Payback Is A….
Chapter 2 (ReVamped) –The Heart of the Matter
"I-Inuyasha?" I ask as I begin sweeping the glass up
"I take it by the broken glassware you're as shocked as I am."
I scoff.
"What the heck is he doing back here?" I ask after I dumping the glass into my trashcan.
Three Years Earlier…
" Oh eff my world!" A young girl with short, frizzy black hair grumbled as she tripped over her own two feet. She went face first onto the cold linoleum hallway, dropping her armful of books and papers. She groaned and looked up and around the empty hall, to see all of her papers littering the hall. She groaned again and got on to her hands and knees, grabbing them and shoving them all into one book. She was late for the second time that week. She stayed up late studying for midterms and overslept. She knew her teachers would overlook it, she was the top student in the senior class, but she still hated walking in late. She began to speed up the process and accidentally cut her finger, resulting in a high pitched whine and two nonsensical curses.
"Need a hand?" A male voice came from behind her. She whipped around to find a 6'3, young male with amber eyes looking down at her.
"Kagome. Right?"
The girl stared back at him through her thick frames, her lips tangling in her braces, as her mouth was suddenly devoid of saliva. Smiling, he bent down and picked up her papers adjusting them before placing them into her notebook for her.
"Yeah, yeah that's me."
He stood up, and extended his hand out to her. Kagome's eyes hadn't left his nicely sculpted jaw line, which was nicely framed with shoulder length silvery hair. Her eyes darted to his hand, she hesitated, eyes back to his face.
"Chill, I'm not about to hurt you."
Kagome just laughed nervously, a smile forming and dropping all within a second she took his hand. He smiled at her, helping her up
"I'm Inuyasha."
"I know." She'd have to be on drugs to not know the school's point guard as well as the third highest student in the senior class.
"You'd better hurry up you're already late."
" Right." She nods quickly, slowly taking her stuff from his hands. She gave a quick bow before running off to class. Inuyasha smirked as she ran off. He looked down and noticed he had left behind a blue folder. He picked it up and looked inside, finding her address, and other bits of personal information.
"This might be more fun than I thought." Whistling, he turned and started for class.
The Present
"Gotta watch out for the hot ones. They can be some of the most evil, sexiest beasts to walk the Earth." I say as I flop back on my bed yanking the headphones from my iPod, letting the fast paced music fill the room.
"Ok, I'm not sure if you're going into heat over there or getting angry." Sango joked. I answered her with a pillow to the face. She grabbed it and threw it back sticking her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes.
" You know, this is actually a really good thing. We can maybe use this passage of time to our advantage!" A smirk danced on her lips.
" What are you talking about Song?" I sat up and looked at her. I could see the diabolical wheels spinning, her eyes squinting evilly underneath her bangs, the evil smirk had spread through her entire body now.
"Your Revenge." She smiled, her words dripping with an undertone I didn't recognize.
I got up and went into her room and began looking under her bed and through her drawers. She followed me, one eyebrow raised.
"What are you doing?" She questioned from the doorway.
"Looking for your crack pipe, because you're obviously on something!" I say standing up, and crossing my arms. She gave me a sideways look, before pleading her case again
"Come on! I know it's been 3 years but I know you. I know you're still torn up about the situation."
"If it isn't crack, maybe it's something stronger, like bath salts? No, then you'd be naked and eating my face." I muttered loud enough for her to hear.
"Kagome, I'm being serious!" She half whined
"So am I! I really don't want anything to do with him."
"Okay, you win. For now. But I know you, K.K. I know your mind will change. This isn't over."
She walked out of the room. I sat down on her bed, my head falling into my hands. Closing my eyes, I could still picture his face that day in the hallway, that smile he flashed me. Alternating feelings of anger, sadness and irritation flowing through me.
'It's too late for revenge. It was three years ago, I'm too mature for something like that.' I thought, sighing.
Right?
