A Summer to Never Forget Chapter 19: Messing With Feelings, an inuyasha fanfic

Hey guys! I'm back once again with another installment of A Summer to Never Forget! Yeah, I know i took like a month (was it more?) to update, but it's not as bad as last time right? sigh, i already explained about all of my ideas for this story being lost with my little book, and so writing this is hell now because I don't know where to go! T_T but I won't discontinue it, because I love writing it and I don't want to upset or disappoint anyone... lol i got a few threats not calling any names... *cough cough Nyagirl* :P that made me reconsider XD but I got that awful thing called writer's block that made me unable to finish the chapter for weeks... I literally stared at the page every time I tried to write it and I was still in the same spot... That sucks, but I guess I just gotta deal with it, and since all my ideas are gone I'll make new ones and just go with the flow...

Oh, and to clarify something, I said in one chapter that Kagome hadn't hugged a boy in a year but in another that she broke up with her ex 4 months ago... I'm sorry for the mixup. Kagome did indeed break up with him 4 months ago which is why the pain is still so deep, and so she should have said that she hadn't hugged a boy in months not a year... Gomenasai :'( Thanks to XInuKagXOXORobStarX for pointing that out to me. Anyway, enough of my drabbling... I've added a bit of drama to this chapter, so without further delay... ON WITH THE STORY!

-Chapter 19- MESSING WITH FEELINGS

DISCLAIMER: Nope, don't own him. Stop asking already, you're making me feel bad! T_T

The gang all walked into the mess hall talking and laughing, until Rin suddenly stopped short. Since she was in the front, everyone else who was walking behind her bumped into one another, earning groans and sighs and "Ow!"s from everyone except for Sesshomaru who kept walking past them until he stood in front of Rin.

"What's wrong with you Rin?" Kouga asked irritated.

"It's horrible!" Rin said, staring horror-struck ahead of her.

"What, the asparagus are back for an attack?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. Kagome jabbed him in his rib and he glared at her.

"No; worse!" Rin cried.

"What could be worse than that?" Sango joked.

"Breakfast is over!" Rin cried.

"Oh…" Sango said, the smile dropping off her face.

"Are you serious?" Miroku demanded.

"Yeah, look," Rin said pointing at the buffet table. It was completely empty except for a few browning fruits. Everyone else's faces turned to a look of horror to match Rin's.

"Oh no, we missed breakfast!" Kagome cried. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious Sherlock," he said. She pinched him, causing him to yelp in pain.

"And I was hungry!" Sango whined. "What do we do now?"

"Well, we could always eat the mutt. I heard dogs taste great with ketchup," Kouga said staring at Inuyasha. Everyone else's mouth dropped open in horror and disgust, and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both turned to glare at him.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Inuyasha asked menacingly. "Did you just threaten to eat us?"

"Yes, so you have a problem with dogs?" Sesshomaru asked in a dangerous tone.

"What's it matter? I thought you said you weren't a mutt," Kouga said to Sesshomaru.

"I am not a mutt. I am a powerful daiyoukai. My father was the greatest dog demon to ever roam these lands, and I follow closely in his footsteps. I am also a great dog demon, therefore I dislike that comment you made. To think that your vile, unworthy lips could ever think about touching me is enough to cut off your head," Sesshomaru said coldly. Kouga sweat-dropped.

"I was talking about Inuyasha anyway," he said. Inuyasha growled at him.

"I am not sticking up for my brother when I say this, but he is half dog as well, and furthermore saying that still insults our kind," Sesshomaru said. Everyone looked at him surprised- especially Inuyasha- that he was actually sticking up for his brother (though he claimed that he wasn't).

"Besides," Kagome piped up, "We are against animal violence, and eating a dog is just sick!"

Kouga shifted uncomfortably, realizing that he upset Kagome as well.

"I didn't mean…"

"Kouga, why don't you just shut up, 'cause every time you talk you just dig your hole deeper. Soon you're gonna be six feet under if you know what I mean," Inuyasha sneered. Kouga scowled and looked away, but he didn't say anything else. Kagome watched him sadly, a bit hurt that he would even suggest eating a dog, yet alone any cute, furry little animal.

"Okay… so if we can move on please…" Miroku said, sensing the upset in the peace and balance between the group.

"Yeah, what are we gonna do Sesshomaru?" Rin cried. Sesshomaru stared at her coldly.

"We? Why do you say we? I do not eat human food," he stated simply before walking off. Everyone exchanged a puzzled look.

"So what does he eat then…?" Sango voiced the question on everyone's minds. Everyone shrugged as they imagined what kind of food Sesshomaru could possibly eat, and then shuddered at the thought of human bones dangling from his mouth, blood staining his teeth(Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha's thoughts), or a big bowl of dog food (Kouga's thoughts), or a plate piled high with alien food- asparagus (Rin's horid thoughts)…

"I guess we have to wait until lunch," Kagome said sadly. Everybody sighed.

"But I'm starving!" Rin whined.

"Us too Rin," Sango said putting an arm around her. "Lunch isn't too far from here. I'm sure nobody will drop dead before then."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that," Kagome suddenly said. "I'm so hungry… I think I may die in a few minutes!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Yeah right. Stop playing around."

"What if I was serious though? What if I really do die?" Kagome demanded. Inuyasha shrugged.

"Oh well, it's been nice knowing you. Maybe I'll attend the funeral… in red."

Kagome glared at him.

"So you're saying that you don't care if I die?" she demanded. Inuyasha shrugged.

"Not particularly," he said, folding his arms indifferently. Kagome scowled.

"You jerk! You know what? I-"

Suddenly, Kagome's words were cut off by an ear-piercing scream that escaped her lips. She dropped to the ground clutching her stomach with her eyes squeezed shut. The gang all cried out in alarm. Immediately, all indifference left Inuyasha's countenance, and he sprang to her side, a look of heavy concern in his eyes.

"Kagome! Are you alright?" he cried in alarm. He gently touched her arm and stared at her face, worry and concern written all over. His body was tense and rigid, his mouth was twitching in anticipation, and his ears moved at the slightest bit of sound or movement. Kagome's eyes twitched, and he involuntarily drew in his breath, wondering what was wrong with her.

"Kagome! Kagome! Answer me!" he cried, shaking her gently. After a few seconds, Kagome opened her eyes slowly and stared at him. Immediately, he felt as if he were being drawn into them by some strong force, but he couldn't look away from her in fear that if he did they would close again.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said softly and weakly. Her face was twisted in pain.

"What is it?" he asked in a tone that matched hers.

"Come closer. I… wanna tell you something."

Still holding his breath, Inuyasha moved his face closer to hers.

"Closer…" Kagome said. He moved his head a little closer to hers. Now he was staring her directly in her eyes, and the force was so great that it almost hurt. He heard Kagome draw in her breath too, and he wondered if she felt the same as he did.

"Turn your head," Kagome said. Inuyasha obeyed, and with much difficulty he broke away from her gaze and turned his head so that his ear was closer to her mouth. Kagome moved her head over until her mouth was inches away from his ear, so close that they accidentally brushed his ear. When they did, Inuyasha felt a strange stirring in his stomach, but he ignored it.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. Her breath tickled his ear, stirring up his stomach even more.

"What is it?" Inuyasha breathed. Kagome hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she finally said,

"…Gotcha!"

"Huh?"

Inuyasha sat there confused for a few seconds as his mind processed what she had just said. Meanwhile, Kagome jumped to her feet, and her expression completely changed to one of evil happiness. Inuyasha stared up at her and watched as a smirk formed on her lips.

"You liar! You do care whether I die or not!" she said triumphantly. Inuyasha just stared at her incredulously.

"What the fuck was that all about?" he demanded, jumping up from the ground.

"I just wanted to see if you were serious or not about caring if I die," Kagome said smiling. "Turns out you do care. You looked like you were about to die," she giggled. Inuyasha however didn't find any of it funny.

"Hold on a minute! You mean to tell me that you were just pretending that whole time just to prove a damn point?" he asked angrily.

"Not pretending. Acting," Kagome said winking at him. Inuyasha growled.

"Bitch! That wasn't fucking funny! You were just playing with my damn emotions!" Inuyasha yelled. Sango frowned disapprovingly.

"Inuyasha, language!" she scolded. He turned to glare at her, but she gave him a death look of her own to show that she wasn't backing down.

"Yeah Inuyasha, why are you so mad anyway?" Kagome asked. "It's not like you haven't tricked me before! In fact, you tricked me lots of time and you don't see me getting all upset over it!"

"Yeah Inuyasha, can't you take a joke?" Rin asked.

"Yeah man, just chill," Kouga said grinning evilly.

Inuyasha looked around at all of his friends, and he got even angrier to see that they were all siding with Kagome over him. Why couldn't they see how wrong she was? Only Miroku remained silent, and watched Inuyasha with careful eyes, because he knew the real reason why Inuyasha was upset.

"You know what? Just shut the fuck up and leave me alone! All of you! If you're gonna side with that wench over me then fine! I don't need any of you! I'm so fucking gone!"

With that, Inuyasha stormed out of the mess hall, leaving behind an angry cloud of confusion. Everyone exchanged a look with each other. Wow… he was mad!

"Gee, wonder what crawled up his butt and bit him," Kouga said, pointing in his direction. Kagome bit her lip and looked down at her feet.

"Maybe I went too far…" she said quietly. All heads turned to her.

"Why do you say that Kags?" Sango asked.

"I… he was right. I shouldn't have messed with his emotions like that. I went overboard…" she said fumbling with her hands. "I…I'm gonna go apologize to him."

"No way! That mutt deserved it for saying that he didn't care if you died! That was harsh. If anything he should be the one apologizing to you!" Kouga said angrily.

"But messing with one's emotions still isn't right," Miroku said, speaking for the first time. Everyone looked at him surprised.

"Are you saying that I should apologize Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, you trying to say that Kagome doesn't deserve an apology?" Kouga demanded. "That mutt played with her emotions too, so she only naturally retaliated."

Miroku glared at Kouga.

"I'm not saying anybody is right or wrong. I'm simply stating my opinion, but if you want to know where I stand, I'd say that both of them need to apologize to each other for abusing the other's emotions. Is that alright with you wolf?"

Kouga frowned.

"Whatever."

Kagome sighed.

"Miroku's right, but Inuyasha will never apologize to me. But… I'll still apologize to him. If I don't it'll be on my conscience all day."

"That's so sweet of you Kags… always thinking about others' feelings before yours," Sango said in admiration. "Go on and apologize… we'll be waiting for you two when you come back."

Kagome sighed again.

"Okay… see you guys later," she said as she started to walk off.

"Good luck!" they all called to her, except for Kouga who watched her walk off with a frown on his face.

A Kagome walked out of the mess hall, she felt a bit sad at the way things had turned out. She had only meant it as a joke, payback even, but instead it had turned out horribly wrong. She didn't know how mad Inuyasha was, but he had cursed a lot and called her a bitch, so she guessed that he was pretty steamed. She hoped that he had had time to cool off so that when she went to apologize he didn't walk away from her or curse her out some more. As she entered outside, she stopped short looking around. Inuyasha was a hanyou, meaning that he had super strength and super speed. And the camp was very crowded today… how the heck was she going to find him? She sighed to herself. Not only did she have to apologize to him, but now she had to search for him too. Great.

'If I were mad and needed time to cool off, where would I go…?' Kagome thought to herself. Well, naturally the first place that Kagome would go if she were upset was her cabin. So that's the first place she looked. She began walking towards her cabin, when she suddenly remembered that she was looking for Inuyasha, so he would be in his cabin not hers. She slapped her forehead at her silliness, and walked towards Inuyasha's cabin instead. She walked up the smooth stone steps one at a time, a bit nervous. She didn't know why, but she was almost scared to talk to Inuyasha, in fear that he would be so upset that he might not be in his right mind, leading him to do… some things.

Kagome shook her head clear of her fears. Inuyasha was mad, but he couldn't be that mad to actually hurt her… could he? She shook her head again.

'Of course not! It's not like I killed his mother or anything! In fact, by now he may have even forgotten about the whole thing!'

Even though she thought this, Kagome knew that it wasn't true. Still, she had to do this or she would never forgive herself. Taking a deep breath, Kagome timidly reached out and grabbed the handle. Slowly she turned it and pushed open the door, and then stepped inside. It was completely dark. She groped along the walls for a light switch, and when she found it she flicked it on, causing the room to burst with light.

"Ah, much better!" Kagome said to herself. "Hmm… if it was so dark in here, that may mean that Inuyasha's not here. I mean, why would he be in a totally dark room? Unless he likes the dark. Maybe it helps him to think better. Well, from the looks of it he's not in this room… he could be in his bedroom."

Slowly making her way down the hall, Kagome looked around. It looked exactly the same as the first time she'd been in here with the others. Good thing she knew where his room was. She arrived outside his room and saw that it was open. Stepping inside, she was greeted by dark emptiness. Again she groped for the light switch on the wall, and once again when she found it she flipped the switch. However, unlike with the living room, the light switch didn't cause the room to come to life with light. Everything remained pitch black. Puzzled, Kagome flipped the switch several more times but nothing happened.

'Oh great!' Kagome groaned to herself. 'The bulb must be blown. What do I do? Hmm… maybe there's a lamp on the bureau.'

Sighing, Kagome walked slowly and terrified across the room in the dark to reach to the bureau where a lamp hopefully was. The room wasn't particularly big, but to Kagome the walk seemed exceedingly long, and with each step she took she wondered why she wasn't on the other side of the room yet. Walking in the dark like this reminded her of when she was with Inuyasha walking through the dark in the mess hall when Nikki was throwing the camp a surprise party. Thinking about that brought back scary memories and she gulped.

'Relax Kagome!' she scolded herself. 'There's no one here in this room but you, so no one's gonna grab you or try to grope you again!'

Still, she couldn't shake the scared feeling she had.

Finally, she reached the other side of the room. She didn't know where the bureau was though, so she stretched her arms out in front of her and began feeling around for anything that felt hard and smooth. Her hand came into contact with something hard and smooth alright, but Kagome doubted that it was the bureau. Slowly she ran her hand over the thing, and when she felt it start to become soft she began to pinch it. Now she felt a bunch of hair… could it be a cat? She positively adored cats! Not scared anymore, Kagome began stroking the furry creature's head gently until she bumped into the ears. Taking them in her hands, she stroked the ears all over, tweaking them oh so softly.

'Hey… these don't feel like cat ears…' she thought to herself. 'More like dog ears… Oooh a puppy! Even better!'

She continued stroking the animal's head and touching it's ears, from which she earned a satisfied growl/moan. Upon hearing it, she began tweaking the ears with a little more force earning louder growls of pleasure from the dog. She smiled to herself. She loved pleasing animals.

"Such a cute dog…" she murmured to herself. "I just wish I could see you…"

She sat down on the edge of the bed right next to the dog whilst continuing to stroke its head and ears. When she sat down she must have startled the dog however, because it jerked its head towards her. When it did, Kagome's eyes met with the most striking gold eyes she had ever seen. She let out a surprised yelp at the sight of them. Dogs' eyes didn't glow in the dark! Upon hearing her yelp, the animal backed away from her.

"What the hell?" it demanded. Kagome screamed again, this time in fear. Animals didn't talk either! Panicked now, Kagome instinctively grabbed the closest thing she could get her hands on- a lotion bottle resting on the bureau next to the bed- and chucked it at the creature.

"Ow! What the fuck? Kagome is that you?" it asked, pain evident in its voice.

"How do you know my name?" Kagome demanded. The thing rolled over and Kagome instinctively jumped off of the bed away from it.

"Kagome!" came its irritated voice. She watched as its gold, glowing eyes came closer toward her.

"Don't come any closer or I'll hurt you!" Kagome warned. "Who the heck are you?"

"Kagome, stop doing shit! It's me!" the voice said roughly, still nearing closer. In just two seconds, it quickly closed the gap between it and Kagome; she knew this when she suddenly felt a warm hand touch her arm. Flashing back to when she was groped in the dark the last time by the boy, Kagome's leg reflexively shot out to kick the offender. However, somehow he saw it coming and before she could blink she felt her foot stop in midair, inches away from his face. He had grabbed her leg! Then, he pulled her leg in to him, forcing her to come closer to him, and wrapped it around him so that her leg now straddled his torso. She blushed at the close contact of their bodies, and she was now sure that this was indeed a human male and not a creature. She idly wondered to herself if he was cute.

"Let me go!" she shrieked. "Who are you?"

"Kagome…" he said. Before she could respond, she heard a little click, and just like that the room lit up. She blinked for a few seconds as her eyes adjusted to the light. They darted around the room and rested on the lamp sitting on the bureau that he had just turned on- the whole point of all of this- and then finally on the person holding her leg.

He brought his face close to hers and put his mouth right at her ear. She felt his breath tickle her ear as he whispered, "Kagome, it's me; Inuyasha."

"Inu…yasha?" Kagome asked dumbly, blinking in surprise. "That… that was you?"

"Of course it was me dummy! Who the hell else did you think it was? The boogey man? Big foot? Your mom?"

Kagome flushed.

"NO! I thought you were a cat or a dog!" she cried defensively. The look Inuyasha gave her made it clear just how dumb she sounded, and she flushed again.

"Dumbass wench! How the fuck could you mistake me for an animal?" he demanded. She flushed again.

"Easy! You act uncivilized like one and you sure look like one! But excuse me for not recognizing those satisfied growls of pleasure as yours!"

Now it was Inuyasha's time to blush, and he looked away embarrassed.

"Whatever. What the hell are you doing in my cabin in my room anyway?" he asked.

"I came here to talk to you and-"

"Well forget it. I don't wanna talk to you so go away!" he cut her off. She frowned angrily. The nerve!

"Look you!" she began.

"My name's Inuyasha," he interrupted. She scowled at him.

"My mistake dog boy," she sneered. Inuyasha frowned.

"It's only cute when Nikky calls me it," he muttered. Kagome heard this, and she raised an eyebrow.

"Ugh! You know what? I don't even know why I bother!" she exclaimed. "Just forget it! Let me go!"

"Huh?"

"Let go of my leg!" Kagome yelled causing Inuyasha to look at her leg still straddled around his waist that he had forgotten… When she saw him staring at it her face turned red and she became embarrassed again.

"Stop staring at my leg you pig!" she yelled pushing his chest with her hands. She kicked and jerked her leg, trying to get free, but since it was still attached to Inuyasha, instead of becoming loose, her force pushed them backwards. Before either of them had time to blink, they felt themselves falling backwards through the air, but instead of hitting the ground they hit something very soft… They had landed on the bed. Dazed, they lay there for a couple of seconds; Kagome was now on top of Inuyasha, her head smooshed into his chest and forced to stay there by his heavy hand resting on her head.

"Jerk! You did that on purpose!" Kagome accused, her voice muffled by Inuyasha's shirt.

"I did not wench! You're the one who pushed!" Inuyasha replied.

"Because you wouldn't let go!" Kagome argued, turning her head on the side so that she could breathe.

"You didn't give me any time to! You started pushing and jerking before I could even think about moving my hand!" Inuyasha argued back. He wasn't losing this fight. Kagome gave a growl of frustration.

"Okay, whatever. Arguing on whose fault it is isn't going to solve anything. Let's just-"

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence when she heard a knock on the front door.

"Inuyasha… did you hear that?" she asked.

"What, the knocking on the front door or the advancing footsteps toward the room?" he asked seriously. Advancing footsteps? Kagome listened carefully, and sure enough she heard the light footsteps that sounded like they were coming towards the bed room.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said looking up at him. He looked back down at her, his gold eyes captivating her for a few moments.

"Yeah?"

"Maybe we should move…"

No sooner than the words left Kagome's mouth did they hear a knock on the bedroom door. Both of their bodies froze instantly so that none of them were able to move. All they could do was watch in horror as the door swung wide open, and in walked the person Kagome least wanted to see in the whole entire world. Upon seeing Kagome and Inuyasha, they let out a loud, horrified gasp that caused Kagome to cringe in embarrassment and fear of being caught. Inuyasha must have felt the same way because she felt his muscles tense underneath her, and then he muttered under his breath,

"Oh shit…"

"What the hell is going on in here?" a shrill voice shrieked loudly, causing both Kagome and Inuyasha to cringe.

"Kikyo…" Kagome mumbled under breath.

"Just what do you think you're doing all over my man?" Kikyo demanded, glaring at Kagome. Kagome looked away from her intense stare, feeling that if she didn't Kikyo's evil, soulless eyes would bore a hole through her skull.

"He's not your man and we're not doing anything, so calm down!" Kagome exclaimed. Kikyo just continued glaring at her. Then, she took ten long, angry strides across the room until she stood a few feet away from the bed that Inuyasha and Kagome occupied.

"Not doing anything? Liar! Why are you on top of him like that then?" Kikyo asked.

Kagome guiltily looked at the position she was currently in with Inuyasha. She was laying on top of him, her leg still straddling his waist and her other leg in between his. Her hands had clasped around his neck reflexively during the fall to keep herself from falling, and they were still there. One of Inuyasha's hands still rested on her head, and the other had reflexively wrapped around her waist during the fall as well, and also still remained. Not to mention that their faces were extremely close… Too close to not look suspicious! Unable to give Kikyo a response, Kagome just remained silent, and Kikyo took this as an opportunity to pepper up the situation.

"You slut! You were having sex with Inuyasha before I came in here weren't you?" Kikyo demanded. "You guys just stopped when you heard me knock didn't you? I can't believe you! He's not even your boyfriend!"

Kagome's mouth dropped open at Kikyo's accusation. WHAT? In a flash she untangled herself and jumped up off of Inuyasha and stood facing Kikyo directly so that she was staring straight into her eyes. More like glaring.

"What? We were not having sex Kikyo! In fact, I just came here about ten minutes before you did! We weren't doing anything, so before you go jumping to conclusions you should ask first! I came in here to talk to Inuyasha, but it was dark and I thought he was a creature, and when I went to kick him he grabbed my leg and then I tried to push him off but we ended up falling on the bed like that and then you showed up. End of story! And you're such a damn hypocrite Kikyo. I can't even count how many guys you've slept with who you didn't even know, so don't you DARE have the audacity to call me a freaking slut! EVER!"

Kikyo narrowed her eyes at Kagome.

"Are you calling me a slut now?" she demanded.

"I'm not calling you anything Kikyo; I just want you to get the hell out of my face!"

"You're the one who came up in my face idiot!" Kikyo said. Kagome growled.

"If you don't stop talking to me then soon you won't have a face!" Kagome threatened.

"You know what? I didn't come here to talk to you so I don't know why I'm wasting my time on the stupid!" Kikyo said, causing Kagome to flush. She turned her back toward her and turned to face Inuyasha instead.

"I came to talk to you Inuyasha," she said. Inuyasha, who had been watching the fight the whole time with a scowl on his face, changed his expression to one of surprise.

"Me? Why me?"

"Yeah Kikyo, why him?" Kagome asked dangerously.

"Shut up Kagome! I'm not talking to you!" Kikyo yelled. Then, her voice turned back to sweet as she turned back to Inuyasha.

"Because, I really like you and I'd like to get to know you better Inuyasha."

Inuyasha flushed and looked away. She studied his expression before frowning.

"What's wrong? You look a bit upset. What did that awful Kagome do to you?"

Kagome clenched her hands into fists and dug her nails into her skin to keep her from punching Kikyo, who seemed to know that she was pissing Kagome off.

"It's nothing. Forget it," Inuyasha said in a strange tone; like he was holding back something. Kikyo sat on the bed beside Inuyasha and rested her head on his shoulder, earning another surprised look from him and a horrified one from Kagome.

"Inuayasha…" she said softly. "Whatever it is you can tell me. I won't hurt you like Kagome… I want to help."

Inuyasha was speechless, but for some reason his face suddenly felt hot and tingly and his hands felt sweaty.

"Kikyo…"

"Come, let's talk Inuyasha. I'll help you feel better. Plus, you promised me that we would talk later," Kikyo said, taking his hand. Kagome felt like she would explode if Kikyo continued touching him.

"He didn't promise you anything!" Kagome yelled. Kikyo just shot her a nasty look before getting up off of the bed pulling Inuyasha up with her.

"Inuyasha… I wanted to talk to you…" Kagome said softly. Inuyasha just looked at her before looking away.

"I don't want to talk to you…" he said lowly, so low that she barely heard it, but unfortunately she did. Before she could say anything else, Inuyasha walked out of the room, and since Kikyo was still holding his hand she got dragged out as well. She turned her head back to Kagome who now stood there staring at them in disbelief, and gave her a satisfied smirk. Then, before Inuyasha exited the room, Kikyo dropped his hand and stopped walking.

"Keep going Inuyasha, I'll be there in a few minutes," Kikyo said. Inuyasha nodded and left the room without another word. Kikyo smiled an evil smile, and Kagome watched her horrified and warily as she made her way back over to Kagome.

"I win this round Kagome, so you might as well give up. He wants to talk to me, not you! Great huh? I actually kind of like him. You lose Kaggie-chan," she said, gently stroking Kagome's hair. Just the feel of Kikyo's hand in Kagome's hair, let alone any part of her body, made her feel sick and nauseous, and the evil look in her eyes made her shiver in disgust and hatred. She slapped Kikyo's hand away which only seemed to make her even more pleased. She turned on her heels and walked out of the room, her hair swaying rhythmically with her hips. When she reached to the door, before closing it, she turned around and said to Kagome with a sick, evil smile on her face,

"Kikyo: one, Kagome: ZERO!"

With that, she slammed the door shut hard, so hard that the lamp on the edge on the bureau fell off the edge and shattered on the floor, enveloping the room and Kagome's soul in darkness. She could only stand there and stare at the now closed door, alone, many thoughts running through her mind, and many emotions tugging at her heart, and she finally sunk to the floor, feeling shattered like that lamp.

Sig, so there we have it. A bit of an intense chapter, don't you think? Now the rivalry match between Kagome and Kikyo has officially begun! Keep reading to see more! (Maybe someone will get punched... :D) Well anyway, I thank you all for reading this, it means so much to me! Please R&R and I'll really try harder with the next chapter to get it up earlier... I'm already working on it now. One more thing before I go... I recently watched Eclipse and it was AWESOME! (I prefer the books better though but that's just me). Anyway, I'm an emotional person and it makes me mad to see Bella torn between two guys. So... Team Edward or Team Jacob? Please leave your answer in the reviews or in my inbox... (Btw, I'm a team Jacob ALL THE WAY even though I know how it all ends XD). Well then, with that said,

~Mata Ne!~ (To all my Team Jacob fans! :3)
