Winning You Back

Chapter 5

Choices, But No Answers

-

A tug of hope dawned on Kagome as she sat down under a tree to eat her lunch. During most of the day Inuyasha was looking at her, staring at her heavily as she passed by him in the hallways and even when she was sitting in the classroom, doing her best to act as naughty as she could be. Everyone seemed surprised, and ashamed, on how Kagome was acting. But that didn't bother her as much as why Inuyasha wouldn't talk to her. No matter how much he looked at her, he would never talk to her. Even if he didn't know it it was hurting her so much.

She took a bite into her sandwich, enjoying its tastes as much as she could. Lunch was the only part of day she enjoyed anymore. She could sit under the tree, eat, and watch her surroundings as events unfolded right in front of her eyes. Kagome laid her back against the bark of the tree and closed her eyes, letting the breeze cool her down.

"Kagome?"

She slowly opened her eyes to see a tall shadowy figure come up to her. She let out a shriek, which scared nearby birds out of their positions they were perched in in the tree.

"Kagome, it's me Sango!" She told her best friend, who was still shaking. Hearing her friend's voice, she got a better look and noticed it was indeed her best friend.

"Don't do that, you almost scared the life out of me!"

"I didn't mean to scare you. It wasn't my fault you were staring off into space. But that's not what I'm here to talk about."

Kagome slowly turned her gaze over to her friend, eyeing her suspiciously. "Then what are you here for?"

"I have some good news and some good news and some bad news, which will both turn our bad in the-"

"Just tell me the good news first, Sango." Kagome turned to face her friend, who took a seat next to her. While her friend got comfy Kagome sat there, tapping her fingers against her skin. "Hurry up! I don't have all day!"

"Yeah, yeah. The good news it that Inuyasha seems to be paying more attention to you know then he was before. Meaning, our plan is working." She sighed and then continued. "The bad news --I figured out why he has been ignoring you lately."

Kagome gasped. She was finally going to learn why he ignored her, but she wasn't so sure she wanted to know, now that Sango seemed so down about saying it. She stiffened a little bit as Sango began to open her mouth to tell her.

"He's... seeing someone else," she said loud and clearly, making sure every word got out and that Kagome could hear it. Scared to see her friend's face, she turned her head slightly and looked at her. Tears were streaming down her face, and the makeup she was wearing was mixing with the tears making her look like an awful mess.

"D-Do you... know... w-ho?" She managed to ask between sniffs, trying her best not to burst out into tears.

"It's..."

"S-Sango... don't tell me it's her. It can't... be h-her! Sango?!" She was doing her best not to get up and run away. But when she didn't answer, she knew it had to be her. She got up as quick as she could and jolted off to her house.

"I'm... sorry Kagome," Sango whispered into the wind as her best friend ran home. She now knew that nothing would be the same. Not for a while at least. "She'll never trust anyone again, just like before." She got up and brushed the grass of her skirt, then left inside the school.

Kagome ran inside her house and bolted up to her room, ignoring her moms calls and questions that she threw at her. She grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and shut the door. It took all of her strength to not burst out crying. But one question remained in her mind as memories flashed through her mind. Why?

'Why? That's a stupid question to ask.' Now she was going crazy.

"Who are you?"

'Just you're conscious stopping by to give you some support.'

"Great..."

'What? You know you love me.'

"I don't have time for this."

'You don't have time for me but you have time to cry huh? I was only going to help you make things better but-'

"How?!"

Kagome mentally slapped herself for saying that. She was talking to herself again. If someone found out she would be the laughing stock of the whole school, which would hopefully not happen.

'Since you're being so mean I'll only give you a hint. Inuyasha is not going out with who you think it is. But when you do find out, nothing will be the same anymore and you'll learn trusting people will be the hardest thing.'

When she noticed the voice in her head stopped, she played back the words it last said to her. But what did it mean by 'trusting people will be the hardest thing'? She wiped the tears from her eyes and sat down at her desk. She needed to figure out who he was really dating before she found out the hardest way, to be told by him.

Send To: Dog Demon

Subject: Ignore me not!

Hello, Inuyasha! I'm sure you know who this is. I'm here E-mailing you today to find out whom you're going out with. I can't believe your cheating on me! Senseless jerk! Spare me, and tell me, so I don't have to come to your mansion and get it out of you myself!

Love ya,

Kagome

She added a little bit of her new act in there. It would be weird if she didn't cause then he would get suspicious. She closed her laptop and took a seat on the end of her bed.

Knock-Knock.

Her mom opened the door and saw her daughter on her bed playing around with her fingers. She took a seat next to her, which brought Kagome out of her thoughts to who sat down next to her.

"Mom?"

"Kagome, what's wrong? You came running home from school so early and you didn't even answer my pleas to ask you why you did."

"I'm just not in the mood to talk about it mom. It... Hurts too much."

Her mom smiled at her and walked over to the door and stepped out, only her head peaking though. "Just remember if you need any help or if you need to talk things through... I'm here for you." She closed the door and left her daughter they're to think.

"What should I do?"

Review Responses

humble-bumble: I'm glad you like her new act. She'll have that hard going act for a little bit. I'm also sorry it was so short! My mom won't let me on the computer cause she says I'm on it too much. I never have time to write stories!

Sesshy's kitten: Lol! I take Spanish to and I have a C- in it. But I also take Japanese so I don't care about my Spanish grade. A D is English, that sucks must suck... if I got a D my mom would kill me, literally.

Review!

Ja ne!
