Chapter 6
Inuyasha's P.O.V.
I woke up feeling a little tired…
Okay fine. I woke up feeling really tired.
I got out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Still not fully awake, I lugged myself around and got dressed.
Yawning, I decided to not go to school today, even though it was Friday, so I took off and ran to the park.
When I got there, I took some time to take in the fresh air. It was another clear day. The sun was bright and warm and the sky was blue as the sea.
Strolling contently, I watched some children play in the playground, laughing and giggling without a care in the world. I stretched and let the cool breeze drift by me.
But something caught my attention. How on earth I didn't notice it before was beyond me.
Carried by the wind, it was the scent of lavender and honeysuckle. Although it was mixed in with all the rest of the outdoors, I instantly knew who it belonged to.
It was Kagome's scent.
I felt my heart soar. It was too good to be true! Smelling her scent here could only mean that she was close by. Maybe she was skipping school too.
I continued to breathe in Kagome's lovely scent. A scent that was so intoxicating, so warm and natural…so…
Wait.
I barely even know her! It's only been the second day since I've met her. How can I be thinking about her this way? Especially after yesterday's incident. She wouldn't even talk to me after that.
The mere though it is sending a dull pain into my chest. Why?
Puffing out a breath, I decided to find the source of the smell. Speed-walking while using my sensitive nose, I found her in no time.
She was walking with her friend; that brunette girl who sits beside her in class.
But the moment I laid eyes on her I couldn't believe them.
Let me tell you, she looked horrible! No longer the confident, natural-beauty I saw yesterday, her outer appearance had changed drastically.
Her eyes that usually had so much happiness and light were now covered over with sadness and darkness. Dark bags hung under them and her hair was a mess.
But what bothered me the most was when I noticed Kagome's beautiful smile was replaced by an ugly frown; a sad grimace that refused to go away.
Was it because of what happened yesterday?
Suddenly, I had the urge to run over there and comfort her, but I doubt she'd even want a half-demon to touch her. Even in her current state and so fragile-looking, she would rather hug the dirt than have me go to her.
Wait. Why do I care what she thinks?
Then it dawned on me.
What is Kagome to me? Do I like her?
Too busy caught up with my feelings, I barely noticed them until they started walking in my direction and my ears picked up their voices.
I wanted to hide and pretend nothing happened but I couldn't take it anymore. It would break my entire bad-boy-indifference attitude but my heart got the best of me.
I walked up to them. "Kagome, what happened? You look horrible!"
Sango snapped at me, "She's not in any mood to talk to you!"
I was about to comment back when I heard, "Sango, its okay."
I looked down at Kagome. Her whisper was so weak, even I barely heard it.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind us. Sango and I turned around to see who it was while Kagome barely had the strength to lift her chin from her chest.
"Ew…Kagome you look so ugly! I don't even know why Inuyasha is hanging out with someone like you."
Guess we weren't the only ones to skip school.
Guess who? Bet all you smart people know, huh?
Well, hope we get reviews! We love them after all!
