Chapter 12
Kagome's P.O.V.
2 weeks later…
I'm out of the hospital now. Good news, right?
But now I have a bigger problem:
Inuyasha.
Ever since I got out, he's been following me around…everywhere! Wherever I look, there he is! It's getting a little annoying now.
Sango says he's just worried, and I know that, but he doesn't have to follow me wherever I go. People are giving me weird looks half the time.
Another day at school, I sat down in the cafeteria for lunch, on guard. I had just escaped from Inuyasha and taking Sango, ran over here to hide in the corner.
Even though I knew, with Inuyasha's demon powers, that he'll soon find me, it was a greater reason for me to take this time of freedom and relax.
But soon, my mind thought back to the hospital visit.
*Flashback*
I had just woken up when I was engulfed in a hug. My body ached with the sudden contact.
"Kagome, thank goodness you're okay! I was so worried! How are you feeling?" I noticed it was Sango. Her brown eyes glued onto mine.
"Just peachy," I said sarcastically.
"Kagome, we're so glad your okay." I looked over to see my family as well as Miroku and Inuyasha.
My attention immediately drew to my mother.
"Mom, are you okay?" I asked, remembering what happened.
She smiled at me. "Yes, I'm fine. No need to worry." I sighed in relief.
After that, I exchanged a few words with the others but sooner than later, a nurse came in and told everyone to leave. I was once again, alone in my hospital bed.
*End*
"Kagome, don't you think it's sweet of Inuyasha to follow you?" Sango asked. My mind came back to the lunch room, remembering that it was lunch time and that Inuyasha was soon to be tracking me down.
I groaned at Sango. "No! It's annoying! How would you feel if Miroku followed you everywhere?"
"That's different. He's…well he's him," she said. We burst out laughing.
Then, after looking around the cafeteria for something, Sango looked over to me and asked, "Hm…I wonder why Inuyasha's not here. Wasn't he supposed to be following you around?"
I couldn't help but giggled. I whispered to her, "I found a way to get rid of h-"
"Kagome there you are! Don't sneak away like that!"
I mentally groaned when I was interrupted. So much for my escape plan, huh?
'Oh no, not again!' I thought.
I looked in his direction.
But I have to say, even though he's annoying and all, following me around like a stalker…he's at least good to look at. But as he advanced, his golden eyes were narrowed in irritancy and his mouth was pouted.
"Yeah Kagome, you left me with Miroku rambling, "Kagome can't be left alone. She'll be in trouble." And the moment I turn back to look for you, you're gone! Can't you understand how much danger you're in?"
Inuyasha continued to ramble for quite a while but he sort of lost me half-way.
…What? This isn't exactly the first time he's said this to me.
Finally, I saw Miroku enter the lunch room and he headed in our direction. Great, another guy.
I interrupted Inuyasha as nicely as I could.
"Sorry, Inuyasha. But I need to have some girl time with Sango. Do you mind?"
Inuyasha gave me a look but then sighed. "Okay, fine. But only until after I come back with our lunches." By "our" he meant Miroku and him.
I sighed in relief. "Thanks," I said genuinely. He left with Miroku trailing after him.
Finally, some peace and quiet!
…Yeah, no.
Right after they left, and I turned back to Sango, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around thinking it was Inuyasha and was about to yell at him, but I instead was met by piercing blue eyes staring straight into mine.
"Hi there gorgeous," the guy said.
I was surprised to see Koga Monto, aka most popular boy in school standing right behind me. With long, black hair, pointy ears, a tail and sky blue eyes, this wolf demon was to die for in this school.
But to be honest, he wasn't much to me.
Well…not compared to Inuyasha I mean.
"Um…Hello," I simply said.
After flashing me a sly grin, I was surprised to suddenly end up in his arms and rushed from the cafeteria with demonic speed.
Sango immediately took action and was about to attempt to stop him when one of his many "friends" stopped her.
I gulped. I got a gut feeling that this wasn't going to turn out right…
Just as I was being carried out I heard Sango call out to Inuyasha and Miroku. I saw Inuyasha drop his food and start running towards me. But by then, Koga had already carried me far from the cafeteria before his tray even hit the ground
After a few more speeding seconds, Koga put my struggling body down and cornered me against the lockers.
"How 'bout you and me skip school today and see a movie?" He smiled at me and scanned me from head to toe.
I shivered. This guy was seriously creepy…despite his good looks.
I stood there, trembling for a while in shock. But when he leaned in closer with his hand by the side of my head, I snapped out of it.
"Who do you think you are, taking me like that?"
I could tell from his face expression that my reaction wasn't expected. He couldn't even say something back.
I took this to my advantage.
"You kidnap me and you're expecting me to just skip school and go on a date with you? You have some nerve, buddy!" I poked his chest.
But unfortunately for me, my hour to shine was done as Koga snapped out of his daze.
But instead of getting mad, he smirked at me. "Hm, you're just my type. I like strong women like you." He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him.
Just as I was struggling and crying out for help, he was thrown of me by a flash of silver.
"Get your filthy hands off her!" I heard a familiar voice growl.
My heart was pounding at Inuyasha's protective tone.
"Figures you'd interrupt me Mutt-Face," Koga sneered back. "Just in time too, I was just convincing Kagome here to go on a date with me."
I saw a millisecond of rage flash in Inuyasha's eyes before he ran over and punched Koga in the face. I gasped at the quickness of it all.
"Don't you ever touch my woman again, you bastard!"
He came over, grabbed my hand and stormed back to the cafeteria, me in tow. Still dazed at the quarrel, I couldn't think of anything else but Inuyasha's statement repeating over and over in my head.
'He called me his woman,' I thought.
I blushed.
So, bee1313 is wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to how Kagome ended up with the Sacred Jewel. Please review with your suggestions because she will be reading them!
