"Talking"
'Thinking'
ON WITH THE STORY! (:
I sighed as I flopped down on my bed.
'Thank God I'm home!'
There was a knock at the door.
"Yeah?"
Miro popped in.
"Hey Kaggies. I'm going to shoot some hoops with Shippo and Kouga. I'd ask you to come with,but sports aren't your thing,right?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Bingo."
He smiled,obviously amused he still knew me perfectly.
"Well,when Yash comes home,tell him we're at the court. Please?"
I groaned and nodded.
"Alright. Fine."
He shook his head and left.
'Hopefully Inuyasha will jump on the chance to get outta here and I won't be stuck here with him AGAIN!'
I cringed at the thought.
'I don't know what the hell it is about him that makes me dislike him so much,but I really can't stand him. I mean,sure he's an arrogant jerk and a douche wad,but I've been able to handle that before. So,what is it about him?'
I shook my head,clearing my thoughts. I had more important things to think about than Inuyasha Takahashi. I started on my English homework. We were studying Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar. We had to write an essay.
*An Hour Later*
I put my pen down as I finished my essay. I smiled. I was great at school,I just hated it. I was quite enthused with my essay. I stopped as I heard footsteps on the stairs. I groaned. Inuyasha. I walked to the door and pulled it open as he was about to walk into his room.
"Hey,Princess."
He smirked and I frowned.
"Miro wanted me to let you know that he's at the court shootin hoops with Shippo and Kouga."
"That's nice. Thanks for the update."
I rolled my eyes and walked back to my room. As I was about to shut the door,I stopped,hearing Inuyasha's voice.
"Hey Kagome?"
I turned slowly.
"What no petname?"
He had a confused look on his face.
"Can I ask you a question?"
I nodded and prepared myself for an arrogant or smart-ass question,but the question he asked threw me off my guard a little.
"Why do you hate me so much?"
My eyes widened and I contemplated this. Seeing that he'd thrown me off a little,he elaborated.
"I know I'm arrogant and a bit of a smart-ass,but is it really that bad? I'm sorry if it affects you that much."
I didn't know what to say. His eyes were genuine and held a confused,slightly hurt gaze and his face wore no sign of his usual smirk. He seemed to really be opening up to me about this. In the short time I'd known Inuyasha,against my will might I add,I'd figured out he wasn't one to open up easily,and he definitely wasn't going to open up to just anyone. So why was he opening up to me?
"I,um,I don't know."
It was his turn to be confused.
"I know this has to be hard for you Inuyasha,I'm sure you're used to people falling at your feet. Especially girls."
I tried desperately to get a rise out of him.
"Yeah,but it wasn't always like that."
I couldn't help myself. I was intrigued.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Forget I said anything."
I couldn't tell,but I thought I could see a touch of sadness in his eyes. I prided myself on being a good judge of character and being able to read people. Some considered it unnerving,others thought it was cool,a few even got irritated by it.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay?"
He smirked.
"Of course I am,Cupcake. I'm the great Inuyasha Takahashi. I'm always A-Okay."
I rolled my eyes.
'Back to annoying Inuyasha.'
The sadness still touched the corners of his eyes.
"I'm gonna shower. Later,Sweetcakes."
He walked in his room and shut the door. I stared at it for a moment before doing the same. I layed back on my bed.
'That was odd..and a bit out of character. Why did it seem to bother him so much? And what did he mean by it wasn't always like that? I'm missing some things. Maybe if he'd be like he was just now,before he went arrogant jerk mode again,maybe I could like him. Maybe. No promises.'
I sighed and turned the stereo on. It was playing 'The Best Love Song' by T-Pain featuring Chris Brown. I let my thoughts wander then slowly drifted to sleep.
*Midnight*
I woke up to someone knocking on my door. I walked over and pulled it open. I was shocked to see Inuyasha.
"What's up?"
"Sango's little brother Kohaku is in the ER and Roku went with her. He wanted me to let you know."
"Thanks. I hope he's okay."
"Roku said he'd let us know what happened."
I nodded.
"You wanna come in and hang out?"
He looked at me,shock obvious on his face,but he walked in and I shut the door behind him.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry. Sure,you're an arrogant jerk,but I guess that's just who you are. I never gave you a chance,and I don't hate you. You just irritate me sometimes."
He looked at me.
"Thanks. I guess I could see how I could strike a raw nerve. I'm really not that bad. And I really like you Kagome."
I smiled.
"Awww. Thanks. That means alot coming from the great Inuyasha."
He smirked and looked me over. I was wearing baggy black sweats;a black tanktop;and my hair was up in a high ponytail. He smiled and walked over to the bed.
"So,tell me about yourself Inuyasha."
"What's there to tell?"
"Your story. About your life."
"Ok,well let's see,Mom died at birth. Dad died when I was thirteen. Sesshomaru was my only family. We don't get along. And Roku is my best friend,which doesn't say much. You?"
"Dad died when I was eight. mom's dieing. Instead of taking care of her like I wanted,she forced me here. And I have a little brother."
"Cool."
"Yeah. So,what'd you mean earlier? About 'it wasn't always like that'?"
He sighed and that sadness came back.
"Well,when you're a half-demon people look at you wierd. They don't know ow to take you. I used to be the last person anybody wanted anything to do with when I was a kid,which is strange. I looked like a puppy. I was cute. Eventually,when Kikyo came into the picture in Junior High,everybody wanted me. I made the football team and earned even more brownie points. Then Kikyo cheated on me in ninth grade,but I still had football. Then,I just quit football and started not to give a fuck and that worked even better. That's how I got to be the man that sits here on your bed. Alot of girls would kill for this situation."
He smirked,but this time I smiled.
"Good thing I'm not alot of girl,huh?"
I walked over and sat next to him as he smiled.
"Yeah. I guess. It's kinda nice to meet a girl that's not a complete air-head or bimbo,or worse both."
"Nope. Not one drop of air-head or bimbo in this girl."
He laughed and I found I kind of liked the sound. It made me smile. He looked at me curiously,then leaned over and pulled the ponytail out of my hair. His hand lightly brushed my cheek and it seemed to start a fire,burning through my veins. My cheeks flushed and I looked down.
"You look better with your hair down."
I smiled. I couldn't think of a snappy comeback. Suddenly,his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Yeah?"
"Oh okay."
"Cool."
"Alright man."
"Don't worry about her. I got this covered."
"I promise,lecher."
"Later man."
He hung up and looked at me.
"It was just a broken ankle,he's gotta have a cast. Roku's gonna take Sango home and stay with her."
"What was that about a lecher?"
"He was worried about you,I said I had it covered. Now he has the impression I'm gonna molest you or something."
I laughed.
"Sorry,but no way that's gonna happen!"
He smiled.
"You never know. Stranger things have happened."
'He's right Kaggies. Stranger things have happened. Plus,he is hot. You have to give him that. And y'all are kinda clicking right now. You know you'd like it.'
I mentally screamed at that little voice to shut the hell up,as a red blush covered my cheeks. Looking down,I noticed him smirking. He must've caught the blush. Damn. He leaned back and stretched lazily.
"I'm telling you Kagome. Give me a shot. You'll see why I'm so cocky."
"I doubt it."
I rolled my eyes,trying to play it off. I must have epicly failed. I could tell by the look in his eyes,as they passed over my body. They seemed to be studying my curves.
*Three Hours Later*
We'd been talking for about three hours and I was kind of enjoying it. Suddenly,Inuyasha stood and stretched.
"Well,I'm gonna head off to bed. See you tomorrow."
I nodded.
"Goodnight Inuyasha. See you tomorrow."
"Goodnight Kagome."
He walked out and I foundmyself missing his prescence just a tiny bit. I shook my head and layed down. I had school in two hours. I didn't think I was gonna make it.
*Noon The Next Day*
I sighed as I looked around my room,glancing at the clock.
'Noon?'
I jumped up and looked again. Sure enough,the clock read 12:00 pm. I sighed and shook my head. Missing school,and it was only the second day.
'Oh well,what can you do about it now?'
I stood and decided to take a shower.
*After A Shower*
I had just stepped out of the bathroom and was gonna go downstairs when I heard someone coming up the stairs. Wondering who it was,I walked to my door and opened it.
"Skipping school already? Roku's not gonna like this."
I smiled.
"Roku's not my daddy. I overslept. Why aren't you in school?"
"I'm never in school. Have better things to do with my day."
He smirked and I nodded. He looked me over.I was wearing light blue jean shorts;a tight black t-shirt;no make-up;black Converse;and my hair was up in a ponytail.
"I thought we talked about this last night,you're hair looks better down."
I pulled the ponytail out.
"Happy?"
"Much better."
He smirked and walked to his room.
"Wanna come in?"
"Nah,I decided to take a walk around town today."
"Ah. Well,enjoy."
"Will do."
I bounced down the stairs and out the house,welcoming the cool breeeze. Maybe Inuyasha wasn't so bad after all. Maybe.
(Author's Note:I know it's extremely short,and I apologize! But this was more of a filler..and I just really wanted to get another chapter up. So,I hope you enjoyed. Read & Review please!)
