Inuyasha's first day of school
The vibrant sight of the setting sun shined through the window of the heart broken girl. The room was peaceful and foggy. She dropped her things on the floor and jumped into the soft cushioned bed that was hers. The pillow consumed the saddened face but it didn't seem to absorb moisture. A soft thumping on the door got the girls attention.
"Yes?" She barely yelled.
"Dear, dinner is ready."
"I'll be right there."
Kagome sat up and looked out her window. She approached it and stared at the house in which the Bone Eaters well was. She thought for a while until she was interrupted by another knock. This time, Sota was there. He came to see why she wasn't at the table with the family.
"I don't really have an appetite, Sota." Kagome turned and continued to gaze out the window. If only Inuyasha was there to see her in her state. His feelings for Kikyou would only deepen because of the similarities in their faces. When she was sad, she was Kikyou.
"But mom made mashed potatoes and hotdogs. Don't you want some?" Kagome sighed and only looked further out her window. Sota closed her door and tugged on her skirt.
"Why are you so sad, sis?" Sota was serious and didn't want to hurt Kagome. She sat down next to him and put her arm around him.
"You remember Inuyasha, right?"
"Yeah…"
"We're… together at the moment but a few minutes ago, I found out that he… he still loves his Ex-girlfriend… and now, I'm doubting that anything we've been through wasn't real at all. I was just someone to occupy his time." Sota thought a little bit.
"Find someone else!"
"I'm not going to go and find a boyfriend! I don't need one."
"Is it because you still like Inuyasha?"
"No… I'm only 15. What good is a boyfriend for at 15? I honestly wasn't going to start dating until College but he just caught my eye."
"If you think that his treatment towards you is hurting you, then brake up with him."
"I can't until I get the truth out of him."
"Hmm." Someone else now knocked on the door.
"Dear, someone's here to see you."
"Thanks mom!" Kagome looked at Sota. "What should I do? Maybe it's him."
"I'll go look…" Sota dashed out of the room and quietly crept to the stairs. He saw only a girl. He ran back to Kagome. "It's some girl!"
"Thanks, Sota!" She kissed him on the cheek and went to her visitor. Sango's face lit up as she saw Kagome on the second floor. "Come on up, Sango!" Sango ran up the stairs and hugged Kagome.
"Are you feeling O.K.?"
"No…"
"What happened at the park?" Kagome went with Sango into her room and explained everything. Sango sighed and looked at Kagome's damp eyes. "That's why you went around the whole park, so you wouldn't confront her."
"Yes but after that we made up. Then we got into another fight. He started to lecture me about how she has changed. I wasn't going to take that crap from him so we're fighting again."
"What about that guy you tackled today. You know, the one close to Wacdonalds?" Kagome thought at first that Sango was talking about Hojo but then she remembered that it was Sesshomaru who was tackled.
"Oh… you saw that?" She giggled a bit.
"Miroku and I were around the neighborhood when we saw you jump on him. We thought you were extremely angry so we left as soon as you got up off him."
"I was just sick and tired of that running away fiasco going on between him and the girl."
"Did you know him?" Sango eyes widened.
"Yeah! Sesshomaru is his name. He's Inuyasha's brother." There was a long silence in which they were staring at each other. Kagome was looking at Sango like she was expecting something.
"What are you looking at?" Sango backed away.
"Aren't you supposed to do the whole, 'Ah! Sesshomaru!' thing?"
"I have a guy in my life all ready."
"Still it wouldn't hurt."
"AHHHHHHH! SESSHOMARU!" Her eyes became beating hearts and in a spilt second went back to their normal state. "Happy?" She asked irritably.
"…No." Kagome started to pick on her lips with her fingers.
"I hate to see you like this, Kagome!"
"I'm fine, believe it, I am."
"I have to go! I'll see you tomorrow, O.K.?"
"Yeah, bye and thanks for coming!"
"Sure." Kagome walked Sango to the door and waved bye until she disappeared. Once Sango was gone, Kagome stepped out of the house and went to the sacred tree.
'This is where dad proposed to mom. They were truly in love, but what's wrong with my relationship?' Kagome was climbing into the tree. Being around the tree made her feel better. She felt as though her father was near and watching her. She sighed and closed her eyes.
Footsteps were echoing throughout the shrine. Kagome heard nothing, as she was fast asleep on that branch. The person walked up to the tree and stared at it for a second. He then walked to Kagome's house and asked for her. Sota informed him that she left and went somewhere. Disappointed, he went back to the tree and sat by one of its roots.
'Where could she be?' Inuyasha sat there for a while, hoping that he would see her walking back but she never came. All he heard was breathing. Soft, gentle and relaxing. He stood up and concentrated. It wasn't the wind rather a girl on the branch of the tree. He climbed it carefully and sat by her. All he did was stare at her and he appreciated her beauty.
'What am I going to say to her when she wakes up? I'm sorry but I don't want you anymore?' He looked to the ground until he felt the branch move. Her vision, at first blurry, couldn't make out the person next to her but within seconds, everything was clear.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome made no eye contact with Inuyasha.
"I came to see you. I wanted to apologize to you about what happened. Everything was fine until I opened my…" He was cut off.
"Don't give me that. I know it wasn't just and accident. I felt that you meant every word." Inuyasha tried speaking but Kagome wouldn't let him. "You really convinced me that you loved me, I was certain, but now everything's clear to me. We weren't meant to be with each other. It was a stupid fling that should have ended sooner and without the pain. I've come to a decision… and you probably know what I'm going to say."
Inuyasha squeezed the branch and said, "You want to break up with me?"
"Yes! It's the only logical thing to do. We're over."
"NO! I didn't come here to listen to that garbage! There is no logic in relationships!"
"YES THERE IS!" Kagome raised her voice a bit to show that she was in control. "I WAS JUST SOME SORT OF THING TO KEEP YOU OCCUPIED UNTIL YOU WERE SURE YOU WANTED HER BACK!"
"You think that? Then you're really stupid. I never lied to you about anything I said, I stopped thinking about her when I met you! You were… you are the only person that matters to me! I…" He struggled to say those words that he never uttered to Kikyou. "I love you!"
Inuyasha leaned in and gave her the most heart filled kiss he ever gave her. Kagome didn't close her eyes nor did she become surprised when he did so. She wasn't even looking at him. Her eyes stared at the shrine.
"Predictable!" Kagome whispered as Inuyasha backed away shocked.
"W-what?"
"Predictable!" Kagome said louder that time. She slipped out of the tree swiftly and landed on the ground safely but didn't spare Inuyasha a heart attack. She looked back up and they stared at each other sadly. "We're over and that's that!"
She turned and made her way back to her house. Inuyasha panicked and fell out of the tree. It was pretty high and he landed on his back. Kagome heard the boom and ran towards him. Kneeling down next to him she put his head on her lap and tried to get his attention.
"INUYASHA! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"
He groaned and his vision became clear. "Why are you next to me?"
"Just because things between us aren't working out doesn't mean I'm any less of a human."
"What…eh… does that mean?" He got up on his own.
"It means that I'm not a bad person! When someone's hurt, I try my best to help!"
"Yeah yeah! Catch you later…" He said in his concerned voice.
Kagome sat there on her knees and watched her Ex- boyfriend walk from her. "He really doesn't want me then…" Kagome's heart sank. She placed her hands on top one another on her heart and felt the beats tighten. After that she felt as if she was going to throw up. "What was I thinking!" She got up and went down to find Inuyasha. She made it to the corner of the street and stopped suddenly. Her worst fear had come true. Kikyou took Inuyasha's hands in her own and placed a kiss on his soft lips. Inuyasha's eyes closed as soon as their lips met. He had accepted what killed Kagome on the inside. Her eyes filled with tears but not one fell to the pavement. She held her head and closed her eyes tightly that it became painful. She felt like ripping out every strand of hair in her head.
Koga happened to pass by and had no idea that this was Kagome.
"Miss, are you all right?"
She picked her head up and her eyes puffy and red faced him. "KOGA!" She jumped up at him and hugged him tightly. She hid her face on his chest and held him close.
"Kagome? What happened?" Koga held her.
"I…don't want to… say. Please…" She rubbed her face on him.
"Take your time." Koga smiled sweetly and stroked her hair. He led her to a park bench and sat her down. She didn't explain what happed but that she was hurt from Inuyasha. "I'll kill that bastard!" He got up but was held down by Kagome's arm.
"Please don't! I'll get over it… you know how these things work." She smiled painfully. His heart bled for her. He hugged her and sat down.
"Kagome… why do you hang out with him? All he'll ever do is hurt you! You need someone who will be a constant in your life! He shifts more then the weather does." Koga leaned against the bench chair as Kagome giggled. He looked at her sternly and uttered, "I wasn't a joke!" Kagome stopped giggling.
"Now him too?" Kagome stealthily moved farther away from Koga. She sat at the opposite edge of the bench and staggered the space between them. Koga wasn't aware of her movements but he sensed her distance from him. He slid down and grasped her hand. Not one reaction from her was experienced.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be crude, it's just…" Koga had a difficult time with what he wanted to say. "It's just you're not aware of what he can do to you! He's not as nice as you think!" Kagome forcefully pulled her hand from his and turned around.
"If you want to be a good friend then I suggest you don't verbally bash others. Even if they have done wrong it's still not right. I don't care about your thoughts on this situation and I didn't ask for your help!" Kagome stood up and ran off. Koga didn't go after her but he understood what she said.
"So what if I saying a thing or two about that bastard? Not like he's going to be of any use to her."
"And what are you doing here at this time of night? Shouldn't you be in bed sleeping?"
Koga clenched his fists and stood abruptly. "My your own fuckin business! I'm not the one making out with my ex-girlfriend!" Koga walked away and shoved his hands into his pockets. "People like you piss me off! You good for nothing piece of shit!" Inuyasha didn't tail gate him with threats nor did he start a fight; he just accepted it. Koga passed by Sesshomaru and said, "Teach that mutt to mind his own business!"
Sesshomaru was all ready riled up from the day. Now this act from Inuyasha? Sesshomaru kicked him across his head and hovered over his body.
"HOW MUCH MORE SHIT ARE YOU GOING TO CAUSE AROUND HERE? IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT KAGOME'S OUT OF YOUR LIFE, HUH? SCREW YOU!" Sesshomaru left Inuyasha as well.
Kagome entered her room and began to cry again. She wiped away her tears as soon as they came out from hiding.
"I'm sick of crying! No more tears on his behalf…he's not worth it!" Kagome continued with what she said. She never cried over him and she never spoke to him. She lived her life as if she never met him. She laughed more and was free to do what she wanted.
I know what you must be thinking! And the answer is no, this is not the end of the story! I'm just telling you how she acted for the next couple of days. There will be more! R&R!
