InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Can't Stop Loving You ❯ Part Five ( Chapter 5 )

"I'm sorry, I - I - Inuyasha! I'm so sorry! P-please don't! P-p-ple-e-ase!" she sobbed out. Inuyasha winced on the other line, looking around the room to see the questioning faces of Mrs. Higurashi, Souta, and Grandpa. He looked back at the counter.

Kagome sobbed on the couch, trying in vain to keep quieter than an occasional wail, but failed. She couldn't, and she could tell the Inuyasha's ears were probably starting to pound. "I'm sorry. . .S-so s-sorry. . . I want to see you so badly. . . I h-hate it here! P-please come and get me!" she wailed into the phone receiver.

"Kagome! Shush, wench! Calm down! Kagome. . . No, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry. . . more. . . Dammit!" Kagome heard him curse on the other line. She grabbed a pillow and smushed it up against her face and tried to sniffle her sobs. It obviously worked, since Inuyasha was questioning her silence.

"Kagome? Did you hang up? Why is it quiet?" he asked the silence.

"Because I'm trying to stop crying! For God's sakes, boy, you can never be happy can you!" she gasped as she realized what she said. "I. . . I'm sorry, Inuyasha. Sorry! Please, don't be-"

"Shush!" he silenced her. She quieted right away.

"I. . . Inuyasha?" she asked hesitantly.

She stayed silent. He hear an ringing in the background, and Inuyasha was starting to get restless, and as if not being there to help her was enough, it just made him feel more awful that he knew she was still crying. But, he sill wanted to know what that Goddamn question was.

He could hear her sniffling, "What is it, Kagome?" after that she started to bawl again, but something stopped her short. Inuyasha could hear the ringing in the background again, annoying him, and hurting his sensitive ears. The poor guy didn't know how to turn down the volume…

"Hello?" he heard Kagome ask someone in the little blue dorm room that she lived in. "Hold on a sec, Inuyasha. There's someone at the door." she said as she set the receiver down on the couch arm. He heard the door creak as she obviously opened it to see who had rung the doorbell. He heard someone, obviously a man's voice, "…Hey Kagome, how ya been? It's been so long since I've seen you, I mean, sixth period, hah! Ye………Uh huh……" he heard only a few words from the man's voice after that, for he had gone further away from the phone. Inuyasha absent-mindedly growled. Another man around Kagome was enough to make him go into youkai form, but he had to 'keep his cool', as the people in Kagome's time said often. He heard the man's voice again, as if he had come back into the room. The Inu-hanyou listened into their conversation, "…Harvard, yup. I'm so going to Harvard, Kagome."

"Well, your smart!" she giggled as Inuyasha heard the man on the other end make his trade-mark 'keh', which just angered him more. Kagome's escalating giggling made him angrier even than that.

"Hey, your phones off the hook." Inuyasha heard the man say. "Oh, I know, Inuyasha's on the phone, but someone distracted me while I was talking to him" she replied.

"You've been crying, did he hurt you? I'll kick his ass if he hurt you." Inuyasha heard his footsteps get closer as the man ran towards the phone.

"No! No, no, no, no, no! It's fine, Connor, He was actually trying to help…" she mumbled the last part, and picked the phone back up.

"Inuyasha? I'm sorry, my friend Connor came over and-" -CHINK- was heard as she put him on speakerphone, "-needed to find an assignment that he left over here yesterday. Which is why I put you on speakerphone. Because I need to help him find his assignment," she finally finished her explanation, and Inuyasha found something fishy about the situation.

"He was over at your dorm, last night? Doing what?" he asked, the sound of suspision in his voice. Kagome chuckled, because she knew what he was thinking they did. Another chink was heard as speakerphone was turned off and just Connor was on the phone, and he ran into a room and locked the door.

"We fucked so hard last night, bro. God, you girl is good st-"

"Oh my God! Connor! You bastard!" Kagome yelled at him, banging on the doors, a heavy blush staining her cheeks as she desperately tried to get through the door.

"What the- Get the fuck off the phone, you horny, sick, bastard! Lemme talk to fucking Kagome!" he demanded, gripping the phone so hard he could've sworn it started to cry. But, Connor didn't stop, "Yea, she is a 'fucking Kagome', a good one at that too. Man, I dunno how I fit my-"

"GET THE HELL OFF THE PHONE, CONNOR!" Kagome cursed at him. He chuckled at her, for he had never heard her curse before, "Yea, yea, whatever. Don't worry, Inu-er-whatever. Her friend is my girlfriend. We're just friends, you have nothing to worry about," he lowered his voice a little, " Trust me, she loves you. A whole-fucking-lot. She never seems to stop talking about you. You should think about getting your ass up here so that she isn't so damn lonely, alright? Okay, peace out!" Kagome chuckled at his wangster 'goodbye' as he handed her back the phone. Putting it up to her ear, she hesitated as she though about what he would say to her. Would he be mad? Would he believe what Connor had told him? Would he laugh at the joke? Or…what would happen?

Finally, she took a breath and gained her courage to answer again, as she watched the weird boy, Connor, look through her stuff to try and find a paper that they had been working on together the night before.

"H...Hello?"

he stayed silent for a moment, before realizing that she thought he was angry with her. He chuckled, and heard her obvious sigh of relief.

"Hey, so, fuck him good?" he asked with another chuckle.

"No! I mean, well, we didn't do anything! He's my friends boyfriend. Please, trust me!" Inuyasha grinned a little.

"Don't worry, Kagome. I believe you," he paused for a moment, not knowing what to say, "Are you feeling better?" he asked.

"Yeah, kind of. I think I just need sleep. I'll let you go, kick Connor out, sleep, and call you back later, okay?" she said a little drowsily.

"Okay. Goodnight, then. I love you." he said, another blush rising to his cheeks as he saw Souta had walked into the room, and was now giving the hanyou an odd expression.

Kagome smiled, "I love you, too. Buh bye."

"Bye…"

CLICK was heard as she put the phone down. Shutting her eyes and laying down on the couch, she yelled for connor to get out of her dorm as soon as he found the papers, just before darkness consumed her, and her mind left for the land where her and Inuyasha actually could be together.
