[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
blossom: Hey I’m back!

Kagome: Me two!

Sango: Me three!

blossom: So, while you were waiting for the new chapter, we gave the boys a makeover. What do you think? (steps back)

Inuyasha: blue eye shadow, green eyeliner, purple blush, pacifier outlined in red lipstick, hair in 5 pigtails

Miroku: orange eye shadow, red eyeliner, yellow mascara, white blush, green outlined pacifier, hair already in pigtail.

Sango: Don’t they look beautiful?

Miroku: (thinking) Oh the humiliation. I’ll never live it down.

Inuyasha: (fighting with his conscience) *must kill Kagome!* {no! don’t hurt Kagome!} * must make her pay!* {leave her alone!} *must have revenge!* {forget about it}

Kagome: Next time you guys should listen. Then you’ll be fine.

blossom: Well Miroku’s been okay, sort of. At least he didn’t try to kick me during the makeover, Inuyasha!

Sango: Okay. Miroku, you’re free to go. (unties him)

Miroku: Arigato, Lady Sango (leaves to wash off makeup)

Kagome: See. If you were good Inuyasha, I’d let you go.

Inuyasha: (thinking) I know how to get her to untie me (makes kawaii puppy dog face and whimpers)

Kagome: Awww. That’s so cute. But I’m not going to untie you.

Inuyasha: whimpers louder, droops ears, and makes an even cuter face

Kagome: Ahhh. Can’t fight the cuteness. Maybe I’ll take off the pacifier.

Sango: Kagome don’t It’s a trap.

Inuyasha: makes cutest face in history with big innocent-looking eyes.

Kagome: It’s too adorable. Maybe just the pacifier (reaches for pacifier)

Inuyasha: (thinking) Ha! She can never resist this face. I’ll get her back. {conscience: don’t hurt her!} Shut up!

blossom: If he bites you, don’t say I didn’t warn you. So anyway, on to the story. This is all Kagome’s POV. Enjoy. Oh yea. This chapter has a song. It’s ‘Stuck’ from Stacey Orrico

Disclaimer: Ugh. Again? I’ve said it for 4 chapters already. Will you people never be satisfied? Guess not. I don’t own Inuyasha.

~~~~~~~~~~~last time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha was now sitting in the Goshinboku tree. ‘Everything I told her was true, but she thinks I lied. I should go back to her, but what if she doesn’t want to see me? What if she never wants to see me again? What if she doesn’t love me anymore? No that can’t happen...can it?’ Inuyasha sighed, "Gods, what do I do now?" he said as he looked up at the sky, as if it would give him an answer.

On the other side of the well, through her tears, Kagome did the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome! Hurry up. You’ll be late for school!" called Mrs. Higurashi from the bottom of the stairs.

"Okay mom! I’m up!" Actually, Kagome had been up since 6 a.m. She couldn’t sleep, so she got up and blossomed out the window.

I........can't get out of bed today
Or get you off my mind
I just can't seem to find a way
To leave this love behind
I ain't trippin
I'm just missing
You know what I'm saying
You know what I need
You can't be hanging on a string
While you make me cry
I try to give you everything
But you just gave me lies
I ain't trippin
I'm just missing
You know what I'm saying
You know what I need,

The sun had just begun to rise and the first thing that got sunlight was the well house. Kagome tried to avoid blossoming at it, but in the end her eyes locked on the brown hut. She had been blossoming at it for two hours.

‘It’s been three days,’ she thought. ‘Maybe he really has forgotten me.’ Kagome sighed and moved away from the window. ‘He doesn’t want me back, so I should just get over him. But I can’t.’

Every now and then
When I'm all alone
I'll be wishing you will call me on the telephone
Say you want me back
But you never do
I feel like such a fool
There's nothing I can do
I'm such a fool
For you

Kagome looked at herself in the mirror and spotted the crescent shaped mark on the left side of her neck. She touched it lightly, and thought back to the night Inuyasha gave it to her. ‘He marked me as his mate, so that means he loved me, right?’

I can't take it
What am I waiting for?
I'm still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can't fake it
The way I could be for
I hate you but I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
It's true
I'm stuck on you

Her thoughts were interrupted by her mom’s voice. "Kagome! Hurry up. Your friends are here."

Kagome grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs. She spotted her three friends waiting at the door.

"Hi Kagome," said Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri.

"Hi guys. Gomen I took so long," she replied.

"That’s okay," said Eri, "Daijobu? Are you better today?"

"Hai, I’m fine."

"Good cause Hojo’s been looking for you," said Yuka.

Kagome sighed inwardly. ‘Great. Now I’ll have to spend the whole day avoiding him.’ "Well, let’s go."

Now love's a broken record that's
Been skipping in my head
I keep singing yesterday
Why we've got to play these games we play?
I ain't trippin
I'm just missing
You know what I'm saying
You know what I need

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~at school~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome!"

Kagome winced and shut her eyes when she heard her name called. ‘Oh no. Please don’t come. Please don’t come. Please don’t...'

"Hi Kagome. I’m glad you’re better."

Kagome opened her eyes and looked up. There standing above her desk was Hojo, with a big smile as usual.

"Oh, hi Hojo. Daijobu?" said Kagome with fake cheerfulness.

"I’m fine. I missed you the last couple of days."

"Really. Umm......arigato.'

"I was wondering, Kagome."

‘Here it comes,’ Kagome thought.

"Are you doing anything on Saturday?"

Every now and then
When I'm all alone
I'll be wishing you will call me on the telephone
Say you want me back
But you never do
I feel like such a fool
There's nothing I can do
I'm such a fool
For you

‘Saturday. I’m usually with Inuyasha on Saturdays, but since......’ "Ite, I’m free Hojo."

"Great!," said Hojo, as his face lit up with happiness, "Well, would you like to catch a movie?"

"Sure, I guess," Kagome said slowly. ‘Why not. Inuyasha won’t come back for me.’

I can't take it
What am I waiting for?
I'm still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can't fake it
The way I could be for
I hate you but I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
It's true
I'm stuck on you

As soon as Hojo left, Her friends rushed over.

"Kagome, we just heard. Congratulations!" said Yuka.

"Yea. Now you can finally get over that sleazeball boyfriend of yours," said Eri.

‘They mean Inuyasha.’ "I don’t want to get over him." ‘But I guess I should, he’s over me.’

"Kagome, just think of it," said Ayumi calmly. "How many times have you come to school mad or sad because of him? Hojo would never do that to you."

"Neither would..!" Kagome blossomted to say, but she closed her mouth and lowered her head. She couldn’t argue with Ayumi. Everything she said was true, even the part about Hojo.

"Just go with him on Saturday, ok." said Ayumi, as first bell rang. Kagome was glad to go to her first class, because she wouldn’t have to think of Inuyasha, or Hojo, or what would happen on Saturday.

As soon as she got home, Kagome stopped in front of the well house. It was the closest she had been in three days. She gently touched the door and opened it slowly. She looked at the dark well and blossomted to walk down the steps. Before her foot reached the fourth step, though, she stopped. Kagome could see Inuyasha’s foot prints in the dirt at the base of the well.

Every now and then
When I'm all alone
I'll be wishing you will call me on the telephone
Say you want me back
But you never do
I feel like such a fool


"Inuyasha," She whispered. Just then, her courage failed her, and Kagome ran out and into her house. She didn’t stop till she reached her room, and leaned against the door.

‘What was i doing? He said he wanted me to stay here for good. I can’t go back and face him. No, I’ll stay here.’

I can't take it
What am I waiting for?
I'm still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can't fake it
The way I could be for
I hate you but I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
I hate you but I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
It's true
I'm stuck on you

That night she couldn’t sleep. Everytime she tried, she would remember Inuyasha telling her he loved her. When she tried to dream of something else, she would remember how everyday for the past two weeks, Inuyasha would hug and kiss her when she woke up. Kagome could remember how he would sneak up behind her and hug her for no other reason than to be close to her. She remembered how he would be smiling every second of the day, and how he would laugh more and more often. But then she would remember how he told her to leave and never come back. The anger showing in his face and in his voice, she couldn’t forget that.

"Inuyasha," she said, "Do you really hate me? Was everything a lie just to keep me around? Did you mean anything?" Kagome felt like crying, but she squeezed her eyes shut to keep the tears back. "No. I won’t cry anymore. My friends are right. I have to get over him. I won’t forget him, I could never. But I have to move on. Tomorrow I’ll go out with Hojo, and I won’t think of him at all."

With that Kagome fell asleep. She still dreamed about Inuyasha, but these were happy memories. She felt better and smiles, and it was the first real smile in three days.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~next morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, where did I put my purse?" It was Saturday and Kagome was getting ready for her date. "Purse, purse, purse.....oh yea! It’s on my desk, duh."

It was 10:30 and Hojo was coming to pick her up in a few minutes. Kagome looked at herself and smiled. That day she was wearing a red mini-skirt, a white tank top with a read heart in the middle, and black knee-high boots.

The doorbell rang while she zipped up her left boot. "Okay. Let’s see. 20 dollars. That’s enough." As she passed by her window, she looked at the well house. ‘My first day of my new, normal life. Goodbye Inuyasha, for good.’ Kagome blew a kiss at the well house and went down to meet Hojo.

"Morning Kagome. You look great. Are you ready?' Hojo asked.

"Morning Hojo. Arigato. Hai, I’m ready," she replied. ‘Hojo will be my new boyfriend. I’ll never see Inuyasha again. He’s in the past (literally). He’s gone.’

If only she knew.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

blossom: Ooohhh. What does that mean? Read and find out.

Kagome; I actually want to find out what happens on the date. Hojo? My boyfriend? (shudders)

Sango: Well he is kinda cute. And he likes you. He tried to kiss you once remember.

Kagome: Yea. He kissed my cheek though. Well, he is really nice and sweet.

Inuyasha:(still tied but not gagged) That Hobo guy? I don’t like him.

Kagome: (giggles) If you want me to stop, why move closer?

Inuyasha: (purring) Huh? What? (moves head closer)

Kagome: You’re just a big softie, you know.

Inuyasha: tries to growl, but ends up purring louder

Kagome: Awww. That’s soo sweet (giggles)
