Chapter 2
 
Misunderstanding!
 
Kagome kept her head down all through class so she wouldn't be tempted to look up at Inuyasha. The fates, she swore, were against her when they placed them both in the same classes. The flyers that had been planted all over the school had been removed by teachers and the janitorial staff, much to Kagome's relief. But the lasting effect they had on the students still remained. Kids constantly would call out to her in the hallways, making tears brim the edges of her eyes and a small blush to appear on her cheeks.
 
Kagome's high school life would never be the same.
 
“Ms. Higurashi, I'd appreciate it if you rejoin the world of the living,” he teacher called to her, snapping her out of her thoughts.
 
Snickers went around the classroom as Kagome snapped out of her daze and looked once more to the front of the room, embarrassed at being caught daydreaming. Just as the class quieted and there were only five minutes until the bell rang to signal it was the end of the day, someone tapped her on the shoulder and handed her a folded piece of paper. Kagome's heart leaped into her throat as she recognized the familiar scrawl of handwriting. Hesitantly, she opened it:
 
Kagome,
 
We seriously need to talk. I'll meet you by your locker after class. There's something important I have to tell you. After you hear what I have to say, then you can choose to still hate me, if you want, but what I have to say is urgent. Please, Kagome, just a few minutes of your time, that's all I ask.
 
Sincerely,
Inuyasha
 
Kagome sighed as she refolded the note and placed it in her backpack. As the bell rung, she hurriedly gathered her things and walked out the door, all the while thinking.
 
`He wants to meet me at my locker on purpose,' she thought, angrily. `He knows I have to go there after school everyday. There's no way I can avoid him.'
 
“Kagome,” Inuyasha called, waving to her.
 
The young girl felt her heart speed up a little as she saw him, standing by her locker like nothing had ever happened to break up their friendship. Calmly, she moved toward her locker and opened it, beginning to put books in and take books out so she could do her homework later.
 
“Kagome, can we talk?” Inuyasha asked, studying her.
 
`Calm down, Kagome. You'll never get out of here if you don't at least hear him out. After that, you can move on with your life.'
 
Exasperated, Kagome slammed her locker and turned to face her former best friend.
 
“Talk and make it quick,” she ordered.
 
Inuyasha swallowed hard.
 
“Kagome, what you saw that day, it wasn't what you think,” he said, obviously struggling to find the right words to say. “You know how I always wait for you outside of class. Well, I was doing just that, when Kikyo walked up to me and shoved those flyers into my hand. Then she walked off just as the bell rang. I swear, Kagome, I didn't know what they were until you were right in front of me.”
 
Kagome had closed her eyes halfway through Inuyasha's speech and was now involved in an inner war with herself, debating on whether she should believe him or not.
 
“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked, fidgeting nervously.
 
Would she forgive him?
 
 
A/N: Okay, one more chapter. You decide! Should Kagome believe and forgive Inuyasha? Should I make these two get together? Should I stop asking such stupid questions? Anyway, R&R!
