From Friendship to Love

Chapter Three: HW - Monday part 2

Inuyasha was about to go crazy. He needed to talk to her. After lunch, Kagome and him had Literature together. The entire class she had her head down not even looking up once.

`This isn't like my Kagome,' he had thought, `she's always happy in public no matter what was going on in her life.'

He was now currently in the locker room getting ready for football practice. He had not been able to catch her alone before she went to the senior float meeting. She tore out of the classroom after school let out. He tried to catch up to her, not caring about anything but her at that moment. But right before he reached her, some one had tackled him in the side.

Kikyou wanted him to walk her to cheerleading practice, she was already dress and ready and he did.

That was twenty minutes ago. He could not take it any longer; he needed to talk to her. Him and Miroku were always early to football practice, he was ready, and Miroku was not far from being ready.

"Hey, I am going to start heading out to the practice field, catch up when you're done."

Before Miroku could respond he was out the door.

Inuyasha started down the long trail that led to the practice field. He pulled his cell out and dialed Kagome's cell number, praying she had it on.

Ring Ring

"Hey!" she answered happily. (cell phone = caller ID)

Miroku had to run to catch up to Inuyasha but stopped behind him when he realized he was talking on his cell. He could hear everything his friend was saying.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Inuyasha, I honestly don't know. All I wanted all day was to be with you, to just be able to talk to you. It was great beating you this morning but after I fought with Kikyou my mood plummeted."

"I'm sorry"

"It's not your fault, I'll be fine you know that."

He could hear the sadness in her voice.

"Do you think your mom would mind if I stayed over tonight?" he asked.

"Really?!?!?!" her excitement rising.

"Hey! Now that sounds more like my best friend. Now go be a good little girl and clean your room. I'll be there after practice but first, I will have to stop home and grab my stuff for tomorrow."

"Ok! Ok! Ok!" was the only response he got and he could help but laugh.

"Calm down. By the way, which of your PJs are you wearing tomorrow to school?….you know I just want to make sure…"

She cut him off before he could say anything more immediately realizing where he was going with that question.

"Don't even go there Dog boy, you know very well I didn't purposely where the same thing as Kikyou today. Besides…" her anger rising.

Chuckling he cut her off too hearing the anger in her voice.

"I'll see you later Ok. Love you. Bye." He hung up.

He just shook his head. She always picked on him about being Kikyou's little puppy, hence the nickname `Dog boy'. He didn't mind at all.

Miroku cock his head sideways after Inuyasha's conversation ended. He still had not made his presences known.

He never knew Inuyasha had a best friend and a female one at that. He didn't even think Inuyasha was allowed to even look at the opposite sex. Kikyou had her leash tight around his neck.

There was no way she knew about his best friend which is probably why he, Miroku, didn't even know of her. The less people who knew the smaller chance Kikyou would find out.

His mind began to wonder who in the world she was. She had to go attend Shard High if she was wearing pjs to school tomorrow.

Miroku completely missed Inuyasha's teasing the girl, which would have given him a hint as to who it was. But it flew right over his head.

He made a mental note to observe his close friend more and try to figure out who was this mystery girl. He ran to catch up with his friend, and they reached the practice field soon afterwards.

------

It seemed like forever before Inuyasha got her house. It was around seven, she had made her mom wait to serve dinner until Inuyasha got there.

Dinner was fun. Souta and Inuyasha talked about Inuyasha's latest video game. Kagome talked with her mom about school.

After dinner, Kagome stole her best friend back from her little brother and took him upstairs to her room.

Her mother completely trusted Inuyasha so he was allowed to sleep in her room.

The two friends took their showers and changed into their Pjs (separately of course). They had decided to help each other with their Calculus homework. It was the only class either of them had that gave them homework during Homecoming. Luckily it was only three problems.

It took them longer than it should have because they often times strayed away from their homework to talk and tease each other.

Kagome was spread on her stomach across her bed and Inuyasha was sitting on the floor. When they finished their assignment, Kagome closed her book and turned onto her back stretching and looking over at her clock. It was 8:45.

"Man, if you would learn to not talk so much, we would have been done an hour ago." She teased.

"The same could be said about you," he said as an evil thought enter his head.

There she was lying on her back stretched her arms still above her head. Before she knew what was happening, he was straddling her and tickling every ticklish spot on her body.

She erupted into a fit of laughter as she tried desperately to stop his hands from continuing her torture. She tried to free her legs but his strong thighs and knees held her in place. Her hands attempted to grasp at his arms but they were too quick for her.

The laughter continued for another two minutes before the Lone Ranger was heard coming from Inuyasha's bag. He grumbled, got off Kagome, and headed towards his bag.

`Three guesses as to who it is, Inuyasha, and the first two don't count.' He told himself. Not even bothering to looking at the caller ID.

"Hey, honey." He said.

He heard Kagome mumble something and walk out of the room shutting the door behind her. Inuyasha sighed.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Kikyou asked.

"Nothing, just tired that is all."

"Oh, ok I'll make it quick then. I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with my family tomorrow."

He hated spending time with her family. Dinner was eaten in silence and they were always cold and distant. But all he wanted was Kikyou happy so he said yes.

"Great, just come over after practice tomorrow, ok?"

"Alright, see you in the morning."

"ok, I love you!"

"you too, night" (gag)

"night"

He hung up the phone and turned to see Kagome re enter her room.

She didn't know why but she didn't want to be in the room when he talked to her. She had never felt like that before. She was slightly jealous because Kikyou had stolen his attention away from her. She knew he would never talk to Kikyou for long while he was spending time with her, because it was their time, their only time to be together.

"Sorry" he said as she placed a movie in her VCR.

She didn't respond, just grabbed his hand and led him back to the bed. Their favorite past time was lying on her bed and watching movies together. As the movie started he noticed it was one of his favorites and smiled at the girl lying beside him but his smiled faded as he noticed she looked sad.

"Kagome are you upset with me?"

"No, why would I be?"

"I don't know. Your just quite and sad."

"I'm not sad, Inuyasha."

"Then why do you look like you are…" they were now looking into each other's eyes.

She knew she couldn't hide anything from him for long. So she told him how she felt.

"I guess, I just feel little jealous," she paused looking away from him, "its just that she gets so much of your attention whenever she wants and I…I have to wait till we can be alone and even then she has the power to take you away from me." She tried to fight back tears.

He said nothing, his eyes had traveled up to her ceiling as he thought about what she had said.

"I know she doesn't mean to, and you have your duties as a boyfriend, and….and I am just being selfish and stupid, please forget about it." She sat up bring her knees to her chest and lying her head on her arms trying to hide the fact she was crying.

He snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of her soft, muffled whimper. He was thinking that he didn't spend that much time with her and was trying to figure out new ways he could see her more often. He had heard what she had just said but it didn't register until he snapped out of his thoughts. It broke his heart when he realized what she had said and even more so when he saw her crying.

"Your not being selfish, Kagome, I understand, its okay. And just for the record I was thinking of different ways in which we could be together more often. You're the most important person in my life, hands down even more so than Kikyou. Don't get me wrong, I really love and care for Kikyou but you're my best friend and in my book best friends are more important than girlfriends. Girlfriends come and go, but friends are forever, Kagome." He watched her but she didn't move.

"I promise you, I will figure some way we could spend more time together. And Kagome…" finally she lifted her head to look at him, "I wanted to apologize that things can't be different. I am sorry that when you need me, I can't always be there for you right away, like I should. Its just that my mother is weak and fragile and I fear her finding out about my father would destroy her…"

"Inuyasha, don't worry, I understand, she's your mother and I would never want you to risk her health for me whether or not you would. I am stronge enough for both of us, and one day I know, we'll be able to be friends with out the secrets. But I do want to tell you I am sorry for my depression earlier today and just a moment ago."

"You don't have to…"

"Yes, I do. I don't know what has come over me today but I want to be strong enough for you so you don't have to worry about your mother. I saw how worried you looked when I almost cried after our fight. If Kikyou would have seen she would have known something was up. I risked too much today. I promise I will keep extra care to keep my emotions in check in public."

He didn't want her to do that, she didn't deserve to have this done to her. She deserved so much more.

"Kagome don't worry about it, its okay. Nothing happened, Kikyou and everybody else have no idea. Don't hide your emotions from me, just promise me that."

"But…"

"No buts…just promise"

"Ok…I promise."

With that he wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes and pulled her down with him. He was lying on his back with Kagome's head resting on his chest. His arm wrapped around her shoulder rubbing her back and their legs were intertwined. They laid there watching the movie until they both eventually drifted off to sleep.
