InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ gymnast from hell ❯ chapter 15 ( Chapter 15 )

Hey, I'm back... thank you all for the amazing feedback. I feel so loved. I just feel so excited right now, I LOVE sports, mainly track, and the track aspect of the Olympics have started and I just feel, for some reason, so giddy. To add to it, I feel so happy that Jamaica has won a medal for the finals of the 100m sprint. (I don't care that its bronze, the fact that we won a medal is great enough) I must congratulate the USA and Great Britain and all those other leaders in sport for their victories and such.

Instead of boring you with my love for sports and all that jazz, I'll let you read this next chapter.

This is the first time I've been able to get online since I last updated, so I have yet to read my reviews. I intend to check them out after I post this. My friend told me how many reviews I have at the moment, and to say I was shocked is an understatement. I'm also thrilled. Thank you all!!!!

And now the chapter. (Plz read the author's note at the bottom)

Chapter 15.

The gang sat in the living room while Ayame paced in front of them.

"So you're saying that you only teased Kagome because your ex-girlfriend made you?" she asked.

"Yeah" Inuyasha whispered guiltily.

"…and you tell s this now when Kagome's NOT HERE?!" Sango yelled.

"Well…"

"Well Inuyasha, you get yourself deeper in shit everyday don't you?" Kouga piped up. Inuyasha glared at him.

The phone rang and Ayame answered it (seeing as thought it is her house), whoever was on the other line seemed to be crying, or had been crying.

"Hello?" she asked again

"Ayame, come get me please…"

"Kag??" she asked incredulously. Looking at the receiver in her hand.

"Aya, please come get me…"

"What happened?"

"Ayame please" she urged

"W-ok where are you?"

"I'm on the highway. I'm-I'm scared Aya"

"'gome what's going on?" she asked desperately, but her cousin was refusing to disclose any information. "Kags what happened? Are you ok?"

The other occupants of the room were getting slightly on edge, they could only hear one side of the conversation, and it didn't sound good.

"Just come get me please," she pleaded even more desperately. Her voice cracking from emotion.

"O-ok, I'm on my way" she hung up. Ayame looked at the cordless phone receiver in her hands, as if it would help her better understand the situation. Something was going on with her cousin, and from the sound of it, she didn't like it one bit.

"What's wrong?" Sango asked. Her thumbs twiddling in her lap.

"I-its Kags, I gotta go get her"

"What's wrong?" Miroku asked

"I donno, she wont tell me. Inuyasha can you drive me to the highway?"

"Yeah, c'mon"

"Can I trust you guys to not kill anything?" she asked the rest of the group playfully.

"Just go, something might be up" Sango reminded her.

ФФΩΦΨ 6;©Î­Ï‰Ñ‰ÑˆÑ‡ 9;†Î¾Î¾

Kagome sat in her car thinking. She realized how lonely she was in the world. No one to love her the way she wanted to be loved, no one to care for her, no one to protect her. She's lonely, she knew it, and that scared her.

All the barriers she carefully built around herself, all of them crumbled at that realization. She was, what you would call, vulnerable at the moment. And she hated it. Yet, there was nothing she could do about it. She did this to herself. She was alone in the world and there was nothing she could do about it. That freaked her out even more. She was scared out of her mind, she couldn't drive, she needed to go back, or go home, she couldn't do either of those, so she did the only thing she could do; call Aya.

After the phone call, Kagome sat in the car, hugging her legs to her chest, she hated how she sounded just now, she felt like a lost puppy, waiting for its master to come and find it, hoping beyond hope that its master wouldn't abandon it.

She had every right to feel the way she did, didn't she? All she could do now was wallow in her own self-pity; no one would help her. She had dug her own grave, and she even made sure it was deeper than six feet, so now she was lying in it. Watching as they covered the hole trapping her in the deeper recesses of her mind.

A dark blue, almost black Ford drove up. Ayame jumped out before the vehicle even pulled to a complete stop. She ran over to the driver's window of the car that as unmistakably her cousin's. The sound of `Last Train Home' by the lost prophets filtering through the air, as a thunderclap roared through the air.

She flung open the car door after seeing that her cousin was making no move to acknowledge her.

"Kagome! Kagome what's wrong?" she asked franticly, patting said cousin's shoulder, lifting her head, trying to get any response from her. In her attempts she accidentally changed the song on the CD that was playing. `Loosing Grip' by Avril Lavigne started playing.

Kagome lay there in the dark, watching as the last of the light disappeared from above her. She faintly heard shouting, but ignored it, thinking it wasn't for her. Then the shouting began to get louder and more frantic. Her arm began to tingle, and then it began to burn. She heard her name being called. What did it mean? She felt her skin tingling. Something was happening, she just didn't know what!

Ayame franticly called out to her, she was limp, out of it. She must have gotten too deep in thought or something, she wasn't responding! She tried everything, slapping her, squeezing her arm, yelling in her ears. Nothing worked. That's when she saw it, Kagome began to twitch, it was faint small movements, but a reaction nonetheless.

"That's it Kag, come one, wake up" she said.

Inuyasha watched this from by his truck; he didn't know what to do, so he left it up to Ayame. Sure he was scared for her well-being, but what the hell could he do? He began to hear groans and such from the unconscious girl hopefully she was ok.

The rain was pouring now, in steady sheets. It wasn't a drizzle, but it wasn't heavy either. It seemed to suit the mood just fine. Ayame held onto her cousin's shoulders. She had put on a hoodie before they came.

"Kag, what's wrong?" she asked

"Aya, I'm scared," she whispered, looking at her cousin through a new set of tears. The song changed to `I'm with you'

"About what? what's wrong?"

"I'm alone and- and" she started.

"And it scares you…" Inuyasha finished, coming up behind Ayame. He heard the starting of the conversation, and to him, one of the voices sounded too emotional, so he had come to see what was the matter.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome sniffed, wiping her eyes in her overly long sleeves.

"I asked him to bring me here" Ayame said.

"Kagome I have to tell you something" Inuyasha said. She looked away from him and said nothing, so he took that as a sign to continue. "Kikyo, she, she was behind this whole thing. She set those guys on you because she was jealous, and-she made me pick on you in the past, she was jealous of you then, because you kind of resemble her and she saw you as a threat. She still does. I didn't mean any of the things I said and I really am sorry for what I caused. I just want you to forgive me. I-I really like you Kagome and I'm willing to do anything to make it up to you." (*)

Kagome just stared and sniffed, did Inuyasha just apologize? For everything? Then pour his heart out to her????? She looked up at him standing in the rain, hair, clothes soaked, giving her a sincere look. She didn't know what to do. Granted she's never been in this kind of situation before. What should she do? Forgive him? Go out there and hug him? Kiss him? What?

Ayame, seeing the hesitation in her cousin's eyes, decided to help her a bit, because, she, more than anyone else, knows that Kagome has no clue what to do in this situation. Moving to the side a bit, she gave her cousin a small nudge, telling her to `go out there and get her man'

Kagome seemingly got the message. She got out of the car and approached him. He looked unsure of himself fighting a small inner battle. She looked up at him, lifted her arms up (a bit retardedly, but who cares, she doesn't really know what to do) and latched on to him. Hugging him like he was her lifeline, never wanting to let go.

He was taken by surprise by her sudden movement. He staggered back a bit, but regained his footing, hugging her petite frame in return. He smiled a bit, loving and committing to memory how she left in his arms, wet or not.

She pulled back a bit, and looked up in his face, "Thank you." she whispered to him, smiling slightly at him. His heart stopped, then restarted. He slowly leaned in and kissed her. She was shocked at the movement, but melted into him, still she didn't know what to do. She felt his tongue caressing her lower lip, coaxing her to follow his lead, within seconds there was a small battle for dominance going on.

"Sorry to break up this sweet little moment, but…we gotta go" Ayame reminded the couple. "Kag, I'll take your car, since I'm already in it, and I'm the only dry one."

"Ok" Kagome said, a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

Ayame jumped into the driver's seat of the car while Kagome and Inuyasha got into the truck.

Miroku, Sango and Kouga waited patiently for Kagome, Ayame and Inuyasha to return, the heavily falling rain outside was not helping much with their worries. They then heard the all too familiar blaring of Kagome's car stereo and ran to the door.

Kouga opened the door and ran out, not expecting all the water that had accumulated on the porch, to be on the porch, so he slipped, knocking Ayame, who had just ran on the porch, on top of him.

Both blushed when they realized their compromising position, and their audience, then bolted up and stood on either side of the porch. A drenched Kagome and Inuyasha ran up, Kagome in front, she immediately ran over to Ayame who was currently squeezing out her hair.

"So what happened?" Miroku asked his friend, who only smiled.

"I take it that she forgave you" Kouga said. Inuyasha nodded at this.

"Well, it looks like a storm is brewing, that thunderstorm decided to grace us with its presence" Ayame said thoughtfully, while looking up at the overcast sky. "So I guess your all bunking here tonight" she went inside.

"Oh well" Sango shrugged then went inside, the rest followed.

tbc…

there, new chapter.

(*) ok, I wrote that Inuyasha says that he really likes her because, he only really got to spend time with the girl for how long, a week at the most. Yeah I'm looking at my timeline, it was practically a week, all that time annoying her. So I don't really expect it to blossom into love so quickly. I mean how would you feel if you were in Kag's position, a guy you `hate' comes up to you and pours his heart out to you, telling you he loves you and wants to be with you, while when he was dating your look alike, told you you're a whore and all those kind of mean things. Wouldn't you think something's up? I know I would.

Ok those of you who think that the story will be coming to a close now that they've gotten together, well I just want you to know, I wont. Not yet anyways. I still have that battle of the bands thing. And now I have the huge obstacle of finding a way for that injured gurl to play her guitar, (cause god knows she cant with that cast on.) then I have some other stuff to do before I wrap up. So it's safe to say that this story would go on for another 10 chapters or so. Getting them together was just one obstacle to jump.

Well I think its safe to say, that's all I have to say for now. I hope you people actually decide to read these authors note thingies.

Until next time!…
