Heart Breaker Higurashi

Chapter Two

~*~

Inuyasha never really cared to date.

That is, after a painful break-up he had with his three-year girlfriend. He had flings, thanks to Miroku and Sango because they didn't want him to be lonely, but he never really 'dated' them. Also, after his break-up, he had never asked any girl out, which only proved that he had never really 'dated' in a while. His two friends just always set him up. After one day, he couldn't handle them and just never spoke to them again. It wasn't as if they minded. They hardly even knew him.

A strange thing happened though. He actually asked a girl out. Well... not entirely a date type of 'outing'... Just a show around the school, but he was still the one who asked her. Why did he ask her? He didn't really know his reason. Whatever it was about her, intrigued him. He was curious about her. Was she the one who left that guy crying like that in the morning? He couldn't understand it... but it was strange the way all the little, petty, insignificant signs were pointing towards a 'yes'.

He was very aware of the saying 'curiosity killed the cat', but just a little peek couldn't hurt anyone... right?

~*~

That night Kagome sat at the entrance stairs waiting for Inuyasha. She continuously checked her watch, waiting for the right moment to depart from this embarrassing scene. Either that ass was late or he just wanted to stand her up. She was somehow leaning more on the second option, for she had never thought very highly of men after that incident three years ago...

Yes. She hated men. That was made clear before, but if anything, if the boy was really late, she wouldn't want anything more than to kill him once he came. Men being late was just one of her top ten pet peeves. Especially if she just met them.

~*~

Thirty minutes. Thirty kami-forsaken minutes she waited under the dark sky just for him. Just for her plan to work. Just so that she could break his damn heart.

It wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth it. There were many other men who would gladly replace him.With this thought, she stood up and began to stalk away, towards her dorm building.

~*~

Well, what an idiot he had been. He was the one who set up the whole tour around the school with that freshman Kagome, but he completely forgot that he had a class that lasted up until seven thirty. Well, that didn't matter anymore now that he was running as fast as he could towards the entrance steps.

When he got there, he looked around and caught sight of Kagome's retreating back.

"Hey!" he called out, immediately catching her attention.

Kagome angrily swung her head around, her hair whipping around her, causing her to look so much like... Kikyou in the moonlight, to Inuyasha. He shook his head of such thoughts."What?!" she yelled out.

This slightly took Inuyasha aback. Geez, he just met the girl, she could at least be a little nicer. He knew he was late, but it wasn't as if she should have cared. They didn't even know each other. He held his patience though. He really wanted to understand why this girl intrigued him so much. He also wanted to know why after all the new freshman girls he had seen during the start of the day, she seemed to be the one most likely to make a guy cry the way that young man did... "I... Where are you going?"

"Back to my dorm," she replied harshly, turning around to walk away again. She didn't know exactly where she was going. She had no idea where the dorms were, but she needed to get out of there.

Inuyasha ran after her, and stopped directly in front. "Look, I'm sorry okay? My class delayed me. I should have asked you to come at eight... I just stupidly forgot that my class today lasted up until seven thirty." This should calm her down.

She was really a different type of girl. He had never met anyone so... un... submissive. After he explained his reason for being late, she snorted and began to walk away again.

"Look, I said that I was sorry. You could at least give me a nice parting sentence instead of acting like such a bitch!" he finally snapped.

Kagome slowly turned around after hearing this. Not once had a guy ever called her that. Not once... Not even after she blew them off like this. "Oh so you think I'm a bitch now do you?" she growled, preparing herself for an argument.

His patience ran long enough. "Yes. I do in fact. You see, I gave you a reason for being late, and it wasn't a lie either - I don't care if you beleive me with that fact or not, but - why couldn't you have just accepted that, and leave me with a nice parting note, or just say 'it's okay' and start the whole damn tour?"

Kagome took two steps up to match his glare as best she could with their contrasting heights. She smirked. She missed arguments. She hadn't had one in quite a while, and she usually always came out the victor. She wanted to see if she could still manage that, so she opened her mouth and began her argument. "Because I have a life, and if you think that I was just going to sit on my ass, waiting until you came, well your thinking the wrong thing buster!"

His golden eyes didn't flinch for a second as he began to argue back. "Yeah, but you waited for a pretty long time... Thirty minutes in fact, so I say that you're just contradicting yourself! You were just sitting on your damn ass waiting for me! Hell, it makes you look desperate!"

'Oh... Once again... He's good...' Kitsuke said.

Kagome's blood was boiling now. She had never lost in an argument before, and she didn't want to either, but what more could she say? He was right. She really never meant to wait for him for thirty minutes, but she was enjoying the sight of the sky. Where she lived before was too bright. It was as if every five feet, there was a lamp post. When she was standing out on the stairs, there was only one source of light, and it was more than two dozen feet away from her.

She never once ran out of arguments... but... Kami, she hated losing. It always reminded her of Bankotsu... She shook her head from this thought. No. He was gone. He made her into the wicked little monster she was, and she was proud of it... Not that she would ever thank him for it. She was just happy that she wasn't the one ending up heart broken.

The silence was strange. He would have thought she had something else to say...

Unless...

He won?

Normally, he would have loved rubbing it in the losers face so hard that even their great-great-grandchildren were afraid of lawyers, but he just met her. Besides, he wanted to figure her out, and there was no way he could do that if he acted like jerk-topia.

Well... she had no choice. She had to break this guy's heart. She would stay with him until he fell in love with her, then she would make him crumble into unrecognizable pieces for doing what he just did.

'He just won an argument that was already on his side Kagome, no need to get all mad ab-' Miyou tried to calm her down, but failed.

'Oh shut up! It would be all worth it to see him go insane from her heart breaking.' Kitsuke interrupted rudely.

The stormy-eyed girl did something unexpected. She bowed her head to face the ground and said in a low, apologizing tone, "I'm sorry." She had to admit that she never acted like that before, but it was her only way to redeem herself. She highly doubted that he was the type of guy to forgive her if she just kissed him. Well... some guys were like that she had to admit.

"Uhh..." he never expected this type of reaction from her. He never expected it from anyone. After what he said, she should have just stomped away, right after slapping him hard on the face. He didn't like uncomfortable silences though, and he knew that it would build up sooner or later if he didn't say anything. "Look, it's okay. How about we just forget this, and start the tour?"

Kagome forced herself to smile up at him gratefully. "It's just that I had a horrible day today. I really shouldn't have taken it out on you... I'm really sorry..." Lies. All lies... Oh but she was such a great little actress.

Inuyasha waved off her apology. "Forget about it... Do you still want the tour?"

She nodded her head, and followed him towards the school's opened concrete platform.

~*~

It had been half an hour and the silence and boredom was killing Kagome.

"I thought that this was supposed to be a tour?" she said, and her boredom was obvious in her tone.

Inuyasha gave her a curious stare. She was just acting nice thirty minutes ago, and now she was back to her 'bitchy' manner. What the hell was wrong her? "It is..." he growled. "If you were listening, then maybe you would have heard me talking about the whole history of that damn statue right there!"

Although she lost, Kagome's fighting spirit had not died. Some pride was lost, true, but it wasn't dead. Beware Inuyasha! "Well if you weren't so boring then maybe I just might have paid attention. Your worst than my ninth grade chemistry teacher!"

Great! Just great! She was ruining her chance once again, but with this guy... her famous façade was just slipping away, and that was not a good sign. This guy knew just how to push her buttons and he didn't even know her!

"Well you could have just said that instead of being tortured by my lectures," he retorted; obvious sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Oh, bug off boy! I told you I had a bad day. You're just making it worse!"

"You're making it worse for yourself! You started this argument you know!"

Once again...

There she was...

Stumped.

She stood with her mouth open to make a comeback, but nothing came out. He was right. Again. Oh how she hated it.

"Look, can you just take me back to my dorm now?" she asked impatiently.

"Fine!" he said, striding off ahead of her.

Kagome took off to follow, but then realized something, as she watched his retreating back. "Hey! You don't even know where it is!"

Inuyasha turned around. "Neither do you." He took a wild guess at this, but by the look on her face, it was apparent that it was true.

She hated losing... She would get him one day. "Yeah... True, but I think I'll remember it when I see it..." she said, forcing down her anger. Besides, she couldn't act like a stuck-up brat if he didn't refuse walking her back to her dorm. Why he agreed, she had no idea, but she had to admit that the gesture was nice... but she had been with so much guys who had done so much 'nice' favors for her that she thought she might just throw up.

"Okay. Well... Here are the dorms," he said, immediately pausing in front of a large green building with about fourteen floors. There were about five more buildings behind that.

Kagome looked confused. "These aren't it," she stated, looking around until she spotted something familiar. It was a cluster of pale, fushia-colored buildings. "Those. Those are it," she pointed.

Inuyasha followed her gaze and his eyes fell upon the girls' dormitory. There was barely anyone there though, and the ones who were there were usually forced to be there because the co-ed dormitories were all filled.

"You were one of the late students?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" she questioned, as the two began walking towards the buildings. "I was accepted early."

Inuyasha was slightly confused. "Then why are you stuck at the crummy all girls' dorm building?"

"I chose it. Why? Is it so hard to believe? And don't call it crummy either." With that said, she continued walking.

Now that was strange. She chose to be there? He mumbled an apology to her as they finally reached the door to where her dorm was.

Kagome waved it off, and stopped in front of him.

Okay.

Now the two were in a strange predicament. Kagome didn't know what to do, and neither did Inuyasha. The tour was a roller coaster of arguments, and they weren't sure how to end the night. When they fought, they felt as if they hated each other, but as it dwindled down, the fight just seemed petty, and Inuyasha felt a little happy that there was someone who he could argue with who didn't back down with a lame excuse.

"Um..." Kagome looked down at her feet. Never before had she acted like this with a guy, through the three years that she had been breaking hearts. She had always been in control of situations, but now she had no idea what to do. She already decided that this guy was her target, and she would not back down until his heart was broken by her, but she thought she had already screwed up the chances. By the looks of it though, she hadn't, and that was strange.

Suddenly, a thought came to mind for Inuyasha. "Hey, do you have any classes at around eight on Friday?"

She was shocked. Why was he still pursuing her? Shouldn't have he just ditched her and gone back to his dorm? Now she was completely dumbfounded. "Uhh... I... I don't think so..." she answered, sounding like a complete idiot.

He smiled at her. "Great! You see, my friends and I go to the club every Friday, and I thought that maybe you would like to join us?"

"I...umm... I... ah..."

'Do it Kagome! Don't blow this chance! How many has he given you anyway? Just don't blow it! You want to see him crying just as hard as Jinenji, don't you?' Kitsuke asked.

"I'd love to!" she looked up at him; her eyes, falsely glowing with happiness.

"Uhh... Well... I'll pick you up then. What's you're room number?"

Kagome took out a pen from a black bag that she was carrying with her, filled with her essentials: Keys, light make-up, and pepper spray. Not to mention that pen that she just used to write down her room number on his hand.

"Okay... cool. I'll see you then!" he said as he took off towards the co-ed dormitories.

~*~

Never had he met such an interesting girl. One minute, she's snarling and barking, the next, she's as gentle as a lamb. She even willingly wanted to stay at the girls' dorm. Why? He wanted to know her story. Maybe she almost got raped, or was raped, and she was afraid to live in a place with men?

That couldn't be the answer. She was with him - a stranger to her - at night, almost all alone, and she didn't seem at all nervous.

The last thing. He still wanted to know why she just seemed like the type of girl to leave a man crying a river like that, just that morning.

~*~

Never before had she ever met such a rude bastard before. Never before had she ever met someone so patient with her either. She knew that she was being just as rude, and she was the one who started the arguments... but... he didn't stomp off angrily like she would have expected many - if not all the men - would do. She had never seen that type of a reaction from a man before. Then again, she had never been rude in front of a man she was trying to break either.

She hated being confused. The only thing that she was certain of now was that she hated him.

She hated him so much...

But why?
