Chapter 12: Clumsiness Isn't Always Bad, Unless You Fall on Some Glass!

 

Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha, who was lying in a hospital bed sleeping. She felt tears come to her eyes, but she wiped them away quickly. Kagome and Souta were going to be taken away by the cops again. They were going to put them in a different foster home. The couple seemed very nice, but so did Kenji and Nameo.

 

Kagome didn't want to leave Inuyasha. They had so much fun together. She just wanted to stay with him.

 

Inuyasha woke up and looked around the white room. A stinging pain shot up his side and he groaned. Kagome's head snapped up to look at his and she smiled to see he was awake.

 

“How are you feeling?” Kagome asked.

 

“I've had better days,” Inuyasha smirked at her.

 

“I'm sorry this happened to you Inuyasha,” Kagome said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

 

“It's nothing. Just a scratch. All I needed was a couple of stitches,” Inuyasha said sitting up.

 

“You got hurt because of me though,” Kagome sobbed.

 

“That's no reason to cry. I'll get better,” Inuyasha said.

 

“That's not why I'm crying. I'm leaving Inuyasha. I'm going with another foster family. They'll be here in a couple minutes I think,” Kagome said wiping her tears away.

 

“What?! No! You aren't going anywhere!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

“I have to! They already signed the papers and everything. Kenji and Nameo are going to jail. They examined me and I showed them the scars on my wrists from when the guy tied me up, so the cops got another family for me and Souta,” Kagome said.

 

“No, you need to stay with me!” Inuyasha said grabbing her hand.

 

“Please don't Inuyasha. This is hard enough as it is,” Kagome said pulling her hand away.

 

“I'm sorry, I'm just going to miss you and the little guy,” Inuyasha said not looking at her.

 

“I wish I could stay Inuyasha. I better go before I start crying again,” Kagome said.

 

“Have a nice life,” Inuyasha stated.

 

“You too,” Kagome said and left the room.

 

“Why do I feel like shit?” Inuyasha asked himself and ran a hand through his hair.

 

Kagome leaned against the closed door and shook her head. She won't cry. Not now. Souta walked up to her and said, “They are here sis.”

 

“Okay, let's get going,” Kagome said grabbing Souta's hand.

“Kagome, are you alright sweetheart?” Kagome's new foster mother, Yumi asked.

 

“Yeah, I just…It's nothing,” Kagome said.

 

“Okay, when you're ready to talk I'm here,” Yumi smiled.

 

“Don't worry about us, we won't do what those other people did to you,” the foster father, Satoshi said.

 

“I know. It's just a little hard for me to trust people after that incident,” Kagome stated.

 

“It's alright. Take your time. Meanwhile we'll enroll you into a college and Souta will get back to school soon,” Yumi said.

 

“You don't have to put me through college. I know it's expensive,” Kagome said.

 

“We want to make sure you have the best education possible,” Satoshi said.

 

“Thank you. I think I'm going to go to bed now,” Kagome said.

 

“Me too,” Souta said and followed Kagome to their room. They had to share a room, but they had separate beds and closets. It wasn't bad. They liked staying close to each other.

 

“Kagome, what's wrong?” Souta asked as they got into bed.

 

“I just miss Inuyasha. That's all,” Kagome said.

 

“I miss him too. Do you think we could go visit him some time?” Souta asked.

 

“I don't think so Souta,” Kagome said turning off the lamp.

 

“Okay,” Souta said and stopped talking so he could go to sleep. Kagome stared up into the darkness for a while before falling asleep as well.

 

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;…………………....

 

It had been two months since Kagome and Souta moved in with Yumi and Satoshi. They had been really kind to them and Kagome and Souta starting going to school again. Kagome went to college and Souta was in 5th grade.

 

Kagome walked on to the campus of her university and sighed. Another day without Inuyasha. She would always pretend that everything was okay, but on the inside her heart was broken. Why did it hurt so much? It's not like she loved him. Maybe she did, but even if she did it was just beginning to turn into love. She was madly head over heels for him, right?

 

“Stop thinking about him!” she scolded herself.

 

“Kagome? Is that you?” a familiar voice called out from behind Kagome.

 

Kagome turned and saw Sango walking towards her with Miroku following. “Hi guys! What are you doing here?” Kagome asked.

 

“We attend school here. I didn't know you did to!” Sango smiled.

 

“Yeah I just started. So how have you guys been?” Kagome asked.

 

“Good, we saw Inuyasha the other day,” Miroku stated.

 

Kagome's face lit up and asked, “How is he doing? Is he all the way healed yet?”

 

“Yeah, he's fine physically, but not mentally. He just hasn't been himself since you left,” Sango said.

 

“Really? I wish I could see him,” Kagome said.

 

“Why don't you?” Miroku asked.

 

“Because it was hard enough leaving him, I don't think I can do it twice,” Kagome sighed.

 

“Man you two are so much in love. It's sweet,” Sango smiled.

 

“What?! No way!” Kagome yelled blushing.

 

“It's pretty obvious. Especially whenever Inuyasha walks by your old room, he stops and stars at the empty bed,” Miroku said.

 

Kagome felt her heart speed up. “He really does that?” she asked.

 

“Yeah, he really misses you Kagome,” Sango added.

 

“Well maybe I can stop by and talk to him for a bit,” Kagome said.

 

“I think you should do that. It will cheer the guy up for a second,” Miroku smiled.

 

“Okay, I'll go after my class,” Kagome said.

 

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;……………………

 

Kagome looked up at the familiar house in front of her. He was inside. He was only steps away from her grasp. She began to make her way up the driveway, but stopped halfway. She couldn't do it. She would just cause him more pain than before. What was she thinking coming here?

 

The door began to open and Inuyasha came into view. Kagome's eyes widened and she did the first thing that came to her mind. She ran. She ran as fast as she could away from that house.

 

“Kagome!!!” She heard him yell. She could fell him running after her. She didn't know how, but she knew he was right behind her. She tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. She skidded to a stop on the rough concrete and rolled over on her back. The palms of her hands were stripped of its skin, while her right knee was scraped and her whole left leg had a long cut going up the calf. She saw a piece of bloody glass on the sidewalk and she picked it up and threw it.

 

Inuyasha stopped and knelt down beside her. “Are you alright? What am I saying, of course you aren't alright!” Inuyasha said.

 

Kagome looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “I missed you so much Inuyasha! I know it's only been a couple of months, but it felt like an eternity to me,” Kagome cried and hugged him.

 

“I missed you too Kagome,” Inuyasha said and hugged her back. He breathed in her scent and sighed. He didn't realize how much he missed her until this very moment. He hooked one arm under her knees and the other arm around the small of her back. He picked her up and carried her back to his house.

 

Kagome dug her face into Inuyasha's shoulder as he carried her, trying to forget the pain that was pulsing through her. “I'm sorry Inuyasha. I'm sorry I ran, I just didn't think I was ready to see you again,” she whispered.

 

“It's okay, I understand. How are the new parents treating you? Better than me?” he asked smiling.

 

“Of course! They don't make me cook everyday, like someone I know,” she joked.

 

“Well I enjoyed your cooking so that's why I made you cook everyday,” he said.

 

“Good cover, you were just lazy,” she said.

 

Inuyasha carried her into the house and into the living room. He laid her on the couch and went to get the first aid kit. When he returned he patched her up and said, “You are really clumsy aren't you?”

 

“Haha very funny! I'd have one less cut if people didn't throw broken glass on the street,” Kagome said.

 

“Well you aren't walking anywhere with that leg, so just call you're parents and tell them you are staying here,” Inuyasha said handing her the phone.

 

“But I have to go! I have another class and then I have to go home,” Kagome said.

 

“You're sick, so act like it. I'm here to take care of you now call your parents or I will,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Fine,” she said and dialed the number. After explaining everything she told her foster parents that she would be staying at Inuyasha's house for the night and would be back for tomorrow. They said it was fine and to be careful.

 

“There, I called them,” Kagome said throwing the phone at Inuyasha.

 

“Thank you very much, bitch,” Inuyasha smirked.

 

“Again with the bitch?” she asked.

 

“Take it as a compliment,” he stated.

 

“Sango said that I was worthy of being your something…What was that something?” she asked.

 

“My mate. When a dog demon calls a girl a bitch, it means she is worthy of becoming his mate,” he explained.

 

“So does that mean you love me?” she asked in a teasing manner.

 

“Yeah, sure, like I could love you,” he joked.

 

“You know you love me! You love me!” she sang while smiling.

 

“What if I do?” he asked seriously.

 

Kagome didn't know what to say to that. What he really serious or pretending to be serious? She had never been so confused in her life.

 

“I'm only kidding,” he lied, seeing how freaked out she became.

 

“Whew! I thought you were serious for a second!” she laughed.

 

“Yeah, me too,” he whispered to himself.

 

“What was that?” she asked.

 

“Nothing, now just relax and watch TV or something,” he suggested.

 

“I might just do that,” she said.
