Chapter 6

I don't own Inuyasha

Kagome began to panic. 'Oh no, what should I do? Inuyasha is here and Ikuto is right outside!' Kagome bit her lip, trying to figure out what she should do. 'Don't panic Kagome.' Kagome ran to the bathroom to retrieve Inuyasha, but she went in quicker than what she realized. "Ahhhhhh!" Kagome turned her head and shut her eyes. "Inuyasha, get out of the shower!"

"What the heck are you doing in here anyway?"

Kagome blushed and handed Inuyasha a towel. "If we weren't inside my house, I'd sit you!"

Inuyasha felt the pull of his beads and was slammed into the bathroom tiles.

"Oh, that didn't really make a dent."

"What did I do? You walked in on me!" Inuyasha jumped back to his feet.

"Just hurry up and get out of here! I think it's time we go back to look for the jewel shards!"

"What's your hurry?" said Inuyasha suspiciously as he wrapped himself up with the towel.

"Nothing," she said innocently. "I just really, really would like to go back. Hurry up and get dressed. I'll be on my way in a few minutes." Kagome ran out of the bathroom to her room, and Ikuto was sitting on the bed.

"K-Kagome!"

Kagome gasped and quickly closed her door behind her. "H-h-hi!"

Ikuto stood up nervously. "Hi." He blushed. "I haven't seen you in a while. I mean...it hasn't been that long, but I wanted to check up on you." He returned to his normal face color. "Actually, I wanted to talk about what you said." He turned away from her. "Do you think we could go somewhere a bit more private?"

Kagome began to panic and grabbed his arm. "Sure, we can go anywhere you want. Just go to your car, and I'll be out there in a second. Just give me a little time." She opened her door, but then closed it quickly once she saw Inuyasha. 'My gosh! What am I going to do?'

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. "Let me in!"

"Who's that?" Ikuto asked.

"Uh...my brother's friend who comes here sometimes. He's such a pest. Lets go!" Kagome opened her window. "Lets go through here."

"But why?" Ikuto asked.

"I don't want to have to talk to Souta’s friend right now. I don't want him to catch me. We're...playing hide and go seek!"

"Aren't you kind of old for that game?"

She smiled. "Well, I play with my brother a lot. You know, you've got to treasure the times you share with them before you go away."

Ikuto wasn't an easy person to fool, but the thought of a sibling relationship actually working out for the better made him smile. "Well, I wouldn't know about that sort of thing."

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Sit." she said quietly. 'Man I hope there's not a giant dent in the floor.' "Lets go."

"What was that yell?"

"Don't want to get caught and find out!" 'Kagome, what are you thinking? Is this really worth all the trouble I'm going through now?' She heard Inuyasha growling from the other side of the door. 'Better safe than sorry.' "Never mind. I'll tell him that we're going to stop playing."

"Whatever." Ikuto knew Kagome was up to something, but wasn't quite sure what it was. It had to be the guy on the other side of the door. 'Nunuyasha or whoever must be on the other side. Souta told me that he and Kagome go places together. Maybe she doesn't want me to see him.' Ikuto growled and it sounded just like Inuyasha. 'Who is this Nunuyasha? He's not better than me!'

Kagome opened up her door and closed it quickly. Inuyasha was growling at her. Before he could open his mouth, Kagome placed her hand over his mouth. "Come here Inuyasha."

Inuyasha followed her until they were outside, but he immediately started yelling at her. "What's your problem? What did I do to you?"

"Look, I just want you to go back to your time. I'm going to be a little late, okay?"

"Kagome" said her mother while approaching her. "There's a young man here to see you, along with your friends."

Kagome began to blush. 'Oh no! My cover has been blown! Inuyasha's going to know about Ikuto!'

Inuyasha growled. "What? Is it that Iku-stu-pid guy?"

"No. He's already here" Kagome's mother said. "Hojo is here now."

Kagome began to twitch lightly. 'She just blew my cover!' "Inuyasha, go home now!"

"Why?" Inuyasha was steaming. He was angry enough to hurt someone. "This stupid Iku-pid guy is what you've been jumpy about, isn't it?" Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "I want to see this guy. I'll take him."

"You're not taking him anywhere! Leave him alone! He's just a human, Inuyasha, and if you do anything to him, I swear I'll say the sit so many times that you'll-" Kagome didn't finish her sentence since Inuyasha was already pinned to the ground. "Sorry Inuyasha. That was an accident." She smiled. "Besides, I don't feel like explaining to my friends why you have fangs and claws. Please go, and I'll be there in 30 minutes, or I won't come back home for a whole month!"

Inuyasha wanted to deny her, but the offer was too tempting. He needed her to stay with him in his time. "Okay, but next time you lie to me, I swear I'll-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just go already!" Kagome started pushing him, but then he just left with his own free will. He would get her good once she got back to his time. He would show her a thing or two.

What Kagome didn't know was that Ikuto was watching her from her window and saw Inuyasha. He didn't notice his strange ears, claws, or fangs, but he did notice he had long silver hair. 'Strange.'

"Hi Kagome!" yelled Eri, Arimi, Yuka, and Hojo in unison.

Kagome waved back with a sweat drop on her forehead.

Hojo smiled and handed Kagome a pack of ice that he had in his hands. "This is to cool you...since you have a fever."

Kagome smiled. "Oh, well I feel much better now."

"You weren't at school today though."

"I just now got back up on my feet."

"Well," his smile grew wider "since you're feeling better, do you want to go out this weekend to see a movie?"

Eri ran in between Hojo and Kagome. "Of course she'll go."

Yuka did the same. "She'd love too."

"Yeah" said Arimi.

"Wait! Uh..." Kagome blushed "I'm kind of going to be busy this weekend."

"Oh" Hojo didn't sound very disappointed. "Maybe some other time though." He kept his smile as he walked away.

Eri, Arimi, and Yuka immediately jumped down her throat. "What are you thinking?"

Eri placed her hands on her hips. "Are you still hung up over that jealous creep? Or is it the guy who asked you to have his children? Or maybe it's the guy that declared his love to you?" Eri was waiting for an answer, but blurted out "It doesn't matter! Hojo is a nice, good guy. You two should go out!"

Arimi sighed. "But the guys who she likes sound really romantic!"

Eri and Yuka gave Arimi death stares. Yuka said "Hojo is more your type!"

Kagome got angry. "How do you guys know what my type is? You guys haven't even met Inuyasha! Besides, it's not him that came up!" Kagome quieted down and blushed. "There's this other guy, and he wants to talk to me, so you guys should go."

The three of them were highly insulted. "Who is this guy then?"

"Ikuto Kazasami" Ikuto said as he walked up to Kagome with a smile on his face.

"Kazasami!" The three girls got excited and began yelling. Eri shouted "Kagome accepts your wedding proposal!"

Ikuto blushed. "I didn't propose."

"Can we have some privacy?" Kagome grabbed Ikuto's arm and walked off towards the tree of ages. "I'm really sorry" she stated. "They like to stick there noses into my love life." She blushed. "Not that I have a love life!"

Ikuto smiled. "You could have told me about Inuyasha, Kagome."

"Well, I didn't want you to freak out."

"Well, don't get me wrong. I do find it strange and unusual, but you didn't have to sneak around because of it." He shrugged his shoulders. "It's not a big deal."

"Wow." Kagome said. "I thought you would have a really big problem with it."

"I have a problem with the concept of him, but I can't hate a guy I've never met just because of how he is."

Kagome smiled. "I'm really impressed with you. Most people I know would freak out because of this. I really appreciate you, Ikuto."

There was a long silence between the two. Kagome couldn't believe he was so understanding about the situation. 'He's such a nice guy. I beat he's got a tough side though, one that's not going to be easy to get through.'

"Doesn't this place seem familiar?" Ikuto asked while looking at the sacred tree. "It's killing me! It's like I've been here before, but I can't remember how."

She smiled. "I...sometimes feel like this place...this tree has been here for me. This place is special to me." 'This is where I first met Inuyasha. This place will always be in my heart.'

"I don't know" Ikuto stated. "This place is kind of giving me the chills. I've got a bad feeling."

A sweat drop appeared on Kagome's face. 'My former self pinned your former self up to this very tree. I guess I can't blame you for hating it.' "I've got to go" Kagome said as if sad. "I've got to meet Inuyasha."

Ikuto sighed. "Kagome" he said seriously "about Inuyasha...he's what I think he is, isn't he?"

Kagome nodded. "Don't tell anyone."

Ikuto agreed uncomfortably. "Sure Kagome. I'll do whatever you want." He began to walk away, but then said "If you're not super busy all the time Kagome, do you want to come over my house sometime?"

Kagome blushed. "You mean like a date?"

"No!" He said with a slight growl in his voice that made him seem like Inuyasha even more. "I'm not saying that I want to be your boyfriend or anything" he said with a blush. "I just want to get to know you a little better." He smiled. "You're a nice girl Kagome, and I want someone to talk to sometimes."

Kagome hesitated. 'Poor guy.' "Sure Ikuto that would be nice." Just before Ikuto walked away, Kagome stopped him with the sound of her voice "You've met my friends, so when can I meet yours?"

Ikuto hesitated, not knowing what to say exactly. "Uh, I don't really have any besides you Kagome." He placed a tough guy expression on his face. "But I'm fine. It's not like I need anybody but myself. I can handle."

'Inuyasha didn't have any friends. He was alone after his mother passed away. Then Kikyou came along and changed his world for the better.' Kagome's heart sank. She always felt miserable when she thought about Inuyasha and Kikyou, especially when she thought about the time she saw them embracing each other with a kiss. 'Now Ikuto is the same, I suppose. Am I supposed to help him?' She looked as if she were about to cry. "Am I supposed to be with Ikuto?' She shook her head. 'But I...I love Inuyasha.'

"Kagome," Ikuto said "you don't have to be all sad on my account. I said I was alright."

Kagome wiped her eyes before any tears formed. "Oh, it's not you. I was just thinking about something else. I'm really alright."

Ikuto cocked an eyebrow. "If you say so." He smiled. "Cheer up Kagome. I don't like to see you upset." His eyes softened. "It just breaks something. You know?"

Kagome blushed. 'He cares about me. He cares about me so much.'

Ikuto said nothing more and left, with Yuka, Arimi, and Eri smiling at him. "Kagome, he's the guy for you!" They all said.

Kagome blushed. "I don't..." She scratched her head. "I've got to go guys."

Yuka grunted. "Are you kidding me? You meet this guy the day you almost get crushed by a truck, and then after that, you don't come back to school! What's up Kagome?"

"I'll explain later, guys. Right now, I just have to really go right now. I'm expected to be somewhere."

The three of them got offended, but said their goodbyes anyway. Kagome was happy that she got rid of her friends. She was sad to see Ikuto go. 'But why? Why am I sad? I can't be with him. I don't love him. I love Inuyasha. But...' Ikuto's smiling face came to her mind. 'But maybe I do love him. Every time I'm near him, my heart starts beating faster and a smile just rushes to my face.' She ran her hands through her hair. "Oh, what am I supposed to do?!"
