A Girl’s Secret
Wednesday September 12th
7:15am.
~~Kagome’s POV~~~
I sat up in my bed groggy. I glanced at my alarm clock that was supposed to be on my bed-side dresser but it wasn’t. I sighed and looked down on the floor.
“There you are.” I said smiling weary. I picked it up and looked at the clock and gasped, “AGHHH, 7:15, I’M LATE.” I screamed as I jumped out of bed. I ran my dresser and started to pull clothes out. “WHY DIDN’T ANYONE WAKE ME?”
“You’re finally up Sis?” my annoying little eleven year brother asked me, opening my room door.
“Why didn’t you wake me up Souta?” I asked him rushing to the bathroom.
“I tried, TWEVLVE TIMES.” He answered; I just shut the bathroom door.
In speed that I perfected in all my years, I showered, changed clothes, brushed and combed my hair, choosing to leave it out, got my school stuff together and ran downstairs, all by seven thirty.
“Breakfast Kagome?” My mother asked me as I ran past the kitchen.
“No time Mom, I’m late Sango’s going to be mad again.”
“At least have some toast.” I sighed and knew she wasn’t going to let me leave the house without eating something. Luckily there was some bread in the toaster already, when it popped up I grabbed it and ran towards the door.
“HEY THAT WAS MINE.” Souta screamed out to me.
“Love ya too, brat.” I answered shutting the front door behind me. I ran all the way down the street to the end of the block where Sango lived. I almost tripped over my own feet, sad to say. I knew I should have worn sneakers today. I made it to her driveway where she was leaning against her car; I mean pride and joy, door.
“There you are Kagome.” She said getting in. I smiled sheepishly getting the passenger side. “Maybe I should start calling you in the mornings to make sure you’re up. You’re just as bad as my brother.”
“I would say go for it, if we knew it would work.” I sighed resting for the first time since I woke up. She pulled up and we were off. “We still have to pick up Miroku?” I asked.
“Yea, with the Pervert’s car in the shop, this is the only way he’ll make it to school on time.” She said going down Miroku’s street. He was waiting on the sidewalk in front of his house. We pulled aside him and he got in the back.
“I thought you weren’t going to make it.” Miroku said as we took off again.
“Sorry sorry, my fault, I’m so not a morning person.”
“That’s an understatement of the year.” Sango laughed. I stuck my tongue out at her and turned on the radio.
“So, can one of you dear ladies explain to me why we have to go to school an hour early?” Miroku asked.
“Me and Kagome have a class office meeting, this morning at eight, that’s why we have to be there. You’re here because you’re lazy ass don’t want to take a bus.”
“My lovely Sango, when you’re use to riding to school in a car everyday a bus seems so, lowly.” Miroku said with a serious look on his face. I busted out laughing at him; Miroku was too funny for words.
“It’s not like you’re too good to ride the bus, Miroku, in fact the bus is too good for you.”
“You’re harsh words bruise me Sango my love.”
“Can it Lover Boy.” Sango answered, “So what’s the discussion about this time Kags?”
“Well,” I said pulling out the Presidential notebook for class, yeah I was the vice president, and Sango was the president. I opened the book. “Chella Mackey, the Treasurer, called me last night. She checked in with secretary and got his okay about discussing the Senior Dues.”
“And why did she need to check in with Greg?” Sango asked, turning in the school’s parking lot looking for a spot in the front.
“To make sure that there was nothing else important to discuss. Any way she wants to make sure that we discussed on how we were making sure everyone got their dues in so we can have a Junior Prom and Prom next year. She even emailed me a list on those who haven’t started making payments at all, I printed it out. It’s a short list bout ten.”
“Who’s on it?” Sango asked finally parking and turning off the car. We got out as I read off the names, but stopping at the last. She however noticed.
“Who’s the last Kagome?”
“Taisho Inuyasha.” I answered, I sighed, and here we go again.
“I knew his ignorant ass was on that fucking list.”
“It’s not that big of a deal. Sang,” I said taking up my spot as protector of Inuyasha from Sango rage. “And besides maybe he has financial problems, like Linda Sale, she’s on the list and has financial problems.
“Financial problems my ass, he fucking works, Kagome, works a damn lot too.”
“What where?” this was news to me. I prided myself on finding out new info on Inuyasha, and this was something I never heard before.
“KFC,” Miroku answered stepping between the Sango and me and grabbing her hand, “I go there with some friends some times and he always working. He’s even a manager there.”
“There you see what reasons his ass has of not paying his dues? It’s not like he have to pay the monthly rent.” She said.
“You don’t know his home life, just like the rest of us. We don’t know what he does.”
“Maybe it would be wise to not expect him to pay. He most likely not even goes to the events, so no use in wasting a good yelling moment on him.” Miroku said then squeezed her shoulder.
“Let’s just go and get this over with.” Sango said, she kissed the pervert good bye, grabbed my arm and we both ran towards the library where the meeting was being held.
*********************
The meeting wasn’t too long; we decided to just write a notice about paying the dues would hand them to all juniors at lunch. That would be done by Friday. We talked about the junior prom finding out that we had enough for one, though it would be in school in the gym, but only be we wanted to save our money for senior prom and Senior Trip.
We were out before classes start so me and Sango hopped in her car, drove to Burger King and bought ourselves a breakfast meal. We rushed back to class, eating our stuff on the way and then rushed to our Geometry, seeing how we were five minutes late.
We were laughing when we entered the classroom but got quiet when Mr. Grant glared at us and scolded us for being late. We apologized and went to our seats. I stopped before seating down and looked at the empty seat by the window and to my left. It was the second day that the seat’s owner wasn’t there, the second-
“Kagome is there a reason you haven’t taken your seat?” Mr. Grant asked him. I turned and looked at him. I shook my head and sat down; I however turned my gaze back to Inuyasha’s empty seat.
I was worried about him, he told me Monday that as long as he comes to school he’s fine, but he hasn’t been here for two days. That meant he’s not fine. I’m really worried. I don’t know what to do, should I tell some one-
“Stop it Kagome. What the fuck do you think this is? This is not some project that you can work at it, hoping to succeed. There is much more to lose to this than you think.”
That’s what he said. He told me to stay out of it but how can I? I care too much about him.
That’s my secret, I am in love with Inuyasha Taisho, and no one knows but my best friends Sango and Miroku. Sango of course don’t approve, she say’s he’s not good enough for me, he’s too dangerous and he’s a play boy. Miroku just always tell me to be careful around him and to have someone around when I’m around him.
I know they are just looking out for me, but they can’t stop this. I love him and I want to tell him but I can’t. I’m too afraid he’ll reject me. He already rejected my friendship and pretty much told me to stay the fuck out of his life. I know a relationship is asking too much, but I can’t help but desire it.
I’ve always had a crush on Inuyasha, since I first saw those violet eyes on him, I love looking into his eyes.
A lot of people don’t know Inuyasha but I do. I remember a time long ago when I was friends, best friends with him, course we were five but still. I don’t remember much of that time but what I do remember was that he was there protecting me and always there to make me laugh and being with me. My mother knows what I’m talking about; she tells me stories sometimes from when we were kids.
We were the best of friends, but then when we were six something happened to him and his brother Sesshomaru and he seemed to forget about me. I’m not talking about ignoring me forgetting me but can’t remember me. His brother told me he had an accident on the stairs in his house and lost some of his memory. It seems I was part of his memory that got lost. And the worst part of it all, it was around his sixth birthday.
~~~***Flashback***~~~
Normal POV
“Ms. Katey.” A five year old Kagome walked up to her kindergarten teacher and patted her leg trying to get her attention.
“What is it Kagome?” Ms. Katey said bending down to the young girl’s level
“I-I finished wit my get-well-soon card for Yashy.” The small girl said holding her card up. The cover had two small people on it both with long black hair drawn on it, it was the best ability that a five year old can do.
The class was making Get-Well-Soon cards for Inuyasha after hearing about his accident this past weekend.
“Kagome, this is very pretty. I think Inuyasha will like it very much.” The little girl beamed at this and then frowned.
“Can you help me wit the spelling.”
“OF course, come one.” The Teacher stood up and they walked to Kagome’s desk where there was another card.
“Another one Kagome?”
“Kind of, his one is for his birthday today.” Kagome smiled.
“Yep, and since he’s coming back tomorrow we’ll throw him a surprise party.”
“Really?” Kagome asked excited and jumping up and down in her seat.
“Yes, but it’s a surprise for everyone. Can you keep a secret?”
“YES.” Kagome screamed, but then covered her mouth and looked around hoping no one heard her. After being satisfied that no one did she leaned in to her teacher “I promise, I’ll tell no one.” Whispered but still squirmed in her chair from excitement.
Everyone in the classroom was working on the cards when a knock came on the classroom door unexpectedly. The door opened and someone that no one expected to see poked his head in.
“Ms. Katey?” said a young teenage boy opening the door more.
“Sess-Sesshomaru,” Ms. Katey asked walking to the door, “I wasn’t expecting to see you till tomorrow.”
“Can I speak to you in the hall?” The boy asked the teacher in a low voice. Ms. Katey sensed something wrong and nodded.
“Everyone, I’m going to talk to Inuyasha’s brother, I’ll be outside, if you need me.” She said and walked out the hall but leaving the door opened a crack to listen out for her class.
“What do you think it is?” A small girl named Stacey asked Kagome.
“Maybe Inu’s come back.” An excited Kagome whispered.
“Not five minutes later, the door opened again and in came three people, Ms. Katey, a thirteen year old Sesshomaru and a just turned six year old Inuyasha.
The class immediately started yelling out hellos and how are you Inuyasha to the boy, who didn’t reply. Kagome however didn’t say anything, she was looking over the boy who was her best friends threw out the year. He didn’t look like him self. He looked scared and nervous she never knew Inuyasha to be the shy type. He was always loud and often acted mean to everyone.
Along with that his arm was in a cast, and his head had a bandage wrapped around it. He had a small scare over his cheek, and his hair which normally looked shiny now seemed string and dry. He looked sickly too.
“Everyone listen up.” Ms. Katey said quieting the class. “Go on Sesshomaru.”
“As you all may know, Inuyasha here had a little accident. He fell down some stairs and got hurt.” Sesshomaru started he put his hand softly on top of Inuyasha’s head knowing that it still hurt. “There is also something else I should mention. Inuyasha is suffering from amnesia, from when he hit his head.”
There was silence as if everyone was thinking about this, some students even gasped.
Suddenly one student raised their hand and the teacher called on the little boy. He asked what everyone else what thinking.
“What’s amnesia?” everyone else nodded in agreement to the question.
“Well Class amnesia is when a person hits their head very very hard and they loose some or all of their memory for either a while or very long time.
“Bu-but, Frankie, had hitted my head n I still gots my memory, I think.”
“Well, Frankie stop hitting Daphne on the head, now Daph, it’ll have to be something harder really hard.”
“Like falling down the steps like Inuyasha did?” another girl asked.
“Something of the sort, any other questions?”
One hand went up, others followed but the teacher smiled at Kagome who had her hand up first.
“Go ahead Kagome.”
“Inuyasha,” Kagome asked staring at the timid boy. He looked at her and slightly tilted his head to the side. “Do you remember anything? Do you remember me?”
“Am I suppose to?” the confused boy asked, he looked up to his brother in question.
“Inuyasha, that’s Kagome, she’s your best friend.” Sesshomaru answered.
“Oh,” the boy turned back to Kagome who started to cry. “Hey, wait, don’t cry.” He walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. “I don’t like seeing you cry.”
“So you do remember me.” Kagome said smiling happily, she jumped up and wrapped her arms tightly around his chest. Unlucky for her she didn’t know about his wounds. He yelped out in pain and pushed Kagome off him. He backed away and wrapped his arms around himself, tears falling from his eyes.
“Inuyasha,” Sesshomaru said bending down to him. The teacher went up to Kagome who feel after Kagome pushed him.
“Are you alright Kagome?” Kagome nodded and looked up at Inuyasha who was bending holding himself.
“I’m sorry if I hurt you Inuyasha.” Kagome said standing up, she walked over to him and went to touch him but he just fell backwards to move away from her. He backed up to his brother and stood up. Kagome was hurt and started to cry.
“It’s okay, Kayame, do-don’t cry.” Inuyasha stood up, but Kagome stepped back.
“My name is Kagome KA-GO-ME.” She yelled whipping her tears away.
“You don’t have to yell.” Inuyasha yelled back. “Sess do I have to stay here I want to go home.”
“We already went over this Inuyasha, remember?” The young boy shook his head; the older one sighed then whispered something in his ear. The boy eyes widened and shook his head vigorously.
“Fine I’ll stay I’ll stay, don’t leave me wit them alone.”
“Them?” Ms. Katey asked.
“Uh monsters under the bed,” Sesshomaru answered with the first thing that popped out of his head, that sounded lame, he thought afterwards.
“I see.” Ms. Katey said. “Well, I have a class to run, I’m sure you have class to, right?”
“Yeah, right,” Sesshomaru answered standing up. “Behave Inuyasha; I’ll come pick you up after schools ended.”
“Promise,” A now scared Inuyasha asked. He didn’t know anyone and the one person he did know was leaving him.
“I promise.” Sesshomaru patted him on his head and then left the room. Ms. Katey ushered Inuyasha to his seat and announced it was drawing time, they had to draw their family.
“So, Yashy,” Kagome said working on her family. They sat next to each other.
“Huh?” Inuyasha asked the strange girl next to her.
“What do you remember?” She asked him. Inuyasha stopped drawing his brother and him and thought about the question.
“When do you mean? When I woked up or right now?”
“When you woked.”
“Nothing, I thinked I remembered my name, but that’s it. But after I spoked to Fluffy-I mean Sess, he don’t like me to call him Fluffy but I still do. He told me stuff and I remembered some of it. I think he told me my birthday is today.”
“It is, see I made you this card.” Kagome said giving Inuyasha his birthday card and his get-well soon card. He thanked her and put them in his desk, and started working on his family.
The two remained friends for a couple of weeks, and then Inuyasha met up with some little boys who befriended him and convinced him that all girls had cooties even Kagome. Inuyasha stopped being Kagome’s friend and soon his started growing more distant to everyone and forever fighting in school. He would show up sometimes bruised, and sometimes be out for days. Kagome and Inuyasha never became friends again and it seemed like he forgot about her. She always worried about him, but she could only watch from afar.
~~~***End Flashback***~~~
I was sitting at the lunch table surrounded by my friends, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Ayame, Hojo, Eri, Kristin, Kiesha, Darien, Greg, Dashawn, and a few others. We always sat at the lunch table together, talking and laughing about anything. I guess we were considered the popular group but I don’t really care for labels.
“I can’t stand Inuyasha.” Sango said which brought me back to the discussion. “He seriously thinks he owns this place.”
“Leave the boy alone, Sango, he ain’t here to defend himself against you, again.” Keisha and black said laughing.
“I don’t care if he’s here or not.” Sango said, “He isn’t going to do anything to me.”
“And if he tries, you got all of us here to back you up.” Kouga said making a muscle.
“I feel so relieved.” Sango said dryly, everyone but me laughed.
“I don’t know, you guys. I hear he took on five people at once. And you saw his scars.”
“I wouldn’t be surprise if Inu-turd did that shit himself, Hobo.” Kouga laughed. My hand curled into a fist, I hated when they talked about Inuyasha like that. He left them alone so why can’t they leave him alone.
“My name is Hojo not Hobo, Kouga.”
“Whatever, point is he wish he could beat me. I’ll run circles around him.”
“Didn’t you fight with him once,” Keisha asked, “and lost?” Everyone but, Kouga and me laughed.
“I told you, I was already tried because couch decided to drill us for gym class.” They laughed at his excuse; it changed every time it was brought up.
“Hold on, I thought you said you were sick the last time.” Dashawn laughed.
“And before that he said he wasn’t concentrating on the fight, he was thinking about something else.” Miroku laughed.
“Ahh shuddup,” Kouga growled crossing his arms.
“Yeah, leave him alone.” Ayame said coming to the rescue her off and on boyfriend, currently they were on.
“Besides, you guys, he won’t be alone fighting Taisho, I’ll be there. He needs to be knocked off his high horse.” Darien said he and Kouga pounded fist.
“I’ll be there with you guys,” Miroku added, “I still have something I want to repay.” Miroku then cracked his knuckles and nodded, the other two boys did the same.
I couldn’t stand it; I stood up and walked away without saying another word to them. I refuse to be around anyone who talked about beating up a guy I cared deeply for. I heard Sango calling my name but I didn’t reply to it. I walked quickly to the bathroom and leaned against the sink.
I hated this, why couldn’t they just leave Inuyasha alone. I have enough trouble trying to get on his nice side without my friends all conspiring against him.
“Kagome?” Sango said coming into the bathroom. I looked at her in the mirror and turned away. “Kags, why did you leave?”
“Why do you all have to always talk bad about him?” I asked instead. She sighed and leaned against the sink next to me. She didn’t say anything so I continued. “You know how I feel about him Sango; I just wish you would be more considerate to my feelings before you plan on jumping him.”
She sighed again and crossed her arms; she then surprised me with her response. “You’re right Kagome. I could be nicer about him. I should be more considerate to your feelings and I’m not. I’m sorry. It’s just that,” she turned to me and pushed hair behind her ear. “He’s dangerous and I’m only trying to look out for you. Why did you have to fall for the guy prone to fights and shit?”
“You don’t fucking know him, Sango.” I declared and turned to face her.
“I know fucking enough, I saw it too. Monday, he punched a hole in the fucking wall.”
“You provoked him.”
“You’re on his side now?” She yelled out.
“No, I’m on yours.” I yelled back.
“Then why doesn’t it feel like it Kags? I don’t like him, or his attitude. He thinks he’s too good for people and always fighting. Plus I heard he’s into drugs and shit.”
“You don’t even know him Sango.”
“Neither do you, and don’t you dare say you do, cause you didn’t even know where he worked until this morning.” Sango calmed down a bit before she continued. “I know you said you two used to be friends when you were little, and you said he use to be nice. Now I didn’t know him from back then, but from what you told me I can say he changed, for the worst. He’s not the same Inuyasha you knew and trusted.”
“You don’t know anything Sango.” I yelled, I was grateful that no one was in the bathroom at the time. “You don’t know what goes on in his life. How hard he has it.”
“And you do?” She yelled back.
“Yes, I do. In fact the two of us talked for a while on Monday actually.” I said folding my arms over my chest in defiance.
“Was this before or after I found the fucking guy screaming off at my best friend who was crying.”
“Sango-” I began angrily.
“Just listen to me.” She interrupted, “I don’t want to fight you over some boy. We’re both bigger than that.”
It was my turn to sigh, she was right. “You’re right. I just hate seeing you guys ganging up on him. He has enough trouble in his life without worrying about if a bunch a people from school is going to jump him.”
Tears started falling from my eyes before I could stop them. I thought about his parents beating him up rendering him unconscious or even worst. It didn’t help calm my thoughts that he haven’t been here for two days.
“Kagome?” she asked concerned and surrounding me in a hug.
“I’m so scared for him, that he may not be alive.”
“It’s that bad?”
“I wouldn’t wish what he goes through on my worst enemy.” I said hugging her tightly.
“What is it?”
“I can’t tell you, I promised. That’s why he was yelling at me, because I tried to get him to get some help. He said that I’ll end up killing him by trying to help him. He told me to stay out of it, but I can’t. The most I can do is hopefully getting some of you guys off his back here at school. So please-”
“Okay, okay. Just stop crying.” I smiled and wiped my tears away as she continued, “I’ll try and get the other guys to stop; we’ll stay out of his way. Shouldn’t be hard right? He barley talks to us so we’ll have nothing to say to him.”
“Thank you Sango, that’s all I ask.” I hugged her again.
“So you ready to go back to lunch, there still ten minutes left before we have to go to class.”
“Yeah,” the two of us linked arms and walked back to the lunchroom and our table. Everyone was talking about something or another.
“Do you think we’ll get to pick our own partners?” Ayame was saying as she clutched on to Kouga.
“Partners for what?” Sango and I asked in unison as we sat down.
“Hey, you okay Kags?” Keisha asked me. “You left madd quick.”
“I’m good, just on my monthly torture.” I lied.
“I gottcha,” Her and Kristen said.
“Don’t really want to hear about it Kagome.” Kouga spoke up.
“Then don’t listen.”
“Partners for what?” Sango asked again.
“Well, I heard that Mrs. Adams is pairing up with the home economics class and doing that life experience project. The one where you get assigned a husband or wife, give you a job, and give you a baby then grade you.” Kristen informed us. She worked in the main office and always knew what was going on with the school. She informed us with what she learned.
“Yeah, and I was wondering if we get to make our own partners or will they assign it for us.” Ayame finished.
“They’ll probably assign it for us, we won’t be that lucky.” I said and everyone nodded in agreement.
“It’s not fair, I mean don’t we pick our own husbands when we get married?” Sango argued.
“Like they care,” Eri added. “As long as they get their laughs in on us during this shit, they don’t care.”
“I know who I’d pick if I got to choose.” Kouga said and winked at me although he put his arm around Ayame. I shook my head. Kouga likes me, it’s a pain to say, for a while before Ayame showed up, he use to call me his woman. I hated it of course, I refused to date anyone owe tries to claim me like a prize. And one date with him is enough to drive anyone up the wall; I don’t know how Ayame stands it.
“I know who I would like to be with.” Hojo said smiling at me, and I cringed.
He liked me too, but he’s too boring. We dated a while back but that didn’t last, the guy is really really boring, plus he doesn’t even say my first name, always by my-
“Higurashi don’t you feel the same way?”
“Well Hojo, uh-yeah, I think I know who I would-uh want to do the project with.” I answered nervously. I would want to pick, Inuyasha, but would he let me, I thought as I put my elbow on the table and rested my head in my hand.
“I know who I would pick,” Started Miroku, we all groaned at what was going to happen next. He grasped Sango’s hands in his own and got on his knees. “Sango, would you grace me with the honor of being your husband and you bearing my child. We could do it the old fashion way. I don’t care how many times we must do it, I won’t give up, my lovely Sango.” Of course to top it off, one of his hands slipped down to rub her butt.
“PERVERT.” Sango screamed and slapped him hard which caused him to fall back on the floor.
“He’ll never learn.” Eri commented while the rest of us nodded in agreement.
“I still say Sango hit him so much he never thinks before he speaks anymore.” Darien added, we all agreed as we watched Miroku climb back to his seat rubbing his bruised cheek.
“Oh well, he’ll when he winds up in the hospital, the pervert.” Sango said wiping her hands off.
“When are they going to do this thing Kristen?” I asked.
“Dunno, no set date been made yet.” She answered. “All they know is-”
Kristen was interrupted by the bell meaning that lunch was over and class started in about ten minutes. We all stood up and gathered our lunch trays, then headed to our lockers then class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Anoth er boring day at school,” Sango said as we headed to our lockers to put stuff away. School was over and I was on my way to Sango’s house, she promised to help me with my math, I suck in math.
We said goodbye to everyone and left. We drove to Sango we’re spent a good four and a half hours doing math. We stopped just before eight o’clock, because I was lost and Sango’s parents asked her to go get something to eat. Sad to say I only understood some of it.
“I’m never going to get this stuff Sango.” I said as we walked to her car, we were going to get some food for her family, I was just going for the ride, and then she was going to drop me off at home.
“I’m sure you’ll get it, Kagome, you just have to find your method, do that and you’ll be good.”
“Easy for you to say, you found yours.”
“Don’t worry, I have faith in you.” We climbed in her car and turned up the radio, she drove us the KFC, there was a line but we didn’t mind. She went right to the drive-thru.
“Is this the one Inuyasha works at?” I asked. I’m not really a KFC person, I don’t eat here that much.
“Yeah, he was working window when me and Miroku say him.” She said driving up to the order machine. She ordered her family a family size meal and drove up.
“Do you think he’s working, now? I asked, wanting to get a glimpse of him to make sure he’s all right.
“I don’t know, I heard he sometimes be working during school hours. Maybe that’s not why he’s at work.” I smiled at Sango. She was trying her best not to insult Inuyasha, I can tell by her tight grip on the steering wheel.
“I’ll ask them.” We waited a couple of minutes until we had to pull up to the one window. Sango paid them and as they got our food together I asked the black girl at the window. “Excuse me Miss.”
“Yes.” The girl smiled down at us even though I can tell it was fake, hopefully it wasn’t anything personal.
“Is Inuyasha working tonight?” I asked hopefully of an answer. Her smile disappeared and she looked accusingly at us.
“Who wants to know?”
“My name is Kagome, I’m a friend of his and I’m worried. He hasn’t been to school since Monday. I would call him but I lost his number. I know he works here so-”
“You his girl or something?”
“No, but me and Yash are good friends.” I lied. I hoped I would get hell from him for doing this. She looked at me debating on whether to tell me anything or not, and I looked at her pleading.
“Ugh, he’s not here, didn’t even show up for work yesterday. He called two hours ago and said he had a little accident, but he should be fine. He’ll probably be in school tomorrow.”
I felt a lump grow in my throat as I unbuckled my seat belt and climbed over a surprised Sango. “Is he okay? Is he hurt? What accident? Can he walk, do he remember his name?” I started shooting questions off by the dozen. The girl waved me quiet.
“Wait a second, wait. All he said was he tripped on some stairs and some junk and he should be fine. Question him tomorrow, if he doesn’t go to school, he’ll be working here after.” She handed us our food which I took back and moved back to my seat. Sango thanked her and we drove off. I sat in my seat wrecking my brain about what type of condition Inuyasha could be in.
“I’m sure he’s fine, he just fell down the stairs that all.” Said Sango after sensing my distress, I only scoffed at this as I wondered what his parents did to him this time. I muttered thanks and goodbye when Sango dropped me off. I ran up to my room and buried my face in the pillows.
“Inuyasha, how am I going to get you out of there?” I asked out loud, I laid there till I fell asleep.

A Girl’s Secret
Wednesday September 12th
7:15am.
~~Kagome’s POV~~~
I sat up in my bed groggy. I glanced at my alarm clock that was supposed to be on my bed-side dresser but it wasn’t. I sighed and looked down on the floor.
“There you are.” I said smiling weary. I picked it up and looked at the clock and gasped, “AGHHH, 7:15, I’M LATE.” I screamed as I jumped out of bed. I ran my dresser and started to pull clothes out. “WHY DIDN’T ANYONE WAKE ME?”
“You’re finally up Sis?” my annoying little eleven year brother asked me, opening my room door.
“Why didn’t you wake me up Souta?” I asked him rushing to the bathroom.
“I tried, TWEVLVE TIMES.” He answered; I just shut the bathroom door.
In speed that I perfected in all my years, I showered, changed clothes, brushed and combed my hair, choosing to leave it out, got my school stuff together and ran downstairs, all by seven thirty.
“Breakfast Kagome?” My mother asked me as I ran past the kitchen.
“No time Mom, I’m late Sango’s going to be mad again.”
“At least have some toast.” I sighed and knew she wasn’t going to let me leave the house without eating something. Luckily there was some bread in the toaster already, when it popped up I grabbed it and ran towards the door.
“HEY THAT WAS MINE.” Souta screamed out to me.
“Love ya too, brat.” I answered shutting the front door behind me. I ran all the way down the street to the end of the block where Sango lived. I almost tripped over my own feet, sad to say. I knew I should have worn sneakers today. I made it to her driveway where she was leaning against her car; I mean pride and joy, door.
“There you are Kagome.” She said getting in. I smiled sheepishly getting the passenger side. “Maybe I should start calling you in the mornings to make sure you’re up. You’re just as bad as my brother.”
“I would say go for it, if we knew it would work.” I sighed resting for the first time since I woke up. She pulled up and we were off. “We still have to pick up Miroku?” I asked.
“Yea, with the Pervert’s car in the shop, this is the only way he’ll make it to school on time.” She said going down Miroku’s street. He was waiting on the sidewalk in front of his house. We pulled aside him and he got in the back.
“I thought you weren’t going to make it.” Miroku said as we took off again.
“Sorry sorry, my fault, I’m so not a morning person.”
“That’s an understatement of the year.” Sango laughed. I stuck my tongue out at her and turned on the radio.
“So, can one of you dear ladies explain to me why we have to go to school an hour early?” Miroku asked.
“Me and Kagome have a class office meeting, this morning at eight, that’s why we have to be there. You’re here because you’re lazy ass don’t want to take a bus.”
“My lovely Sango, when you’re use to riding to school in a car everyday a bus seems so, lowly.” Miroku said with a serious look on his face. I busted out laughing at him; Miroku was too funny for words.
“It’s not like you’re too good to ride the bus, Miroku, in fact the bus is too good for you.”
“You’re harsh words bruise me Sango my love.”
“Can it Lover Boy.” Sango answered, “So what’s the discussion about this time Kags?”
“Well,” I said pulling out the Presidential notebook for class, yeah I was the vice president, and Sango was the president. I opened the book. “Chella Mackey, the Treasurer, called me last night. She checked in with secretary and got his okay about discussing the Senior Dues.”
“And why did she need to check in with Greg?” Sango asked, turning in the school’s parking lot looking for a spot in the front.
“To make sure that there was nothing else important to discuss. Any way she wants to make sure that we discussed on how we were making sure everyone got their dues in so we can have a Junior Prom and Prom next year. She even emailed me a list on those who haven’t started making payments at all, I printed it out. It’s a short list bout ten.”
“Who’s on it?” Sango asked finally parking and turning off the car. We got out as I read off the names, but stopping at the last. She however noticed.
“Who’s the last Kagome?”
“Taisho Inuyasha.” I answered, I sighed, and here we go again.
“I knew his ignorant ass was on that fucking list.”
“It’s not that big of a deal. Sang,” I said taking up my spot as protector of Inuyasha from Sango rage. “And besides maybe he has financial problems, like Linda Sale, she’s on the list and has financial problems.
“Financial problems my ass, he fucking works, Kagome, works a damn lot too.”
“What where?” this was news to me. I prided myself on finding out new info on Inuyasha, and this was something I never heard before.
“KFC,” Miroku answered stepping between the Sango and me and grabbing her hand, “I go there with some friends some times and he always working. He’s even a manager there.”
“There you see what reasons his ass has of not paying his dues? It’s not like he have to pay the monthly rent.” She said.
“You don’t know his home life, just like the rest of us. We don’t know what he does.”
“Maybe it would be wise to not expect him to pay. He most likely not even goes to the events, so no use in wasting a good yelling moment on him.” Miroku said then squeezed her shoulder.
“Let’s just go and get this over with.” Sango said, she kissed the pervert good bye, grabbed my arm and we both ran towards the library where the meeting was being held.
*********************
The meeting wasn’t too long; we decided to just write a notice about paying the dues would hand them to all juniors at lunch. That would be done by Friday. We talked about the junior prom finding out that we had enough for one, though it would be in school in the gym, but only be we wanted to save our money for senior prom and Senior Trip.
We were out before classes start so me and Sango hopped in her car, drove to Burger King and bought ourselves a breakfast meal. We rushed back to class, eating our stuff on the way and then rushed to our Geometry, seeing how we were five minutes late.
We were laughing when we entered the classroom but got quiet when Mr. Grant glared at us and scolded us for being late. We apologized and went to our seats. I stopped before seating down and looked at the empty seat by the window and to my left. It was the second day that the seat’s owner wasn’t there, the second-
“Kagome is there a reason you haven’t taken your seat?” Mr. Grant asked him. I turned and looked at him. I shook my head and sat down; I however turned my gaze back to Inuyasha’s empty seat.
I was worried about him, he told me Monday that as long as he comes to school he’s fine, but he hasn’t been here for two days. That meant he’s not fine. I’m really worried. I don’t know what to do, should I tell some one-
“Stop it Kagome. What the fuck do you think this is? This is not some project that you can work at it, hoping to succeed. There is much more to lose to this than you think.”
That’s what he said. He told me to stay out of it but how can I? I care too much about him.
That’s my secret, I am in love with Inuyasha Taisho, and no one knows but my best friends Sango and Miroku. Sango of course don’t approve, she say’s he’s not good enough for me, he’s too dangerous and he’s a play boy. Miroku just always tell me to be careful around him and to have someone around when I’m around him.
I know they are just looking out for me, but they can’t stop this. I love him and I want to tell him but I can’t. I’m too afraid he’ll reject me. He already rejected my friendship and pretty much told me to stay the fuck out of his life. I know a relationship is asking too much, but I can’t help but desire it.
I’ve always had a crush on Inuyasha, since I first saw those violet eyes on him, I love looking into his eyes.
A lot of people don’t know Inuyasha but I do. I remember a time long ago when I was friends, best friends with him, course we were five but still. I don’t remember much of that time but what I do remember was that he was there protecting me and always there to make me laugh and being with me. My mother knows what I’m talking about; she tells me stories sometimes from when we were kids.
We were the best of friends, but then when we were six something happened to him and his brother Sesshomaru and he seemed to forget about me. I’m not talking about ignoring me forgetting me but can’t remember me. His brother told me he had an accident on the stairs in his house and lost some of his memory. It seems I was part of his memory that got lost. And the worst part of it all, it was around his sixth birthday.
~~~***Flashback***~~~
Normal POV
“Ms. Katey.” A five year old Kagome walked up to her kindergarten teacher and patted her leg trying to get her attention.
“What is it Kagome?” Ms. Katey said bending down to the young girl’s level
“I-I finished wit my get-well-soon card for Yashy.” The small girl said holding her card up. The cover had two small people on it both with long black hair drawn on it, it was the best ability that a five year old can do.
The class was making Get-Well-Soon cards for Inuyasha after hearing about his accident this past weekend.
“Kagome, this is very pretty. I think Inuyasha will like it very much.” The little girl beamed at this and then frowned.
“Can you help me wit the spelling.”
“OF course, come one.” The Teacher stood up and they walked to Kagome’s desk where there was another card.
“Another one Kagome?”
“Kind of, his one is for his birthday today.” Kagome smiled.
“Yep, and since he’s coming back tomorrow we’ll throw him a surprise party.”
“Really?” Kagome asked excited and jumping up and down in her seat.
“Yes, but it’s a surprise for everyone. Can you keep a secret?”
“YES.” Kagome screamed, but then covered her mouth and looked around hoping no one heard her. After being satisfied that no one did she leaned in to her teacher “I promise, I’ll tell no one.” Whispered but still squirmed in her chair from excitement.
Everyone in the classroom was working on the cards when a knock came on the classroom door unexpectedly. The door opened and someone that no one expected to see poked his head in.
“Ms. Katey?” said a young teenage boy opening the door more.
“Sess-Sesshomaru,” Ms. Katey asked walking to the door, “I wasn’t expecting to see you till tomorrow.”
“Can I speak to you in the hall?” The boy asked the teacher in a low voice. Ms. Katey sensed something wrong and nodded.
“Everyone, I’m going to talk to Inuyasha’s brother, I’ll be outside, if you need me.” She said and walked out the hall but leaving the door opened a crack to listen out for her class.
“What do you think it is?” A small girl named Stacey asked Kagome.
“Maybe Inu’s come back.” An excited Kagome whispered.
“Not five minutes later, the door opened again and in came three people, Ms. Katey, a thirteen year old Sesshomaru and a just turned six year old Inuyasha.
The class immediately started yelling out hellos and how are you Inuyasha to the boy, who didn’t reply. Kagome however didn’t say anything, she was looking over the boy who was her best friends threw out the year. He didn’t look like him self. He looked scared and nervous she never knew Inuyasha to be the shy type. He was always loud and often acted mean to everyone.
Along with that his arm was in a cast, and his head had a bandage wrapped around it. He had a small scare over his cheek, and his hair which normally looked shiny now seemed string and dry. He looked sickly too.
“Everyone listen up.” Ms. Katey said quieting the class. “Go on Sesshomaru.”
“As you all may know, Inuyasha here had a little accident. He fell down some stairs and got hurt.” Sesshomaru started he put his hand softly on top of Inuyasha’s head knowing that it still hurt. “There is also something else I should mention. Inuyasha is suffering from amnesia, from when he hit his head.”
There was silence as if everyone was thinking about this, some students even gasped.
Suddenly one student raised their hand and the teacher called on the little boy. He asked what everyone else what thinking.
“What’s amnesia?” everyone else nodded in agreement to the question.
“Well Class amnesia is when a person hits their head very very hard and they loose some or all of their memory for either a while or very long time.
“Bu-but, Frankie, had hitted my head n I still gots my memory, I think.”
“Well, Frankie stop hitting Daphne on the head, now Daph, it’ll have to be something harder really hard.”
“Like falling down the steps like Inuyasha did?” another girl asked.
“Something of the sort, any other questions?”
One hand went up, others followed but the teacher smiled at Kagome who had her hand up first.
“Go ahead Kagome.”
“Inuyasha,” Kagome asked staring at the timid boy. He looked at her and slightly tilted his head to the side. “Do you remember anything? Do you remember me?”
“Am I suppose to?” the confused boy asked, he looked up to his brother in question.
“Inuyasha, that’s Kagome, she’s your best friend.” Sesshomaru answered.
“Oh,” the boy turned back to Kagome who started to cry. “Hey, wait, don’t cry.” He walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. “I don’t like seeing you cry.”
“So you do remember me.” Kagome said smiling happily, she jumped up and wrapped her arms tightly around his chest. Unlucky for her she didn’t know about his wounds. He yelped out in pain and pushed Kagome off him. He backed away and wrapped his arms around himself, tears falling from his eyes.
“Inuyasha,” Sesshomaru said bending down to him. The teacher went up to Kagome who feel after Kagome pushed him.
“Are you alright Kagome?” Kagome nodded and looked up at Inuyasha who was bending holding himself.
“I’m sorry if I hurt you Inuyasha.” Kagome said standing up, she walked over to him and went to touch him but he just fell backwards to move away from her. He backed up to his brother and stood up. Kagome was hurt and started to cry.
“It’s okay, Kayame, do-don’t cry.” Inuyasha stood up, but Kagome stepped back.
“My name is Kagome KA-GO-ME.” She yelled whipping her tears away.
“You don’t have to yell.” Inuyasha yelled back. “Sess do I have to stay here I want to go home.”
“We already went over this Inuyasha, remember?” The young boy shook his head; the older one sighed then whispered something in his ear. The boy eyes widened and shook his head vigorously.
“Fine I’ll stay I’ll stay, don’t leave me wit them alone.”
“Them?” Ms. Katey asked.
“Uh monsters under the bed,” Sesshomaru answered with the first thing that popped out of his head, that sounded lame, he thought afterwards.
“I see.” Ms. Katey said. “Well, I have a class to run, I’m sure you have class to, right?”
“Yeah, right,” Sesshomaru answered standing up. “Behave Inuyasha; I’ll come pick you up after schools ended.”
“Promise,” A now scared Inuyasha asked. He didn’t know anyone and the one person he did know was leaving him.
“I promise.” Sesshomaru patted him on his head and then left the room. Ms. Katey ushered Inuyasha to his seat and announced it was drawing time, they had to draw their family.
“So, Yashy,” Kagome said working on her family. They sat next to each other.
“Huh?” Inuyasha asked the strange girl next to her.
“What do you remember?” She asked him. Inuyasha stopped drawing his brother and him and thought about the question.
“When do you mean? When I woked up or right now?”
“When you woked.”
“Nothing, I thinked I remembered my name, but that’s it. But after I spoked to Fluffy-I mean Sess, he don’t like me to call him Fluffy but I still do. He told me stuff and I remembered some of it. I think he told me my birthday is today.”
“It is, see I made you this card.” Kagome said giving Inuyasha his birthday card and his get-well soon card. He thanked her and put them in his desk, and started working on his family.
The two remained friends for a couple of weeks, and then Inuyasha met up with some little boys who befriended him and convinced him that all girls had cooties even Kagome. Inuyasha stopped being Kagome’s friend and soon his started growing more distant to everyone and forever fighting in school. He would show up sometimes bruised, and sometimes be out for days. Kagome and Inuyasha never became friends again and it seemed like he forgot about her. She always worried about him, but she could only watch from afar.
~~~***End Flashback***~~~
I was sitting at the lunch table surrounded by my friends, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Ayame, Hojo, Eri, Kristin, Kiesha, Darien, Greg, Dashawn, and a few others. We always sat at the lunch table together, talking and laughing about anything. I guess we were considered the popular group but I don’t really care for labels.
“I can’t stand Inuyasha.” Sango said which brought me back to the discussion. “He seriously thinks he owns this place.”
“Leave the boy alone, Sango, he ain’t here to defend himself against you, again.” Keisha and black said laughing.
“I don’t care if he’s here or not.” Sango said, “He isn’t going to do anything to me.”
“And if he tries, you got all of us here to back you up.” Kouga said making a muscle.
“I feel so relieved.” Sango said dryly, everyone but me laughed.
“I don’t know, you guys. I hear he took on five people at once. And you saw his scars.”
“I wouldn’t be surprise if Inu-turd did that shit himself, Hobo.” Kouga laughed. My hand curled into a fist, I hated when they talked about Inuyasha like that. He left them alone so why can’t they leave him alone.
“My name is Hojo not Hobo, Kouga.”
“Whatever, point is he wish he could beat me. I’ll run circles around him.”
“Didn’t you fight with him once,” Keisha asked, “and lost?” Everyone but, Kouga and me laughed.
“I told you, I was already tried because couch decided to drill us for gym class.” They laughed at his excuse; it changed every time it was brought up.
“Hold on, I thought you said you were sick the last time.” Dashawn laughed.
“And before that he said he wasn’t concentrating on the fight, he was thinking about something else.” Miroku laughed.
“Ahh shuddup,” Kouga growled crossing his arms.
“Yeah, leave him alone.” Ayame said coming to the rescue her off and on boyfriend, currently they were on.
“Besides, you guys, he won’t be alone fighting Taisho, I’ll be there. He needs to be knocked off his high horse.” Darien said he and Kouga pounded fist.
“I’ll be there with you guys,” Miroku added, “I still have something I want to repay.” Miroku then cracked his knuckles and nodded, the other two boys did the same.
I couldn’t stand it; I stood up and walked away without saying another word to them. I refuse to be around anyone who talked about beating up a guy I cared deeply for. I heard Sango calling my name but I didn’t reply to it. I walked quickly to the bathroom and leaned against the sink.
I hated this, why couldn’t they just leave Inuyasha alone. I have enough trouble trying to get on his nice side without my friends all conspiring against him.
“Kagome?” Sango said coming into the bathroom. I looked at her in the mirror and turned away. “Kags, why did you leave?”
“Why do you all have to always talk bad about him?” I asked instead. She sighed and leaned against the sink next to me. She didn’t say anything so I continued. “You know how I feel about him Sango; I just wish you would be more considerate to my feelings before you plan on jumping him.”
She sighed again and crossed her arms; she then surprised me with her response. “You’re right Kagome. I could be nicer about him. I should be more considerate to your feelings and I’m not. I’m sorry. It’s just that,” she turned to me and pushed hair behind her ear. “He’s dangerous and I’m only trying to look out for you. Why did you have to fall for the guy prone to fights and shit?”
“You don’t fucking know him, Sango.” I declared and turned to face her.
“I know fucking enough, I saw it too. Monday, he punched a hole in the fucking wall.”
“You provoked him.”
“You’re on his side now?” She yelled out.
“No, I’m on yours.” I yelled back.
“Then why doesn’t it feel like it Kags? I don’t like him, or his attitude. He thinks he’s too good for people and always fighting. Plus I heard he’s into drugs and shit.”
“You don’t even know him Sango.”
“Neither do you, and don’t you dare say you do, cause you didn’t even know where he worked until this morning.” Sango calmed down a bit before she continued. “I know you said you two used to be friends when you were little, and you said he use to be nice. Now I didn’t know him from back then, but from what you told me I can say he changed, for the worst. He’s not the same Inuyasha you knew and trusted.”
“You don’t know anything Sango.” I yelled, I was grateful that no one was in the bathroom at the time. “You don’t know what goes on in his life. How hard he has it.”
“And you do?” She yelled back.
“Yes, I do. In fact the two of us talked for a while on Monday actually.” I said folding my arms over my chest in defiance.
“Was this before or after I found the fucking guy screaming off at my best friend who was crying.”
“Sango-” I began angrily.
“Just listen to me.” She interrupted, “I don’t want to fight you over some boy. We’re both bigger than that.”
It was my turn to sigh, she was right. “You’re right. I just hate seeing you guys ganging up on him. He has enough trouble in his life without worrying about if a bunch a people from school is going to jump him.”
Tears started falling from my eyes before I could stop them. I thought about his parents beating him up rendering him unconscious or even worst. It didn’t help calm my thoughts that he haven’t been here for two days.
“Kagome?” she asked concerned and surrounding me in a hug.
“I’m so scared for him, that he may not be alive.”
“It’s that bad?”
“I wouldn’t wish what he goes through on my worst enemy.” I said hugging her tightly.
“What is it?”
“I can’t tell you, I promised. That’s why he was yelling at me, because I tried to get him to get some help. He said that I’ll end up killing him by trying to help him. He told me to stay out of it, but I can’t. The most I can do is hopefully getting some of you guys off his back here at school. So please-”
“Okay, okay. Just stop crying.” I smiled and wiped my tears away as she continued, “I’ll try and get the other guys to stop; we’ll stay out of his way. Shouldn’t be hard right? He barley talks to us so we’ll have nothing to say to him.”
“Thank you Sango, that’s all I ask.” I hugged her again.
“So you ready to go back to lunch, there still ten minutes left before we have to go to class.”
“Yeah,” the two of us linked arms and walked back to the lunchroom and our table. Everyone was talking about something or another.
“Do you think we’ll get to pick our own partners?” Ayame was saying as she clutched on to Kouga.
“Partners for what?” Sango and I asked in unison as we sat down.
“Hey, you okay Kags?” Keisha asked me. “You left madd quick.”
“I’m good, just on my monthly torture.” I lied.
“I gottcha,” Her and Kristen said.
“Don’t really want to hear about it Kagome.” Kouga spoke up.
“Then don’t listen.”
“Partners for what?” Sango asked again.
“Well, I heard that Mrs. Adams is pairing up with the home economics class and doing that life experience project. The one where you get assigned a husband or wife, give you a job, and give you a baby then grade you.” Kristen informed us. She worked in the main office and always knew what was going on with the school. She informed us with what she learned.
“Yeah, and I was wondering if we get to make our own partners or will they assign it for us.” Ayame finished.
“They’ll probably assign it for us, we won’t be that lucky.” I said and everyone nodded in agreement.
“It’s not fair, I mean don’t we pick our own husbands when we get married?” Sango argued.
“Like they care,” Eri added. “As long as they get their laughs in on us during this shit, they don’t care.”
“I know who I’d pick if I got to choose.” Kouga said and winked at me although he put his arm around Ayame. I shook my head. Kouga likes me, it’s a pain to say, for a while before Ayame showed up, he use to call me his woman. I hated it of course, I refused to date anyone owe tries to claim me like a prize. And one date with him is enough to drive anyone up the wall; I don’t know how Ayame stands it.
“I know who I would like to be with.” Hojo said smiling at me, and I cringed.
He liked me too, but he’s too boring. We dated a while back but that didn’t last, the guy is really really boring, plus he doesn’t even say my first name, always by my-
“Higurashi don’t you feel the same way?”
“Well Hojo, uh-yeah, I think I know who I would-uh want to do the project with.” I answered nervously. I would want to pick, Inuyasha, but would he let me, I thought as I put my elbow on the table and rested my head in my hand.
“I know who I would pick,” Started Miroku, we all groaned at what was going to happen next. He grasped Sango’s hands in his own and got on his knees. “Sango, would you grace me with the honor of being your husband and you bearing my child. We could do it the old fashion way. I don’t care how many times we must do it, I won’t give up, my lovely Sango.” Of course to top it off, one of his hands slipped down to rub her butt.
“PERVERT.” Sango screamed and slapped him hard which caused him to fall back on the floor.
“He’ll never learn.” Eri commented while the rest of us nodded in agreement.
“I still say Sango hit him so much he never thinks before he speaks anymore.” Darien added, we all agreed as we watched Miroku climb back to his seat rubbing his bruised cheek.
“Oh well, he’ll when he winds up in the hospital, the pervert.” Sango said wiping her hands off.
“When are they going to do this thing Kristen?” I asked.
“Dunno, no set date been made yet.” She answered. “All they know is-”
Kristen was interrupted by the bell meaning that lunch was over and class started in about ten minutes. We all stood up and gathered our lunch trays, then headed to our lockers then class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Anoth er boring day at school,” Sango said as we headed to our lockers to put stuff away. School was over and I was on my way to Sango’s house, she promised to help me with my math, I suck in math.
We said goodbye to everyone and left. We drove to Sango we’re spent a good four and a half hours doing math. We stopped just before eight o’clock, because I was lost and Sango’s parents asked her to go get something to eat. Sad to say I only understood some of it.
“I’m never going to get this stuff Sango.” I said as we walked to her car, we were going to get some food for her family, I was just going for the ride, and then she was going to drop me off at home.
“I’m sure you’ll get it, Kagome, you just have to find your method, do that and you’ll be good.”
“Easy for you to say, you found yours.”
“Don’t worry, I have faith in you.” We climbed in her car and turned up the radio, she drove us the KFC, there was a line but we didn’t mind. She went right to the drive-thru.
“Is this the one Inuyasha works at?” I asked. I’m not really a KFC person, I don’t eat here that much.
“Yeah, he was working window when me and Miroku say him.” She said driving up to the order machine. She ordered her family a family size meal and drove up.
“Do you think he’s working, now? I asked, wanting to get a glimpse of him to make sure he’s all right.
“I don’t know, I heard he sometimes be working during school hours. Maybe that’s not why he’s at work.” I smiled at Sango. She was trying her best not to insult Inuyasha, I can tell by her tight grip on the steering wheel.
“I’ll ask them.” We waited a couple of minutes until we had to pull up to the one window. Sango paid them and as they got our food together I asked the black girl at the window. “Excuse me Miss.”
“Yes.” The girl smiled down at us even though I can tell it was fake, hopefully it wasn’t anything personal.
“Is Inuyasha working tonight?” I asked hopefully of an answer. Her smile disappeared and she looked accusingly at us.
“Who wants to know?”
“My name is Kagome, I’m a friend of his and I’m worried. He hasn’t been to school since Monday. I would call him but I lost his number. I know he works here so-”
“You his girl or something?”
“No, but me and Yash are good friends.” I lied. I hoped I would get hell from him for doing this. She looked at me debating on whether to tell me anything or not, and I looked at her pleading.
“Ugh, he’s not here, didn’t even show up for work yesterday. He called two hours ago and said he had a little accident, but he should be fine. He’ll probably be in school tomorrow.”
I felt a lump grow in my throat as I unbuckled my seat belt and climbed over a surprised Sango. “Is he okay? Is he hurt? What accident? Can he walk, do he remember his name?” I started shooting questions off by the dozen. The girl waved me quiet.
“Wait a second, wait. All he said was he tripped on some stairs and some junk and he should be fine. Question him tomorrow, if he doesn’t go to school, he’ll be working here after.” She handed us our food which I took back and moved back to my seat. Sango thanked her and we drove off. I sat in my seat wrecking my brain about what type of condition Inuyasha could be in.
“I’m sure he’s fine, he just fell down the stairs that all.” Said Sango after sensing my distress, I only scoffed at this as I wondered what his parents did to him this time. I muttered thanks and goodbye when Sango dropped me off. I ran up to my room and buried my face in the pillows.
“Inuyasha, how am I going to get you out of there?” I asked out loud, I laid there till I fell asleep.
