This Can’t Happen, Kagome


I walked out the bathroom and headed back to the disaster that was my room. Destroying shit and beating the shit out of someone are my two favorite ways of distressing and releasing anger. I was now wishing I had released my anger on someplace other than my room. I sighed as I stared at the broken shit on the floor. I was going to have a hell of a time cleaning up.

I threw on my black old schools, which I brought months ago. They looked good enough to wear. I was wearing some plain blue baggy jeans and a yellow long sleeve shirt, which had Rock a Wear, written on it in black cursive writing. I decided to leave my hair out for today; I just brushed the tangles out of it. I grabbed my book bag, cursing myself for not even doing my homework. That just meant that I would have to go to school early. It was only seven fifty; I could buy something to eat on the way.

I walked out my room and out the house without even bothering to wake up the bastard for work. I didn’t care any more. I walked to Burger King first and then quickly to school.

I sat in my first period class, math, and glad that it was open before class started and finished my homework and ate my breakfast sandwich. The homework was easy, so it only took me about fifteen minutes together to finish. By then I was finished with my food and trashed it. I sat back at my desk and put my head in my arms and fell into a light sleep. I was still tired from last night’s events.

I woke up when my noisy classmates came in, chattering up a storm. I looked outside, wishing to be out there, and on my own. I started getting the feeling that someone was watching me. I turned to the door and there stood Kagome watching me, her eyes scanning my body, trying to find any trace of abuse. I sighed and turned away from her. I didn’t pay attention to anything but outside, though I could still feel her eyes bore into me.

For a while I had forgotten that she knew about me, I forgot that she worried easily. I knew she was going to stare at me and bug me all day until I told her I was okay.

“Glad to see you return to us Mr. Taisho.” Mr. Grant said, hoping to get my attention from the window. I turned to him and looked at him as if he was the most boring person in the word.

“Let’s just say, home life got boring.” I answered, “Though I think this is not too far behind.”

“Just pay attention, Inuyasha.” I nodded and he started teaching. I took notes, ignoring the looks Kagome was giving me. Class went on uneventful, at the end I gave him the homework that I owed and he gave me my catch up work. He gave me back the test that I took last Friday; I of course aced it without a doubt.

I went to my other classes and repeated the same process, gave in homework that I owed and they gave me work I missed. It wasn’t till lunch that things got more interesting than I wanted. I ate the lunch food, which was pizza and then sat on the highest branch of my favorite tree. I relaxed glad to have some free time and started dozing off.

“Hey Inuyasha,” Someone yelled my name. I looked down and saw that mangy bastard Kouga and his followers, along with Miroku, Darien and Dashawn. What the fuck did they want with me? Wait, I’m wondering like I gave a damn. I got comfortable again and closed my eyes. “I know your fucking ass hear me, Dog boy.”

I growled I hated when he called me that. “What the fuck do you want ya mangy Wolf.” Kouga was part of a small gang called The Wolves, but I didn’t care, I knew people in larger gangs that would have my back if needed be.

“Get down; I have a bone to pick with you.”

“Chew on it and leave me the fuck alone.” I yelled back. I still hadn’t moved. I stared up eat the endless blue sky, wondering how I was going to get by in gym, hopefully whatever we did do, wasn’t a contact sport.

“You scared to come down?” Kouga said trying to taunt me, “I heard that only cat’s climb trees, doesn’t that make you a pussy?”

This guy was seriously irking my last nerves, he honestly wanted to fight me, but I wasn’t about to get in trouble for his stupid ass. I knew exactly what would happen if I got caught for fighting. Suspended for fighting, and they would call home, then my father would find out and then he would ‘discipline’ me for causing trouble in school. That was something that I did not need at all.

The safest thing for me to do was to get away from the mangy Wolf before his words get to me. Damn, and I was feeling so relaxed too. I sighed and stood up on the branch, and I tied my hair with a rubber band that I kept around my wrist.

“What the fuck-” everyone yelled as I jumped down the tree which was over a ten foot drop. I’m not stupid, as I was going down, I was grabbing on some branches to help me slow down. It just looked like a free fall. I perfected this jump ever since I started going to this hellhole they called Shikon High.

I landed swiftly in front of them and smirked, proudly showing on of my canine teen. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and without a word turned away from them and started walking away.

“Hey wait,” Kouga yelled finally coming out of his stupor. I just kept on walking. “What you running away with your tails between your legs, Dog Shit, scared of a little challenge.”

I busted out laughing, at what he said.

“What so god-damn funny?”

“You Kouga,” I asked stopping and turning toward them, I pulled the rubber band out my hair and replaced it back on its spot on my wrist. “You’re just so damn funny. If I fight you again, I would get no brownie points for that shit. I already beat you badly if I remember that other time, oh wait. What was your excuse again? Oh yeah, you already injured your arm so you couldn’t hit me as hard as you wanted to. What’s it going to be the next time I beat your sorry ass, you had a long practice and too tired to actually make any good hits on me?”

His so called friends behind him started laughing; he spun on them and told them to shut up. As he did that I turned back around and walked away.

It didn’t take me long enough to realize someone was following me. The person followed me back inside the school through the cafeteria, they fell behind for a while, but I knew they were still there watching me. I exited the cafeteria and entered the stairway; I leaned against the wall, arms folded and one foot prompted on the wall. I waited. Not two minutes later the stairway doors open and he came in.

“Houshi,” I stated.

“Taisho.” He replied. We stood there, staring each other down. I had a feeling many words were going to be said to one another, and it would do me well if those words weren’t repeated by an outsider.

“Keh, follow me.” I said and walked up the stairs not looking back to see if he was following. I however heard his echoing footsteps proving to me that he was. I smiled to myself as I climbed the stairs.

I stopped when we reached the third floor, now there were three ways of getting off the stairway, only two being accessible. The first was going down the steps that we just climbed, the second being going into the hallway which leads to other classrooms. The third way which was a no access way was going up the stairs to the forth floor, but the forth floor was cut off because about four years ago, when I was still in middle school, the roof of the school caved in after a bad snow storm. It trashed the forth floor.

Most students would ignore the caged area to the forth floor, but I’m not most students.

“You do know how to keep your mouth shut don’t you.” I asked him, pulling out my wallet.

“Why?” he asked getting nervous, I laughed, I loved to see people sweat.

“Because if you don’t I’ll turn back now and leave you here.” I said pulling out a key.

“Yes.” He answered narrowing his eyes.

“Keh, you better.” I said putting my wallet back in my pants. I don’t use this key a lot, I’m not stupid enough to abuse what I was given, or found, or stole. I turned to the caged door and bent down. I put the key in the lock and twisted.

“In-Inuyasha how did you?” His eyes widened now.

“Let’s just say, it’s funny how people put stuff down when they think no one is watching.” I answered opening the gate; I looked around and entered Miroku right behind me.

I motioned him to go on ahead and get out of sight until I put shit back. I put the lock in place but didn’t lock it. It was a hell unlocking that shit from the inside. I went up the stairs and saw Miroku open the door to the forth fall hallway. It was dark right now, but I knew what it looked like already, just shit lying around and collecting dust, lots of it.

I motioned him to catch up, as I continued going up the stairs to the door that lead to the roof. I opened up and smiled, I got out the way, as Miroku came up behind me. I kept the door open by placing a brick against it.

“What the hell is all of this?” he asked me.

“It’s called a roof Monk.” I answered, using the English version of his last name. I still laughed at that. How the hell did God make someone with the last name that meant Monk, which was suppose to be holy, make them into such a pervert. Whose past time was groping girls on the street.

“Seriously, Taisho,”

“I am being fucking serious. I found a key to the place freshman year and come up once in a while.” I walked to the edge of the roof and peered down, no one was out side that meant the bell was about to ring. And there it goes, at least I won’t have to worry about gym class now.

I walked to a brick wall and pulled a loose brick out of it. Inside was a pack of Newport cigarettes and a lighter. I’m not much of a smoker any more, not like I used to be as a freshman, but it was my own tradition to smoke every time I came up here.

I held the pack to Miroku, but he decline. I shrugged took one lighted it and placed everything back in its place. I leaned on the wall, as I took a drag on my cig and eyed Miroku.

“So, are you going to tell me why I’ve become suddenly popular?” I asked him.

“They heard what happened between you and Kagome on Monday.”

“Nothing happened Monk.” I asked with the cigarette between my lips. I removed it.

“I was there Inuyasha.”

“What you saw was the end of something that should never have started.”

“What was that?”

“She ain’t tell you or Sango?” I asked.

“No, she refused to.”

“At least she listened to me.” I mumbled.

“What was that?” He asked.

“What happened between me and her isn’t any of your damn business so I suggest you stay out of it.” I threatened.

The dumbass wouldn’t listen, “Kagome is one of my best friends, when I see you standing over her and she’s crying it becomes my business.”

“I was only telling her what she didn’t want to hear.” I replied, I took another hit of the cigarette and threw it out, it tasted kind of stale. I walked to the edge of the roof and stood on top of the ledge.

“What was that?” he asked again, being damn persistent. I turned to him still standing on the ledge. The wind was picking up, and I felt my hair started to stir.

“Something that doesn’t concern Miroku Houshi,” I started strongly. He nodded and sighed; he came over to me and leaned on the edge. We both were staring at the city around us, neither looking at each other.

“What ever it was shook her up pretty bad.” He said after a while.

“It was supposed to, if that was the only way to get the point across to her. Asking her wasn’t working.” I replied.

“You know, for some reason she’s worries about you a lot. You fight a lot, I guess that’s it.” I grunted in response.

“She’s a worry wart” I shrugged my shoulders again.

“It’s not that Inuyasha,” he began, he looked up at me and I looked down at him. His next words surprised me. “She would kill me if I told you this, but who knows, maybe you’ll be more considerate of her feelings the next time you end up making her cry.”

“Keh,”

“She likes you.”

“So, a lot of girls like me.” I answered coolly, though on the inside I was jumping for joy, the Goddess likes me.

“No, you baka,” he said shaking his head, “not like as in liking you for just your looks. With her it’s deeper than that. I’d say she’s in love with you.”

I froze at that. WHAT THE FUCK, my mind yelled out. Like is one thing, love is a whole other level.

“How-when-what-where?” I asked shakily, though I probably wasn’t making any sense.

“I don’t know, but I can see it, Sango sees it. Hell, she even told us she feels for you deeply. She said she knew you since kindergarten.”

My eyes narrowed at that, I don’t remember Kagome in kindergarten; then again I don’t remember kindergarten at all, thanks to the bastard and the fucking tool.

“Sorry don’t remember that.” I answered.

“She does.” He said, “So will you at least be nice-”

“You say you care for her, and that she’s your best friend right?” I asked interrupting him. He frowned but nodded. “You want me to stay away from her right? Isn’t that why you wanted to talk to me.”

“What I want, Taisho is for her to be happy, and for you not to make her cry again.” He answered strongly.

“I make no promises.” I answered. I swiftly turned around on the ledge without losing my balance and jumped down “Let me ask you this, Monk, you do want to keep her safe right, keep her alive?”

“What kind of question is that?” he asked standing up in front of me.

“Answer the fucking question.” The wind started to pick up, and my hair tossed with it.

“Yeah of course, I don’t want Kagome involved with something that can kill her.”

“Than keep her fucking away from me and you’ll be doing just that.” I answered before a harsh wind blue causing my hair to fly with it.

“What?” he asked dumbly.

“If you so call care for her and her safety, you would do best to keep her away from me. If she makes any type of an attempt to push her way into my life, one of us, or both of us ain’t’ coming out alive.” I answered with a low growl.

“Is that a threat?”

“Not from me.” I answered and walked to the door. I held it out for him to go first.

“Can you at least, attempt to be nice to her? It won’t kill you.” He asked again.

“Keh,” I answered following Miroku down the stairs.

“That’s all I ask.” He said. I made sure no one was coming and the two of us quickly but quietly made it down the stairs. As I locked the gate behind us I reminded Miroku.

“Remember Monk, about this-”

“I was never here.” He answered holding up his hands. I simply walked out to the hall way while combing my hair with my fingers. I might as well go to the rest of gym class. I have a lot to make up in the class, that’s a lot of after school running on the track, oh well.

“Inuyasha wait.” The perverted monk yelled out to me. I sighed; I wondered if any other loners had this much trouble finding time to be alone.

“What is it now Monk?” I asked aggravated.

“Well, I was wondering,” he began laughing nervously, my eyes narrowed, he wanted something.

“Well, you see, I was wondering if maybe.”

“What the fuck is it?” I asked impatiently but kept walking, he followed close behind.

“Can I use that key for me and Sango’s up coming anniversary? It’s our one year, and I want to do something special, I know she would just love the view and-”

“Why would I want to do something for her?” I asked stopping and crossing my arms. I saw a hall monitor coming our way, so I uncrossed my arms and kept walking, he followed babbling about something.

“Come one Yash-”

“Never call me that again” I stopped momentarily and growled at him, then continued.

“Right, sorry. But come on man. I won’t tell anyone.”

“If you did, I’d deny it.” I answered flatly. “But if I do let you use it, what do I get in return?”

“Someone who’s very grateful?” he tried.

“Try again,” my tone didn’t change.

“I’ll get Sango to let up one you.”

I cringed at that, it sounded like something my mother would say about my father.

“Try fucking again.”

“I’ll put in a good word for you for Kagome.”

“Try again.”

The girl is in love with me, I may not want that but, why would I need a good word put in for me if I did.

“I’ll cover for you next time you get into trouble.”

“Try again.”

The monk gets in more trouble than me, with the teachers, for groping girls.

“Twenty bucks?”

“Close, but not there yet.”

Now he was talking a language I understood well.

“Thirty?”

“Try again.”

“Forty?”

“Not quite.”

“Fifty?”

“If you insist then that will do.” I smiled smugly at him as I stood in front of the gym’s door.

“I’ll need it in two weeks.” He said.

“If you get caught, then you’re on your own.” I answered.

“Understood,” he started running back toward his class, but stopped. “I’ll get back at you.”

“No, I’ll come to you.” I said and went into the gym.

Gym class was boring; all they did was play volleyball. The teacher agreed to let me come all next week to let me make up for the classes I missed as long as I played today and tomorrow. I agreed changed into my gym cloths and participated. I ignored the pain that my body was sending me and helped my team win the game.

After class I went to the rest of the classes and that was like my others, took notes, gave in homework and was given work that I missed. Classes were just like the whole school; boring. I was happy when it all was over, I even thanked God.

“Thank you God, school’s over for the day.” That’s me thanking God.

I stood at my locker putting all my books in my book bag because I had homework in all of my classes.

“Hey.” A voice said from behind my locker door.

“Hey.” I answered without looking up from my locker; I knew who it was already.

“Look, before you say anything, I want you to know that it took me a lot of persuading for me to come up here and talk to you after what happened between us on Monday.

“Something happened between us?” I asked still in my locker.

“Don’t act like such a jerk.” She demanded.

“What do you want from me?” I asked making sure everything that I needed was out of my locker before I closed it. I looked down at Sango with a bored look on my face.

“Kagome said she needs to talk to you, alone. As much as I protest it, she said it’s very important, and I owe her one.”

“I don’t have time for this.” I said before pulling my bag over my shoulder. “If she wanted to talk to me, than she would have come up by herself.”

“I told her that myself, but she insisted on me getting you to meet her. Just go talk to her god-damn it.”

“Don’t tell me what to do.” I said, walking away.

“I’m not.” She yelled and ran after me. “I’m asking, and you know I don’t like you, so this is the last thing I ever wanted to fucking do. But she was crying and everything, so I couldn’t help but agree. Just go talk to her.”

“Wait, what are you fucking doing?” I yelled. I didn’t even give her a reply on if I was going or not, yet here she was dragging me away from the front door.

“She’s in the music room, because it’s free right now. Just talk to her.” I looked down at her and Sango had a smile on her face, like she just accomplished something. I guess she did because I was now being pushed in the music room. She closed the door before I could completely register what just happened.

“Inuyasha,” said a soft voice from behind me. I turned around and looked at Kagome, she was sitting on top of the tables with her book bag beside her.

“Kagome,”

“How are you Inuyasha?” she asked me smiling softly.

“I’m fine, I’ll live.”

“I’m glad.” She stood up and came over to me. I looked over her, she was wearing dark blue jeans that hugged her in the right places, and a plain red shirt, and red and white sneakers. She stood in front of me smiled up at me.

“How are you, Inuyasha.” She asked again.

“I said I’m fine-” I stopped, I looked down in her eyes and for the second time since she first approached me, I was lost in me. I understood what she meant. “I’m sore on the left side, I can’t really put my weight on that side, but other than that, just some scrapes and bruises. I’m okay, believe me.” I ended up in a whisper.

Her smile widened and she nodded. She bent her head down and stepped to me. Before I knew it she was in my arms.

“I wish you wouldn’t Kagome.” I whispered.

“I know, I know.” She answered her arms wrapping around me. “I wish I can make this better for you.”

“I know, but you can’t.” She looked up at me, and stepped back, our arms dropping at our sides. Some of my hair fell over my shoulder from our hug, and into my face. Kagome reached up to move it but stopped just inches away. She looked at me silently asking me for permission, I nodded. Her smile grew, it caused me to smile. Her hands reached for my hair and she combed down it with her fingers.

“I always wanted to feel your hair. It always took so shiny and silky and smooth.” She laughed a little. I chuckled a bit. “Don’t laugh but I always wanted ask you for hair tips, you know; you know what shampoo and conditioner you use. What do you do before each night? How do you grow it so long?”

“It’s not by choice.” I blurted out. Her smile disappeared and so did her fingers in her hair.

“What do you mean?” she asked with a frown forming. If I told her the truth then she would probably hate my hair or something.

“It’s just that it runs in the family, it’s in our genes for the males with my blood to have long hair. Even if we get it cut, it grows back in less than a week.”

“Oh.” She smiled and started combing again.

“What did you think I meant?” I asked.

She shook her head, “It’s not that important.” She smiled up at me and I returned the smile.

Our eyes locked and I got lost in the chocolate again. I don’t know how long I was lost in her eyes, but I couldn’t help but feel the magnetic force between us that was slowly pulling us together. She seemed to be coming closer to me.

I felt her hands both of them, over my shoulders and loss in the mass that was my hair, but I didn’t register it.

I felt her waist beneath my hands as I pull her closer to me, but I didn’t register it.

I felt her rise against me as if she was suddenly standing on her toes, but I didn’t register it.

All I could register was her eyes and her red glossy lips that she was now licking. I felt my own tongue wet my lips, as I felt her hands pull me closer, as my hands pulled her closer. Our eyes seemed to droop together and I closed my eyes suddenly tasting strawberries, I’ve always had a thing for strawberries. I had to have more.

I licked whatever it was that had the tasting of strawberries, I felt a shift between my lips and suddenly I tasted a whole new taste and I liked it. It was sweet, and then I felt another tongue touched mine, and I quickly battled it for dominance and easily won.

What the hell, I thought, when the hell did I eat strawberries, and what taste so sweet, I asked myself. I slowly opened my eyes and I was staring at Kagome. FUCK ME, I screamed out in my mind.

I pulled away from her and stared at her wide eyed. She looked at me, her too registering what happened. She then moved her hand to touch her lips. She looked up at me and smiled softly.

She thought that meant something, I mean it did, but it couldn’t, I mean it can’t. I can’t afford it too. I backed away from her, my head trying to find out what the fuck just happened. I picked up my book bag that I had dropped when Sango pushed me in the room and turned to the door. I reached for the knob, twisted and stopped.

“This can’t happen, Kagome. We can’t happen.” I whispered to her. I opened the door and rushed out. I barley acknowledged Miroku and Sango waiting outside the door.

I ran down the hall, ignored the calls of my names, with only one thought running through my head.

I can’t believe I just kissed Kagome Higurashi.




A/N:: How that for an ending. Think of the kiss as a Christmas present. How many thought that the girl by the locker was Kagome and not Sango. Sorry it took me sooo long to update, but before I had finals and then working and then Christmas shopping. So much to do, so little time. But Three chapters to make up for it.
