Chapter 8: Ice

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Kagome's eyes widened in horror, as the bathroom door swung opened to reveal a quite pissed-off Kikyo. Inuyasha blinked in confusion.

"Inuyasha, has your standards for a fuck lowered so much that you'd touch a filthy bitch like Higurashi? You've disappointed me," Kikyo growled at the couple.

"And I suppose you'd be any better, Kikyo?" Inuyasha hissed, grabbing onto Kagome's hand, and pulling her closer to his chest, "what do ya want?"

"Sesshomaru told me you were in here with this girl. I wanted to see it for myself. Obviously he was right," Kikyo glared daggers at Kagome, who in turn flinched.

"And why the hell do you give a shit?!"

"I care, Inuyasha. Is the time you used to spend with me not important enough to remember now? You used to hold me like that, too," Kikyo sighed, "I still love you, Inuyasha."

"Oh Gods, Kikyo! Give it a fucking rest! You're the one who it ended it!" Inuyasha barked. Kagome arched an eyebrow, 'They went out?'

"I did not! You threw me out! You said I wasn't 'good enough' for you! And I guess she is, then?"

"Get out, Kikyo," Inuyasha demanded, pointing a clawed finger towards the door.

"This is a girl's bathroom! You're the one who should leave!"

Inuyasha took a glance at Kagome, "Come on."

Kagome looked at Kikyo, then Inuyasha, "Hai."

As she grabbed her things and what was left of her clothes, Kikyo only bitched, "Sesshomaru's gonna kill you."

Inuyasha huffed and grabbed Kagome's arm, "Yeah, that'll happen."

He pushed his way past Kikyo, with Kagome trailing behind, "Oh yeah, you can tell Sesshomaru to go fuck himself."

Kikyo stuck her tongue out at them both, and Kagome flicked her off as they left the bathroom.

Kikyo sighed, "I will have you back."

Golden eyes stared, watching as the hanyou walked past. Normally, he'd be indifferent to this sort of thing, but he would not allow his brother to fuck with his reputation as well. If Inuyasha went with the girl, he felt the social ladder of this school would crumble. And besides, there was something about Higurashi. Something that had changed.

Had she fallen in love with Inuyasha?

After school, Sango went over to Kagome's house. Inside her room, they listened to her boombox and Kagome told her about the Kikyo incident ealier. Obviously, Sango was shocked.

"She walked right in? Gods, what a bitch."

"I know, I just can't believe they went out!"

"I can. Everybody knew about it, Kagome. I'm surprised you didn't."

"Well, I guess I really didn't give a shit at the time. I mean, now I'm beginning to wonder about his past."

"How do you feel about him?"

"I hate him!"

"It sure as hell doesn't seem like it anymore."

"I guess you're right," she sighed, "there's just something there now that wasn't before. I feel like he actually cares."

"Yeah," Sango rolled her eyes, "he's just fucking with you."

"No he's not, Sango. He held me today, before Kikyo came in. He seems... protective of me. It's actually kinda nice."

"You love him, don't you?"

"No, of course not. He's just this stupid little bad boy from our school."

"Stop fooling yourself."

Kagome glared at her, a sweatbead forming over her brow, "Ugh, Sango! What would you do?"

"I'd kick his ass for not being straight with me."

"I'm not that kind of person."

"You used to be, before all this started!"

"I've changed."

Sango stared at her best friend, and then said, "Tell him."

"What?"

"Tell him how you feel. You guys have got to be serious with each other. It's not just a game like he thinks. Are you guys a couple or not? Once you figured that out, we can all move on with our lives and finish high school!"

Kagome turned away and looked out the window, "It's not that simple."

***

Sesshomaru glared at his half-brother across the room, with cold hatred and almost sympathy burning in his eyes, "What's this girl mean to you, Inuyasha?"

"Just another fuck."

"Kikyo doesn't think so."

"What the fuck does she know? And why the hell do you care all of a sudden, Sesshomaru? Mind your own fucking bussiness!"

"Its my business, if you fuck with my social status."

"And how am I doing that?"

"If Naruku gets wind of this shit you're doing, he'll cut me off. And he'll kill you. He expects us to go with demons, not humans."

"Look who's talking."

"We're talking about you. Not Rin."

"She's a human!"

"She's different."

"Listen to me, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha stood up off the couch he was sitting on and approached his brother, "I don't know what your talking about, but stay the fuck away from Kagome and I, got it?"

"It's not me you should concern yourself with. Its Kikyo."

"Feh," he turned to go, but Sesshomaru stood up and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Inuyasha, you may be part human, but demon blood flows through your veins. Be proud of that. Don't fall in love with her."

Inuyasha shook him off and paced away.

That night, Kagome lay awake in bed, thinking of Sango's words. 'Why is this such a big deal, anyway? Why does everyone care so much about Inuyasha and I? Its just so stupid.'

A scratch on the windowpane broke her from her thoughts. Kagome got up and ambled over to the window, to look outside. It was dark, so she squinted her eyes to try to see. But there was nothing. She turned to go back to bed, when the window broke and glass shattered onto the carpet. Kagome yelped, as the wind blew into the room in a frenzy; the curtains moving wildly.

She glanced down, trying to make sure she didn't cut her feet on the glass, when she saw the culprit: A rock.

On it, a note was wrapped around with rubberbands. She peered down to get a closer look, then gasped.

'STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM INUYASHA.'
