InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Remember Me in the Stars ❯ Suspicions ( Chapter 9 )

Suspicions

Sango could feel her friend's distress. And it was making her angry. She wasn't sure what

Inuyasha was up to these days, but it wasn't spent with his girlfriend. She debated with

herself, whether or not she should tell Kagome her suspicions. The girl didn't even have a clue

of Inuyasha's past. But she still continued to be there for him. Kagome was one of the most

kind hearted people she had ever met. And to see her worrying over Inuyasha filled her with

guilt. Should she tell? Or not? Either way, it would bring sadness. And that was the last thing

Sango wanted to do for her best friend. But she has to know...

Kagome walked with her head slightly bowed in the hallway when she ran into someone.

Looking up, she stared into Sesshoumaru's face.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."

"Has anybody told you what a unique color your eyes are?"

"Ah, a few times."

"They are...quite beautiful."

"Sesshoumaru? Are you feeling alright? You don't seem to be yourself. If you'll excuse me, I

have a class."

Kagome walked past him. Sesshoumaru turned and looked at Kagome. He had paid her a

compliment, and she barely batted an eye. Most girls would have swooned. I need to try

harder. This is the perfect time. With Inuyasha hanging around with Kikyo, I can carry out

my plan with ease. She's the perfect challenge. A smirk on his face, Sesshoumaru devised a

plan to overcome his challenge.

"Kagome-chan, sit over here!"

Kagome spotted her friend and sat down at the table. Thankfully Miroku was in sick today so

it would be a quiet lunch. As for Inuyasha, he wasn't around, as usual. Looking down at her

lunch, Kagome didn't feel very hungry.

"Kagome-chan, you need to eat."

"I haven't been very hungry lately."

She needed to tell Kagome, now. She needs to hear this.

"Kagome-chan, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"It's about Inuyasha."

"Did something happen??"

"Well, something that happened a while ago. Just listen. A year ago, Inuyasha and Kikyo used

to go out with eachother. They were close to each other and everybody could tell that

Inuyasha was really in love with her. She went to Europe over the summer and when she

came back she broke up with Inuyasha in a very nasty way. He never really got over the

relationship. Then you came along and he was back to his normal self, like how he was when

he went out with Kikyo. Now all of a sudden Kikyo is taking on a sudden interest and Inuyasha

isn't around much. I think something is going on between them. Kagome, I don't want to see

you get hurt!"

Kagome tried to process the information while the suspicions she had pushed down arose.

Inuyasha never told me he was in love with Kikyo. Kagome stared down at her plate.

"Kagome-chan, please don't be angry, but, I think the reason Inuyasha went out with you was

because......because you looked like Kikyo."

Kagome looked up in shock. But then, her face changed into one of sorrow and

understanding. After a long pause, she finally spoke.

"I-I believe you Sango-chan. I guess I kind of knew this from the start, but I denied it all. Do

you really think Inuyasha liked me because I looked like Kikyo?"

"It's what I suspect. And if it's true, I'm going to hit Inuyasha so hard, he won't know what hit

him!"

"No, don't do that. I'll handle it. I guess I should start listening to my suspicions. Thank you

for telling me this Sango. I need to go and talk to Inuyasha."

Kagome left her table and walked out with Sango looking worried.

When she got home, she sank to the ground with her head in her hands. After she had walked

out, she went to the office and explained to Principal Myouga that she wasn't feeling well. He

didn't ask her any questions and let her go home. So it comes to this? Inuyasha, please make

my suspicions wrong. Please...please...please. Mama, I need you more than ever now.

What am I going to do? What am I going to say? I can't ask straight out what he is doing

with Kikyo. I need to talk to someone! Then Kagome lifted her head, Kaede! Kaede would

help. The old woman was wise and understanding. Kagome bound down the stairs and into

the kitchen. Rin was out running an errand so Kaede was alone in the kitchen.

"Kaede?"

"Kagome? What's wrong? You're home very early, are you sick?"

"Something terrible happened at school today."

Kagome spilled all of it. To what had happened in the beginning, to her suspicions. Kaede

carefully listened while Kagome talked.

"What am I going to do? I don't know how I am going to talk to him now."

"First things first. You need to talk to him, in person. Pick a place that's secluded so nobody

will bother you. Then ask him what's happening. You must do this, you can't let something

like this just slide by."

"I need to think this through, but I'll take your advice. I'll call him after school and ask him to

meet me in the school garden."

Kagome got up and hugged the woman tightly. Little did they know, someone was

eavesdropping in their conversation.
