Chapter 3: Complications and Realizations

Kagome lay in her bed that night, and just thought. Her feelings for InuYasha were so strong, and it scared her. How was she to get over him when she felt this strongly for him?

“Muri!” she said aloud.

Indeed, it was impossible. There was no way she could forget about the golden-eyed hanyou who had stolen her heart, and wouldn’t give it back, no matter how hard she tried to get it back.

It was simply impossible.

“Kagome, look out!”

*THUMP*

Too late.

“ITAI!” Kagome exclaimed in a mixture of surprise and pain. She had been sitting on the grass against the gate, and deep in thought when the exclamation had come from InuYasha. She had barely turned her head when the shot put had made contact with her right thigh. Hard.

Koga was at her side within seconds.

“Kagome daijoubu ka?” He asked, all too close for her comfort.

“Hai, daijoubu desu,” she responded, surreptitiously sliding an inch or two away from him.

Coach Taisho walked up to her, InuYasha and Sesshoumaru on his flanks.

“Are you ok, Kagome?” He asked her, concern in his voice.

“I’m fine! Please don’t be so overly concerned. It’s nothing to worry about.” She assured, giving him a reassuring smile.

“Okay Kagome, if your sure..” he said, and smiled, satisfied when she gave him a firm nod of the head. “Okay everyone, back to practice!” And with that, he turned and walked back across the field.

InuYasha had a hint of guilt on his face. “Sorry Kagome… it slipped. I tried to warn you…”

She shot him an annoyed look. “I said I was fine. Can we please leave it at that?”

InuYasha’s face immediately lost any semblance of guilt, and he quickly shot, “Well I’m surprised, considering how dainty you are. It might’ve broken your leg or something.” And with that, he spun around and sauntered off to finish his throws, Kikyo right behind him. She had been silent throughout the whole ordeal, and so had Sesshoumaru. He didn’t hold his silence, though.

“This one apologizes for his ignorant half-breed of a brother, Higurashi-chan. He has no aim.” As he turned to walk after his father, he slyly winked at her. At the widening of her eyes and the reddening of her cheeks, he smirked and continued on. Koga had been watching this exchange with narrowed eyes, and was quick to comment on it.

“What was all that, Kagome?”

She stared at him, appalled. It she wasn’t mistaken, it had almost sounded like he thought of himself close to her. Perhaps even as her boyfriend. Which he most definitely wasn’t. So she lashed out on him, affronted.

“What’s it to you Koga? Huh? Who do you think you are to be asking such questions of me? Last time I checked, you weren’t my boyfriend, and if I have anything to say about it, its most definitely going to stay that way!” And with flames in her eyes that rivaled those of Hade, she got up and stomped over to where they were starting to stretch, leaving a very baffled and even more determined ookami youkai.

Kikyo saw Kagome approaching in a rather sour mood, and wondered what had caused it. “Kagome… is there something the matter?” she asked, concern for the younger girl in her voice.

“Oh, just a certain ookami getting on my last nerve Kikyo. I don’t understand why he won’t leave me alone!” she exclaimed, exasperation in her voice.

Kikyo was amused, much to Kagome’s displeasure. “It’s not funny, Kikyo! He keeps hounding me, and I don’t like him like that.”

“Well,” Kikyo interjected, “Have you tried telling him this?”

Kagome gave her a look that clearly stated that she had. “Only a million times!” She yelled, at her wits end.

“Oi!” Coach Taisho yelled, looking at the two onna. “Get a move on, you two! Practice started three minutes ago!”

He was pinning them with a look that clearly stated that he was in a no-nonsense mood. They both nodded their heads, and with a sharp “Hai!” from each of them, they set about to start stretching.

“I mean, Koga’s a nice guy,” Kagome said, her and Kikyo doing lunges side-by-side. “But he’s so… persistent. And he’s just not the type of guy that I want to be with right now.” She then looked away guiltily, as she spotted the guy that she did want to be with finishing off his throws, red shirt off and body glistening with the evidence of his practice. She looked away, quickly trying to dispel any thoughts and feelings towards him.

“Kagome?” Kikyo asked, “Is something the matter?”

“Huh? Oh… no Kikyo, everything’s fine. Just thinking…” she said, guilt heavily setting in.

“I see. Well then, let’s continue with our stretches, shall we?” she said with a smile.

“Hai!” Kagome said, returning a false smile.

Sesshoumaru watched Kagome and his brothers onna banter from a distance, all to captivated with the younger on the two. Her blue eyes sparkled beautifully in the late afternoon sun, and Sesshoumaru found himself entranced by them.

He didn’t understand why, but lately his mind had been clouded with thoughts of her. They would bombard him, leaving him breathless and unable to walk for awhile…

So he decided that he would interact with her. Talk to her here and there, catch her eye in the hallways. And so far, he hadn’t been disappointed. Her reactions were entertaining, if not arousing at times. The way her luscious lips would part in surprise at his advances made his heart skip a beat… not that he would admit that out loud.

So here he was, gazing at her again. And much to his pleasure, she felt his stare and turned to look, only to be met with heated golden eyes. Her cheeks flushed a wonderful pink, and she gave him a tentative smile. He was beyond captivated by this, and gave her a smile in return. Her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, and she turned away, obviously both surprised and aroused. His beast growled with satisfaction, and that’s when Sesshoumaru knew…

He had to make that onna his.
