InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Somewhere in Her Memory ❯ Welcome to Her Life ( Chapter 2 )

RAINnFIRE: Welcome back, you guys. Hope you like the revised version so far. (I had this done Monday, actually, sorry. I sort of…erm…forgot. : sweat drop:

 

Disclaimer: So…yeah. Inuyasha…I don't own it. (How depressing. Really it is.)

 

 

Last time on…Dang, what the story's name again?

 

“Feh. Fine. I don't want you here, anyway. Go home, you stupid wench.” He crossed his arms and looked away.

 

Kagome tried to pretend that her heart didn't just shatter and decided to just get it over with. “I love you, Inuyasha.” she whispered. Then she kissed him quickly and removed his necklace, before he could react. Dropping the necklace next to him, she stepped back. “I'm gonna miss you guys.” She said as she wiped a tear away. Then she held the jewel firmly and made her wish. A bright light started to shine.

 

“Kagome.” Inuyasha whispered when he recovered from the shock of her words…and her kiss. He reached out to her and saw her become enveloped in the light and then disappear along with the jewel. “Kagomeee!”

Chapter 1: Welcome to Her Life

 

Kagome was running late again. `This is so unfair!' She thought shutting her locker and power-walking down the hall. `All of my classes are on the other side of the building. How do they expect me to get there in five minutes? While walking!?' She sped around a corner and bumped into someone, sending her backpack sailing straight to the floor.

 

“Darn it!” She grabbed her book bag without looking up. “Sorry.”

 

“Geez. Watch where you're going, wench.”

 

“On second thought, I take back my apology.” She muttered, realizing who it was.

 

He had heard her. “Listen you little-”

 

“Hey, Inuyasha!” He turned around.

 

Kagome ran away and reached her class just as the bell rang.

 

“Tajiya, Sango.”

 

"Here."

 

Kagome sat at her desk behind her best friend Sango.

 

Higurashi, Kagome."

 

"Here." She said, breathlessly.

 

Sango passed her a note. Why'd you have to be late? I needed to copy your homework.

 

Kagome sighed. That jerk Inuyasha got in my way. Anyway, if you don't do your homework on your own, you'll never learn anything. She passed the note back to Sango.

 

Sango shrugged. He's not that bad.

 

Maybe not to you. She replied.

 

Kagome tried hard to stay awake, but fell asleep half way through the class. She had no idea why she was so tired. She had gone to bed early last night.

 

*S*I*H*M*

 

Inuyasha had been running down the hallway, trying to get away from his girlfriend, Kikyo for the past minute. `Damn. Why couldn't she have just stayed in hell? Why did I even get together with her in the first place? I should be with Kagome.'

 

“Inuyasha! Where'd you go?!” Her voice echoed from down the hall. He quickly turned the corner and bumped into someone. `Speak of the devil.' He thought.

 

"Sorry." Kagome said.

 

His pride got the better of him. "Geez. Watch where you're going, wench."

 

“On second thought, I take back my apology.” He heard her mumble.

 

“Listen you little-” He began, but was interrupted.

 

“Hey Inuyasha!” He turned around to see Miroku coming up to him and turned back to Kagome, but she had run away.

 

“Hey Inuyasha. What's poppin?” He said walking up.

 

`Damn that Miroku.' He thought with a growl and hit Miroku on the back of his head. “Baka! I was talking to Kagome.”

 

“Inuyasha! Where are you, baby?” He heard Kikyo call and hid behind a door.

 

“Why must you wound me so?” Miroku asked and rubbed his head when Kikyo was finally out of sight. “Do you have to be so rough? If you love, pardon me, like Kagome, you should just tell her. It would be a lot better than hanging out with that…thing over there.” He shuddered. “I think I like the dirt and bones Kikyo better. You know the one who fed on the souls of dead women to stay alive.”

 

“Feh.” Inuyasha crossed his arms. “You know that I'm only with Kikyo because it helps my rep and it helps keep the other girls away. Like I would waste my time on that wench, Kagome, anyway. She doesn't even remember me.” He started walking to class.

 

Miroku caught up to him. "Now Inuyasha, You know as well as I do why Kagome doesn't remember you. Did you know that it could have been worse? She could have died, Inuyasha. You should be grate-”

 

“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get the picture.” He feh'd and walked into his classroom.

 

“Mr. Taisho. Mr. Houshi. You're late again. Next time, it's a detention.” The teacher said sternly.

 

“Hai, sensei.” They both said and went to their seats. Inuyasha sat by Miroku at the back and five minutes later, he fell asleep with his head on the desk.

 

*S*I*H*M*

 

Kagome got her lunch and was looking around the lunchroom for Sango.

 

“Hey Kagome.” Hojo came running up.

 

Kagome groaned inwardly. `It's always so awkward talking to him. He's just so…eager. And I just don't feel the same way.' She put on a fake smile. "Hi Hojo."

 

He held out a brown paper bag. Kagome looked at it questioningly.

 

“It's for your bunions. It's the best medicine out there.” He said cheerfully.

 

`Why does Hojo think I have bunions? Ooh that jerk, Inuyasha. I bet he's behind this. When I get my hands on him.' She gave Hojo another fake smile and took the paper bag with her free hand. “Gee. Thanks.” A few seconds passed by. `Why is he still standing here?'

 

“Do you know how tomorrow is the last day of school?” He started nervously. “I was thinking that maybe we could go see a movie or something. You know to celebrate our freedom.”

 

“I'm sorry Hojo, but I can't. Tomorrow's Souta's birthday and we're going away for the weekend.” She lied. `Stupid Eri, telling him that I like him. Now he won't leave me alone.'

 

He looked crestfallen. Then cheered up. “Well maybe when you get back then? I know where you're shrine is.”

 

“I really have to go, Hojo.” She said and practically ran outside, dumping the medicine bag on the way. She saw Sango sitting under a large oak tree and went to join her. “How can you eat under a tree? They're ants everywhere. And they're always trying to crawl in all those places that you don't want them to crawl into.” She shivered.

 

Sango laughed and shrugged. “I don't know. I guess I'm used to it. What's the matter? Did you run into Inuyasha again?”

 

“Ugh. Don't remind me of him. This was worse. Hojo just asked me out again. And he gave me medicine for my bunions.”

 

Sango's eyebrows furrowed. “I didn't know you had bunions.”

 

“It's news to me too, Sango. And you know what? I know just who told him that I did.” Kagome said, taking a harsh bite out of her apple.

 

“Who do you think it is?” She questioned.

 

“I know it's Inuyasha. Who else would stoop as low as to say I had bunions! Of all things!”

 

“Hm…Well, did you say yes this time? To the date, I mean.” Sango said after she finished her salad.

 

“No. I told him it was Souta's birthday and we were going away.”

 

Sango giggled. “Well, at least you won't have to see him again after this year. And as for Inuyasha, he's really not that bad.”

 

“Who's really not that bad?” Miroku sat down and put his arm around Sango.

 

“Your little dog of a friend. He really lives up to that name of his. Inu-TRASHA.” Kagome said and took another harsh bite out of her apple.

 

“Oh Kagome. I wish you wouldn't say that. He's one of my best friends. You never seemed to hate him back in-”

 

“Miroku!” Sango jumped on top of him and gave him a full blown kiss to stop him from saying everything that he wasn't supposed to say. “Has anyone ever told you that you talk way too much?” She dragged him away.

 

“Wow, Sango. If I knew that this was the reaction I'd get, I would talk too much a lot more often. See you later, I guess!” He called back to Kagome, happily.

 

Kagome blinked. “Well that was odd.” She said while getting up to throw away her trash.

 

“Kagome!” She heard someone screech.

 

“Kikyo. What a surprise.” She said with fake enthusiasm.

 

“Have you seen Inuyasha? I saw him come over this way earlier.”

 

“No. I haven't seen him all day. Except for that time when he bumped in-”

 

“Oh yeah, that's right. He doesn't hang out with you.” Kikyo cut her off, giving her a disdainful look. “Oh silly me. Well anyway, when you see that clown he hangs around with tell him to tell Inuyasha that I'm breaking up with him. You know with me going to college I wouldn't wanna be stuck with Inuyasha. And cheating just isn't my style.”

 

“Shouldn't you tell Inuyasha yourself?”

 

Kikyo let out a laugh and gave her a pat on the shoulder. “Oh my poor, naive Kagome, if you ever get a boyfriend, you'll understand.” She said and left.

 

Kagome was fuming. “Kami, I hate her! I wish she'd just die and go to hell and take Inuyasha and all my other problems with her.” She said, not realizing the irony of her statement.

 

*S*I*H*M*

 

Inuyasha headed over to the tree that Sango usually sat over for lunch. He preferred eating in the tree as it reminded him of the Feudal Era. He jumped onto the first branch and hopped about a quarter of a way up the tree to his favorite perch. After a while, Sango sat down under the tree, oblivious to the fact that he was in the tree. The same went for Kagome when she joined her. He growled when he heard that Hojo asked her out. `Why the hell am I growling? I have Kikyo now. Sure, she's nothing like the Kikyo I loved, but she gets the job done.'

 

“…And he gave me medicine for my bunions.” He heard Kagome say.

 

`I didn't know she had bunions.'

 

“I didn't know you had bunions.” Sango said.

 

`Oh. Her grandfather probably said that, but bunions? Of all things! Why'd he have to say bunions?' He thought then went back to listening to the conversation.

 

“It's news to me too, Sango. And you know what? I know just who told him that I did.” He saw her mutilating the apple. `Geez. Don't kill the apple, Kagome. It's not the one who said you had bunions.'

 

“Who do you think it is?” Sango questioned.

 

“I know it's Inuyasha. Who else would stoop as low as to say I had bunions! Of all things!”

 

Inuyasha had to bite his arm to keep from protesting. `It was not me. It could have been Kikyo for all she knows.'

 

He tuned out the conversation watched a few of the other kids that were outside at the moment. An all too familiar voice drew him back to the scene below.

 

“Kagome!” He heard Kikyo say.

 

“Kikyo. What a surprise.”

 

By the end of their conversation a feeling of anger, sadness, and relief washed over him. Relief, because Kikyo got on his nerves. Anger and sadness, because this was the second time that she had managed to make him feel like shit. He waited until Kagome left and let out a long growl. He sighed and leapt out of the tree. `Well, I guess that it's time to break up with Kikyo.'
