Chapter 14: Ditching

 

The next day Kagome wore a tight, black, Coffin Case tank top and a pair of black jeans, black Chucks, and a black Coffin Case zipper hoodie. All black. Sure, people would say she was gothic, but she didn't give a hoot. She felt depressed, and sad, and angry. She flet black, empty, and cold, so she wore what fit her mood.

 

She left her black hair down and put on her black makeup a little bit heavier then usual. She didn't want to go to school, but she wasn't going to say home with her mom. So, she went downstairs, jumped in her car, and drove to school.

 

It was really cold out, os she zipped up her hoodie and pulled up her hood. She headed into the building and was greeted with a heartbreaking sight.

 

InuYasha was playing tonsil tennis. It made Kagome's heart feel like someone ripped it out and stabbed it with a fork. Obviously, there was no chance of them breaking up.

 

She blinked rapidly and bit her lip, hard, to keep the tears from leaking. Stuffing her hands in her pockets and lowering her head, Kagome headed to a place she wouldn't see them. The band room.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Kagome arrived late to homeroom, because she didn't want to chance seeing InuYasha and Kikyo again. She grabbed the books she needed for her first to periods from her locker, and decided to leave her hoodie.

 

When Kagome entered the room, all eyes turned to her. The teacher asked if she had a late pass, and marked her tardy when she said no.

 

She was halfway to her seat when her teacher stopped her. “Higurashi, lower your hood. It's disrespectful to leave it up.” She scolded. Kagome sighed and did as she was told. Relieved she had washed off all her makeup. She had cried once she reached the band room, and her makeup ran. Now her face was clean, but her eyes were red, and puffy.

 

“Hey. We didn't think you were coming.” Ayame said when Kagome sat down.

 

“How are you feeling?” Sango asked.

 

“Worse. Reality struck, and I feel so stupid.” Kagome buried her head in her arms.

 

“Why? What's wrong?” Koga asked. He was sitting next to Ayame. Since attendance was taken long before Kagome came in, they were allowed to sit wherever they wanted.

 

“Nothing.” Kagome mumbled.

 

“Obviosly, it something. Were you crying?” Miroku asked from the seat behind her.

 

“Ugh. Is it that obvious?” Kagome whined.

 

“Sort of. Is it about Hojo?” Koga wanted to know. Kagome's head shot up, her eyes wide.

 

“Hojo! I completely forgot about him!” Kagome moaned.

 

“Kagome's in love.” Ayame told the guys.

 

“I'm guessing not with Hojo.” Miroku stated.

 

“Dude! Did you cheat on Hojo?” Koga asked.

 

“No! Umm….not technically….I guesss. Well…does a kiss count…one kiss?”

 

“Yes!” The guys yelled causing the rest of the class to look their way. Well, everyone except for InuYasha and Kikyo, who were to busy eating each other's faces off.

 

“I have to break it off with him! I have to find him! Then I'm getting the hell out of here.” Kagome said as the bell rang.

 

“Wait, your gonna ditch school? Can we join?” Sango asked.

 

“Sure. Meet me at the back door in five.” Kagome said, as she dashed out of the room, looking for Hojo. She found him leaving the library.

 

“Hojo. We need to talk.” Kagome told him and led him to a deserted hallway.

 

“What is it?” He asked.

 

“I don't think we should date anymore.” She broke the news to him. His face dropped. “We..we never spend time together.” True. They didn't. “I think we should see other people.”

 

“Why?” He asked, sinking to the floor.

 

“Because it doesn't make sense. It's not you. It's me. Actually, it is you.” Kagome told him. “You are to much of a goody goody. You don't believe in anything before marriage. Not even kissing! But it's not just you. It's me too. I gotta split. Sorry!” Kagome took off down the hall, leaving Hojo behind.

 

When she reached the backdoors she stopped. It wasn't just Ayame and Sango waiting for her, but Miroku, Koga, InuYasha, and Kikyo also. Kagome felt like screaming. She was ditching to get away from them, from him and now they were coming.

 

“So what are we going to do?” Kikyo asked, putting her hand on her hip. Well, there went all the things she had planned. No running away to Vegas and changing her age for Kagome today.

 

“Well, I'm going to leave and go home. You can do whatever you want.” Kagome answered and brushing past and walking out of the unlocked doors.

 

“I thought we were going to do something all together.” Miroku said.

 

Kagome stopped walking and turned around. She looked at everyone individually. Sango had been her friend since kindergarten. Her best friend who stuck up for her and stuck by her. One of the few people who she could really trust. She knew she would be friends with Sango for the rest of her life.

 

Ayame was her other best friend. They had met in third grade and instantly hit it off. She cared about her friends more then anything. Ayame was also one of the only people Kagome could trust.

 

Miroku was the perverted boy that had been after Sango forever. He seemed like a good friend and a good boyfriend for Sango.

 

Koga, who had had a crush on her and finally noticed Ayame. He was a really sweet guy and was pretty cool.

 

Kikyo, the girl everyone compared her to. The girl who mad darkness thrive in Kagome's heart. The girl she despised more then anyone else in the world.

 

And lastly, InuYasha, who Kagome was in love with. The boy she could never have. Her eyes lingered on him for a moment.

 

“No. I don't want to hang out. I'll catch you guys later.” Kagome walked away, got in her car and drove home.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

InuYasha watched as Kagome pulled away. He knew why she didn't want to hang out. It was because of him. He noticed how she looked at him when refused their offer.

 

She must have been mad at him. Maybe because he had gotten so mad at her, yet not at Kikyo.

 

But that was only because Kikyo didn't mix up his feelings. She was safe. He knew what he felt, before Kagome came along.

 

Now he mad out with Kikyo, trying to feel just a spark of electricity he felt when he kissed Kagome.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Kagome, what are you doing home?” Her mom asked when she came through the door.

 

“I didn't feel good.”

 

“Why, dear? Are you coming down with the flew?” Her mom hurried over and pressed her hand to Kagome's forehead.

 

“No. It's not the flew. I just feel like…..never mind.” Kagome couldn't explain it to her mom.

 

“Like what?”

 

“Like someone stole my heart, played catch with it for a while, then smashed it in the vice grip. And then shoved the remnants of it back down my throat.” Kagome explained.

 

“Kagome, are you…in love?” Her mom asked.

 

“If you wanna put a label on it.” Kagome snapped.

 

“Oh, Kagome! That's wonderful!” Her mom screamed and hugged her.

 

“No, it's not wonderful! It's tragic! It's the worst thing that has ever happened to me! Because I can't have him! Ever! He's taken! He's in love, but not with me! And I see him with her EVERYWHERE! And their all kissing and swapping spit!” Kagome collapsed into a chair.

 

“Who is it?” Mrs. Higurashi asked.

 

“It's InuYasha. Kikyo's boyfriend. She get everything mom! Friends, popularity, looks, grades, love, guys, charisma, athletic abilities, and now him! And what do I get? Two friends, the ability to play the guitar and sing. It not fair!” Kagome yelled.

 

`I get a little bit; she gets a little more,

She's Miss America, and I'm just the girl next door.'

Happy Turkey Day Everyone! I wont be able to update this afternoon, but maybe late tonight. But I'm not promising anything.

 

Ashie/Kogas Gurl/Maybe Jam: How many names do u have. I got mad cuz I thought u were threatening the reviewer people. You got to admit, threatening people u don't know is really insane. I didn't say u couldn't review anymore. I just said not every 5 minutes. Cuz if I'm writin something it takes the clicker off my thing, and sometimes the thing goes crazy. Like last night. We really shouldn't fight cuz we got 2 see each other at Grams today and if we are at each others throats, or not talking then we r going to get a talking to like normally. We probably will anyway for ignoring the little kids. So yeah. Friends/Cousins?
