InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Girl Next Door ❯ Bells and Food ( Chapter 4 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Kagome stared at herself in the mirror. She sighed as she saw the blubber that was her stomach. Poking it she frowned. Why did she, out of all the girls in the school have to

have blubber? Okay so maybe she wasn't the only one, but she sure felt like it. Whatever

Kagome did, she would still always be disappointed. Sometimes it would go away, but then most of the time, it would still be there. Whatever she ate, it would show on her stomach.

Taking a sweatshirt stepped outside her room and began walking downstairs. She began to put it on as she slowly started going down the stairs. Souta was already down there eating his waffles with maple syrup. Just smelling the food got Kagome hungry. She slowly started to drool as she made her way to the table. Souta saw this and snickered.

“ Kagome,” he said, “ what did mom say about drooling at the table?” he asked. Kagome then gave him an evil stare.

“Shut it, fool” she muttered. Her stomach grumbled in dissatisfaction that it was getting any food. She then started to consume her food.

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;………

It had been a total of three months since that fateful encounter with Inuyasha. Since then, they've actually grown to be close friends. Miroku was soon included. Kagome however soon discovered Miroku's sly ways, and did her best to stay away from him. Inuyasha though was another story. He would come over her house, and raid her cabinets only to try and find the ramen. She had tried so many times to hide it, but his nose would always pick it up. `Damn him and his nose' she thought to herself.

Where ever she was in the school though, Inuyasha would always find her. They would walk together to class and everything. People even started rumors that they were going out. But of course, Kagome and Inuyasha both denied it. And it was just a rumor. They seemed more like friends than lovers. But that's what Inuyasha thought. Kagome recently however formed a small crush on Inuyasha. She always dismissed it whenever it was brought up in her mind.

When she sleeps at night she would sometimes dream about him and her, somewhere quiet. He would say something, then she would just nodded. Next thing she knew, he would lean in….and the alarm would ring.

“That damn alarm clock.” muttered Kagome. She thought more about him on her way to school, and as if he was on cue, there stood Inuyasha waiting for her at the gate.

“ Took you long enough,” he told her. She just smiled and continued walking. She would rather daydream than listen to his complaints in the morning. Inuyasha grinned at that smile.

That one smile; Her smile.

Inuyasha loved that thing about her the most. Ever since he met her, the only thing that could calm his nerves or just make him relax was her smile. She could light up a room with that smile. Inuyasha followed her to her locker.

“ So Ka-go-me,” he started, Inuyasha knew that she got annoyed whenever he pronounced ever little syllable of her name.

“Yes, Inu-ya-sha?” she stated back. Sticking out her tongue she turned away from him and began to put things away in her locker.

“Not funny woman,” he replied as she began to giggle.

“Well, if it wasn't funny then why'd you start it?” she asked him, still not looking at him.

“ Because you love it” he said with a pout. She turned at looked at him, trying not to fall for the infamous pout that Inuyasha gave.

“ Stop! I won't fall for that” she said trying to cover her eyes. She quickly turned back to her locker and finished putting her book in. She turned around and stuck her tongue out at him again.

“You better watch your tongue woman, or I'll find some use for it,” replied Inuyasha with a smirk. Kagome immediately blushed and began to walk away.

“ Baka,” she muttered, still a bit red. Inuyasha however was laughing like a madman. People in the background were wondering what was going on. Running up to her he apologized.

“Ahahaha, I'm sorry Kagome. I couldn't help myself,” he replied taking an arm and wrapping it around her shoulder, only causing Kagome to blush even further. She didn't say anything for the rest of the walk, and neither did Inuyasha.

When they reached Kagome's class door, Inuyasha still had his hand on her shoulder. Kagome gave him a look, which he obviously ignored.

“ You can let go of me now, Inu” she stated. Inuyasha however wasn't paying attention. He looked at her, and just kept looking.

“Inu” she began. Kagome was starting to get a bit nervous. “ Um…are you okay?” she asked him.

Inuyasha moved closer, bring her face just as closer. Kagome's heart raced. His lips parted a bit as he leaned in further, closer, every second…….RIINNNGGGGGGGG.

The bell rang. Using that as an excuse she ran into the classroom. Leaving Inuyasha there to stand in the dust.

“ Damn..” he muttered as he ran his hand through his hair. Smiling just a bit, he ran to his class, knowing what the teacher had in store for him.

Kagome, throughout the day kept thinking about that moment. She blushed every time she thought about the ending.

“ Inuyasha your such a tart,” she said to herself.

“Who's a tart?” asked a voice from beside her. Turning around she saw Miroku with a tennis ball in his hand.

Kagome sighed in relief thanking God that it wasn't Inuyasha.

“ Oh, no one,” she replied. Miroku gave her a funny look.

” You my dear are a funny little girl.”

Miroku was in the theater business at the school. He had been the lead role in many of the play, or he says. Many of his `fan' girls however backed him up on the issue. He was Romeo, Macbeth, Hamlet, in the Shakespearean plays, and also did productions such as The Music Man, and others. The way he said things, was probably why many girls were in love with him.

“ Yo Kags, have you see Inuyasha anywhere?” he asked randomly. She was about to reply when Inuyasha appeared behind him.

“ Whatcha want perv?” he asked him. Miroku looked hurt.

“Ouch Inu,” Miroku began.

“ That really hurt” finished Inuyasha with a mocking tone. Kagome laughed at this while Miroku just glared. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smirked. Kagome, noticing this quickly shut up.

Trying to think of any excuse she could find, she said that she was going to go and get some lunch, and that she would meet them up. She left, before Inuyasha could say anything.

By the time Kagome got her lunch, she noticed that the guys were already sitting down consuming their food. Inuyasha had a bowl full of ramen, while Miroku ate some burgers with fries. Kagome on the other hand, though against her own will, got herself a salad. She needed to lose the weight, or so she thought.

Reaching the table, she sat across from Inuyasha and Miroku and stared at her plate. Groaning she began to pick at the lettuce. Inuyasha and Miroku glanced at each other.

“ Umm…Kags?...” asked Miroku.

“What are you doing?” finished Inuyasha. Kagome looked at them.

“ What do you guys always finish each other sentences?” she asked. “ If you'd like to know, I'm eating a salad…a….healthy…salad.” she said, regretting that she ever took it.

“Why?” asked Inuyasha, something he knew in the future he shouldn't be asking.

Kagome looked at him, as if it was obvious.

“Cause I'm fat” she stated as a matter of factly. Inuyasha and Miroku bursted out laughing.

“BWUAHAHAHA” they laughed. Kagome felt so embarrassed. This is why she needed some girl friends in the school.

“Its not funny!” she yelled at them, throwing a piece of bread at them. Wiping the tears away from their eyes, they moved closer to Kagome. Miroku started to pull on her cheek, while Inuyasha poked her stomach.

“ Hmm..” stated Miroku, “ I do see some fat on your face.”

Inuyasha nodded in response, “Your right Miroku. I can feel something jiggling here” he said trying to stifle a laugh. Kagome felt horrible. She put her hands up to her face and started to cry a bit. Kagome was always very sensitive about her weight. Sensing a huge problem here, they both began to comfort her.

“ Aww Kags don't cry” Miroku said. Inuyasha was panicking a bit. He hated when girls cried.

“ I told you I was fat!” she said through her tears. Just then Inuyasha pulled her into a hug, causing Kagome to blush again.

“Don't let anyone tell you that,” he said to her. “ Your not fat” he said. Miroku rubbed her hair a bit.

“ Yea Kags, we all know that your just…plump” replied Miroku, sending both of them into a fit of laughs again. Kagome just sat there with an angry pout.

“ We're just messing with you” said Miroku. He gave her some of his fries and Inuyasha gave her some of his cookies.

“ Here shrimp, eat” Inuyasha said. Wiping away the tears, she smiled happily and began to eat. And there sat the trio, eating happily.
