*Chapter Three: Just Like Him*


I watched him wave back at me as he walked to his house. I can't deny it anymore. He's exactly like Inu Yasha! Why!? This only makes me feel worse. But, I can't seem to stay away from him. To just be next to him feels so natural. I went back into the house. Mom asks, "So, who is this Inu Yasha boy?" She thinks he's my boyfriend. Oh God, just like every other guy I become associated with. "Mom, don't get any ideas. No, he's not my boyfriend. He moved in next door and we have our classes together. Okay?" Mom said, "He is just like Inu Yasha from the Feudal Era. Looks, voice, and a slight attitude. He even has the same name! Speaking of, How come you never go to the world beyond the well anymore?" I turned away and closed my eyes, "I don't feel like it." Mom came up to me, "What's wrong honey? Did something happen? Were you hurt?"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started crying uncontrollably. Just like how I cried myself to sleep every single night since that day. Mom hugged me, "Oh my goodness! Kagome, what happened!? You can tell me!" "They're gone! All of them!" Mom gasped and put her hand over her mouth, "Oh dear. You mean..." I nodded, "Naraku killed them. Inu Yasha saved me and he died! Now, there's nobody left to save the world. Naraku will destroy the past and ruin the present!" Mom hugged me tighter, "Oh Kagome, why didn't you say so sooner? Were you hurt at all? Isn't there anybody else?" I just kept crying, "Kaede, Kouga, Jinenji, Shiori... I can't do anything for them! Soon they'll all be destroyed by Naraku!"

Mom let me sleep in her room with her that night. I was so upset. I couldn't be alone. But all night I thought about Inu Yasha. Both of them, past and present. I mean, now Inu Yasha is really cool. He's strong and really intimidating like Inu Yasha from the past. But... no.... it can't be. No. No way in hell. I fell asleep.

I got up five minutes before the alarm went off. Mom asked me if I wanted to stay home. Probably because I caused such a scene last night. But I decided to go. Inu Yasha is still new. I got ready for school and went outside. There was Inu Yasha, standing by the Goshinboku (God Tree), waiting for me. I called out, "Hey!" He looked away from the tree and smiled, "Kagome! Ready for school?" "Yeah. Let's go." We started walking down the steps of the shrine when I said, "Inu Yasha, do you believe in reincarnations?" He stopped, "I never really thought about it. Why?" I shrugged, "Just wondering."

We got to school and went to math again. Same old stuff from last year. More basic algebra, as usual. I put my head on the desk to rest up for the rest of the boring school day. Then I heard something land next to my head. I looked at it. A... paper football? I glanced at Inu Yasha. He was obviously pretending to take notes. I smiled and opened the note. It said:

Kagome,
Hey, I gotta talk to you later.
I thought about the whole reincarnation thing you were talking about.
So, yea, at lunch I gotta see ya.
~Inu Yasha

I gasped. Inu Yasha and a few other people around me looked at me. I blushed and looked back down at my notebooks. Everybody else turned away except for Inu Yasha. He was waiting. I nodded and he grinned. He smiles like a little boy. Sometimes he reminds me of Souta. Oh great, now I'm thinking about the past Inu Yasha.

When science was over I went to my locker. All through class I was thinking about Inu Yasha from the past. I miss him so much. I never realized how important he was to me. I shouldn't have 'sat' him so many times. And I should have told him how I felt. Wait... Maybe he died because... Kikyo. No. He risked and lost his life in order to save mine. I threw my books in my locker and closed it. There was Inu Yasha. "Hey." "Hey." Then we went to lunch. He is so much like Inu Yasha in appearance. But this Inu Yasha seems so polite all the time.

"Kagome?" I snapped out of my trance. Inu Yasha looked at me, "Are you okay? You're all spaced out." I said, "Yeah. I'm just thinking." Inu Yasha turned away, "Oh. So yeah, about the whole reincarnation thing. It's possible, I guess. I mean, my Grandpa keeps on telling me that I'm a reincarnation, but, I never really believed him. But who knows? Maybe one day, if I really am the reincarnation of that other Inu Yasha guy from the past, whoever he is, I'll remember my past life!" I smiled at him, "Well, what if I were to tell you that I'm supposed to be a reincarnation as well?" "Really? Cool." "Yeah. I'm supposed to be the reincarnation of a priestess called Kikyo. And I never remember being her at all. But everybody says I only look like her, but I don't act like her at all." He gave me a curious look, "Hmmm?" I gasped, "Oh, ummm... according to paintings and history books and stuff. Hehe."

We went outside again. The annoying kids from yesterday were keeping their distance though. It was pretty funny. Too bad there wasn't much to talk about. "So... Inu Yasha, where did you move from?" He thought for a minute, "Well, I move around a lot. Grandpa doesn't like staying in one place too long. But I'll be eighteen in a few months and so I'm planning on staying somewhere. I like it here though I guess." "Oh... So you'll stay here if your Grandpa plans on moving again?" "Yep. I mean, everywhere else I go, nobody accepts me. You know, you're the only person who actually talked to me like this. I never had a real friends before. So, I never knew how to make new friends. I don't want to mess up, otherwise, you won't want to be my friend..." Oh my God. That was... so sad. Maybe he really is Inu Yasha's reincarnation. Nobody liked him before I met him either. Oh, what am I saying? I shouldn't say he's his reincarnation so soon. I took his hand and looked into his eyes, "Don't worry. You can make some friends. I'll help you. I mean, I know I haven't got any friends, but that's only because I haven't tried to make any friends since school started. But, if you really want more friends, I'll try hard to help you." He looked back at me with a sad expression, "I'm just glad that you wanted to be my friend."

Wow. He was really starting to freak me out. Yesterday he was the big tough guy scaring all the kids away, and now... he's so upset. I had to hold back from crying. Then he got up, "We'd better get to class." So I got up and followed him. We didn't talk. Maybe he was still thinking. Did he want more friends? Or... does he want only me to be his friend? I got my books and we went to class. We didn't talk until we got out of school.

We walked down the sidewalk to pick up Souta. Mom always sends me to pick him up from school, so, I guess I have to do it. The walk to the Elementary School took us only a few minutes. When we got there, Souta ran up to us, "Hey sis! Who's he?" I smiled sadly, "This is Inu Yasha." Souta's eyes got big, "Inu Yasha!? You mean-" "Shush Souta. You talk to much." "But- Oh fine." He crossed his arms angrily." Inu Yasha grinned at him and kneeled down next to him. He was pretty tall even when he was kneeling! He looked at Souta, "Souta, is it? What's up?" Souta unfolded his arms, "Nothing really. You go to Kagome's school?" Inu Yasha said, "Yep. I just moved here yesterday. I live next door to you guys." Souta smiled, "Cool! Can I come over sometime!?" I whacked the back of Souta's head with my bag, "Don't be rude, Souta. You aren't supposed to just invite yourself over somebody else's house." Souta started to grumble angrily. It's so funny how he always does that. Inu Yasha started to mess up Souta's hair, "Anytime Souta." Souta's little fit of anger just ended, "Yeah!"

"Souta, go inside. I have to talk to Inu Yasha." Souta started walking towards the house, waving goodbye to Inu Yasha. When I was sure Souta had gone inside I turned to Inu Yasha, "Are you okay Inu Yasha? You seemed really upset today." Inu Yasha tilted his head to the side, "Heh?" After a moment he nodded, "Oh. Yeah that. Um, it's just that, I've never been treated like this by somebody before. Nobody ever really cared about me, not counting my grandpa. I was just remembering some of my past and stuff. Sorry if I made you worry..." Oh no. I think I'm going to cry now. This is just like that time Inu Yasha told me about his past. How he never fit in. I ran up to Inu Yasha and before I knew it, I was hugging him. I heard him gasp, and I felt him get tensed up. Then he relaxed and I felt him put his arms around my back, "I'm sorry I made you sad. Just don't worry about me, please." Okay, now the tears came. I held him tighter, "You're not alone anymore..."

A little while later Inu Yasha left. I stayed outside. I wanted to get some fresh air before I went inside. Otherwise Mom would be all over me asking if I was crying. It's just unbelievable. This Inu Yasha is so much like the Inu Yasha from the past. I just hope he'll be alright. It's just, the Inu Yasha from the past suffered so much pain in his past and throughout our journey together. And if this Inu Yasha truly is his reincarnation, he will be led to follow the same path of pain and misery.


*End Chapter Three*


InvincibleInuYasha: How was it? Sorry, I don't really like to write from Kagome's PoV. I just don't know what it would be like. And it's probably because I love Inu Yasha so much that I'm able to write his PoV better. Oh well, review! Ja ne!
