The Boyfriend
Chapter 2
Forgetting him wasn’t easy. Apparently, she had missed a seating chart rearrangement while she was in the feudal era and he was sitting right next to her. She tried to hide the poor state of her Japanese language book from the teacher, but the students around her certainly noticed. Yukio especially gave it an interested look. The girl next to her looked horrified, but he looked amused. She flipped the pages, hoping to dry them quickly, but the teacher didn’t notice. When the bell rang, she stood and bowed as the teacher left, with the rest of the class.
“Higurashi, right?” called a baritone voice. Kagome turned, nervously, to face Yukio.
“Yes, um…”
“Yukio,” he responded. She blushed. She didn’t know him well enough to use his first name. After all, he hadn’t used hers. “You haven’t been here this week at all. Sensei said you were very ill.”
“Yes, I have leukemia,” Kagome answered unhappily. Who was this boy?
“That’s too bad. You certainly don’t look sick.”
“Um… thank you?” she responded, looking around for help. Unfortunately, Eri and Ayumi were just silently watching their exchange from across the room at Ayumi’s desk. “So, you came from Kyoto?”
“Yes,” he answered, his gaze unwavering. He kept trying to make eye contact and she kept avoiding it.
“Why did you transfer so late in the year?” Kagome asked, meeting his eyes. They were pale brown with golden and amber flecks, but they weren’t like InuYasha’s at all. This boy was totally human. Kagome relaxed a little as she realized she was suspicious about him being a youkai or hanyo. She knew there were very few still surviving in her time, but it would be just her luck to have one in her class, sensing the sacred jewel fragments around her neck.
“My father had to transfer cities because of his job. It’s not the first time and I doubt it will be the last.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Kagome said. “That must be hard for you.”
“Oh, it doesn’t really bother me. If I wanted to stay in one place, I could move in with my uncle back in Kyoto. He wouldn’t mind.” Kagome didn’t know what to say. She was feeling rather shy, suddenly, realizing that she was talking to a normal human boy her own age. Not a cursed monk or lovesick wolf or hanyo or some foolish boy on a quest or a villager with a topknot. And not Hojo, who kept offering her strange, though thoughtful gifts in such a puppy dog-like manner. No, there was nothing canine about this boy. He had more of a feline air to him, like a tiger. Kagome welcomed the change.
“So you like traveling?” Kagome asked, finally. She realized that they had been staring each other in the eye for a few minutes now and she looked away, embarrassed.
“Yes. It’s fascinating to see how people react to you when they know nothing about you.”
“Don’t you miss the friends you leave behind?”
“Who says I leave friends behind?” Yukio countered. “I can contact anyone I want to, any time I feel like it.” When Kagome didn’t say anything, he added, “That’s what phones and e-mail is for.”
“Oh, yeah,” Kagome said. When she thought of leaving friends behind, she thought of Sango, Miroku and Shippo, who she would never see again if the well stopped working.
“So,” he said, looking out the windows. “You are Hojo’s girlfriend, correct?”
“No!” Kagome protested. “Why does everyone think that?” she snapped. “Oh, I’m sorry,” she said when he drew back from her anger. He smiled and was about to say something when the bell rang. They stood when called to stand, bowed and sat back down. Kagome took out her civics book, stifling a groan. She wasn’t bad at social studies, but right now, they were at a very boring part involving mainly statistics. It was mostly review for finals, which she had already studied, knowing she would probably make it back in time.
She couldn’t help sneaking glances at Yukio. His hair needed to be brushed, his uniform was slightly too big and he didn’t take a single note the entire class. She was rather surprised. She wondered how he planned to pass the final tests. Maybe he was a genius… or maybe he didn’t care. He seemed like the kind of guy who wouldn’t care. Kagome was so interested in trying to see what Yukio was writing on his desk that she almost didn’t stand fast enough to bow to the teacher as he left. She sighed as she sat back down, cursing herself for being driven to distraction by a boy. Not that it was the first time that had happened.
“So, as I was going to say,” Yukio said, leaning back over to her. “If you’re not going out with Hojo, then you are probably free to see me this Saturday after school. Am I right?” Kagome blushed and considered the offer. It would serve InuYasha right if she went out with someone else. And the boy was fascinating. She was a little leery of him, though. He seemed like he might be a ‘bad boy’. She had definitely had enough of that with InuYasha.
“I don’t know…” Kagome said, sticking her pencil in her mouth and chewing on the end. “I don’t really know you that well.”
“Isn’t that what a date is for? To get to know one another?”
“Well, I suppose so…”
“Good. Then I shall meet you for dinner at seven.” He gave her instructions to an Italian restaurant downtown and she agreed. After she agreed, he stood up and stretched, reminding her once again of a cat, then walked across the room. The moment he was away, her friends rushed to her side.
“Kagome-chan, what were you talking about?” Eri asked.
“Did he ask you out?” Ayumi piped in.
“Yes,” Kagome answered.
“Are you going on a date with him?” Eri asked as Ayumi asked:
“What about your other guy?”
“Yes and I’m mad at him,” Kagome answered.
“Ooh, Yukio is so cute!” Eri said, peeking over at him.
“Yes, but so is Hojo,” said Ayumi. “Why aren’t you going out with him?”
“Well… to be honest, I haven’t seen him today. Yukio just happened to ask first.”
“Would you have gone out with Hojo?” Eri asked.
“I don’t know. Hojo is very sweet, but… I don’t think I like him like that. More as… just a friend,” Kagome answered. “Do you two know anything else about Yukio?”
“No,” they said together.
“Several of the girls have tried to get his attention, but he didn’t seem interested. He seems a little shy,” Ayumi said.
“Yeah, one girl asked him out and he ran away, pretending he had to get home really fast,” Eri added.
“You knew he was pretending, because before that, he was walking slow and looking bored,” Ayumi finished.
“How strange. He didn’t seem shy at all with me,” Kagome said.
“Maybe he just doesn’t like girls who flirt?” Ayumi said.
“Maybe,” Kagome said. “That would make sense.” The bell rang and Ayumi and Eri scooted quickly back to their seats. Kagome took out her math book and prepared herself to get it right this time.
To be continued…Thanks to my reviewers! I really appreciate every review I get. If you’re wondering where InuYasha is, just be patient, we’ll get to him soon!
