The Boyfriend

Chapter 6
The date had run longer than she expected and while it was still not after nine when she got back to the shrine, it had been night long enough she knew InuYasha might have already transformed. She ran to fill her bag, having told Yukio she had doctor tests for the next few days and might miss school. He had asked if she wanted him to visit after school, but she told him it was out of town. She told her grandfather the same thing so that he wouldn�t contradict her story to her friends.
She was about to jump down the well when Yukio stepped into the well house behind her. She froze, one knee on the well and her backpack slung over her shoulders nearly unbalancing her.
�What are you doing?� he asked. Kagome looked down the well and slid back to the ground, trying to think of an excuse for her behavior.
�What are you doing here?� she asked back, deciding to evade the question. He held out her purse and she blushed.
�You left it at the restaurant when you left so quickly,� he said. �I saw you running here and just wanted to give it back. Were you going to jump down in that old well?�
�I� uh� thought I dropped my purse down there,� she finished lamely. His eyes narrowed.
�I think that�s the first time you�ve ever lied to me,� he said. Kagome�s heart sped up. He walked up next to her and she took the purse from him, feeling guilty. He glanced down the well and she had an idea.
�Well, it�s silly,� she said.
�What is?� he asked.
�I wasn�t going to jump, I was going to climb down,� she said, tugging on the ladder. �It�s where I go when I want to think and be alone.�
�You�re lying again.� He said. �Please stop that.�
�Huh? How can you tell?� Kagome asked.
�I can always tell when I�m being lied to by someone I know,� he said. �I dated a pathological liar for six months, remember? It taught me what to look for.�
�Oh,� she said. She wasn�t angry at being caught lying. �You can�t tell anyone,� she said, making a decision.
�I do not tell secrets,� Yukio responded, looking vaguely insulted.
�This isn�t just an ordinary well,� she told him. �It�s a portal, to feudal Japan.� She looked him in the eye and dared him to call her a liar now.
�I see,� he said looking down it again. �So if I were to jump in��
�Nothing would happen,� she said. �I�m the only one who can go through.�
�Why?� he asked.
�I�m not sure,� she answered. �Souta tried once and couldn�t get through. It may have something to do with my being the reincarnation of a priestess who lived fifty years before the time it drops me in.�
�So that�s where you go when you�re supposed to be sick,� he said.
�You believe me?� she asked. His eyes slid over to her.
�Of course,� he said. �I knew you weren�t sick. There is no sign of illness beyond your disappearances. Quite the contrary, you always look very healthy all the time.� He turned to face her. �I assumed there had to be something very strange happening if your family was lying for you as well.�
�I always wonder why no one notices,� Kagome said.
�Is that where your other boyfriend is?� he asked.
�He�s not my boyfriend!� she protested angrily. �I told you, I never went out with him because he�s a jerk who always treats me bad.�
�Why does your little brother know him, then?�
�He can go through the well. He�s the only one from the other time who can.� Kagome answered.
�And I assume you don�t know why he can, either.�
�No,� Kagome said.
�Why were you rushing back?� he asked and Kagome looked outside.
�Because I said I�d be back as soon as my date was over,� she said.
�What do you do there?� he asked.
�Search for shikon no kakera and try to hunt this horrible youkai called Naraku,� she answered, both nervous about what she was saying and relieved as well.
�Shards?� he asked. �The shikon no tama was broken?�
�You�ve heard of it?� Kagome asked.
�I told you that I�ve read thousands of books. I suppose I should have mentioned that many of them were scrolls.�
�Well, yeah, it was. And� I�m the one who broke it,� she said, embarrassed. He looked at her, raising an eyebrow. �It was an accident! And that�s why I have to go back�we have to fix it.�
�Then you should return,� he said. �May I watch?�
�I guess,� she said, slinging her leg across the lip of the well. He leaned in and kissed her.
�For luck,� he said as he pulled back. �Safe journey.�
�Thank you,� she whispered. �I�ll see you later.� She let go of the well and floated for a few moments before she touched down on the other side, wondering if it was a good idea for her to tell him. �Well, what�s done is done,� she thought. She pulled herself out of the well and went looking for InuYasha. It didn�t take long for her to find everyone sitting around the campfire, except InuYasha. He was sitting off by himself on a cliff. So she waved at her friends, who waved sleepily back and trotted over to him.
�Hi,� she said as she approached.
�What are you doing back?� he asked without turning around. She sat next to him. He turned so she couldn�t see his face and she was left staring at his black hair.
�I just had to go back for my date. I told him I wouldn�t be back for several days,� Kagome answered.
�Why bother coming back tonight? You could have waited until morning.� InuYasha�s voice sounded strange and Kagome wanted to see his face. She glanced back at the fire to see that Shippo was curled up asleep against Kirara, then wrapped her arms around her knees and looked out at the moonless night sky.
�Did you not want me to come back?� Kagome asked.
�What do you care what I want?� he asked. Kagome saw his shoulders were trembling and she debated going to the fire against staying and talking. She had a feeling it was way too soon for him to be okay with her dating someone else.
�If it was going to bother you for me to date someone, why didn�t you ever ask me to be your girlfriend?� she blurted.
�Leave me alone,� he whispered. �Just go away. I don�t care where. I don�t want to see you tonight,� he said, his voice deep and rough. Kagome�s heart was screaming at her.
�Yes, you like Yukio. Yes, he�s fun to kiss. But you don�t feel like this around him! If he ever said something like this, you would dump him and move on. But InuYasha said it, so�� Kagome tried to ignore her mind, but it was too loud and persistent. �Damn you,� she hissed at InuYasha, then rose to her feet and ran back down the hill. She stopped at the campfire and sat down next to Sango, wiping her eyes impatiently.
�Are you okay, Kagome-chan?� Sango asked. Kagome shook her head and buried her face against her knees.
�I just need some sleep,� she whispered.
�Why are you seeing someone else, Kagome?� Miroku asked.
�I don�t want to talk about it,� Kagome said, rolling onto her side. �I�ve had this conversation enough times with Souta. He hasn�t spoken to me more than he had to since I started dating Yukio. I shouldn�t have to explain myself! It�s not like InuYasha�s ever�� Kagome hiccoughed. She held her breath until the sob passed, squeezing her eyes closed tightly. �Yukio is my first boyfriend,� she said firmly. �I shouldn�t have to explain why I�m seeing him.�
�Forgive me, Kagome, but we only learned of him today. I am merely curious,� Miroku responded, sounding a little offended.
�I�m sorry, Miroku,� Kagome said, not moving from her ball on the ground. �You�re right, I shouldn�t snap at you.� She was quiet for a few minutes. �I�m seeing him because he asked. Because he listens when I talk and he doesn�t call me stupid or unattractive and he treats me� like I matter.� No one said anything to Kagome�s words, but she knew they heard. She knew they understood. She even knew that InuYasha was standing right next to her, listening.
She just didn�t know if he really cared.
