The Boyfriend

Chapter 7
Their relationship was very strained over the next few weeks. Twice, InuYasha lifted Kagome onto his back to simply drop her after a few steps, as if remembering she was wearing something dirty. Kagome fought several urges to embrace InuYasha or take his hand. Her feelings for Yukio didn�t grow any, even when she saw the great grades she made by studying with him. He was someone who could give her a future, someone who never made her cry, listened to her and didn�t moon over lost love. But there was something missing�
InuYasha became more distant and cold with her, rather than moving on. Several times, he ran off on his own and nearly got killed after she came back from a date. Vacation had started for her and she spent more time in the feudal era than her own time. She came back for dates with Yukio and to enroll in high school. She tried to explain to everyone that high school wasn�t free and she would have to have better attendance than she had in middle school, but InuYasha scoffed and said she was just making excuses to spend more time with her boyfriend.
Finally, one day, it all came crashing down. She had been getting pressured from Yukio to celebrate her sixteenth birthday with him by taking the last step in the relationship. She kept trying to explain that sixteen was still too young, but her body kept telling her differently. It didn�t help when she was hanging out with Ayumi, Eri and Yuka and Ayumi confessed that she had gone all the way the night before. They had all been shocked, since Ayumi was the youngest of them, having only just celebrated her fifteenth birthday. But she was also the most romantic and was very certain she had found �the one.� Kagome seriously doubted it, but didn�t burst her friend�s bubble.
In the feudal era, InuYasha was excluding her left and right and one day, when Koga dropped by to see how she was doing, he walked away and dropped a comment that finally made Kagome understand what he had been thinking.
�Forget it Wimpy Wolf, even I�m not human enough for her. She�s got some mortal boy in her own world for that.� InuYasha didn�t look back as he said these words, but Kagome heard the tone. It was the same one he had used when he told her to leave him alone on his human night.
�Is that why he thinks I�m going out with Yukio?� Kagome wondered.
�Is that true, Kagome?� Koga asked. �You have� another boyfriend?� He looked hurt, too, as he stepped back, dropping her hand.
�What are you talking about?� Kagome yelled at InuYasha�s back. �It has nothing to do with you being human or not!� Kagome turned to Koga. �Excuse me, Koga-kun, but I need to talk to InuYasha� alone,� she stared around at everyone, her blood boiling with her own hurt and anger. She had never forgotten why she started dating Yukio in the first place. Everyone gave them privacy, but InuYasha tried to walk away. �Where are you going?� Kagome demanded.
�I don�t want to talk to you,� he replied.
�Well that�s too bad, because I want to talk to you!�
�Leave me alone,� InuYasha said, and then crouched to leap away. The moment his feet left the ground, Kagome used the word she had avoided for two and a half weeks.
�Osuwari.� Kagome watched InuYasha slam face first into the ground.
�Damnit, why did you do that?�
�Because you�re not listening to me!�
�I told you that I don�t want to talk!�
�Do you really care so little about me?� Kagome demanded. �Because you keep saying you don�t care about me, but then you treat me like I�m dirty when I start seeing someone else. I only started dating him because you made me feel like all I was good for was hunting jewel shards!� InuYasha said nothing, but pulled himself to his feet and kept his back to her. �I kept waiting for you to say one kind word to me. One thing that let me know you wanted me and not just the damn shikon no tama!� InuYasha turned when she cursed.
�Well it�s too bad that it�s the jewel I want, then, isn�t it?� InuYasha said. Kagome closed the distance between them and slapped him. He touched his cheek in pain and she buried her face in her hands, trying to stop the tears that were forcing their way down her cheeks. She saw his expression soften and she turned away. She refused to let her tears turn the argument, but she couldn�t get them to stop falling. His hand wrapped around her upper arm and he pulled her around roughly, shaking her hands away from her face.
�Why don�t you care?� Kagome whispered. �Don�t you know that I care about you?�
�Kagome��
�Everything I�ve done was for you. I could have stopped coming, let you find the rest of the jewel without me. It would have made my life so much easier. But I stayed. You keep running hot and cold, acting like you like me one minute, then shoving me away the next. You go to Kikyo and I know you still love her and it makes me mad because I love you, but I don�t stop you. I try to understand.� Kagome didn�t get a chance to say anything else, because InuYasha pulled her to his chest.
�I hated you when you told me you were seeing someone else,� he whispered. �I wanted to kill him and tell you never to do anything so stupid again. But I remembered what you said to me�how you called me a violent creep. I figured you hated me already and I had ruined any chance we had of being together. I do care about you Kagome, which is why I can�t stand you right now. I feel like you ripped my heart out of my chest.� He shoved her away and Kagome�s breath was knocked out of her when she hit the ground. �I thought you understood me. I thought you knew that I loved you.� He turned away.
�So you don�t anymore?� Kagome asked, no longer bothering to fight the tears.
�How could I not?� he whispered. �And that�s why I hate you. I don�t think it�s safe for you to stay with us anymore. You should go home to your own time because I can�t share you. I can�t�� InuYasha�s voice broke and Kagome�s heart tore with it. �I can�t stand the smell of him on you when you come back. I want to hurt you. I want to hurt him. I want to just take you and not let anyone else near you ever again.� He looked at her, brushing his bangs out of his eyes, which were shining wet. �And you make me say all these things. Why? Does it make you feel good to know how badly you�ve hurt me? Are you as vengeful as Kikyo?�
�No,� Kagome said. �All I want is you, InuYasha. I don�t love Yukio. I thought he was everything I wanted, but I don�t feel anything for him. Not in my heart, at least.�
�Then why have you stayed with him?� InuYasha asked, turning away to discreetly wipe his face.
�Do you really want me to answer that?� Kagome asked.
�Yes. I need to know. What does he have that I don�t?�
�He treats me like a human being and not a tool,� Kagome said. �Even Koga, who says such nice things about me, just sees me as a shard detector in the end.�
�Then get rid of him,� InuYasha growled. �If you really want me, go back there right now and end it. Because if this was about getting my attention: you have it. If it was about getting me to admit I love you, you have that, too.� He knelt in front of her. �But if it�s more with him, then go back and never return.�
�All right,� Kagome said, getting to her knees. InuYasha stood and held out his hand. She took it. He pulled Kagome to her feet, then leaned in and kissed her. Kagome didn�t push him away this time. She gave into him completely. It was as if a piece of a puzzle that had been mislaid suddenly slid into place. Everything felt right�this was what it was supposed to feel like to kiss someone. She didn�t feel like she was touching the ground anymore�it was as if the whole world had become the trip down the well.
When he stepped back, Kagome sighed happily. A large weight had just been lifted from her shoulders and chest and she was so happy to see InuYasha�s eyes without the anger and pain that he had been projecting lately. Still, a nagging thought filled her head and she had to spoil the moment by asking.
�You said you hate me�� Kagome said. InuYasha�s eyes hardened again and he looked away, his ears going back. �Can this really fix that?�
�If I say no, will you go back to him?� InuYasha asked.
�No,� Kagome said. �I�m never leaving you again, InuYasha. It was a mistake.� His ears perked forward and he glanced at her warily. After a minute, he stepped forward and cupped her chin in his hand.
�Then yes, it will fix it.�
�Just like that?�
�I told you, Kagome. You have my attention, my love� my trust. If you say you�ll stay with me, I believe you.� His ear twitched back on �love� and a blush spread across his cheeks, but he didn�t look away. Kagome felt herself blushing and closed her eyes as he moved closer again. She wrapped her arms around him as he kissed her this time and forgot about everything else.
To be continued�

Thank you to everyone who's been reviewing! It's great to see what you guys are guessing about the story XD I will say that no, Yukio is not the reincarnation of anyone from the feudal era and certainly not InuYasha! As for the guess on him being his and Kagome's child... yeah, ew. LOL! I won't say anymore, because it would give stuff away, but I will warn you that the darkness is about to hit with this story in just a couple chapters. And I mean dark. -Hugs- Thanks everyone! Keep it coming!
