First Love

Kagome's Confession, Part 2

"I have to tell you something, Inuyasha..." She cut me off again.  "It may sound hard to believe, especially since we haven't known each other for long." My ears perked up as my face flushed, and I practically held my breath, waiting for her to continue. "It's your choice whether you believe me or not, but...Here we go..."

I could tell she was really nervous about telling me whatever it was she was gonna say. Although I had a pretty good feeling what it was about. "Come on, just say it Kagome" I urged her to keep talking. I had to make sure to go easy on her. I didn't want to push her, but all this waiting got me impatient. 

"I....I kind of...um..." 

"You what, Kagome?" 

"I think I've developed f-feelings for you... I know this might sound crazy... You don't have to believe me." She turned her back, and there was that saddened expression on her face again. I just hoped she wouldn't cry again this time. "Kagome...I-" 

"I know what you're going to say, but you don't have to say it. It's okay. I know you don't like me..."  

I sighed in annoyance and stood up. "YOU need to listen to me, okay?!" I growled and grabbed her wrists, making her look at me. Straight in the eyes. "Look, Kagome... Why didn't you tell me right away, if that's how you really feel about me?" 

Kagome's P.O.V

I don't believe it! Inuyasha's a nice guy and everything, but is he really that dense? It goes without saying, if he rejected me, I'd be heartbroken! Which I'm sure he was when Kikyou broke up with him... "Do I have to explain, Inuyasha?" I quickly pulled my hand back from his grip and stared him quite coldly in the eyes. "Really? If you told someone they loved you, and they rejected you, how would you feel afterwards?" 

"Uh... Sad? Right?" asked Inuyasha. He looked kind of scared? Something I said, no doubt. It turns out I'm not so good talking to guys. And talking to Inuyasha was no different. "Oh, not just sad. Heartbroken." Now it was me who spoke in a stern voice. And of course, I demanded an answer. What about his feelings? Did he still love Kikyou? I had no idea of knowing, seeing as he didn't say another word. I put my hands on my hips to appear sassy, and scary. Which, as far as I could tell, worked. 

"W-why are ya looking at me like that?" Came a stuttering reply from Inuyasha. Finally, he had the nerve to speak up. "Isn't that obvious? You haven't answered me yet!" Ubelievable! 

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

An answer...? Right... I would have answered right away, but I didn't have the faintest idea what to reply! I wasn't even sure I liked Kagome back... Nor was I sure about my feelings for Kikyou. But I couldn't tell her that! And telling her that I didn't like her, was even worse. Because I'd make her cry...Again. 

Fortunately for me, the school bell rang not long after that, which meant that the day was over and I could go home. But, I'd still have to meet Kagome tomorrow... "S-sorry, Kagome. But I gotta head home now...!" I stuttered and quickly opened the door to the nurse's office, just making it out of there before she could catch up to me.
