Chapter 1: Midnight Regrets in a Small Town

InuYasha's eyes followed her hasty movements. Her hands were rushing to shove the articles of clothing into her oversized yellow bag. How he hated that thing. The salty scent of her tears made his sensitive nose ache. Why had he said that? Why had she believed him?

"Kagome…" he forced out.

"Shut up."

Kagome's choked voice stopped his heart. She collapsed onto the grass beneath her, fingers twisting into the fabric of her green skirt. He stood shakily, turning to walk away.

"Did you mean it?" she choked, her voice a gravely cut through his heart.

For some reason, he couldn't force the right answer out. He had to do right by her. He had to let go.

"…Yes."

Her mouth twisted into a pained smile, "Fair enough…"

The sudden movement of her jumping to her feet startled him. Her lips pressed against his feverishly, her tears rubbing off on his face. He fought not to kiss back but grabbed her flush to his body, enjoying every curve against him.

"I'll always love you," she breathed as she backed away painfully, "but I'll leave you alone."

His eyes clouded and all he could hear was the slamming of a door and the screeching of tires on asphalt. That's when the regret settled in.

Sango couldn't tear her eyes away from the painful sight of her best friend crying heavily on her bed. She sank down on the bed beside her, laying her head on Kagome's back. Rubbing her lower back comfortingly, she whispered soothing words to the seventeen year old girl.

"Its going to be okay…"

"No, its not," Kagome sobbed, "You should've heard him Sango. He meant it."

"What did he say…"

"I'll never love you Kagome…Get over it…"

"InuYasha."

"No, go away before you get hurt."

"Too late…"

"It was horrible…It was so horrible…"

Sango sighed and stood up, "Well, we'll see him tomorrow at school. We'll straighten this whole thing out. I promise."

Rin pulled on her snow white sweater and shoved on her black beanie over her unruly raven hair. Sesshoumaru watched her lazily from his place on the bed, naked save the blanket strewn across his lap. She looked back over at him, smiling before bouncing on top of his long torso.

"I love you baby," she leaned down to kiss him fully on the lips.

His fingers raked through her hair, an arm snaking around her tiny waist. She moaned in approval before backing away.

"Don't start something again my darling," he muttered huskily.

"Mmm, sorry," she smiled and stood.

Sesshoumaru grinned and smacked her ass as she scampered away. She feigned a pout as she stepped into her black hightops. Fixing her lip gloss quickly in the mirror, she grabbed her car keys and turned to face him.

"Gonna be at school tomorrow?"

"I always am," he murmured through the cigarette he placed between his lips.

She snorted, "Hardly."

"Well, I'll be there tomorrow love."

Rin smiled softly before grabbing her jacket from the foot of his bed. He looked up at her, the haze of the cigarette in his mouth clouded the image of her beautiful face. Pulling it out of his mouth, he looked at her once again.

"Do jellyfish have feelings?" Rin asked curiously, picking at a string pulled loose from her skirt.

"I don't know."

She looked up at him with a pout, "I mean, they're all…jelly like."

He sighed heavily, "I said that I do not know Rin."

"Jeez Sesshy…why ya gotta be so mean all the time?" she smirked lightly, despite the notion of her question.

Blinking slowly, he muttered, "Maybe they do…"

She tilted her head in confusion, "Huh?"

Shaking his head, he scowled, "Nothing, get outta here."

"Yeah, yeah."

Turning, she threw her jacket and walked out of his room, slamming the door behind her. He tilted his head back in exasperation, 'Damn…'.

I hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
