:-) Read on.
A year later...
Kouga took another swig of beer, trying desperately to numb everything that was mulling over in his head.
"Fuck," He muttered with a cough. He put his hand to his wet lips and then looked down at it; all he could see was his blood mingled with someone else's. He didn't even know who it was that he'd gotten in a fight with he just knew that it had happened. "Fuck." He said again but that time it was said with sadness. He felt this overwhelming pain in his chest. It was like he couldn't even breathe. He took another sip of his beer but still, it did nothing. He'd fallen for her and it was killing him.

"Inuyasha, have you heard from Kouga?" Sango asked.
"If you haven't, why would I have?" He asked with a raised brow and she sighed, wiping her mouth with the napkin that was on her lap. Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome, and Sango had gone out for dinner. Neither one of them had heard from Kouga in a couple of weeks and they were beginning to get worried. "I'm sure he's fine." Inuyasha said to reassure them.
"Yeah." Kagome said, throwing her napkin on the table in frustration. "If only he would call us, ya know?" She said and they nodded their heads in agreement.
"Try his cell one more time." Inuyasha said to Miroku.
"I've tried a million times! What make's you think this time will be any different?" Miroku asked him and Inuyasha just shrugged.
"I've got a feeling."
"You said that the last time!" Miroku said, laughing a little. "Inuyasha, you said it yourself, he's probably fine."
"Come on Miroku, just call him one more time." Kagome begged and he rolled his eyes, smiling.
"Here," He threw her his phone. "He knows when it's me so he doesn't pick up. Maybe if it's you he will." So, Kagome scrolled through Miroku's phone till she found Kouga's number. Then, she scrolled through her own phone and wondered why she had never added him into hers. She had Inuyasha's, Miroku's, Sango's, and Lexi's so, where the hell was he? That was when she remembered that Kouga wasn't really a talk-on-the-phone kind of guy. She dialed his number and put it on speaker. After a few rings they almost gave up.
Then, suddenly, "Hellooo?" They heard an obviously drunk Kouga ask. Then they heard him mumble something under his breath. "Dude, I'm kinda busy, who the fuck is this?" He was clearly in a bad mood.
"K-Kouga, it's me." Kagome said, smiling to make herself sound sincere.
"Kagome?" They could almost feel something burst inside of Kouga when he'd said her name and they looked at one another, confused. "Heh, why are you calling me? Isn't that Miroku's job?"
"Haha, very funny." Kagome was suddenly angry with him. "You know, you're a big shit head." She told him.
"Oh, I'm hurt." He said sarcastically.
"Yeah, well you should be!" She fumed and her friends gave her a warning glare. The people in the restaurant were beginning to stare. "Kouga," She said in a fierce whisper, "You need to come home! You can't just run off the way you did and expect everyone to not care or worry about you."
"Kagome, save it. You're charmed lives don't hold a place for me in them anymore." He said in a sad way and Kagome's heart broke.
"'Charmed lives?'" Kagome shook her head furiously. When in the hell did they have charmed lives? "Are you fucking kidding me? You're drunk aren't you?" She asked just to talk to him. But she didn't need him to answer her, she already knew.
"No shit Sherlock." He said with an angry chuckle and Kagome felt tears fill her eyes. She practically threw the phone at Inuyasha.
"You talk to him." She whispered. "Because if I do, I'm going to break down in front of all these people." But, it was too late, Kagome was already being choked by oncoming sobs. She got up from her seat. "Excuse me." She managed to mutter. Then, without another word, she ran out of the restaurant toward Inuyasha's car.
Once she was at the car, she tried to open the back door but failed. "Fuck," She whispered, closing her eyes. "It's locked."
"Yeah, you're gonna need these." Kagome turned around towards Inuyasha who was holding the keys in his hands and jangling them in front of her. She smiled, a sad moan escaping her mouth accidentally. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. He hugged her back and placed his head on top of hers. They swayed there for a moment while Kagome calmed down.
"I'm just not good with drunk people." She said in a shaky voice. Inuyasha chuckled, knowing she was trying to lighten the mood. "Never have been." Kagome joked. "Oh Inuyasha, he's so difficult." She laughed through her tears and Inuyasha barked out his.
"You're tellin' me." He said while continuing to laugh. She nuzzled her nose into his black, leather jacket feeling the chill of it seem to warm her. Her white summer dress danced on her legs and she looked up at Inuyasha, smiling.
"Wow," She said softly, looking up at the night sky. "Look at that." Inuyasha let go of her slightly and looked up.
"I don't think I've ever seen that many stars in the sky at once." He mused and Kagome giggled, kissing his neck.
"Neither do I." She said softly. She captured his lips with hers and lost herself in the magic that their love made.
"You know," He began, in between kisses. "We really need to stop doing this. You make me forget where I am and what I was doing. That's not always a good thing." She laughed and the vibration tickled his lips and made him break the kiss. He looked into her beautiful eyes and sighed. "Here," He dropped the keys in her hand.
"Thank you," Kagome said breathlessly. How does he do that? She wondered after he'd left her breathless for what seemed the hundredth time. And the funny thing was, she'd been the one who'd kissed him.
"We'll be out in five." He said, turning around and heading back in. Then, he turned back around with a raised brow, "You want anything for dessert?"
"No thanks. If I'm craving something sweet there's plenty of stuff at home." Kagome said back, unlocking the front door and getting in. Now, she was just bored. She'd gotten all of her crying out when she'd been hugging Inuyasha. But, she wasn't about to go back in after making a fool of herself. No, she was going to wait.

Kouga got up from his seat and swaggered over to the door to leave the Irish pub he'd found himself traveling into hours ago. He burped quietly, or loudly, he couldn't really tell, once he was outside. He still had a beer bottle in his hands and he took one last swig before he tossed it in the trash. Needless to say, he missed.
"Fuck," He muttered as he made his way over to his new, silver, Ford, truck. "Hey baby," He smiled, touching his truck delicately and giving it a little pat. He got in and searched for his keys in his pockets. Just as soon as he found them, he was driving. It was late and he wasn't too far from home so that's where he decided to go.
He drove like a maniac but, to his disappointment, no other cars were on the road and he wasn't near any cliffs he could 'accidentally' drive off because of being so drunk. It's not like he was suicidal but it seemed to him that death was the only thing that would help him forget her.

"Mom, has Kouga called?" Alexis yelled to her mother from the living room.
"No," Her mother said, bustling in, a white apron around her waste. She was cooking Kouga's favorite meals for when he came home; if he came home. "Check your cell phone." She told her daughter.
"Will do." Alexis said, jumping up from the couch and walking over to her purse that was sitting on the coffee table. "No new messages or texts." She said sadly. "Mom, where do you think he is?"
"Honey, I have no idea." She said, putting a hand on her hip and shaking her head. "But, if he's anything like his father he's out drinking." Alexis snorted.
"Is that what dad used to do? Drink his problems away?" Alexis questioned and her mother smirked.
"He didn't need a problem to drink." She answered, returning back to her cooking. Alexis shook her head and returned back to watching the television when her phone rang.

While Kagome had been waiting in the car, she'd gotten so bored she'd begun to start calling random people. Alexis was one of those people.
"Hey Kags." She heard Alexis sigh out.
"You were hoping I was Kouga weren't you?" She asked sadly and she heard Alexis laugh.
"No," She lied.
"Well, he finally picked up." Alexis knew what she meant.
"No shit," Alexis said, suddenly awake. She walked back over to the couch and sat down Indian style. "How'd you get him to pick up?"
"We used my cell." Kagome said, smiling in spite of herself. "He had no idea who was calling him so, he picked up."
"Oh," Alexis said softly. "What did he say?"
"Nothing much, he was actually really drunk."
"Crap, hope he's not driving." Alexis said.
"Aww, don't worry. He'll be fine. At least we know he's all right."
"Yeah, but Kagome we don't really know that."
"No, we do!" Kagome said fiercely. "He may have been drunk but other than that he was the same old Kouga."
"I'm really worried about him." Alexis admitted and Kagome sighed.
"We all are." She said with understanding. "How's your mom holding up?" She asked.
"She's good. She's cooking his favorite meal. I think she thinks he might smell the food and come running home." She laughed and Kagome joined her. Once they'd stopped laughing, an awkward silence had settled and Kagome decided to just end the conversation.
"Well," She began, "You really gotta have dinner with us soon."
"Oh, definitely." Alexis said. She was going to say bye but then a thought came to her. "So, how's the apartment search coming?"
"Great, we're close to finding a place." She was referring to her and Sango moving into an apartment together near their college.
"It's cool that you guys go to the same school." Alexis said which was something she'd said every time the subject was brought up and Kagome laughed.
"Yeah, it's great." Kagome replied. Then, that awkwardness found them again and they both said their farewells at the same time, laughed, and hung up. Kagome gave a heavy sigh and realized that nothing between them or anyone, for that matter, would be the same until Kouga returned. She hoped it would be soon.
"Hey." Sango yelled through the window to her. "What's up?" She laughed at Kagome's surprised expression. Then she got into the car and took the seat behind Kagome. "What'd he say to upset you?" Sango asked and Kagome shrugged her shoulders.
"He was just being a complete and total jerk to me. To us, ya know?" Kagome said, turning to look at Sango. Sango nodded her head in understanding.
"That's true." She said, laying back in her chair and shutting her eyes. "But that's also Kouga being Kouga and there's probably nothing anyone can do about it."
"People keep making excuses for him." Kagome said shaking her head and looking down at her hands. "They keep saying shit like you just did Sango. Just making more excuses." She shook her head again and Sango went to say something but Kagome beat her to it. "And I want to, like, punch the people that say stuff and tell them to shut the hell up because they're wrong. You are wrong." She laughed angrily. "He isn't just 'being Kouga.' He is being an asshole and Kouga is not an assho-"
"Kagome, come on, you're way outta line here." Miroku said. That was when Kagome realized that Inuyasha and Miroku had gotten in the car as well. Sango was looking at Kagome. But, to Kagome's surprise, she wasn't angry with her or anything. Only sympathy could be seen in her beautiful brown eyes.

Kouga parked his truck outside of his mother's house and smelled something delicious. His heart broke for his poor mother and sister. Why was he such a jerk? Why couldn't he think about other people instead of himself for once? What was to become of him? He looked down at the clock and saw that it was 2:15 in the morning. He tried to shake everything away and hopped out of his truck. He climbed the house to his bedroom window and tried to open it. He thanked God it was open and climbed in. Once he was inside he flopped onto his bed and shut his eyes, falling asleep instantly.
