"Please, Inu? It'll be loads of fun!" Kikyo said, tugging on the sleeve of a handsome man with flowing black hair. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Kikyo, I really don't want to..." InuYasha said, shaking his arm, freeing it of Kikyo's grasp. He opened the door to the apartment he shared with her and threw his keys onto the black leather couch when he walked inside.

"Inuuuu! It's just a party at Kagome's little friend Becca's house! It won't kill you!" Kikyo said, trying to convince him to go. She had already told Becca she would go, but InuYasha didn't know that, and Kikyo didn't want him to. She smiled to herself.

InuYasha let out a sigh of regret. "Fine. When is it?"

"Tonight!" Kikyo chirped happily, kissing InuYasha on the cheek. He smiled slightly.

"Ok, then I'll just go--TONIGHT?!" InuYasha choked on his words. He couldn't go tonight! Tonight was the day before their anniversary. He had to go pick out the ring that he was going to give Kikyo tomorrow. He was going to propose to her at the diner where the had their first date. He had been planning it for months, but hadn't gotten the money for the ring until just that day when he played a gig with his band, Boston Coma, and more people had showed up than planned.

"Of course it's tonight, silly!" Kikyo smiled playfully. She looked at InuYasha, and her smile faded. "Is tonight not a good time?"

"Um...Well..." InuYasha couldn't seem to make up an excuse. "No, tonight is probably the worst possible time. I have a meeting with the leader of a major record label at 6..."

Watching Kikyo's face fall like it did broke his heart to peices instantly. She looked like she was in physical pain. InuYasha couldn't stand it.

"I'm so sorry, Kikyo..." he walked over to her and put his arms around her. "I wish I could...But you go, have fun. I'll call you when I get home." Kikyo nodded, sighing.

"Bye, Kikyo! I'll see you soon, baby, I promise!" InuYasha waved goodbye to Kikyo as she got out of the car at Becca's house and got ready to pull away when Kikyo stopped and leaned her head into the window.

"Be careful on the roads. Make a good impression for the record company!" Kikyo smiled. Then, as a last thought, she added, "I love you."

InuYasha smiled and nodded. "I love you, too." Kikyo smiled and turned around, walking up the concrete walkway going through Becca's front yard. Her house was large and blue, with yellow shudders on the windows. There were at least eight windows that InuYasha could count at a glance. He watched Kikyo walk to the door, and walk inside, before driving off to Jared's.

InuYasha drove through endless traffic. There was way too much huste-and-bustle this time of day, especially for his tolerance. He had no patience when it came to highway traffic. After about ten minutes of sitting in one place, the car in front of him finally decided to move. He had almost dozed off in his seat. He shook himself awake, a shudder passing through his body, and drove up, taking a left to get off the highway and to the mall.

Parkway Mall...How I do love you...InuYasha thought sarcastically. He had hated the Parkway Mall ever since he had ran into 50 Cent there. 50 Cent had been his idol. But when InuYasha tried to talk to him, he was a complete asshole. He still remembered the day perfectly...And the fact that he hit Kikyo on the back of the head didn't make him like the rapper any better. After that day, InuYasha stuck strictly to rock music.

He drove his black porche into the mall's parking lot. It was packed, just like it always was. He sighed, rolling his eyes. Agh, the things I do for Kikyo...

He got out of his car, slamming the door and clicking a button on his keychain to lock all the doors and walked up toward the doors of the large building. He saw a girl who looked to be around 17 with black hair looking at him. She was wearing a light blue strapless top, a short jean skirt, and black sandles. She was very pretty. InuYasha just smiled and waved at her, unsure of what else to do. She waved back, but stayed leaning on the back of her car.

He walked past her, and then she started to follow him. He could tell, because he heard the gentle flop...flop... of her sandles close to him. He turned around to see her walking up to his side. She was smiling. He turned himself back in the direction of the mall. Stay focused, InuYasha. We can't get carried away now...

The black haired girl finally spoke. "Hi, I'm Kagura. What's a hottie like you doing alone?" her voice was sweet like honey and smooth like silk.

InuYasha just ignored her, trying to keep control. She was a hooker, he could tell by the way she was dressed and the way she was talking to him out of no where. He stayed quiet.

"Ah, the quiet type. I've met boys like you before. Tough nuts to crack, you bet. But I always get the best of them in the end," Kagura said, smiling mischeviously. InuYasha gulped.

"Please leave..." he muttered.

She looked at him, and stopped walking. "Excuse me?" InuYasha stopped and looked back at her.

"You heard me. I have a girlfriend."

She looked shocked. "Well, lets be friends then. What's your name?" She walked up to him and they continued walking toward the doors to the mall. They were about 30 feet away.

"InuYasha," he said, rolling his eyes.

"That's a nice name..." They reached the doors and he opened one of them. She walked ahead of him and walked in. She turned her head and winked. He rolled his eyes again. This is going to be one LONG trip... InuYasha thought as he followed her through the door. She was waiting for him a few feet from where he stood at that moment. He sighed. He just wanted her to leave him alone so that he could buy his girlfriend a damn ring! Was that really too much to ask?

He walked past all the stores, Hot Topic, Spencers, Costco, all of the stores, before finally reaching Jared's. The Kagura chick was still following him, and it was still pissing him off. He had asked her to leave at least four times, minimum, before they had reached the store, but each time, she refused to acknowledge him. He figured he'd try one more time.

"Kagura...You seem like a great girl and all, but...I'm here to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring. Can you please just leave me alone?" he choked out, trying to be nice, but all his annoyance slipped out when he said 'please'. She laughed.

"No, I'm not leaving," she said between giggles. Awwww, he's so cute when he's trying to get rid of me, she thought, smiling to herself.

InuYasha rolled his eyes and looked around at the rings, Kagura lagging behind, practically hanging on to his back. He found one that he especially liked. It was a white gold band with a small emerald in the middle. He walked up to a clerk.

"May I help you?" the clerk said, walking over to him with a swing in his hips. InuYasha chuckled. The man's name tag read 'Shelby', which caused InuYasha to laugh a bit louder.

"Um, yes, I was hoping to buy this ring and have my girlfriend's name engraved into it..." InuYasha said, walking over to the case that the ring was in. Shelby nodded.

"Of course!" he said, his lips smacking together for a valley-GIRL sound. There's a gay one...InuYasha thought. For a moment, all his thoughts of Kagura were gone. Only for a moment, and then Kagura put her arm around his waist, and he jumped. Shelby watched. "Awww, if this your girlfriend?"

InuYasha's eyes opened wide, and while he said no, Kagura opened her mouth with a yes. InuYasha looked at her and pulled her to the side.

"What the FUCK, Kagura?!" he asked, enraged. She shrugged.

"Just seemed like the right thing to say. And by the end of today, you'll be mine," she smiled devishly and pulled on his tie, then walked back over to Shelby.

InuYasha looked at Kagura walking back to where they had stood merely minutes ago. How DARE she tell that fag that she's my girlfriend!!!!!!!!!!! he thought as he walked back. Shelby was giggling and he flicked his wrist outward.

"So yeah, can I buy this ring today?" InuYasha asked impatiently.

"Not if you want it engraved."
"Then screw engraving it, give me the fucking ring!" InuYasha shouted. Kagura smiled at him and Shelby just walked behind the counter and got the ring. "That'll be $947."

InuYasha pulled out his credit card and scanned it through the credit-card machine. Shelby handed him the ring and told him to have a nice day. InuYasha grunted and walked out of the store. Kagura was nowhere in sight. He gave a sigh of relief. Thank God...She decided to leave...

He walked out of the mall and to his car. There was a figure in the passenger's seat. I knew it was too good to be true...he thought, walking to his car and seeing Kagura sitting there. She had taken off her shirt, or changed, if that's what she called it, and was now in what could have been a bikini top.

"Hey, sexy, ready to take me home?" she smiled.

A/N: Ha ha, finally, I got up one chapter of this! I already know where I'm taking it, but... At least I have something! I know it's been a year since I posted The Boston Coma Trials, but bear with me, I've been busy. But I'm back in action and my writing has (hopefully!) improved. So here you go!
