Inuyasha is hanyou and Koga/ Sesshomaru/ Shippo/ Kilala are all youkai. (If/when they come into it.)
Please don't hate me! I love Inuyasha and Kagome pairings but I decided that for once I would try and write her with someone else.
Notice I said try… I don't know how it will turn out.
SUMMARY: Kagome and Inuyasha were in love and together for two years until someone comes into the mix and messes it up. Kagome is heartbroken.
It is up to her friends to help her through this... and with girls that usually means - get another boyfriend. Who will Kagome end up with?
Who will her friends end up with?
CHAPTER ONE
Kagome listened patiently to the last few words that their mathematics professor was saying as she started to discreetly pick up her books and pack
them away into her backpack, today is one day that I'm not going to be a goody-goody and sit there listening to his very last words before
starting to pack up, she thought with a faint smile as she brushed a few strands of ebony hair out of her eyes. Mr. Jones is a good teacher, but
he really could talk the leg off a chair if you let him, she thought with a smile as she walked out of the room.
She was just glad that for once the mathematics class had finished early for once, instead of late. After all today was not just any day; today was her
two-year anniversary with Inuyasha. Her brown eyes lit up as she thought about it, and let out a sigh of pure bliss. The last two years had been pure
magic; she had met Inuyasha at her prom and since then they had been inseparable. Though she thanked God everyday that he had only been there
as a friend for his escort. Otherwise she didn't know what she would have done… she didn't like the idea of stealing someone else's boyfriend, but
she didn't know if she could have helped herself where Inuyasha was concerned.
He was around five foot nine inches tall, with golden eyes and silvery-blonde hair and he was an absolute hunk, not to mention the fact that he loved
and adored her to death! She thought with a loving smile as she walked down the steps and into the quad, still deep in her thoughts she smiled and
waved to her friends here and there, though never changing her course from that which led to the exclusive Alpha Gamma fraternity house where
Inuyasha was a member – the only thing that earned almost as much attention as herself. The only problem with him living there was that it was on
the other side of the campus, and was where Inuyasha was most likely to be at this time of day.
Kagome was in a happy mood, it was their second year anniversary and for her that was a long time. During high school she had been very popular
and found it almost too easy to go from one guy to the other and though she had tried not to but she had flitted from one guy to another, never letting
herself get attached or attracted to the guys that she had dated. She now knew that it had been a deep founded fear that if she let the guys get close
they would hurt her, so consequently she went out with guys she didn't find attractive and she stayed with them until she got bored or if she started
getting feelings for them. Inuyasha though had been different, he had exuded some special feeling from her and she had found herself wanting him all
to herself, for them to belong to each other forever and to never need anyone else. So she had turned all her charms onto him and had won him over,
not that it had been very hard, and they had been together since.
Kagome was sure that Inuyasha was preparing a special surprise for her, he'd been hinting about it for the last month! Though what it was she had no
idea, she never had been one for guessing games, and Inuyasha had always been a champion with doing the unexpected so Kagome had learnt to go
with the flow and not even try and guess because she'd never been right yet. Though she couldn't help but hope it was jewelry… her thoughts changed
tracks and she wondered briefly as she walked up the hall and towards his room if she should have rung him first? After all he had responsibilities, he
could be in a fraternity meeting or his class might have changed or gone overtime. But she dismissed the idea almost at once, it was unlikely for something
like that to happen, it would be more than likely that he would be there. Or if he wasn't she could wait there for him, It would be a surprise! She could
surprise him for once, she thought with a grin as she quietly swung his door open and stepped into the doorway.
Her breath caught in her throat and her brown eyes went wide in shock, she stood there as the moments ticked by and couldn't even make a sound.
Even as the other sounds invaded her ears and the word surprise echoed around in her head mocking her. She finally managed to tear her eyes away
and she went to move quietly back out of the room, though in her need to get out of the room she accidentally kicked a book on the floor and it made
a resounding bang. Kagome closed her eyes tightly and after taking a few deep breaths turned to face the only man that she had ever loved, the only
man that she had ever given her heart and soul.
She stood there, head held high though unable to keep the hurt look from her face as she looked down at Inuyasha and Kikyo wrapped in a lovers embrace.
Unable to look away her gaze gave them a once over and noticed that Inuyasha was only in his boxers and Kikyo was only in her panties and bra,
the rest of their clothes were strewn around the room and what they were wearing was askew. Kagome wished she could pry her gaze from the two of them
but for some reason she couldn't. She was stuck there staring as the pain in her heart grew.
As if he could have found anyone worse than Kikyo to cheat on her with! She thought sadly. Kikyo was a major slut and had been all through school
and now UNI. She slept with everyone and anyone… Not to mention the fact that Kagome and Kikyo had hated each other for longer than she could
remember. Sometimes she really couldn't believe she was related to such a person, she thought with an inaudible sigh Kagome stood there and looked at
the love of her life and her most hated rival, lying there in each other's arms in partial undress.
She stood there in silence, not moving a muscle or even blinking. Even as Inuyasha jumped up and hurriedly pulled his clothes back to order and started talking
she didn't move, nor did she hear a thing that he said... Millions of thoughts had started rushing through her head. That double-timing bastard! How long has
he been doing this to me? How long has he been sleeping with other women when he was speaking words of love and endearment into my ears?
Had the years together meant nothing? They had been talking about marriage!
She took a deep breath and banished all the way-ward thoughts from her mind, then looked into his eyes and listened to the words that were falling from his lips.
"Kagome… it's not what it looks like," he said warily as he pulled a hand through his mused hair. "I can explain."
"Can you?" she asked him, her voice expressionless as she pushed her bangs out of her eyes and raised her gaze to meet his golden eyes, his eyes skittered away once more.
"Of course I can… you see Kikyo was here to see Miroku," he said glancing over the mused girl sitting on the bed, who had made no attempt to cover her body up.
Kagome didn't miss the slightly lusty look that appeared in his eyes as he looked at her. "And we started talking and…"
She tuned his words out but oh the excuse rolled easily off his tongue. As though it had been rehearsed or perhaps used before? But it was so easily seen through
as what it was, an excuse, he couldn't seriously expect her to believe that it was all a mistake. And after about five minutes of going on about it all being a mistake
he realized that there was no way that that train of defense would work, so he changed tactics. "It's your fault anyway," he said sullenly.
"My fault?" Kagome asked surprised at the sudden change in defense and topic. "How could this be my fault?"
"Yes your fault," he said pouncing on her surprise and using it to his advantage. "If you weren't so damn robotic in bed I wouldn't have to go looking elsewhere!
As if it was a chore…" he said glaring at Kagome as though it was her fault when he was the one that had done the wrong.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said quietly, but he talked over her. He was on a roll now, dishing out all the abuse and fault onto her,
"Well what about me Kagome, huh? What about my needs as a man? If you had given a little encouragement now and then, experiment a little! But you wouldn't
so I've found someone that would!" he said hurtfully as he ran his eyes over Kikyo's still displayed figure. "It's all your fault Kagome, you were selfish!"
Kagome didn't hear the rest of the abuse that was coming out of his mouth; she tuned it out and looked over at Inuyasha. Then looked deep into Inuyasha's eyes
and saw nothing… She saw nothing of the man that she had fallen in love with and spent the last two years of her life with. It had all been an illusion; a mistake and
she had felt her heart shatter into thousands of pieces. Tears pooled hotly in herbrown eyes with the heartbreak, disillusionment and pain she was feeling deep inside,
but then she'd caught the catty gleam in Kikyo's eyes and saw the smirk of triumph and contentment on her face.
Then it was easy. Her protective and instinctive instincts kicked in and her heart hardened, tears dried up as though they had never been present and strength poured
through her. She looked at them with icy golden brown eyes, hate and disregard radiating from them and then with a smile that held no warmth and was unworthy
of even being called a smile, she said, "Well this was a very inventive two-year anniversary present Inuyasha, or did you forget?" she said icily.
"Well I suppose it doesn't matter because the meaning is perfectly clear to me. I never want to see either of you ever again and I hope you're both happy together
because you certainly suit and complement each other."
"I…" Inuyasha started.
"Yes, you're both just right. Catty low down snakes," she told them with an icy grin. And then with as much courage and strength that she could manage she walked
out of the room with her head held high.
