A/N: So, this is a 10-chapter story it is all planed out. The story takes place somewhere in Europe, and are no demons here because it would only complicate things. Things will be said from Kagome's point of view and sometimes from InuYasha's, but mostly the story is going to be told from a third-person point of view.

Dedicated to my dear friend Reya-Chan, who helped me a lot!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from the anime/manga InuYasha or the lyrics of the song "Believe It Or Not".

Summary: AU - Lovers. Married. Just not to each other.

≈ The Long Road ≈ Believe It Or Not ≈

Believe it or not, everyone, have things that they hide.
Believe it or not, everyone, keep most things inside.
Believe it or not, everyone, believe in something above.
Believe it or not, everyone, need to feel loved.

Candles; symbols of romance were the only light in a dark hotel room.

In the far end of the room there was a very modern white leather bed on which two figures were asleep, or so it seemed.

There laid a woman with dark long hair, her deep blue eyes open. She was thinking. Thinking of how her life became so complicated. With a sigh she tried to sit up, but two strong hands pulled her back to the bad.

"Where do you think you're going?" Asked the man as he pulled the woman back to his body. Sensually kissing her neck he continued, " I though we had another hour or so."

The woman turned in his arms so that now she was facing him, "we do. I just need some water." Giving him a little kiss on his chin she moved out of his embrace. Sitting up naked, she looked around for her clothes. Locating her thongs and an oversized shirt she went and put it on. The guy chuckled, "I really don't know why you always get dressed when you know that the minute you are back in my arms, you are going to be naked again." The women shrugged and stood up making her way toward the bathroom where she could have a glass of water. He watched her all the way, loving how her hips swayed and how good she looked in his shirt.

When she returned her black haired lover was still waiting for her in bed. He looked at her and immediately knew that something was bothering her, that something was wrong. Although he knew the answer to that question he asked anyway, "is something wrong Kagome?"

With a sigh Kagome put the glass field with water on the nightstand before slipping back to bed. "Yes and no, but you probably knew that already. Right Yash?" grabbing his hands she wrapped them around her body, pressing her-self to his warm naked chest. Kissing her hair he said the three words they could say to each other and get away with it, "I need you." Kagome turned around and kissed him deeply, giving him all her devotion, "I need you too," she murmured before their bodies became one.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"So are you meeting with him tonight?" asked a brunette woman her raven-haired friend, who was sitting across from here. There were sitting in a nice restaurant and having lunch. The sun was shining and it was rather warm. It was the end of April and the two decided to eat outside. They have just finished eating their desert and asked the waiter to bring them the bill.

Kagome took a sip of her water before answering the question, "no, not today. Sesshomaru is coming home today so I decided to cook him dinner." Sango wanted to say something but was interrupted by the waiter. She was already reaching into her purse to pay but Kagome beat her to it and gave the waiter 50 euro. Sango gave her the not fair look but Kagome dismissed it with a friendly smile. "My treat," she said as she stood up and took her black trench coat. She was wearing elegant trousers and a matching gray shirt. Around her neck she wore two necklaces. Sango soon followed and stood up revealing her slightly big abdomen. "Only three more months and I can finally go back to wearing my old clothes," she murmured under her breath as she tried to button up her coat. She really missed her leather jacket.

Kagome looked excited towards her friend and smiled brightly, "yes. Three more months and I'll be an aunt to two little babies." She really liked children and often she wondered why she still didn't have her own. She was 27, had her own apartment, graduated from medical school and was working at a private clinic as a pediatrician. Most importantly, she had a husband. Yes, her husband, the well-known attorney, he was the problem. He was mostly away on trips, so because of his absent they didn't have time to make babies. And since four months ago another reason why she couldn't have children with her husband or anyone for that matter came in to her life. InuYasha Takahashi, number one motorcycle racer. InuYasha Takahashi, her brother in law. InuYasha Takahashi, husband of Kikyo Takahashi.

Believe it or not, everyone, have things that they hide.

She met him while she was celebrating her 27th birthday with her girl friends. They were in a club called Unisex having a few drinks and talking about random stuff. Ayame, one of her friends and owner of the club, was coming back from the toilet when she noticed two familiar faces at the bar. The first face that she saw belonged to Miroku Kazaana and the other to his friend InuYasha Takahashi. Deciding that the girls needed some male attention, she made her way towards them and tapped Miroku lightly on the shoulder.

Of course she just had to invite them to their table and of course they accepted the invitation. Plus there wasn't a chair available for InuYasha and Kagome already being a little tipsy, was bold enough to suggest that her brother in law could sit on her lap. Indeed, she made an offer that he couldn't resist.

Waving a goodbye to her pregnant friend, Kagome made her way towards her Mercedes-Benz Coupe. She decided to make a few stops before heading home. Tonight was the night that her husband was finally coming back home. It has been two weeks since she last saw him. So she decided to prepare a warm welcoming. With a smile on her face she speed off to the mall. She definitely needed to buy some new lingerie.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Kagome was sitting alone at her dining table, sipping red wine. He let her down yet again. He wasn't coming. He had to stay for another day. She looked around their apartment. It was beautiful and modern. She looked at the table. Everything was perfect. The food she cooked smelled delicious; the table was perfectly set with a candle in the middle. Yes, she really out did herself. What for? He wasn't coming. Her husband wasn't coming.

She met him when she was in her last year of medical school. He came with his five-year-old daughter Rin to the private clinic where she was working as an intern. Doctor Akitoki was on his break and left her in charge. She could see that he was very protective of the little girl. He wasn't pleased to hear that the doctor was on his break and that she, a medical student, was going to examine his daughter. She tried to ensure him that she was only going to check the basic things, that you normally ask a nurse to do and that the doctor will do the rest as soon as he gets beck.

That was the first time she met him. The second meeting was more pleasant.

She was on her way home and imagine her surprise when she saw him outside the clinic waiting for her. She could tell that he wasn't sure what he was doing there. When she asked him if something was wrong with Rin he didn't answer, instead he asked her if she would have coffee with him. Imagine her surprise when she said yes. She didn't mean to, because he was married and had a family, but soon she found that the story in her head was far from the truth.

He told her, that he was an unmarried lawyer working in his father's law firm and that he and Rin's mother Kagura were only friends who had one moment of passion.

They talked a lot that evening and soon they started dating and things couldn't get better when he proposed and she found out that she was pregnant.

Believe it or not, everyone, hate admitting fear.

I don't know what happened, but at one point we were happily married, expecting a child and the next minute our love was torn apart. It was right after your father retired and you took over, that you got a call from Sango. I remember your face when you found out that I lost the baby. I never knew you held so much love for our unborn child, even though I was only four months pregnant. You cried that night. The stress of the past month came crashing out. I didn't know you could cry. But you showed me wrong. That night we both cried. That night was the night you walked away from me. I needed you and you walked away.

Believe it or not, everyone, keep most things inside.

It has been two years since then and still you can't seem to forgive me that I lost the baby. You changed. You may say that you love me, but does your heart, your soul still love me? I'm not sure anymore. I know that I love you, but I cannot live like this. Remembering every time what I did to you. I know what to do. I need to get away from you, from me, from us. But, do I have strength to leave you? We've known each other for over four years. Four years ago you were my world? Are you still?

Bringing the glass to her lips she took another sip of the red liquid. Subsequently the doorbell rang. No. Tonight she didn't want to call him. No. Tonight she wanted to be with her husband. She really did try to work things out with him. But how could she when he was never around. When he was never at home. When he was never with her. Putting the glass down she stood up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened InuYasha came in, and with one swift motion he was before Kagome, kissing her passionately. His hand came around her waist pulling her closer and she went and wrapped her hands around his neck. With his foot he kicked the door closed. Sensually he moved from her lips to her neck and started nibbling and kissing it. Kagome moaned, as she felt his wet tongue on her neck. This man knew what she liked. Picking her up he carried her to the bedroom, kissing her all the way. Soon they were underneath the sheets, naked. Their moans were like a song and the passion they had for each other was overwhelming. Reaching their breaking point they both moaned out each other's name and their lips meet in that one final kiss, before they both climaxed. InuYasha carefully pulled out and laid himself on his back, pressing Kagome to his body. She snuggled to him and put her head on his well-built chest. Exhausted they laid like that for a couple of minutes before InuYasha spoke, "so the bastard didn't show up? Hn?" Shaking her head no, she snuggled deeper into him. With his free hand he stroke her hair.

More minutes passed, before Kagome let go of his torso and looked up at him. "Make love to me?" was her offer, which he gladly accepted. Yes. Believe it or not, everyone, need to feel loved.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Slowly opening her eyes Kagome woke up. The room she was in was still dark, that meant it was either night or some time before morning. Realizing that she must have fallen asleep after their activities, she slowly looked up at the man on whose bare chest she rested her head. Seeing that he too was awake she murmured a light hey.

Her "hey" startled me a little. I looked down at her. She was beautiful. Her gray blue eyes, messy midnight black hair, perfect lips. Fuck. Just looking at her made my little Inu twitch once again. She must have noticed because she seductively smiled at me.

" I see you are fully awake," she stated, I smiled and nodded. She kissed my chin and slowly moved out of my embrace. I watched every move she made as she walked to the bathroom. My little Inu twitched again. Shit! The things this girl does to me. Not even my soon to be ex wife made me feel like this. Kikyo. My Little Inu fell.

I laid my head back and tried not to think of her. No. Such. Luck. I should've realized that she wanted out. But I didn't. And maybe that is the thing that is upsetting me. I know I don't love her anymore. Well not that way. She will always be my friend, my first love. My prima ballerina, who decided to go to Russia and start a ballet school with a well-known ballet choreographer Suikotsu. My eyebrows twitched. She told me that they are only friends, and I believe her. She wouldn't cheat. And that is why she needed out, to start a new life. I'm happy for her. I only hope that I too, can get a second chance with that special somebody. Kagome. If only that special someone wouldn't be taken. I grounded. This really is fucked up!

The sound of the water snapped InuYasha out of his thoughts. A mischievous smirk formed on his face. Moving out of the bed he made his way towards the bathroom. It just happened that he decided to take a shower.

A/N: I'm not really sure how I feel about the first chapter; I must say that I'm far more pleased with the second one. But things needed to be said in the first one, so voila! Please, leave a review and let me know what you think. More you review, more inspiration I get and more I write. - KittyMay
