(A/N) This is my first InuYasha fanfic and I do not own InuYasha. InuYasha is the property of the ingenious Rumiko Takahashi. I just own the plot. I also do not own "How Could You" by Mario.

InuYasha walked down Wall Street with his hood on top of his head as the snow began to fall. Nothing in the world could reverse the pain-stricken look his face adorned. When he reached his apartment complex, he flung the door open with a powerful force and walked in with his head hung low. He reached the top floor in a matter of seconds, via elevators, and walked to his room. He entered the huge living space and kicked his shoes off leaving them leaning against the far wall.

He picked up the remote to his personal iHome and within seconds the room was filled with a beat of saddening rhythms. He flopped on his oversized king bed and relaxed as his mind kept up with the words to the song...

It's kinda crazy, baby, how I remember things.

Like where you came from and how you had nothing.

I went and made you fly, put extras on your ride;

didn't miss a birthday now you can't even remember mine.

You made it clear to me; you wasn't down for me.

Love made me blind baby, but now I see.

You had things up your sleeve. Don't even lie to me.

I even heard it from your family...

How could you let somebody lay where I lay?

How could you give him everything that we made?

How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?

How could you? How could you just forget about me?

How could you teach him all the things I taught you?

How could you put him up to the ghetto Kama sutra?

How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?

How could you? How could you just forget about me...?

You must be out yo mind. You've got a lot of nerve to think I'm gonna chill after all the shit I heard.

I damn well carried you. I could've married you.

Good thing I found out 'fore I bought that 7kt for you.

I know you're sick about the way I found you out.

Go ahead and pack it out. I hope he's got room at his house.

You should have thought of me before you hopped in the sheets.

Damn! I can't believe that you did this to me...

The song was abruptly interrupted by a knock at his apartment door. He paused the music long enough to dawn a face that emphasized how pissed off he was. He stood and made his way to the door.

"Who is it?" InuYasha asked a little harsher than he intended to.

"Inu-baby! It's me," came a high pitched voice from the other side of his door.

"You know you've got a lot of nerve to show your cheating ass around my home anymore!" InuYasha barked at her through the door.

"But I missed you so much baby," the female said rubbing the door requesting permission to enter.

"I'm sick of your lies Kikyou. I'm sick of all the pain you've put me through. I've given you plenty of chances and each time you disappoint me. I can't stand listening to your bullshit anymore than I can stand the heartache. I want you out of my life for good. Do you understand?" InuYasha shouted through the wooden-paneled French door separating the two of them.

Kikyou gasped at his sudden outburst and looked taken back by the information he had just shared. She rested a hand on her chest because it felt like a major piece of her life was being taken from her. Her very heart was aching from the thought of losing the only one that loved her for who she was. She hadn't even intentionally meant to sleep with Naraku, a complete stranger that showed up and seduced her. When InuYasha stopped by earlier, he had heard noises indicating that Kikyou was not alone in her house. He took a moment to allow his mind to register what he was hearing. Kikyou had been getting on his nerves lately, but he never thought she was planning to cheat on someone that had literally spoiled her. He poured his heart into the relationship and she betrayed all of his work. When he turned to walk away, the door to her house opened revealing a very shocked Kikyou.

He didn't even wait to let her speak and explain before continuing his walk down the long street leading home. She nervously struggled to pull her jeans so she could follow him, but when she reached InuYasha she couldn't help but catch the quick gleam of red strike his eyes.

"Will you just talk to me, baby," she said grabbing for his arm. She was in turn surprised by his speed in removing her hand from his person and continuing home

"Kikyou," InuYasha started.

"Yes," she replied.

"Go to hell," he said coolly and walked out as Kikyou shivered against the bitter sting of his words and the cold of New York winter.

After she relived the events of earlier, she whispered something through the door that she believed he couldn't hear but was mistaken as he picked up on every word.

"I wouldn't take me back either."

After that, she left and InuYasha slid to the floor on the other side of the door.

"Goodbye, Kikyou," he said softly.
