Choose Your Blade
Kagome stood impatiently as the tiny old lady in front of her slowly lifted a mascara tube and placed it gently on the conveyer belt. People over 70 didn't usually move as slow as this lady was doing, but she was definitely taking her sweet time.
The seventeen-year-old wasn't the type to go around hitting random people. However, in the current situation, she was ready to shove Grandma 'Speed Racer' and give the cashier her money. Her mom noticed how tense she was and put a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Relax, Kagome. It's going to be okay no matter what."
Kagome knew that if she looked at her mom it would be a different story. Ever since three weeks ago when Inuyasha brought her home from a nightmare, everything had changed. She could see the horror clearly even now...
Kagome woke up in the passenger seat of a car. The back of her head hurt like hell, and her vision was still blurry from the intense situation she had just been in. She looked at the driver, who was speeding from what she could tell. Inuyasha glared at the road, tears blazing down his cheeks.
"Inuyasha...?" Kagome whispered
He whipped his head around, intense golden eyes full of misery. "Kagome..." He choked, and then turned his attention back to the road.
She fell asleep then, and found herself in her bedroom, her parents hugging her and sobbing that they shouldn't had gone to the movie tonight, that they would've been there.
Inuyasha had apparently left by then.
The old lady in front of Kagome finished, and Kagome flew up to the counter, putting the pregnancy tests she had chosen in front of the cashier.
What choice did she have? By some miracle she could be sterile and not be pregnant, or she was definitely pregnant with a baby. She didn't know what she would do then - with Sango on a 2-month vacation before school starts and Sakura avoiding her everytime she tried to contact her - she was with just her parent's 'support'.
"Would that be paper or plastic?" The cashier popped her gum and smiled happily.
This was hell.
"Plastic." She got through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile...
Sasuke sat on a park bench not too far from his house. Somehow it had to be sunny outside today, and somehow everyone had to be happy. He mentally slapped himself in the face. How could he do something like that to Kagome? Kagome, his perfect girlfriend. He could still hear her screams of terror and the smell of her tears...
He buried his face in his hands. He was a monster. No matter how angry he had gotten, he should've kept a hold on his 'inner side'. He was ruined...
The crunch of gravel alerted someone's coming presence.
"Oh God please let it be the devil..."
"Sasuke?" a familiar voice asked...
