All My Loving
DISCLAIMER! I DON'T OWN INUYASHA!
Chapter 1
"ARGGH!"
The scream echoed through the small house. Souta Higurashi cringed at his sister's outburst, he knew she was angry, and as much as the eight year old wanted to go up and see what was wrong, he knew better than to talk to her sister when she was upset like this.
Mamiko Higurashi sighed and continued on with her knitting, oblivious to her son incredulous expression set her way, "You're not going to....?" Mamiko sighed, "She needs to deal with this on her own Souta, I really can't help her with this one."
Upstairs, Kagome Higurashi screamed and punched at her innocent pillow. Her angry flamed and seemed to make the whole room heat up from a chill 40° to a steamy 70°. Hot tears filled her eyes then trailed down her face as her anger started to subside and quickly transform into a heart-broken sadness.
Kagome wiped her eyes, pointlessly though as the tears continued to fall rapidly. She dropped forward burying her face into the soft and abused pillow, letting the sobs go and rack her body. Her cell phone rang to the tone of Every Heart by BoA, Kagome's sobs quieted as she reached blindly for her cell before flipping it open.
"Hello?" She answered shakily.
"Kags?" Kagome stiffened, INUYASHA?!?!?!?!
"Oh, hey Inuyasha, what's up?" I prayed that this was going to be a short conversation.
"Not much, I just called to chat," Kagome's insides twisted as she shook her fist at the sky, "You seemed kind of upset when we got to 6th period, is everything ok?"
Kagome exhaled and forced a cheery sounding voice into the conversation, "Oh I was just a little tired, and by the time I got to 6th period, I was kind of sick of Miroku's perversions-"
"Was he touching you?!" Kagome almost laughed had it not been for the hurt that he had put her through today. "No Inuyasha, I was just sick of him messing with Sango and I just kind went into over drive by then." She heard a sigh on the other end of the phone.
"Ok, good, so this wasn't about Kikyou......" Kagome's insides twisted tighter, he was so dense sometimes! Tears welled in her eyes and her throat constricted shut, "I-I hear my mom calling m-me." Kagome winced at her stutter and felt the worry come to her.
"Kagome? Are you sure you're alright?" Tears streamed down Kagome's face as she shook her head before murmuring a soft goodbye and then shut the phone quickly and slamming it down on the bedside table.
Oh Inuyasha, when are you going to realized?
Inuyasha stared at the phone in his hand in confusion. Why did she hang up? What is going on?! Inuyasha was startled out of his reverie when his phone rang Pretty Fly for a White Guy, he flipped open the phone. "What's up Miroku?"
"Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha growled, "Yeah Miroku it's me, what's up?" There was a pause on the other line.
"Can you meet me at WacDonalds?"
Inuyasha stared at the phone incredulously, "Why? You and me never just go out for anything without the girls, what's going on?" The was a pause on the other end again, then a sigh.
"We just need to talk."
And with that, the line was disconnected and Inuyasha was left there, staring at his phone yet again. He growled and threw the phone at the wall, cussing as it smashed and crumbled down the wall. Inuyasha stood and slipped on his jacket as he walked out the room.
This is one screwed up day.
Kagome sat in WacDonalds, nibbling on a small burger and some fries. She stared out the window, her mind drifting slowly, until she spotted her, the most important woman in her best friend's life, his girlfriend.
Kikyou Hamada.
Kagome wrinkled her nose in disgust as the sight of the scantily clad girl. She wore a bright red, skin tight tube top, a 4'' black mini skirt and bright white pumps. Is she going out for lunch or going to a strip joint? Then Kagome saw something that made her heart stop.
Kikyou had herself draped around a boy. And it wasn't Inuyasha.
Inuyasha stomped his foot impatiently in the asphalt as he waited for his perverted friend to pull up. He was on the verge of calling Miroku when he saw the midnight blue Mustang pull up to the curb. Inuyasha hopped into the passenger's seat and stared at his friend, who seemed quite distressed.
"Miroku? You alright?" Miroku shook his head and plastered a phony smile on his face, "Just fine, a little tired is all, and Sango hasn't called yet." Inuyasha groaned, Miroku always overreacted when it came to Sango calling back.
Miroku hit the gas and the Mustang sped down the street, in the direction of the nearest WacDonalds. Inuyasha stared curiously at Miroku, "So what do you want to talk about? What is so important you needed to drag me from the comfort of my home?"
Miroku shook his head silently, then drove in silence for ten minutes before pulling into the parking lot of the WacDonalds. Inuyasha threw a fierce look at Miroku, "What the hell is going on?! You haven't looked at me the entire ride!"
Miroku shook his head as he looked up, meeting Inuyasha's fierce look, "I'll explain in the-" Miroku's blood ran cold as he stared at a scantily clad Kikyou enter the WacDonalds, draped over a high school senior. Inuyasha snarled, "Miroku! What the hell! You'll expla- Miroku? Whoa, dude you ok?"
All the color had left Miroku's face as he stared at the girl entering the restaurant, holding the door politely for the senior. Inuyasha spun around to spot Kikyou walking into the door. "Kikyou? What's she doing here? She hates fast food." Miroku panicked as Inuyasha opened the door and stepped out, heading to the door of the restaurant, Miroku launched out of the car, stumbling the entire way, hanging his head.
He had failed.
Kikyou smiled as Naraku Samyiosho spun her in a circle at the ordering desk (A/N: I don't know what the counter would be called, don't judge!) "So babe, what do you want?" She shivered as his breath teased over her ear and she looked up at the disgusting grease menu above her.
Kikyou looked at the cashier, "I'll have a Diet Coke." The cashier looked at the girl was distaste and then her eyes trailed over to Naraku, "And you sir?" Kikyou watched her boyfriend scan the menu before looking back down at the desperately trying not to blush freshman.
"I'll have a Coke and an order of large fries." The girl fumbled around at the register before declaring their price of $10.56. Naraku payed the girl and smiled as she handed them the food. The girl practically swooned.
Kikyou snorted as she stole her drink from the tray and sat down at a table, unknowingly sitting directly next to Kagome Higurashi. After giving her boyfriend a good lecture about not flirting with other girls, the boy leaned over and planted his lips on hers, earning a gasp from the girl across the aisle, who shot up like a rocket.
"You bitch!"
Kikyou ripped from Naraku and stared up at the fuming girl that stood before her. Kikyou gaped at the girl in shock before standing up herself, "What did you call me whore?" Kagome sneered, "I'm the whore huh, at least I'm not fucked up enough to go behind the back of the most caring and loving person you'll ever meet for a good time with some random bastard that you catch the eye of!"
Kikyou's eyes flared, Kagome could almost feel the heat coming from her anger. "You wouldn't dare tell Inuyasha." Kagome smirked, "There isn't any reason I shouldn't." Kikyou laughed humorlessly, "But there is, you tell Inuyasha that I have been cheating on him, he'll be heart broken, you know how madly in love he his with me."
Kagome's will shattered at the sudden realization, Inuyasha really did love Kikyou, she could see it in his eyes, this would absolutely destroy him, there was no way she could do that to her best friend, her love.......
Kagome's eyes filled with tears of distraught and loss, Kikyou smiled a sickening smile, "Now there, be a good bitch and go run along back to your pathetic little puppy, and remember," Kikyou grabbed Kagome's chin tightly and made her face her, eyes to eye, "We don't want him to find out about this."
"Too late."
Inuyasha stared in horror at what he had just saw, Kikyou had just kissed Naraku, and she acted like she was so perfect, he expected his heart to break and fall apart, but it didn't, all he felt was complete and total hatred. "Kikyou, you good for nothing cheating bitch!"
The fear in Kikyou's eyes was clear and evident, but Inuyasha did not expect her to spin around and slap Kagome in the face, sending her flying to the ground. "You little bitch! If you had just sat and ate you meal.......!" She went to throw a punch at the cowering Kagome, when she was grabbed by her forearm.
The manger held Kikyou in a vice grip and stared at her and the rest of us, "Ma'am, I am going to have to ask you to leave this establishment and take your," he broke, "Companions with you." The man dragged her to the door, and threw her out the door, then ushering us out too.
Inuyasha ran to Kagome's side, trying to see the girl's face, but she jumped up and ran out the door, her hand still glued to her face. Inuyasha groaned and ran out the door too, just in time to see her rip open her car door and slam it shut.
But the car made no show of moving anytime soon, Inuyasha watched Kikyou screaming at Naraku and then she slammed her car door and pouted until Naraku got in and drove away from the restaurant. Miroku placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, "You need me to stay here for a ride?"
Inuyasha shook his head, "No, go on, go home and call Sango." Miroku stared long at his friend before nodding and walked back to his car.
Inuyasha took a deep breath, and approached the still car.
Kagome sat sobbing uncontrollably in her small BMW. Her tears flowed from her red and puffy eyes like tidal waves, passing hotly over the burning flesh on her cheek. But she paid no mind to her cheek, but to what had happened in WacDonalds. She had probably broken Inuyasha's heart.
Kagome hung her head over the steering wheel, What have I done?
There was a knock on the passenger's window, Kagome looked up slowly, then covered her eyes with her bangs when she spotted those well known golden orbs. Against better judgment, Kagome unlocked the car door and curled up into a tighter ball as she felt him settle into the passenger's seat.
They sat there like that for what seemed like hours, before Kagome felt a hand smoothing back her hand gently as new sobs racked her body. She felt strong arms wrap around her, and she was vaguely aware of the fact that Inuyasha had transferred them to the backseat, but his arms stayed around her.
Once again, they sat in silence until Kagome's sobs quieted to small sniffles. Inuyasha then pulled back and brushed the hair from in front of her face and gasped at what he saw.
On her face was a burn mark, not a red mark that Sango usually left on Miroku's cheek, but a burn! "Did she, did she actually use her miko power on you?" Kagome hung her head, but she managed a slight nod before she was held against his warm chest again.
Inuyasha's cheek rested atop of Kagome's head and he rocked her slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I wish I could, I just wish I had known, I mean, I wish I could have stopped this from happening this way, I wish, that you didn't have to get hurt because I dated a bitch." Kagome giggled slightly, but then relaxed into his hold.
"It's ok, Inuyasha, I would have taken that blow any day, it was less painful than anything I've been through." Kagome froze after the last part of the sentence, Inuyasha pulled back and stared into her eyes deeply.
"What?"
Oo! Cliffhanger! Sorry to leave you guys like this, but I couldn't help it, this had to be a chapter story! Maybe some reviews would help speed up the next chapter? Rubs fingers together mischievously Another poll I wanted to add, should I have Kagome push Inuyasha away in an attempt to tell her how he feels and then he sings to her? Or should I just have them both confess? I want to know what my fans want! Let me know and review!
