A/N: Why am I doing writing in the middle of the night? The story threatened me so I had to. But seriously, I had this idea for a while and I need to get it out! It is a one-shot, mind you. I am also doing this because I am sad only one person reviewed for "To be with you again," Chapter 7.
So I'm doing this to compensate, k? So review and check out ALL of my stories!
If you're one on my regular readers, go review. ;) Now on with this one-shot!
Disclaimer: Me + owning Inuyasha = NEVER :(
"The only one"
"Inuyasha, that doesn't go there! Put it near the bed," Kagome instructed, pointing to the left side of the bed. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and let go of the nightstand he was carrying. It didn't faze him because being half-demon made him stronger than most people.
"Keh, woman. You just told me that it had to go there!" He pointed to the far side of the room. Kagome put her hands on her hips. Inuyasha had to admit, she looked cute when she did that.
"That was for the other nightstand, which you decided to move to the other side! So don't get mad at me." She huffed, crossing her arms. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh. He walked up to her slowly and hugged her tightly to her chess. He buried his nose in her wet hair, which only made her smell better.
Kagome sighed and whined, "Inuyasha . . . " She huffed. "Why are you so difficult?" Her question went unanswered when he pulled away, but only slightly enough to let some space between them. He smirked.
"Because you like it." He watched her pout and hit him. He didn't feel it at all and instead gave her the puppy dog eyes. She tried to glance away but he knew she'd give in. And she did.
"Alright, I forgive you." She laughed and leaned closer to his chest, smelling his cologne. She knew she couldn't stay mad at him for long. He smiled and kissed the top of her head lightly.
"That's my girl." He backed away and laughed when she frowned.
"What's wrong? Can't stand the thought of me being away?" He teased.
He always teased her the same way since they met in college. It took three years for them together, but Inuyasha was glad they did. Now, they were engaged to be married and they were just getting their place ready for after the honeymoon. He wanted everything perfect, which lead to him being here with his beautiful fiance, arranging all the furniture she wanted. And decorating. He made a mental note to let Sango help and escape with Miroku.
"No. You can leave." She turned away, nose high and her back facing him. Inuyasha surprised her by hugging her from behind, making Kagome yelp slightly at the sudden contact.
"I don't think that's true. You wouldn't want me to leave if you're going to marry me."
Kagome growled at him but he only smirked. She was learning pretty fast. "Maybe, but right now you have to get the rest of the furniture."
He let her go and was at the door when his phone rang. Since he was going out, Kagome said she'd get it. He smiled, nodding and left. Kagome flipped the phone open.
"Hello?" She breathed, starting to rearrange the flowers.
"Is Inuyasha there?" A feminine voice asked, her voice subtly hinting at something underlying. Kagome frowned. Who was this woman?
"And who might this be?" She asked, standing straight. The other line went silent for a second.
"Who are you?" the voice asked rudely.
"I'm Kagome, his fiance!" She snapped. How dare this woman talk to her that way? Kagome couldn't imagine why Inuyasha would know someone so rude.
"So you're the hussy who stole my man?" The voice regarded smoothly. Kagome almost dropped the phone in shock but it was quickly replaced by anger as she yelled into the phone.
"What? Who the hell are you?" Kagome demanded. She didn't like how this was sounding. It was like in those movies, where the couple are just about to get married when the girl finds out the guy is cheating. She didn't think it was true in this case, but doubt filled her and she couldn't think straight.
"Kikyo. Inuyasha's ex." The voice said simply. "That enough for you to jog your memory?" Kikyo laughed.
"What?" She briefly remembered the girl she knew in college. The woman who had been with Inuyasha before they had got together. It had been so long since she'd heard her name out loud.
"I've been seeing your man behind your back. Get it?" Kagome's mouth went slack and she dropped the phone. her hands shook as she stared at the phone that was laying on the ground. She didn't know what to do, whether to believe Kikyo or to ignore the whole thing. She heard footsteps and quickly whirled around.
"Kagome, where do you want me to put this-"
Inuyasha stopped dead when he saw her face. She was pale and shaking. He took a step toward her, but she backed away.
"What's wrong?" He tried to hug her, but she pushed him away.
"What's wrong? You are, you bastard!" She bent down to grab the phone off the floor and chucked the it at him, even when it still hadn't disconnected. He caught it before it fell but not before she rushed to her closet. "You lied to me." She hissed. "You said you wouldn't see Kikyo again!" She pulled back her jackets and rummaged for a suitcase.
"What are you talking about? I haven't seen her since we all graduated!" He exclaimed, evidently confused. He didn't know where this had come from. She grabbed her suitcase, which meant she was seriously going to leave. He noticed the phone was still on call and put it at his ear, walking out of ear-shot of Kagome.
"Kikyo?" He guessed.
"Inuyasha! I wanted to call and tell you that I broke up with my boyfriend. Want to hook up?" She said casually. Kagome was still rampaging through the house for her things.
"Kikyo, I'm engaged!"
"Oh, I know. I already took care of that. She's really gullible isn't she?" She giggled at the girl. It only served to piss Inuyasha off.
"What the hell did you tell her?" He shouted, loud enough for Kagome to stop. She glanced at Inuyasha, but only frowned.
"GO AHEAD! YUKK IT UP WITH HER! WHY DON'T YOU MARRY HER?" She screamed, picking up her suitcase. Inuyasha closed the phone and caught her wrist. "Let go!" She screeched, but Inuyasha only ignored it. He crushed her to him, even with her protests.
"Kagome, listen to me!" She stopped moving, so Inuyasha grasped her face in his hands. "I haven't been seeing Kikyo!"
"Then why did she just call and tell me just that? It's just like before, Inuyasha." The statement seemed to shock his hands and he let go of Kagome. It reminded him of the incident when he had been with Kikyo, but he hadn't heard from Kagome for about four months. They had never officially ended the relationship, so when Kagome walked into their apartment for the first time after being stranded in Central America with no money, (She'd been robbed), she walked in on him and Kikyo.
It took so long just for her to trust him again. Now everything was falling apart. Kagome used this chance of him not holding her anymore and bolted to the door. But Inuyasha was already pulling her back.
"Don't go, Kagome! Just listen please?" Kagome hesitated, but she didn't really want to leave. She wanted to know whether or not it was true but by his own mouth. If he had, she'd leave and never come back again. If he hadn't then she'd give him some thing really good tonight and hope he wasn't mad at her.
"Go on." She tapped her foot. Inuyasha pursed his lips and decided on how to explain. She just had to believe him.
"Kagome, Kikyo had called to ask me to go back with her-" He started, but Kagome cut him off.
"I knew it!" She yelled and grabbed her suitcase again. She turned but Inuyasha blocked the door.
"I haven't finished! She lied to you Kagome, you have to believe me." He cried, falling on his knees in front of her. Kagome was surprised and touched, but she had to be sure.
"How do you expect me you believe you?"
"By how much I love you. I know it doesn't sound good enough, but please believe me. I have been yours for the past three years," He closed his eyes, hoping with all his might that she would believe his sincere words. "I don't want to lose you. Kikyo, nor anyone for that matter, would ever have my heart. I've showed you how much I care. She's just a tragedy that happened in my life."
He waited to hear it, the final blow to his crumbling heart. He expected her to leave. Even if he hadn't done it this time, he understood where she was coming from. He just prayed that he wouldn't his doubt his faithfulness this time.
Kagome stood, shocked into silence. She had never heard such sweet, sincere words from him, and never in such a pleading voice. She had understood wrong. Kikyo had only wanted to trick her into leaving him and she had almost succeeded.
"I'm so stupid." She fell onto her knees in front of him and hugged him. Inuyasha couldn't believe she had believed him. He hugged her tightly while tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I let the past affect me." She sniffled. " I should have believed you. I'm the worst." She rubbed her eyes, expecting an upset word or two, but Inuyasha only kissed her. She was surprised at first but returned it with as much fervor. Soon they broke away, both gasping for air. Inuyasha leaned his forehead on hers.
"You don't have to apologize, Kagome. I know that it's hard to believe a girl like you would ever want a guy like me."
"I just wished I hadn't been so gullible. I owe you something, okay? Anything you want." She said, without thinking. He smirked at what he thought. He kissed her again, but this time softer and gentler. Kagome didn't understand his intentions, so she kissed back. He pulled her closer until she was almost practically in his lap. He wrapped his fingers in her hair and she did the same.
It finally dawned on her what he wanted, and she blushed at the thought.
"Inuyasha. . ." She said, pulling away from him
"What?" He growled. He captured her lips again. She pushed him back a little.
"Inuyasha, I told you. Not until we get married!" She adjusted her turtleneck and stood. Inuyasha frowned.
"You said anything."
"But not that!"
"Are you sure?" He pulled her close and she started to stutter like a schoolgirl with a hot teacher. Inuyasha chuckled and kissed her forehead again, relishing in her scent.
"That's okay. We'll be married in three day's time. I get what I want then, right?" He asked, letting Kagome go. She smirked and pulled him closer.
"Of course." She breathed, making Inuyasha lose all thought. She pulled away before he could do anything. "Come on, we have to finish the room." Inuyasha growled slightly.
"You better watch yourself when you do that stuff. I might just not ask you." He trailed behind her toward their room, bringing her suitcase.
He'd put everything back. Just like it was before this happened. He hoped that Kikyo would never call again, and even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew that somewhere in the back of Kagome's mind, the doubt would always be there.
He'd made sure that would never happened again. He grabbed the phone and threw it out the open window. He heard the small crash as it hit the floor outside. Kagome came back in.
"Did something just break?" She asked, concern in her voice. Inuyasha pulled her by her hand toward the room again.
"Nothing important." He shrugged. Then, taking her other hand, he grinned. "You're the only one for me," Kagome smiled, knowing to what he was referring to.
"I love you." She squeezed his hand.
He smiled wider, kissing her again and whispering in her ear. "I love you too."
