(Disclaimer: Yet again own nothing.)
InuYasha and she had been friends for a long time and Kagome knew all about Kikyo and her, "Physic gift." Kagome rolled her eyes as she thought of that. Kikyo had transferred into their school much to Kagome's extreme displeasure that she made sure to hide from InuYasha who was not only drop dead gorgeous but a half demon. He kept his long white hair tied back into a braid and his bright amber eyes never missed anything. Kagome's once brown eyes which had now turned black teared up as she thought of what had happened next. When she had told him the news about Kikyo his personality and the way he treated Kagome changed completely. He had started talking to her less and being easier to tick off. Then the bomb dropped.
InuYasha walked up holding Kikyo's hand a few days after she had arrived. He walked up to Miroku, who was dating Sango, and at the moment holding onto her waist and Kagome. He looked extremely nervous. "Hey guys." He said. Kagome looked down at the pavement for fear of ticking him off. "Um Kagome can I talk to you?" He asked. Kagome's head jerked up and she smiled a bit. "I predict you are in for bad news." Kikyo said with a small smirk. Kagome shook her head in disbelief and followed InuYasha. They stopped a few years away.
"So how have you been?" He asked first off. Kagome blinked but nodded. "Okay, and yourself?" He smiled happily. "Really good." He replied. "Oh and why is that?" She asked trying to keep the sarcastic edge out of her voice but failing. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked eyeing her skeptically. Her eyes came up and locked with his. "Um well you have been kinda erm grumpy lately." She said quietly waiting for the out burst. Instead to her amazement he laughed. "Well yeah it's just been kind of a stressful week." He shrugged and she looked him in the eyes for a moment before looking away. "And what has happened to relieve your stress?" She asked. "Well that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." He said. Kagome's heart dropped and she realized Kikyo's prediction was coming true. She swallowed hard trying to get rid of the lump in her throat. "Well Kikyo and I are dating now." He said in a rush. The air left Kagome's lungs and she felt like she had been punched. "Oh." Came her soft reply. InuYasha knew he had messed up by the look on her face. "But I did get you something." She sighed and looked up putting on a fake smile. "Oh really! You shouldn't have!" She said trying to sound happy. "Well seeing as I won't be at your birthday…" He stopped and closed his mouth quickly. "What?" She asked. "Well Kikyo and I were going to go to the beach that weekend…" Kagome's mouth fell open and InuYasha wanted to eat every word he just said. Tears filled her eyes and she looked down trying to blink them away. "Oh… What happened to 'I promise I will come to your birthday Kagome? Wouldn't miss it for the world?'" She asked feeling slightly angry. "That was before…" He started, "before Kikyo." Kagome finished. "Yeah but here is your present." He said handing her a box wrapped in silver paper. She took it from him and tried to smile all though she knew the tears running down her cheeks gave her away. "Thanks." She said and turned to leave. She walked past Sango, Miroku, and Kikyo trying to conceal the tears until she got into the building where she burst into a sob.
InuYasha's ears drooped inside his hair which he had carefully covered them with. His sensitive nose picked up salt water and Kagome's scent. His fault. It was all his fault she was crying like that. Kikyo came up and hugged him. He only returned it with half the effort.
Sango watched this and turned to look at InuYasha. She could tell by the look on his face Kagome was upset. She took a step toward him to smack him in the head but Miroku held her arm. "I shall speak with him," she looked at him and found him surprising serious, "you go speak with Kagome." He finished looking down at her. Sango nodded and headed towards the building Kagome had run into. It was H building she observed as she walked up to the doors.
Miroku turned and walked towards InuYasha. His face was dead serious and his eyes were carefully hardened to a point it would scare the hanyou. He reached InuYasha after a mer three strides. "Kikyo may I please speak with my dear friend alone?" She looked as though she would protest but saw the seriousness to this young man and left in a hurry. "InuYasha?" He looked down at the pavement. "What?" WHAMP! "What the hell!?" He yelled looking up rubbing his head which now was growing a knot. "I thought you bought Kagome's present because you were going to tell her you liked her not because you were going to give it to her as an apology!" InuYasha sighed and looked back down. "I was but then Kikyo…" The poor hanyou shrugged. "InuYasha I should smack you again, maybe knock some sense into your head but that is my Sango's job and she is, at the moment, trying to comfort Kagome which is your job. So get to work." Miroku said pointing to H building which the last building in the line. "I know you knew Kikyo a long time ago and you think you owe her something but InuYasha you don't. You didn't promise her a thing. It's not your fault she turned to drugs. You can't help her. But you can help another young woman who is hurting right now." Miroku said crossing his arms and becoming pensive after InuYasha had not moved. InuYasha sighed and looked at Miroku. His golden eyes puzzled and thoughtful. "What should I do oh great Miroku?" He asked with a tiny smirk.
