Chapter 2: His Story

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

When it all broke down

And the Story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

InuYasha Takahashi moved swiftly through the office that Tuesday morning contemplating the decision he just made. He was a businessman, a well-known businessman, one of the wealthiest as well. He was born to think things through, analyze everything before he did it; however deciding to marry his super model girlfriend, Kikyo, was the hardest equation he had ever come across. Sure he cared about her, he could even admit to loving her. She was fun, beautiful, sexy, and would look good as hell on his arm, but there was something else. Something that had him thinking over and over on this decision.

'Kagome'

Kami, it had been a long while since he had seen her; three years to be exact. Was she the reason for him being hesitate on this decision? He thought back to the young girl that had captured his heart long ago. He was a junior when he met her, a freshman. At first it was his intention to just get into her pants and then drop her like a hot pocket. Yes, he was indeed the player in high school. However as he got to know the ningen, he began to see what every other guy did. She was smart, feisty, beautiful, sweet, considerate, the perfect candidate of a mate in his opinion, and back then he had made plans to mate her; he had even explained the process to her which, had made her blush about ten different shades of red. He couldn't see himself without her.

He didn't see how he made it this long without her presence. Being half-inu-youkai, he was transfixed with many scents and gestures; those that Kikyo did not understand. Sure he could admit that when Kikyo had discovered he was a hanyou she flipped out, whilst Kagome took pride and loved him even more. Kagome loved him for him, but he suspected Kikyo did too. Or else she would have ended it when she said she would. That has to count for something right? And he even went so far to appease her that when they were out in public to hide his ears just for her. He loved her that much.

Coming to a conclusion, he decided that marrying Kikyo was a good idea. Kagome probably already had a boyfriend anyway. He couldn't imagine her waiting on a lowly hanyou like himself. Unfortunately, he growled at the thought of Kagome being with someone other than himself, but shook it off immediately. She wasn't his anymore, and never would be.

Reaching his office, InuYasha walked casually to his office, nodded to everyone who congratulated him on his engagement and went straight to his desk. Pushing his call button, he summoned Alexis, a neko demon secretary to his office.

It was only two seconds later when she arrived. Her brown skin was glistening, long black and red hair flowing elegantly down her back, dressed in a white blouse, and black slacks. When looked at him, her eyes were a dark shade of blue and the scowl on her face seemed to be permanent ever since he told her about the engagement. He didn't understand it.

"Good Morning Alex"

She snorted, "Morning"

InuYasha frowned, he wasn't really used to this type of treatment from Alex, usually she was perky, bubbly, and happy, now she was evil, cold, and nonchalant,

"What's with you?"

Alexis placed her hands on her hips and glared at him, "I'm sorry I'm not giddy about having a boss who may have possibly sold his soul to the devil herself"

InuYasha growled, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"You deciding to marry the Wicked Witch of the West!"

"Don't talk about my fiancé like that-

"Right fiancé because Ms. Thinks she's perfect doesn't want to be your mate"

"Alexis-

"I'm done. What did you want? I have a lot to do"

InuYasha frowned openly. He seriously loved Alexis like a sister but the damn woman was as confusing as pie. He didn't what she felt was so wrong about Kikyo when everything he felt had been so right. Shaking his head, he concluded that he would never understand women. "Can you get Miroku on the line?"

She laughed haughtily, "Ah yes, the brother of your true mate, may I ask whatever for?" InuYasha growled again,

"Does it matter?"

"It does since I believe you're about to do something stupid"

"Alexis get him on the line"

"Fine" With that the beautiful Neko walked swiftly out of the room not even daring to glance back at her boss. InuYasha sighed dramatically.

"Miroki Houshi speaking"

Hearing his best friend's voice made him feel a little better; it had been a while since he had seen him, "Roku, what's up?"

"Yash? Whoa man, how you been?"

"Alright how about you?"

"Good good, about to get married to Sango pretty soon"

"Really? So she finally gave in huh?"

"No one can resist me for long"

InuYasha chuckled slightly, "Well speaking of marriage I am getting married as well"

There was a slight pause on the other end, "You're getting married?"

"In four months" Another pause.

"I see"

InuYasha frowned, "What's up?"

"Nothing. Uh, I'm happy for you Yash, wish you the best"

"Thanks man" InuYasha couldn't help but notice the change in tone of his best friend, " Though I would be honored if you would be my best man"

"Best Man?"

"Yes sir"

A longer pause, "I'd have to think about that Yash"

He frowned, "What's there to think about? You've always said you'd be my Best man"

"Yeah, when you were talking about marrying Kagome"

The way his friend said that made him wince. He'd never known Miroku to be a cold person and the way he was reacting now made him wonder what was wrong, "Roku I-

"Listen Yash I'm happy for you and all but I can't betray Kagome like this"

Betray Kagome? "What are you-

"I got to go, I'll call back later"

InuYasha stared at his phone for a long time. What the hell did he mean by betraying Kagome? He hadn't even seen her in the last three years. She should have moved on, he had. Frowning at how wrong the statement sounded he pushed the thoughts back in his head. He couldn't say he really expected her to move on when he had indeed told her that he couldn't live without her and would return soon; however, he couldn't imagine her still waiting on him. They barely talked to each other, hell they didn't anymore. He had sent her many emails text and even called her a thousand times but he had figured she had moved on with her life and forgot about him. So he thought.

Yes, he knew he was wrong for giving her a false promise but that was three years ago. Who's to say that they even felt the same? He cursed himself inwardly. He and Kagome had something that he knew would never go away but Kikyo held his heart now and he couldn't leave her now. Unfortunately he could still hear Miroku's voice saying over And over how he would be betraying Kagome's trust by appearing at his wedding. Growling he figured that he had done enough thinking today. His decision was final he would marry Kikyo no matter what.

Kagome was the past and he had to let her go. Sitting at his desk he pondered how such an easy task could be so difficult.

'Do I still love her?'

Shaking his head, he sighed heavily. This was all too much too handle at the moment. He had a great woman, a steady career, and all the things he had ever dreamed of having and yet there was something missing; something that has been missing for the last three years of his life.
