"Why the hell should I care what she does!?" Inuyasha yelled as he drank some more sake. "It's not like she loves me back or ever will!" He yelled loudly while he stood in the middle of his hallway with a sake bottle in his hand. "If she wants to marry that bastard then let her! Whatever she does with him is no concern of mine." He sat down on his twin sized bed that was covered in red sheets and a navy comforter with white pillows (Sorry if the colors don't go well together). Inuyasha stared at the caramel colored wall in front of him in anger and hate before realizing something.
'I shouldn't be getting mad at Kagome. I should be mad at myself for not speaking up sooner.' He sighed sadly before receiving a knock at his apartment door. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." He put the bottle of sake down and stood up
Before he turned the doorknob, he caught his brother's disgusting stench. Growling Inuyasha flung open the door and saw the one person he hated most in the world standing before him: Sesshomaru. "What the hell do you want, you bastard?" The half-demon clung tightly to his door in anger and hate.
"I was wondering why you weren't at the ceremony." Sesshomaru stated without emotion.
"What I would like to know is why you really married Kagome."
"You want to know the real reason?" The older brother got into his face. "It's because she never liked me back in high school. I knew you loved her so I thought I'd try and get her to marry me before you could ever get the chance to tell her you loved her. Of course, I had to do some wooing and take her on quite a few dates which I absolutely hated before I could propose." Sesshomaru smirked which pissed his brother off even more.
"And what about Rin?" Inuyasha growled, knowing his damn brother had been dating Rin while trying to get with Kagome.
The full blooded demon paused and looked away. "Well, Rin knows that Kagome and I are married. She was at the ceremony."
Inuyasha smirked happily. "She was bound to find out sooner or later and I'd pick sooner. Seeing as how I wasn't going, I thought I'd give away my invitation and Rin was visiting so I gave her mine. She missed seeing you so I assumed it'd be great for her if she went."
"Don't lie to me Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru barked angrily, slamming his little brother against the wall. "You wanted to see me in pain when I saw her!"
"You deserved it." Inuyasha's tears finally flowed down his cheeks. "After taking Kagome from me I can't do shit!"
"You're a half breed. That's to be expected, especially coming from you." The demon dropped the half demon to the floor and began walking away until Rin came walking out of the elevator and towards him.
She paused in midstep when she saw him walking away from Inuyasha. Swallowing, she kept her eyes focused on Sesshomaru as she made her way towards Inuyasha who only stared at the ugly, orange, peeling wall ahead of him. As she passed him, she made sure her long dark hair swayed back and forth, giving off an amaryllis scent that smelled similar to Christmas pine (or so I've read online).
Sesshomaru had to stop himself from shoving the young woman against the disgusting wall and making love to her. She was the only one who knew Christmas pine was one of his favorite scents; he had been the one who had told her everything about himself. He lied to his wife about practically everything that he told her and even to his parents. Rin had told him everything about herself as well. They had kept their relationship a secret all of high school and to make sure no one found out about it, Sesshomaru would tell people he slept with some random girl from another school. Rin of course knew he didn't. But after they all graduated, he changed.
Shaking his head and coming back to the real world, he realized he had kept Kagome waiting too long downstairs. With one last look back at Rin and his brother, he quickly rushed into the elevator. When the doors closed, he let all his anger out on the metal walls all the way from Floor 8 to Floor 1. He kicked and punched and threw his tantrum until he reached his final destination. When the doors opened, he stood up straight and smoothed out his black coat.
Kagome smiled at him happily when he stepped out. He smiled back though he wasn't exactly happy to see her. 'I wish she were Rin instead. I'd actually be happy.' But then again he was the one who had screwed up their relationship by sleeping with the biggest whore in the school and he didn't even mean to. 'That slut had drugged me and then pulled my clothes off! Then the next day she told everyone I had slept with her. And Rin had actually believed that bitch.' Silently he picked up their bags and headed back to the limo.
Seeing that her husband was lost in thought, she decided she'd bring him out of it. "Sessh?"
Being called by his old nickname that only one girl was allowed to call him brought him back. "Yeah? What is it?"
"Shouldn't we get going? My mom wants to say goodbye."
"Okay then. Let's go." Sesshomaru spoke, still thinking about his and Rin's relationship.
Kagome could tell something was bothering him by the way he stared off into space. She was ready to ask him what was on his mind but decided against it. He would talk when he was ready; right now they had a flight to catch to the Bahamas. She watched him set their bags into the trunk quietly. 'I suppose our honeymoon isn't going to be as great as I had hoped.' She sighed lightly and climbed into the backseat a few seconds before Sesshomaru followed her.
"What happened?" Rin helped her friend up after Sesshomaru had quickly left.
Inuyasha looked up at her sadly with his adorable hazel puppy eyes. "Sesshomaru stopped by." He walked back into his apartment with Rin following.
It was quiet in the room until Rin said "Yeah, I noticed." She looked away upsettingly, letting the room go quiet once again. She missed him terribly and it actually seemed to hurt when she saw him at the wedding. Did Inuyasha want her to feel horrible and troubled when she saw Sesshomaru and Kagome together? No. That couldn't have been the reason. Inuyasha was a good friend and had never hurt her like that. Ever. Maybe he had sent her there for another reason, but what was it? She was about to take a guess when Inuyasha interrupted her.
"He doesn't love her." His hard and angry voice drew her attention.
"What?" Rin stared up at the half demon curiously with her soft, brown eyes.
The 24 year old growled and made a fist, getting ready to punch something. "I said he doesn't love her!" He shouted. "The only reason he married Kagome was because 1) She was the only girl that never fell for him in high school and 2) because he knew I loved her!"
Rin swallowed, trying to stop the tears that began flowing down her light skin. 'How could he do such a thing?!' She squeezed her eyes tightly to keep from bursting out in even more tears. 'He saw me there! Did he even care I was there? Even after I left him, I still loved him!' "Inuyasha!" She finally burst out, shocking the silver haired half demon as she wrapped her tiny arms around his tight waist. "What do we do now?" The 22 year old woman, who was nearly three years younger than the man she loved, knew what her friend was going to say so before he could say a word, she said "The people that we love are together and we're both hurting because of it. Don't we have to do something?" She tightened her grasp.
"I think… the only thing we can do… is either move on or wait and see what happens." Inuyasha didn't look down at the young woman other than to unwrap her arms from him.
She pulled back and stared at him, not wanting to believe what he had just said to her. "What?" She whispered. Taking a step back from Inuyasha, she brought her hands up to her chest angrily. "What do you mean 'move on or wait and see what happens'?!" A lone and final tear rolled down her right cheek. But Inuyasha never answered. He didn't even look back at her. He seemed to be too distracted by what was behind Rin by the way his face was scrunched up angrily. "What do you want? Shouldn't you be at the airport by now?"
Shocked and curious by what was wrong with him, Rin turned around to see Kagome and she knew why Inuyasha was angry. Turning away, Rin whispered that she'd be out in the hall and headed passed Kagome; jealous that she was with Sesshomaru.
Once Rin had left, it was quiet between the two as the now married woman just stood in front of the closed door, rocking back and forth on her feet nervously while the half demon glared, baring his fangs angrily at her.
Kagome opened her mouth to speak but was beaten to it by Inuyasha. "I seriously would LOVE to know how you could fall in love with an emotionless bastard like my uncaring half-brother." She wondered the same thing after Miroku and Sango had spoken to her at the reception.
Flashback
After she had danced with her new husband and a few people had congratulated her on getting married, she searched for Miroku and Sango, eventually having to take her heels off. 'Damn. These heels are killing my feet.' Finally seeing her two friends standing right next to the desert table after searching for nearly 7 minutes, she sighed and walked up to them. "Miroku, Sango. Here you guys are." She took a deep breath before speaking once more. "What were you saying before my mother interrupted us?"
"Well," The black haired 24 year old began. "We would like to know if you've ever loved Inuyasha."
Kagome was a bit shocked but realized she didn't even have to think about it. "I realized I loved Inuyasha when I turned 17. I never thought Inuyasha would love me back so eventually I, well, I…" She sighed upsettingly.
"You gave up." Sango finished for her and Kagome nodded, realizing that it had been a huge mistake to give up on loving her best friend. "But why was he so afraid to tell me he loved me?" Kagome almost interrogated them.
Miroku looked at her with hard and dark violet eyes.
"Possibly for the same reason you never told Inuyasha you loved him."
Kagome wanted to cry but she knew that if she did, Sesshomaru would know. "What should I do now? I mean I love Sesshomaru and Inuyasha loves me but I don't know if I still love Inuyasha."
"Think about how many times Sesshomaru's told you he's loved you." Miroku spoke wisely. "Then think about how you fell in love with him."
End Flashback
"I-I don't know how I fell in love with him." Kagome spoke aloud mostly to herself.
This pissed Inuyasha off even more. "You don't know?" He tried staying calm by lowering his voice and Kagome could tell he was doing his best too.
She had learned years ago that whenever he's angry at her or any of their other friends, he tries to stay as calm as possible. That was one of the reasons she had fallen in love with him. She was about to smile lightly until she realized Inuyasha had her trapped, his arms on either side of her head.
Inuyasha had backed her up against his white wall while she had been lost in her thoughts. Gritting his white teeth angrily as he stared into her dark brown eyes. 'Why does Sesshomaru always win!?' His claws began scratching the wall behind Kagome.
Let me know if I need to make any changes or how well I did.
