Chapter 7: The Dilemma (part 2)

Inuyasha took a deep breath as he entered the elevator. This week seemed to get better and better with every day that passed. He looked out into the waiting room of the hospital and caught a glimpse of what it seemed to be Koga and his brother arguing. He was about to step out but the elevator doors shut on him. He leaned against the wall and rested his arms on the banister.

'Koga looked really upset… I wonder what they were talking about.'

Inuyasha shook these thoughts from his mind. Koga really did blow it this time. He knew for a fact that when Koga gets out of control sometimes, he did really stupid things. But even if he did regrettable acts, Koga was a true and great guy. He wouldn't just go around and start fights for no reason. So that leads to the greatest question:

"What the hell did you do this time, Kikyou?" he breathed while looking up at the elevator ceiling.

The elevator halted to a stop and the doors opened slowly. He went down the hallway, peeking into some of the windows that belonged to other patients. He smiled at a woman who seemed to just have given birth and was holding her baby tightly as the father hugged her. Another room had a small boy, connected to a IV playing with a toy airplane, laughing along with an elderly woman. Maybe she was his grandmother?

Inuyasha always had a fear of going to the hospital. Ever since his mother passed away, he vowed to never come back to one; too many memories. He doesn't like death or sadness and hospitals are just the embodiment of both of his biggest fears.

He reached to his destination: Room 301. As he reached for the doorknob, the door opened. He jolted and looked up. An older, taller man, with long black shaggy hair, pale yet beautiful skin covered by a black suit with purple accessories was before him. Inuyasha blushed. The man stared down at him with crimson eyes that made Inuyasha shiver to the core.

What was it about this man's intimidating aura? He had great looks, like one of a Host, but he had the feel of a Yakuza. Who was he?

The man simply slipped on his black sunglasses and smiled down at Inuyasha. He patted his shoulder while closing the door behind him and began to walk down the hallway towards the elevator.

Inuyasha watched him walk down and immediately turned back towards the door when the man entered the elevator and turned to face his direction.

He slowly opened the door, feeling the rays of the sun pouring out of the room. He poked his head inside, looking around. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Kikyou on the ground, coughing up water and holding her chest.

He quickly ran to her side, his heart beating out of control, panic and worry written all over his face. "Hey! Are you all right? What happened?" He helped her get back into the hospital bed; tucking her in and wiping the water off of her face.

Kikyou's coughing finally came to stop as she tried to gain back her composure while she slowly sipped some cold water. Inuyasha breathed and sat on a small stool and watched her. She glanced at him and smiled as he quickly looked down at his feet.

"You're either very kind or very stupid to come visit me Inuyasha."

Inuyasha looked up at her and glared. He was about to say something but held his tongue when he noticed her head bandages.

"I'm here to apologize… on behalf of Koga."

Kikyou looked over to him with a raised eyebrow. She scoffed and sipped her water. Inuyasha gripped his dark jeans; he felt so awkward and antsy. "What happened between you two?"

Kikyou looked back at him and put her glass on her lap. "He simply lost his temper. Maybe I said something to set him off, who knows?" Inuyasha looked back up at her and glared. "Koga doesn't just 'lose his temper' for no reason! What the hell did you do?!" Kikyou's eyes widened in shock and then she started to giggle. Inuyasha looked at her with a confused look. "What?"

"I think that was the first time you've ever spoken back at me."

Inuyasha's face softened and began to relax. "Kikyou… seriously. Why did you come back?" Kikyou twirled her hair. "Aren't you going to ask me where did I go in first place?"

Inuyasha turned his head to the side. "I don't really care."

She turned to him and glared. "You're seriously going to sit there and say you 'don't care'?!" He didn't turn to face her. He got up out of his chair. "I realized something Kikyou. I realized it as soon as I came into this room. Heh, I am so stupid…"

Kikyou's face started to become red of anger. "What the hell are you going on about?!"

Inuyasha turned to her with a smile. "I'm done with you."

Kikyou's eyes widened. She dropped her glass, the water wetting the sheets. Anger washed over her as she got out of bed and grabbed Inuyasha by the sleeve. "You can't just SAY that Inuyasha! What the hell does that mean?!"

Inuyasha brushed her off and shook his head. "It means what it means. I finally realize that you were just a phase to me. The one I really love is Kagome, not you."

Kikyou was shocked. Her arms dropped by her side as she sat back unto the bed. She looked down at her lap the shock still there. Inuyasha rested his hands on her shoulders. "I really did love you Kikyou. Please, always remember that."

Kikyou looked back up at him and threw the glass at him, it smashing on the door in front of him. "You. Will. Regret. This," she uttered with a sinister voice. Inuyasha looked back at her with a shocked expression. He quickly exited the room and slammed the door shut behind him.

He was actually scared there for a second. He's never seen such… hatred in Kikyou's eyes before. "What's going to happen now…?"

Kagome walked up the steps of the train station. She glanced at her phone checking the time. 'I think I am a bit too early…' She looked around for any sign of Houjo. She sighed when she noticed him by the large park fountain feeding some pigeons. She silently walked towards him, clutching her bag in neverousness.

This was the 3rd time she's been 'hanging out' with Houjo these past two weeks. She felt like she was somewhat betraying Inuyasha but then again she was just hanging out Houjo. It wasn't like she was secretly dating him or anything.

For there first 'hang out', they went go to see a movie. It was that new one about some fairy princess falling in love with a human soldier from Earth. She probably would've enjoyed the show more if Houjo wouldn't keep looking at her. He thought she didn't notice but she did. He must've kept glancing over to her 20-30 times. She wanted to say something but it was too embarrassing to ask that in public. When she got home, she texted him and asked. His only response was, "I couldn't help myself." What the hell does that mean? Is Houjo secretly a pervert?

Was it really a good idea to keep on seeing him? With all the crap that going on with Inuyasha, she shouldn't really do anything that might spark anything unnecessary. With Kikyou back in town, there was no telling to what devious new schemes she was up to this time.

What Kagome should really be doing is keep close tabs on her man. She knew that he wasn't a dog or anything, but she's learned time and time again that if she even left him on his own for too long, he would start jumping to conclusions and doing all these other kind of stupid stunts.

As she neared the fountain, Houjo looked up at her with a huge smile. He got up and waved. "Hey Kagome!"

'Too obvious Houjo…' She waved back and flashed a small smile. "Hey Houjo."

Houjo threw the rest of the breadcrumbs to the birds and brushed off his hands. "Shall we go?"

Kagome nodded. They headed toward the city square and walked into a cute café whose theme was superheroes. They were greeted by a peppy female Green Lantern and were shown to their seats by a solemn Batman. Kagome took her seat, smoothing out the ruffles out her powder blue dress.

"Isn't this cool Kagome? This café is an American franchise. All these superheroes are American ones."

Kagome smiled and looked out in the café. She noticed a lot of women dressed as cute male superheroes and the male ones not as much shining or happy. She giggled as a lanky yet tall Hulk came out from the back and pretended to "rawr" at a customer at the bar. She looked back at Houjo as her smile grew bigger. "It's really nice like you said Houjo. Thanks for taking me here."

Houjo returned her smile with an even better one and picked up a menu. "I was hoping you'd like it. I know how much you like the Western world and all of that." Kagome nodded and picked up a menu herself. "Yeah, Inuyasha introduced me to the movies. Ever since watching "", I've been hooked ever since!" Houjo looked over his menu at the sound of Inuyasha's name.

"Kagome…"

"Hm?" Kagome responded as she scanned through the café's meals. They all looked so delicious. They had from burger meals to milkshakes to honey pastries. So hard to choose from when you're on a supposed diet.

"Speaking of… Inuyasha. How are you two doing?" Kagome looked over her menu and put it down. "Can we not?" Houjo sighed. "But Kagome, you can't just avoid it you know." Kagome rolled her eyes and picked up her menu again. "I am quite aware of that Houjo. Don't worry I have the situation under control."

Houjo put his menu down and leaned in. "I heard Kikyou-san was back?" Kagome put down her menu angrily. "Yeah? So what?" Houjo sighed and leaned back in his chair. "It's written all over your face Kagome. You're worried." Kagome huffed and sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. "Well wouldn't you be if the guy you loved's ex-girlfriend came back? Then you come to find out the boy you love is still in love with said ex-girlfriend?" Houjo raised an eyebrow. "Inuyasha is still in love with Kikyou-san?" Kagome began twirling her hair. "…Something like that."

Houjo leaned in again clasping his hands together and resting his chin on them. "This could be bad…" Kagome undid her arms and leaned in. "What do you mean by that?" Houjo looked up at her. "Well, I mean. Inuyasha was head-over-heels with this girl right? She's quite the manipulator I hear."

"Go on."

"Well, it's just me theorizing but… Perhaps even now…"

Kagome quickly rose out of her seat and grabbed her bag. She started to head to the door. "W-Wait Kagome!" She didn't stop. She did not want to hear things like this. She wanted to believe in Inuyasha. She believed that he would choose her in the end. Why is it that everyone is telling her otherwise? Houjo caught up to her and grabbed her arm. She immediately shook him off and turned to face him. Her face was twisted in anger and it seemed she was close to crying. "What could you possibly have to say now? What! Inuyasha's not good for me? He's just some two timing bastard that doesn't know what he's got? Please, dish out your lame pick up lines now while I still have the patience Houjo!"

Houjo's arms dropped to his sides and stood there silently. Tears started to roll down her cheeks now waiting for his response. Houjo sighed and gently grabbed her arm once more, pulling her to him kissing her gently. Kagome stood, eyes widened in shock. Houjo departed from her and showed a small smile. "Wanna start over?" Kagome's face immediately flushed as she turned around and headed to the train station hurriedly.

Author's Note: Good for you Inuyasha! Am I right?! :C

It's about time you use your brain not just on the battlefield but for his love life. But it's not over yet! Ha ha. Don't think that Kikyou would give up that early! I mean, when does she really give up... ;;sigh;;

Future chap. warning(s): Some definite boy x boy smut. I can count on you for that. [It's about time!]
