AN: The next one in my crazy little series. This is by Avril Lavigne, by the way. (grins)

I Don't Give a Damn

Sesshoumaru couldn't believe it. He leaned against Kagome's front door, watching with narrowed eyes as Kagome and Inuyasha talked at the end of the driveway. Inuyasha's back was to him, but he could hear the "honest" pleading in his voice.

"Please, Kagome, I promise you I'll stand by you. I'll do whatever you want! Just please, return to me! I'm begging you!" He looked ready to get down on his hands and knees, and judging from the amused expression on Kagome's face, she was waiting for him to do just that.

"Would you really?" she asked dryly. "Personally, I think that would be a sight to see."

Inuyasha winced at her tone. She wasn't being cold or standoffish. Mirth shone in her eyes. His pathetic display was probably the funniest thing she'd seen since watching Cartoon Network the night before. And that was saying something considering the fact that Sesshoumaru and Miroku had been poking fun at everything that night.

"Come on, Kagome." Inuyasha begged. "Please, just give me one more chance!"

Kagome grinned. "Why?"

He glared at her. "You can't tell me you haven't been hurting." he snapped. "I didn't want to hurt you, Kikyou seduced me, and now I'm coming back, 'cause I don't want you to hurt anymore!"

"I'm rolling on the floor laughing my butt off." Kagome shot back. Her grin was a genuine smile. "You honestly think that you hurt me? It was a blessing when you called it off. If you hadn't, I would have."

"I don't believe you." Inuyasha said flatly. "In fact, I'll prove it." With that, he leaned forward and kissed her.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened in surprise, even more so when he saw Kagome kiss him back. There was nothing passionate about it, even though Inuyasha was clearly trying to make it such. She pulled away and smiled at him.

"Go home, Inuyasha."

He looked surprised. "What? You didn't like it?"

She laughed then, a full-blown laugh, and Sesshoumaru was hard-pressed to hide his smirk. Inuyasha was in such deep trouble now.

"I only kissed you to say good-bye." she said with a smile. "Truth is, I don't give a damn." With that she walked back up the drive to where Sesshoumaru was waiting. She grinned at him. "Dang, I've wanted to do that for a while."

He laughed. "Remind me never to piss you off."

"Oh, I'm not pissed." Kagome said, leaning against his side. "Being pissed implies I care."

"And you don't?"

"Why would I cry over some stupid guy?"

He grinned. "Point taken."

AN: Ok, I don't know about you, but I fail to see the crack side of that. I think it's just funny. That song describes me to a t when it comes to boys, so I just had to write a story with it.

Oh, and am I the only one who thinks that Kagome would be so much better off if she would do this to Inuyasha in the manga? I mean, nothing against him or anything, but he'd make up his mind a whole heck of a lot faster if she did. (grins) Review, please!
