Chapter 3
It was the Saturday of Sango's sleepover with Raven, and they are sitting in her bedroom, just talking. She turns to her smiling friend, and asks:" So Raven, how did that date go with the French guy?" She blushes. "Well, let's just say that it was very ..exiting." Sango says, begging: " Tell me everything, I want to know." Raven sighs. "Well, we went to a very romantic restaurant. Then afterwards, we started kissing. And we couldn't stop, so one thing led to another, and he took me to a hotel room, then made love to me." Sango gets a strange feeling inside of her, and says:" No man makes love to a woman that soon, if he really cares about her. Raven, I don't trust him." "Something sounds fishy about this man." Raven shakes her head. "What do you expect? He's French. I bet over in France, the men are like that." Sango says:" I've been dating Miroku for 5 years, and we still haven't made love with each other. I don't trust your boyfriend." Raven shakes her head. "You're just paranoid Sango. Nothing is up with my boyfriend. Pierre is sweet." Her friend rolls her eyes. "Whatever, I don't want to talk about him. You guys kiss around college at lunch, it makes me sick. Raven, I hope for your sake I'm wrong about him." She hugs her friend. "Thanks for being understanding ."
Meanwhile ,at the same time Sango's sleepover is taking place,Inuyasha is on the computer, browsing for information on Raven's boyfriend. He types in 'Pierre LaRoux' in the search engine, and is shocked at what he sees. There's pictures that show him kissing another woman. He clicks , to see where they came from. He sees yesterday's date on them, and is filled with instant rage. The pictures are on this guy's profile page, so Inuyasha scrolls down to see the information. It reads:" I am in love with a beautiful woman named Maria. She is the best wife I could ask for." In a burst of anger, he shouts :" That cheating asshole! He is two-timing Raven." He reads farther, and sees that his wife goes to the same college as them. Inuyasha gets upset, and can't figure out why he is getting this way over her. Then, something hits him. He realizes that he's falling in love with Raven, but she's taken by a man that doesn't really love her. Inuyasha lays back on the bed he's sitting on, and stares up at the ceiling. He says to himself:" I can't believe this. He's breaking her heart as I sit here, and I can't say anything. Why would Raven ever want to love me for? She loves that cheating French asshole. They kiss around the college campus, it makes me so sick!" "I should be the one kissing her affectionately, not him. Pierre doesn't deserve a beautiful intelligent woman, like Raven. She should be mine..oh I'm so stupid. If only I asked her out on a date, then none of this would've happened." Inuyasha starts to blame himself, when a tall and muscular man, that looks similar to him walks in. He asks:" Are we having woman problems?" Inuyasha shakes his head. "Dad, it's none of your business." He sits down, and says:" Anything involving you is my business, you're my son. Now what's bothering you?" Inuyasha sighs. "Alright, there's this woman named Raven ,and I met her at college. Well I've known her for about 3 weeks, and I'm falling in love with her. The problem is, she is taken. She's with this cheating asshole, look." His father reads Pierre's profile page, and says:" Maria? I thought you said her name was Raven." Inuyasha nodded. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying. And look at these pictures." His dad looks at the pictures, and feels his son's anger. "No man should ever do that to a woman." Inuyasha asks:" What do you think I should do?" His father sighed. "Well what I would do, is listen to your heart." "Guys like this always get caught. Wait until you feel is the right time. Then when you are ready, confront her." Inuyasha thinks about this for a minute, and sighs. "I guess you're right. I only wish that this wasn't happening to her, she's the real victim here, not me. I can't help but to worry about her. What's going to happen when she finds out he's cheating on her?" His father sighed. " When this happens, you let that woman know how you feel." Inuyasha sighed. "What if Raven rejects me? She can't love a man like myself." His father puts his hand on his son's shoulder. "Inuyasha, stop putting yourself down. You need to have more courage than that, if you really want something." "Don't let this Pierre guy win. Tell Raven when the time is right, about him cheating on her." "If she really cares about you, then she'll understand." Inuyasha looked at the computer screen, then sighed. " I hope so. Why does love have to be so complicated?" His father laughed, and said:" Because it just is . When you're truly in love with someone, you still care about them, in the roughest times." "How do you think I met your mom? The exact same thing happened to me. But I never gave up." "Inuyasha, this something
you'll have to fight head on. I can tell you really care about her, she sounds like a sweet woman." Inuyasha smiles. "Raven has the prettiest shade of eyes. And her attitude.. I love everything about this woman." His father laughed a little. "I can tell you are head over heals for her. Come on, let's print out this dirt on Pierre." Inuyasha quickly regains his confidence. "Yeah ,let's print it out. I can think of how to confront Raven, when the time is right." His father looks at him. "Now that's the side of you, that will gain you success."
