I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! WISH I DID, BUT I DON'T.
On with the story!
Chapter Four: Jealousy, Changes & Cheating
It was now April 5th, a new year, when Inuyasha Takahashi saw Kagome Higurashi, his ex-girlfriend talking to Houjo Taishiro, a very pathetic looking boy, after school. Some thought Houjo was attractive with his blue eyes and thick, golden brown hair. But what made him unattractive was that he was tall and lanky and didn't have muscles. Inuyasha scorned.
The eighteen-year-old male spectator frowned as he heard Kagome laugh out at something Houjo had said. Were they dating? Just the thought made Inuyasha scorn in disgust. How could anyone like Houjo? How could she pick Houjo over him?
Inuyasha knew he was downright sexy with silver hair and golden eyes, but ever since Kagome had broken up with him his hair was no longer the color of molten silver, it was temporarily dyed pitch black and that just made him look even more dangerous, dangerously sexy. His skin was flawless and his smile was one that made girls swoon. He was enviable; he was delicious. Why would Kagome want to be with Houjo instead of him?
"Houjo!" Kagome shrieked with laughter as he lifted her into the air and spun her around. "Put me down!"
Houjo just grinned at her with his squinty eyes. "You need to eat more, you weigh practically nothing!"
'You shouldn't eat never again- or breathe,' Inuyasha scowled and turned to walk away. He couldn't bear to see his beautiful ex-girlfriend laugh and play around with a punk like Houjo. What did she like about him? Houjo was so thin; if Kagome ever got in trouble with other guys he wouldn't be able to help her. He was a skinny punk.
What did Houjo possess that he didn't have? The question gnawed mercilessly at Inuyasha's mind. Inuyasha had everything a teenage boy dreamt of. He was eighteen, he could drive, his father was a world renowned guitarist and music producer, his mother was his father's assistant, they were still very much in love and they had given him three other siblings, three pain in the neck sisters.
Inuyasha could also give any girlfriend he had, anything she wanted, money, jewelry, clothes, shoes and most of all his love. He couldn't understand why Kagome broke up with him seven long months ago and never gave him the time of day again. It had hurt him more than the time he broke his arm.
As Inuyasha walked to the parking lot to his brand new, once silver, now black Honda Accord with sunroof. His present girlfriend, Kikyo Miko popped into his head, she hadn't come to school today; he should go see her. He should go see how she was doing. Her mother, Midori Miko had recently died of a terrible fever.
He bit his lip, he should buy Kikyo some flowers and just stay with her a while. But, she was living with her grandparents who were stricter than her mother. Would they let him see her? Hold her? Kiss her? Console her? He doubted it.
Still. He was her boyfriend. She'd expect him to try to see her.
He jumped into his car and then his eyes turned in the direction he knew Kagome and Houjo were. He sighed roughly. He needed to find out what went wrong between him and Kagome but first, he had to see how Kikyo was holding up.
With that thought, he started up his car and sped off down the road to where his girlfriend's grandparents were. He hoped they'd let him see her.
Kikyo wasn't at home weeping for her dead mother, Midori Miko. She was behind her neighbor's rose bushes and in the arms of Muso Onigumo, the guy who had dumped her three years ago but came running back. She smiled at his sleeping face and kissed his lips.
His eyes opened and he gave her a grin. "That was wonderful, Kikyo."
"Thank you," She beamed. "You don't mind giving me one now do you?"
He let his eyes trail down her sweaty skin. She was proportioned wonderfully and she sure knew how to give him a great climax with her mouth, but he would never do the same.
"Baby," He said as he bent his head to claim one of her cheery colored nips. She bent her head back and moaned as his mouth worked upon her. "Sorry I can't." He said.
She looked at him and wondered why not.
Muso looked at his watch and cursed.
"What's the matter?" She asked curiously.
"I was supposed to get some fungal cream for my mother at the Corner Market. Bloody hell she's going to have my head!" He got up and pulled on his boxers.
"So you have to go?" She asked as she weaved her fingers through her blonde hair.
He nodded and kissed her hard on the lips. "I'll give you one next time." Muso said.
"You told me that two days ago." She huffed and reached out to help him button his shirt.
"I know, and I'm really sorry, I can't stay, I really have to go." When he was dressed he kissed her lips once more and ran off down the road, leaving Kikyo naked behind the bushes in her neighbor's yard.
She bit her lip and began to put on her clothes. "Stupid Muso!" She growled. "You never have to go when I'm going down on you but when it's time for you to get down on me you have to leave! You selfish bastard! I don't know why the hell I love you." She sighed. "But I do."
When she was dressed, she left the bushes and went to her grandparents' house. She went to her room, ignoring her grandparents' glares. They knew what she was doing and they had told her about being sluttish like her mother, but she couldn't help it. It was in her blood and she was desperately in love with Muso, or was she?
Inuyasha reached the small house on Mori Street where he knew his girlfriend would be. He inhaled deeply as he parked and went to the door. He had a vase of flowers, a card, a box of chocolate and words of deep consolation in his head.
He knocked.
Mrs. Atsuko Miko opened the door and then glared at the young man in the doorway. She scanned him up and down and watched as his face reddened. He was a handsome boy about eighteen she guessed.
"Yes?" She asked in her steely voice.
He cleared his throat. "Good afternoon Mrs. Miko, my name's Inuyasha Takahashi and I've come to send my condolences."
She glared at him. Was this the boy her granddaughter had just been with? She wondered. Probably. She frowned at him and let him in. She would let her husband stew the boy.
"Sit in the Living Room." She commanded. "My husband's in there so be polite."
"Yes ma'am." He gulped and went into the room.
Seated in an armchair reading a newspaper was old man Miko. The man looked up at Inuyasha who walked in and glared instantly thinking that this young man was the guy his granddaughter was having sex with.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Miko." Inuyasha greeted.
"Sit." He said sternly.
When Inuyasha sat he stared around the room. It was a homely room but he could feel the hostility in it. He sighed and stared at the flowers in his hands. He didn't know why Kikyo's grandparents didn't like him. He had never done anything wrong.
"You're Inutaisho Takahashi's kid." Mr. Miko said suddenly.
Inuyasha nodded. "Yes, sir." He said wondering how old man Miko knew his father. But then again, he shouldn't have wondered because his father was a famous guitarist, everyone probably knew that he was Inutaisho' son.
"I used to know your father." Mr. Miko sighed. "A long time ago, way before you were born. He used to date my daughter, Midori. God save her soul."
"Dad used to date Kikyo's mother?" Inuyasha's eyes widened. That was something new.
"So your father hasn't told you that he dated Midori for almost a year until he met your mother?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "I didn't know."
Mr. Miko let out a rough sigh and pulled out a cigarette. He lit it and offered Inuyasha.
"No thank you."
Mr. Miko took a drag and then let out the disgusting smelling cigarette smoke. "So, you're Kikyo's boyfriend, eh?"
"Yes, sir. I am."
The much older man glared hard at Inuyasha. "I bet you think we don't know what you and Kikyo been up to. Right?"
Inuyasha blinked at the man. Mr. Miko must be going insane or the cigarette was taking over his brain too fast. "What do you mean, sir?"
"Don't act dumb with me, boy!" Mr. Miko shouted and threw his paper to the ground. "I know you've been banging the brains out of my granddaughter!"
Inuyasha nearly crumpled to the ground. He did what to Kikyo? But that wasn't true. He and Kikyo never had sex.
"Sir, you must be mistaken." Inuyasha said putting down the gifts he had brought.
"I may be old but I ain't dumb!" Mr. Takahashi got up and went to the hearth. "I've seen this happen to Midori! You and ya pa just the same!"
Inuyasha glared at the old man, he would not raise his voice, it was wrong to disrespect his elders but he would not be accused of doing something he didn't do. "Explain what you are saying, Mr. Miko."
"You're having sex with my granddaughter and don't even have the decency to come and see how we feel about it?"
Inuyasha bit his lip. "I didn't have sex with Kikyo!"
"But you're her damned boyfriend and we know she wouldn't go off with no other guy!" Or maybe she would.
"Midori was the same way!" Mr. Miko growled. "Sluttish. Midori use to date your father and behind his back she was fornicating with a forty three year old bastard that left her pregnant."
"Mother's dead, gramps." Kikyo said as she walked into the room, her grandmother behind her. She was drying her hair with a white towel but smiling to see Inuyasha. She was wearing a turtleneck shirt and a very short miniskirt.
"Inuyasha!" She went to him happily and was about to kiss him passionately but he held her away from him.
He glared at her hard.
"What's the matter?" She asked as she pouted.
"Your grandparents seem to think I'm having sex with you." He said seriously his dark eyes becoming even darker as he said the words. "Why would they think that?"
She blinked at him innocently and then turned to her grandparents. Did they know about Muso but thought that it was Inuyasha? She gulped. "We're not having sex." She said bluntly. "Inuyasha's just my boyfriend, we're not intimate at all. All he ever does is kiss me."
"Then who were you in the neighbor's rose bushes with?" Her grandmother said while sitting on the nearby couch.
Inuyasha turned to her. "You were in Mr. & Mrs. Taishiro's bushes with someone?"
Kikyo's eyes widened. "Of course not!" She exclaimed. "I was not!"
"You were in those bushes." Mrs. Miko said. "Stop lying!"
Kikyo bit her lip. "Okay, I was there." She said. "But nobody was with me."
Inuyasha could hear the squeaky note of deception in his girlfriend's voice. She was lying and doing a terrible job at it. "Let me see your neck," He said seriously.
Her mouth gaped open at him. "Why?"
"I want to see something."
She bit her lip and then broke down. "I'm so sorry Inuyasha." She cried. "I didn't mean to…"
"It's Muso, right?" He asked suddenly.
She nodded and the tears drained down her face. "I- I'm still in love with him."
He sighed and nodded in understanding. He knew something was wrong with the way his girlfriend was acting, but he didn't know exactly what it was. He looked at her and gave her a soft smile. "I better go."
"Inuyasha?" She called as he began to walk away.
He turned back to her. "It's over between us Kikyo." He said softly.
She nodded stiffly. "I understand, but can we still be friends at least?"
He sighed and stared at her. He should have known that Kikyo was still in love with Muso Onigumo, he definitely knew he still had deep feelings for Kagome. "Sure."
"Really?" She went to him.
He gave her a stiff nod. "I better go."
"All right."
When Inuyasha left, Kikyo began to cry a little. She didn't dare look at her grandparents; she just went back up the stairs to give herself an orgasm since Muso hadn't given her one. She no longer had a boyfriend in school, but at least she had Muso.
Inuyasha came home a raging mass of energy. When his mother heard the front door slam she prayed it wouldn't break off its hinges. Izayoi saw Inuyasha come in, anger evident in the way he said good afternoon, the way he threw his bag to the floor, the way he opened the fridge door, the way he pulled out an apple and the way he bit into it.
"What's the matter, Inuyasha?" She asked him softly.
"Kikyo's a slut." He said bluntly as he massacred the apple.
Izayoi stared with big brown eyes. "Oh honey," She went to him and put her motherly arms around him. "What happened?"
"She's been shagging another guy behind my back. Her grandparents thought it was me, but it wasn't." Inuyasha threw the core into the garbage as if he was shooting a basketball and then he began to pull the apple skin that got stuck in the crevices of his teeth out.
'I knew that girl was no good,' Izayoi said angrily to herself. "Honey, I'm really sorry."
"I'm not all that angry." He said with a sigh as he moved out of his mother's tiny arms. "I guess I kind of knew she was cheating on me."
Izayoi nodded. "But it still hurts, right?"
"Yes," He sighed. "I don't want anything to eat. I just want to go to bed."
"All right." His mother squeezed his shoulder. "I'll dish a plate for you anyway."
He kissed her cheek. "Thanks."
Izayoi sighed as Inuyasha trudged up the stairs. She didn't like to see him so distraught. There had to be a way to make him happy. She would talk to Inutaisho when he came home about it. Inutaisho would know what to do about their forlorn son.
"Hitomi, Keiko and Aiko Dinnertime!"
Ah yes, Kikyo is a slut, Kagome's with Houjo, Inuyasha's changing. What's next? Find out in Chapter 5!
