Obsession Can Kill You

Chapter 3: New Beginnings

Inuyasha ended up getting home extremely late that night. He was sure to get bawled out in the morning by his half brother, Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was his guardian because both of their parents had died in a terrible plane crash, leaving everything to the two brothers. Which turned out to be a lot, millions to be exact.

So the brothers didn't need to work, but Sesshoumaru, being the independent person that he was went to law school and got his degree to be a lawyer.

His encounter with the famous singer left a mark on him, so to speak. He loved her even more than before, despite the fact that she ditched him in the cinema parking lot. He'd do again if he could, no matter how much trouble he got into with Sesshoumaru. He knew, however, that it was just a one time deal, what were the odds that they'd meet again?

'But why do I get the feeling that we'll see each other again?'

Inuyasha just shrugged it off after a couple of minutes and slipped his shoes and shirt off. He left his pants on, slid under the covers of his bed and went to sleep.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Inuyasha hit the button on the alarm clock and lazily pulled himself into an upright sitting position.

'Shit, is it that time already?'

He yawned and got off the bed, stretching on his way over to his bathroom. Brushing his teeth, his mind drifted to the events that occurred the previous night.

'Maybe that was a dream. I mean there is no way I just met the internationally acclaimed "Sex of Pop", Kagome Higurashi, is there?'

"Yeah, I probably just went insane. Next I'll be saying, 'I was the second gunman on the grassy nole!' Yeah that'd be a nice way to go to the loony bin. She probably isn't even in town."

"What?! What do you mean I have to go to school here?!" Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Look. Your mother, you know the woman that gave birth to you, is bitching at me that you are not getting an education. And I don't know if you've noticed, but your mother is a scary and powerful woman. I personally am scared shitless of her and I refuse to be the one to face her wrath just because you refuse to go to freagin' school!"

Kagome just looked up unemotionally at him.

"So what's your point? You're my manager, aren't you? Do you think I care if you're afraid of my mother? Now unless you want to go find another job, I suggest you go and MANAGE!"

The manager paled at her response.

"That is enough."

Now it was Kagome's turn to pale. She turned to see the one person she was afraid of more than anyone else in her life. Her mother. The person who was responsible for her success, whether she wanted it or not. The woman ruled over her life with an iron fist.

"Now Kagome, are you giving your manager trouble? You'd better not be causing trouble again girl. I heard about your little adventure. Your manager was beside himself trying to find you. Don't you think you should apologize for giving him extra work to do?"

Her mother looked her straight in the eye and smiled when she saw her fear.

"Do you think if you were dropped from the label for your irresponsible behavior that you'd have a home to return to? I have a company to run and you dear and a career to maintain. Wouldn't want to end up homeless after all."

She knew she was trapped. She couldn't go back to her mother now, not since... No, she refused to go crawling back.

"All right, I'll go. But no one must know it's me, understand?"

"Good you'll be enrolled immediately."

She left swiftly.

Inuyasha arrived to school and sought out his current girlfriend, Kikyo. He had to do something and he knew it wasn't going to be pretty. He couldn't keep up this charade any longer. He knew why he'd chosen Kikyo for his girlfriend, but she didn't and that wasn't fair. So now he was going to cut free from her, for her sake and his. When he finally found her he took a deep breath and walked up to her.

"Kikyo, uh.. can I talk to you alone for a minute?"

"Sure lover. Be right back Yura."

Inuyasha led her outside of the building so they could talk in private.

"So what do you need Inu-baby?" Kikyo looked up at him in pure adoration.

It was obvious to everyone that knew of the couple that Kikyo was just in the relationship for his vast millions he was sure to inherit in the very near future. Even Inuyasha knew of this, still it didn't make what he was about to do easier. If anything it just made it more complicated. Gold diggers like Kikyo were always harder to get rid of because once they set their sights on someone they just wouldn't give up.

"For a long time now, I haven't felt... I just haven't felt right about this relationship.
And I can't keep doing this to us. I'm using you for my own reasons. And I know you're using me as well, so there's really nothing keeping us together. I want to end our status as boyfriend and girl and just become..."

"Friends?"

Inuyasha looked up at Kikyo, who wasn't phased at all by the whole thing.

"Look if you know I'm using you and you're using me, we might as well stay together. Would you rather break up and have some other girl fall in love with you, following you around like a love sick puppy? I'd think you'd want to keep your relationships simple, and ours is simple. I don't ask for you to fuck me or anything, but any other girl would. I don't care what you do, you can go and fuck anyone you like, it doesn't matter to me at all. See? A nice and simple relationship, no problems for you at all."

"What?! No no! Is that what you think? That I'm interested in screwing someone else and that's why I want to break up with you? That's not it at all! I'm breaking up with you because I don't want to keep using you like this! I don't want this kind of relationship anymore. I'm sure you can find some other millionaire that actually loves you and vice versa. Kikyo there's nothing wrong with you. You're pretty and smart, you should have no problem finding someone else to fall in love with you. That's just not me. Okay? I'm sorry it didn't work out the way you wanted. Now goodbye, Kikyo."

Inuyasha walked away from Kikyo and headed into the building, leaving Kikyo alone to her thoughts.

Kagome walked into the building of her new high school, Midoriko High School.

She looked around at the school, with it's unkempt bathrooms, vandalized lockers, and stained walls. It was the basic nightmare of any famous teen having to attend high school.

"Aww shit."
