Hey guys. The reviews were lovely, as usual! :) Here's the new chapter.

Kisses In The Rain

Alright so, I don't prepare for a date like the average guy does. Oh no, in fact, I go all out. Most guys would sprinkle on a little cologne, maybe gel their hair up, and throw in a breath mint.

I'm telling you right now, Inuyasha Takahashi does NOT do that. To get ready to meet Kikyo, I brushed my silver hair that I had WAY too much of, I even combed it a bit, in the place of a breath mint, I drank an entire bottle of Listerine, don't worry, its all good because I'm half demon.

As for cologne, my natural scent was enough to make the girls swarm, when I started dating Kagome, the first thing she told me was 'you smell really good'. Awesome.

Lastly, was of course, what I was wearing. Now, I'm sure Kikyo would prefer I wore nothing at all, but there were gonna be innocent bystanders around so...

I wore a thin white shirt with a white beater underneath, leaving the over-shirt open so, passerby ladies could get a pretty good look, a pair of blue jeans that were baggy and had a chain attached to them, with my favorite white Air Force One sneakers. I threw on my dog tags for good measure, yeah go ahead make your dog joke.

I look in the mirror attached to my wall, and I can't help but smirk. Damn, I'm sexy.

I snatch my car-keys off the night stand and run down-stairs, down the spiral stair case, where I succeed in almost killing my human mother.

"Ah! Inuyasha, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Mom yells, as she picks up a few pieces of paper she dropped when I ran into her.

A nervous laugh escapes me, as I bend down and help her pick a few papers too. "Sorry, mom, I'm on my way out, I got a date."

At this, Mom looks at me suspiciously. "Really? You're over Kagome already?"

Can't help but roll my eyes at her. Hopefully she didn't notice. "That was weeks ago, mom."

"Yes, but, you were so torn about it, who are you going on a date with?"

I sigh, and proceed to pick my small mother up, and move her out of my way, which gets me yelled at.

"This girl I met today, Kikyo, Me and Miroku met her today, I asked her for her number."

"Mhm."

"Can I go now?"

"Will you promise not to pick me up again?" She says, reaching up and pinching one of my ears, and I have to keep myself from flinching.

"Yeah, yeah." I tell her, as I continue running down the stairs, and then out the door.

I jump into my Mercedes, and rev the engine. Mom and Dad had come back from dancing because Dad actually pulled something trying to tango. Weird.

Now, I'm not going to pretend that I still wasn't a little bothered by the fact that I was still single, and still very much so in love with the girl that equated my feelings to dog shit, but as Miroku told me, as much as I hate to admit it, since he's such a fucking pervert, but it would show everyone, and maybe even myself that I was making an effort to forget her.

I made a right on Musashi Street, which left me only a block away from this restaurant called Ni Saki, which is where me and Kikyo agreed to meet. If things went slightly as planned, we'd only be taking my car back to her place tonight. Wink wink.

About ten minutes later, I pulled into the parking lot of Ni Saki, not bothering with the Valet, because I don't trust them with my car, I parked the car.

Once I step out, I feel the rain pouring down, and I start to jog towards the entrance a little, the cold air brushing against me slightly, but it doesn't bother me too much.

When I'm finally inside, I spot Kikyo out immediately. She's sitting at a table in the center of the restaurant, and man oh man, she is hot. She's wearing a red mini-skirt, and red is my favorite color, which earns her some more hotness points, and a black blouse, with her hair pulled up. You know, now that I think about it, with her hair pulled back, her face looks even more like Kagome's...... AH! Stop it! Must not compare her to Kagome. They're two completely different chicks.

I approach the table and she stands up and kisses me on the cheek. Hmm, she's a forward one. Alright, just so you know, I am no veteran at dating. There were tons of girls before Kagome, but Kagome was the only girl I fell in love with, and shared that 'moment' with, if you catch my drift.

So, I knew the perfect way to go about wooing Kikyo, and she would be no different from most chicks, by the way she blushed and giggled, the only girl that didn't get all girly on me was in fact, Kagome.

Damn, the wench was trying to steal my every thought! Anyways, back to my date, Kikyo was talking about some cat she bought last week, and honestly I can't say that I even care about cats, because I am a dog demon, and her chattering is kinda starting to blend in with the people's around me, because the restaurant is getting louder and louder as the night goes on.

".... So, then I went to Kakera High School and they let me take the entrance exam so that I could go there."

This caught my attention, because now I could figure out what the hell she was talking about.

"Kakera High School? I go there, when are you starting?" I asked her, taking a sip of my drink.

She smiled, because maybe she noticed I was actually paying attention now. "In a few days, once we get my books and things all straightened out."

I smirk. "Awesome."

She blushes. Oh, this is gonna be fun....

"So, after registering, my mom and I went to go buy these peanut butter cookies that I adore-"

I have to cut her off. "Peanut butter cookies? I love peanut butter!"

Anybody walking by probably thought I was some kind of weirdo, but I can't say that I gave a shit, I mean, it was peanut butter, finally a happy topic that I could talk about, without thinking about Kagome. Uh, damn, there it goes again.

She giggles. "Yeah, it's been my favorite snack ever since I was like twelve, but thats irrelevant to tonight, so, why did you ask me out tonight?"

I flash her a smile that the Inuyasha fan club at school would've paid to see. "Well, I thought to myself, why leave a pretty girl alone on a Friday night?" I say, leaning my hand across the table, grabbing hers, and planting a small kiss on it.

Her face probably turned about twelve shades of red, just then. Kikyo straightens up in her chair and then rests her head on both hands.

"And why do you think I said yes?"

This was new. No chick had ever asked me a question like that, well maybe Kagome-damn, and most girls didn't have sense enough to actually think when they were around me, I mean come on, I'm hot.

But, I couldn't show her that I had been caught off guard with that question, so, I say to her, "Because, you were thinking, how crazy would I be to turn down this hot guy, and sit at home alone on a Saturday night?"

"I wasn't alone. I had my best friend with me."

"But, you'd rather be here, after all, well hopefully anyway, only one of us is willing to kiss you."

That statement gets rewarded with a blush from her, and I smirk and stand up, a song I like is coming on, so I extend a hand to her, and she accepts it, so I bring her out to the dance floor with me.

Baby, take me on a journey, I been thinking lately, I could use a little time alone with you......

At first we're standing a good foot apart with our hands intertwined, but I pull her to me, and I can feel her curves through the thin material of her top and skirt, and her face becomes very red.

I feel my lips pull up into a smirk, because I love the effect I have on girls, we go around in circles, and it feels like I could tease this girl all night long, we separate, but then I quickly pull her against me, and my lips touch the cartilage of her ear, as I whisper a few lyrics,

" Girl, I'm gonna let you have your way with me, but when you move like that, its hard to breathe....."

I can feel her shiver for a moment, when my breath touches her ear, and I realize I haven't had this much fun since Kagome dumped me, maybe Kikyo was just what I needed.

I tease her posing as if I were about to let my lips touch hers, but at the last second, I swerve my head to the other side, where I let my cheek rest against hers.

My face instantly feels warm from the heat radiating off of hers. She's so warm.

When the song is over, she pulls away to look at me, and I notice that the area just above her nose is bright red, and her brown eyes are just gleaming adoration, this girl had definitely fallen for me in one night, and for some reason, that didn't sit right with me.

"Hey, wanna drive me home?" She asks. I hope to God she isn't asking what I think she's asking for. I raise a brow.

"Why?" At that question, Kikyo looked baffled. Now, most sixteen year old guys would be ready to crap their pants at this kind of offer, but while I'm no veteran at dating, I wasn't a man whore either, which is what most girls assumed because of how I looked.

She blushes. "Um, well, I was thinking we could talk, and maybe watch a movie..."

Hmm. She seemed innocent enough, why not? Maybe she did just want to chill with a movie, and you know, nothing else.

Assuming she's gonna do something about her car the next day, we run out in the rain to mine, and hop in.

Once she's settled and in the passenger's seat, Kikyo smiles. "Nice car."

"Yeah, it was birthday gift." I say, as I rev the engine, and back the car out of the parking lot, and start driving down Musashi Street, I figure I should ask her where she lives or we're gonna be driving down Tokyo all night.

"So, what street do you live on?"

" Hakurei Avenue, first house you see."

I nod. "So, how'd you end up moving to Tokyo?"

I hear her sigh next to me. "Well, my mom and I decided it would be best to move, after I had a bad breakup in Kyoto, because the guy wouldn't stop calling me, and coming to the house, but he wasn't dangerous or anything, just needy, so.... that lands me here in Tokyo."

I can't help but chuckled a bit. "So, you moved to an entirely different city because someone wouldn't stop calling you?"

"Don't laugh! It was more than that, he generally stalked me, begging me to take him back-

"And why did you break up?"

" He cheated on me. With my best friend at the time."

"And who was that?"

Although my eyes are on the road, watching the windshield wipers get almost every drop of rain, from the corner of my eye I can see her look at me strangely with a small frown, but that doesn't make me want my question ignored.

"Um, her name was Midoriko, we're not friends anymore."

I pull up in front of the house and take her hand, giving her a smile that I know made her blush. "Well, now you have a new friend."

"Alright, right hand on red!"

"Ouch, now left leg on green!"

I am about to have my arm broken, because like a dumb-ass, I agreed to play Twister, which I haven't played in years, since I was twelve, and even then, I remember biting Miroku for bending to close too my ass.

Kikyo looks like she's having fun though, because so far, she's gotten easy ones, colors that were in plain reach, and didn't need any strenuous activity. While me, on the other hand, I had my leg stretched over my head somehow, and my head was somehow just above my knee. Excellent.

"Ready to spin again, Inuyasha?"

"No!" I shout, as I straighten my body the way its supposed to be, and slide from underneath her, which causes her to collapse.

"Ouch. Wasn't that fun?" She asks me, as she giggles at my pain.

I roll my shoulders and neck. "Not especially."

She blew me a raspberry and giggled. "Don't be such a sore loser," she says, sitting up on her living room floor.

We had been here for a good hour, and started off with movies, and somehow ended up with Twister, Oh I really hate that game now.

"I didn't loose."

"Sure you didn't."

"Really I didn't." I chuckle as I stand up and dust myself off, I glance at my phone and its five minutes after ten, I've been out long enough, so I'm gonna go home.

"I'm gonna go." I say to Kikyo, as I walk towards the door with her trailing behind me.

"Alright then," She says, and we step outside on her front porch, and she leans into kiss me, but then something weird happens to me and I'm having some kind of flashback.

Kagome laughed as I tripped up the last of the Shrine steps, because she decided it would be fun to have a race up all those steps, and although I could've beat her with my hanyou speed, I decided to be nice and let her win.

"Inuyasha, you're such a loser!" She joked, as she did a small victory dance, and I stood up and frowned.

"Oh that was mean ,Higurashi Kagome." I say to her, carelessly throwing both my arms around her waist.

She smirks and leans in close to my face. "Takahashi Inuyasha, when have I ever been nice?"

"Well said." I say to her, when she brushes her lips across mine. This is the first kiss I've ever gotten from Kagome, after a month of hanging out.

I stare down at her, and her eyes are bright with excitement, with that smirk that seemed to be cemented on her face.

Tiny droplets of rain touch her cheeks, and I reach to wipe them off. " I know."

Suddenly, I pull away from Kikyo, my hands planted on her shoulders, denying her the kiss she wanted. She looks baffled and a tad bit hurt, but it really is me, and not her.

And you know what? I'm pissed off. Because of that wench, I can't even have the will to kiss another girl, I mean, I charmed her up till this point, but I couldn't do it.

"Is something wrong?" She asks. I shake my head.

"No, I'm just gonna go, I'll see you in school in a few days." I say and when I look at her face again, I see a brief image of Kagome, and I get even more pissed.

I hop in the car, and before I can really realize where I'm going, I'm on Sunset Boulevard, and I'm right in front of the Higurashi Shrine. I gotta stop coming here on reflex.

The engine is still going on the car, and I just kinda sit there, in the dark. When I look towards the steps of the shrine, I can see a figure. Wait, no, not one, two figures. Thank God for my demon half, which allows me to see better at night.

I look closer, and I realize I'm doing that stalker type thing again, but at the moment I couldn't give two shits.

I realize that the two figures are Kagome and Hojo, talking, at the top of the steps, both of them look soaking wet. And this is the part that really pisses me off, Hojo leans in and kisses her. Great, just what I needed to see, after what I just experienced.

That feeling that I had a few weeks ago, is starting to come back again, so I speed off down the street, but image has burned itself into my mind, if I close my eyes to even fucking blink, the image is their, of his nasty human hands on her face, and him kissing her, I hate it!

I pull into the driveway of the mansion, and run inside, Mom doesn't get a chance to really question me as I run up the stairs and hide in my room for a few hours.

Heartbreak is a bitch.

Whoo, end of that chapter, was getting typed for two days, because I kept getting interrupted. Quick disclaimer of things in the story: Air force Ones, Twister, Jesse Mccartney, Inuyasha, the song by JM 'Right where you want me', and Mercedes. I do not own these things, nor do I have rights to them. Anyhow, review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'It Kills Me' entitled: Proximity. Thanks for reading!

With that said, Sayonara!
