Chapter ten

What's A Girl To Do?

It was Monday morning, Kagome was sitting at her breakfast bar when there was a knock at the door. Kagome moaned, but got up from her seat and opened the door to fine Sango on the other side.

"Hey girly how you feeling" ,Sango asked taking off her sunglasses to rest them on her head.

"Like shit," Kagome answered steeping aside to let her in.

Sango walked in and plopped down on the couch. "So Kags what are you going to do?"

"I've been asking myself that for years now, it seems as though every time I'm happy, even the slightest bit, something happens and fucks it up," Kagome said sitting on the couch next to her.

"I know baby girl."

"Sango I just don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what I want."

Sango sighed and got up from the couch, "Well here's the plan, seeing how your not going to school today and I'm not now either lets go do something fun and get your mind of this whole disaster, and when you have a clear head you'll know what to do."

"Sango I think that that is the smartest thing I've ever heard" , Kagome said smiling for the first time in what seems like days, "Let me go put on something really sexy and we will make like a fetus, head out."

Sango laughed as Kagome ran up the stairs to her room.

"Now what to wear" ,Kagome asked herself.

Twenty minutes later Kagome came down the stairs in a light blue spaghetti strap mini dress that came about mid thigh, she pulled her hair back into a low ponytail with a big blue scrunchi that matched her dress, and black low heel strapy shoes.

"Wow Kagome I think it got like 100 degrees hotter in here."

Kagome smiled, "Why think you Sango lets get out of here and have some fun."

"No problem there, where you want to go first?"

"Umm… I was thinking that that state fair was still in town, we could ride a few rides, play a few games, and maybe flirt with a few guys."

"Oo that sound good to me, lets blaze the trail."

Sesshoumaru was getting really worried about Kagome, she wasn't answering his phone calls or did she show up for school. Where the hell was she. Sesshoumaru walked down the halls on his free period, it was lunch time and hopefully one of her friends would be there and answer a few questions.

Sesshoumaru walked in the lunchroom to find not really any of her friends but that red headed cheerleader girl, Ayame. Walking over to the table at which she resided with none other that his brother and his loathsome girlfriend.

"Ayame, you wouldn't know whats happened to Kagome she was suppose to do some work for me today."

Ayame turned around to face him and was about to answer when Inuyasha open his big mouth. "Who cares when she is maybe she's with her long lost love or something."

Sesshoumaru shifted his glaze to Inuyasha, "Do you care to explain?"

"Whats it to you I'm surprised you don't know he's only been your friend for like ever. That's why me and her never worked out that bitch cheated on me with him."

Sesshoumaru could only stare at his brother, then he slowly turned around and left the lunch room. Almost running right into that Miroku guy who was entering the lunchroom. Sesshoumaru grabbed him and pulled him out the door, he needed a few questions answered and he seemed like the perfect boy to do it.

"Mr. Monk, you used to date that Sango girl right."

Miroku looked up at Sesshoumaur's murderous gaze, "Um Yeah a few years ago why?"

"You was close to Kagome sometime ago?"

"Yeah her, Sango, Inuyasha, and I used to be really good friends."

"Tell me of hers and Inuyasha relationship."

"Oh them that's been over for like ever since she was 15 I think, they were best friends in grade school and in junior high decided to go out, but Inuyasha was always jealous of this Naraku guy who was a good friend of Kagome's. He thinks she cheated on him but that was a total lie Kagome would never do that. So our sophomore year Kikyo, Kagome's cousin, started here and Inuyasha fell in love and just dropped Kagome like she was nothing. Kagome was really torn up about it, she would be totally fucked up if Naraku hadn't stepped in he helped her a lot. I kind of always wondered why they never went out you could tell he was in love with her but I think she was just messed up at the time," Miroku looked up to find a very angry Sesshoumaru, "Yeah sorry I think I rambled on to much."

"No you said all that I needed to here go eat your lunch."

Miroku rushed in the lunchroom with out another word. Sesshoumaru just stood there for a sec thinking about all he had heard.

* "Where did you get those?"

Kagome reached up and touched her new earrings, "They were a gift from an old friend yesterday aren't they beautiful."

"Yeah." Sesshoumaru shook his head of the thought Kagome has a million friends any one of them could have given her those not Naraku who was buying diamond earrings yesterday for a friend. It couldn't be I would know if they knew each other he's my best friend and she's my girlfriend. *

How could I have been so stupid of course those were the same earrings, Kagome and Naraku, Naraku and Kagome. This is just crazy. At prom they were acting weird, he left in a storm and she ran crying to the bathroom at the same time. Why didn't she ever tell me.

She was also with Inuyasha the one person that I despise the most, and she knew this why didn't she ever tell me.

Sesshoumaru storms back to his class room deciding that after school was over he would pay a visit to his best friend then his girlfriend.

Kagome was having a really great day with Sango but no matter how she tired she couldn't get Sesshoumaru or Naraku off her mind. Finally she decided that maybe it was time to talk it through and just deal with the consequences as they come.

Sango dropped Kagome off at her house and wished her good luck. Kagome got in her car and headed down to the new museum where Naraku worked.

Kagome entered the lobby and asked one of the attendance to take her to Naraku's office. Once inside she found Naraku at his desk deeply engrossed in some paperwork he didn't even notice her until she sat right beside him on his desk.

Naraku looked over from his contracts to find a nice pair of long tanned legs, he followed them up until he came to Kagome's face.

"Kagome what a surprise how have you been."

"Not as good as I usually am."

Naraku gave her a sad smile. "How can I help you?"

"Naraku cut the shit it's me talk to me."

Naraku sighed picked up the phone called his secretary to get some take out they were going to be here a few minutes and might as well have lunch.

After the food arrived Naraku started to speak, "Kagome I don't know what you want from me."

"I want my friend back, don't you? Do you even miss me at all or do I mean nothing to you?" Kagome asked with tears in her eyes.

"Kagome you mean I great deal to me than you know."

"You sure as hell have a funny way of showing it."

Naraku slammed his fist down on the desk, "Dimmit Kagome what do you want me to say, that I miss you all the time, that not a minute goes by with out thinking about you, or that I've been in love with you for so long, or how about this one, your dating my best friend and how pissed I am that he got there first."

Kagome sat there in silence taking in all that Naraku just laid out. He cares this much why did he never say anything before now.

"Why Naraku?"

"why what?"

"Why now why not years ago, you could have had a chance but I never knew. Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"Because I'm a fool and you were just a child before I left."

"I can't talk about this right now, we will have to do this another time. I love you Naraku, and I love Sesshoumaru and I'm seeing him right now ok. I want us to be friends I don't want to lose you, I don't think my heart could take it."

Naraku looked at Kagome, "I'm hear for you always when ever you need me?"

Naraku came around his desk to where Kagome was and pulled her to him. "I love you Kagome I always have and always will no matter who your with but if you want to be with Sesshoumaru and still be my friend you have to tell him the truth."

Kagome snuggled into Naraku's hug, "Yeah I know that's where I'm going next."

"Good luck, and call me if you need anything."

"I will, Bye." Kagome walked out the door to his office and out of the museum to her car.

Now all I have to do is talk to Sesshoumaru about Inuyasha and Naraku this is going to be just great I'm sure, Kagome thought to herself.

Golden eyes followed the long dark haired girl to her car from across the street.

Sesshoumaru had just pulled up at the museum when he saw Kagome walking out. Sesshoumaru was so angry that he just watched her drive away, and forgot all about his plan to talk to Naraku.

Sesshoumaru drove back to the mansion, and headed straight to his fathers office.

"Father I would like to take up your offer."

Mr. Tashio look up from some documents, "Sesshoumaru I thought you wanted to stay for some reason."

"Yeah changed my mind I wouldn't like to pass up this opportunity, how soon can I leave."

"Well you can leave on Wednesday if you would like but isn't the school year still going on."

"They will get someone to cover it."

Well only one more chapter left and we will find out if Sesshoumaru really leaves to go to Europe or if Kagome gets to him in time to stop and explain things to him. I want you to tell me what you want to happen just comment on this chapter and tell me if you want him to go or stay I will count the votes on Friday march 11.
