I do not own Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does. I do own Juniya though. She and any other characters of my own imagination belong to me.

Piecing Together Broken Hearts

Chapter 10

Realizations

Inuyasha wanted Kikyo back. He hoped she still wanted him. He flipped open his phone. He dialed her number, hoping she would pick up.

It rang three times before she picked up. "What do you want, Inuyasha."

"Uh, Kikyo, I was wondering if you would come to dinner with me tonight. Um, just as friends." He sounded pathetic, even to himself.

"Aaw, poor baby; he won't be able to live without me." She said. He could hear the sneer in her voice. "Yeah, whatever; I'll go. I pity you; you've never had a woman other than me." She laughed.

"Ok, then, what time should I pick you up?"

"Six."

"Where will we go?"

"Shoujo Sushi Bar."

"Alright, see you later." He said.

"Yeah, whatever." She hung up.

He sighed. Well, at least he was going out on a date with her, even if she didn't treat him well right now. He would change that tonight, though. They would be together again by tomorrow.

Inuyasha pulled up in front of Kikyo's apartment and honked his horn. Kikyo exited her home, walked to the truck, and sat down on the cold leather seats. She was dressed in a black dress with the gown down to her ankle. It hugged her hips perfectly, and was dotted with sequins just under her bust. She was wearing black spiked high heel platforms. She had her hair in a loose ponytail. She looked beautiful.

But, she didn't take his breath away like she used to. And when she stepped in the car, her scent didn't intoxicate him. She smelled like strong perfume; that was it. He tried not to scrunch up his nose. He missed the smell of orange blossoms and lavender.

She buckled her seat, and he drove them to the sushi bar. He got out of the car and started to the restaurant, when he noticed that Kikyo was not following him. She sat back in his car looking in the pull out mirror, doing her makeup. "Dammit, why does she have to worry about makeup; why can't she have natural beauty like Kagome?" he thought, then realized what he had thought. But then Kikyo finally walked over to him.

When he looked at her face, he thought her face looked like a clown's face. He suppressed a scoff. Why did she smear her natural looks? Why couldn't she embrace her natural looks?

They walked into the restaurant. They got seated and the waiter handed them their menus. He asked for their choice of drink. Inuyasha ordered a Sprite. Kikyo ordered a Dr. Pepper. Inuyasha hated the smell and taste of that! It was disgusting!

After the waiter returned with their drinks Inuyasha ordered them a pair of plates of California rolls.

"Well, Inuyasha, you sure know how to treat a woman. You know how much I love California rolls!" Kikyo said.

"Yeah." He replied simply. He wondered what type of food Kagome liked. He couldn't stop wondering about her. What kind of soda she liked; candy she liked; music. He was brought out of his reverie when a penguin and a clown came into view.

His vision went back into focus and he saw the waiter setting the plates down on his table. He also saw Kikyo scarfing down the California rolls two at a time.

"Does she not have any manners at all?! Why can't she eat like a lady; like Kagome." He thought. "And why the hell do I keep on comparing her to Kagome?"

They had their dinner and Inuyasha drove Kikyo home.

They were sitting in the car in silence. Then suddenly Kikyo burst out, "Inuyasha! I've missed you!!! Will you take me back!!! I don't care for anyone else!!! I want you back!"

She then lurched over and pressed her lips to his. It was then that he realized that this would keep on happening. She would cheat on him; he would want her back and invite her to dinner; she would beg for him to take her back; he would accept; and then the cycle would repeat. He knew he was sick of it. He realized he didn't really want her anymore.

He pushed her away from him. "No, Kikyo. I wanted you back when I invited you to dinner, but now I realize I really don't need you; I don't want you. So get out of my car and get out of my life." He reached across her and opened the door. He then pushed her out.

She landed on her palms and knees. Her dress was ruined and tears were spilling out of her eyes.

"DAMN YOU, INUYASHA SAKAHASHI!!!" she screamed into the night.
