Inuyasha was absolutely shocked. Kikyo showed him a side that he never seen before. The only person who probably saw this side was Kagome. He just learned something. Kikyo and Kagome didn't hate each other from the start.. something must've went wrong that made them hate each other. He wanted to find out more.. he needed to find out more. But he's not gonna pressure her.. she's gonna tell him sooner or later. She probably doesn't trust me yet...

Inuyasha walked in the mansion and into the kitchen smiling. Kagome and Shippo looked up as soon as Inuyasha walked in. Shippo looked a little creeped out, he wasn't used to seeing Inuyasha smiling..at least not like that. "What you so smiley about?" asked Kagome.

"You probably won't believe me when I tell you..." he walked over to the microwave to re-heat his food. "..but Kikyo broke up with me." He saw her eyes widen. She stopped what she did and turned around in her chair to look at him. "She broke up with you? Without getting...you know..." He nodded as he reheated his food for a minute. "Well that's a shock." She said before she started eating again.

Inuyasha's ears twitched when he heard something vibrated. He looked at the counter and saw Kagome's phone vibrating. "Ey Kagome. Someone's calling you." He said as he handed her the phone.

She answered without checking who was calling. "Hello?" She heard Ayame crying in the background. "Oh my god! Ayame, what's wrong?" She asked, her voice filled with concern.

"I had a fight with Koga...a big one."

She frowned. "Was it it about his feelings towards me?"

Ayame nodded. "Yeah...I don't think he wants to talk to me no more."

"What makes you think that?"

"I told him why I stuck with him...and I don't think he liked it."

Kagome sighed. "I'm sure he will. Look as much as I'll hate to say this even though I'm still angry with him, I'll talk to him for you, kay?"

She shook her head. "No! Don't do that!"

Now, Kagome was confused. "Why not?"

Ayame stood quiet. She really didn't know why..that would mean that Kagome and Koga are friends again..but that also means that I'll lose Koga... she thought. She sighed. "Alright, I guess you can talk to him." That's a risk I'm willing to take.

"Alright..um, bye." Kagome hung up and dialed Koga's number.

"Kagome?" He answered, in shock. He thought she wouldn't talk to him.

She rolled her eyes. "Who else would it be? Hey, what'd you say to Ayame, jackass."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me Koga! Ayame called me crying...she said that you and her had a big fight and it was about your feelings towards me! I don't wanna be the reason that you guys broke up! Wait...your not breaking up with her, right?" She heard a silence. "RIGHT!"

"No, I'm not breaking up with her. I was gonna talk to her...but I'd figured that she was still mad at me, so I didn't bother."

"Well, she thinks that you didn't like whatever she told you and thinks that you're mad at her for saying what she said...so can you please talk to her?"

He sighed. "Yeah, I was going to anyway. Oh, and Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to tell you how to feel...if you like mutt-face...go for him."

She smiled. This was the first time Koga had ever told her to go for a guy that she liked. "Thanks Koga." She paused. "Say..are you starting to get over me?"

"Yep..I'm gonna start being a better boyfriend to Ayame...she told me how she really felt and god when she said it..it tore me to shreds.."

"She really does love you, you know that right?"

"Yeah I know..but I've been a jerk to her."

"It's never too late you know. She'll always be waiting for you no matter what."

"Yeah she told me that. Well, I'm gonna go call her."

"Go see her...that's better instead of calling her, so that way she knows that you're not lying to make her feel better...cause knowing her she'll think that."

"Alright thanks.. talk to you later Kagome."

"Laters." And with that, she hung up the phone and saw that Shippo had left and Inuyasha was staring at her. "So..." she started. "Kikyo really broke up with you?"

He nodded. "Yep...I'm finally solo."

She frowned. "So, you like being single?"

He shook his head. "I don't actually like being single...I feel lonely. What I mean is I'm finally free from Kikyo."

She smiled. "I still can't believe she broke up with you before having sex with you." She said shaking her head.

"Well, believe it or not. 'Cause I'm solo!" He got up and put his plate in the sink. She smiled. Since Kikyo and Inuyasha had broken up...maybe, just maybe she and Inuyasha could get together...that is, if he feels the same way about her. Wait, if Kikyo broke up with Inuyasha without...could this mean?

"Inuyasha?"

"Hm?"

"I know this may sound weird but... what was Kikyo wearing?"

She was right...that is a weird question. He thought. "Um... light blue denim jeans and a light blue t-shirt with a jean jacket, I think?" He answered, more like saying it in a question. He heard her gasp. So, it is true. She thought. "Why?" He asked. She shook her head. "No reason."

"Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"You know you could tell me anything right? I'm not the type of guy who would tell people's secrets."

She smiled. "I know you aren't Inuyasha." She looked at him. "I already trust you more than anyone. You've showed me something that no other guy has shown me for the last 5 days."

"Oh?" He said, raising an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

"Respect. And you also shown me that I can trust you...I already trust you from the 5 days I've known you. It sounds kinda weird." She let out a small laugh.

He shook his head and smiled. "I don't think it's weird. To tell you the truth Kagome, I've grown to trust as well from the last 5 days I've spent with you. And I never trust anyone in my whole life..besides my parents, but they're gone now so that doesn't matter." He looked at her. "I just want you to know that you can tell me anything that's bothering you and I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what."

She blushed. "T-Thanks Inuyasha. That means a lot to me."

"Before I go to bed...is there anything bothering you now?" He asked.

"Huh?" She asked confused.

"Before...you looked like something was bothering you...mind telling me?"

She sighed. "Inuyasha, Kikyo and I never hated each other...ever."

He nodded, understanding. "I figured that much..the glares that you two shoot at each other isn't filled with total hatred, just half."

She sighed again. "Me and Kikyo were always with each other. We will never leave each other's side. On our 13th birthday, we gave each other these bracelets.." she said as she pulled up her sleeve and showed him the bracelet on her left wrist. "..and we promised to be sisters forever..no matter what. Ever since that day, we became inseperable. We would always have each other's back..if someone bullied me she would kick their ass and when someone bullied her then I would kick their ass...but then..." Her eyes started to water.

Inuyasha leaned forward and grabbed her hand and started to stroke it gently, signaling her to go on and that it'll be okay. She nodded and continued, "...but then we got into high school and all of a sudden, she ditched me and went to the populars. She completely ingnored me. We were slowly starting to slip apart...but the only reason why I believed that Kikyo would come back was because she was my sister and she wouldn't let herself become the school's 2nd slut...but she did.

"And when I found out, I confronted her and I told her I hated her..that was the day I lost my sister. After that, we never spoke to each other at home or at school. She moved out with my dad and I stayed with my mom..." She wiped the tears that we're falling. "...and now she's back and when she came over, it didn't seem like she changed. But when you told me that Kikyo broke up with you, without having sex with you. I started thinking,"

"Bout what?"

"That maybe Kikyo, my sister, the old Kikyo, was back. And when you told me what she was wearing...what she was wearing..was her favorite outfit in high school." She smiled. "Inuyasha, what if she is back? What if the old Kikyo had finally broke out of whatever it was she was trapped in?"

"I got a feeling she broke out of it Kagome." He smiled when she smiled at him. "When she broke up with me, she showed me something Kagome. She was telling me a story about how you had a crush on someone and changed your appearance to impress him, but failed.." She blushed, that was an embarrasing experience for her. "She told you that?" He nodded. "..But Kagome, when she told me about it, she was smiling. I could tell that she missed you. She misses the bond between you two." He looked into her eyes, still stroking her hand gently. "..I could see it, in her, and in you. And I had a feeling that was why you passed out the other day." She slowly nodded. He stopped stroking her hand and put his other hand on top of it. "Talk to her...and you two can go back to the way you were Kagome. It's never too late..that's what my dad taught me." He smiled at her.

She smiled back. "Thank you Inuyasha." She blushed when he kissed her hand. He smiled. "No problem, Kagome. I'll do anything to make you feel better. 'Night." He said as he kissed her hand one more time and went upstairs to his room. She looked at her hand. She could still feel his warm lips on her hand. If only I could taste them...
