This Cannot Be…!
Chapter 10
Kikyou hummed softly to herself as she unpacked in the room that Kagome assigned for her. She highly praised her cousin for keeping such a big house tremendously spotless like this.
"But she was always a clean brat." She chuckled.
After she finished packing, she changed into a short black sports pants and a white tank top. Being around here with Kagome gave her this awkward feeling; it was like they were complete strangers, but she wanted to be here with Kagome, and also for her. Plus this vacation was already looking good after she saw that Inuyasha. She wondered briefly what he was like. His eyes were so beautiful, as if seeing the sunrise with every blink of his eyes and she found herself liking them a lot. She always got what she wanted to be positively accurate. Her brown orbs coruscated with desire when an image of Inuyasha flashed in her head; and right now, she wanted him. Not to commit, of course not, but who says she can't have a little vacation fling?
"I'll have one hell of a fling…"
"Hey, Kik! Can you help me with these mails?!"
Skipping down the steps two at a time, Kikyou told her that she was coming. Her eyes drifted outside where the sun was setting, to find that Yasha guy out there still. She grinned when she saw him, already getting animated.
Sitting adjacent to Kagome, she crossed her legs, watching that infuriating vein in her cousin's forehead that always seems to make it known whenever she's concentrating too hard or also if she's mad at the moment.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Her hands tapped softly on the table in boredom while gazing into nothing in particular.
"You can start by sorting out those junk mails from my bills."
"Okay." Picking up a big pile of mails, Kikyou started sorting them quietly, nibbling on her inner cheek; something she was always known for.
"So what's up with that gardener of yours?"
Kagome's frozen position went unnoticed to her since she was so caught up in getting her job at hand done.
"Um, what do you mean?"
Kikyou shrugged. "I don't know." She couldn't put her finger on it, but somehow she felt like something big happened with him. "Oh, like why did he mistake me for you?" She was shocked at the way he called Kagome's name. Did something happen when she wasn't here?
Kagome rolled her eyes. "That won't be a first Kik; you know people think we're twins at time."
Sighing in frustration, she paused… just to think on it more. "I know… but," She paused wondering if she was just being paranoid. "Ok, why did he call your name with so much surprise?"
Kagome snorted. "Hell if I knew." She lied. She knew her cousin was a bit nosy, but when did she get this nosy?
Shrugging, she dropped it for now. "Okay… so tell me what he's like?" Her pile of mails was decreasing rapidly and Kagome wondered briefly if she was actually looking for junks and her bills.
"I can't really say, honestly. He's like the weather you know… so…" Her eyes went downwards. 'So… He's so unpredictable.' "Hey, say Sango's supposes to be coming here in about an hour or so, knowing her she'll be early, and I still haven't taken that shower."
"Why'd you change the subject? You really think I'm stupid eh?" Knitting suspicious brows together, Kikyou leaned closer to her cousin. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Who…? Do you mean moi?" Kagome sucked her teeth while nonchalantly playing with the edges of one of the envelopes.
French… Kikyou reared back as if that word itself was out to get her. Oh how she hated French in school. 'But 'Gome really doesn't know me.'
"Oui!" She grinned when the look of surprise crossed over Kagome's features. It was sad to say how little they knew of each other over the past few years.
Kagome giggled. "So you've finally mastered the marvelous language called French?"
"Hell no, I'd die if I slave myself over that superfluous language." The subject was changed all right… but it was far from forgotten. When the time was right for everyone to talk it out; especially her encounter with Kouga… she suppose that she'll find out everything she needed and not be in this dark she loathed so much.
"It's a shame. It's a lovely language."
"Whereas you need language to make you seem lovelier," She joked lightly. "My loveliness is genetic."
Kagome rolled her eyes. Well at least that Kikyou sure hasn't changed the way her little mind thinks.
"You're idiotism's genetic too." She retorted, yawning softly.
"I'm done." Stretching her hands over her head, she got up and went for a bottle of water from the fridge. "So what's that you're filling out, while I'm the one slaving myself and doing your mail sorting?" She asked, taking a good mouthful of water.
"Oh you mean this application thingy?" Her hands waved over the paper on the desk. "I've decided to get a job, that's all."
Kikyou had to laugh. "You? Working? Ha! That's a joke… you've never worked in you're life since you got with Kouga during high school."
"I'm not with him now, am I?" She flashed Kikyou a look before turning back to her work. Getting a job would definitely take her mind off of the fact that a husband was never coming home to her in this big lonesome haunting house. Half the time she was in that home for possibly a week because Sango was having some kind of messed up fun with one hell of a guy. Kikyou was really here to take her mind off of everything… and hopefully her cousin would get the job done but some extra work couldn't hurt. What was the worst thing that could happen? It's not like working is that hard. People play a part in it everyday for endless hours; she just have to practice, ne?
Kikyou didn't say anything when Kagome made that last comment; she only excused herself to get to know that Inuyasha guy more.

Ten minutes later, Inuysha found this Kikyou girl to be not only funny but also a nice person to hang out with. She was very dissimilar from Kagome all right but that's just what he needed, something different in his life. She's the same age as he is, give or take a few months, yet she acts like an all out bubbly teen. He had to wonder how soil got on her face; the girl was a rollercoaster filled with silliness.
"We can call this lesson off for the day." He chuckled when she fell on her butt with a cute pout.
"I know planting flowers couldn't be this hard. Something's off!"
He sat down next to her with laughter swimming in his amber pools.
"Doesn't the whole 'I don't want my hands dirty' ring a bell?"
Leaning forward on her raised knees, she giggled prettily. Inuyasha was so amazing in his own way and she found herself liking him even more. "That there is a different story mister."
"Uh-huh. You chicks are so freaky."
Kikyou batted her eyes slyly. "Isn't that what you guys like in a woman?" She flirted.
Laughing nervously, he was at a loss… Sure she was beautiful and everything, but she was Kagome's cousin, that's like signing yourself up for a death sentence.
"Aw, you don't have to comment on that. It's only natural of you, seeing that gardeners aren't into the whole wild thing. I'm sure you despise player, ne?"
Oh how he wanted to laugh. If she only knew… but he decided to keep her in the dark and let her think he's the soft pathetic guy. It has been a while since he used his player side for a while though, so much shit has been going on in his live that a night of fun wasn't as appealing to him as before, but beside all that, this Kikyou girl might just be the girl to make him forget about Kagome, though not completely.
"I won't answer that. Just don't be quick to judge me." He winked at her and she just stuck out her tongue.
"Don't worry gardener, I like you still."
"Is gardener going to be my new name now?"
"It suits the whole sexy character." She winked at him while she stood up.
A dust of rosary red dusted across his features as he followed her into a standing position, facing her. Looking down at her, he smiled when he saw the smudge of dirt on her cheek.
"You need a bath." He grinned, raising his hands to wipe her face with his thumb.
"Care to join me?"
"I'll see what I can do." Their eyes locked for a second and his hand froze in its action.
'Kagome looks so much like her…'
She laughed softly, breaking eye contact and stood on her toes, kissing the corners of his mouth softly. "I don't take no for an answer, gardener." She whispered breathily…

Those ocean eyes never left the site behind her curtains. Jealously ran through her, bowling up her blood. He looked like he was having so much fun! The worst part was that she wasn't apart of it!
"Yet, we never did that together!" She grumbled. That's one thing she always envied about Kikyou. She always seemed to make friends so easily! Also, how was it that Inuyasha seem to make good friends with her so easily without making any sexual contact? She pouted angrily.
"She doesn't even like gardens!"
"Whom may you be referring to?"
Kagome was too riled up to even jump at the sound of Sango's voice. Taking her gaze reluctantly from outside, she turned around to watch Sango rest down a couple of bags on the table.
"Kikyou's here." She said distain fully.
"Oh really? It's been such a long time since I've seen her!"
"Not long enough." She walked over to Sango and started looking through the stacks of DVD's Sango bought. She furrowed her brows when her eyes landed on some scary movies. "You know how much I loath those kind of horror films."
"Yea, whatever, I don't really care. So where's Kikyou?"
"Oh, her…" She spat openly. "She's out in the garden."
"I thought she hated the gardens."
"Apparently she happens to only love the gardens when there's a gardener in it who's so fucking hot!" She shouted, not caring what her last few words were. He was hot, even blind people could see that!
Sango stood there speechless, wondering why Kagome was so…jealous. When she moved towards the window she realized how close Inuyasha and Kikyou were. Maybe Kikyou was the right person who could make Kagome wake up and be with Inuyasha.
"Well, I thought you said you want nothing to do with Inuyasha…" She said slowly. "You had your chance to talk to him five months ago."
Kagome's head whipped in Sango's direction, her hair slapping her in her visage. "Don't you dare try to turn this on me, missy! I just don't think… I just don't think they are a good couple okay? It's…"
"Not a good couple because he's yours, Kagome?"
"N-nani?" She sputtered. "That's not it! I just feel that, he's…" She paused, hating Sango for even bringing it up. "Just shut up!"
Sango sighed and watched Kagome idly. The girl was a mystery that was yet to be solved. She was going to love how things play out. "So how long will Kikyou be staying?"
"Sadly, she'll be here for a few weeks." She sighed and walked over to the stack of bills and moved them away to take up a small envelope.
"Can you please give Inuyasha this week's pay check again?"
Sango sucked her teeth. Kagome can be so dense! What would she do if Sango weren't around to make all things good? She hid her grin, moving towards the stairs. "Why don't you give him, I have to take a shower anyway."
"Please…" She begged. "I don't want to talk to him."
"Then ask Kikyou to give it to him."
Kagome bit her bottom lips angrily. "Yea right, and risk her and Inu getting closer?"
"Fine… and it's good to see that you're calling Inuyasha by that nickname you gave him." She winked at Kagome with a wide grin on her features. "I'll call Kikyou, so we can…." She twisted her body to Kagome, to see her better. "…Catch up…" She said cheerfully.
Kagome was at a loss of words to say anything so she just smiled softly at Sango. After Sango called Kikyou and they both went upstairs to catch up since the two of them were the 'perverted' girls, who always had something spicy to talk about while Kagome was the one usually left to just listen silently. Kagome released a puff of air, refusing to believe that jealousy can hit her so quickly.

"Okay, I'll just rest his money over there by his bags and go…" She had spent the last few minutes, debating whether she should talk to him or just leave him the money. Right now her mind was all for the latter and she wasn't about to complain. So, walking as quietly but briskly all at once, she reached the God tree where his stuff were, and rest down the envelope unceremoniously.
"You know, if you gave me that in my hands it would be much more responsible of you."
Rolling her eyes, she stood at full height facing him, though she was about a head shorter than he was, she looked up at him with a fierce look.
"It's not like I put it anywhere far from your stuffs."
"That's true." He looked down at her, wanting so bad to just run his fingers through her inky hair, caress her succulent lips with his own. His eyes glazed over with undisguised hunger for her. "So how's life been for you?"
"Um, it's been good I guess." She shifted nervously on her foot, feeling like a young child all over again.
"I heard Kouga gave you the house; that's good."
She wanted to roll her eyes. Wasn't it obvious that she owned the damn house now that she lived in it for a couple of months? "I guess I do." She started to move forward, ready to go. "Well I better go now."
"What happened between us Kags?" He blurted out, taking a step closer to her, but she stepped back, shocked at his sudden question.
"What the hell are you talking about?" This was not good. So not good, especially with that look in his eyes. She almost moaned when she remembered that same look when they were in that room at her brother's. Wetness pooled between her legs instantly, and she just wanted a way out, somewhere far from this walking sin!
"You just started ignoring me… Why Kagome, why didn't you come talk to me, and why up until now, did Sango kept bringing me my pay?"
She almost laughed. "Why, you asked?" She mocked chuckled softly. "Did you see the way I looked after Kouga was done with me?" She screamed. "If I wasn't fooling around with you, I would have never been abused! Sure I would be divorce and hurt of course, but certainly not physically!"
Inuyasha's eyes darkened and he took a closer step to her until she was backed up against the tree. "So this is my entire fault huh? Just because I made you feel wanton; feel like a fucking woman, you blame all that shit on me?!"
"You've got some nerve…"
He laughed. "Me? When was the last time you took the blame for something! I was prepared to mess up my friendship with Souta to get closer to you! I was the one who said all those shit in front of everyone! Do you think I go around telling every fucking bitch that I care for them? Or give them pet names such as koi?"
She looked up at Inuyasha fearfully. His eyes looked a deep shade of brown now that he was apparently mad.
"Look, I didn't come out here to argue with you… and how the hell was I suppose to know someone like you meant anything! You practically threw yourself at Kikyou today!"
He grinned widely. "So this is mostly based on your jealousy? Is that it, Kagome?"
"N-no…"
"Oh come on. You never wanted to talk it out with me but now that you feel threatened by Kikyou's present, you felt that talking to me was the right thing? Is that it?"
"No! That's not it at all! It's your payment…"
"So what? Sango's legs are suddenly broken?"
She pouted, and all Inuyasha could think about was taking away that beautiful pout by sucking on her lips and making her more aroused than ever, but he wouldn't waver; he just refused to. Kagome bent down slowly and picked up the envelope, thrusting it in front of her. "I have to go now…" She moved a lock of her hair behind her ear, waiting for him to take the damn envelope so that she can leave.
He took a closer step to her, and placed his left hand on the bark of the tree, near her head. "Why do you have to go away so soon?" He whispered, grasping her hand that seized the envelope she held.
"Please let me go…"
He moved his hand from the bark of the tree and saw her flinched, but he never stopped; he grasped her cheek softly, caressing it while getting lost in her ocean blue eyes. "I regret not being there sooner to kick his ass. He never should of touched you or brought any harm to you; gomen Kagome." He kissed her left cheek softly where Kouga had slapped her around, and Kagome's eyes closed in ecstasy. How long has it been since she felt his lips? "Those bruise you got never took away the beauty that was you…"
"Please Inu, don't do this…" She wanted to cry. He was so rough yet gentle, and his very presence were pushing through the wall around her heart, making it weaker.
"He bruised your lips didn't he?"
She turned her head away from him, refusing to let him kiss her. "You can't do this!"
"Do what Kagome…?" He dipped his head lower, his breathing tickling her dry lips. She wet her lips to get some moisture, which caused her tongue to brush against Inuyasha's lips.
"This just isn't right! We cannot and will never be…"
"Bullshit." He whispered, moving closer to press his lips against hers, but she turned her head and his lips brushed her cheek. Sighing, he moved away from her, taking a seat on the bench.
"You know, when all this shit started back in the club, my main goal was to get to you." He wet his lips, moving to prop a leg up on the bench to rest his arm on. "I wanted to break you, and show you that even a married wench can fall for my charms."
Kagome's anger surfaced faster in a blink of the eye. "Again with that name huh? Will you ever refrain from calling me wench?!" Her shout alone brought a smile to Inuyasha. This was the Kagome he knew and liked. She moved to sit next to him, and smiled. "I guess I can't argue though, because if you never called me wench then you wouldn't be my Inuyasha."
He quirked a brow and smirked at her last statement.
"I...I…Um, what I meant to say was that you wouldn't be the Inuyasha." She laughed nervously, and Inuyasha's smirked turned into a grin at her uneasiness.
"So why have you been avoiding me for so long Kagome?"
There was a pregnant pause and Inuyasha thought she wasn't going to answer him at all. He watched as her gaze was focused on the orange horizon. "It's so beautiful…" Her blue eyes sparkled with admiration, while at the same time trying to form words to explain to Inuyasha.
"I guess I was just scared."
He barely heard the ghost of her words. Yet, even though he heard it, he was wondering why she would be scared.
"I thought that you wouldn't want to see me since I was so broken up. I just never wanted to face the facts: I was a divorced young woman." She paused, breathing slowly. "I really liked you a lot, I still do and I just don't want to fall again just to get heart broken, and I know it's not possible because it's just not in a 'player's' nature to love."
"How did you come about that?" He moved in his seat, now facing her. "I'm prepared to do anything with you. I'd move the fucking universe if that's what you want."
She smiled. "But I don't want anything of it. I just want to move on…alone."
His stare turned to steal. "So why the fuck were you jealous? You can't tell me that that's what your heart is telling you to do! We can work on us, and in time I'm sure I can do the whole love shit."
"Look, it's what my mind is telling me to do! I have to think logical, not on some dumb feelings!"
"Those feelings almost entered you into the fucking zone! You were practically begging to be fucked like some wild rabbits!"
She gasped at his choice of words. "How would you know?!"
He stood up with a look of utter surprise. "Heh. Who the hell do you think brought those feelings your way! How would I know you ask? I was the one who damn near fuck you behind some random club; the one who had you damning consequences!"
She stood up and nodded her head slowly. "That's true; like always you had to be the fucker who's right!" She started stomping off, but turned around and threw the envelop at him.
"I wish I was the fucker who fucked the hell out of you!" His temper was something to fathom. How many times has his mouth gotten him into trouble?
She turned back to him and walked up to stand right in front of him, tears pooling in her beautiful eyes, and before he can comprehend want went on, before he could read her actions, she slapped him. She actually slapped him! He was too shock to even yell at her for slapping him like that. He grasped his face and agreed that he deserved that, he had no right to say that, but the bitch was really asking for it!
"I can't believe you…"
"That's not a first. You really are something else aren't you?" He grasped her shoulders harshly. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Let me go Inuyasha!"
He shook his head stubbornly. "I'm prepared to try, wench! Why won't you fucking let me?"
She pulled away from him, her eyes watching him coldly. "You really want to know why?" He didn't respond but she didn't need him to. "You're like a fucking dog! That's why Inuyasha! How am I suppose to know I won't bore the fuck out of you and having you running to some random whore with the only head of yours that can think? You're just like Kouga! He might have been a cheat in the closest, but guys like you earn statuses by how many girls' heart you break; and my heart is too chattered for any of those shits!"
Finally, the only noise that could be heard was the breathing of both Inuyasha and Kagome. The flowers petals closed as the night fell over them, it was as if they were cowering from those two arguing. The sun had finally set, as if proof of what could never be, but the reality of it all was too surreal. Did she really think him to be like Kouga… to be a guy who wouldn't treasure her very presence? With a sense of understand and his background, he found himself relating to her feelings and he couldn't really blame her for thinking that way. Yet he did hurt, he hurt knowing that she thought so little of him, even after that day when he admitted that he cared for her on some level.
"I'm nothing like Kouga, Kagome." He swore darkly. "You've got some nerve comparing me to that ass!"
"I only say what I see."
"And what have you been seeing? You practically lived in that house for five fucking months without day light!"
She smiled ruefully. "I guess I have."
He exhaled a harsh sigh. "Onegai… I've changed."
Kagome chortle, wondering if he thought her to be that dumb. "You've changed you say?" She folded her arms and pinned him with a look of hatred. "Then tell me Inuyasha… How many girls have you fucked over the last five months?"
He scolded and turned his head sideways, watching the flowers heatedly. But his very actions gave her all the answers she needed.
"Right, then I guess this conversation is over." Turning around on her heels, she stared striding down the pavement.
"Oh come on! What the hell was I suppose to do?!"
She paused in her walk. "What were you suppose to do?" She mocked asked. "If you declared to have changed, then why go with some random strangers if you've 'changed'?" She asked, making quotations with her fingers.
With a glower in place, he ran a lazy hand through his lock of hair. "What was I suppose to do? It's not like you were willing!"
"I was hurt! How would you feel if you were in my position?"
"I heard fucking relieved stress." He smirked. "And I know you would have breathed it in like the very air around us." He mumbled, but she heard him.
"You are impossible!" She screamed. "Why can't you –"
"Understand? Because I don't and I refuse to! I waited for you to come! I figured when two months past you gave up! I'm not a fucking saint, I admit and I do have needs!"
"You're not the only one bastard!"
"Look, I messed up, but you didn't gave me any heads up about wanting to be with me!"
She didn't say anything.
"Speechless now?" She brushed her hair from her face, and started to turn around to leave. "So since you're speechless, you want to run now? Go on! That's all your good for anyway."
"Fuck you!"
He displayed a simper of a smile on his face, watching her leave.
"You're something else… I bet Kikyou isn't like you."
She was half way to her door and she wasn't planning on stopping, but she gait did slow down. "Why don't you go and find out! Maybe you can fuck her!"
"Maybe I will; you're so pathetic you might bore the hell out of me!" Again, he regretted those words, but he refused to take them back.
She reached her door, and grinned at him, a grin so evil looking it shocked Inuyasha.
"I figured since she looks like me, you'd want to fuck her." She sighed as if in boredom. "I mean after all, if you can only get a measly older 'copy' then why complain when the real one is out of your fucking reach?!" She gripped the doorknob firmly, making her knuckles turn white. "A copy is all you're good for, anyway!"
When she disappeared behind her door, he swore darkly, walking away into the now cold night.

"Hey Kagome, do you want to watch Halloween first or The Invasion?"
Walking towards her cousin and best friend, she passed them with out even acknowledging their presence, and headed upstairs to write some more.
"What's with her?" Kikyou asked, looking through the stack of DVD's and trying to figure out which one she liked the best.
"Beats me, she's been that way lately." She lied, munching on a chocolate bar.
Kikyou shrugged and changed the subject. "So when will we be heading to this club you told me about. I just got here and I'm already bored." She grinned when Sango smirked at her.
"How many times are you planning to get laid huh?"
A devious smile spread across her lips. "Who knows, I just want to have some fun."
"I hear you, pity that I'm already taken."
"Yea, I'm still shock over the fact that you're committed to someone."
"Just make sure that shock keeps you from telling Kagome."
"Alright, it will, okay? I just think you should have told her before me you know. I mean you guys are best friends, just think about how she'd feel when she finds out I knew before her."
Sango groaned, flopping down next to Kikyou with some snacks in her hands. "Don't remind me, I know I'm an idiot."
"Glad you see it my way." She gave her a cheeky grin. "Now, I want to watch all of the saw movies."
"What? Those are too gross to be watching with food around."
"So what, you can bare it! And I saw a preview of Saw 4! Could you believe it?" She sighed in utter amazement. "I can't wait for it to come out!"
"I really don't care for those shit, I'll stick to something like Stephen Kings movies for now."
"But those are so damn old!"
"Kind of remind you of your age don't it?"
"Hey! You're older than me!"
"Say, hypothetically that I am, I know I'd look younger than you." She giggled and jumped up when Kikyou lunged at her. "Tsk tsk… that's not acting your age at all. But hey, don't fret because I'm younger than you; which is a drag." She sighed dramatically.
"Oh screw you, you young hag!"
Sango laughed out loud. "Whatever old hag! I'm still rocking those guys's boat, and I bet I'll be doing it all when I'm older than your age." She winked at her.
"You know what…? It's whatever, okay? Let's just watch some movies alright?"
"Fine, I don't want to watch Saw though!"
"Oh look, it's about to start!"
"You little bitch!"

Yui walked quizzically towards her door, not expecting anybody for the night. She turned a page in the magazine she was holding idly, before turning the doorknob. She looked at the young man standing in front of her; thunderstruck yet delighted all at once.
"It's been a while, Yui." He smiled.
She grinned. "I guess it has. How long? Five months?" She stepped aside, letting him enter her house. "I thought you forgot me when you never called."
He chuckled. "I guess you're right. I've just been really busy, life can be a bitch now and again."
"It really can." She smiled sweetly at him.
They reclined in her plush couch, facing each other. A look of lust adorned the man face and Yui returned it. She'd been feeling a little… hot today.
"So…"
He smirked at her, watching her dress code. She only wore a big tee shirt and he was itching to find out what she wore underneath. "Are you up for some catching ups or do you just wanted to get to the fun part?" Yui is a freak, and foreplay wasn't usually her game.
Yui smiled broadly, folding her two legs up in the couch.
"Did I tell you that white was by favorite color?" He asked, referring to her exposed panties.
"All the colors are your favorite." She whispered huskily, sliding toward him and pushing him back lightly on his back. "I prefer fun by the way." Pulling his lips between her teeth, he groaned when her hands grasped the growing bulge in his pants.
Not wanting to be left out from all the touching, he slid his hands under her over-sized shirt, caressing her flat tummy and moving upwards to her soft plump breast.
"Inuyasha…" She moaned out when he started playing with her aroused nibbles…
