Ringggg Ringgg….
"Stupid alarm clock I hear you" Throwing the blankets back I crawled out of bed. I spent 2 hours getting ready fighting to have the best hair for today and switching between outfits to fit the day. Running out the house in a navy blue sun dress and white bumps, I decided to leave my hair down in light curls down my back and very little makeup on.
I whistled at the first cab that passed by "Time Square please"
Knock Knock
"Inuyasha are you home….we need to talk its kind of important" The door opened and Inuyasha was not the one standing in it, but another women was…half naked "oh I am sorry this is bad timing um I can come back late im so so sorry" I turned and darted down the hall way trying to hold back my tears, why wouldn't he have a girlfriend….its been 5 years and another 2 months of silence. Pullling out my phone I called the first person I thought of.
"Hey Sango, are you busy"
"no just sitting at home looking through wedding magazines, why whats up"
"I think I need to talk, is it ok if I come over"
"yeah sure…just come on in doors unlocked"
Hanging up the phone I grabbed another cab over to Brooklyn
"Sango" I yelled through the house " I am such an idiot"
"Why what happened"
"I went to Inuyashas to talk to tell him I was a fool and I forgive him and want to start over but there I was like an idiot at his front door and some bimbo in just his dress shirt answers the door…I have never ran as fast as I did in that moment"
"Really..that seems really odd. Miroku talked about how in love with you Inuyasha still was, but he did say that inuyasha washed his hands of this whole situation"
"washed his hands"
"yeah that's what he said…"
"Oh I see" After that we spent the day looking through magazines together and talking about the wedding. Before we knew it another month had gone by and the wedding was 2 months down the road. With all the planning and running around Inuyasha and I didn't speak for another 2 months, just more awkward trading of Rinoa back and forth. But today I got the shock of my life when Inuyasha was standing at the door waiting to speak to me
"I think we need to talk"
"alright um would you like to come in?" Opening the door further for him, he gladly walked in and waited for me to say where to go sit "the living room is fine, would you like something to drink coffee?"
"Yeah um black thank you" I walked to the kitchen and started the coffee, five minutes later I walked into the living room with two cups of black coffee
"so you wanted to talk" handing him his coffee and sitting across from him on the opposite couch
"yeah…well as you know everyone has been pretty busy with the wedding so there hasn't been much personal time or friend time, but there is one even we really need to talk about"
"alright and that would be?"
"the bachelor party and the bachelorette party, they are on the same night so clearly neither of us can watch Rinoa and all our family and friends will be at both events"
"Your right I didn't think about that, what are we going to do"
"well I spoke to Sess I guess he is having someone come in and take care of Brice and shaun so we thought that maybe she would just stay the night with her cousins, but I couldn't say yes with out asking you first"
"well of course that's alright, you didn't have to come all the way from time square for that Yash" oh shit, it slipped
"Time square? I haven't lived in time square for about 5 months now….I figured with us sharing Rinoa it would be easier for me to live closer so I moved into the building on the next block over, I thought she told you that?"
Oh my god….sooo I jumped to conclusions again…"No she never mentioned it, but that was a good idea"
"Also there is another thing I should talk to you about…something went wrong with one of our buildings so I got to go take care of it since I am the CEO now, but I wont be gone forever just maybe a month or so" he seemed rather nervous in telling me, kept moving his hands on his coffee
"Well you don't need to tell me that Inuyasha I am not your wife or even your girlfriend, you have a responsibility and its your job….you don't need me to tell you anything"
"oh I um was just letting you know I guess sorry I said anything I mean it is only Japan not like I am never coming back, so ok I'll be going then, thanks for the coffee Kags" He stood up to leave
"wait Inuyasha….about 3 months ago I went to your apartment which I guess now makes complete sense why a half naked lady answered the door"
"what are you talking about?"
"I came to talk to you about everything about …us" my voice got real quiet and I started staring at my feet "I wanted to tell you I was sorry for what happened and that you where right…..after 4 years of dating you would think I would believe my own boyfriend over some random girl and high school rumors, I should of confronted you and asked you instead of turning you away and pushing you out of my life, and about Rinoa I should of tried again and again to tell you, but apart of me just couldn't, I couldn't picture you not wanting her or you already having another life and another family.
"Whoa whoa Kags slow down before you break down" he grabbed both of my arms and brought me down the the couch
"no let me get this all out before I chicken out and hold it in for another 5 years" I breathed in and out real hard before I started again "when Kikyo came up to me and told me that my life was not as perfect as I thought and that I didn't know what you had done the previous weekend and what she and you had done, I just snapped I couldn't even speak to Sango or any of my friends. It just seemed so true for you to have done these things, I thought of who you where and the things around you, your father cheated on ur mom and I thought wow the apple don't fall to far from the tree, I judged you and in my head it was the truth. I went home and broke down and spent the night and whole weekend doing nothing but crying. And right after graduation I found out I was pregnant and I didn't know what to do. My first thought was to tell you but I couldn't speak to you and when I did try you turned out to be exactly who I thought you where. I am so sorry for everything and if I could take everything back I would…please forgive me Yash" when I looked up he wasn't even facing me, his head was turned towards the wall
"apple don't fall to far from the tree?"
"I am sorry"
"that's just great….I think maybe I should go home, I'll call you later about the baby sitter situation" he stood and started opening the door
"that's it"
"what do you want me to say Kagome. Its been five years…a simple I am sorry does not excuse everything that has happened, I put up with you for Rinoa…not because I want to be around you, I am sorry if I made you think that…now good day" After closing the door silence just filled the house
"thank you for the REALITY check!" for the first time since he was back in my life I broke down to my knees in tears, how stupid was I to think that saying the truth and forgiving him would change anything, he was still just as cold hearted as before.
