Famous Love: She's been faking?
Previously:
"We're going out for some pizza and ice cream actually. Wanna come?"
"Kagome..." Kikyo warned, whispering.
"It's no prob, Kikyo. I won't feel uncomfortable to have my ex's girlfriend come with us. I'm over him, remember? That's what this little celebration is all about."
"But still.."
"Stop being so cautious Kiks."
"You coming or not!" She shouted to Ayame.
She nodded. "Yeah!"
She started to walk to them.
"So, you're not gonna talk to me anymore?"
Ayame turned around to meet blue eyes then turned around her bangs shadowing her eyes.
"Not for a while. I'm sorry." She whispered before running off to Kagome.
Koga watched as his girlfriend and ex-girlfriend walked off with everyone. The press immediately surrounded him bombing him with questions.
He really is a jerk. He lost Kagome and by the looks of it...he lost Ayame too.
Now:
Half way through the dinner, Kagome and Ayame got along really well and they were now talking and laughing. Inuyasha smiled at her. He was glad Kagome was over him and she was fine. He stopped smiling when he heard a gasp. He turned to Sango.
"I can't believe I didn't see it until now."
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"She's faking."
"Who?" Miroku asked.
"Kagome. She's faking. She's not over Koga...not one bit." She said, not taking her eyes off Kagome "laughing" with Ayame.
"What do ya mean!" He almost yelled.
"Shh!" She said putting her index finger over her mouth to indicate what she meant.
"Why is she doing it?"
"She doesn't want us to worry about her so she's faking she's alright and that she's over him."
"But...after the concert...in the parking lot..when she told off Koga..she.." Inuyasha said in disbelief.
"She's a really good actor Inuyasha."
"How can you tell?" Miroku asked.
"Just look at her laugh."
Miroku and Inuyasha both looked at Kagome. Miroku didn't notice anything different but Inuyasha did.
Her eyes don't sparkle like they do when she laughs, he thought. He looked away from her. She's lying.
He looked down his bangs shadowing his eyes. She's been faking, he thought, and I couldn't even notice that the sparkle in her eyes are not there anymore. And I say I'm in love with her? He chuckled darkly to himself. I'm not in love with her if I don't even know when she's faking and when she's not. I wouldn't even be a good boyfriend. He stood up, his bangs still covering his eyes.
"Inuyasha?"
"I'm..gonna go get some fresh air." He said before he walked out.
Kagome watched Inuyasha stand up and walk away. He looked sad. What was wrong with him?
She looked over to Miroku and Sango and saw them with a sad look in their eyes. "Uh, Ayame I'll be right back."
She waited for no response as she got up and followed Inuyasha. She found him standing in front of the restaurant staring into space. She walked up to him until she was behind him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispered.
How did he...? Oh yeah, I forgot about his keen sense of smell and his hearing, she thought.
"Huh?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" He said raising his voice a little.
"Inuyasha, what are you talking about?"
"Don't act stupid, Kagome. I know you ain't over Koga."
How did he...? "Of course I am!" She said with a smile. "That's what this is all about!"
He chuckled darkly. "Don't kid yourself Kagome."
She sucked in a breath in shock. She quickly pulled herself together. "I am over him Inuyasha! Why are you-"
Her eyes widened as he pulled her into his arms. "Inu..." Was all she managed to say. She couldn't even manage to say his whole name.
"You don't have to pretend that you're over him for us, Kagome." He said as he embraced her a bit tightly. "We're all gonna worry for you no matter what. So don't lie to us again alright? Miroku, Sango, Rin, and Kikyo are all here for you. I'm here for you." He said the last part in a whisper.
Her eyes widened and before she knew it she started crying into his shoulder. He pulled her closer and chuckled.
"H..How did you k..know?" She asked through tears.
"Sango. She noticed that you were faking by your laugh."
She closed her eyes and hugged him back crying into his shoulder. "A..Are you made wi..with m..me?
"I'm mad that you lied. I'm mad that you pretended to be over Koga."
She chuckled darkly. "It took all of my courage to say those things to Koga," she started. "I..I just put all my hatred in those words. I..I know I should get over him b..but I c..can't, a..and Ayame's such a nice girl..I..I'm afraid that she'll get h..hurt just like I d..did."
He held her close. "Kagome, you were brave enough to even stand up to Koga," he started, "most girls who find out their boyfriend cheated on them will cry infront of them but you...you held back your sadness and gave out your anger to him. You even had me convinced that you were over Koga...and it takes a lot to convince me." He said the last part with a chuckle.
He pulled away enough to look at her face but he did not pull away from her completely.
"You're getting over him little by little. It's gonna take time, trust me."
"So you're not mad at me?" She asked tears still rolling down her face.
"No. I'm mad at what you did but I'm not mad with you. You don't have to pretend Kagome," he said with a smile, "..now after after we're done with this 'celebration' why don't you show me the rest of your songs that you wrote for Koga..not the hate ones."
Her eyes widened in shock. "How did you...?"
He raised an eyebrow at her. "Kagome..I've had a heartbreak too and you write two kinds of songs...the hate ones...and the sad ones. You sang all of your hate songs and two of your sad songs. You better show me the rest and after you show me you show everyone else got that?"
She sighed. She knew she couldn't get away with this especially with the intense gaze he was giving her.
"Fine."
"Good. Now let's go back inside." He said as he let her go and walked inside.
She stared at him as he walked inside and sat beside Miroku and they started chatting and soon they were laughing. She looked around making sure there was no one around to see their little 'moment'. She smiled. Good no one was around. And with that last thought she went inside and faked her happiness the whole way through the night.
But little did she know, that the press was hiding behind the bushes taking pictures. Though they could not hear what they were talking about..they still got the pictures. And that was all that mattered.
