Inuyasha rubbed his temples and set down the contract he had been reading over. Shippo waited patiently for him to give directions on what to do next. "Tell them to edit sections one, four, and seven and then send it back to me." He handed Shippo the stack of papers and sent him away with a wave of his hand. He had been avoiding them, both his wife and Kagome. He hadn't gone to either of his homes for a few days now. He couldn't be the husband Kikyo needed, and he couldn't muster up the courage to share his feelings with Kagome. 'Therefore I've been hiding in my office like a coward' He chastised himself, how hard was it to pick one? He sighed, his phone buzzed for what felt like the millionth time. He pulled his phone out, it was Kagome. She had only texted him a very small amount since their last encounter, he unlocked his phone and read the message, 'Have you seen my wedding ring?' he rolled his eyes, why would the silly woman think he possessed her wedding ring? He didn't bother with a response as he turned back to his computer, scrolling aimlessly through his emails. His intercom buzzed from his secretary's desk, "Mr. Takahashi, your wife is here to see you. Shall I send her in?" Inuyasha ran his hands through his long hair and groaned. The damn women just couldn't give him his space to think. "Shippo, please inform my wife I am a very busy man and do not have time for casual visits." He smiled, his secretary would certainly send her away. He put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair to stretch. His intercom beeped again, this time it was not Shippo's voice, "Inuyasha I really need to speak to you I'm coming in." He heard her nail slip off the button as the intercom went silent. He debated on hiding under his desk when his office door opened. He slid his hand over his eyes and lazily reclined in his chair, propping his feet onto the desk. "I can see you're very busy Mr. Takahashi." She snidely said to him. He lifted his hand from across his face and smiled at her, internally laughing that he was irritating her. "Do not underestimate the amount of work I have been doing over the past few days. Now, why are you here?" She sat in the chair across from his desk and folded her arms across her chest, "Need I a reason to have an audience with my husband?" her eyes bore into his, something was awry, he just didn't know what. "What is it you want Kikyo? A new house, a vacation, a car?" she never came to his office if she didn't want something. She grimaced, "How about your company, or children, or a family life?" He slid his feet off his desk and sat up, he whirled his chair around and faced away from her, to hide his distaste with the thought, "Don't speak of such silly things Kikyo, I need to get back to work." He heard her sigh as she left his office. His heart hurt for the way he rejected her, but he just didn't want those things with her. He did want them, but when he thought about a family, a different raven haired beauty came to his mind rather than his wife. He rested his head on his desk. He was exhausted, emotionally and physically drained. He decided he was going to leave the office for the day, take the day for himself. With that he shut his laptop and grabbed his coat and walked out of his office.
Kagome sighed as she sat down on Inuyasha's leather sofa. She hadn't seen him in what felt like forever, and she figured she knew why. She had awoken the morning after Kouga left her with swollen red eyes and a raging headache, naked in Inuyasha's bed. To her disdain Inuyasha was not in bed with her. She felt like death and her breath smelled like death. She walked into his bathroom to cleanse herself. Thoughts of the night before had flooded her brain, she giggled at the thought of being drunk. It wasn't until she had sat down at Inuyasha's table with some toast and orange juice that she realized just what she had done the previous night. She dropped her toast back onto her plate, she wanted to scream. She said the L-word! She strained her brain to think harder, a million thoughts raced through her head, did she love him? Did she really say that? Did he say it back? Did he say anything at all? She groaned at the pounding in her head that progressed the harder she thought. Kagome grimaced at the memory. That had been four days ago, and she hadn't seen him since. She tried not to get jealous, but the green little monster wriggled his way right into her brain, 'he's probably making up with Kikyo again' She stopped her thoughts right there, since when was she jealous of Inuyasha's marriage? She had always known this was just a side fling. 'I guess it's because I'm realizing that I want more' She sighed. She had texted him a few times in the beginning of the week. At first it was a few flirty messages, then they became slightly more desperate, questioning where he was or why he wasn't seeing her, then it came to where she only texted him when she absolutely needed something. Which was her reason for texting him earlier that day, while Kouga no longer valued their marriage, she at least had enough respect for it that she wanted her ring. It had been missing since the day Kouga confronted her and she had searched Inuyasha's apartment high and low in search of it. She sighed when she thought of Kouga, her days alone in the apartment left her with a lot to think about. She had tried, of course, to call him. Every time it went to voicemail, or he would promptly tell her he didn't wish to speak to her before hanging up. Each time left kagome in tears, she felt horrible for hurting Kouga the way she had. She wanted more than anything to rewind time, and go back to how her life was before she had ever met Inuyasha. But in that same thought she also realized she didn't have romantic feelings for Kouga anymore. She wasn't eighteen any more, and no longer had the drive to force herself to love him. She just didn't want him to suffer any more. He had texted her yesterday, telling her tomorrow she would have the opportunity to get her stuff, and then he was changing the locks. She wanted to cry at how harsh he was being, but she realized she deserved harsh. She deserved his hatred, she deserved everything he threw at her. The only thing she didn't deserve was him. She whimpered, she had lost her husband and her lover. Now she was left on her own, cooped up in her lover's apartment. She had stopped going into work. She didn't care if she was fired. She felt disgusted with herself for even thinking she could be in the position to counsel couples. She shoved all the thoughts out of her head and snatched the remote off the coffee table. What she didn't think about couldn't hurt her.
Kikyo sat on the bathroom floor crying, she had tried another pregnancy test, almost desperate that it would be positive. But to no avail, there was a big fat negative. Inuyasha didn't want to have kids with her, hell he didn't even want to have sex with her. She felt like such a fool. She was lonely, her husband was having an affair, and her already crumbling marriage was finally falling apart. She had realized all along that she was the only one who was trying to pick up the pieces. Only she who had put forth effort to fix things. Inuyasha had his slut, his dirty whore, to confide in and share love with. But Kikyo had no one. She cried out in frustration and threw the test into the trash. She wanted to be loved and held and treated like she was worth something. So she did the only thing she knew, she picked up her phone and called Naraku.
Naraku had rushed over in a heartbeat. He was eerily charming, he approached the front door with a big smile plastered to his face. He had missed Kikyo, he had missed being there to catch her fragile heart when Inuyasha went to play around and forget about her. 'Hurt women always make better lays' He laughed as Kikyo approached the front door. She opened the door to reveal that she was wearing nothing more than a robe, that wasn't even tied in the front, exposing everything to Naraku's greedy and hungry eyes. She smiled seductively and motioned for him to follow her into the house.
Kikyo was crying out in satisfaction as he was working wonders on her heated core. He slid up and began to unwrap a condom. Kikyo grabbed his wrist, still caught up in her orgasm, "No I want you without it." Naraku happily complied as he threw the condom on the floor and plunged into her. He may not have loved her, but he loved her body, and for her that was enough. He plunged into her for a final time, spilling his hot seed into her. She gave out a throaty laugh, "That was amazing." Naraku laid on his back, and tilted his head towards her. "Yeah you're the first woman since that let me go bare." Kikyo giggled and curled up to his chest, barely paying any attention to his words, "Since what dear?" she kissed his cheek and he laughed, "Oh you didn't know? I have HIV."
Oh lord what did I just start? Anyways please leave a review. Thanks, Ainsley
