For the Love of Fashion
We're Over
Both guys had their eyes wide and mouths open. Love? Love InuYasha? How was that even possible? InuYasha couldn't believe it. She looked looked sincere and maybe she actually meant it. Before he could get a word out, Kouga spoke up.
"Yo-You love him? But-But..." Kouga couldn't wrap his head around it. She had just told him that he was the reason for not letting any man get close. He somewhat felt proud of that statement because it gave him a chance to redeem himself but what just came out of her mouth ruined it.
Kagome smiled and looked at Kouga, like she could read his mind," Kouga, I honestly do forgive you, because if I don't let it go, I can't move on. You'll always have a piece of my heart, but I just don't love you like I did those 6 or 7 years ago."
InuYasha still couldn't move. He knew he heard what she just said but his ears didn't believe it. His mind couldn't accept it. But his heart started to beat faster and his palms started to sweat a little.
"Kagome-" Kouga was interrupted by a sudden kiss on the cheek. It was warm and felt familiar, but it didn't feel right.
"That was for old times sake. I guess I'll be seeing you around since you work here now." She reached for InuYasha's hand and got up off the couch," Goodbye Kouga. Let's go InuYasha."
InuYasha just nodded and gripped her hand tighter. He had waited for this for a long time but for it to be official he had to deal with-
"InuYasha!" An angry voice yelled from across the room. Everyone looked at the doorway to see Kikyo standing there.
"Ki-Kikyo?" InuYasha's hand dropped from Kagome's to his side," We need to talk."
"No. I didn't come over for that. I came to talk to you." Her attention went over to the wolf seated on the couch," We need to talk."
"Wait. How do you know her?" InuYasha might have had no feelings for Kikyo anymore, but he was still a little protective of her.
"Simple." An evil smile spread over his face," We're business partners."
The now happy -almost couple- wanted to drop dead right there, especially InuYasha.
"Why are you two back? Actually, where have you two been? The designers have been looking for you Mr. Taisho. They've...finished." Miroku tried to explain but Sesshomaru walked off and left Sango with him.
He turned to Sango,"Hey Sango. What's going on?"
Sango opened her mouth but closed it again. It was Kagome's place, not hers, to tell.
"Everything will be explained soon enough, trust me." She walked down the hall and stopped at the door which led to her department," And about that marriage proposal, I do accept." She flashed her model smile and opened the door.
"I'm going to be married...to a model!" Miroku fist-pumped the air in excitement and ran after Sesshomaru to tell him about the designers.
"We've decided to add a few more bikinis than last years and we've been thinking about adding a flip-flop sandal line. But, as always, it's whatever you think is best." One of the designers told Sesshomaru. He flipped through the sketches again and nodded in agreement.
"I'll go check our balances for the budget and get back to you on the flip-flops. And for this outfit," he pointed to the jean shorts," let's add an inside pocket for phones, keys, or whatever teens carry to the beack nowadays. I think we've got Kouga beat this year!" He shook the head designer's hand and walked away to his office.
He closed his doors behind him and fell into his office chair in exasperation," That hanyou better get himself together or I'll lower his job to janitorial cleaning."
"Why does everyone know someone all of a sudden? This is making my head hurt.." InuYasha mumbled. He watched Kikyo walk past him an towards Kouga on the couch. She sat beside him and smiled.
"You deserved that slap I gave you. I knew you were seeing that girl behind my back-"
"No I wasn't. Kagome and I never had anything..we never.." He stopped himself before he got ahead. He didn't want to lie to Kikyo. Sure, she was a bitch but he did love her at some point.
"You know what Kikyo? We're done. Yes, I kissed Kagome twice and I loved it both times. It was better than anything you've ever given me." He grabbed Kagome's hand and held on to it tight to prove it.
Kikyo was stunned. She knew he was with Kagome but never knew that he actually tried something with her. Kikyo's fists clenched and she knew exactly what to say back," Well, I don't care about you anymore either! I proved that when I snuck in and shredded your Spring line the night before it was to be premiered." She smirked," I've been working with Kouga since then."
InuYasha's heart dropped. She knew how important his work was to him, yet she treaded on it. Treaded all over it and never told him. Not once. Kikyo kept smiling, knowing how irritated InuYasha was getting. He was always hotheaded and never could control his temper.
"InuYasha." Kagome squeezed his hand. InuYasha's eyes flashed back to normal and he looked down at her.
"InuYasha." She started again," let's leave them to drown in their misery and prove them wrong about our work," she smiled, making him feel a little better,"let's go and work on the summer line."
Those words opened him up a little more. He loved her more than ever, and he would prove it to her soon.
With a quick nod of the head at the owners of Big Bad Wolf, the happy couple left. They lefft their past behind them in order to move forward. Nothing would stand in their way.
Way short, I know. Only (I'm only guestimating) 2 or 3 at the most, chapters left. :(
I've come to love this story after I've revamped it, but I am getting a little tired of it and that should never happen. I still have a few loose ends to tie up and then I'll epilogue it! :D
