Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THAT OF WHICH I CREATED...which in this case is practically nothing...not anything worth while...not like Inuyasha or anything *sigh*
The Plan
Inuyasha isn't sure how he feels but Kagome is determined to repair their crumbled engagement. Sango and Eriko have done their best to set the two on the right track, but what is the fruit of their labour? Will someone step in and throw the whole thing apart? Or will Kagome and Inuyasha make up and get re-engaged? Will they get re-engaged for 'real' or will they just continue with the plan? Most importantly, will the oh-so-essential confession scene finally appear?
...
Sango and Eriko could not believe what they saw.
Inuyasha's expression was forlorn and broken. He looked at everything but Kagome. His fork danced around with his fries on his tray as he gazed off in the distance.
Kagome kept her gaze focused on her lap as she nibbled on her fries like some sort of rabbit. Whenever her face was lifted her eyes wandered off to the side with a longing stare.
How could two people setting right beside each other be so distant?
Sango glared at Kagome with anger and disappointment. Taking back your man, eh? Kagome, what happened? Where did all the fire go?
Eriko had spent the rest of that day as Inuyasha's shoulder to cry on. And when he had decided to stay at her house to avoid any running into Hideko, Eriko had hoped he had decided to fix this. Eriko went to bed thinking that in the next room, Inuyasha was thinking up what he would say to Kagome.
Eriko and Sango shared a look of complete disappointment and frustration. This morning they both held so much anticipation. They had debriefed each other on where exactly Kagome and Inuyasha stood and had figured there would be a big apology followed by a confession followed by a hug or something. There was nothing! Not even an off-hand apology. Not even a real acknowledgement of each other's prescence!
"Inuyasha!" Eriko hissed between clenched teeth, "Why aren't you talking to Kagome?!"
"Why should I?" Inuyasha hissed right back.
Eriko's eyes widened. He had a relapse...a freaking relapse...
Kagome couldn't help but overhear and her eyes began to water.
Sango couldn't help but roll her eyes. She pulled out her cell and texted Kagome.
'Start it then. Apologize first. You were gonna take back your man, weren't you?"
Kagome's reply was quick.
'He wasn't ever really mine, in the first place. I told you, he hates me!'
Now that Sango knew he felt the exact opposite, it pissed her off even more. "Kagome!" she cried out loud.
Eriko stood up, her eyes filled with rage. "If neither of you will do anything, fine! Live a life of unhappiness, both of you!" Eriko picked up her tray.
As she walked by, Inuyasha grabbed her arm. "Eriko?"
Eriko shook him off. "I won't talk to you anymore. I won't talk to future Mr. Fujiwara."
Inuyasha stood up. "Hey! I'm not-!"
Eriko smiled coldly, "Ah that's right, it doesn't work that way. Sorry but the way you're behaving, I thought that well, you were the bitch."
Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"I'm not friends with bitches," Eriko went to sit at another table.
"Eriko..." Inuyasha was shocked.
Sango decided to follow Eriko. She also grabbed her tray and sent a cold glare at Kagome. "And I'm not friends with bitches either or spineless wimps."
Kagome stood up. "Wait, Sango I-"
"Have wasted my time for the last time," Sango stepped away from the table before casting one look back, "C'mon, Miroku, Yuki."
"What?" Miroku repeated, completely confused.
"Inuyasha and Kagome have decided they'd rather be miserable than happy. Miserable people don't need friends."
Miroku shrugged and gathered his stuff but Yuki remained seated, completely confused.
"Yuki!" Eriko hissed and Yuki got up immediately.
"But misery loves company..." Inuyasha whimpered.
And Yuki looked between Inuyasha and Kagome's forlorn expression and Sango and Eriko's cold ones, torn.
"Yuki, c'mon!" Sango grabbed onto Yuki and began to drag him away. "You do have company, each other."
For the first time that day, Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other. "Don't go..." they cried simultaneously.
They blinked before smiling.
"I thought you hated me..." Kagome replied.
"I thought you hated me, too..." Inuyasha remarked.
"Friends again?" they chorused before laughing again.
Kagome looked away suddenly. "C-Can I be your fiancee again?"
Inuyasha averted his gaze. "If you want to, of course..."
Kagome's head fell onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "Of course..." she smiled and he leaned his head against her own, smiling as well.
Eriko, Sango Miroku and Yuki all gave a standing ovation. Inuyasha and Kagome sat up straighter, blushing.
Eriko and Sango traded a relieved expression. "A little tough love never hurt anyone."
Miroku sighed, "Yes, but they're exactly where they were before the fight."
Eriko sighed, "Which is good enough for now."
"At least we know where their hearts are..." Sango replied.
"Ah...I'm sorry for calling you a lying, PMS-y bitch," Inuyasha blurted out suddenly.
"I'm sorry for calling you a son of a bitch," Kagome responded, "I just wanted to talk and understand why you're trying to hide the Hideko thing from them."
Eriko headed for their table. "What Hideko thing?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome pleadingly. "Please, can we not talk about this?"
"Why?" Kagome was trying very hard to keep the rage out of her voice.
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko repeated.
"Because," Inuyasha hissed.
"I'm not understanding why you'd want to keep something like this away from them!" Kagome struggled to keep her voice down.
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko repeated.
"Because!" Inuyasha hissed again.
"Is it because you enjoyed it?" Kagome asked with alarm her eyes searching Inuyasha.
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko repeated.
"That-!"
"That what?" Kagome's eyes widened and she could feel herself panicking. "You did! Didn't you?"
"Kagome, I don't wanna talk about this now!" Inuyasha snapped, "Or ever!"
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko repeated.
"Is that why you were so quick to give up on the plan? So you could finish what she started?" Kagome's voice was growing shrill.
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko repeated, starting to grow impatient.
"Now you're being ridiculous!" Inuyasha snapped.
"What Hideko thing?" Eriko hissed.
"I'm being ridiculous? HIDEKO FUCKING RAPES YOU AND YOU DON'T PRESS CHARGES?! AND NOW YOU WON'T TELL ANYONE?!"
"WHAT?!" Eriko, Sango, Miroku and Yuki scream as the whole cafeteria sets their eyes on the pair.
"That's not what happened!" Inuyasha cried trying to deter all the stares, "I wasn't raped! Nothing happened!"
Kagome blinked but before she could say anymore, Inuyasha slapped his hand over her mouth.
"Honestly, if you say another word, I will never forgive you," Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome blinked again and her gaze fell. Inuyasha reluctantly removed his hand.
"I'm sorry...I just...can't understand why you'd..."
Inuyasha slammed his head against the table. "Just stop. Just stop talking about it."
Kagome sank back to her seat. "Sorry...I wasn't trying to...I meant to..." Kagome saw his hand laying on the table and, biting on her lip, reached for it. When he clasped back on to her hand, she felt relief just wash over her. "I'm sorry."
Sorry, no confessions just yet but they made up...and then they fought again...but they didn't break up so...yay?
