On The Rocks if Not Broken

Hikaru watched Kagome not moving from his spot. He wanted to hug her and console her but the immense black aura surrounding her was keeping him from moving any closer.

She punched pillow over and over.

"Idiot, jackass, asshole, motherfucker, dickhead, bastard, stupid…" And the list continued with each punch.

"Umno…Kagome-Chan…" Hikaru whispered in a way hoping she didn't hear him. He didn't want her to turn to him and start using him for a punching bag. Even if he was a guy he was too delicate to take that abuse.

She suddenly stopped punching the pillow and placed her hands on her lap. She put her head down and her hair fell in her face.

"Hikaru, what did I do? Am I the one who should be blamed for this? I want to run to Midori and beat the shit out of her. It's her fault that everything is happening." She then heard him sigh. She looked at him. He closed his eyes and crossed his arms as he leaned against her desk.

"Kagome-Chan you're going about this all wrong." He told her. She slowly raised her eyebrow.

"I'm going about this all wrong?" She asked him. He sat on the bed and looked at her.

"Even though Midori flat out lied and she's been doing things to get between you. None of her advances would work if you and Inuyasha had more faith in one another."

"But Hikaru-Kun he believed her over me. He actually believed I had an abortion."

"And you actually believed that he might be more attracted to her than you like you just gave her an opening by walking home and them going home together alone. So honestly speaking I don't blame Midori. I blame you and Inuyasha for having such weak love for each other." He told her. She looked down and covered her face as she sobbed.

"I don't want us to break up."

"Is that so because at this point I feel its better if you do." She looked at him. He hated seeing tears falling down her beautiful face but because he loved her like a sister, he wanted to do all he could for her. "Listen Kagome, my father and Fumi's tried coming between us. Fumi's father even did as much as to move him away. We were twelve and thirteen when that happened. We are now sixteen and seventeen and we never stopped loving each other. Even when Fumi tried to run for me, I almost gave up but who gave me encouragement? Who told me to follow my heart?" He looked at her. She looked down. He pulled her face up so she would look at him. "Who told me?"

"I did." She whispered. He smiled.

"Now it's my turn, follow your heart. Don't take your anger out on Midori even though that girl needs a good slap but it's not her."

She nodded her head. He pressed his forehead against hers and they both giggled.


Rin opened the door and smiled.

"Hey Inuyasha, is everything ok? Kagome and Hikaru came in and they been in the room for a while. What did you do?"

"I did nothing. Kagome and I just need to talk." He replied as he walked toward the door. Rin spotted Midori in the car looking towards them. She smiled and looked away. Rin put her shoes on and went out to the car to have a small talk with Iria's Little Sunshine.

Inuyasha opened Kagome's door and saw Hikaru holding Kagome's face with their foreheads pressed together.

"What the fuck?" They both jumped and looked shock that Inuyasha was there. "What is this?!" He yelled walking in the room. Hikaru and Kagome gave each other a confused look before looking back at him.

"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked. Inuyasha grabbed him by the collar and knocked him to the ground.

"What is your game? Are you really gay or what?" He spat. Hikaru looked at him in shock as did Kagome.

"Inuyasha what are you talking about?!" Kagome yelled at him.

"It makes sense this guy is bisexual or something. You're always touching Kagome and kissing her. You want her don't you!!"

Hikaru growled and punched Inuyasha in the face. Inuyasha fell back and hit his head against the dresser. Hikaru stood up.

"What are you talking about?!" He yelled out. It was obvious he was furious by now. Kagome looked in shocked. She never seen Hikaru angry. Inuyasha pressed the back of his hand to his lip and saw blood. He growled and punched Hikaru back and they began fighting in her room.

"GUYS STOP IT!!" She yelled but they didn't stop. Kagome ran out the room and looked around. "Rin!" She yelled but didn't see her cousin anywhere. She ran towards the bedroom and went to open the door as Sesshoumaru opened it.

"Kagome." He looked down at her and saw tears falling from her eyes. She grabbed his hand.

"S-S-Sesshoumaru I-I-Inuyasha and H-H-Hikaru are fighting." She couldn't barely get the sentence from her mouth. He heard the commotion from her room and ran inside. He spotted his younger brother and younger cousin punching the life out of each other. He growled and punched both of them in the head. They both held their fist out getting ready to hit back whoever hit them. They both stopped short when they realized it was Sesshoumaru who was very…very…furious if not enraged at this moment.


Rin walked towards the car as Midori got out.

"Rin-San, konnichiwa." Midori bowed.

"Konnichiwa." Rin said quietly and sighed crossing her arms. "We have a problem here." Rin stated and Midori raised her eyebrow.

"A problem?"

"Yes." Rin nodded. "Listen, I'm an adult I'm not stupid, I know what you're playing. So let's be honest with ourselves and stop all this phony bullshit. I know you're trying to break Inuyasha and Kagome up. I know you're doing things to come between them. And the main reason they are fighting right now is because of you. Let me just get this out straight you're eighteen years old so I won't get in trouble if I kick your ass and I don't give a damn if you tell Baba-San. She wanna sue well guess what Sesshoumaru and his father are both lawyers. So I'm covered. And another thing, I don't care how much make up, how tight your clothes your are or how nice your shape is. You'll never be as beautiful as Kagome because you're personality rotten. I don't hate you, I pity you." Rin then smiled. "So please do enjoy the rest of your afternoon." She giggled.

"Are you threatening me?!" Midori snapped at her. Rin looked at her.

"Not at all honey, it's a promise." She giggled. She turned back to her apartment and saw Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Hikaru walking out the door. She then noticed how bloody and bruised Inuyasha and Hikaru were. She ran over to them. She also noticed the furious look on Sesshoumaru's face. "Oh no Sesshoumaru, did you beat them?" She asked looking concern.

"No, they did that themselves. Friggin idiots, you get the car and go home and you're coming with me." He snapped the two. "I'm telling Tou-San and Kaa-San about this." He gave Hikaru his keys to his car and they both walked separate ways.

"What happened?" Rin looked worried. Sesshoumaru sighed shook his head.

"I don't even know. I tried talking to Kagome but she's hysterical she can't even talk." He told her. She nodded her head.

"Ok, I'm going in now, she needs me." He kissed her lips.

"I'm glad we're not teenagers anymore." She giggled.

"Tell me about it." They both then went their separate ways.


Izayoi sighed deeply as she tended to both boys' wounds. Iria shook her head and crossed her legs.

"She even had you guys fighting over her. What a woman. However, to put moves on a gay young man is unforgivable." She shook her head and looked at Midori. "Honey, I'm so glad you're nothing like that." Midori smiled and nodded.

Hikaru glared at Midori before closing his eyes.

"This fight wasn't over Kagome. Inuyasha was just acting like the jackass he usually is." Hikaru barked. Inuyasha glared at him.

"You want another piece of me?!" He snapped looking at his cousin.

"I don't quite see victory on your side so you better watch what you ask for." Hikaru snapped and they glared at each other.

"Cut it out!!" Taisho yelled at them and they both became silent.

"What was this about?" Izayoi asked quietly. Hikaru simply closed his eyes.

"I agree with Iria-Ba-San Inuyasha should break up with Kagome and go to New York." They all looked at him in pure shock. "Obviously he doesn't love Kagome or trust her. To believe the words of another woman and then believe she's doing something with your GAY cousin. You don't deserve her love, I don't want to see her cry over you ever again so just do her favor and let her go. She'll be in pain but it'll be better than her boyfriend doing these things to her." He said without glancing at Inuyasha. Izayoi looked between the two. Inuyasha simply got up and walked out the den.

Midori watched Inuyasha leave. She then saw Hikaru looking at her.

"And you should be ashamed of yourself as well. Not only do you tell the world about Kagome being pregnant you lied and said she had an abortion."

They all looked at Midori and shook her head.

"I didn't mean to, she told me she had an abortion." She quickly said. Sesshoumaru shook his head and leaned on the back of the couch.

"She had a miscarriage." He told her. Her eyes widened.

"That's correct, you must've heard wrong honey." Izayoi replied as Taisho nodded his head.

"Besides Kagome wouldn't do that." He said.

"And another thing, what gave you the right to say anything about her being pregnant?" Sesshoumaru asked looking at her. She bit her bottom lip.

"I was asking her a question out of concern."

"You could've done that when they two of you were together or in the car with Inuyasha." Izayoi said looking at her.

Inuyasha slumped up against the wall over the den. His whole family defended Kagome where he should've been the first person to jump to her defense. Just like before he was fucking up again.

Iria began laughing and shook her head.

"You all defend this girl like she's some princess. She's just another girl and obviously if there are so many problems then it's on her." Iria stated.

"No, it's on both of them." Sesshoumaru stated making her look at him. "You want Inuyasha to get with that girl. To be honest she's too sweet and kind. Inuyasha would drive her crazy. He's immature for one."

"He's very short tempered, he'd make her cry if he ever yelled at her." Izayoi added in.

"He's irrational to fault. You want him to marry her and run you're business he's doesn't have the patience to learn all that." Taisho replied.

"And he's a baka." Hikaru stated.

"So you're telling me that girl can handle him? She must be exactly like him then." Iria snapped. Izayoi smiled.

"Not at all, she's mature, she's fierce enough to dish out what he gives her, she's rational and patient, and she loves him with all her heart. That was why she didn't yell or scream at you when we were at the dinner table. Instead she just left." Izayoi responded.

"Unlike my fiancée who's exactly like Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru shrugged as Taisho, Izayoi and Hikaru laughed. Midori looked down not saying anything as Iria had a stale look upon her face.

Inuyasha closed his eyes he had to fix this.


The next day he saw Kagome standing by her locker talking with some girls he was familiar with but didn't know well. He waked over to her.

"Kagome can I talk you?" He asked. She smiled and nodded.

"Sure." He was a bit taken back. He was expecting her to glare at him or at least give him an attitude. He shrugged. This made it easier to say what he had to say.

"We'll see you in extra help Kagome." One girl and they walked away leaving the two alone. She began looking at her notebook.

"Listen, Kagome, I'm sorry. I know you've heard me say sorry a lot to you and all it seems like I've been doing is apologizing. But I want to get this right. I love you with all my heart and it's killing me that we're ending up like this ya know?" He looked at her. She closed her notebook.

"Are you done?" She asked straightforwardly. He looked a bit confused.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I have extra help to attend so if you're done can I leave now?" She questioned with no expression on her face.

"Are you saying you don't care about what I said?"

"Something like that." She shrugged nonchalantly.

"What the fuck is your problem?" He snapped. She sighed and looked at him.

"I'm tired that's all. We haven't even been together for a year and we been through so much shit. I'm just tired." She snapped.

"So you don't forgive me?"

"No, I don't know. You believe Midori over me. I told you I never had an abortion and you should've believed me. How is that all our friends believe me before you did. That's what hurt me the most and then on top of that you think Hikaru and I were doing something and you attacked your own cousin out of pure stupidity. You know I want to be loved, respected, honored so that I can give you same. But I'm not gonna put myself out there if you're just gonna spit on me every time something goes wrong." She shook her head. "I don't know." She shrugged. "And the words that came from your mouth a few weeks ago I'll always believe you just like you believe me right?"

His eyes widened. He definitely remembered saying.

"I refuse to sit here and just be part of your infatuation. There's a big difference between wanting and needing someone." She closed her locker. "Excuse me." She began walking away.

"Are you saying it's over?!" Inuyasha yelled out. She turned and looked at him.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." She turned and left him standing alone. Inuyasha growled and punched the locker behind him. She didn't even shed a tear and she was so calm in talking to him. That's what made him really nervous.
