Chapter XXII: Anxiety

Inuyasha was thankful that he spent the Christmas break away from his family. He knew his father would soon hound him for a haircut too. But now…

"Oh Inuyasha! You're Kikyo-nee's boyfriend?"

Both he and his girlfriend stared at the trio with what he was pretty sure was a dumbfounded expression. And to add to his certain mortification, Kagome kept talking.

"By the way, Inuyasha, Kikyo-nee is very good at fixing things and I thought you should ask her to help you with your crippling anxiety around men!"

Wait what—?!

Inuyasha stared in muted horror as Kagome went on and on about his supposed 'condition' that began when he was in middle school and supposedly 'discovering himself' with someone named Jack or something but it ended pretty badly before one of the assholes told her that she would catch a cold if they don't get back to their dorm.

Inuyasha watched on as the three retreated from view, with Kagome waving goodbye at them.

Suprisingly, it was Kikyo who broke the silence, "So…crippling anxiety? Around men? Inu, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Because it's not true!"

AN: So as you all can see, I love causing trouble for Inu.
