Chapter 5: The Stench of Eternal Hate

"I'm Kigai.." The words rung in Kagome's ears. "You." She choked out as she took a backwards step, eyes welling with tears of hurt. "Kagome, It's just a last name, I'm not like them!" Inuyasha reached out for her. "You killed my family!!!" She screamed and took another step back. Inuyasha looked at the ground sadly. "I didn't know my brother was going to have them killed..."

Kagome shook her head. "You lied to me.." Memories of the horrid nightmare and of her family came flooding into her mind and tears started making their path down her cheeks. "Kagome, I didn't want to hurt you!" Inuyasha dropped his hands to his sides, clenching his fists tightly. "Too late..and to think I actually liked you.." Her voice trailed off as she turned and ran. Inuyasha swallowed hard, falling onto a bench, his head in his hands. "I really messed up this time."

Smokey looked up from her chess game as Kagome ran through the front door, tears flowing freely from her eyes, sobs shaking her shoulders. "Guess he told her.." the wolf demon muttered quietly to Hunter, who was sitting on the floor across from her. Kagome dropped almost into Smokey's lap, crying into her shoulder. "H.he killed them.he lied to me!!!" The girl nearly yelled as her body shook harder. Smokey looked down bewildered then wrapped her arms around her friend, glancing at Hunter as she pulled Kagome all the way onto her lap, hugging her tighter. Hunter stood shaking his head and walked out of the hall into the kitchen.

"he's a Kigai.." Kagome sniffled, wiping her eyes on Smokey's jacket. "I know.." the other girl said quietly looking down as Kagome stopped crying and looked at her, eyes wide. "you knew!?! And you let him lead me on!?!?" Smokey winced and glanced up. "I didn't know you would like his this much.." "well I did!!" Kagome jumped to her feet, glaring down at Smokey. "Would you have believed me if I told you?" Kagome winced at the coldness in her friend's voice as the wolf hanyou got to her feet. "no.I wouldn't have." Kagome sighs, looking at the ground. "Thought so..you had to hear it from him, that's why I gave him the chance." Smokey smirked slightly, turning away from Kagome and looking down, gritting her teeth as she continued. "but if you really do like him that much, who he is unfortunately related too shouldn't matter." Kagome looked up shocked. "you..you don't care if I still like him?" "Oh I do care..but I can't control who you like..just who you see." With a shrug, Smokey walked out of the hall, disappearing around a turn.

Inuyasha sighed as he closed the front door behind him and leaned against it heavily. "I take it things did not go as hoped?" Sesshomaru smirked, leaning against the doorway to his office. "Shut the hell up.." Inuyasha growled and stormed to the stairs. "Could have been worse little brother." "How?" Inuyasha stopped, looking at his brother. Sesshomaru shrugged. "She could have had you killed." "I wish she did.." The dog hanyou stormed up the stairs and into his room, slamming the door.

Smokey sighed, pushing open Kagome's door, a tray with mugs of chocolate and churros in her hands. "You hungry kid?" Kagome looked up from her bed then sniffled and moved to the side, wrapping her arms around her knees. Smokey heaved another long sigh and sat on the bed, setting the tray between them. "You missed a great lunch." She grinned softly, grabbing one of the mugs and a churro, dipping it into the chocolate. "Not hungry.." Kagome pouted, eyeing the food and forcing herself not to grab all of it. Smokey raised a brow, taking a bite from her churro. "You can't dwell on him the rest of your life ya know.." Kagome nodded and grabbed her own mug and churro. "Why are men pigs?" She looked at her friend, sipping some of the chocolate. Smokey blinked and stared at her cup pondering. "I have no clue.." She grinned and finished off a churro, reaching for another. "Primal instincts I guess.they never grew out of the whole grunting caveman thing." Kagome laughed and shook her head.

Kagome looked over at her friend as they finished their snack. "Do you wanna go shopping?" She fought back a laugh at the look of horror on the wolf hanyou's face. "Shopping?" Smokey cleared her throat and blinked. "Shopping? Um....sure?" Kagome grinned and pushed her friend off the bed, sliding off the other side. "You can't go dressed like that though!" She grabbed Smokey's arm, dragging her off the floor and into her room, all the way to the closet. Smokey sat on the floor, watching Kagome dig through the clothes. "Don't you have anything not custom-made for the mob?!?" The frustrated girl growled. Smokey shook her head. "all my clothes are designed to hide my weapons.." She grinned then yelped as a pair of jeans hit her in the face. "what was that for!?" "put those on." Kagome glared at Smokey as she slowly got to her feet, moving to the bathroom. "I don't like these though." "put them on!" "ok!!" Smokey hurried into the bathroom and shut the door, walking out a moment later, the jeans hanging low on her hips exposing most of her well-muscled stomach. Kagome grinned. "You look great!!" Smokey blushed and muttered something about feeling exposed. "What about my gun?" "no gun." "but." Kagome shook her head and grabbed Smokey's arm, dragging her into the hallway and down the stairs. "We're going shopping, not duck hunting."

After two agonizing hours of wondering around the mall, Smokey finally convinced Kagome to stop long enough to get ice cream. As they ate, Kagome rambled more about make-ups and brands of clothes as Smokey tried to seem interested. -Nothing is worse than this.- the wolf hanyou sighed, taking another bite of the ice cream and pouted as Kagome started talking about shoes.

Another two hours later the girls emerged from the store, carrying close to twenty bags. "Remind me again why you need all this stuff?" Smokey questioned as she pulled out the keys to her car and opened the back. "I'm suffering from a heartbreak.lemme buy whatever I want, even if I don't need it." Kagome pouted cutely as she placed her bags in the Viper. Smokey sighed, putting the rest of the bags in and closing the trunk. Suddenly she stopped, looking up as a black Rolls Royce drove slowly past, its side window rolled down, the barrel of a gun visible. "Get down!!" Smokey moved barely in time as the gun shots started, one bullet skimming her arm as she knocked Kagome to the ground and reached for her own gun on her ankle, returning the fire, shattering the back window of the Royce and knocking out a back tire. Kagome laid on the ground in shock then sat up, as the black car sped onto the street and out of sight. Smokey slowly got back to her feet, breathing hard. "damnit.." Kagome, looked over her friend and gasped at the blood oozing down her arm. "you.you got hit." Smokey shrugged. "just skimmed" Kagome stood "Who was that??" The wolf hanyou looked down, releasing the trigger on her gun. "it looked like Inuyasha.." She muttered with a growl. Kagome clenched her fist, her anger growing for a particular individual.
