-Prologue-
Inuyasha was on his bed sitting in the corner, with Kagome in his arms. He gently rested his head atop hers as they watched the ridiculous action flick that had been on for the past hour and a half. He liked things like this, watching movies with Kagome it was always nice.
Kagome had been napping lightly, when she awoke to the vibrating of her cell phone in her pocket.
"Moshi moshi." She answered her voice thick with sleep.
"Hey Kagome, are you ready to go out? Remember?" The boy on the other end of the line replied."
Kagome shook her head vigorously, how could she have forgotten?!
Oh damn, now I have to go out with Hobo. She laughed inwardly at her private joke.
Kagome shot up and kissed Inuyasha on his cheek, which earned her a look of surprise.
"Gotta go, Ja ne!" She called over her shoulder as she began to walk away.
"What? Hey where you goin to bitch?" He called slightly miffed.
"I gotta date with Hojo. Sayonara baka!" She called happily.
"Whatever, bitch." Inuyasha laid back down on his large over-sized bed and closed his eyes.
When did things get this messed up? Before we were together and everything was cool. Then all of a sudden, we're having a huge fight over some stupid shit, and now here we are lying together in my bed watching movies and she keeps running off for dates with her boyfriend Hofuck.
Inuyasha mentally shrugged, took a deep breath and stared up at his ceiling. He had plastered the part above his bed with pictures of models and half naked women posing extremely suggestively. He smirked
I remember the first time Kagome came over here and started yelling at me calling me a horny hentai, and told me that all I wanted her for was a good lay, and maybe to toy around with. That was the first time I kissed her. Dammit, what the fuck? I don't give a damn about her... At least, all she's good for is to have a conversation with. Even those are normally one-sided, and it's usually HER side.
Kagome rushed down the street and around the corner to the coffee shop. She sat down just as Hojo arrived.
"Hey Kagome!" Hojo said smiling, like always.
"Hey Hojo, what's up?" Kagome said, feigning interest. In reality she hadn't been thinking much since after the dream she had at Inuyasha's house.
FLASHBACK
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes love?"
"I missed you terribly."
"Oh my poor baby."
Oh the way he held me tight, and sweet-talked me, and romanced me, just like I've always wanted. He kissed me and whispered sweet things in my ear about our future together and what we would have. Our kids, a car, a nice house, a big yard, a good job, a decent income, and a happy life, oh the happiness of it all. Damn I miss him sometimes. But here I am with Hojo. -sigh- Oh! Hojo!
END FLASHBACK
Kagome suddenly realized that Hojo had been drawling on about some thing or another, for the past twenty minutes, and she didn't have half an inkling as to what he was talking about.
"Hojo?" Kagome asked tentatively.
"Yeah?" Hojo replied, a bit confused as to why she was interrupting his riveting speech on her rheumatism.
"Can we go? I'm a bit tired." She lied.
"Oh yeah, sure. Come on!" He responded merrily.
They walked together, but Kagome wasn't really all there. Their steps were out of sync, oddly synonymous to their relationship. The bottom line was that they just weren't right for each other.
Hojo kept rambling on about alternative medicinal cures, for Kagome's fictitious ailments, while Kagome's mind was anywhere but there.
"I mean it really should help hun! I found out about it in this one.... blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"
Does he ever shut up? Or does he yack all day long? God, I could cry from boredom right about now... Home... Home... Home... Home... HOME... HOME.... HOME... HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES I'M HOME!!!!
"I gotta hurry and go, Souta needs help with his homework before I leave for work. Ja ne!" Kagome fibbed.
"Oh okay, Ja ne!" He said as he waved at the closed door.
It's over! -sigh- I really should break up with him, before I do any serious damage. But why would I want to break up with him? I mean, I'm in a decent relationship, and what will I gain by dumping him? Who cares what I'll gain? Jeez, since when am I so selfish. I mean the whole world doesn't revolve around me. I guess it'll be better for Hojo, if I don't torment him anymore... Even if he isn't actually being tormented.
RIIIIIINNNNNNNGGG!!
"Moshi moshi?" Kagome answered exasperated.
"Moshi moshi?" The unidentified voice on the other line replied.
"Oh hey Inuyasha. What's up?" She asked, trying to sound polite.
"Not much. You gotta dump Hofuck." Inuyasha seethed.
"WHAT!? I don't have to do anything!!! And don't call my BOYFRIEND Hofuck!" She was steaming, she could have ripped out his throat and tied it to a tree limb. Not that she hadn't been thinking the same thing... But HOW DARE HE SAY THAT!?
"Kagome! You don't understand!" Inuyasha pleaded.
"I think I understand perfectly well." And with that she hung up the phone briskly and stormed out of her room into the bathroom.
She mechanically adjusted the temperature of the water before stepping in. She didn't even remember undressing, she was so mad she could have screamed.
INUYASHA NO BAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could he? He's such a pain in my ass! I swear, one minute he's my sweet little Inu-chan, and the next he's being grrrrr.... I swear.
What Kagome hadn't realized was the red flashing through her eyes, and the suggestion of wine colored streaks across her cheeks. Granted this had happened before, but she had never realized it. After all, in this day and age youkai and ningen lived together in peace. It was an unspoken bond that all acknowledged. She was well aware of Inuyasha's hanyou nature, but she was a bit concerned with being a full youkai, so she masked her scent and used a concealing spell, which seemed to work, as not even youkai could tell her apart from the ningen. The problem was, that Kagome didn't know, that when she was angry her spell faltered and her youkai traits began to show. The other problem was that Kagome's parents weren't really her legitimate mother and father, and she thought about this all the time, and was constantly on the lookout for anyone who smelled even remotely like herself.
Kagome let out a soft sigh, the steaming hot water had always had a calming effect on her, even when she was in the most heated of attitudes, the water could make her a docile as a lamb.
Her thoughts were racing, and keeping them straight was becoming an impossible task. Sorting out one from the next, it was unachievable. They kept clashing, and colliding, intermixing, and mutating into a giant thought that was ruling against her every will.
She was fed up, her head hurt, her back ached, and now her palms were bloodied from her own claws. She hadn't intended that last one, it had happened when she let her spell down and her irritation got the better of her, she had clenched her hands into fists as a way to keep her from screaming, the result had been a twinge of pain, and a few streams of blood dripping lazily down her forearms.
She washed quickly, and got out and toweled off. She wrapped the towel loosely around herself, and ran back into her room. She grabbed the phone off of it's cradle, and dialed her boyfriend's number with memorized movements.
She heard the ring and then the answer of Hojo's perky voice.
"Moshi moshi?"
"..." Kagome suddenly snapped back to reality. "Oh...err... Hojo? We need to talk." She started.
"Okay. What's on your mind Kagome?" He asked curiously.
"Hojo thisisn'tworkingoutandIdon'tthinkweshouldbetogetherbecausewejustaren'tgood
foreachotherandIthinkyoudeservebetterI'msorry!" She was out of breath by the end of that sentence...Well...Word.
".....Oh. I see. Well okay then. Sayonara." Then she heard the click of the phone, well that had been easier then she had thought. But it had also been ten times as hard as she had ever hoped it would be. But if she didn't leave soon she would be late for work.
