Giving Up On What Was: Chapter Three

"Kagome....Kagome please pick up...please..."

Coming out of my stupor I picked up the phone, thankful that it is not wireless, and in the most casual voice I could muster I responded, "Hello Sango."

"Listen Kagome I can explain what happened, so please I'm asking you to listen to what I have to say."

"There's nothing for you to have to explain Sango...things like this happen." I said. But my voice betrayed what I had spoken, for I know that I sounded bitter and angry.

"I didn't know that he was going to kiss me. Kagome please, you have to believe me. He said that you would be there early today and so I decided to wait with him on the bench. We were just sitting there until he turned around and kissed me. That was when you saw us. I hadn't had time to react because the situation seemed so surreal to me and so I froze. So please Kagome, please don't hate me."

Her asking turned into sobbing pleas and I knew that she was telling the truth. The eyes that I hadn't realized I had narrowed suddenly loosened as I began to pity her. It wasn't her fault that He cheated on me.

"Sango it's all right. I don't hate you so please, stop crying."

I heard sniffles on the other side of the line.

"Are you sure Kagome?"

"Yeah Sango...we're ok......ummm Sango...aren't you supposed to be in school?"

"Yeah I should be getting back to class. I told the teacher that I had an urgent thing that I just remembered and she let me go."

I laughed. "Sango...that was mean." I scolded playfully.

"Well she should have been more suspicious. Umm...so...since we're ok...I'm going to go back to class...are you still planning on going to the party tonight?"

"I don't know...I told my mom I was going to sleep over at your house and she's also not here anyways and so she wouldn't know if went...but I don't really feel up to it." I replied. It was weird, we were talking as if nothing happened and, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't want to talk to Sango any other way.

"Yeah...well I have to watch Kohaku tonight and so I will have to stay at home. But I think that you should go, you know? Don't let what happened get in the way of you having fun tonight."

"I'll think about it."

"You'd better," I laughed at her empty threat, "oh crud...I have to go...the principal's on his way down this hall...see ya Kag."

"Bye Sango."

The party...I had totally forgotten about it. It was supposed to be held at 9:00 PM tonight at Club Shikon. The only problem is that He was invited too and we were supposed to go together.

"Oh well...I suppose I can go alone if I feel like it...I mean how unlucky would I have to be to run into a certain unwanted wolf demon on the single most packed night in any club?" I told myself while heading to the kitchen. Grabbing the container of ice cream I sat down on the couch and dug in with a tablespoon. I turned on the TV and with the aid of a sappy romance movie where the woman dies in the end, I cried.

Eventually 8:00 came around and I had spent the entire day watching TV. He hadn't called and neither had Inuyasha or anyone else for that matter.

I got off the couch and headed upstairs, praying that the dancing I was going to do would get rid of the extra weight in ice cream I have added.

Putting on a black halter top and dark blue jeans and some lip gloss and mascara, I headed downstairs. I grabbed a fake leather jacket from the hook and put on a pair of shoes. It was 8:37 by the time I was done.

I went to the door and opened it. When I did, Inuyasha was waiting on the porch with his hand mid-air about to knock on my door.

We stared at each other for about 30sec until Inuyasha broke the air, "planning on walking there?"

When I got out of my daze, my mind began to process what he was saying. Why would I walk....o...that's right...my mom took the car to grandpa's. What a fool, but I wasn't about to let Inuyasha see that.

"No...in fact I called a taxi to pick me up...what are you doing here Inuyasha?"

"Keh...not that I care but I figured that you might need a ride to the party...you know since..." He trailed off but I knew what he was going to say. He would have said 'since Kouga dumped you' but I guess Inuyasha wasn't all that mean. He was sweet to think of me and pick me up actually. Well as sweet as Inuyasha could get anyways.

"Thanks..." I smiled up at him.

"Keh." He shrugged but his eyes remained staring into mine. We were trapped in a trance once again. This had been happening a lot lately.

Inuyasha broke away from the gaze first and looked toward his car. "Come on...the longer we wait, the less time I get to glare at my annoying brother."

I giggled. "Sure Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's brother was Sesshomaru who happened to own Club Shikon. The joys of having a sibling who owned a club were greatly exploited by Inuyasha, who got in free whenever he wanted.

I was glad that I had remembered to lock the door because Inuyasha began gently pulling me toward his Mercedes. Wait...Mercedes?

"Inuyasha...what happened to your car?"

"Nothing...I just figured the Mercedes was much classier for the occasion then the Ferrari."

I sighed. The joys of having more than one car all to your own...

When we got into the car I immediately put my seatbelt on. Mothers and their ways of instilling goodness in you. Inuyasha got in shortly afterwards in the driver's seat. He turned on the car and turned up the radio. Just my luck that Simple Plan's "My Life" was playing because after today, the song had new meaning to me.

The ride was quiet, between Inuyasha and me, the entire time.

We finally reached the club at 9:30, being late but it was better then showing up exactly on time. Inuyasha parked the car and we stepped out of it. I looked up at the gleaming lights and took a deep breath. I really hope that all the luck in the world is resting with me tonight.

Note:

Sango doesnt seem the emotional type but im sure she would be to get Kagome's trust back....that's all i can think of for this note...although....i wonder why the amount of reviews for the second chapter went down from the first chapter (feeling unloved). Hehe...
