We Can't Be Friends
Chapter Five: Regetting to Know You
Shesshoumaru left an hour into the party, saying Bill had gotten the merger through, and he had to fly to Florida to sign the last of the paper work. With both, Kikyo and Shesshoumaru gone, there wasn't any need to stay. As Inuyasha prepared to leave, Kagome hailed him over from her little retreat corner. She had that smile on her face, that genuinely happy, I can't hear all the negative smile. He walked over, giving her his warmest smile.
"Why Inuyasha, no one told me you'd be here tonight!" Kagome laughed. He sat down with her, soaking in her breathtaking beauty a second. She opened her purse, dumping a sleeping Pooky into his arms.
"You still carry the damn cat in your purse?" he asked incredusaly, wondering how she got though the night without the fear of her waking up in mewing like crazy. But the cat brought back good memories, memories he'd just been thinking about. He's rare dorky smile plastered itself on his face. He rubbed her, two inches from her spine, just where she liked it. She purred, a feline smile pushing through kitty dreams.
"You remember Pooky, I'm sure." She said smiling, a tiny hint of sadness flashing now and there in her eyes.
"Unforgettable, really. Um, do you remember how day in and day out you cared for that kitten? Everyone said she would die, but you held on. It was like you knew she wouldn't die." He laughed. Kagome smiled at him, her eyes far away in the past. He cleared his throat.
"I'm really~"
"It's really~"
They both smiled, looking away quickly. Pooky continued to purr in Inuyasha lap.
"Inu~"
"Kag~"
They laughed shyly, " Go ahead." Inuyasha coaxed. Kagome gave him a small smile, breathing deeply.
"Um, it's just really good to see you again. It's been five years, you seem to be doing great. Shesshoumaru pointed your fiancé out earlier, she's beautiful, she seems real nice. You're doing great things I've heard."
"Uh, huh, and you're marrying my brother." He stated flatly. She flinched a bit, a large wall of reality crushing her. He gave her a famous disapproving look, then sighing, handing Pooky back carefully. His good mood failing and crashing. He knew it would come back down to their relationship.
"I didn't know yall were related, actually. Shesshoumaru and I met a few weeks after our breakup."
" I guess by break up you mean standing me up at the alter. And after that never having the decency to call and explain the reason for doing so. For two long years I pondered the reason of your sudden disappearance. You even managed to clear the apartment of all your stuff before I got back from the church." He said coldly. She sighed, giving him an anxious look.
"I should've been expecting that, and I guess I kinda deserved it, huh." She said, her voice shaky. They knew each other well. ( They were best friends before they started to date, and then they dated for two years ) Inuyasha knew that, the shaky voice meant tears. Even now he hated to make her cry.
"I would ask why, and maybe even scream a bit, but I'm happy, and I'm getting married come July. I don't really want to know why, anymore, and I don't want to talk about the past. Whatever the reason was for doing that, knowing you, you had a really good excuse. So why don't we skip all the drama." His voice was a little more harsher than he expected.
"Uh, fine, Inuyasha, we won't talk about it. Well um, how did you meet Kikyo?" she asked. He gave her a funny look.
"Kikyo and I were friends in junior high. She left for a private school after, and I haven't seen her since May of three years ago. She's an interior designer and fashion designer, the best of both worlds. She designed my beach house. We went on a few dates, had a lot of fun. We come from the same world, we understood each other. I proposed a week ago."
"Really, that sounds interesting. Interior designer huh, my new apartment could use a little creativity..."
"I don't think so, Kagome. She's pretty booked until next year almost. She does big time, it's not cheap." Kagome gave him a glare that could kill. He turned away, those looks could keep Freddy or Jason up at night. He made an awful mistake.
"Expensive huh? Well I broke into the writing business, and published three books, True Love, Dove's Kiss, and that book of poems you bugged me about making, I called it Unwell. I've made good money on all three of them. I also own this fine restaurant you're sitting in right now. If you don't remember, something I loved to say was, 'love is like the blue rose'. Midori Bara means blue rose. I've been doing fine myself, so don't try and hint I'm marrying Shesshoumaru for money! I have plenty of my own! I'm doing something with my life! I didn't take daddy's handouts! I work for everything I have!" she hissed at him, getting ready to leave. He stayed there stunned, she'd achieved her lifetime goals in five years! He had yet to tell anyone he wanted to paint. He was actually great at it, and had a good group in storage.
Kagome was up and leaving before Inuyasha snapped out of his unbelieving state. He made a mad dash for her, stopping her before she made it to a taxi.
"Kagome, I didn't mean it that way! I swear I didn't..." a taxi came up, stopping in front of them. She opened the door, turning on him before getting in.
"Inuyasha you haven't changed at all, and I don't care to talk to you. I thought maybe we can get over the fact we didn't work out. There are always good reasons for me not doing something, and there was a good one for not marring you. Inuyasha I'm not here to degrade and reminisce about what could've been, I'm happy too. Maybe it's better we stay out of each other's new lives. You've made it apparent you don't want me in yours." Her voice was cold and steady. She got into the taxi, and it sped off. He closed his eyes, feeling like a real jackass. He walked back in, picking up his drink from the table.
"Okay ladies and gentlemen, that's it for tonight's party. Unfortunately, the host had to run out on business, so I'll close for him with a thank you and good night." A man called from the stage. Inuyasha sighed, kicking himself mentally.

You can't tell me you didn't see the whole stood me up at the alter thing coming! If you didn't, that's a good thing, I've managed to surprise you! One thing I'll point out, I use phrases, characters, and places over and over. Midori Bara will come into play in my next fanfic, as a nightclub. It'll come up in Kikyo, as a name for a young seer. 'Love is like the blue rose' will come back into play soon. I love that phrase, I made it up myself. Asia, Normandy, Delilyah, and Amiki will come in here too. I don't like to make up new stuff all the time, so Delilyah is the older sister again, Normandy will be the obsessed ex, and Asia the physo. Amiki has been created for this story. She just might show up in Kikyo, chap. 26. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this, and will enjoy my other three. If you want a contuiation of Run to the Arms, email me at loveofwords5@yahoo.com, and if I get enough, I'll update it next week, and continue with the story line. Peace and Reviews!
