We Can't Be Friends
Chapter Eight: Vacation
Kagome silently slipped into her apartment, hoping Sango was asleep. Instead she found a small party going in her home. Sango had invited over a few friends for beers, and now everything had spiraled of control. Sango was making out with Miroku in the corner, and a few people Kagome didn't know doing the same against the wall. Appalled, she managed to drag her slightly sloshed roommate into the living room, and get her to kick everyone out.
After giving Sango a cup of coffee, Kagome made her way to her own room, just to find two guys passed out on her floor.
"Get out of my damn room!" Kagome screamed. The guys jerked awake and half stomped half swaggered to the door. With a disgusted snarl she slammed the door behind her and quickly undressed.
'Peace at least!' she thought slipping on a simple tank top with boy shorts. (boy shorts rock!) She was about to plop down on the bed when she noticed it was rumpled and it had traces of liquid on it. With a frustrated / appalled scream, she tore the sheets off and tossed them on the ground.
"This isn't working!" she growled to no one in particular, shoving on a pair of dirty jeans. With a mood that screamed 'Don't fuck with me!' she stormed from her bedroom and into the kitchen. Sango was still sipping her coffee, and Miroku was eating a bun-bun.
Sango looked up with interest. Miroku shivered and headed to the opposite side of the room. Kagome glared death upon both before yanking her purse and cell phone from the counter and heading out to her car.
Once inside the little Toyota, she attempted to call her fiancé, but he wasn't picking up. After listening to his voice mail for the third time she angrily threw her phone out the window.
'Damn him!' she thought starting the car.
After about an hour, she stopped outside a diner. Exhausted and drained of all evil wishing, she thought about calling her second best friend, Eri, just to rant to her. It as only 4 in the morning, but knowing the party girl, she was probably still up. Now feeling better, she rummaged though her faux Louis Vuitton hand bag for her cell.
She groaned. It wasn't there. Then with a little haziness, she briefly remembered throwing it out. She leaned her head against the steering wheel and took a few deep breaths.
'Just drive,' she thought to herself. She backed out from the parking lot and back into the crowded city streets.
She drove aimlessly. Without cares. Without actual thought.
The dinner with her mother earlier that night sprang into her head. Fresh tears blinded her and she hastily stopped the car again. With loud, from the heart sobs she cried her eyes out.
After a while, she drove back home.
::Beep:: ::Beep:: ::Beep:: ::Beep:: ::Beep::
Kagome groggily opened her eyes and glanced at her alarm clock.
5:23 in the afternoon. She turned to the annoying phone Sango bought her as an early wedding present. Sure enough, it was the source of the racket.
"Blasted....." she mumbled grabbing it. She checked the caller I.D. She grunted. Mr. Wonderful himself.
"You called eight times last night."
She blinked.
"And where were you last night?" she demanded. She heard him chuckle into the phone.
"I was out on business. A man is interested in buying the firm." he replied cool as a cucumber.
"Didn't you just merge with the Ivy Firm?"
"Yes, it boasted the company value about three million dollars. I will be selling if the price is right. I've thought about starting a newspaper-"
"Is that a smart thing to do? There are enough newspapers."
"Don't worry your sweet little head, I've read into it, it's not hard. A few payoffs and lies."
She started venomously at the phone "I hate liars." she almost snarled.
"But not the one you're going to marry. Look, I've made arrangements for us to be on the most luxurious cruise ever created. Inuyasha and his fiancé shall be joining us. I've sent over Kadura with directions and a few bags. I had her go over to fashion center and picked you up some items. She'll help you pack."
"Sesshoumaru I have to watch the restaurant, and besides, I have another book due in a couple of days."
"I can get someone to write the rest of it for you," he replied, his voice getting impatient.
"Sesshoumaru that's my book! I don't want anyone else writing my book!" she yelled into the phone. She heard some muttered words on the other end.
"Well I've spent good money on our vacation, bring the damn book if you really want too," he said with just a hint of anger.
"I don't like it when you swear," she grumbled fiddling with her hair.
"Don't you, I remember you doing so in the car the other day?" he whispered refereeing to her spat with Inuyasha. She felt her face heat up, and was grateful he couldn't see her.
"You just sound so sinister doing it."
::creepy laughter::
"Maybe a trip is a good idea, I'll see what I can arrange" she said emerging from the newly cleaned room. After a short good-bye they hung up.
Kagome looked around and sighed deeply.
'What did I just get myself into?' she thought.

BGLI
I hope liked it. Things are definitely going to heat up on the trip! Maybe some Sess/Kag action. I doubt it, I hate Kagome and Inuyasha not being together! For you Kikyo and Sesshoumaru lovers, this is no different from any other Kag/Inu lover story. They'll always end up bad guys! (Though I love Sess-sama dearly) ::sighs::
