Chapter 3

Measurements of the Truth

Inuyasha's POV

The girls did a lot for the wedding for the past 8 weeks. Koga and I have been helping Miroku with packing his stuff and moving to Sango's house. We unpacked Miroku's stuff and fitted everything around the house. When I got home from moving Miroku's belongings, I found a message on my machine.

"Inuyasha. It's Kagome. I need you to come by my office at the company tomorrow around 3-7. Bye." Said Kagome's voice from the machine.

I sank into my couch that was next to the phone. I was amazed. Did Kagome actually want to talk about why she broke up with me at last? My heart belonged with the woman.

Sure, we didn't get along the first time we met. Bumping into each other in the hall and calling each other a 'wench' or an 'asshole'. But then I kept that guy Hobo or whatever away from her. I had set my eyes on Kagome. The Kagome that opened her heart up to me for five years. The Kagome that loved me for a hanyou. The Kagome that broke my heart for no apparent reason and refused to talk about it for three years.

It was time that I learned the truth…

I knocked on Kagome's office door the next day around 5. She had drawings of dresses and other things for her jobs on one side of the room and drawings of things for Sango's wedding on the other. Kagome's desk was neatly piled of papers and of drawing pads. There were tape measures, pencils, pens on her desk put neatly together. She was an organized woman that new what to do. I shut the door.

Kagome was at her desk looking over designs for Sango's wedding. She looked up to see me. Her usually soft brown eyes looked emotionless. "Sit down Inuyasha." She ordered. I sat down across from her waiting to hear what she called me down for. "I need to get your measurements for your tux so the designers can begin making it." She replied.

That's wanted she called me up for? That's what I was called down for? So much for the 'going to tell me for the truth of our break-up'. I stood up as she picked up her tape measure. She came over to me and we became face to face. Her eyes were now icy and cold instead of emotionless.

"Stretch you arms out." She ordered. I did what I was told. There was an awkward silence between us until I said, "Now that you and I are alone, tell me the truth."

Kagome looked at me and replied, "The truth about what?"

"You know what I mean. I want to know. I waited three years to find out and I deserve to know."

"Don't tell me you don't know. It was so obvious." Kagome said coldly. She wrote some numbers down on a piece of paper.

"No I don't. You broke things off with me and immediately got up and left the restaurant. I want to know." I demanded.

She faced me and whispered in a voice that leaked venom into every word. "You want to know? Fine. Three years ago, at the opening of your new company. I saw you making out with someone else. (A/N: dare you to guess whom. I won't get into any details with her though) It hurt me so much to actually witness that."

I made out with someone three years ago when Kagome and I were together? When was this? I don't remember such a thing. "I don't remember making out with someone at the opening party." I say.

"Bullshit. That's what they all say. So there. You know the truth now of why I broke up with you. What are you going to do now?" she retorted. Kagome wrote more answers down.

She turned back to me with eyes of stone. "I love you Kagome. I want you back." I answer. I put one hand behind her head and crushed my lips on hers. Kagome didn't fight back and push me away but she did not kiss me back. She just let me kiss her. I let go of her and saw she was slightly red in the face. Her breathing was a little heavier. She looked stunned at what I did.

"Inuyasha…" she whispered. She looked away from my gaze. She touched her lips and said nothing else.

"Kagome do you…" I began. But she cut me off.

"I know what you're going to ask! 'Do you still love me?' You want the entire truth right? Yes, I do love you still! It hurt me so much to see you with that…that girl!" she yelled. I was probably sure that everyone outside Kagome's office could hear everything.

"Then why did you break up with me in the first place if you still loved me?" I shouted back.

"I broke up with you because I was mad at you! Not because I stopped loving you!" She said. (A/N: Yes I do know that I take that line from Jennifer Aniston from FRIENDS. Don't flame me if you think I stole it. I'm giving credit to the people that made the line up…)Her eyes were flaring with anger, hurt, and love.

"Even though you broke my heart, I didn't stop loving you either!" I shout.

"I have all of your measurements now Inuyasha. You can go now." She mumbled. Tears were brimming in her eyes now.

I said nothing. I opened her office door and left.

Kagome's POV

I stood there with tears streaming down my face after Inuyasha left. I told him everything. My feelings and the truth…All of it was real. The words had spilled out of my mouth like a waterfall. There was no way to stop it.

I'd hate to think what'll happen next. Inuyasha would have told Koga and Miroku who would have told their fiancé/wife. The truth was out and I can't take it back now.

I sink into my chair and bury my face in my hands. I let all the tears flow freely now with no restraints.
