Ch. 4 Taking Out The Trash
"KAGOME !! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAiR ?!!" screeched her mother.
Kagome winced. She hadn't thought about what she was going to say when she got home. "I uhh . . I donated it to the hair salon to make wigs for the kids with cancer." She closed her eyes, praying her mom would believe her.
"Oh how thoughtful !!" exclaimed her mother. "You look absolutely darling with that cut dear. Very trendy."
Kagome sighed and wandered into her room. Tossing her bag onto the bed, she looked over to the computer. She wanted to talk to Inuyasha. 'But,' she thought. 'That'll have to wait. Stupid Kikyou . . now I have twice as much homework!!'
---------------------------------------------
It was Thursday. Inuyasha sat playing video games with Miroku.
"Take that !! And that and that and that !!" yelled Inuyasha.
"I don't think so !!" yelled back Miroku. "Hiyaaaa !!" he cried as his character finished off Inuyasha's.
Inuyasha's thumbs were cramping up from playing so much. "Want something to eat ?" he asked.
"Don't you mean, 'Do you want some ramen ?' I swear, that's the only thing you have to eat in the place," replied Miroku. His stomach growled loudly and Inuyasha fell back laughing. "Sounds like you're in no position to be picky." Miroku glared at his friend, and began laughing too. Inuyasha wandered into the kitchen to start some ramen.
"So how's everything going with Kikyou ?"
"I don't know. It's not like I talk to her."
"That's kinda . . odd," said Miroku, scratching his head.
"Not really. Just because we're going out doesn't mean I need to know every detail of her life. I actually don't wanna know."
"Then why are you going out with her ? You already know she cheats on you since you won't sleep with her," commented Miroku, joining his friend in the kitchen.
"I dhunno . . I guess I just need something to really push me over the edge. I don't break up with her because its like we're not even going out. We sit together at lunch and go to parties together, where she ditches me. So nothing she does bothers me. Except . . " His sentence faded.
"Except what ?" asked Miroku.
"Well . . last week we were late to class right ? So we're turning a corner and Kagome Higurashi runs smack into me. Kikyou totally trips out and bitches at Kagome like there's no tomorrow."
"So what ?" said Miroku. "She does that to everyone."
Inuyasha sighed. Miroku didn't know how he felt about Kagome. "Yeah I guess you're right . . but why does she always have to be so . . so . ."
"Possessive ? Bitchy ? Mean ? Aggressive ?" offered Miroku.
Inuyasha's ears drooped. "Yeah . . " The water began to boil and Inuyasha put the noodles in.
After a few minutes, Inuyasha and Miroku were happily slurping up ramen.
------------------------------------------------
Friday. The weekend was coming. Kagome thanked Kami because she was officially fed up with school. The essays, the labs, the reports, the research. She was considering dropping out and joining the family occupation of priesthood. 'Yeah right,' she thought. 'I'd do anything to avoid ending up like Jii-chan.'
She looked in her closet, happy to see new choices of what to wear. She chose a white t shirt and wore a black business style blazer over it, a pair of jeans, and her black AF1's. Looking in the mirror, she assessed her hair. 'It doesn't look half bad. And it's easier to manage. I'll have to remember to thank Kikyou.' She applied some lipgloss and took her bag with her downstairs.
"Ohayo Mama," said Kagome entering the kitchen. But it was empty. "Why do they always go without telling me ?" she whined. She considered making breakfast, but opted taking a breakfast bar with her. She hopped in her black Honda Civic and sped off to school.
Kagome was in a good mood, although she didn't know why. She wandered through the school going to all her classes. Only at lunch, did her usual stupor hit her. 'I have to eat alone . .' she thought. Sighing, she made her way up to the roof.
--------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha sighed. Finally, it was the end of school. The bell had just rung and he made his way through the halls to his locker. He felt a hand on his back and stiffened. It was Kouga.
"Hey, what's up ?" asked Kouga.
"Not much man. What are you up to tonight ?" asked Inuyasha, as he resumed digging in his locker.
"I'm not sure yet. Hey why don't you go ask Kikyou if we can hang out at her place ?"
Inuyasha grimaced. The last thing he wanted to do was go to Kikyou's, but he had nothing better to do. "Sure," he answered.
Kouga slapped him on the back. "Cool man. I gotta go pick up a couple girls 'kay ? Later." He took off in a blur.
Sighing, Inuyasha went off to go find Kikyou.
---------------------------------------------------
"Well look at that. Little Miss Kagome dressed up today," taunted Kikyou. Nanako and Ayumi snickered behind her. "Nanako, please take Kagome's coat for her." Doing as she was told, Nanako removed Kagome's jacket and placed it on the art table. Kikyou took the edge knife, and skimmed it across Kagome's pale skin. "Where should we start . . how about, here !!" she cried, carving Kagome's arm above her elbow. Kagome bit her lip, drawing blood, but would not give Kikyou the satisfaction of hearing her cry out.
"Hey Kikyou, Kou- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOiNG BiTCH ?!!"
Kikyou sprang away from Kagome. "Inuyasha !! W-what are y-you doing here ?"
Inuyasha scooped up Kagome and managed to grab her coat and bag. "What are YOU doing here Kikyou ? What the fuck were you thinking ?!!" he snarled. Kikyou, getting over the shock, toughened up. "What the hell does it LOOK like I'm doing !! I'm teaching that wench a lesson. I already know you slept with her," she spat. Inuyasha glared daggers at her. "That," he growled, "is none of your fucking BUSiNESS !!" He swung around and left, carrying Kagome and her stuff with him.
-------------------------------------------------
His hands were shaking.
After making sure she was okay, Inuyasha had dropped Kagome off. When he was sure he was inside, he had gone straight home. He couldn't risk being in public because his blood was boiling over. If someone looked at him the wrong way, he was sure he would snap. And there was no way in hell he was going over to Kikyou's tonight. What the fuck was she doing to her ? And why was Kagome just letting her ? To say Inuyasha was angry was an understatment. His aura flared and burned with hostility.
After entering his home, he slammed the door shut, causing the windows to rattle. He made some ramen and ate it automatically, his mind too preoccupied to savor the flavor. Standing suddenly, he stalked to the computer and turned it on.
-------------------------------------------------------
Kagome didn't cry. What for ? It's not like that was the first time it had happened. She sighed, looking at the fresh slash across her arm. She gingerly applied salve to it and went to the computer. 'Hmm . .' she wondered. 'I wonder if Inuyasha will bring it up.' With that thought, she quickly turned on the computer, eager to see his response. But then her stomach growled. (A/N: Sorry I'm really hungry right now and all I can think of is food.) Sighing, she darted downstairs, carefully avoiding Buyo, and decided to eat some left over fried rice. Dishing it into a bowl, Kagome then grabbed a fork and went back upstairs.

Inuyasha awoke, smelling a strong aroma coming from his kitchen. He got up, following the scent where he stopped short. It couldn't be. Inuyasha rubbed his eyes, making sure he was seeing right. There in his kitchen, stood Kikyou cooking ramen.
"How the hell did you get in here ?!!"
Kikyou turned around smiling coyly. "Good morning sexy," she purred. "I was wondering when you were gonna wake up."
"Answer me Kikyou. How the HELL did you get in here ? While we're at it, how the hell did you find out where I live ?"
Kikyou giggled. "I just did Kouga a little . . favor. So he told me. Heheh"
"Damn wolf . ." he muttered. "Kikyou, we need to talk."
Kikyou giggled again. Damn, that sound was annoying. "No Inuyasha, what we need to do, is not talk," she said, slipping out of her robe. It pooled around her ankles, baring her naked body. Inuyasha turned his head in disgust. "Kikyou," he growled, trying to keep his temper in check. "Put your clothes back on right now." Kikyou closed the distance between them, pulling his forelocks to kiss him. When he did not pull away, she released them, and took his hands to make them roam her body. As his claws raked over her, she moaned into his mouth. That's when he pushed her away.
"Kikyou, leave."
She pouted. "I understand if you're not ready for a big girl yet. After all, you've only been with Higurashi. But do you reall think its neccessary for me to leave ? We could . . do a little something to get you in the mood." She reached up to brush his bangs from his eyes, but he knocked her arm away. "No Kikyou . . I never want to see you again." He stalked towards her, death in his eyes. "It's bad enough that you cheat on me. I really don't give a damn because you don'tmean shit to me, but when you hurt Kagome Higurashi, you crossed the line. If I EVER see you near her again, I will tear you from limb to limb." He backed her up against the door, and her eyes were wide with terror. "Get out," he growled, and shoved her out the door.
"Wait," she cried. "Can't O have my clothes back ?!!"
"No, you can go naked so everyone can see you for the slut you are."
The door slammed in her face.
