Catch Her With A Net
Disclaimer: Why do I have to keep doing this ? Again, if I owned Inuyasha, he wouldn't be with Kagome. He'd be with me. So OBViOUSLY I don't own a thing. ENJOY !!
Chapter 13: All Falls Down
Kagome sat on the roof, staring at the landscape once again. Her pale blue, knee length skirt billowed in the wind, as did the sleeves her white peasant top. What the hell was going on ? After everything with Inuyasha, he leaves her for Kikyou in that one second he saw her. And then he has the gall to wink at her !! "ARGH !!" screamed Kagome, tears pouring down her cheeks. "How could I be so stupid ?!!"
"Kagome, I never knew that you talked to yourself."
"Kouga !!" Kagome exclaimed, whirling to face the man behind her. "Shippou too ?!! Uhh . . what are you doing here ?"
"Well . . you weren't at our table, and I remembered that you were heading towards the roof a long time ago. I was just seeing what's up. How come you're not downstairs ?"
"Yeah Kagome, " Shippou said. "We haven't seen you since Friday and now you're ditching on us."
"I'm not ditching on you guys. It's just . . its complicated," she sighed.
"No its not," came a voice as the door opened again. "It's because Inuyasha is downstairs with Kikyou."
"Miroku !!" Kagome said, staring at yet another friend. "Well, yeah that's basically it," she admitted. "What's wrong with me ? How could I have trusted him so easily when he's left me before ? How could I have thought that he had changed ?" Tears began to spill all over again.
Miroku walked up to his friend, and wrapped his arms around her in a brotherly hug. "Shh, don't cry Kagome. There's nothing wrong with you. It's him. I honestly don't know whats going through his head. He was always so obsessed with you and then he turns around and acts completely different. Would you care for me to talk to him ?"
Kagome shook her head, sobbing into Miroku's black shirt. "N-no t-thats okay. sniff I'd really rather just leave it alone."
Kouga stepped forward and took Kagome into his arms. "Kagome, we're always here for you. That dumbass made the biggest mistake, and I won't let him get it away with it this time."
Kagome nodded into his cobalt blue t shirt and sniffled. Tears still came, but it was because she was happy she had such good friends. But about Inuyasha . .
------------------------
Kagome skipped her last period to avoid having to see Inuyasha after school. It was just too much. She raced home, eager to throw everything he owned out of her house. 'That bastard,' she thought, angrily swiping away another tear. She had spend the whole day in the nurse's office. Her stomach was tight from stress and a headache had emerged from the tears. She saw her house. She pulled in so fast that when she stopped, her car skidded sideways, almost making a complete circle. 'I'm sorry Hiro. you'll never get to see your father. I pray to God that you don't grow up to be like him. I should still go and visit . . '
Kagome cleaned herself up and placed cucumber slices on her eyes to reduce the unsightly puffiness. After reapplying her light makeup, Kagome smoothed her skirt and set out for the Sakamotos. She blasted the radio to distract her mind. "Wonder Bout" was on, and as Kagome listened to the lyrics, she knew she had to be strong. One day, she could sing this song with feeling. She could live without Inuyasha. Her soul had recovered once, it could do it again. Granted, it had turned into a black void, but that wasn't the point. Kagome hummed softly, ready to see the Sakamotos.
Or so she thought.
------------------------
Kagome's jaw dropped. On the Sakamotos' lawn, were Toji, Hiro, and Inuyasha all wrestling. Kagome marched right up to Inuyasha and yanked him up by his ear. "What in seven hells do you think you're doing here ?" she hissed. "Hey Kags !" he said cheerfully, although his ear was still clenched in her fist. "You said we were coming here after school, but I couldn't find you so I came by myself. Now, with that aside, there's something I need to talk to you about. See the wh--"
"Auntie Kagomeeeee !!" Hiro yelled, attaching himself to her leg. Kagome let go of Inuyasha's ear and scooped the child up into her arms. "Hey Hiro !!" she said, hugging him tight. "How are you sweetie ?"
"I'm okies. Dis man says dat he's your boyfwend. Is dat true ?" he asked, wide-eyed.
Kagome's eyes flashed, but willed herself to calm down. "No sweetie, he's not my boyfriend. I don't even know him."
Inuyasha stared at her in disbelief.
He began to protest, by Kagome ignored him to address the red-headed woman by the door. She was very tall with pale skin and green, almond-shaped eyes. She had on a pair of jeans, a black t shirt, and was barefoot, her toenails painted red. "Hey Kaori !! We just dropped by to say hi. I have to uh . . talk to Inuyasha alone." Kaori smirked at her, flicking back her loose hair. "I thought you said you didn't know him." A sweatdrop formed on Kagome's brow. "Ehh . .Kaori, you know how it goes. I really don't know him at all. I thought I did, but then he goes off and . . " Kagome stopped talking, too choked up with tears once again. "Aww hun, don't cry," comforted Kagome, pulling her into a hug. "You call me later and tell me everything that's happening. And if you want, I'll have Tatsuya go and beat that punk up."
Kagome glanced at the said teenager, in khaki pants and a black sweater. "He doesn't really look like a punk, but I catch your drift." Laughing, she bid farewell to the other woman. She hugged Toji goodbye, causing him to blush furiously, and she bent down in front of Hiro. "Okay sweetie, Auntie Kagome's gotta go now."
"Aww . . " whined the child, who absently kicked at the grass. "Do you gotta leave ? You just got here."
Kagome smiled, and embraced Hiro. "Ill come by for dinner this weekend all right ?" When he nodded, she kissed his nose and proceeded to leave. As she passed Inuyasha, she said, "Get your ass in the car hanyou." He nodded dumbly, her low, harsh tone new to his ears. He followed close behind her, as if he were a dog on a leash.
------------------------------
Kagome drove in silence all the way to her house. She didn't know what to yell about first. Where should she start ? That he had used her ? That he had hurt her ? Again ? That he had no right to see her or Hiro anymore ? So many emotions jammed her brain, she could no longer think straight and gave up.
Inuyasha chanced a peak at Kagome. The whole car ride, he could feel her rage and the silence was beginning to scare him. He wanted to explain everything, but decided to wait until she spoke first. Having her blow up in the car wasn't the best idea.
But she never said a word.
When they reached the house, she simply gathered all his belongings she had packed beforehand, and threw them all out the door, along with him. She locked the door behind them.
Inuyasha sat on his ass, staring the door. 'What the fuck ?' Why didn't she say anything ? Was she going to come raging out with a knife, threatening to castrate him ? Hell, he'd take that, or her ranting into his sensitive ears than he silence.
CRASH
Inuyasha's eyes widened at the sound. Hearing Kagome's harsh scream, he broke down the door, desperate to save her. But nothing could have prepared him for what he saw.
Kagome stood, hurling everything against the wall. Lamps, books, chairs, even her mother's expensive china set. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she continued screaming, her heart shattered and her soul broken. Everything was wrong. She lost her family, her child, her friends, her love. It wouldn't have been so bad if he had never shown up. If he hadn't shown up and shown her anything different. He had teased her with hope, just to pull it back again, leaving her once again, in the dark. She screamed again, hurling the small side table into the TV. She'd get in trouble. She didn't care. Nothing mattered anymore. "Dammit . .'
"Kagome ?"
"Get the fuck away from me you bastard !!" she screamed. "I hate you !! I hate you so much I . .I just hate you !! Get the hell out of my house !! Get the fuck off of my property !! Don't fucking come near me or my son ever again !!"
Inuyasha's ears lay flat against his head and he whimpered. He wanted to reach out to her, to tell her everything would be all right. He hadn't meant to hurt her, but he did. Again. So he nodded, and after grabbing his bag, he went home.
Kagome passed out from emotional exhaustion right on her living room floor. Her last thought was, 'You son of a bitch . . I love you.'
----------------------
Inuyasha had called Miroku, Shippou, and Kouga, but none of them wanted to talk to him. Shippou had mumbled something about his mom needing him, and hung up. Kouga had simply stated, "Fuck off, mutt," before hanging up. But Miroku's answer was the worst.
"Moshi moshi."
"Hey Miroku, it's me, Inuyasha."
Silence.
"Miroku ? Hey Miroku, you there ?"
"You made her cry."
