Catch Her With A Net

A/N: Gomen, I know that was longer than two weeks, but hey! I'm half way done with both chapters 19 and 20 so the story'll be finished by the end of next week. I was gonna make this the last chapter . . but it just didn't turn out that way.

Chapter 18 Insecurities


Kagome rolled out from beneath the red comforter and trudged intot he bathroom to brush her teeth.

"Mmm . . baby whatcha doing ?" asked a half asleep Inuyasha.

Kagome ignored him, not fond of spitting toothpaste everywhere. Wrapping his arms around her tiny waist, Inuyasha nuzzled her neck, gently licking and nipping.

Kagome leaned forward to spit and rinse her mouth, intentionally rubbing up against his hardening length. Moaning against her neck, Inuyasha spun her around and kissed her deeply. He hoisted her onto the counter and she wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing his boxer-clad body right up agisnt her. She bucked, drawing an agonized moan from her lover.

He pulled back and looked deep into her eyes. Lost in the vast blue, he murmured, "Kami woman, what are you doing to me ?"

"Whatever you want me to do."

Inuyasha stared. "I've turned you into a nympho havent I?"

"Only with you," she giggled.

"It better only be me!" he said, indignant.

"Of course baka." She rolled her eyes. "You just ruined the moment for me."

"Why, because the thought of only having me for the rest of your life turns you off ?"

Kagome looked at him, shocked. "Where the hell did that come from ?"

When he didn't answer, Kagome pushed him back and hopped off of the counter. She looked hard at him, his eyes, searching for . . for something. For him to laugh and say that he was joking, or even to just say sorry. But no. She sighed. "I'll take the bus to school. Hurry or you'll be late."


Kagome ignored Inuyasha at school, and instead of going to his apartment, hitched a ride home with Sango. She turned the volume on full blast, losing herself in the rhythm of Namie Amuro's "Come." After a couple of minutes, Sango turned it off.

"Okay spill."

"Spill what ?"

"Oh come off it already. I can understand you not telling Ayame when she asked, but this is me. Spill."

Kagome looked at her quizically. "Nani ? Nothing's wrong."

"Usoppachi."

Rolling her eyes, Kagome said, "Whatever Sango-chan."

She pulled over.

"Why are we stopping ?"

"Get out."

"Huh ?"

"Get out! If you're not going to treat me like your best friend then I won't treat you like one either!"

Kagome stared at her, shocked, but could see by her friend's unwavering glare that she was serious.

" . . Gomen."

"Nani ?"

"I said gomen! But kuso Sango-chan, you really know how to scare a girl, you know that ?"

Sango laughed. "Yeah but if you had really gotten out of the car like that, I really would be pissed at you. So what happened ?" she asked as she pulled back onto the road.

"Kami, I don't know . . We were making out and-"

"Ugh, spare me the details."

Kagome laughed. "Well he called me a nympho and I said only with him and he got all possessive on me so I said he ruined the mood. Then he goes 'why coz that thought of only having me for the rest of your life turns you off ?' Kono yaro! I wouldn't agree to marry his sorry ass if that were the case!"

"Then what happened ?"

"I asked him where that came from and he didn't answer me so I left."

"Kuso . ."

"Yeah I know."

Sango pulled into the shrine's driveway.

"Wanna come in ?"

"Sorry, I'm supposed to go meet Miroku," said Sango, blushing.

Kagome laughed. "So get going!"

She waved goodbye to her friend and went inside.

"Kagome!" her mother called from the kitchen. "Inuyasha called. He wants you to go see him!"

Kagome wandered intot he kitchen and took a cup out of the cabinet. "Hmph, that aho can come over here. It's his fault anyway."

Her mother leaned against the stove. "Now really dear, you can't act like that. You two are engaged! You have to meet each other half way."

Kagome looked at her mother, mouth open to argue, but nothing came out. She sighed, defeated. "You're right . . I'll go. Don't wait up for me."

Her mother smiled. "Of course not dear."


Speeding along the highway, Kagome turned the radio on. The music blared in her ears and the lyrics burned into her memory.

My Sweet Emotion

Kagome pulled into the parking lot, turning the radio off. She parallel parked on the side opposite of the bilding and got out of the car. She smoothed out her kahaki capris and black lace tanktop before strutting towards the building, her black stilleto heels clicking against the pavement.

She used her key instead of knocking, and slammed the coor shut, indicating her arrival.

"Oh Yashie-babe . . "

That voice. The voice that never ceased to grate her nerves. Kikyou.

The yound woman bounded out of Inuyasha's room, wearing nothing but the hanyou's baseball t shirt.

"Oh Kagome!" she said, feigning surprise. "What are you doing here ?"

"Where's Inuyasha ?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

"Oh, he just went to the store real quick. He said he wouldn't be long."

Kikyou sprawled out on Inuyasha's couch as if she were familiar with the surroundings. That didn't slip Kagome's attention.

"So Kikyou, why are you here ?"

The girl glared. "None of your business Higurashi. A woman's affairs in the bedroom are no one's business but her own."

Kagome barley resisted the urge to murder her on the spot. "What of the man ?"

"Oh well of course the man too."

"What about the woman ATTACHED to the man ?" she asked, fighting to keep her emotions in check.

Kikyou looked at her. "You mean you ? Don't be stupid Higurashi. Inuyasha told me that you two broke up."

"NANi !"

Just then, the front door opened and Inuyasha entered the room. "Hey Kikyou, I bought some - "

"What the hell is she doing here ?" raged Kagome, her heels threatening to pierce through the floor boards with her stomping.

Inuyasha's face broke into a genuine smile. "Kagome! You came!"

"Of course I did!" she snapped. "But what the hell is this ama doing here ?"

Unprepared and as tactless as ever, Inuyasha yelled right back. "I don't know!"

"Usopacchi! You knew she was here so there's gotta be a reason! And why the hell is she wearing your clothes ?"

"She's not . . Kikyou why the hell are you wearing me clothes ?"

"Well I didn't think it'd be proper to run around your apartment naked," she answered innocently.

"That didn't stop you last time."

Kagome gaped at him.

Inuyasha was still scowling at Kikyou when he noticed Kagome's reaction.

"Oh fuck . . Kagome I didn't mean . ."

Tugging off her ring, Kagome threw it at him. Hurling the door open, she looked back one last time. Tears of hot fury, pain, and utter disappointment rolled down her cheeks as she choked back a sob.

"Go fuck yourself Taisho. The wedding's off."
