Chapter Two: Slipping Away No Longer

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome was standing in the middle of the bedroom, glaring at Inuyasha. "You slept with Koga?" she demanded. She recieved only a nod. She clenched her eyes shut tightly, keeping the tears from falling. "Y...you...bas..bastard!" she choked, storming into her closet and quickly packing.

"Kagome, please stop! We can work this out! It was a one time thing!" Inuyasha cried, trying desperately to get her attention. "WHAT?" Koga shouted. He glared at Inuyasha. "You told me that you were going to dump her for me!" he said. Koga and Inuyasha started arging very loudly. When they were done it was an hour later and all of Kagome's things were safely loaded in her black jeep with skateboarding logos all over it. Kagome squared her shoulders. "It doesn't matter now. I'm leaving you Inuyasha, and once I go out that door I will never be back here unless something of mine is over here that I forgot. I just want you to know that you are the biggest jerk I know and I hate you." she growled, slamming the front door behind her.

She ran from the apartment building into the pouring rain. Kagome's cheeks were tear stained and covered in black smudges. She jumped in her car and started it up. Imeadately a whole bunch of sad lyrics hit her. 'Sick Cycle Carousel' by 'Life House', 'Kryptonite' by '3 Doors Down' and 'The Middle' by 'Jimmy Eat World'. Kagome drove quickly and much too fast for the conditions over to her best friend's place. Kagome jumped out when she stopped in front of the small apartment building and locked the car because it was a crappy neighborhood. She ran to 8H, her friend Sango's unit. Kagome knocked on it lightly so her friend would come to the door.

The upset woman moved back onto the sidewalk under open skies and away from the over-hang. She threw her head back, letting the cold rain drops run through her raven black tresses and down her face, mingle with her tears. Kagome was completely soaked after a few moments, but Sango had still not come to the door. Kagome threw her arms out and started twirling around, then fell back into the wet grass, staring up at the stars as she used to do when her life was warm, safe and comfy. But that had been before she was fifteen. Now, five years later, her world that she had worked so hard to build back up from then, was now ready to come cascading down from it's high place and shatter into a million sharp pieces. Kagome was seriously considering just giving up and letting the remains of her life lay where they fell. "Kagome? Is that you? What are you doing in the grass?" Sango asked, her cheerful face appearing above her friend. Her brown hair spilled down to her lower back and her light brown eyes were compassionate.

"Yeah, it's me. Sango, he cheated on me. Cheated on me with another man." Kagome said, her voice cracking. She dissolved into tears and her best friend from birth whom had been through it all with Kagome, the good, the bad, the sane and the insane, dropped to her knees and threw her arms around her friend's neck. "No Kagome. Stay here with me. You can't slip away like you did last time. I need you!" Sango cried, tears pouring from her eyes as she squeezed her tightly.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open. The sun hit her chocolate eyes through the blinds. She shifted on the couch of Sango's apartment. Kagome yawned and sat up, stretching. She went to take a quick shower and she got ready. Kagome pulled on black spandex shorts that went to her knees, a neon pink mini-skirt, a black tank top, a sweater that tied under her bosom that was short sleeved that also happened to be neon, but it was neon yellow. She pulled on black and pink striped stockings and tied up her yellow converse. She pulled her hair into a high pony tail and did her make up. Kagome put on black, pink and yellow rubber bracelets on both wrists and put many bejeweled rings on her fingers. She tied a black ribbon around her neck and straightened her messenger bag with the large collection of snappy and sassy pins.

Her things stood in the corner of the room until Sango got her guest bedroom clean enough for Kagome to stay in. Kagome poured herself a cup of coffee and waited until Sango got up, which was shortly. "Hiya Sango. I just wanted to let you know I'm boarding to work today, alright? Thanks for worrying about me too!" Kagome said, smiling. She opened the door and the morning light flooded in, silouetteing her figure as she waved.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome arrived at work late as usual and boarded into the building. She arrived at Miroku's office and knocked on the door. "Come in!" he yelled irratably.

She smiled and opened the door. "Hehe...sorry I'm late, Miroku. I uh...had some...problems last night. I'm staying with my friend until I find a new apartment. Is there anything you need me to do?" she asked. Miroku sighed and loosened his tie. "Kagome, I'm dying in here. Get the AC turned up so it's actually cold, then I need you to come back here so I can brief you on the party you will be putting together for me." he said.

Kagome returned shortly after and found Inuyasha talking to Miroku. She froze when she saw him. He turned to her. "Kagome, please-" he started. He was cut off by Kagome throwing her skateboard at him. "You rat-bastard!" she yelled. "Kagome, please listen to me, I'm sorry it was a mistake!" he pleaded. "You ass hole! I don't believe that for a second! Son of a bitch, Inuyasha you think that you can fuck another GUY and then pretend it never happened so you can come back to me just for a good fuck? What kind of girl do you think I am? I'm not another slut you meet at a club or one of those hookers you pick up on the side of the road! I will be respected god-damned it!" she yelled.

Inuyasha winced at her screaming and grabbed her wrists. "You mother fucker, let go of me!" she yelled. Inuyasha released her and Kagome grabbed her skateboard and started chasing him around the office, trying to hit him. "AH! Kagome, pplease, stop, can't we work this out!" he called, putting his hands above his head, sheilding it. Kagome whacked him. "NO! NO! NO! WE CANNOT EVER FRIGGEN WORK THIS OUT! YOU SLEPT WITH A GUY!" she screeched, hitting him after every word was spoken. Finally she collapsed, sobbing.

He knelt by her. "Kagome, it was an honest mistake. Please, it really didn't mean anything to me. I was just curious." he said softly. Kagome slapped him across the face so hard it left a red mark on his cheek and her hand stinging. The elevator doors binged open and Sesshomaru stepped out. Kagome scrambled to her feet and ran past him, accidently knocking into him. She ran into the elevator and pressed the ground floor.

She stood in the elevator, crying hysterically. Kagome got off in the lobby of her work building and dashed outside and over to the park. She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head in her arms.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshomaru exited the building and media immeadately swarmed him. He moved through them carefreely and headed towards the park where he saw Kagome headed to. He eventually lost the media and found Kagome weeping on a park bench. He sat down next to her. "May I inquire as to the reason you are sitting here crying istead of at work?" he asked, his tone sounding more harsh than he would have liked it to.

Kagome's body shook as she held in laughs. "I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I see that Inuyasha was into guys before?" she laughed, wiping her tears away. "Pardon?" Sesshomaru asked, his face blank with shock. She turned to him. "Yep. Your little brother likes other men. I caught him and his lover doing it in our bedroom!" Kagome cried, fumbling in her pocket for a tissue.

"You're not joking?" he asked in a monotone voice, regaining his composure. Kagome glared at him, then looked away, watching the group of little children playing soccer on a muddy field. For a long time she just sat there, then she answered. "No. No, I'm not joking Mr. Taisho. Inuyasha has finally decided that I wasn't good enough and he threw me out like trash. He says he wants me back, but that's only because he's too scared to admit to himself that he is actually in love with another man." she nearly whispered.

Sesshomaru could feel his heartstrings being tugged at. "I apologize on behalf of my brother. Listen Miss. Higurashi, life isn't always fair. Some people get dealt a good hand, others not so much, but there is a few good things in there. You have to forget about him." he adivsed. Kagome sprung to her feet. "Do not lecture me about whom gets dealt what Mr. Taisho. You have everything in the world you could possibly want. You have never been denied anything nor told 'no'. This is why your adisve is useless to someone like me whom was born to dirt poor parents and had to actually work. Yes, good points in my life would probably be the day that I die. Now if you'll excuse me Mr. Taisho, I do believe I need to go WORK." she snapped, storming off.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome stomped back to the office building and went into Miroku's office. He was running around, picking up papers, trying to get Inuyasha to calm down, answering the phone and trying to make his own appointments. Kagome strode in, pushed the men into chairs, answered the phone and started to clean, all at the same time. Miroku looked over at Inuyasha. "Boy, did you fuck up big time." was all he said.

Once the hectic settled Kagome set down the phone. Inuyasha had run out quite upset, not that she cared. She flopped into a chair. "Hey, you alright?" Miroku asked. "No, but I'm trying to pretend like I am. My plan was actually to bury myself in work and anything else I can possibly manage acting happy to those who love and care for me but secretly inside I will be dying. Now please Miroku, give me something to work on so I don't have to think about my problems." Kagome said in a dead serious voice.

Miroku cleared his throat. "Whatever you say. Anyhow Kagome, the record company wants to hold a formal in honor of The Tamas over at the Hilton. It is your job to see to it that everything is seen to down to the bathroom attendant and napkins. I also am giving you a raise seeing as you'll be attending this party and you need a dress. Also that you are currently homeless. Anyway, you should bring an escort to the party as well." Miroku said, handing her a thick file.

"Do I really have to have a date? Why can't I just go solo? I don't want to." she grumbled, but taking the file anyways. Miroku smiled. He knew that Kagome would be the perfect person to intrust this assignment to. "Well, you can get started on it tommorow morning. Wear business type things Kagome, none of your teeny bopper clothing any more unless your just doing errands, babysitting or office work. You can have the rest of the day off to go shopping and find yourself some where to live. Have a good night." he smiled. "Thanks Miroku!" Kagome beamed, collecting her things and heading for the door.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome arrived at Sango's. "Hello? I'm home!" she called cheerfully. Sango smiled from the couch. "Hey Kags. You're home early. What's the occasion?" she inquired. "Miroku gave me the rest of the day off! He said that I should go find a new place with the raise he gave me! Come on, you'll help me look, right?" Kagome asked. Sango nodded and jumped off the couch and turned it off, sliding her shoes on.

The two best friends got into Kagome's jeep and they drove around, looking for a place. Soon Kagome found a very nice place in a safe neighborhood and closer to her job than her previous place. It was three bedrooms, a kitchen, 2 1/2 baths, a living room and a breakfast nook. There was also a balcony. The carpet was shaggy tan and the walls were white. Kagome loved it. "This is my new apartment." she breathed.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It was late that night when Sango and Kagome returned to Kagome's new place after going shopping for clothes seeing as Kagome had a large walk in closet. They had gone out for dinner and had gone to Ikea to purchase some cheap but essentail living things. Like a bed. And a television. Sango helped Kagome lug her bags upstairs and the rest of her things. Kagome hugged her best friend goodnight and she left.

Kagome set up her things and took a shower before going to bed.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The next morning Kagome woke and showered. She pulled on a pinstriped mini skirt with fishnet tights. She pulled on a black cammi and slid her feet into tall black stilettos that buckled around her ankles with a single silver buckle. She pulled her hair up into a bun and did her make-up. Then she pulled on a red leather boustieyay with a silver zipper going up the front. The creamy leather molded to her torso. Kagome pulled on a black blazer and painted her nails red. She grabbed her bag and grabbed her keys. She locked her place up and set out for the short walk to work.

She arrived and went to Miroku's office. Kagome knocked politely. "Come in!" he called. Kagome entered and his jaw dropped. "What the hell are you wearing?" he screeched. Kagome looked at her skirt. She picked at it. "What? Is pinstipe bad for me? I told Sango that it was, but she didn't seem to agree with me." Kagome said. "NOT THAT! That red thing that you have on! What the hell are you? A domanatrix?" he cried, jumping up to his feet. "Uhh...no? This is what I got for my business stuff. Problem?" she asked innocently.

"No...no...none at all. Just get to work on that party." Miroku said weakly, slumping in his chair and promptly banging his head on the desk. Kagome giggled and left. She set to work, determined to throw the best party that her company had ever seen.
