Chapter 17: The interview
AN: OMG!! You guys are such wonderful people, so many reviews!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry if this chapter may be a bit short. I just realised that i haven't updated for a while and lately I haven't really been satisfied with my writing so I apologise if the story is a bit poor lately.
Hopefully, I get the next one up soon. It should be longer, better be...
Kagome slammed her hand down on the desk.
"I still can't believe you did this to me Hojo!" Kagome growled at him. "You knew about my relationship with Inuyasha, why did you have to make me interview him?"
Hojo signed. "How many times do I have to tell you this Kagome? It was Inuyasha's company who wanted us to give him an interview and anyway you are the host, I can't make anyone else do the interview because you are the only one I got."
"Well why can't find someone else?" She continued desperately.
"Because Kagome, Inuyasha specifically wanted YOU to interview him. Now get lost unless you want to help me with all this paper work."
Kagome eyed the massive pile on his deck and hastily retreated. "Why would he want me to interview him?' She questioned herself on her way out "What happened to Kikyo?"
Inuyasha sat beside Miroku as they drove to the town where the Love Struck show was aired. Inuyasha fingered the lavender bottle thinking about Kagome.
"Are you sure Kagome is going to be there, because if she isn't…" He started.
"Relax Inuyasha; don't you trust your Miroku?"
Inuyasha looked at him. "Ha ha, that better be a joke." He said dryly.
"So what are you going to do about her?" Miroku asked after a moment, the wind whipping through his hair as he drove. "You think she still hate you?"
"I don't believe I ever spoke to you about this."
"Come on Inuyasha, I already know what happened." Miroku grinned. "My new girl friend happens to be Kagome's very best friend!"
"When is she gonna become old?"
"Not his one." Miroku replied seriously. "She different, I mean really different."
"What? No boobs for you to grab?" Inuyasha smirked.
"Quite to opposite actually." Miroku grinned at him.
"You old disgusting pervert."
"So…" He said after a moment,seeming to be announcing something.
"What?" Miroku snapped knowing this wasn't gonna be good.
"You think we can stay down there for a while?"
Miroku stared at him in surprise. "Don't tell me you are still going for Kagome, what about Kikyo? I thought you guys were in love!"
"We were never in love! We are just close friends!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "Well...not from my point of view." He added.
"I think I owed it to Kagome, at least I have to see whether she is happy or not."
"I think she would be wonderful as long as you stay away from her." Miroku muttered.
"What the hell do you mean?" Inuyasha growled.
"Nothing Inuyasha, I am just presuming if she spent all this effort just to get away from you I don't think she will be too happy to see you again. Not to mention the fact that Kikyo is never going to let you go."
"Cut the crap Miroku, you don't know what you are talking about." Inuyasha looked off sullenly; he couldn't help admit that Miroku was right somehow.
They remained silent for the rest of the trip until they stop and got out of the car.
"Well, this is it." Miroku announced.
Inuyasha eyed the place. It wasn't too impressive, just a small building in a small place. He looked at Miroku questioning but Miroku only shrugged.
"As far as I know this place is quite popular."
"Popular my ass, Kagome better be here." Inuyasha muttered darkly and walked in with Miroku following behind him.
Kagome walked around the building carelessly. She was still trying to get over the fact that she will be seeing Inuyasha soon. After spending a year away from home just to avoid him she realised how much she was looking forward to his arrival.
She wondered what happened to Inuyasha during this year.
Is he still with Kikiyo? She questioned to herself.
Why should you care? Another voice popped in her head.
Does he think about me?
Well You certainly think about him, it gloated
Kagome frowned.
I don't feel for him anymore.
Stop lying to yourself Kagome, it's only painfully to suppress your feelings.
I am not lying she thought desperately, he only brings pain.
You must have you forgotten the happy times...
I don't know, I don't care. I don't want to think about it. Kagome shook her head trying to clear the voices.
Thats no going to help, he will be here soon...
She suddenly stop. I don't want to see him, at least not yet. She looked around eyeing the door way downstairs. I better get out of here.
Kagome rushed down the stairs hoping to reach her office before Inuyasha arrive. She was nearly there when she saw Inuyasha walked into the building.
Kagome skidded to a stop and stared at him her heart beat thudding in her ears.
She couldn't believe how much she missed him. A year had passed and never during those times had she experienced such turmoil inside herself.
They stared into each other's eye, a moment that felt like eternity. She stumbled down the stairs and tripped, the next moment she was in his arms.
His heart beat thudded against hers, the rhythm dance like never before and for once she felt safe in his embrace.
What am I doing? She her eyes snapped opened. No, I can't do this she thought desperately her heart breaking, not Inuyasha!
"Get off me." Kagome suddenly gasped pushing him away.
Inuyasha grabbed her. "No!" He cried forcefully. "I am not letting you go, not ever."
Kagome finally threw his hand off her and took a few steps back puffing.
"Get away from me." She seethed, her thoughts clouding with anger.
"How dare you Inuyasha! You never consider what others want or how they feel. You still have Kikyo Inuyasha; you have no right to be with me."
She glared at him. "You shouldn't have being here. Go back to your Kikyo and get out of my life!"
Kagome sobbed and fled to her room leaving Inuyasha in the hall way stunned and annoyed.
"Shit, shitshitshit!" He swore. "What have I done now?"
"What did I tell you…?" An annoying voice piped up.
"Shut up Miroku! Shut up!"
Inuyasha didn't see Kagome until moments before they were on stage. She walked passed him and onto stage smiling at the audience and the camera.
Inuyasha's eyes never left her, it followed her every movement like it was afraid to every lose sight of what it seeks.
"…and today we are honoured to have the famous Inuyasha here in this very stage. Please welcome him!"
Inuyasha started out of his pondering, on cue, he strode out to where Kagome was standing and held out his hand. Kagome took it, their eyes met for a brief second before she motioned for Inuyasha to sit down.
They waited for a brief moment until the applause died down.
Kagome shifted in her seat uncomfortable at how close she was sitting next to Inuyasha.
She began asking him questions and he replied just as morbidly. It was quite clear the tension between those two but the audience could not fathom at the reason why.
"…tell me about that girl you loved."
Inuyasha went silent, his eye shadowed. Kagome looked up frowning.
What the hell is he doing she thought.
"You know how they say that you don't know what you got until you lose it?" He started suddenly, his voice dead serious.
Everyone's attention was directed to him, his tone brought in an air of importance.
"I met that girl among fields of lavender. Even though it was a long time ago the memory is still vivid in my mind."
Kagome closed her eyes and tried to ignore his intoxicating voice.
"It was like a painting, the rolling hills of green and purple colliding and merging into the deep blue sky."
He took a deep breath in. "The air was filled with the beautiful perfume of lavender and it was there that I saw her."
"Wh-What did she look like?" Kagome continued hesitantly.
"She was like you ten years ago."
Kagome's heart sank. Oh crap, you stupid idiot! Now you've done it.
She signed.
"Stop it Inuyasha, you don't know what you are saying-"
"Yes I do, I love you Kagome. I have always-"
"SHUT UP!" She yelled jumping. "If you loved me you would have told me before I left, if you cared about me at all you would have told me about Kikyo and not SLEEP with her."
"I was going to tell you but you ran away and I did NOT sleep with Kikyo. She arrived at my door steps one day all the way from America. I owed her a lot Kagome, I could not just tell her to go."
"You owed her a lot." She repeated bitterly. "That's all the more reason why you shouldn't leave her."
"Kagome! What I have owed her in my life does not automatically commit my life to her nor does it have anything to do with a relationship!"
Kagome looked away.
Inuyasha glared at her annoyed at her stubborn attitude. He grabbed her suddenly and kissed her full on the lips starting both Kagome and the audience.
She tried to pull away but he would not let her. He was determined to convince her that his feelings were real.
Kagome looked at him uncertain of his intention. He kissed harder, as if he had felt her uncertainty.
Their hot lips pressed together tightly emotions raging in their minds as they each come to terms with what they are really doing.
Kagome signed inwardly knowing she was going to regret this, she couldn't help herself anymore.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back, her actions caused the audience to erupt into applause.
Damn, they both thought realizing where they are.
Oh what the heck…
Somewhere else two people was watching them on Tv, one jealously, the other annoyed...
Somehow, their relationship wasn't going to work without a fight...literally.

End
Unfortunately, happiness doesn't last long….
Thanks again for your review...
