School has been such a bore, and I've never had any time to type teh chappie because of Ragnarok. Well, for one thing, RO is very, very addictive. xD From the last chapter, Inuyasha found Kikyo lip-locking with Naraku, while Kagome was spying on them. Meheh. Inuyasha slaps Kikyo and breaks up with her, thus ending up with a broken heart. How sad. Note the sarcasm please
Disclaimer: We all know that I don't own Inuyasha, so leave me the hell alone!
-----------------------------Ch. 11 Sorrowful endings, new beginnings-----------------------
The dim of night had kept many awake. Inuyasha, apparently, was one of those many. He was stretched out on his large, four-poster bed, with a soft blue blanket covered about him. It was about 1:00 am in Tokyo and mostly everyone in his mansion was asleep. The hanyou wore an over-sized black T-shirt with pajama bottoms and was reading a medium yellow covered book. On the front of the book, 'Love for Dummies' was clearly printed in ink. As he was reading, Inuyasha had kept a blank, expressionless face. It didn't take a genius to tell that he was still trying to recover from his emotional injury. Anyone who pissed him off during that stage would meet a frightful beating.
He flipped through the pages of the thick book, his eyes moving up and down as he skimmed through the pages. There was a lamp stand beside him, the only source of light that provided him light to read the book. After several more minutes, sleep had begun to cast upon the unwary eyes of the boy. Inuyasha's eyelids were flickering many times, begging for sleep. However, he ignored their protest and forced himself to stay awake and read the book. He was now on the last few pages of the book, this time actually reading it thoroughly. It described about getting heartbroken and how to cope with it. Also, it had told not to commit suicide no matter how broken your heart was, or do something that was drastic and utterly stupid. Inuyasha turned to the last page, giving some thought on the last sentence of the third paragraph:
'Do not reminisce about the past, but instead look into the future... Move on.'
"Move on…" He repeated in a sleep-like trance.
-----------------------------------
Kagome awoke cheerily, still joyful that her plan had gone splendidly well. Inuyasha was going to be hers soon, but getting that wish to come true would have to take some time. Time as in recovering Inuyasha time. She knew that people who were heartbroken needed their space for a while before moving on and finding new people to date. It was pretty much common knowledge for herself, since she had experienced it once when she was little.
Flashback:
An 11 year old girl was jumping rope with two of her friends. She had black, raven hair, which were tied neatly into two low pigtails. The little girl laughed merrily and continued to jump rope until she was exhausted. One of the two girls congratulated her with a smile, "Great job, Kagome! You've gotten a new jump roping record!" Then suddenly, the other girl gasped, "Oh my gosh, Kagome, look!" She pointed at a boy who was walking towards them.
Kagome blushed and dismissed the two girls with a wave of her hand, "It's just Mori... Go and play, you guys, shoo!" As soon as the girls left, Kagome confronted Morike, her 12 year old boyfriend. Mori ran a hand through his light brown hair, sighing very softly. He looked very nervous and as though he was about to hurl. "Kag... we need to talk." Kagome looked surprised, but nodded anyway, "Okay, sure." Mori made sure that no one around them was within earshot before looking back at Kagome again, "Look... We've been going out together for 1 year already. And see, there's this new girl in my class... and to be honest with you," He looked away from her, "I really like her, and I've been dating her for the past week."
"…"
The sudden news made Kagome stood stock still, her eyes widening in shock. Mori still looked away from her, not wanting to bear the sad expression on the young girl's face. "I'm very, very sorry Kagome, but I guess 1 year is too long for a couple our age, and that we should... you know... see other people." Kagome was still frozen, but she had enough energy to move her hand and slap Mori's face, "You... you... you lied to me. You've been telling me for the past week that you were tutoring your little cousin while you skipped every date I've arrange! You damn cheater! I hate you!" With a turn of her feet, Kagome ran off back into the school building, weeping until her eyes were as dry as dry can be. Mori tried to follow her, but failed as Kagome's friends were blocking his way, giving him cold, cruel glares.
Kagome sobbed bitterly in a stall in the girls' restroom, flushing the toilet occasionally to drown out her sobs. Her face was sore and red, and puffy because of excessive crying. A small knock came from outside the stall, with a calm voice following it, "Kagome... it's me, Sango. I heard what happened during recess in my lunch period. Its okay, Kag. Don't cry. Mori was an ass to begin with anyways. He shouldn't have any right to make you cry like this." Kagome ceased crying for a moment to give her reply, "But he cheated on me, Sango! He went out with a girl behind my back without me knowing! I'm pissed and sad because of it! Just leave me alone!" She choked out. Sango pressed her head to the stall and tried to soothe her, "Kagome, what's been done is done. He cheated on you, yes, but that gives you the opportunity to date new guys, move on with your love life."
The crying girl was still rebellious, "I don't want to right now! Can't you see I'm heartbroken! Hearts don't just repair in a flash. They take time to mend before opening to another relationship again! Now, please Sango, leave me be." Sango was about to respond, although she stopped, not wanting her friend to waste her voice on her. "Alright, Kagome. I'll go. But promise that you'll be all right tomorrow. It's heartbreaking for me to see you cry, and to see you sad and depressed. Just feel better, okay?" Without waiting for Kagome to respond, Sango went out of the girls' restroom and back into her daily schedule.
End Flashback
She smiled meekly at the memory, trying everyday to forget it, but to her dismay, memories wouldn't go away that easily. They stick to your minds like little tiny leeches. Kagome got dressed and rode went to school, still having a piece of dry toast wedged between her teeth.
As she arrived to school, she was greeted by a loud, long distance shout from Sango. "Hey Kagome, over here!" The pony-tailed girl waved wildly, signaling where she was. Kagome waved back and ran towards her, "Alright, I'm coming!" She halted at sighed, "What is it, Sango?" Sango was in a state of shock and awe, but was excited to speak at the same time, "Guess what! I heard yesterday that Inuyasha and Kikyo had broken up with each other, isn't that great!" Kagome chuckled weakly, "Yea, it is."
Sango quit smiling and frowned at Kagome, "You're not happy about this aren't you?" Kagome shook her head and waved her hands nervously, "No, not at all!" Sango raised an eyebrow and stared directly into Kagome's eyes, "Kag, I've known you since Kindergarten, I know when you lie when I see it. Now, really, what's wrong?" Kagome sighed uneasily, "Well... I was the one who broke them up." Sango became all giddy and shook Kagome in excitement, "Oh my god, Kagome, really!" Without getting her reply, she continued, "Your plan must've been really clever to pull off something as big as that. And even better is that you can now get Inuyasha to yourself!" Sango beamed happily and stopped shaking Kagome.
Kagome merely nodded and walked into the school building, having a merry Sango skipping after her.
---------------------------------
It was now a Saturday, one week after the Inuyasha-Kikyo break up. Kagome was surfing through the internet in her laptop, her legs kicking rhythmically on the bed. She had a set of earphones embedded in her ear, which were sending waves of classical music from the CD player. Her head bobbed sideways, and she silently hummed the peaceful tune.
Kagome thought that one week would be enough space to give Inuyasha, considering that he was a player and could recover from such events quite fast, despite the enormity of it. Another plan had formed in her mind the day before, one that would hopefully help her get Inuyasha. She was going to get Inuyasha to come on a blind date with her. How? At the time, she really didn't know. However, as soon as her eyes had focused on her laptop, it all became clear. Kagome remembered a day when Inuyasha had given his personal information to every girl in school during freshman year, personal information which included his email address. She rapidly scrambled through her drawer in search for the small scrap sheet of paper, throwing things that weren't part of her search onto her bed. "Where the hell is that paper!"
After much digging, success was shown brightly upon the girl's face. Kagome unfolded the paper and read the email address. She got back on her laptop and began typing a message to send to Inuyasha:
Dear Inuyasha,
You probably might not know me, or you might do. That…I won't tell you. Although of course, I'm asking you to go on a blind date with me. Next Saturday perhaps? I know that you're very much going to delete this email as soon as you read it, but think of it this way. I'm challenging you to go on a date with me. If you don't accept, it proves how much of a player you really are. So, if you were really known for your reputation, then you'd take your time to go on this intsy bitsy little date with me. Meet me at 7:00pm, at The Soda Bar. I've already got a table prepared just for us.
P.S.-- Bring your dancing shoes. You're gonna need them once we get there.
She nodded approvingly at her work before clicking 'Send' and leaving the laptop to do its stuff.
--------------------------------------
Inuyasha had just gotten back from football practice, his body from head to toe were drenched in hot sweat. He poured cold water upon himself and ran upstairs into his room.
First thing he did was instantly play on his laptop, typing this and that and clicking here and there. Not until 10 minutes later was when he checked his email. Inuyasha scanned through them, deleting spam and crappy letters from crazed fan girls. He then stopped at a certain one, one titled, 'Read this if you're gonna live up to your promise.', and of course, minding his pride, the egotistic hanyou opened the letter and began reading. By the end of the last sentence, he smirked widely, "Hah. Sure I'll go out with ya. Psh. This is gonna be a piece of cake... Another thing to improve my rep isn't something I'm gonna let pass me by." Inuyasha deleted the mail and marked his calendar for the 'eventful' day.
-------------------------------------
Both people had the same thought in their minds, 'This is gonna be fun.'
-------------------------------------
