Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic
Chapter 6: Broken Rackets and Hearts
The battle field was cold and barren. The enemies stood facing each other, not a word spoken between them. They were assessing each others moves. Trying to interpret what battle plan they would use. Would they strike heavy, or bring on a surprise assault? Their weapons at the ready, they narrowed their eyes.
"Hit the fucking shuttle Kikyo!"
"InuYasha! You're throwing off my partner's balance!"
"Well she's taking too fucking long! I'm growing as old as you waiting for her to hit the damn thing!"
There was a faint thud and the shuttle was now lying just behind InuYasha, on his and Kagome's side of the court.
Kagome frowned.
"InuYasha, you've got to pay attention!" she scolded.
"Bu-bu-but they did that on purpose!" he retorted, as his opponents smirked.
"Well played Kikyo, we may win this after all" InuTaisho said praisingly.
The game raged on fiercely once InuYasha got his concentration back. Team Taisho and Team Yasha were even until Kagome scored an awesome shot that put her team in the lead. On InuTaisho's serve, he turned to Kikyo and nodded. They had something planned… InuYasha was intent on concentrating, and when InuTaisho tossed the shuttle up in the air he was fixated on it, until…
"InuYasha!" Kikyo shouted.
Without even thinking, InuYasha looked at Kikyo, and she suddenly ripped her blouse open, revealing her naked breasts. InuYasha froze. As much as he despised Kikyo, they were still nice breasts.
"InuYasha!" Kagome called to him. Her voice seemed to do nothing, and she lunged for the shuttle, sending it hurtling over the net and far out of bounds. She threw her racket on the ground, and it snapped.
"GAME OVER!" she bellowed as she stormed inside. Satisfied, Kikyo covered herself again. InuYasha came out of his daze.
"Huh…? What happened…? Where's Kagome?" InuYasha was utterly clueless…
He saw her nowhere on the court. He rushed inside to see Toutousai just coming out of the same daze he was in. Unlike InuYasha however, the old butler had drool trailing from the side of his mouth.
InuYasha grabbed the butler by his shoulders and shook him.
"Where'd Kagome go?"
Toutousai was still staring in the direction of Kikyo. Sesshoumaru, who was sitting at the bar, drinking his morning coffee, had taken no notice of Kikyo, since he too despised her and knew of InuTaisho and Kikyo's evil plan. He pointed towards the second lounge, and InuYasha ran off in that direction before he could even thank Sesshoumaru.
"Kagome? Kagome!" InuYasha shouted as he entered the room and saw Kagome sitting over by the window, playing the piano again. The tune was different this time however…It was almost angry music. As InuYasha got closer, Kagome began to play louder and louder. She wanted to drown him out.
"Kagome!" InuYasha said loudly. Still she played louder. InuYasha placed his hand softly on Kagome's and she abruptly stopped playing and tore her hand away from him as she rose out of her seat and started for the door. What she didn't know is, that Kikyo was standing right outside and would hear everything she was about to say…
"Kagome, please, just talk to me!"
"There's nothing to talk about! We lost! All because of you and your stupid…BOY BRAIN!"
"Kagome…What's wrong?"
"One word InuYasha! Boobs!"
"Where?"
"See? There's your problem! That's why we lost!"
"Is there another reason you're mad?"
"No, what could be worse that losing a silly game of badminton?" she yelled sarcastically.
"Kagome…I love you…"
"I wish you would stop friggin' saying that! Get it through your head InuYasha! I-DON'T-LOVE-YOU! I should have NEVER agreed to this charade!"
InuYasha's heart shattered.
He dropped his head the way anime characters do when they're sad.
"Then there's really no hope for me…or for us…"
InuYasha turned away from Kagome.
"InuYasha?" Kagome asked quietly, sensing she might have gone too far.
He gave no answer and simply left the room.
Kikyo, who had hidden behind one of the doors so InuYasha wouldn't see her, began to laugh to herself. She had to tell InuTaisho about this.
----------
"InuYasha!" the voice of InuTaisho came charging up the stairs.
The silver haired boy InuYasha had been in his room, lying on his bed sulking. When his father entered the room he rolled over to face away from him.
"Son you're pathetic! I can't believe you're still pining after this woman. After all these years! And you had the nerve to lie to me about your relationship with her!"
"Father…"
"I don't care how much you love her InuYasha, its clear to me that she doesn't feel the same way, therefore you marry Kikyo!"
With that InuTaisho left, slamming the door on his way.
-------
"Did you tell him sir?"
"Yes Kikyo I did…And he wasn't happy."
"He'll be happy with me in time."
"Yes, he will. But I have to send Kagome home. It will break InuYasha's heart twice over, but I have to do it."
"Oh sir, I'd much rather her be at the wedding. In fact, I want her to be my bridesmaid."
"Kikyo…be reasonable"
"Fine…I want her to be there to see InuYasha being handed to me…"

A/N: Sorry I've taken so long to update, and that this chapter isn't very long. My computer is stupid. The internet has been on the fritz, and I've only just gotten it working again, so I posted the three chapters I'd been working on while the internet went crazy.
