Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co. (I put this in every chapter, so you can't sue me haha!)

Note: I know the song lyrics don't really fit, since it's a girl singing it to a guy. But…just pretend it's the other way around. Plus I used a few verses from the song "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne for this particular chapter.

Second-Chance23 – Yeah, I pretty much hate Inuyasha right now too haha. Well, I guess you'll hate him more later on. Thanks for your review and enjoy!

Unfaithful

Chapter 3: Unfaithful

Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?

The next day, I decided to do something nice for him again. I decided to go to his office and apologize to him, and tell him that I quit one of my jobs so I could spend more time with him. I knew this meant more work for Inuyasha, but I didn't want to throw away our marriage. After all, I loved him so much I couldn't stand the idea of living without him. "Hi Ayame, Inuyasha in there?"

"Mrs. Taisho!" I smiled at the name. It made me feel…I don't know exactly how to explain it. "I…thought he went out to lunch with you just a few minutes ago?" Ayame was Inuyasha's secretary. She knew everything and anything he was up to, even if the event was a month away. "You see," she lifted up his schedule and I leaned slightly over the desk to see it more clearly. "Tuesday 11:30 AM – Lunch with Kik…" She paused and cleared her throat. It was obvious she was getting uncomfortable. "Isn't your first name…Kagome?"

"He's having lunch with Kikyo?" I asked, not at all surprised since they know each other and are friends. After all, Kikyo was my sister, why would I care that she was having lunch with my husband?

"Well, she looked awfully like you." Ayame stated. "I'm sorry, I should have known." I shook my head and told the girl it was quite alright. Before leaving, I quickly scribbled down a short note and told her to give it to Inuyasha the next time she saw him. She nodded and went back to her work. I could feel her eyes on my back as I walked out of the office, she was worried about something. I had a feeling it had something to do with my marriage.

You were all the things I thought I knew
and I thought we could be

I returned home, and waited. It was the only thing I could do. I would apologize when he got home. And it would be over. Everything would be back to normal again. Surprisingly, time went by quickly and it was 4 o'clock already. "Kagome," I heard my name from the front door. I turned around and there he was.

"Hi, Inuyasha." I smiled and stood up from the couch. "Um, did you…"

"I got your note." He said. "Ayame told me you came looking for me." Suddenly, I didn't care about the note. For some odd reason, I wanted to know why he went to see Kikyo. How did he know she had come back? How did she know where to find him? Why? All these questions and all I wanted to do was ask them.

"Why were you with Kikyo today?" My question was blunt and out of the blue, and I could tell it caught him by surprise. I wasn't exactly too sure if he was in the middle of talking to me, but the question just seemed to slip out from the thoughts and through my mouth. "Hm?" I didn't want to sound so demanding, but I guess that's how it was.

"Well, she's your sister and a friend of mine. And I wanted to see if she was well." He explained, and for once he was actually very calm. Maybe he forgot about our argument. He probably isn't mad at me anymore.

"Are you still mad?"

"What would you do if I said yes?" I froze. I slowly turned towards him and I did something I'd never thought I'd do. I physically got down on my knees and begged him to stay. I begged him not to leave and I told him he was my everything. I told him that I needed him and I loved him with every fiber of my being.

"God dammit, Kagome! Get up!" I began crying again as I shook my head.

"Oh, Inuyasha. When did this happen? When did our marriage become so horrible? When did this happen to us? Inuyasha, I love you so much…" I was whimpering now. "I always thought we were happily married, Inuyasha."

You were everything, everything that I wanted…

"We were…" I heard him whisper. "Kagome, we can work this out, alright? Please, just get up. I'm sorry I made you feel this way. I take back everything I said. I am happy with you. I love you." I kneeled in front of me as he pulled me into a warm embrace. However, this one felt different. It didn't cheer me up like it used to. I only felt more sorrow as he crushed me to his body.

A few weeks later, I found that Inuyasha and I were arguing less and less. He would come home and he'd have a large bouquet of roses in his hands. Although I should have been thrilled, I felt like I was dying. But I would force a smile as he put the gift in my hands. He'd kiss me and then spend the rest of the night with me like we used to. But I found something different about him these days. As we sat there and watched a Korean drama called "Full House"…he sat on one end of the couch while I sat on the other. We weren't snuggled into each other's arms anymore. And I wondered if he really was happy with me.

Is our marriage really a burden to him?

I also found that this wasn't his fault. Well, not entirely. If I hadn't gotten those stupid part time jobs then maybe Inuyasha would still love me. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten into those horrible, heart-wrenching fights. We were both to blame, and I guess all I could do was try to work things out right now. "Inuyasha, if you're bored you can leave. Go out with Miroku or something." Inuyasha looked surprised at my offer but he agreed.

"You sure you're alright by yourself?"

"I'm sick Inuyasha, not disabled." He nodded and kissed my cheek before leaving. "Inuyasha, will you call if you're not going to be home for dinner?"

"Yeah. And if you need anything call me." I nodded without turning my head to face him. I heard the door close behind him and I let out a sigh. Usually, when I suggest that he'd leave to go hang out with Miroku, he would say no and tell me he wanted to spend time with me. I guess our fights changed things. I shouldn't have said the things I said. I felt lonely and Sango was probably going to go out with Miroku and Inuyasha since she was considered one of the guys…I figured I'd call Kikyo. I reached for the phone but jumped when it rang.

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it...
all the memories so close to me just fade away.

"Moshi moshi? Taisho residence, Kagome speaking."

"Hey Kagome." I frowned at the voice on the other line.

"Sango, did Inuyasha call your house?"

"No, why?"

"I told him to go out with you and Miroku tonight."

"Funny. We didn't get a call from him yet. But we probably will soon," she paused and there was shifting on her side of the line. "Um…I found out about…the fights." I sighed again.

"Yeah. But we're working to fix things."

"Oh, Kagome…I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? You didn't do anything."

"Well, Kagome. If Inuyasha's gonna call soon, I'm gonna have to hang up. I'll call you back tomorrow morning, okay?" We said our goodbyes and hung up. I decided not to stay locked up in the house all night so I decided to go visit Kikyo. I searched for the address she had written down for me that day at the grocery store, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I threw it out by accident. I still remembered it though; hopefully I remembered the right one. I arrived at an apartment building and recognized Kikyo's car.

I got out of the car and walked up the stairs to level C. Her apartment was C12. When I arrived at her apartment, I knocked. However, the door opened and I realized she didn't close the door properly. "Kikyo, you forgot to close the…" I think I was going to have a heart attack. "…Door." I finished. What I saw practically shattered my heart and destroyed my soul. I watched in horror as my sister stood there, her arms wrapped around a man's waist. She panicked, as she knew I saw her kiss him.

Kikyo was with Inuyasha.

All this time you were pretending,
so much for my happy ending.

Author's Note: AHH! Inuyasha cheated on Kagome with KIKYO. Well, this shouldn't have been a surprise. I gave away the fact that he cheated in the summary. Anyway, please review and stay tuned for the next chapter (which will be coming up VERY soon).

Thanks so much!
