What Happens In Vegas, Doesn't Stay In Vegas
Chapter Four- I do NOT love her, I think
"Fiancé of your boss, eh wench?" Miroku waved his hands back and forth behind Kagome as if saying 'don't InuYasha!' but he ignored him.
"So? What does it matter to you?" Kagome fumed. InuYasha leaned back on the bed.
"You do know the guy's cheating on you, right?" InuYasha replied matter-of-factly. Kagome blinked.
Everyone was quiet, and there was silence. InuYasha couldn't help but smirk, seeing the look on Kagome's face.
"How… how do you know?" Kagome asked. InuYasha rolled his eyes.
"Miroku told me." Kagome turned and looked at Miroku, who had an innocent smile on his face.
"Miroku… is this true?" Kagome asked. Miroku gulped and glared at InuYasha.
"Kagome… well…" Miroku paused at bit. "Yes…" Kagome took a deep breath.
Why are you so surprised? You knew it was true Kagome…
Kagome bit her lip, and headed out the room.
"Wait, Kagome." Miroku said. Kagome turned around as Miroku handed her a tip. She shook her head and pushed the money back.
"It's alright Miroku. Telling me was enough." Kagome said, putting up a fake smile, and walked out. "Enjoy your meal." She muttered, and closed the door. Miroku turned to InuYasha, who looked… guilty? Before Miroku could say anything, InuYasha was already out the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome sighed and walked down the hall of many rooms.
You knew it was true… why act so surprised?
Kagome felt tears stings her eyes, but she held them back as something grabbed her shoulder. She turned around, and her eyes met with a silver haired hanyou again.
"What do you want? Haven't you hurt me enough?" Kagome spat. She nudged her shoulder away, only to have InuYasha grab her wrist.
"Why don't we start over?"
Silence.
"Huh?"
"Lunch tomorrow? I'm sorry about Koga." InuYasha sputtered out. "I was just… uh… yeah." He let go of Kagome's hand and a light shade of pink came across his face. Kagome just stared at him, until the words were imbedded in her mind.
"Sure…" Kagome replied. "Lunch tomorrow. I'd like that." She forced out her best smile, but it looked like a sad, sarcastic, fake one. "It's alright about Koga." She lied. InuYasha turned to face her again.
"It's not a date or anything!" He shouted. "I just feel bad for you! That's all!" Kagome nodded.
"Sure, InuYasha."
"Don't go getting the wrong idea!" He accused.
"I'm not."
"I have a girlfri—fiancée already!"
"I know."
"So it's not a date!"
"You've said that." She replied blatantly. InuYasha was silent after that.
Kami… I made a fool out of myself. Chikushou…
"Well… I have to carry on with my stuff." Kagome said, breaking the silence. "I'll see you tomorrow, InuYasha." Kagome said. InuYasha nodded.
"Alright. I'll see you at Monte Carlo?" Kagome nodded.
"Sure."
And that was the end of that… for the most part.
--------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha went back to his hotel room, and met with Miroku, who had a grin on his face.
"What?" InuYasha spat.
"Did I just hear you ask Kagome out on a date?" Miroku joked.
"It's not a date!"
"Sounds like one to me."
"It's not a date! I just… feel sorry for her. That's all."
"Whatever. Just eat your dinner. Your ramen's getting cold." InuYasha obeyed and quickly finished it in a gulp.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think InuYasha has a little crush on Kagome." Miroku joked. InuYasha blushed a slight bit and glared at him.
"I don't! I… She is… I mean… I… uh… I'm getting married for god's sake!" InuYasha spluttered out. Miroku just waved his hand and then walked into the bathroom to take a shower. InuYasha groaned as he fell back on his bed and stared at the painted ceiling.
Kikyo… Kagome…
Kagome… Kikyo…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a knock on the door. Kagome got up from her bed, wiping her tears away and then took a deep breath.
"Who is it?"
"Kagome?" Kagome heard Sango and Ayame on the other side and opened the door.
"Hey guys." Kagome greeted as they walked in.
"What's wrong Kagome?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah, Kagome. You're looking kind of down… everything alright?" Sango added. Kagome nodded her head.
"I'm fine."
"Koga was looking for you." Ayame stated. Kagome bit her lip and sighed.
"Tell him the wedding's off when you get the chance."
"NANI?" The two shouted at the same time.
"Why?" Sango asked.
"He's cheating on me." Kagome said. Ayame kept silent, but Sango shook her head.
"No way. Who told you?"
"InuYasha…"
"And you believed him?"
"Miroku agreed too, Sango."
"But…but…" Sango didn't know what to say. "You're kidding me…"
"I wish I was, Sango." Kagome whispered. Sango put up a scowl and then pulled Kagome out of the room and to the elevator. Ayame followed behind them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Miroku."
"Yeah?"
"Remind me again why I proposed to Kikyo."
"Because… because… she's your secretary?"
"No… I don't think that's it."
"Because she's the first girl that you've talked to?"
"… I don't think that's it…"
"Well… then I don't remember either."
"Damn it."
"Why? Aren't you supposed to know?"
"I thought I was supposed to… but…" There was a knock on the door and InuYasha sat up on his bed as Miroku went to get the door.
"Sango!" Miroku exclaimed happily.
"Miroku!" Sango yelled. "Who told you that Koga's cheating on Kagome?" Miroku backed away, and Sango walked in, still pulling Kagome.
"You're here again?" InuYasha asked. "Can't get enough of me, huh, Kagome?" He said with a smirk. Kagome twitched as Sango glared at Miroku.
"Sango… koishii… why are you so mad? You're not the one that's being cheated on…"
"Kagome's my best friend, and I want to make sure that the facts are right before I go and smack Koga." Ayame came in, and InuYasha looked at her for a quick moment.
"You'll have to catch him first, Sango. Remember how fast he runs?" Miroku reminded.
"I don't care. I'll get my cat to bite him."
"You mean Kirara? You still have that cat?" Miroku asked surprisingly. Sango rolled her eyes.
"Not the point, Miroku. Who told you that Koga was cheating on Kagome?"
"… Koga…" Miroku said hesitantly. Kagome bit her lip, and tried to stop the tears from falling, especially in front of InuYasha. InuYasha noticed that, though.
"Just cut all this crap, Sango." InuYasha spat. Sango glared at him.
"What are you talking about?"
"Can't you see that Kagome's hurt? If you're going to ask, ask when Kagome can't hear. You're making it worse, baka." InuYasha spat. Ayame stayed silent, until InuYasha continued. "Besides. You're asking the wrong person." Everyone looked at InuYasha.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked. InuYasha looked at Ayame again, who already walked out of the room.
"I mean… you should ask that friend of yours." InuYasha said. Miroku smacked his head, and Sango raised a brow. Kagome just stared blankly at him.
"You mean…"
"Ayame. Duh." InuYasha spat. "I don't think that you have another friend that I know of…" The two girls looked around, but didn't see Ayame. Kagome lowered her head, so her bangs covered over her eyes. She slowly walked out, leaving everyone. Sango turned to Miroku and InuYasha.
"I'll go and make sure she's alright." The two nodded as Sango left, closing the door. Miroku glared at InuYasha.
"That's the last time I tell you anything." InuYasha turned his head away.
"Keh. So you were just going to act like a dip shit and say nothing?"
"It's not our business here. We barely know Kagome… it wasn't our position to tell her that."
"Then who? Besides you, and the two wolves, no one else knows. She'll be damned if she found out any later!" InuYasha got up and walked to the door.
"I'm going out." He slammed the door shut. Everyone seemed to be leaving Miroku.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This… is not happening…
Kagome walked along the sidewalk, where everyone else was with their friends and having fun at night. A few guys looked at her, walking alone in Vegas. One of the guys walked up to her, and Kagome almost bumped into him.
"Sorry." Kagome said, and then walked to the side, but the guy blocked her. She went to the other side, and he blocked her again.
"What's your name?" The guy asked. Kagome ignored him, and tried to run away, but he grabbed her wrist. She turned around, and saw him pointing a gun at her. Kagome was about to scream, when a hand covered her mouth and pulled her away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kagome…" Sango said, knocking on her hotel room door. There was no reply. She put her ear against the wall, but she didn't hear anything either.
"Kagome…" She called out.
No reply.
"C'mon Kagome. Let me in… it's okay."
No reply.
"KAGOME!"
"You're going to wake up the whole floor." InuYasha said, walking up to her. Sango looked up.
"InuYasha… what are you doing here?" Sango asked.
"Making sure Kagome doesn't drown the hotel with tears." InuYasha replied. He knocked on the door.
"Kagome. Open up, or else I'll kick the door down!" Sango glared at him.
"You know Kagome's not going to fall for that. You're not allowed to destroy Venetian property."
"I don't care. Kagome… OPEN UP!"
"InuYasha… you can't kick the door down!" Sango said. InuYasha smirked at her.
"Wanna bet?" He backed up, and Sango backed away from the door.
"InuYasha… no!"
"Shut up, Sango." He went up to the wall, and smashed it with his foot. It made a hole in the middle of the door.
"Shit." InuYasha cursed.
"What?" Sango asked, walking up.
"My damn foot's stuck." InuYasha said, trying to pull it out. Sango laughed out loud, and InuYasha growled.
"Oh… my… this… I should… camera… Kikyo… laugh… haha…" Sango said in between her laughter. InuYasha sweat dropped.
"Kagome! Help me get my foot out!"
No reply.
"Kagome!"
No reply.
"I swear girls are no help in this stinking world." InuYasha said, pulling his foot. Sango sighed.
"That was a good laughter." She commented, and then went in back of InuYasha and helped pull.
"Glad you enjoyed it." He said sarcastically, and tried to pull again. After two pulls, his foot came out, but he lost balance, and then toppled over Sango. InuYasha sat up and rubbed his head.
"Damn… that was a bad fall…"
"Get… off…" Sango wheezed. InuYasha looked down, and immediately got off her stomach. InuYasha looked into the hole that he made, but saw an empty room.
"Kagome…" InuYasha turned around and looked at Sango, who was holding her stomach. "Kagome's not in there." Sango looked up.
"I guess that would explain why there was no reply when we called out her name…" InuYasha rolled his eyes and walked away. Sango trailed behind.
"Where're you going?" Sango asked.
"I'm following Kagome's scent. Get Miroku and go down to the lobby. She's not in this hotel." InuYasha ordered. Sango nodded and then went to the elevator, and down to Miroku's floor. InuYasha went to Kagome's window and then jumped out. Then, he walked in to the lobby.
