---

The morning made it's presence known through the light beaming down onto Kagome's face from her open window. The A/C had become too cold for the woman and she opened her window slightly to let some heat in. Although it was a good idea at the time, she wasn't too happy with the sudden light intruding on her sleep. Rolling over, she landed beside her phone that had been charging on the bed beside her. She kept her eyes squinted to avoid too much light blinding her from the phone screen. She scrolled through her notifications only to find a few that were from facebooks and two missed texts that were from Muso and Shippo. Both texts were asking her what time did she expect them to be there and she told them both to come by around 1:00 pm. She figured she'd be up and running by then.

Speaking of the time, she looked up and saw that it was only 9:37 am. She set an alarm for noon and took her phone off of the charger before rolling back over and putting a pillow over her head. The cool sensation from the fluffy pillow greeted her face with open arms and in no time was she already lulling herself back into the depth of dreamland.

knock knock knock

A sound at her door had her awake in no time. She jumped up to see if the sound was coming from the front door or her own but as soon as she tried to crack open her own door to see, she was met with the unclothed chest of Inuyasha towering over her in nothing but a loosely tied towel. He took a step towards her warranting her to take a step back.

"Um...can I help you?" Kagome asked, confused as to why he'd been at her door so early in the morning when the two of them hadn't spoken throughout the week.

"You sure can love. Get undressed." He told her. His eyes were droopy and and his teeth were grazed against the top of his lip. The smell of mint crossed her nose as he spoke to her causing her to bring her eyes downward which didn't bother to help much either. His body was soaked in water droplet as his damp hair clung to his toned, muscular body. His veins looked like they were ready to pop on his biceps while his other head slowly rose through the towel.

"Uh, Inuyasha. I-I'm sorry but this is making me really uncomfortable. Can you leave please? I have to get dressed and I have friends coming over-EEE!"

He grabbed her by the bottom of her thighs and lifted her legs up around him. She, being afraid of heights, immediately clung to him wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

"Put me down Inuyasha!" She demanded but he shook his head.

"I already let you down once and it made me feel like shit. I don't ever wanna do that again. Not after all the hell you've been through already. I just wanna make you feel better."

Kagome was confused, frustrated, and upset all at once. Inuyasha randomly came to her room acting weirdly, he refused to leave, and he picked her up knowing she doesn't like heights. She heard what he was saying and felt that it was sweet but couldn't let go of the fact that she was in the air and she didn't want to fall.

"Okokokokok Inuyasha I forgive you now please let me down!"

He chuckled, the weight of his chest pressing against hers as he did so. "With pleasure love." He said, dropping her backwards onto her bed.

He climbed slowly over her tiger style, and kissed his way on up starting at her legs, moving upwards on her thighs, slithering his way up the middle of her stomach and inbetween her breast, and stopped at her neck. Kagome was frozen at this point. The hot flashes from him touching her hot spots were making her feel twisted inside, but couldn't get over him having some other woman in the same position just a week ago and him expecting her not to be upset.

She had her eyes closed while he had been kissing her up and soon as she opened her eyes, his lips were on hers and the thought of her pushing him off was slowly fading.

"Mmm. I'm so sorry baby I hurt you. I won't do it again I promise. Just love me." He said against her lips.

"Mhm." She sounded back while nodding against him. He was sucking on her lips and pressing down on her with so much passion that she could hardly remember how the two of them got in the bed.

Pushing that thought aside, she focused on his mouth kissing repeatedly against hers while his other head was making his presence known on the side of her right thigh. In the heat of the moment, he smacked the side of her exposed cheeks. She flinched a little but the pain turned to heat and the heat caused a moan to slip out against the half demon's now swollen lips. She would by lying to herself if she said she wasn't turned on but she would be a bigger liar if she said she still cared about waiting to lose her virginity because the emotions he had running through her body had her ready to risk it all.

His firm torso hovered over her just enough to press against her but not enough to sit all of his body weight on her. It was just enough to make her kick her legs up around him and for him to accept her with open arms as he massaged her ass in his hands.

"Mmm. Feeling a little bold now aren't we?" He said still refusing to pull off of her lips.

"Uh huh." Kagome said, incapable of pronouncing anything else other than sounds at the moment.

"You're such a good girl Kagome. I'm so lucky to have you under me right now. Submitting to me."

"Mhm. yeah." She kept on kissing him while he was talking so he wouldn't focus on her snaking hand reaching down for his member.

"You're so cute love. Keep moaning for daddy."

"Mhm. I will."

"OH shit!" She grabbed onto his dick. Hard.

He rocked himself back and forth in her hand as he finally lifted his mouth off of hers. The two stared into each other's eyes intently. Kagome could see lust in his eyes and could feel the want in his heartbeat and she was loving every minute of it.

"Oh. You're really gonna get it now." He said.

He wasn't the type to give in that easily, especially not over sex. He made his hand right at home in between her legs just as she did to him. The only good part was that unlike her, he was experienced and knew the right places to touch. All he had to do was slide his hand right in, and she jerked her hips up faster than a bullet.

"Aahh. Oh my god Inuyasha."

"You like that Kagome?"

"Mhm yes, yes I do."

"Good girl. Just keep pressing on me like that. Oh right there Kagome"

"Ok Inuyasha." She moaned out stroking him a little faster.

He began to moan out her name.

"..Kagome...Oh Kagome...Yes Kagome..."

"KAGOME WAKE YO ASS UP"

She flew up causing her ponytail holder to snap off and her hair to fly around in her face.

"Huh.. What?" She said, dazed and confused as she looked around her room. There in front of her stood her fox friend.

"Now bitch, you are so lucky it was me that came in here in the middle of your Inuyasha cum infested wet dreams."

That's when it hit her that she just had her first real wet dream about her roommate while her new boy toy friend was on his way over to help her move. She moved her hair out of shock filled face after realizing what happened.

"Oh shit I was talking in my dreams?"

Shippo nodded. "Yes you were honey. You need to get it together. I thought you said you were over him?"

"I am!" She raised her voice back at him.

"Clearly not. You over here getting dicked down in your dreams. I hope Inuyasha didn't hear your ass because he was the one that had to let me in."

"Oh I hope not...wait. How did you get in my room then?"

"I just told you he let me in. He has a key to all of these doors apparently."

"...That asshat had a key to my room this whole time and he didn't tell me? Fucking asshole man." She said under her breath.

Shippo shrugged his shoulder as he moved to sit at the bottom of her bed. "Yeah well I'm just saying if there aren't any strings attached, why didn't you just go in his room for a quickie?"

"I wasn't horny Shippo. Even if I was, I have a whole man now that's interested in me. I can get satisfied from him."

Shippo gave her a disgusted look. "So...instead of going to the big dick you've already sucked on, you're going to take a chance with someone that could have baby carrot for a penis Kagome? No way. Tell me what's really going on."

Instead of entertaining his actual question, Kagome took the conversation left.

"Would you stop talking about him like that?! I swear every time I even bring him up, it's like you have nothing good to say and the guy has been nothing but nice to me since I've met him! Goodness. If you don't have anything nice to say about him, just don't say anything at all!" She snapped at him.

Shippo looked around the room for a few moments before looking Kagome in her eyes. "You're talking to me? Kagome, girl don't be phoney because that's not fair. I like to keep things honest and you know it."

"Okay and Shippo?"

"You are being so phoney right now Kagome and I don't like it!"

"How am I being phoney?"

"Because I will sit around and talk shit to your face about Inuyasha all day long when he gets on your nerves but because Muso bought your ass some cake, now I can't say what I want about him? Inuyasha done held you down through some bullshit with that wolf demon but you have no problem going off on him when you doing the same thing that he did to you because if I go in his room and ask him who is Muso, what is he gonna say? Hmm?"

"What I do with anyone isn't his business-"

"Same for him! What he did with that girl was none of your business and you still got upset with him!"

"Because he lied!"

"No, you were upset that you weren't the only one and you were jealous. Be real with yourself Kagome if you aren't going to be real with me."

"See! You're defending Inuyasha again! You defend him more than you talk shit about him. I'm starting to think you're biased because he is your cousin!"

"Girl! No! I didn't even know Inuyasha was my cousin for years! He dated one of my best friends and when they broke up, that's when I found out we he wasn't just a friend of the family so I don't even see him as a cousin so you can't even pull that card missy."

"Whatever. I'm happy. Why can't you just let me be happy? This is the same stuff that Sango would do to me which is why we aren't friends now."

"Ok well, Sango has nothing to do with me M'am. I did not insult Muso at all. All I said was that he might be gay and his dick might be little. You're over reacting Kagome. I don't know where you got all this attitude from but you need to drop it off back where you left it."

"Kouga said that too. You're taking it to that level too now huh?"

Shippo looked up at the ceiling. "Kagome. Why do you keep comparing me to these people I don't care about. We are not talking about them. If you don't want me to speak on Muso no more, that's fine but say that instead of getting a whole attitude with me next time."

"Whatever Shippo."

"Damn. It's never that serious. I'm starting to think you started those arguments with Inuyasha too. The way you're popping off at me says a lot about what really might've happened between you two."

"Whatever Shippo."

Kagome was irritated to say the least so she decided to keep to herself and not say anything else back that might further the argument. Shippo decided to join Bankotsu in the living room away from Kagome so that both of them could cool off before Muso arrived. Kagome took this opportunity to get up and get herself ready for the long day ahead of her. She threw on some light blue jean shorts and a grey crop top hoodie with a pair of lowcut grey converse sneakers.

She saved all of her bathroom items for last considering she would use them everyday until it was time for her to move. She took a small plastic bag and dumped all of her body wash bottles, lotions, perfumes, and creams into the bag along with her concealed toothbrush and mouthwash. Although the towels Inuyasha gave her were cute and fluffy, Kagome decided not to take any since he was the one that bought them.

The door was wide open while kagome was putting her stuff away and just as she was finishing up, Inuyasha had walked by. His eyes glanced inside for only a second but he could tell that she was putting some stuff away. He didn't think much of it till after he fetched a water bottle from the fridge to see inside Kagome's room on his was back to his own quarters. Her Luggage was all lined up and her room looked more bare than the day they both moved in. He didn't suspect it before but he was certain there wasn't any other reason now. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. This caught Kagome's attention.

She turned around and saw him leaning against the door with his arms crossed. His facial expression was blank but she could tell something was bothering him. "Um...can I help you?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving today?"

"Well it's my business and I didn't have to tell you anything. This is your place and I don't pay for anything so my absence doesn't really affect you."

He rolled his eyes and looked down at the floor, breathing out a heavy sigh. "So. You're really going to treat me like this?"

"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" She asked, still focusing on putting the last remaining items away from her room.

"I apologized, and even spent the night with you and you're going to sit here and act like none of it happened?"

"Nothing happened Inuyasha."

"Really? So I wasn't in your bed last night Kagome?"

"Nope."

"You didn't touch my dick Kagome."

"Nope."

"I didn't have my hands in between your legs Kagome?"

"Nope."

"You didn't suck me off Kagome?"

"Nope."

"I didn't put the tip in before you told me to stop Kagome?"

"Nope."

"And you didn't rub yourself against me until you came either huh?"

"Nope."

"Ok Kagome. You're taking this path I see."

Inuyasha couldn't get the thought of last night out of his mind. He knew it would take at least a few more days before she could fully get over the argument they had but her telling him that she forgave him made him think that they could finally move past the situation and finally talk to each other. He found himself missing her conversation, her weird outbursts, and the way she looked at him whenever he gave her a boost of confidence. Not once did he think of her sexually until the night before.

He suspected her of talking to someone new especially considering how much she locked herself in her room just to be on the phone. When he came home Saturday night, she wasn't there. He had a phone call that stressed him out which led to him jumping in the bathroom to take himself a hot shower. After he took his shower, he could smell her scent outside the bathroom. He then peeped in her room afterwards and found that she was in a different set of clothes other than her pajamas. He didn't want to look like a creep so he closed the door back and knocked on it. She was still half asleep when she answered the door and he assumed that's why she answered at all but as soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but lift her into his arms and apologize a thousand times under the moon.

Her fear of heights was enough to wake her up and it was then that she could finally hear what he was saying to her. She began to cry and hug herself around him, apologizing for over reacting. He told her that she didn't need to apologize because everything was his fault. He explained to her that he wanted to start over as if Kouga and that girl never happened. The worst of it all for Inuyasha was that he even told her that he liked her although she was the ex of one of his ex-friends. That made her tear up even more and the night went on from there.

From the floor to the bed, Inuyasha knew she didn't want to lose her virginity just yet but he wanted to show her he could make it worth her while if she gave him the chance he badly wanted. The chance he didn't know how bad he wanted until the moment in time came where he wasn't allowed to speak to her. He thought he had been granted that chance till he stood in her room where she basically denied everything that had happened between them.

He was willing to forget that she had other men on the side, he was wiling to forget everything she said to him that day in his car, and he was willing to let go every female connection he had in campus. For her though it was enough. She just didn't care anymore and that stung him the most. He hadn't been so open in a while with a female and his brother had been pushing him to try harder this time with her and here she was shooting him in the chest. He understood that he deserved it after even entertaining the thought of sleeping with someone else just because he was upset and Kagome wasn't going to give up her virginity so easily. Unfortunately his thoughts were a little late this time around. His regret meant nothing to the girl in front of him.

'She's doing alll of this on purpose to hurt me probably...she led me on last night and now here she is leaving with someone else and denying me at the same time. The same thing I did to her but damn this hurts...did she feel this way? I really didn't even know she liked me that deep...damn I fucked up.'

"So are you just going to stand there?" She asked, finally looking his way.

"No...I'm just going to go. I understand I deserve all the shit you're putting me through so I won't even question or argue anything. Enjoy your new place." He said. The tone in his voice said it all. He was disappointed, upset, and just overall sad.

He wasn't expecting her to respond anything but a one letter word to him.

"So no you're going to make this seem like my fault and guilt trip me? We both knew this day was coming and boohoo it happened after you fucked me over. Not my problem." She retorted.

Inuyasha whirled his body around that had been ready to walk out of the door. "Kagome, don't do this right now. I'm admitting you were right and I was wrong and that I deserve the punishment okay so please don't turn this into something it's not."

"I'm not turning this into anything. You're the one that's trying to make me feel bad!"

"How Kagome?! How?!"

"Enjoy your new place! I deserve all the shit you're putting me through! Does not sound like someone trying to guilt trip somebody?"

"It's not a guilt trip it that's what you feel. Do you want me to tell you not to enjoy your new place? Do you want me to tell you I don't deserve the shit you're putting me through?"

"No, I want you to approach it differently and actually say it like you aren't trying to make me feel bad." She was in full defense mode with her hand on her hip and Inuyasha wasn't exactly sure why.

"I'm sorry Kagome! What else do you want from me? I already told you I will cut every single person off, I'll forget about that boy you're messing with and anything you want and it's clearly not enough or you don't care and that's fine! I will let it go, and find someone else and let you be happy! I want you to be happy! Why is that so hard for you to get?"

"I don't get why you're making this all about me when you're the one that fucked up! Now you wanna move on? Well go ahead. I don't care. I didn't know you for that long anyway. I'll live.

He put his hands up and turned around. "Okay Kagome. Whatever. Bye."

He opened the door to leave and standing outside in the hall was Muso who was preparing his fist to knock. Inuyasha shoulder bumped past him and returned to him room, slamming the door shut behind him. Muso took it upon himself to enter into Kagome's room who was angrily shoving everything else away into her bags.

"Um, you mind me asking what that was all about." He asked politely.

Kagome shook her head. "Don't worry about it. Just someone I'm trying to get rid of. That's why I'm glad I'm moving out. Don't worry. I didn't do anything serious with him. He was more so a friend than anything else but he is over and done with now so I don't really care. Plus I have someone sweet like you to talk to so I don't need his attitude anymore."

Muso took a few minutes to collect what she was saying because when he had been let in by Shippo, the conversation sounded a lot more different than one you'd have with someone that was just a friend. Not wanting to make her angry or show he didn't trust her, he let it go and took her word for what she had been telling him.

Soon after Muso arrived, Kagome was all packed and ready to go. Shippo had brought Bankotsu because of how strong he was and how many bags he could carry at once. Kagome's carried all her small tote bags on each shoulder while Bankotsu took the three biggest luggage cases, and Shippo and Muso split up the medium sized cases. Bankotsu and Muso's cars were parked right out front at the entrance for easy access. After loading up their cars, Shippo jumped into his boyfriend's car while Kagome shotgunned with Muso.

The dorm of coursse was back on Campus and wasn't too far from where Shippo had been staying with Bankotsu. This made it easy for the gay couple to lead the way to Kagome's new living arrangements. Both drivers quickly found spots in front of the brick building that couldn't have gone further than ten floors maximum. This building was one of the older houses on campus that had not been refurbished so unlike Kagome's other building, this one did not have a security system.

Kagome didn't have any luck with her floor placement considering how late she had been to getting her room changed. Her room was on the top tenth floor, room D. The men had all managed to get Kagome's bag into the building in one take but the elevator was small so they had to go up two people at a time. Kagome and Muso went up first so that Kagome could find her room while they were waiting for Shippo and Bankotsu to come up. After walking around the brick styled hall, she found that the rooms only went up to the letter H. There were four rooms to each side of the elevator. Kagome's room was to the right of the elevator beside room C and across from rooms G and H. She assumed rooms A,B,E, and F were on the other side of the elevator. It was a small thought that came and left just as quickly. She kept her key in the envelope not wanting to lose it. She took it out, and placed the key inside the rusted door knob and unlocked the door.

She held the door open for Muso to take her bags in and just as he sat them down, Shippo and Bankotsu exited the elevator. Shippo saw her standing in the hall and ushered bankotsu to the right. Shippo brought his share of the bags inside while Bankotsu took his time. Although he could carry the bags with easy strength, he didn't want to scratch them against anything and risk the material scratching or ripping in sensitive areas. As he slowly turned his body and stepped his way inside, a young woman stepped outside of room C. Bankotsu had finally had his entire body inside of the enclosed room leaving Kagome still holding her door open. The young woman saw her and immediately stopped in her tracks. Kagome noticed this when she went to close her door and saw the woman giving her the meanest mug she had ever received in her life. The woman then rolled her eyes and strutted down the hall in heels that were clearly too high for her to walk in without stumbling.

Kagome did her just like she did the rest of anything that bothered her mind that day. She brushed them to the side. After she closed her door, she took a look around to absorb her room in. The room luckily was a little bigger than the average dorm room. It was big enough to fit a full size bed in the right upper corner of the room with a night stand next to it. The desk and chair were on the left side of the room with her dresser being directly in front of her bed. The bathroom was to the left of her and was a little cramp sized but she didn't expect anything fancy. She was lucky enough to get a small shower instead of going to a shower room with other girls. It wasn't as luxurious as her first room nor as big as her second one, but she appreciated being in her own space without having to be bothered by anyone.

"Okay well, you guys can just sit my stuff in whatever corner and I will take care of it later but thanks a bunch you guys!" She said, giving each guy a hug.

When she tried to hug Shippo, he let her but her gave her a "we need to talk" type of face while the other two guys weren't looking. She played it off and kept a simple smile on her face.

"Well, I'm glad we could help darling. Bankotsu and I are gonna go and let you get all settled and such but don't hesitate to call me okay?" He said lightly touching her hand and grabbing his Boyfriend's to signal they were leaving. As soon as they were gone Kagome plopped onto her bed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Ugh. I have so much to do now that I don't even wanna think about it."

Muso smiled her way as he took a seat next to her. "Well how about this." He said, grabbing her hand. "Let's go find a nice place and get some lunch or something and you can tell me everything that's on your mind. Sound good?"

She chuckled lightly, nodding her head. "Yes, definitely."

Muso stood up and still holding Kagome's hand, he led her to the door and opened it for her allowing her to go through. Kagome locked the door behind them, and the two of them strolled their way back towards the elevator. As Kagome pressed the buttom, Muso began to feel around his pockets.

"Tsk, I think I left my keys in your room. Can I go back really quick and check?" He asked.

"Sure. Here's the key. I'll hold the elevator for you." She said, handing him the key while she waited for the elevator.

While Muso ran back to the room, the elevator dinged and before Kagome could walk in, someone was coming out. It just so happened to be the same young women that had been giving Kagome a mean look earlier on. This time, there was no brushing her to the side since she clearly was looking for trouble. She stood directly in front of Kagome and looked her in her face.

"Listen here bitch. Imma tell you this once so listen up. From here on out, stop talking to my man, stop texting him, stop calling him, and don't even fucking think about him at all now that we're at it-"

"Woahwoahwoah Woah. Hold the phone. Number 1, who are you talking to like that? Number 2, I don't even know your man lady. I don't even know you so what are you talking about?" Kagome said, putting one leg behind the other in a defensive stance.

"I'm talking to you whore! My man Inuyasha, I know you fucking know him you slut. I know me and him have our issues but he is my boyfriend no matter what and no matter what he pussy he touches so back the hell off before you make me do something I won't regret." She said crossing her arms.

"I don't have anything to do with him in the first place so you need to get your facts checked!"

"Don't lie whore just because your new man is down the hall. I'll tell him all about the sex you and my boyfriend did behind your ex's back so try me bitch!"

"Oh, fuck me! This is Kouga's doing? Is he kidding me? I did nothing with Inuyasha behind his back so stop letting that man tell you lies or wherever you're getting your information from!"

"Well you might wanna think twice before I have Kouga do something he's been waiting to do for a long time slut."

"Then tell him to do it then! I'm not fucking scared of him!" Kagome hollered at her. As she was screaming, Muso was coming down the hall and had heard only a portion of the conversation.

"Oh is this your new boyfriend? I'm sorry sir, your girlfriend is a whore and I have all the screenshots if you want them-"

Kagome mushed her face back onto elevator doors causing her to stumble back in her heels. When she caught her balance, she pushed Kagome backwards.

"Don't fucking touch me bitch!"

Kagome pushed her back. "I just did and you didn't do shit so stop making these false threats and telling Muso these lies!"

"I'll pull out my phone right now and show him everything!"

"I don't even know who you are so no you don't know anything!"

"You know what? I'm done. You're gonna regret fucking with me bitch!"

The woman stormed off and went back to her room while Muso stood there confused.

"Well...um...that was anti-climatic." He said trying to break the silence that had been left between that.

"Muso, I'm so sorry! I'm telling you I do not know that woman! I don't even know how she knows Kouga! I don't know what she knows or what I did! I-"

"Kayla! Chill, it's fine! I know. I think she might have had you mixed up with someone else."

"Yeah, but still she doesn't know me! Like why is she crazy! I just moved in here!"

"Kay, just leave it be. Don't let it ruin your day. You're away from the other place you hated, everything is fine. I'll even walk you back to make sure she doesn't mess with you anymore okay?"

"Yeah yeah but...I just wanna leave. Let's go."

Kagome appreciated that Muso didn't bother to listen to what the girl was saying about her. She finally had gotten rid of Inuyasha and could actually move on without any ties to Kouga. She felt that Muso was a step in the right direction and didn't want anything to mess that up for her.

---

Later that day, Inuyasha decided to stop by Hojo's bar for the umpteenth time that week. Since him and Kagome had gotten into it, and neither of them wanted to be the bigger person, Inuyasha made it a regular trip to grab a drink at the bar each night. Unfortunately this time around, it was a late Sunday evening and Hojo's bar normally closed early on Sundays. Inuyasha knew this but he also knew that Hojo wouldn't make him leave until the last possible second even after everyone was gone.

When Inuyasha arrived, there had been some type of celebration going on which brought in dozens of people standing around both inside and outside of the bar. It was a warm summer night so most of the women were either in tight dresses and skirts that couldn't fit them or shorts that left nothing to the imagination. He gave none of the people more attention than an observation and kept it moving. He had sent Hojo a text that he would be coming in and although Hojo never replied, upon walking in, he had saw a seat with the word "RESERVED" on it with two of his favorite drinks sitting in front of the chair.

All of the bar stools were filled up with a bunch of tipsy college students from the party so Inuyasha felt lucky to have a seat waiting on him. He sat down and down the first drink in a matter of seconds while Hojo was finishing up catering to the to other drunkards.

'Man do I feel like shit...' Inuyasha thought to himself.

As Hojo was working as fast as he could, the strong alcohol left a stinging, yet numbing sensation in the back of Inuyasha's throat. He was in a mood for drinking till he passed out but knew that wouldn't do him or anyone involved any good considering he lived alone and Hojo was the only person that would care enough to either call him an uber or take him home himself. He didn't have Miroku, Kagome was still upset with him, and Shippo was most likely getting his back blown out by Bankotsu. There was Sesshomaru but that's assuming Inuyasha would be sober enough to call and tell his older brother the situation.

"Listen here guys! I am not allowed to serve one person more than three drinks at a time and shots are included in that so either drink everything before ordering more or find another bar to go to!" Hojo said, hollering over the loud crowd of young adults that weren't paying him too much attention. He grabbed all of the empty glasses off the bar and placed them all onto his tray which he managed to balance all on one hand. He left the group with the rounds of drinks he made for them hoping they wouldn't ask for anymore until they were done.

"Hey there big guy. Sorry about all the commotion over there. Someone's birthday was today and they wanted to do something last minute or some shit like that and they've just been a pain in my ass since they've arrived. I serve drinks and they keep asking me for food when the food bar is clearly on the other side, I mean it's just a mess. Enough about me though. What's the trouble for today?" He asked, letting his hands go to work on cleaning out his bar glasses.

Inuyasha swirled his drink around in his hand. "Same old bullshit. I took your advice after I left last night and decided to apologize but it didn't go so well."

"What? She didn't accept it?" He asked, shocked.

Inuyasha shook his head. "Nope."

Hojo heaved a heavy sigh. At first he had high hopes for Inuyasha and his new woman but after hearing Inuyasha's side throughout the week, he wasn't feeling too confident about the two. One thing he was sure of was that Inuyasha would be even more traumatized from the experience.

"I'm sorry about that man. Don't worry about it too much aight? Drinks on me tonight."

"Yeah...thanks...I don't know Hojo. Maybe you can make some sense of what happened because I keep thinking about this shit, and it bothers me because although this is the shit I major in, I cannot figure out what the fuck happened and why it did. I can't get in her head...It's like there's a wall there now."

"Hmm. Well shoot me what you got. I'm all ears."

"I went home and showered, and then I knocked on her door. She answered half asleep, I picked her up and apologized. I even sweet talked her a bit. She was so welcoming and she had open arms. I even think she cried a little. We ended up doing...stuff. You know what I mean by that but long story short, I wake up this morning and go back to my room or whatever because I still wanted to give her room to fully take in everything and then there's a knock at the door. I go answer and it's Shippo. So I'm already confused as fuck but I don't think too much of it because her and Shippo have been getting really close since I introduced them. I go back to my room and a few minutes later...I start hearing shit...from both Kagome and Shippo. I couldn't hear too well because I have these noise canceling things on my wall so I can actually get some sleep at night but I could hear enough to know they were arguing. That was a first for me because Shippo normally gets along really well with his close friends. I don't pay that any mind either. A few more minutes go by and I decide to go get something to drink. I walk by the bathroom and Kagome is putting some of her shit in a bag but I don't pay that any mind. Now after I get my water, I walk back and catch a glimpse of her room...Hojo. Luggage everywhere."

His eyes widened and his hands stopped. "What? Get the fuck outta here. She moved out? After you guys...did that?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah. She did but Hojo I can tell you now that's not the worst part that has me so fucked up and confused. At this point, I'm a little hurt that she didn't tell me she was moving out because of course although I knew we were on bad terms all week, I have no problem helping her and what not and she knows this. I even drove her ass home after she ran away with my car keys. Like I said though, I let it go a little because we were on bad terms and that's probably why she didn't want to tell me. I go into her room, and shut the door behind me and on everything Hojo. She not only turns my words back around on me, she literally denies EVERYTHING that happened last night."

"Wow man. That's crazy. Everything though? Even down to the damn apology?"

"Mhm. Yeah. She says it was none of my business that she was moving out basically like it was none of her business who I was with that night she got mad. Continuing on though, she then goes as far to say I was guilt tripping her after I told her it's okay that she treated me that way, and then she got upset when I said I will move on eventually. I am so confused Hojo...Like this girl did a complete 360 in one week like how the fuck does that happen? How?"

Hojo sat down one of the glasses and put a finger to his chin. He didn't take much time to ponder. "Well considering you're the therapy person guy or whatever, it doesn't seem clear as day to you?"

Inuyasha shook his head.

"Inuyasha my guy. The girl is clearly hurt. She's hurt and she wants someone else to feel her pain. Period. Now do I agree? That's a different story but it just sounds like you might've triggered something in the girl and now she's out for blood."

Inuyasha's jaw dropped as he mentally slapped himself five times over. "Oh my gosh...why didn't I think of that? That makes a whole lot of sense but...what about the guy she moved onto already? Because his ass showed up like he didn't even know who I was? Why would she move on so quickly to him?"

Picking up one of his glasses, he shrugged. "I'on know. Maybe she wants the attention? She could want to make you jealous too? That's a thing people do."

"Fuck my life Hojo. I should've listened to Miroku and left all of this shit well alone..."

"Nah! Don't say that. Look, you helped her out and now she can move on and find someone that makes her happy. Even if it ain't with you, at least it's not with the manipulative bastard you told me about."

"Yeah I guess so...speaking of which, you remember that girl that came in here last week when I was here before I stormed out?"

"The one with too much makeup on? Yeah, what about her?"

"She's been stalking and harassing me. I have a bad feeling that Miroku or Kouga are telling her shit because she keeps contacting me on shit I've never told her about."

Hojo finished his set of glasses and organized them to the side. "What do you mean?"

"My name on facebook is not my name, and Kikyo and I have no mutual friends on facebook but for some reason, she tried to friend me anyway. Then she found me on some of those messaging apps I have. The ones where you need a persons specific add code to add them. Miroku and the other guys are the only ones I let add me and yet Kikyo found me through that too. Every time I block her number, she gets a new one and calls me. The shit is getting ridiculous and I'm this close to getting a restraining order."

"Why is she so interested in you all of a sudden? She was the one that messed with Kouga after she couldn't get through to you right?"

"Exactly! That's why I'm so confused as to why she's so obsessed with me right now! Like she keeps trying to seduce me and ask me all these personal questions and it's unnerving as hell. It's bothering me because she's a female and if I even try anything to defend myself, then I'm the bad guy because i'm this big bad dog demon and she is a helpless human female but I'm so close to getting my hands dirty with this one."

Once Inuyasha finished his sentence, he took another sip of his other drink. He then looked up at Hojo who had given him a smirk. This wasn't any smirk, it was his signature smirk when he was ready to make a bargain with someone.

"What? Why you looking at me like that?" Inuyasha asked.

Hojo leaned forward over the counter. "Well my guy, I'll tell you this. Don't worry about her. Give me her name, age, and picture, and I'll have some info for you that you can use to put a stop to all of this. That is...if you're willing to let me do what I gotta do?"

Inuyasha didn't hesitate to answer. "Any other time Hojo, I would question you but because i've had it up to here with this bitch, do what you gotta do. Don't hurt her or anything like that but I'll send you what you need if you have something that will keep her far away from me for good."

"I got you." Hojo reassured his friend.

Inuyasha downed the rest of his drink. The two drinks didn't do much to him but his conversation with Hojo made him feel slightly better. He felt as if some of the weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He decided to ask for one more drink for the road before he'd leave. Hojo had no problem with the request and made the drink in less than a minute.

"Alright, here you are my guy. Enjoy while I kick the rest of these bastards out because they are all fucked up and it's time for the bar to close anyway. I gotta clean up after this so it'll give you some time to enjoy your drink. Remember these ones are on the house so don't tip me big bills this time." Hojo said.

Inuyasha smiled Hojo's way as the bartender walked away to kick the college students out. Inuyasha took a few sips out of the average sized glass before he felt his phone vibrate multiple times in sequence. He put his drink down and took his phone in confusion as to who could be texting him this rapidly.

---

She put the last shirt in her dresser before shutting the wooden material closed.

"Whoo. Finally. That's all of it I think." She said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She made a bargain deal with herself that she'd turn on the A/C only after she was done putting all of her stuff away.

The deal worked out in her favor since it only took her about two hours to have everything put away. It was a lot less time than it took her on the first day. She decided she would worry about organizing her desk later since most of her homework wasn't due till the end of the week. She had a small TV setup and some of her snacks were already on the bed for her to celebrate with. After her earlier outing with Muso, he had brought her some food and snacks to keep well adjusted to her new style of living.

As she sat down on her pink checkered blanket, her phone vibrated from the nightstand. She turned on the A/C beside her bed to get some air flowing before stretching her arm back to grab the cell phone. When the screen lit up, she could see that the messeage was from an unknown number. She lifted an eyebrow at the strange set of digits considering the only new people to have her number were the new men in her life. She swiped her phone open and clicked the text message. It was a media file so Kagome had to click to open it. The very first text sent was an actual sentence.

I told you bitch, don't talk to me man. He doesn't like you.

What followed after that text in the set of screenshots shocked her even more once she recognized the unsaved number in the woman's screenshots was Inuyasha's number. What she saw being sent from his texts stabbed her right in the chest.

Hey love, How are you

What do you want?

Are you finally tired of that loser girl

I didn't fuck that slut and you don't even know her so why are you bringing her up?

Sorry lol what if she likes you?

I don't fucking care

She had told him off that morning, ignored him all week, and cussed him out in his own car. She even had other guys to talk to but his words in the screenshot with the woman that lived next door to her hit her like a roller coaster on the first drop. She couldn't cry, and she couldn't scream. All she could do was sit in silence with an awful ache inside her chest. She felt that if she'd speak, she'd surely cry and she didn't want that. Instead she took the situation right back to the source. She still had his number in her phone and texted him back to back.

Kagome: You fucking bitch! Why would you say something like that behind me back! Fuck you Inuyasha! Fuck you and fuck Kouga and fuck everyone you associate with!

Kagome: I DID NOTHING TO YOU

Kagome: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME AFTER YOU FUCKING CAME AFTER ME

Kagome: I wish I never fucking met you Inuyasha

Kagome: Sango was right, but you know what...

Kagome: Fuck it, I don't even care no more. FUCK YOU! I HOPE SHIORI FOUND A BETTER FUCKING MAN THAT WHATEVER THE HELL YOU ARE! Fucking hoebag!

Kagome: Don't you EVER talk to me EVR AGAIN

Kagome: I fucking Trusted you! Why would you do this to me?

Kagome was in the middle of typing the next text as fast as her anger would let her but then Inuyasha's face popped up on the screen. She ignored his call and continued typing but as soon as she was about to send the text, his face popped up again. She was shaking rapidly, seething with rage and sadness. There were so many thoughts running through her mind at once that she didn't trust her ability to properly speak but after ten seconds of thought, she stood up and answered the call.

"Fuck you! Why the fuck are you calling me?!" She screamed at him.

"Kagome what-"

"Don't you fucking DARE call my name!"

"I'm sorry but please listen to me-"

"Why should I listen to you huh? So you can feed me more bullshit and then talk bullshit behind my back again!"

"Kagome I never said anything about you behind your back, please tell me what you're talking about!"

Inuyasha was still at the bar when he received Kagome's text. Hojo wasn't done putting everyone out so the noise level was still at the point where he needed to partially yell to be heard but Kagome's voice was making his voice reach a maximum above what he needed to at the bar. He still persisted and tried to get her to calm down but she continued to yell over him and accuse him of actions he had never heard of.

"Kagome, who told you these things because they're not true!"

"Why does is matter who told me?! Besides, I have fucking screenshots Inuyasha-"

"Okay good then. That means it was something digital and I'm not the type of person to delete shit so guess what sweetheart, I have screenshots too so tell me who the FUCK told you this stuff so I can send you actual fucking screenshots!"

"No Inuyasha! Fuck you! I have all the information I need because-"

"Was your name in any of it?!"

"What?!"

"I said was your fucking name in the screenshots?!"

"It doesn't matter because I know it was about me-"

"No you fucking don't. Someone planted some shit in your head, and you're already upset at me so whatever LIE they told you just added fuel to the fire!"

"Don't fucking tell me how I think because I didn't give a fuck about you all you day Inuyasha!"

"That's fine but clearly you still feel some type of way if you're this upset-"

"You were in my bed last night and now I see this shit! That's why I'm fucking pissed Inuyasha!" And that's where her voice broke but Inuyasha wasn't backing down this time.

"Oh? Now you want to admit something happened last night huh?"

"I'm fucking done with you Inuyasha! You will never see me again you fucking rat!" She yelled before she hung up the phone. She went into her settings and blocked his number and then put her phone on do not disturb. She didn't want to be bothered for the rest of the night.

Her chest was heavy from the argument and her eyes were a flooding river. She whimpered herself under the blanket and kicked her food and snacks onto the floor. The sound of her sniffles filled the room as she fought with herself to keep the emotions bottled in. Unfortunately she found herself fighting a battle that was never meant for her to win. Her lungs felt like they were taking in everything but oxygen causing her to heave in and out as heavy as a dying animal while her eyes were blinded by salted tears. She balled herself up wishing to call her mother but she couldn't bring herself to let her mom see her in such a state.

Especially when although she was on the phone blaming Inuyasha, she was inwardly blaming herself.

---

Monday came as normal for most of the college students on campus and then there was the group of boys that resided on the 19th floor of their residence. Naraku woke up earlier than everyone on most days since he didn't require as much sleep to function throughout his day. His natural ink black hair that came to the bottom of his back was tossed all of the place as if he had been rolling around all night. He wasn't much of a rough sleeper and could rely on himself to stay in one place all night while he slept. His hair texture on the other hand was so stringy that it didn't require much for his hair to be knocked out of place.

His Monday morning routine went as planned as far as him wearing his normal all black attire after a nice hot shower. From there, he'd brush his hair out, brush his teeth, and prep his face to put makeup on. This morning in particular was going all according to plan until he finished washing his face and applying primer. His bb cream, eyeshadow, and contour kit were on the sink as he left them but his eyeliner, and mascara were both missing. This had become a regular pattern since the day everyone moved back in and the sight of his expensive belongings disappearing was enough to drive him up a wall head first into the ceiling.

Normally he would fuss, let it go, and go buy some more makeup to replace the stolen belongings. This time was different. Naraku walked back into his room as calmly as he possibly could. He was never the type to yell or raise his voice but he was the type to throw a fist or two if necessary. He wasn't in the mood for any fist fights so he decided to take a different approach to the situation.

"It's gonna be all good Naraku. Everything is going to be fine..." He said, trailing off at the end of his sentence.

He grabbed one of the many plastic bags he had from purchasing makeup replacements and went back into the bathroom. He picked up every single lotion, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, and body wash he could find till he was satisfied. He then left from the dorm and towards the middle of the hall where the trash chute was located. He pulled open the door and dropped the bag inside. He took a moment to listen to the sound of the items tumbling down the metal passage. When he couldn't hear anything else, a side smile grew across his face. With his arms crossed, he headed back to the room.

"If my shit has to keep going missing without a trace, then I guess that's how it's going to be for everyone."

Naraku went back into the now bare bathroom, and decided to use his black eyeshadow to make up for his eyeliner and mascara being gone from his routine. He dabbed his porcelain white bb cream all over his face and smoothed it out with his fingers till he was happy. He grabbed his over the shoulder book bag and left out. He was sure he wouldn't hear the end of it later about the men's missing products but he wasn't too sure that he cared at all.

Later on that day, Naraku was in line for Starbucks at the school's food court when he received a text from Miroku.

Miroku: Hey, Kouga and I are on our way to the food court to grab something to eat. You wanna come with?

Naraku texted him back letting him know that he was already at the food court and in line for Starbucks. When it was was his turn to go, he ordered a black ice coffee with three shots of espresso in it. As he waited in front of the marble for his drink, he has seen both Kouga and Miroku enter the food court talking to one another but also looking around for him. He waved his arm in the air and Kouga was the first to notice him. He pointed to the pizza place to indicate that they would meet up with him once they got their food.

Naraku's drink was done first so he took it upon himself to find the three of them a table. He was lucky enough to spot and grab a high stool table. He scrolled through his phone and sipped on his bitter but addicting drink. About five minutes had passed before the two young men had their food and sat across from Naraku.

"Yeah, I heard he actually got caught doing it in the middle of class and no one knows what happened after he got put out." Miroku said to Kouga.

"That's fucking sick. Why would you masterbate in the middle of class? I swear these college idiots get stupider and stupider by the fucking day." Kouga responded back.

Naraku already had an idea why he was invited out for the first time in weeks with the two of them but he wasn't going to initiate the conversation. Confrontation was something he never struggled with but found that other than Inuyasha, most people were uncomfortable with confronting him. People would always beat around the bush or they would wait till a situation brought them together to discuss things and of course like the blunt person he was, he never had to struggle to get out what he had to say back to them. His words were never the kindest of words but he never stuttered.

"So Naraku," Miroku started. "I had something I wanted to ask you."

"Naraku hadn't been paying the two much attention and was still looking into his phone. "Do whatever you like."

"So when we woke up, a lot of our shit was missing. Did you happen to have someone over or?"

His put his phone down and crossed his hands in front of him. He stared up at the ceiling as if he was thinking about something. "Hmm...let's see. Did I? Did I have someone over?...Hmmm...Nope. Can't think of anything."

Kouga slammed his fist on the table. "Okay you know what, cut the shit Miroku. No one was fucking there but you, me, and him. We wake up, and our shit's gone? Who could have fucking broke in and only decided to take our shit in the bathroom when one of us had flat out money left on the counter?!"

The black eyed man put his hand over his heart pretending to be offended. "Oh that cuts me Kouga that you'd think that after weeks of my shit disappearing that I would wake up and throw all of your stuff away. It hurts. It really does."

"You're paying for my shit man."

"Excuse me?"

"I said you're fucking paying for it. Every last bit of it."

Naraku looked at him wide eyed, the first facial expression change he had since he had been awake that day. "You want me to replace your two dollar products? Well when I see my twenty dollar mascara and my twenty-four dollar eyeliner pop back up, then maybe I'll consider that."

Kouga began to growl under his breath and Miroku had to put a hand over his chest to keep him from leaping across the table. They were already drawing attention with their raised voices. He was feeling deja vu all over again from the Inuyasha situation.

"Look, he didn't even say he did it Kouga-"

"Who did it then Miroku?! Please tell me so I can get my shit back!" He shouted.

"Dude, lower your voice! I am right next to you!" He harshly whispered back but Kouga still wasn't seeing eye to eye with him on how to approach things.

"Right Kouga, who knows if I did it but I'll tell you this. When I found out where my makeup has been going, I'll give you a call about your bathroom products and maybe have some information for you. How does that sound?"

Without hesitation, Kouga picked up Naraku's drink and threw it at him but right on beat, Naraku smacked the already spilling cup to the side and it landed on the floor somewhere. His fist immediately followed but Miroku pushed Naraku's arm up, and shielded Kouga who is turn got out of his seat and tried to go around Miroku who was pushing his way towards Naraku to keep Kouga from swinging too hard. It was too late to not draw every single pair of eyes in the room as both Naraku and Kouga were both trying to get their hits in. Luckily for them, a staff member noticed the confrontation and assisted in holding Kouga back from Naraku. It appeared that none of the hits had connected from either side or so anyone thought. A small lump began to swell on the side of Kouga's head most likely from one of Naraku's hits that came after Miroku shielded him.

Naraku was quickly over the fight as fast as it started and didn't bother to scream back at Kouga who was still yelling offensive slurs at him.

"You fucking fag! You shouldn't be wearing makeup anyway! Not our fault you're getting signs that you should stop wearing that shit!" He yelled over the dozen people that had been holding him back.

"Just go, I'll deal with him. We'll talk about it later-" Miroku tried to say to Naraku who was already walking away.

"No." He turned around, and walked backwards towards Miroku. "You guys will talk about it later. I don't care about this anymore. I'm done. You two were fucked up for doing what you did to Kagome and Inuyasha and now you're screwing with me but guess what? I'm not like Inuyasha or Kagome. I'll stay and I'll play all the game you two want to play and i'll bite your asses twice as hard every time so keep fucking with me and I'll expose BOTH of you two. I don't mind sucking dick for a living but you two do so stop whatever you're doing before this gets out of hand. Kay?"

"There is nothing to expose! Why do you and Inuyasha-"

"This has nothing to do with Inuyasha but Inuyasha still has the pictures from that night you fucking pulled that girl's panties down in front of everyone. You guys are scumbags that are never sorry until shit hits the fan but I'm not the one to let you come down from that fan when you hit it. Hit it with me and it will be the last fan you come across Miroku. I will ruin you both.

Miroku opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"Yeah because you know you're wrong! Inuyasha even told you that you were wrong and still stood by you and look what you did to him! I'm not going to keep excusing y'all two because clearly there is no loyalty here. You have a good day Miroku but watch your back and tell Kouga do the same because between the two of you, I don't know whose more of a flip flopping ass bitch."

He turned his back to Miroku and walked off, leaving the barking Kouga behind and Miroku frozen in place.

---

The next day comes and the campus news has already caught wind of the mild altercation in the middle of the food court. With social media around, events like fights and arguments are almost always likely to be captured. Sango sat up in her twin bed and went through her news feed as per usual and found that someone had posted the video of Miroku, Kouga, and Naraku. She instantly recognized them and clicked it. The cafeteria was loud from all of the commotion surrounding the argument so the audio quality wasn't that good but Kouga was still so loud, Sango could make out what he was saying. She knew Naraku was never a loud type of person which explained his hands and mouth moving but not being able to hear him.

As he called Naraku a faggot over and over again, Yura walked into the room in a lace see through night gown. Upon hearing the words come out of Kouga's mouth, she bucked her neck back in disgust.

"Who is that?" She asked.

"Kouga's loud mouth."

"Oh my gosh, him again? Why is he like this? First the party and now this? He clearly doesn't have any real friends." She stated

"Well Miroku is his friend so yeah, you're right. He doesn't have any real friends."

Yura walked to the bed and plopped herself next to Sango. She tried to put her arm around Sango's waist but Sango pushed her arm off of her.

"What's wrong?" Yura asked.

Sango shook her head, still consumed in her phone. "Nothing. I just don't want to be touched."

Yura gave her an agitated look before rolling over. Sango knew she would. This is how their mornings always were when Yura came over. Sango hardly ever went to visit Yura so Yura made it a habit to come see her as often as she could even if Sango wasn't home. Yura had no problem waiting up for her.

Sango loved Yura's clingyness but she just didn't love Yura. That's where the disconnect came for her. She tried to like Yura since she was everything the girl could ever ask for. She was supportive, clingy, submissive, playful, and loving. The sex was good, and Yura would never put herself first in bed. That was everything Miroku wasn't to her but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to like Yura.

That is why it tainted Sango inside to string Yura along. She knew she was wasting the girl's time but couldn't bring herself to let her go. She liked having someone by her side no matter what happens. The unconditional love was more than she could ever ask for. When she had first met Yura, she came off as a snobby, spiteful person who was known to snap at people but the more Sango got to know her, the real Yura was far from that. It panged her heart to know that she couldn't be that love Yura needed no matter how much she knew that was what Yura wanted.

Sango had become selfish since dating Miroku but who could blame her after what she allowed herself to go through with him. She even still slept around here and there when she had Yura waiting at her place. It wasn't intentional but not telling Yura at all was intentional. Sango cared enough to feel bad but she didn't care enough to let Yura go. That is until this morning when she planned to finally tell her.

"Yura."

"Yeah?" She answered back, still facing the wall away from Sango.

"I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" She asked, her stomach immediately sinking from Sango's words.

"I...I'm apologizing to Kagome today." Sango stated, taking a pause in between her words.

"Okay. Um, that's good I guess. What made you want to do that?" She asked, turning around in her spot.

"Well...I've been doing a lot of thinking and I just feel like I need to start fresh with my life and Kagome and I have always been good with each other until now. I want that to change but I can't be that friend Kagome needs until I fully get myself together...that means no more sleeping around with...Miroku...or messing around with you."

"What? Did you say Miroku?"

"...yeah. I did. I'm so sorry Yura. I know I'm wrong and you don't have to forgive me but please just-"

"Stop it, stop it, stop it now! Right got damn now!" She shot up from her bed and towered over Sango.

"You're telling me that this entire time it's been me and you, you've been messing with that slut? The one you always complain to me about? I fucking trusted you when you told me what Inuyasha said wasn't true!"

"Yura, I know I fucked up bad but that't why I'm telling you now because I don't want to string you along anymore! You don't deserve this and I don't deserve you!"

"But I deserved all of that shit until now? I have been asking you to be my girlfriend for so many days now and you always gave me bullshit as to why you couldn't saying Miroku hurt you but clearly he didn't hurt you enough that you're sitting on him when I'm not around! Why Sango! I fucking gave you everything! EVERYTHING!"

"I know Yura, but please-"

"No! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! Don't ever fucking talk to me again, I am done with you Sango!"

She threw on her jeans and grabbed her over night bag. She slammed the door almost off the hinges with her demon strength when she exited. Sango was left in silence but she didn't cry. All she could do was hang her head in shame. She knew the outcome and she knew how she would feel. Although she knew, there was nothing she could have done to prepare herself for it. She was on her own now and didn't even know if Kagome would accept her apology.

Later on towards the evening, Kagome had an english class to attend. Attendance wasn't a grade but homework was always due weekly in person. She'd been texting Muso when arrived. Muso had offered to walk her home after class which she gladly accepted but what she wasn't expecting was to see Sango leaning against the wall beside her class door. She pushed her phone in her pocket and attempted to walk by her but Sango reached out her hand and grabbed her by the arm.

"Kagome wait. I need to talk to you." She said.

Kagome wasn't in a bad mood and was hoping Sango didn't have anything negative to bring her way this time but she decided she'd hear her out.

"Make this quick. I have class in a few minutes."

Sango took a deep breath. "Okay. Okay... I'm sorry. I apologize and I am very very sorry for not driving you back home when you wanted to leave. I didn't know all of that would happen like it did but even though I didnt know, it doesn't excuse it at all for what I did. I should've put you first because I was the one that wanted you to come when you didn't want to at first. I just really wanted to say this to you because I've felt like this for a long time but I didn't know how to say it to you."

Kagome rested on her hip. "Uh...I wasn't expecting an apology but I do forgive you. It was Kouga that raged hell that night and it's not your fault. I did over react a bit to everything but I kinda was just going through a lot and I still do need some time but if you want, you are free to text me. I normally have my phone in my hand so..."

She looked at her with bright eyes. "So...we're cool?" She asked.

Kagome nodded, chuckling slightly. "Yeah, we're cool." She said, leaning down a little to hug her which Sango accepted with open arms.

Sango hugged her way more tight than she was expecting. "Woah there, you're choking a girl here." She said.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" She took a step back.

Kagome could do nothing but laugh at her. "It's okay Sango. I'll catch up with you later alright?"

"Yeah, see you soon."

And with that, Kagome went inside to find herself a seat.

Class went on as normal for her and when it was time for everyone to go, Kagome stepped out to find Muso waiting for her patiently on a small bench outside the classroom. He spotted her and got up from his seat. As if she had been expecting it, her hand slid in his as he approached her and the two chatted their way towards the dining hall. Not wanting to be around a bunch of people, Kagome decided she'd take her food to-go which Muso happily agreed to. Luckily enough for her, her new dorm hall was not far from the dining hall so the walk back wasn't that exciting or tiring.

The two of them had reached her building, and took the elevator up to her floor. When the ding sounded off, and the doors opened, standing in front of them was none other than the verbally abusive woman Kagome had met a few days ago wearing nothing but fish net dress and a bikini. When She caught sight of Kagome, she rolled her eyes and flipped her freshly cut hair back.

"Bitch, why don't you just disappear?" She snapped at Kagome.

Kagome in that moment was thinking of two different scenarios. She could hit the girl and get into a fight and have charges possibly pressed against her or she could walk away and sleep comfortably in her bed. After not giving the two choices much thought, she tried to slide past the girl only to be pushed against the wall. This is where Muso stepped in.

"Hey! Stop that! You need to back off woman! I don't know who you are or what your problem is-"

"My problem is, pussy boy, your BITCH keeps trying to take my MAN! I'm sorry she's not faithful to you but that's not my issues, keep your bitch off my man and we won't have any issues." The girl was twisting her neck and snapping her fingers as much as she could to get her point across. She was ready to rebuttal anything Muso had to say to her but instead, he whipped around on Kagome.

"Kayla, what is she talking about?" He asked her harshly. He was already peeved from the woman's words that he couldn't lower his tone when speaking to Kagome. Kagome opened her mouth to speak but she was once again beaten to the punch by the other woman.

"Oh really now? We're lying about our names now Kagome? So what's your real name? Kayla or Kagome bitch because only a WHORE would lie to a man about her own name! How dare you mess with my man and have the audacity to lie to him!"

"Listen here bitch!" She shoved Muso out of the way and powered her feet to her. She pushed her backwards into the brick wall just as hard as she had been pushed moments ago.

"I don't fucking want your man! I don't talk to him! Whatever he is telling you to keep the heat off of him is a lie so buzz off and leave me the hell alone before I call the cops!"

The girl laughed and pretended to wipe tears from her eyes. "Oh boo hoo. Kagome the whore is gonna call the cops on me. Go ahead whore. Do it and I'll expose you and Inuyasha and every fucking one else! You'll be the cover of the news and no one will ever wanna see your face again!" She stood her ground and got in Kagome's face.

"So what you gonna do Ka-go-me?"

"Stop calling me that! You don't even know me!"

Muso grabbed Kagome's arm and started dragging her towards the room. "Kayla, let's just go. Don't worry about her." He told her but Kagome was struggling against his hold.

"No, because she's just going to keep picking with me and I'm not going through this with some other girl! This going to stop right here."

"Whatever whore. When your face is plastered all over the school, don't say I didn't warn you. Keep coming after my man." The girl said as she walked into the elevator.

The doors closed and Kagome snatched her arm out of Muso's hand and stomped back to her room. She shoved the key into the hole and slammed the door open. Her nostrils were flared and her breathing was heavy. Muso on the other hand was confused.

"Kay, who is that girl and why does she keep coming after you? Is there something you're not telling me?" He asked her.

Kagome didn't respond. She walked past him to shut her door behind him before walking back to her dresser to change into her pajamas. She was ready to eat and dealing with the woman had eaten at her mind enough to make her not want to deal with Muso's feelings.

"So you're just not going to answer me? Was that girl telling the truth then Kagome?!"

She glared at him. "If you're really feeling some type of way from all of that, you can leave because I am not in the mood to deal with this right now."

"You're not even denying what I'm asking you!" He shouted at her.

"Because I just told you I am not in the mood for this right now. I'll talk to you later."

"Whatever Kayla. Don't expect me to wait for you because it's not happening."

He didn't spare her another second of his time. He turned on his heel and rushed himself out of her room, leaving Kagome in complete silence. She heaved a heavy sigh and coursed her fingers through her hair. She took out her phone and pressed Shippo's number. She tapped her foot on the ground as she listened to the murmur of the dial tone. He finally picked up after a few rings.

"Hey Kagome. What's up?" He answered with a gloomy tone in his voice.

She was ready to vent to him about everything that was going on in her head but as soon as his voice and words registered in her mind, she stopped herself. "Hey, oh nothing. What's wrong?" She asked him.

"Girl, Bankotsu is over here stressing me the hell out...we just got into it because he thought I was cheating on him or something like that. I've been trying to explain to him that I'm only talking to these guys to get them to talk to you so you can move on and be happy but he doesn't believe me. He thinks I've developed this straight man fetish like come on..."

Shippo was normally an energetic person, always loud, proud, ready to party, and ready to fight. It was rare to hear him sound calm, drained, tired, or even depressed. Kagome and Shippo's friendship started off in the most absurd way but Kagome found herself appreciating his friendship more and more as the days went by. He always talked about Bankotsu so Kagome could tell he was into the guy. Hearing how upset Shippo sounded over a small petty argument made her see even more how Shippo truly felt about Bankotsu.

"Tell me about it. I'm sorry to hear all of that. I just finished getting rid of Muso temporarily because he thinks I'm sleeping with Inuyasha...Hey, you wanna come over? I mean, since we both have stuff going on, it can be just us and we can get over our feelings together." Kagome offered.

"Yeah, I guess that sounds nice. I'll be over soon girl. Bye."

Shippo would always get rides from Bankotsu but decided to leave his boyfriend alone for the night since the two of them weren't on the best of terms. He took the fifteen minute walk to Kagome's place and knocked gently on her door. He was already in a long sleeved green shirt with his comfy black leggings. He didn't need to shower but brought all the over night essentials just in case anything happened. When Kagome answered the door, she was a white tank top, and a pair of stretchy board shorts. She looked up at him and saw his eyes were slightly puffy. He didn't need to tell her that he'd been crying on the way there because she could tell. Instead of bringing it up, she put her hand on his back and helped him into her room.

She had taken time to put extra blankets and pillows on her bed to make it extra comfortable for them. Shippo sat his bag down beside the bed as he took a seat and crissed-crossed his legs. Kagome did the same, grabbing the bags of snack from under her nightstand. She handed him some plain potato chips while she took out a bag of skittles and sode bottles for the both of them.

"Kagome, I don't know. I'm just really over it at this point. I do so much for that man and it seems like he always thinks I'm cheating on him." Shippo blurted out to start the conversation. Kagome made sure to give him her full attention.

"Why would he even think that? You talk about him all the time." She said and Shippo shrugged.

"I don't know. I ask myself the same things and I can't figure it out but he has always been like this and I thought he would get better because we were a new couple and stuff but he seems to think because of how we met that I would do that with somebody else."

"Well you were single then when you met him and you had your heart partially broken."

He nodded as he opened his chips. "Yeah but he thinks that when I storm out after our fights that I'm fucking somebody because I'm sad. No, I leave because I'm trying not cuss you all the way out and hurt your feelings or say something I might regret later."

Kagome looked down into her lap, just listening to him as he spoke. "Yeah I get why he would mad that I leave after we argue and stuff but to think that I'm out here throwing the booty at random guys just because I'm mad is so...it's so...insulting Kagome." He began to weep, and the tears shot down onto his cheeks.

"Because it's coming from him. It hurts my feelings so bad...like it really hurts me because I am used to being everyone's little secret and to think that he thinks I'm this hoe after all he has done for me, it fucks me up inside because I treat a lot of people very rudely everyday. I'll admit that but I treat him like a king but it's...i-it's not enough for him. Like what do I have to do Kagome, what do I have to do?" He bawled his eyes out into his hands as his body shook from crying.

She reached out to him and pulled his head into her chest. She rubbed up and down his back gently as he cried onto her shirt. "Shh. It's gonna be okay, alright? Just let it out. It's okay to cry Shippo." She whispered to him.

She wasn't entirely too sure what to say to him but she hoped her company was enough to soothe his sadness. She understood where he was coming from and it almost brought her to tears too. She had grind her lips together to keep the tears at bay. If there was one thing she knew what to do, she knew she had to keep it together and be strong enough to bear some of his pain with him.

"I just *sniff* don't want us to breakup."

"I know...I know. It's gonna be okay." Kagome consoled him.

'Hmmm. What would Shippo say to me if I was sad? Maybe that'll help? Deosn't hurt to try I guess.' She thought to herself momentarily before deciding to take a different approach.

"It's alright Shippo. I'm always around you and I know you're not a hoe-bitch. I-i'm the hoe bitch I guess if anything."

Still sniffling, he lifted his head up from her chest, and wiped his eyes. "We know that Kagome. Doesn't help that he's being a dick about all of this...hold on." As Shippo was talking, he saw his phone light up from on top of his bag. He reached down and grabbed it only to see a long paragraph from Bankotsu on the screen.

"Girl. Now he messaging me. I don't even know if I wanna read it because he's probably gonna do the usual apology and date night bullshit but I'm just over it honestly."

She uncrossed her legs and slung them over the bed. "Come on Shippo. At least hear him out. Ooh! Let's read it and we both can choose what you can say back that way if he isn't as apologetic as he seems, we can make it look like you're really going to leave him. That way he's on edge, you get a real apology, and you guys can move forward. He may cry a bit but hey, that's a risk i'm willing to take."

He squinted his eyes at her. "...You's a messy bitch...but I'm here for it so let's read it."

Baby: Hey love. I know you're tired of hearing this but I'm really sorry. I over reacted over stupid shit and I should've thought about what I wanted to say before I said it. I really miss you and I want you to come back home. I don't care if you've been with another man, I just want you here with me. I love you so much. Please come home.

Shippo snapped his neck to the side. "Um, what type of backhanded ass apology was that? What kind of 'I don't care care if you've been with another man, I just want you to come home' type of bullshit is that? Girl, I can't"

Kagome took the phone. "Lemme see. Maybe we should tell him that you can't take the accusations anymore and you're leaving him." She looked up at him to see him still squinting at her.

"Okay but...what is that doesn't work? Then imma be single!"

"Well won't you be single either way?"

He opened and closed his mouth after taking in what she said. "Fine," He agreed. "But you're getting me a new boo if this doesn't work."

Kagome waved him off with the utter most confidence in her facial expression. If it was one thing she knew she could do when it came to men, it was piss them off, all the way off, blasting off again into the next dimension type of pissed off. She had managed to get under the skin of every guy she came into contact wit on campus so she was sure she could get a reaction out of Bankotsu.

So she began typing.

You really don't get it do you? Fuck your apology because I don't accept it. I don't accept it because you don't mean it. You knew what I was when you met me. Single. That was it. My character when I am single does not always reflect what I'll be when someone is serious with me. I can't speak for everyone else because I am not those people so I wish you would stop using other people to justify how you feel about me. I am shippo, I am the baddest bitch you will ever find, meet, or date. There will be no other like me. Which is why I'm gonna take a step back from the man that I thought loved me and take some time to get back to work on loving myself because dealing with you isn't cutting it. Either you gonna treat me right, or I will make my exit because you have me fucked all the way up sir, I have NEVER cheated on you and you fucking know that! We're demons damn it! You know when sex happens, the smell doesn't just go away? If I was getting dicked down when I'm away from you, wouldn't you be able to smell me? Exactly so shut the fuck up and get it right or get gone.

She passed him the phone once she was finished. She felt good channeling her inner Shippo but still felt as though the decision should be his to make. She glanced up at him to see he was smiling with his tongue out.

"Mmm. This is good! I like this. Yup. Imma send it. Fuck him! You are so right Kagome! I need to stop being a hypocrite and take my own advice! These men are for everybody so ain't no point in sticking around if they don't wanna get it together." He pressed the send button and thew the phone to other side of the bed, pretending to dust his hands off. Kagome could see that his eyes were no longer tear stained and had dried up.

"Okay so, that's that! Depending on his response will determine how extra I act when I see him tomorrow but it is what it is. Thank you girlie! I'm so happy I finally just have someone to go to about all of this because it's alot! I like being this new me but it gets exhausting sometimes ya know? Like people expect me to always be energetic and happy and when I'm not, they always take it the wrong way but they don't even know who I used to be Kagome."

She nodded. "Yeah, I guess but I don't know who you used to be either."

"I know that but you a new friend. Back in the day, when Shiori was my best friend or whatever, I used to be that calm and cool friend. The subtle pushover, not very stern. I had opinions and stuff still like I do now but I wasn't as harsh or loud or fun. I was a stick in the mud if you ask me but I always had energy to spare because I never did much with myself and now that I have evolved, people don't treat me the same as before."

She picked up her bag of skittles and poured some into her mouth. "What do you mean?" She mumbled with a mouth full of candy.

"People always want me to take a chill pill but back in the day, people used to want me to be more outgoing and fun but now I'm labeled as this extra stereotypical gay bestfriend type of dude and it bothers me! I can be calm sometimes, it's just that when people see me, I'm not in the mood to be calm. I just want to be myself, ya know? I can be calm around you but that's not how everyone else feels."

"Well," She started. "Like you told me, fuck em. People will always have something to say regardless."

"Amen girl. Amen-mm! Oh shit, I forgot to ask you! Bitch what did you do to Muso? That man is so happy in class and you done went and made him mad! Girl!"

She cracked up and started laughing. "I don't know!...I'm lying. I do know. I got myself...uh. A little caught up. Just a little though."

His eyes drooped as he put together an internal analysis of her short sentence. "Bitch, you got caught didn't you? How! No one knows you here!"

"What do you mean caught? I am a single woman!"

"Yeah but you never told him anything about Inuyasha because you were doing stuff with Inuyasha when you met Muso."

"Well he doesn't know about Inuyasha but he does have an idea thanks to the bitch that lives next door to us. She knows me but I don't know her. Muso thinks my name is Kayla and she was cussing me out and calling me Kagome and it was just a mess. Supposedly she says Inuyasha is her man or whatever and she still think we mess around or something. I don't know. She's crazy but that's not even the worst part. Look at these." She pulled up the screenshot on the phone and showed Shippo.

He took an extremely harsh look at them after reading what it said. "Kagome, you sure this is Inuyasha? I mean that is his number but I don't know. This just seems fishy like this conversations don't even add up."

"Yes, I'm sure that's him. I don't know how she got my number though."

Shippo put a finger to his chin, speculating through his list of mutuals with Inuyasha. His sexual history was long but Inuyasha didn't get involved with too many women throughout college so far. After contemplating through the personalities, he placed his bets on one.

"Maybe this is Kikyo? You said she lives right next door?"

Kagome nodded her head, confirming that was true. "I don't know if that's her name though."

"Considering how crazy you told me this girl was, it has to be. That hoe slept with Kouga after she couldn't get Inuyasha. She called herself trying to make him jealous but her dumbass should've known it wouldn't work when she told him that she was texting Kouga and he didn't give a fuck. Inuyasha is an extremely jealous person when he likes a girl."

"Wait, I thought he wasn't possessive?"

Shippo shifted his hand back and forth. "Eh, he is but he isn't like you could be his woman and he'll want everyone to know that but at the same time, you can still go out with your girlfriends and even your guy friends and he won't try to hold you hostage. At the same time though, he might throw a tantrum or two because you're out giving people the attention he wants from you. He also might not talk to you if he sees you smiling at another guy. I think he got like this after the first girl he was with."

She rolled her eyes and fell back onto the bed. "That sounds exhausting."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I mean I guess but I don't think he is that bad. You just gotta give him a hug, maybe throw some pussy at him and you'll be fine. I think you could handle that."

"No, because I haven't even been thinking about that man. I cussed him out and blocked him after I saw that screenshot. Being away from him has helped me think about him less and less and I'm happy that I'm finally figuring things out which I why I want that bitch next door to leave me alone so I can leave Inuyasha in the past."

When Shippo didn't say anything back, she looked over to see him looking at her with judging eyes. "What?" She asked.

"Kagome...I'm going to be as honest as I can with you. I don't think you're being fair to Inuyasha."

She took that time to sit up and stare at him as if he'd fallen and bumped his head on several branches on the way down. "Fair? After all he did? I'm the one not being fair? You know what I went through with Kouga!"

"Yes Kagome I do and because of what you went through with Kouga, Inuyasha is reaping the repercussions. I don't think you gave Inuyasha a clean slate to work with and I think he deserved that. It's okay to learn from your mistakes but don't hold past grudges against a new person. Kouga dated you for three years and treated you like shit and you still gave him multiple chances. You didn't know Inuyasha, and after he helped you, you cut him off, went back to Kouga just to go back to Inuyasha just to cut him off AGAIN because he almost slept with a girl? Remind you he stopped himself because of you."

"Okay well how about this, no matter what he did for me or what I did to him, it doesn't make it right what he did!"

"It doesn't but all I'm saying is you fucked him over multiple times and he still let you come back and you can't at least give him one chance? This is literally his first fuck up."

Okay but-"

"And also," He cut her off. "Bankotsu and I heard a lot of commotion between you and Inuyasha Sunday morning. So are you going to explain to me what happened because he sounded really hurt Kagome."

Kagome was steaming so bad that she fully admitted to everything as fast as she could. "I don't give a damn how he feels! I fucked around with him, accepted his apology, just to act like nothing happened and leave his ass. That's why he was upset but I don't care. He didn't care when I first was questioning him about that girl!"

"This is what I'm talking about Kagome!" He yelled, getting in her face. "Girl, you are my friend which is why I'm telling you when you're wrong. You are taking out everything you didn't get a chance to do to Kouga on Inuyasha and that's not right! Inuyasha shouldn't have been with the girl but he owned up to it! Kouga was and is still the one denying everything! If you wanna be a hoe, be a hoe but leave Inuyasha out of this because he is already fucked up in the head mentally."

"Whatever Shippo." She said, turning away from him.

"I'm sorry for getting in your face but Kagome, I just really want the best for you two and I feel like if you aren't going to at least pursue him or let him pursue you, at least end it on good terms."

She sighed as she buried herself beneath the covers. "I'll think about it."

"Kagome...did you like him? Like I'm talking the like like type of like."

She hesitated before answering. "Yes..."

Shippo rubbed her leg lightly. "Aww, I know. It's okay. I just think you two need to have a talk and settle your differences or at least get some type of clarification of closure. I think the two of you would really benefit from that."

"I'll think about that too...Goodnight Shippo." She responded before going silent.

"Goodnight Kagome." Shippo said.

Before he climbed into bed with her, he reached over and grabbed his phone from beside her. He opened up the conversation between him and Bankotsu. It was another long paragraph of text.

Baby: I'm so sorry Shippo. Please don't leave me. You are my all, my sunshine, my happiness, and my life would be so empty without you. I don't want you to leave me but I want you to be happy :( please think about it though. I promise I won't accuse you anymore. I just need to get over my own insecurities. I know I need help but I really want to make us work. You are the love of my life and can't see myself with anyone else. You make me laugh whether I'm happy or sad. You're always sticking up for me. You always cook for me and tuck me into bed when you have to stay up late. You take such good care of me and I dont understand why I would ever ever accuse my lovely king of doing something so vile and nasty to me. Please forgive me baby. I love you.

Shippo tossed the phone again but this time onto the floor. "I'll deal with your ass in the morning.

---

"She really said that?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yeah, she did and I don't know why but it really struck a nerve in me Sesshomaru."

"A sad one or a mad one."

"A little bit of both but I'm not mad at her. I feel like I should be but at the same time, I feel like I shouldn't. It's really weird."

Inuyasha rubbed his hand across his face as he rested himself in his large king sized bed. The week had been harder than normal to get through due to all the inner stress Kagome had caused him. Eventually it all boiled over and he needed someone to talk to so he called his older brother who sounded tired but became energized as soon as he heard the sadness in his baby brother's voice.

"Well have you tried talking to her?"

"I would if I could but she isn't responding to any of my texts and my calls never go through. I'm starting to think she blocked my number."

"Do you know where she lives now?"

"Nope, she didn't tell me shit when she left. That also stung a little considering everything that happened but...I don't know. I think I just really upset her."

A sigh escaped from Sesshomaru's mouth. "I am sure there is someway you can get a hold of her because this doesn't sound like something that can be dealt with over the phone anyway. It's gone on for too long."

"Trust me. I know. It's just I don't want to invade her privacy ya know? She didn't give me her address, her room number, or anything so I don't know how I feel about finding out where she stays through someone else and showing up unannounced. It's just a bit much Sesshomaru."

"Well she isn't leaving you with any other choice so what else is there to do?"

"Respect her choices and leave her be. I can't force her to-"

"Inuyasha listen to me. and listen good," He cut Inuyasha off. "We are men. You are dealing with a straight woman. Women do not like obsessive men, they like clingy men. Women do not like rude men, they like stern men. For this case, since it relates to you, women do not like controlling men, they like men that can take charge. It's attractive to them seeing their man in charge and handling business. There is a difference between all of these features that a lot of men seem to mix up."

"Well you can't just speak for every woman Sesshomaru."

"I'm not. I'm just giving you a general run down of things that are commonly mistaken amongst the race of men. Men hold themselves back when they act on the actions women like and refuse to act on the actions do like. There are women out here that like to be chased. They'll never admit and they'll even take it to their graves but a little cat and mouse has never hurt anyone."

"Yeah but what if-"

"She turns you down or tells you to leave? Okay then. You know she wants you gone but at least you tried. You can't keep losing sleep over this Inuyasha. It's not good."

Inuyasha wouldn't admit it but he knew Sesshomaru was right about taking a chance. He had to at least try. He had gotten to know Kagome on semi-personal level and did not want to believe that the person who had treated him so coldly on Sunday was the same woman he caressed Saturday. The feelings just weren't the same.

"So, I also have something to tell you."

"Yeah, what is it?" He asked, Sesshomaru's words bringing him out of his thoughts.

"So I went to see that deadbeat dad of yours and come to find out, after a large verbal altercation that almost turned physical, he admitted to making a mistake on a business trip some months ago and now there is a baby on the way. The worst part is that the reason all of the family money between him and mom has been going towards paying the hussy hush money as well as hush gifts. He's been paying for her to spend weeks at luxurious resorts and everything, mean while our mother is doing her best to make ends meet and dealing with his sorry ass. She won't even let me help her but anyway, long story short, I told him he has until the end of the month to tell her and fix this, or I'm telling her. She doesn't deserve this."

"You're damn right she doesn't! What the hell is wrong with him? After everything mom has done for him?! I can't believe this man..." He said, throwing his arm over his eyes.

"I know but don't worry yourself over it. Just focus on school and your love life or whatever. I'm going to try and sort stuff out. The last thing I want is for them to know that you know and they try to put you in the middle of things because if that happens, then i'm going to flip the script on everyone and neither of them will like that so. Sleep tight brother, and I will speak to you soon enough."

"Yeah...Goodnight Sesshomaru." Inuyasha told him before hanging up the phone. He plugged the charger into his phone and sat it down on his bed. As he rolled over to get comfortable, he heard his phone buzz.

He peeked over and saw the blinking light, Curious as to who could be texting him that late on a Thursday night. He stretched his arm to pick his phone up, not wanting it to unplug from the charger. He swiped the screen open to see an unknown number text him. It took him a few minutes to recognize who the number belong to.

He opened the message to see a few words that made his veins tight.

Kouga: Hope Kagome isn't feeling like Shiori right now. Kikyo already told me how you're already fucking her over. Serves you right for acting all high and mighty. Karma is served.

"Oh yeah, definitely bitch. Karma will get served. Just you wait..." He said, not even wanting to respond to Kouga. He had it set in his mind that he would pay the wolf demon a visit shortly but he didn't want his situation with Kagome to be on his mind when he goes.

Surprising enough, just as he was about to sit his phone back down, it buzzed off in his hand. Expecting it to be a double text from Kouga, he opened it but instead was met with something astonishing.

Kagome: Hey, you up?

'What the fuck? Is she really texting me?' He thought to himself. In just a matter of seconds, his thoughts scattered all over the place. He hadn't heard from her in days and now here she was texting him as if nothing happened. That was something he wouldn't allow. He kept it as real as he possibly could.

Inuyasha: Why are you texting me?

He let his head fall into the pillow as he stared blankly at the bright screen, waiting for a reply. It came quick and his eyes scanned over it.

Kagome: No real reason. You were on my mind a lot tonight

Inuyasha: And? I don't exist to you anymore remember?

Inuyasha wasn't going to let her off the hook. He was willing to hold her feet to the fire if he had to. He didn't want to let another second go by that he had to deal with his mixed emotions about Kagome.

Kagome: I know. I just feel conflicted about everything because I want to like you but I feel like now just isn't the best time. There is too much going on.

Her words sat on his heart with the weight of a piano and stung him like static from a door knob after walking across carpet. Before he could reply, she double texted him.

Kagome: But at the same time, I already like you even though I don't want to. I'm just really confused about you. I don't know what you truly want from or what anyone wants for that matter.

Inuyasha: Kagome, I get it but you've been ignoring me. How can I tell you what I want and you refuse to talk to me.

Kagome: I shouldn't have texte you. Goodnight and goodbye Inuyasha

Inuyasha: Are you fucking kidding me right now?

Inuyasha's question was answered when he didn't receive a text back and his phone call went straight to voicemail.

He opened his facebook and typed in a status.

'That moment when you're already a broken individual and an interesting creature has snuck her way into your heart just to pull on it till it breaks into a trillion tiny pieces. #imtiredofit #Justwannabelovedisall'

He scratched his fingers through his messy, thick head of hair trying to find a calm within his storm. He was going insane over the two of them not being able to talk and he couldn't properly express why. This frustrated him more than anything but this time he had enough. With his phone still open, he unblocked a familiar number and sent a strongly worded text message.

Inuyasha: Listen here Kikyo. If you don't tell me where Kagome is, you and I are going to have an issue.

Kikyo: Oh now you want to text me. Too late. I've moved on. Go back to your whore.

Inuyasha: Shut the fuck up. I'll take you on your stupid date if you tell me where she is. Her and I got into it just now and I need to go get my stuff back from her. If you even want a chance with me, then tell me where she is.

And like the dumb non-blonded hair bimbo she was, she fell for the bait and sent him Kagome's address. He didn't feel comfortable with what he did but knew it was the only way he'd even come close to settling everything.

Friday had went by as a regular day for mostly everyone on campus. While few students prepared for their weekend classes, most were getting ready to go out and live their weekend up or get ready to do homework. While Inuyasha spent majority of his day in class and prepared to spend the rest at home, Kagome had other after class plans.

"Muso! Stop that! It tickles!" She managed to say while laughing as Muso poked her up and down on her stomach.

She had been on her back while muso rested his head on her stomach. She had been telling him a story about her younger brother when she felt his fingers attack her abdomen. She rolled from under his touch and landed her feet on the floor so that she could crawl away.

He made no attempt to chase her. Instead he adjusted himself on her bed and spread himself so that she had no space to fit in except on his frame. She noticed this, and tried to push his scrawny body across the bed but although his square body looked light, Kagome wasn't in as much shape as she wanted to which made moving his body at all harder than she thought it would be.

"Come on, you gotta try a little harder than that girl." He chuckled.

"Why the hell are you so heavy! You're tinier than I am."

He shrugged and turned onto his back still remaining in his same spot. "I don't know. All I do no know is that we need to work on your muscle."

"I know you're not talking. Look at your body. You're all skin and bones." She said, pointing at his protruding elbow joint.

"Its not polite to point." He said jokingly.

"Oh hush and move over."

He obliged this time, scooting his body over to give her room on the small bed. As the two of them became comfortable, a growl erupted from Muso's stomach. Kagome took her turn to poke him in the stomach.

"Well someone's hungry. You wanna get something to eat? I'll pay." She offered.

Muso shook his head. "No, I'll pay. You're always paying lately. Let me pick up the slack."

Kagome waggled her finger. "No sir. I got this. You gotta let a lady lead sometimes."

Muso stared her down as she grabbed her phone from her nightstand. After a few moments went by, he gave in to her offer.

"Fine you win. Can we get pizza though? I feel like we've been ordering too much Chinese food."

"Yeah, that's cool. I probably wouldn't have been able to decide anyway. I'm not good at deciding at what to eat."

"I'm sure you could be if you tried your best."

It was at that moment that she felt her heart frown. She was hoping he would throw in a joke after she threw out the comment. There is a common stereotype about women never knowing what they want to eat, and although its impossible for every woman to be that way, the stereotype was still funny to laugh at because of how outrageous the jokes could get. The feeling was gone as quick as it came but the thought inside her head stuck around as she went through her contacts to find the right name. When she found the person she wanted, she sent a quick text to him

Kagome: hey, I'm hungry. Can you buy me something to eat please ToT I'm starrrviiinnggg :'( haven't eaten all day

She could feel her younger self judging her from a different time era. She was never the type to use men but here she was following Shippo's advice and using the man for food. Not only food, but food for herself and a guy that would eventually replace her. It made her cringe up inside but Shippo would tell her its not her fault that the guy buys her food without clarifying the situation.

She didn't feel right inside about doing but she also felt that Shippo had a point.

'I mean, he literally introduced himself as the food guy that buys his girl food. I hadn't even told him my age yet and he was ready to buy me the buffet…eh. It'll be a good life lesson.'

Food man: hey wassup, what u want to eat?

She told him that she wanted pizza and he had it ordered for her within the next five minutes. She thanked him and ended the conversation so that she could return to Muso.

"Okay, food's ordered." She said, propping herself on top of his chest.

He looked up at her and smiled softly. She wasn't sure how it happened but within the next second, she was under him and he was kissing up her exposed leg with his shirt off. Although his lips were small, they still felt soft on her skin.

Kagome's mind began to fog up as her attention span closed in on Muso's demonstrations on her body. She sported nothing but a large loose T-shirt as a night gown which made access a lot easier for him. He pushed the shirt up, stopping just below the nipple and Kagome closed her eyes. The cool air brushed past the bottom of her partially exposed breasts. Teasing her, he swiped his tongue across the bottom of each mound.

'Damn…am I really doing this with this guy? Why?' She started to think to herself, bringing her mind out of La La land.

Muso had been walking her to and from classes ever since she moved out Inuyasha's new apartment. He would also buy her food when he convinced her to let him, and he'd call her every night to talk to her until she fell asleep. With all this in mind, she felt that he was off to a good start but she wasn't sure she was quite ready to take the next step after such a short amount of time.

She opened her eyes and put her hands on his shoulders. "M-muso...mm…I-I can't. Not right now." She said, gently moving him off of her.

His face became immediately apologetic. "I'm so sorry, did I do something wrong?"

She shook her head, swiping a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "No. No. No. You didn't do anything. I'm just really not in the mood…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get your hopes up or anything like that

…"

"Listen Kay. I don't mind doing nothing. I just don't want you to be uncomfortable. Don't feel bad."

"Yeah, I-"

*knock knock knock knock knock knock knock*

Her sentence was then interrupted by several hefty, quick paced knocks on the door. Both of their heads turned to the source of the door in surprise. Kagome had ordered the food before Muso did anything to her, but she felt a heavy doubt that the pizza could have been made and delivered that quickly to her residence

"Um…I guess pizza's here?" He said in an unsure tone.

Kagome stood to her feet. "I don't know but if it is, their service must be damn good."

She approached the door slowly to wait and see if another series of knocks would come. Normally delivery people were known to shout through the door or give a call if someone didn't answer the door. In this case, there was nothing. She peeped through the hole and was a little taken aback to find that no one was out front.

'Did they walk away?' She thought to herself.

She unlocked the door and slowly opened it, keeping her body pressed against the wooden material as her necked peer around it. At first glance, the hall appeared moderately lit but no one could be seen in the light. She then took a step from around the door to see if the hall was truly empty only to be met by the chest of a white-haired half demon with the physique of a light body builder.

She was shocked to see him but not surprised that he would hunt her down to speak to her. At this point, she realized demons were twice as persistent as human men were.

"Can I help you?" She asked, cutting right to the chase.

He recognized the game she was trying to play and decided to play right along with her. "Yes you can. We need to talk Kagome."

She cringed at the sound of her name. Although Inuyasha wasn't being the loudest, Muso still had slight demon blood in him meaning he could most likely hear that there was not a pizza man at the door.

'Okay, gotta end this quickly before Muso gets suspicious.'

"Look Inuyasha, I respect that you want to get closure and stuff but I don't want to talk to you. Not now. Not ever. I told you I'm over everything. Now can you just-"

"Okay so we're playing this game too right?" He asked, folding his arms.

"What game?"

Inuyasha could smell him, he could hear the heartbeat, and he could sense the suspicion in Muso's head. He knew there was another man in Kagome's room and the thought of it alone made his nerves tick. To put the cherry on top, Kagome was dismissing him in front of Muso but Inuyasha was never the one to let someone else play those games with him alone. He knew the rules and was advanced at all the steps. Not once in history has someone ever beat him at the game and he refused to even let Kagome be the first.

"Oh nothing. Don't worry about it. Just worry about the fact that you can text me late as hell to tell me you like me just to have another man in your room when I show up at your doorstep." He raised his voice for the purpose of wanting Muso to hear him. This was not pleasant to Kagome's ears as she immediately shot out from in her room, shutting the door behind her.

"Why the fuck are you so loud?!" She whisper-shouted at him, staring at him with the eyes of a bull.

Meanwhile Inuyasha's eyes were hooded and he was irritated. He kept his voice the same tone, still wanting Muso to hear his words. "Because I want to know why my girl has another man in our room?!" He shouted at her.

She jumped in his face. "I am NOT your girl!" She hissed at him.

'Oh really now Kagome? Still dismissing me in front of other men. Alright well guess what then.'

"Oh really? Well I had you on my bed like you were my girl-"

'I'

"I ate you out like you were my girl-"

'Dont'

"I had you calling my name like you were my girl-"

'Play'

"I had you leaving dusty ass Kouga behind like you were my girl-'

'That'

"And I had you riding my face the other night like this dude inside your room never existed like you were my girl-"

'Bullshit'

"So what's really the fucking truth?!"

As he kept going, his voice kept get louder and heavier on purpose. Kagome had him looking like the desperate stalker, so he'd make her look the player she accused him of being. Even still, she tried to save face.

"The fucking truth is that you never asked me shit about being your girl and even if I was your girl, you almost went and fucked another bitch so you tell me what's the truth because we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!"

"No sweetheart, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Kouga. Get it right."

"Why you-"

The door then creaked open, and out stepped Muso all dressed and ready to go. He had his head down and noticing this, Kagome ran up to him, putting her hand on his chest.

"Muso stop! I swear this is not what it looks like! He is twisting everything to make it look like something happened and it didn't-"

"We can show him the text messages Kagome since nothing really happened according to you. I have all the proof."

Inuyasha saw how affectionate she immediately became with Muso and he couldn't understand how Muso had managed to ear her affection so easily after all they had been through.

"Inuyasha stop!" She shrieked at him.

He looked up at the ceiling with his hands on his hips. "Hmm. Let me think about it...No. I won't because you're gonna stop treating me like I'm some type of call you only make when you're sad and lonely because I'm fucking tired of it!"

"And I'm tired of you going after other women!"

"It was one fucking time Kagome! One fucking time and you're holding that against me like I did anything serious with her! If we aren't together, then you shouldn't have questioned me on shit but you fucking did Kagome and now we're here and you're pinning this on me! You don't get to decide whether or not we're together for the benefit of your argument!"

Muso had had enough of the screaming match between the two of them. After hearing Inuyasha speak, it had confirmed the doubts he had about his crush. That she had been lying to him the entire time and using him to make someone else jealous. He didn't want to be a pawn anymore so he slipped past Inuyasha's shoulder and headed towards the elevator. As Kagome was still yelling at Inuyasha, she saw Muso walk off and tried to go after him only to be picked up and taken into the bedroom by Inuyasha.

"PUT ME DOWN!" She hollered at his. He obliged her requests and put her on her feet.

As soon as she caught her footing, she ran into her small bathroom and slammed the door shut. "Inuyasha get the hell out of I swear on everything, I will call the cops!"

"Call them then Kagome. I am not going anywhere until I talk to you because this has to stop."

Kagome put her face in her hands as her body shook in pain. Her nerves were shaken up as she processed everything that just happened. Inuyasha embarrassed her in front of Muso, and most likely anyone that was home at the time just heard everything. Not to mention Kikyo who lived next door to her would definitely try to start more drama. She was confused, and her mind was running a thousand miles a minute.

While she took her time in the bathroom for the next half an hour, Inuyasha paced himself around the room trying to calm himself down. He wanted to be as calm as possible because he didn't want her to be scared. He had no intentions of coming to see her and creating all of this mess but it happened that way so he had to play his next words carefully if she gave him a chance to speak.

Once she finally emerged from the bathroom, she snatched her phone from her bed and put 911 on speed dial before looking him in his eyes. "You have ten minutes to talk. If you don't leave after that, I am calling the cops."

He put his hands up beside his head as he sat down in her desk chair. "I completely understand. Just tell me where you want me to start."

She stood up with her arms folded. "I don't really care, just fucking talk so you can leave me alone." She said coldly.

Inuyasha hadn't been expecting me so her cold shoulder didn't bother him. He did plan to break it down some. "Well," He started. "First thing's first. The woman I almost spent the night with was one of the women I used to date for like two weeks. Kikyo had came to the bar I was at that night and said some really hurtful things. Normally in the past, I would just fuck around to keep my mind off of certain people and that's what happened that night. That's not an excuse, I just wanted you to know. I stopped myself because like I said, it felt wrong and I couldn't stop thinking of you. I do apologize for everything I said in the car that day. I know I called you names and that probably hurt you. Whether it did or not, I am very sorry...Okay?"

"Ok." She said, still staring down at her feet.

"Moving on," He continued. "I was really bothered by what happened Sunday. I know we were on bad terms and all but to do all of that stuff with my Saturday just to tell me it meant nothing to you the next day bothered me even more. Like it legit...I can't believe I'm saying this...but it legit hurt my feelings. I was actually sad and upset that you said all that stuff to me. Even still I wanted to respect your personal choices which I let you be. I didn't bring up what you were doing with those other men and stuff because that was none of my business. It still hurt though. I've been trying to reach you all week but I'm guessing you blocked me." He said, but the end came off as an open statement he hoped she would answer.

"Yeah, I did. I blocked you..."

He leaned further back in the chair. "Okay well that answers that but continuing on to you believing bullshit about me when you know that's not my character. I saw those fake screenshots Kikyo sent you and it pissed me off that she sent them and also that you wouldn't let me prove myself." He reached in his pocket and took his phone out. He pulled up the real text messages and extended the phone to Kagome.

"Here, these are the real text messages, the actual conversation. All that. I know I'm running out of time here but this is what actually happened and you know I didn't delete anything because the text Kikyo deleted from her phone are on there."

Kagome stared at the phone, shifting her body side to side slowly. Although hesitating at first, she grabbed the phone from his hands and read the text messages word for word herself.

Kikyo: Hey love, how are you?

Inuyasha: Kikyo leave me the fuck alone

Kikyo: Why don't you just talk to me?

Inuyasha: What do you want

Kikyo: to fuck you silly :P

Inuyasha: Oh well I don't want to fuck you now buzz off before I block this number of yours too

Kikyo: Oh don't do that, I might just run to that lovely girlfriend of yours and fill her head with a bunch of lies

Inuyasha: Leave her out of this?

Kikyo: Or what, you're gonna go fuck one of my friends again

Inuyasha: I didn't fuck that slut and you don't even know her so why are you bringing her up

Kikyo: because you clearly don't love that other girl

Inuyasha: Who are you to tell me how I feel? But either way that's none of your business now leave me alone before I go to the cops and get a restraining order on you.

Kikyo: What about your reputation inu

Inuyasha: I don't fucking care.

Inuyasha: Leave me and Kagome alone or I'm going to make your life a living hell.

Kagome reached the bottom of the texts and mentally punched herself in the face. She had went off on Inuyasha and even brought up a sensitive subject Shippo told her not to talk about. Reality crashed down on her like a burning building as record of the past two weeks flashed through her head. She had passed judgment extremely fast, had no evidence for the most part, trusted people who didn't give her reason to, and shut out one of the only people that had cared about her existence since she arrived at the school.

'Oh gosh what's wrong with me!? I played all these boys, I shut Inuyasha out, I...I'm such a fucking horrible person.' She thought.

Although she was breaking down on the inside, her pride wouldn't let her be wrong. "Okay, I guess I was wrong for listening to Kikyo but you still shouldn't have been on that other girl if you were just going to come back to me and be all up on me." She said, reflecting the blame off of her and back onto him which he noticed but didn't point out.

"Kagome, I get it...Okay? I am so fucking sorry, I cannot apologize anymore. I am trying here. Shit, I'm practically fucking begging for you to forgive me at this point...Fuck it. I can't. I'll just go. My ten minutes are up anyway. Don't need a charge tonight." Inuyasha got up and headed to the door.

"Wait! Why are you leaving?" She asked trying to stall him from walking out.

The question only left Inuyasha confused. "What are you talking about Kagome? You told me I only had ten minutes to talk or you'd call the cops!"

She turned and plopped on her bed with her face in her hands. "Fine Inuyasha. If you want to go, just go then. I don't care." She said.

Inuyasha sucked his teeth and pursed his lips out with his hand still on the door knob. "Kagome, what do you want me to do? Because you're confusing the fuck out of me. Either you want me here or you don't what do you want?"

"Do whatever you want Inuyasha! I don't care!" She said, her voice shaking as she mumbled in her hands.

'Well, there you go Inuyasha. She said do whatever you want. So maybe we can actually get somewhere now.'

He slowly let his hand drop from the door knob as he stared at her. His heartbroken state had been lifted slightly but he knew there was more work to do. He let his feet carry him towards her. Even when he stood in front of her, she wouldn't move her hands from her face. He took a seat beside her and kicked his sneakers off. He pushed himself further back until he was sturdy and his back was against the wall. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his lap.

She was in nothing but a big T-shirt and he was in his regular black sweat pants with a red v-neck T-shirt. His hair was up in a high ponytail with a few loose strands here and there while her hair was out and tousled about. She let her hands drop from her face a little to peek up at him just to find him staring down at her. She tried to hide her tears but Inuyasha snatched her hands down with one of his hands.

"You're too pretty to hide your face like that. You know that right?" He said softly but he was met with no response. Only a hollow facial expression from her.

He leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. When he leaned back to take a look at her, she was almost in awe but her face still expressed nothing but numbness. He leaned forward again but this time he kissed both of her cheeks with a small smile. Taking another careful look at her, she appeared to be loosening up but it wasn't enough for Inuyasha to be satisfied. He then came down one last time and stopped just in front of her face, almost so close that their eyelashes could practically touch. He was breathing lightly against her as he held her lotion soft skin in his rough hands. He couldn't help himself but to keep his gaze on her hazel eyes. Those same eyes that captured his attention the minute he laid eyes on her. The same girl he told himself many times a day he couldn't have because she had dated a friend. This was the same girl that made his heart cheer in delight at the thought of her, that made his brain throw out the logic in their situation, and that had him almost in tears at the thought of their separation.

Her thick body in his hands felt melt worthy to him to the point where he could lay on her and fall right to sleep. The same small belly that men would shame, he loved the feeling of it against his stone hard body. Why did he feel this way? He would never know but the thought of having a woman that he could help put back together and see her grow made him ecstatic. Nonetheless, his thoughts came to an all time high as his hands began to wonder around the rest of her.

"I missed you so much." He breathed out, closing the space to bring their lips together. His nerves rattled at the thought of her not accepting his kiss but surprisingly enough, she kissed him right back continuously as he kept smooching her lips back to back in a series of small but passionate kisses.

He squeezed her thigh in his hand as their lips began to taste tongue. Kagome had only ever kissed Kouga and hadn't done so in a while so she worried that she wouldn't be able to keep up but Inuyasha made the experience subtle and slow for her to keep her cool and relaxed. She opened her mouth to let out a short airy moan as his hand suddenly found it's way back home. Using both hands, she grabbed the back of his neck and brought him back down to her. Something so soft and sweet turned rough and wet within a matter of seconds. Her hips bucked against his hand as she tried to get him to move it more. He was teasing and she knew it but it didn't mean she would stand for it. She snapped herself from his hypnotic lips and backed off of his lap. She put her thumbs inside each side of her panties and slid them down before kicking it off to the side.

She laid there on her back with her hands above her head and her legs wide open for him. He licked and bit his lips like he had just made eye contact with a thanksgiving dinner. This time, he would spice up the food a little. He got on all fours, and crawled over top of her. So that he could keep it a surprise, he came down to entrance her in another series of kisses as he used his other hand to unleash his shaft. As Kagome found herself lost in his mouth sucking on her lips, she felt something soft but hard touch her legs and smooth itself over onto her jewel.

"Mmm. Ooohh..." She moaned out as his dick rubbed her up and down. Her hips lifted up and down in rhythm with his thrusts, one by one, faster and faster until she clung her struggling arms around his back. Trying to find a place to put her hands, she accidently knocked his hair tie loose and his hair spilled down like a glass of milk.

As she was moaning her heart out to Kikyo next door, Inuyasha sucked and kissed on her neck wanting to mark her as much as he could, whispering nothing but sweet words to her.

"That's right...Moan for me baby...Daddy's not gonna fuck you just yet but he wants you to feel good doesn't he baby?"

She nodded just to give him the satisfaction for the pleasure and pressure being put down on her special spot, she couldn't come up with enough words to form a sentence.

"Yeeess. Oh, I need this. Oh I missed this so bad..oooohh."

He suckled on her ear lobe before speaking into it. "You missed me baby?"

"Mhm. Yeah..."

"Aww. I know you did...Whenever you want me, I'm all yours. Understand?"

"Yess Inuyasha Yessss. Oh goodness yes."

"Good girl, now bend it over for daddy so I can cum already."

She obeyed as she was told and turned over on all fours. Inuyasha positioned himself in between her other set of lips and began to fuck his way through her wetness. The flickering sensation made her legs tremble and left her almost paralyzed as she couldn't even find an audible way to moan. Inuyasha went faster and faster until he felt his body reach his high and his dick shot out his load all onto her blanket.

"Fuuuucckk." He moaned out as he humped his last bit of energy out.

He had his hands on her hips but as soon as he let go, she fell forward, ass exposed and all. He chuckled slightly at her before getting up. He went to go wash himself off in her bathroom. After he was done, he returned to see Kagome passed out on the bed. He breathed a sigh of content as he picked her up and put her under the blanket. He used a wet cloth to wipe up their mess from the bed and then threw it inside her hamper. He amped up and the A/C and yanked his shirt from above his head. He then joined his lady in bed. Once he adjusted himself, Kagome turned around and snuggled into his chest. He kissed the top of her head before letting his body relax and fall into slumber.
