Chapter Sixteen: The End of the Beginning

"You locked the keys in the car?" Kagome asked, slowly after a moment of silence.

Inuyasha nodded grimly.

"You're kidding right?" she asked again, praying, hoping, he was. The sky was looking rather gray and rain-like, and the windows were all rolled up. So there was no way they could get the key out without breaking the car.

Inuyasha shook his head, groaning slightly.

"You're not kidding? So do you mean to tell me that you LOCKED THE KEYS IN THE DAMN RENTAL CAR? AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO RAIN?!?" Kagome exploded, pouring put all the emotions she had kept pent up over the last few weeks.

"Look, I'm sorry! We were both tired. It was an accident!" Inuyasha said, his voice rising ever so slightly.

"I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! YOU LOCKED THE KEYS IN THE CAR. YOU DID! NOT ME, NOT HERMIONE, NOT MY LITTLE PONY!!!! YOU!!! GET IT? NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED, GET IT???" Kagome yelled, as thunder rolled ominously over head.

"You know what, Kagome?" Inuyasha said, looking straight into her eyes. "I've been really nice to you. I have. The whole time I've known you, I've never been the self centered, stuck on myself actor you think I am. I may have been over excited, zoned out, and a little stupid at some times, but never have I done anything wrong to you. It's been you who's yelled at me every five seconds, and never accepted me for who I was. A hopelessly in love guy. A guy whose never going to get what he wants, because what he wants is the things that's the most unreachable. But you know? Now I see that all I ever did to try and reach you was done in vain. I mean, you act like it's my fault that, we missed the plane, we got crappy hotel rooms, that it's going to rain, that the keys got locked in the car by accident, and that I'm even in this movie with you at all. If you don't want me stuck up your ass trying to be nice to a rock, you don't have to worry anymore. Cuz I'm done. Okay? I'm done trying to reach you. I don't see what I ever saw in you. And from now on you can expect me to be an arrogant, self-centered, jerk, to you, because that's what you are to me. And that's what you want me to be. It's over. I'm not going to chase you anymore."

Kagome stared. While he spoke the rain, as if on cue, started to pour getting the both soaked to the bone. Kagome shut her open mouth and blinked a couple times. Inuyasha had never yelled at her before, and somehow this seemed worse than yelling. "Well," she said, regaining her ability to speak, "that's good. And you're right it was all in vain. I'm glad we can move on now."

"No," Inuyasha snapped. "I don't think you get it. I. AM. NOT. GOING. TO. CHASE YOU. ANY. MORE!" His voice rose with every word. "I AM NOT A CONCEITED, SELFISH JERK, KAGOME!! YOU ARE? OKAY? YOU ARE! Do you get it now?" he asked tired all of a sudden.

This time Kagome's mouth fell open and stayed open. She stared at Inuyasha with pain, anger, and fear in her eyes. But he didn't notice. He was to busy staring at a sign, lost in thought. His hair plastered to his head, rain running down his face.

Tears began to fall from Kagome's eyes, mixing with the rain already running down her cheeks. "Fine!" she choked, her tears coming steady. "I never liked you anyway, so it won't be different."

But she knew she was lying to herself. Lightning filled the sky with an eerie glow, and was followed by the book of rolling thunder. By the time the lightning cleared the sky and the thunder silenced, Kagome had already run away from Inuyasha and into the store, tears streaming down her face.

Inuyasha watched her run into the store. He noticed the tears. He stared at the door, and then moaned, slamming his head down on the roof of the car. What exactly had he done?

A/N: So Inuyasha said his stuff, messed up, and Kagome gets upset! What will happen next time, on Gorgeous and Loser? Well…I'm not going to tell you. For those of you that are wondering though, I will tell you that the food they got from the store has gotten extremely soaked by now and they will not be eating it. That was for those of you that wanted to know. Soooo, see ya! Review please!! Sorry if i made you all sad... It'll get like way better!!!!
