The rest of the week flew by. Everything came as a blur. I spent most of the days thinking about the situation I was in. A stupid little triangle where I had to choose between an ex boyfriend who I loved and hated all at the same time and my friend who cared about me more than anyone else…
The worst part of it was, that no matter how strong my feelings for Taro were, I knew I had started to like Inuyasha.
But, I loved Taro and love comes before liking and this was my opportunity to be happy again and Inuyasha should have just… accepted it. He should have been proud of me… not mad that I was taking my chances. It was a risk, but one I was more than willing to take.
Plus, knowing Taro, I would be on my guard all night. I'd be watching him and making sure he didn't pull anything over my eyes.
At work, I was rather quiet. Miroku didn't ask what was wrong. I'm sure he had a slight idea…
I was so confused. It's hard to follow your gut feeling when even that feeling's confused.
I didn't know where I stood.
But as my shift ended, I simply hung up my apron and left, telling Miroku goodbye on my way out.

I had decided on going to the party. Even if things got bad, I would have at least made an appearance so Taro didn't feel like I had just ditched him.
At this point, I wanted to be with Inuyasha more than anything, though.
The instant I set foot onto his property, I felt completely out of place. There were tons of people sitting outside drunk enough to pass out. There was even a fire going somewhere on the driveway.
On my way up to the door, which was wide open, I managed to pass a couple having sex right on Taro's lawn.
I was just going to say hi and leave. This was not my thing.
I passed Yuri as I stepped inside. She and her friend started to whisper random nonsense about, I'm guessing, my appearance at the party.
I just wanted to find Taro and leave.
"Kagome!" I heard Yuri slur out as she walked up to me.
"Just what do you think you're doing here? Don't you know you're a complete outcast? You don't belong here. Taro dumped your ass! Not that he ever really even had it…" She snickered.
I sighed and pushed passed her, knocking her onto the ground.
"Kags!" I heard a familiar voice call out. I looked up to see Taro standing there, holding two beers in his hands.
"Come on, babe… I got you one." I sighed and walked up the steps to where he stood.
He slumped over, I'm sure already completely wasted.
I watched him pass the unopened beer to his friend behind him.
"Here, open this up for her…" He muttered. I watched his friend open the bottle… then it looked as if he dropped something else inside. I wasn't so sure what it was or if I was just hallucinating.
"So, how've you been, babe?" Taro asked, distracting me from whatever I thought was possibly going on.
"Oh… I've been alright, I guess. I've been spending a lot of time with Inuyasha." I said as Taro handed me my beer. We walked over and sat down on a couch nearby.
"Yea… I noticed. It kind of irked me, ya know?" He said.
I cocked my head to the side.
"Take a sip, babe… loosen up."
I complied… deciding to down the beverage while I could. It tasted like some cheap watered down beer. Disgusting.
Taro inched closer to me. "No… it bugged me to see you two together all the time." He took the empty beer bottle from my hands and tossed it away.
My throat was burning and my head felt like it weighed more than a boulder.
"Why... why's that?" I spat out blinking harshly a few times.
"Because…" He got up to my ear to whisper into it. "I really wasn't okay without you, ya know?"
I felt too sick for my heart to skip a beat. Taro whispered more things in my ear, but I couldn't even pay attention. It felt like I had the flu or a really bad sinus infection.
I needed to lie down.
"You wanna go…" I heard him say as he picked me up and carried me off into some room.
After we got there, he lay me down on the bed, smirking to himself.
This was it… the moment Inuyasha had warned me about. My heart was screaming it to me. But… I couldn't even think about trying to move.
I was completely numb.
"Ttaro…" I murmured.
I wanted Inuyasha here… now… anytime… to hear him bust through the door and kick the shit out of Taro…
He'd come… I knew… he had to…
"Yea, babe?" He asked, climbing next to me and kissing me all over.
"I… I don't want to do this…" I said a little louder.
"Shhh…" He said softly, caressing my cheek. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Where was he… I needed him now.
"No…no…" I got louder. "No, Taro… please… don't…"
I was trying so hard to fight it, but I couldn't. I felt like I was going to drift off… I didn't want to. I had to get him off of me.
I could feel him starting to take off my blouse. This was not what I wanted at all… I was just going to say hi… and bye… and leave.
Yet, here I was… completely incapacitated and succumbing to his stupendous power over my heart.
"Taro, stop it… stop it…" Then something happened, like an explosion in my head, I just shouted. "STOP IT! TARO STOP! I DON'T-"
And then everything went black.

A/N: Dun dun dun… yea, I don't really know how long it takes for date-rape pills to kick in, but the O.C. told me not too long… so that's where I base my knowledge. I know I so didn't help anyone who reviewed for last chapter… But don't worry… I'll update soon enough.
