Kagome stumbled over the last front step and fell down to the ground. ' I've really done it this time. ' Kagome thought miserably. Deep down she knew that she cared for him, but she didn't want to realize it.

And now the kiss affirmed what she knew all along.

' He's still a playboy. ' she thought angrily to herself.

He was still the uncaring playboy who didn't care about anyone but himself. And yet she cared about him.

And what's even worse was that she didn't bother getting up from the ground.

' Pathetic. ' Kagome thought as her eyes began to water.

" Kagome? " a familiar voice rang out.

" Shit. " Kagome whispered as she looked behind her to see a concerned Inuyasha looking down at her.

" Why did you run away? " Inuyasha asked as he offered her his hand.

Kagome looked at it with what looked like fear for a moment. But after a few moments she took it. " I already told you that I can't do this. " Kagome said as he helped her up.

" Can't do what? " Inuyasha asked.

" Us you moron!! " Kagome yelled as her hands balled into fists.

" Ow! Sheesh Kagome you didn't have to yell! " Inuyasha said as he rubbed his ears.

" Sorry. " Kagome said sheepish smile.

" It's ok. " Inuyasha said with his usual smirk. Inuyasha then noticed tears falling from Kagome's chocolate brown eyes. Kagome saw a depressed look in Inuyasha's eyes. He was about to say something when a drunken Miroku stumbled out of the house.

" Hey Inu! Dude where have you been? Theres some hot American twins that want to meet you! " Miroku said with much slurring. Miroku then saw the tears on Kagome's face and came to a sudden conclusion.

" Oh shit Inu did you break Kagome's heart already? I thought you would do it after the party. " Miroku said.

" After the party? " Kagome said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Inuyasha looked like a deer caught in headlights. And that enough confirmation from her that he was indeed playing her like a fool.

" No please Kagome I was going to, but I realized that I don't want to anymore. You don't deserve pain like that. " Inuyasha said in a pleading tone.

Tears were falling even more know from Kagome's eyes. " And I'm supposed to believe you? You're the biggest liar on the planet Inuyasha! I can't believe for an instant that I trusted you! Or even cared for you! Just stay away from me you bastard! " Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs.

Inuyasha just stood there and took everything that she said in. She was right. He was a liar and a bastard. He was the biggest bastard on the planet for even thinking of hurting her. He deserved this.

" I'm sorry Kagome. " Inuyasha said. That was all he could say. In his mind he knew that right now there was nothing he could do that would make her think he was truly sorry.

" Save it Inuyasha. I don't want to hear anymore of your lies. " Kagome said as she turned and strode off into the night.

Inuyasha didn't bother to say anything, he didn't even bother moving. All he did was think about the look of hurt and anger in Kagome's eyes.

" Wake up Miroku. " a voice rang out.

Miroku slightly opened his eyes then closed them quickly. The light that shone through the window made his headache even worse. " Shit. How much Vodka did I have? " Miroku said with a groan as he covered his eyes.

" Please. About one shot you lightweight. " Inuyasha said as he rolled his eyes. (A.N. lightweight is someone who immediately gets drunk after one drink of alcohol)

Miroku tried again to open his eyes. The light stung his eyes a little, but little by little they began to adjust. It didn't take him long to realize that he was in Inuyasha's room and on Inuyasha's bed. Wait...his bed?

Miroku's eyes widened as he sat up looked himself over. ' Thank God I still have my clothes on! ' Miroku thought as he sighed with relief. Inuyasha noticed the instant look of panic as Miroku realized where he was and he shook his head. " Relax Miroku even if I was drunk I still don't swing that way. " Inuyasha said.

" Good to know buddy. Man, I can't remember at all what happened last night. " Miroku said as he rubbed his aching temples.

" Well for one thing you basically let Kagome know about my plan and she yelled at me and left. " Inuyasha said in a matter of fact tone.

Just then Miroku's eyes widened to the size of plates. " I did? " Miroku said in utter shock. Inuyasha nodded and said, " You sure did. "

" Inuyasha I'm so sorry I ruined it for you! Man what kind of friend am I?? " Miroku said as he smacked himself.

" You're a good friend for doing that. I don't think I could've went through with my plan even if I wanted to do. " Inuyasha replied with a sad smile.

Miroku was puzzled at this. All this time Inuyasha was talking about how Kagome was going to get what she deserved and how she will learn to never mess with Inuyasha. And now as Miroku saw Inuyasha before him, he never looked more guilty and upset before, well at least not since Kikyo.

" What made you have a change of heart? " Miroku asked.

" I'm in love with her. " Inuyasha said in a depressed tone.

Kagome sat on her couch with a tub of ice cream in her lap. She really didn't pay any attention to what was on the television. Her mind was mainly focusing on Inuyasha. ' How could he manipulate me like that? ' Kagome thought angrily to herself. To think she actually thought that he was human. And not to mention he only meant to toy with her emotions. If it wasn't for the fact that she needed this job, she would quit.

But then again...

" I don't think I can see that jerk anymore. " Kagome said in a frustrated tone. Will he still try and get her to sleep with him? Or will he back off? " That's like asking someone to stop breathing. " Kagome said in a sarcastic tone. Maybe that cocktail waitress job isn't that bad after all. At least Inuyasha wouldn't be her boss.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door. Kagome looked up to the ceiling and said, " Why me? "

She put the tub of ice cream down on the couch and went to the door. ' If it's Inuyasha I swear I'm going to scream. ' Kagome thought angrily to herself.

When she opened the door and saw her visitor all she could do was stare and say one simple name.

" Koga. "
