Chapter 9 – And I'll never go home again.
Everything happened very fast. Koga arrived and gave Kagome and Rin a ride to the nightclub. It didn't even feel like a 'date'. When the three of them came in, with Rin being extremely happy and excited, the music was very loud and a remix of the song Buzzcut Season was playing. Everything seemed liked a movie. Like one of those scenes where everything is blurry and the whole world moves but somehow you don't. They went to a table in which Koga's friends were drinking and partying. Very soon, a little too soon, Rin started drinking a lot and dancing with Kagome or strangers.
Something like an hour passed and Inuyasha arrived and greeted everyone at the table very casually, since after all they were his friends too. Lots of people were coming over to talk to him, especially groups of girls. Kagome finally had it; she stood up and decided to go get drunk to the bar. Koga saw her leaving and tried to catch up to her but the amount of people didn't allow him to even see the direction she was going. Kagome arrived to the bar and ordered four shots of tequila, which the bartender said they were on the house. She took them amazingly fast and the guys around her cheered on her and invited her even more drinks. And just like a movie, again, she didn't know when but at some point she ended up dancing with two strangers. They were having fun and dancing like idiots, as if they were kids. Now everything was actually blurry. Not the feeling of being blurry, not the feeling of a fast-paced movie, but the actual thing. The two guys she was dancing with suddenly kissed each other and she realized they were two gay guys, maybe a couple, and she drunk-cheered on them and went on and on of how she wished she had a good relationship like them, which made the guys laugh and dance even harder.
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool
Where everything is good
The big place was packed and extremely crowded. Even though Kagome would usually hate this, she was pretty drunk and pretty angry. The loud music and strangers helped her get it out of her system, at least for the moment. While she was getting lost in thoughts, an angry Inuyasha was looking for her everywhere. Every time he could advance a little bit, another group of excited girls would come up to him and this would repeat again and again.
Just when the clock hit 2 AM, and one of Koga's friends was trying to kiss the drunk Rin, a very tall and serious man in a suit literally carried Rin and took her outside the club. She was screaming and telling him to put her down but nothing helped. Turns out, the mysterious man worked for Sesshomaru and he ordered him to go and get Rin. He carried the young girl to the back of a car with him and told the man that worked for him to drive to the Taisho mansion.
Then, in the middle of her drunk-ness, a frustrated Kagome pushed people rudely and finally could go outside the club, where everyone was smoking. She rested against a wall, felt the wind against her skin, and asked someone for a cigarette. While she smoked, she frowned and remembered all the stuff that had happened with Inuyasha in the summer in such little time. The silence was suddenly interrupted by the door opening, letting the club's music out. Then when it closed, silence again. Someone, without announce, threw Kagome's cigarette to the floor and stepped on it. She looked up to complain but quickly kept that thought when he saw Inuyasha's angry face. He started talking really fast with a really deep voice. Kagome couldn't understand any word, at all. Her eyes were closing slowly and just like that, just like in the movies, everything became pitch black.
The next day, Kagome woke up in her bed with the strongest headache she had ever experienced. She looked at the clock that marked 11 AM. She was sitting down slowly when a knock was heard on the door and Inuyasha came in with a coffee in his hands and gave it to Kagome.
- What happened? – Kagome asked, taking a sip of the coffee.
- You fell asleep right outside the club. You were pretty wasted so I took you back home. Don't worry, Kagura changed your clothes so don't start yelling at me. –
- No … I wasn't … Thank you. – Kagome said, really embarrassed.
- You ignored me the whole time, even escaped from me and went ahead and got drunk all by yourself. You had fun? Playing with me? –
- Look, I'm grateful you helped me out yesterday but we're not together. I want someone who only looks at me, who only loves me. You're not that person and I think you know that. So, do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time with me. –
- You're feelings are your own but don't tell me how I should feel. You're the one who doesn't believe me. Tell me what I should do … please, tell me. I know you're hurting, I know you're always nervous and scared for your mom and I also know your father's death left you scarred. I know. I know and I want to be there for you. I like those things about you. –
- Stop … -
- No. You're going to listen to this. I like how strong and brave you are. I like how you value people more than anything. I like that you're introverted and sarcastic. I like that even though you always try to fight it, you cry very easily. I like how smart you are. I like how passionate you are about interesting things and shit that really matters. Kagome, I lo-
- Stop! I beg you, just stop. – Kagome interrupted, with hot tears running down her cheeks. – Get out. Just, get out. You can't do this to me. –
- Kagome, please just listen to-
- Get out! –
- Okay, suit yourself. – Inuyasha said, walking away and slamming the bedroom's door.
Since then, Inuyasha had gone to the city with no reason or purpose at all and hadn't gone to the summerhouse for a whole week. Clearly evading Kagome. She tried to tell herself it was for the best. That they didn't have any future together so there was no point. Magazines kept saying how Inuyasha was partying heavily and paparazzi pictures with various different women were taken. Izayoi was very worried because Kagome barely went out of her room and barely ate, and according to her Kagome's eyes 'looked sad'. But as they said, the show had to go on and Izayoi was busy planning her husband's birthday party, which was going to be on Sunday and she made Inuyasha and Kagome swear they were going to attend.
