Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha.

Author's Note: Hii, everyone I was wandering if it would be possible if could just a couple of reviews, I love feedback and it would mean a lot to me. It's just so I know that people are actually reading my story, and it lets me know if I should continue or not.

Last Time…

Sesshomaru grew silent, "is she still with you?" he asked somewhat irritated. Inu Yasha replied no, saying how she just wanted to go home. Sesshomaru sighed again "We're juts not going to work out." Kagome gasp quietly as tears started to fall from her eyes. Miruko looked at her in pity and hugged her shoulders. "Ok, well I'm going back to bed, night." Sesshomaru hung up.

She could feel her world slowly starting to crumble; everything she knew was starting to leave her. "I should go home." Miruko said trying to get out of the mess.

When they dropped Miruko home, Inu Yasha looked at Kagome, who now looked dead. "You can stay with me tonight if you want," before she could say no Inu Yasha cut in, "you're like my sister now ok?" Kagome nodded, both, in understanding and agreement.

They drove all night, and Kagome just sat in the passenger seat and cried her heart out. Inu Yasha did the best to comfort her as best as he could while driving, but he knew that she was in so much pain. "You know by tomorrow this will be all over, it's just the alcohol talking, ok?" he tried to comfort her, "he loves you more then you know." Kagome nodded signaling that she heard but she kept on crying and he let her get it out of her system.

Now…

As Inu Yasha pulled in front of Kagome's home he turned to look at her, her eyes were still red and puffy, her hair was a mess, and she looked paler then he remembered her being. "Hey go get ready and then call me back when you're done, we'll chill." He said softly to the broken girl.

Kagome gave him a sad smile, "yeah ok, and thank you Inu." She grabbed her purse on the floor and headed up the stairs to her door. When she got in, she took off her shoes, through her purse on the couch and ran up the stairs to her room. She closed her door and walked over to the chair in her room, which faced a long, full body mirror. Kagome picked up the sweater hanging on the chair and put it on. She zipped up the sweater and laid down on her bed, letting the smell on the sweater engulf her. Versace Blue Jeans, his favorite cologne, the one her senses had gotten use to, and the one that managed to fill her room.

Tears started to fill her eyes as reality hit her hard, realizing that he was no longer hers, that she was about to lose the man she loved. Kagome cried quietly in her bed, hoping it was a bad dream, hoping and praying that it was all a lie, that he would call tell her how much he loved her. She started to shake and sob harder; knowing that it going to be all over soon and there was nothing she could do. Kagome cried until she had no tears left, until all she could feel was the sadness squeezing heart, until she could feel pressure on her chest from an unknown force, until she felt like she was nothing.

Kagome took off the sweater and hung it back up on the chair; she took a breath and looked at her reflection. She looked like a mess and she knew the Inu Yasha would be picking her up soon. She sighed and started for her bathroom, once in; she closed and locked the door. She then stripped, turned on the shower, adjusted the temperature of the water, checked the heat, and then stepped in. While closing the curtains, she noticed her hands were still shaking and how weak her legs felt while she stood. Kagome closed her eyes and tilted her head back, letting the heat of the water over take her body. As she felt the hot water run down her body, she felt her body regaining its strength.

After the shower, Kagome started to get ready; she dressed in tracksuit and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She then put on her make up as she normally did; she then grabbed her purple Blac Label cap and put it on. She then picked up her cell phone and called Inu Yasha, "hey Inu, I'm done getting ready." She heard him say that he would be there in a couple minutes. Kagome took a deep breathe in, grabbed Sesshomaru's sweater, ran down the stairs, and grabbed her purse to wait for Inu Yasha.

Kagome heard her phone ring; looking at the call display, she noticed that it was Inu Yasha. "Hey, you outside?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, I'm out here." Inu Yasha replied. Kagome stepped out of her house and signaled him to pop open the trunk. After putting the sweater into the trunk, she then jumped into the passenger seat of his white Mazda3. "Hey sorry about coming so late," he explained, "I would have come earlier but I had to drop off Sesshomaru at a friend's house."

Kagome visibly stiffened, "was it a girl's house?" She knew that she shouldn't care whether his friend was a female or not, but she couldn't help the sting of jealously. Before Kagome and Sesshomaru were dating they were very good friends and he would tell her about all the girls he had on call. She had also known that he had a history of cheating and could move on from a girl without hesitation. Her greatest fear that he would forget about her without a second thought and just thinking that he had already moved on killed her.

Inu Yasha looked at her and said reassuringly, "no, you have nothing to worry about." He then started to pull away from her home and once they were on the main road, he started to talk again. "So I tried to bring up what happened between you two today when I saw him," he paused as if contemplating whether he should continue or not, "he got really mad at me and told me not to bring it up anymore." Inu Yasha glanced at her, "I'm really sorry Kagome, I tried and I'm sorry for even putting you in this position."

Kagome nodded in understanding and then faced him, giving a soft, sad, smile. "There really is nothing you can do about it," she looked out her window, "and this isn't your fault, it's mine, if I had just listened to him we wouldn't have gotten into a fight." Kagome felt so empty that it just didn't seem to matter anymore; nothing could take that empty feeling away. Well, one thing could take away the empty feeling, and that would be him taking her back.

"You're such a good girl Kagome," Inu Yasha said in a defeated voice, "you do so much for him already and for you to blame yourself for his stubborn attitude is unfair to you." He gripped the steering wheel a little tighter, "if he can't see how amazing you are then that's his lose." He looked at her a smiled, "on a happier note, we're going to be going to Miruko's house to chill."

Kagome quickly faced Inu Yasha, "are you sure?" She started to fidget, "I don't want to be an inconvenience to you guys."

"Just because you guys aren't together anymore, doesn't mean that we'll stop chilling with you," Inu Yasha reassured her; "he introduced you to us as his girlfriend and brought you along." He gave her a quick smile, "if he didn't want us to be friends with you then that's his problem not yours." Kagome looked at Inu Yasha and smiled at him gratefully.

When they finally arrived at Miruko's house, Kagome never felt so welcome by his friends in the time that she was with him. They were all genuinely worried about her and told her the same thing Inu Yasha had said in the car. She smiled and thanked all of them and told them how grateful she was to have them in her life. They sat down at Miruko's place as more people started to arrive and some how while talking, they managed to get her to call him. Kagome stepped outside of the house and stared at his number for a good while. She then took a deep breath in and pressed the call button. Kagome stood there, with the phone at her ear listening to the ringing sound coming from the earpiece.

Her hand shook her heartbeat faster and then her breathing stopped when she heard the velvet voice answer, "hello?"
