Last Time…

"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?"

Now…

"H-hey," Kagome replied awkwardly, "umm…I gave your things Inu Yasha." Kagome cleared her throat, "are we over for sure?" Kagome's heart tightened, she could feel the pressure on her chest as she waited to hear his answer.

The silence was deafening and after, what seemed like forever, he gave asked back, "do you want us to be?"

Her breath went ridged, "no, I love you so much, please just tell me what I did wrong and I'll fix it." Kagome couldn't help but blurt it out, she just wanted to go to him and beg him to take her back.

Sesshomaru gave a sigh, "can you call me back in twenty minutes." Kagome replied yes, sat on the steps, and cried dry tears.

Hearing the screen door open Kagome looked behind her finding Inu Yasha standing there looking down at her broken form. "Are going to be ok?" he asked as he sat down beside her. She looked at him and looked down at her hand. "You know if you keep squeezing your cell that hard, you might just break it." He chuckled softly trying to soft the mood.

Kagome loosened her grip on the poor inanimate object, "he told me to call him back in twenty." Kagome took a ridged breathe in, "I honestly think it's all over Inu." Kagome lifted her eyes to stare straight ahead.

Inu Yasha sighed, "if he's stupid enough to let you go, then you obviously deserve better." He stood up and opened the screen door. Before entering he looked back at her, "I might be his brother but even I know he's being a complete idiot." Kagome nodded but never looked back.

Kagome just sat there letting her mind wander to the memories they held together, oh how she wished that she didn't cry herself dry. She took another deep breath in; she looked at her phone again and seriously debated on taking out her pain on the poor unsuspecting device. Kagome leaned back and looked up at the clouds that loomed over. She then returned to her regular position, 'wow even the weather is awful,' Kagome thought as she hugged her knees.

At the very moment, Kagome would have given anything to undo all of the events that took place last night. Oh, how she wished that she had just listened to him and not argued back, the she had just swallowed her pride and bit her tongue. If she had just listened to him and not said anything, she wouldn't be in this mess. Kagome knew that she was at fault, in her mind if she had just been a better girlfriend, he would still be with her. Kagome slowly stood; her joints were stiffening and could feel the invisible force not allowing her to breathe. She slowly walked over to the sidewalk, her bones feeling heavy with every step she took, but she felt the need to walk around. She hated feeling like this, she knew what this feeling was and she didn't like it one bit.

Kagome had a history of severe depression and suffering from it most of her life, she could easily pick out the early signs in herself. She didn't want to have to go through it all over again; she knew that if he were to leave her for good she would lose herself again and that was the last thing she needed. During her walk, Kagome thought of ways to let him know how sorry she was about not listening to him and make sure that she never did it again. As time passed by, Kagome looked at her phone again and noting it had been a half hour since she had last called him. She fumbled with her trying to dial his number as quickly as could, not wanting to make him mad that she didn't call back in time.

Kagome stopped walking and waited for him to pick up, "hello?" She heard him answer.

"H-hey," Kagome stuttered, "so umm, what's going to happen to use?" She held her breath as she waited for his reply.

"I honestly don't know," Sesshomaru, said quietly, "what do you want to happen?"

"I want to stay with you," Kagome whispered back, "just tell me what I did wrong…"

"You kept giving him the phone, you sit beside my brother instead of me, and you talk about me to my own friends." Sesshomaru said harshly.

Kagome winced, "I'm sorry but I can't just listen to her cry." Kagome tried to defend herself.

"So, you'd rather risk our relationship just so she won't cry?" Sesshomaru asked unsympathetically, not caring if his words hurt her.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru and I only sat beside Inu Yasha because you were mad at me," Kagome paused, "and I thought the last thing you wanted is for me to sit beside you."

Sesshomaru sighed, "I'll let you know later what's going on ok?"

Kagome stifled a whimper, "yeah sure, no problem." Kagome heard the sound of him hanging up and took another deep breath in. She honestly didn't know how she could possibly make things better with him, sighing, Kagome slowly made her way back to Miruko's place.

When Kagome got in the house, she found that Kikyo, Inu Yasha's girlfriends, and Kouga, the group's creepy friend, had joined the get together. Seeing Kagome, Kikyo stood quickly and went over to hug her friend, "I'm so sorry Kagome, I didn't mean for you guys to get involved!" Kagome just Kikyo a sad smile and nodded, not really knowing what to say to her.

"Well, you did get them involved," Miruko gave her a cold look then look at Kagome, "so what's going on?"

Kagome shrugged, "he doesn't know, when he does, I will to." She and Kikyo sat down beside Inu Yasha across for Kouga and Miruko. She looked at Miruko, "I'll keep you updated to don't worry." Miruko gave a nod in understand.

"So you and Sesshomaru are over?" Kouga asked a little too interested.

"I'm not sure to tell you the truth." Kagome shrugged. Looking away, she could feel his heated gaze raking her body. She knew that he had a thing for her and she didn't like it one bit, she found him extremely creepy; he also gave her 'raper' vibes. On a couple of occasions he had make it obvious that he developed quite an interest in her. At first, she really didn't care but now she made a decision never to be alone with him in the same room.

Kikyo gave her friend a light hug; she knew she had held some responsibility for what happened between Kagome and Sesshomaru but she knew that he over reacted. Kikyo often wandered why Kagome was even with him or even loved him. She shrugged and looked at Inu Yasha, hugging him; she never wanted them to break up, love him too much. Kikyo sighed; she wished that there were a way she could make it up to Kagome.

Miruko looked at his friend, they had only met through Sesshomaru but he felt like he had known her for a long time. He had no problem asking her to watch the kids and she got long well with everyone, even his wife Sango. He wished his friend wasn't such an idiot for letting this girl go, she was good girl and honestly, he would have liked it better is Sesshomaru had just left her alone. "Does anybody else want a beer?" Miruko offered trying to cut the awkward silence that had enveloped the room.

"I'll have one," Inu Yasha looked over at Kagome and Kikyo, "do you guys want one?" Kikyo nodded and Kagome shook her head no. "Are you sure you don't want one?" Inu Yasha asked concerned. Kagome smiled and nodded her head. Inu Yasha nodded and looked at Kagome, "are you ok?"

Kagome sighed and nodded, "yeah I'll be fine." Inu Yasha gave her look that said he did not believe her, "I promise I'm ok." Kagome said trying to reassure him.

After a couple of hours of trying to dodge Kouga's moves, and just hanging out with her friends Inu Yasha's phone began to ring. "Hello?" Inu Yasha gave Kagome a side-glance telling her it was Sesshomaru, "hey bro, what did you need?"

"Hey can you pick me up?" Sesshomaru asked causally.

"Yeah, no problem bro." Kagome looked at Inu Yasha telling him that she wanted to go too. Inu Yasha gave a silent sigh but never less, nodded in understanding. "Hey, Sesshomaru," Inu Yasha paused, "would you be ok if Kagome is with us when we pick you up?" There was silence on the other side of the phone, "we need to drop her off at home."

Sesshomaru sighed and then replied, "Yeah, whatever, I don't care."

After hanging up, he, Kikyo, and Kagome, got up and headed for the door. He then turned to Miruko and Kouga, "we'll meet up over at my place."

Nodding, Miruko then turned his attention to Kagome, "are you actually going to go home?" Kagome nodded but said nothing to him, "you know you don't have to right?"

Kagome nodded and smiled, "I know but I'm tired and I think it's best if I did go home."

Miruko sighed, "Ok if you say so, but you are welcome to come if you change your mind."

Kagome nodded one last time before turning to the door and exiting the house with Inu Yasha and Kikyo. Once in the car Kikyo looked over at Kagome who was sitting behind the drivers seat, "are you sure you want to come with us?' Kagome nodded as she stared out the window, "I just don't want Inu to get into a fight with Sesshomaru that's call." Biting her tongue, Kagome just nodded instead of flipping out at her friend.

She just wanted to yell at Kikyo, to tell her that she wasn't this worried when it came to her relationship, so why should she give a damn about hers? Slouched in her seat and rested her head against her seat belt, she felt sick and she honestly was rethinking about going with them. As Inu Yasha turned on his music, Kagome was lost in the beat of the song and just paid attention to the lights zooming past her. As the car was pulling over in front of a house, Kagome snapped back into reality, and felt her nerves rush to attention. Sitting up quickly too look out the windshield window and didn't see him anywhere in site.

Kagome slouched in her seat again, pulling down her hat to cover her eyes, pulling her hood over her head and brought down the armrest in the middle. She then rested her head against the seatbelt once more but at angle where you could see her face but she could see through the windows. After a couple of minutes of waiting she saw him walking to the car, her heart beat faster and she seemed to have lost her ability to breath; Kagome took a deep breath in and tried to relax. She could see him come up to the passenger door across from her, opening, sitting down then closing it. To Kagome the world slowed down as he did every little action.

After a couple minutes of an awkward silence Sesshomaru spoke up, "so I go new songs on my phone." Sesshomaru then pulled out his cell phone and started to play different songs. Kagome could feel her heart breaking as he ignored her presence, all she wanted to do now was go home and cry into her pillow.

Then, Kiss Me Through The Phone by Soulja Boy, started to play from his cell phone, their song started to from his phone. Kagome just wanted to yell at him and tell to shove it, to tell him that he was an inconsiderate for playing their in front of her, and lastly, she just wanted to cry as the brought all the pain back. Kagome turned fully to stare out the window to staring at the light, trying to mesmerize herself once more, and keeping her hands to her side so she would not slap him across the face. Kagome then felt a hang grab hers; looking down, she saw said hand being pulled towards the direction of Sesshomaru.
