Disclaimer: I do not own most of the character's used in this so don't turn me in for fraud or anything please.

What has gone on before: Kagome just found out that her boyfriend of two and a half years, Hojo, had been cheating on her with her best friend Faith none the less. We rejoin Kagome and Inuyasha at his house in his kitchen. Kagome is very curious about the secrets that Inuyasha wants to hide.

Chapter 2

A New Love?

"Are you sure that you don't want to tell me?" Kagome asked Inuyasha hoping that he would change his mind.

"Yes, I'm sure that I don't want to tell you right now. At the moment I'm too worried about what my secrets might do. Besides you and Hojo just broke up and I don't want to take advantage of you, or for you to think that's what I'm trying to do. So please, let me keep them to myself for now. As soon as I'm ready to tell you you'll definitely be the first one to know."

Kagome laughed, "Okay Inuyasha, I'll let you keep your secrets. Do you mind driving me back to my house? I would like to get cleaned up and dressed. Besides, you have plans with Sesshomaru later today and I would rather not be here when he arrives."

"Kagome, if you want I can cancel my plans with him so I continue to be here for you through your healing process."

"It's okay, that won't be necessary. Besides, you and your brother don't have the best relationship due to the fact that your father left his mother to be with yours. Wow, is it just me or was that a little confusing?"

"Yeah, it's a bit confusing. All my life I thought that Sesshomaru and I had the same mother until my parents died. Then Sesshomaru told me the truth, and I ended up crying for days. Knowing that my older brother, my only family at that point, hated me and always would. That, in his words, our father would keep his 'one eyed snake' in his pants I would never be here and things would be perfect and father would have never died."

"At least you knew your father. I'm pretty sure that mine left my mother, or he died. But I'm pretty sure that he's still alive. I don't even know anything about him. Grandfather was my only father figure in my life, and whenever I would skip school he would always give these lame excuses about why I wasn't there. Most of the time he would give his illnesses only because he couldn't think of anything else."

Inuyasha laughed, "Yeah, I remember that. I would call after school since I would get your homework and he would always say the weirdest things. Half the time I didn't know what he was talking about."

"And then there were the times that we would skip together and Faith would be the one having to listen to the weird ailments. I remember in the seventh grade she thought that I was dying from one because her grandfather recently died from having it. My grandfather flipped out after hearing that one because he thought that he was going to die from it too." Kagome laughed. "Those were good times, before that little whore had to get into my boyfriends pants. And I have to be a moron because I was even thinking about marring that bastard."

"Well at least you found out the truth before you did. You have to be grateful for that."

"Believe me, I am. I can just imagine coming home from work and seeing those two in the middle of 'the act'. Either that or he would have moved onto someone new by then."

"Well do you want to know what I think? I think that you should stop thinking about it. I don't think it's good for you to be dwelling on it. Have you told your mom yet?"

"Hell no! She thought that Hojo was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Knowing how my mother has been acting lately she'll never believe me. She'll think that it's my fault. She might even throw in something like I should have been pleasuring Hojo more and it would have never happened. Damn that woman is a bitch!"

"Why do you think she's started to act this way?"

"I think it's all because Souta got a girl pregnant and he's not stepping up to be the father. He's signed over his parental rights already. It's really sad because his daughter is so adorable. That's why my heart is so set on my father let my mother. Why else would she get so upset about this otherwise? I mean its Souta's life. If he doesn't want to take care of his responsibilities that's his choice. Let him deal with being how he chooses to be in the long run."

"I didn't know that he had a daughter. I always thought that his equipment was too small to be any good for that type of thing."

"Inuyasha!"

"What? We used to pick on your brother all the time. We would even call him gay because he never got a girlfriend until he was a senior in high school."

"Ha, I remember that. I also remember him losing his virginity to Faith."

"What?!"

"Yeah, that's why he was so popular as a senior. It's all because he ended up losing his virginity to an older chick. I guess she was a whore even back then but I was too stupid to see it."

"Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault that she's easy."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyways, I'm gonna go get dressed and then we can go."

Before Inuyasha could answer her, Kagome had gotten up from the table and started to her way to Inuyasha's bedroom."

"Yeah Kagome, that would be fine." Inuyasha said to himself. The he thought, "Maybe I should tell her. I mean I don't expect her to be like 'Inuyasha I like you like that too' or anything. And then she can do whatever she wants with the information. But what if she wants to end or friendship because of it? No, no, no Inuyasha! You can't tell her now and that being the reason for it. I can't lose her as a friend. I would rather be just her friend for all eternity than nothing at all. Just give a few months to heal and then tell her. If you don't you might lose her forever." "Yeah, that's what I have to do." Inuyasha said agreeing with himself.

Kagome had reentered the kitchen at that point and asked Inuyasha what he meant. He simply told her that he decided when he was going to tell her his secrets and that she would have to wait a few months to find out what he's been hiding from her for far too long, and it would be longer still before she knew the truth.

"A few months?!" Kagome exclaimed hearing the news.

"Take it or leave it. Do you want to know or can you live without knowing?"

"I do want to know, and I did tell you that I would let you tell me when you were ready so I guess I'll have to wait those months to find out whatever it is that you want to tell me."

"Thank you. So are you ready to go now?"

"Yeah, let's go. Oh, and I was thinking that if you wanted to check on me after you plans with Sesshomaru were finished I would let you."

"Okay, then I guess I will."

Kagome and Inuyasha smiled to each other and then left the house and got into Inuyasha's car, a red Porsche. The car ride was silent for the most part. Kagome really didn't feel like talking and the only thing that Inuyasha wanted to talk about was how he felt about his best friend so he decided that things were better left quite.

"Thanks for the ride Inuyasha." Kagome said once he had pulled into her driveway.

"Don't mention it Kagome. You should know that I would do anything for you."

"Good! Because I need to pick up my car from the repair shop tomorrow and I was hoping that if you weren't busy you could take me? I'll even give you gas money."

"I'll take you, as long as you don't give me gas money. But it has to be early in the morning because I have to be at work at a quarter to one."

"Okay, I'll call you once I'm ready."

"Okay, sounds like a plan.'

"Thanks for the ride again Inuyasha, and I'll see you later today or tomorrow." Kagome said as she shut her door. Then before Inuyasha pulled out of her driveway she stuck her head through the open passenger side window and said, "Thanks for being a great friend. I don't know what I would do if you weren't in my life." Kagome then blew Inuyasha a kiss and walked to her door. She waited and waved good bye until Inuyasha had left the driveway and was on his way back to his house. Kagome said to herself silently, "If only he knew what I really felt about him." Kagome let out a sigh and went inside her house.

Kagome went to the bathroom so she could shower and then got dressed in sweats. She felt like being lazy, she had just gotten her heart broken after all. Once Kagome had entered her living room she noticed that it was two o'clock. Her favorite soap opera was starting, Passions. "I can't believe that they are canceling it come September. This has to be one of the best soap operas EVER!"

Once her soap was over she grabbed one of her memory books of just her and Inuyasha and began to look at the pictures. "If only you would have made a move before Hojo did. I wouldn't have dated him. Wow, I'm starting to sound like he likes me more than a friend. Who am I kidding? If he liked me more than a friend he would have taken this opportunity of telling me how he truly feels about me. I guess it's time for me to move on and forget about this decade crush." Kagome grabbed her pack or Marlboro's and began to smoke one of her cigarettes. She was feeling down and depressed again and smoking always seemed to help brighten her day. "Why doesn't he like me more than a friend? I just don't understand it. I could have sworn that he did at one point in time. But maybe me dating Hojo changed all of that. Maybe he did like me more than a friend before I started dating that loser. If that's why then I wish I could go back and change all of it. Maybe I should tell him how I feel, but if I would he would probably only using him on the rebound and I'm not. He might even end our friendship if he knew how I really felt and didn't have those feelings in return. Yeah, I think that its best that I forget about him and what could have been. I'm going to call Eri and see if she and the girls want to go bar hopping to try and cheer me up."

Author's Note: Sorry that this chapter is shorter. It's just that I couldn't think of anything else to add to it to make it longer. Don't be surprised if it takes me a week or so to post a new one. I'm starting to get a bit of writer's block.
