Chapter 12

The Feud Begins

"Why do you want to make my life miserable? So you can feel better about yours?" Kagome asked her in a pissed off tone. "Faith, I want you out of my house, and I want you out of our lives. Do you understand me? If I catch you trying to do anything to destroy me or my life I will kill you. You won't have a chance to kill me. NOW GET OUT!" Kagome screamed pointing to the door.

"Fine, I'll go, but this won't be the last time that you will see me, you can count on that." Faith said to Kagome and then her attention turned to Inuyasha. "You will be mine yet, just you wait and see. Even if we won't be together we will get together. Trust me; I won't stop until I get want I want. I know that you wanted me once and there will be a time that you will want me again. I can see it in your eyes, the lust, so it won't be too long before you wind up in my bed for a one night stand." Faith said then left.

"I don't know what is wrong with her, but there wasn't, isn't, and there never will be any lust in my eyes for her. You can count on that my love. I will never cheat on you, I will never leave you, and I will never push you away from me. You believe me, don't you Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Yes Inuyasha, I believe you. It's just that what she said hurt. I mean what if she ends up doing what she says? She almost did that tonight, granite she was dressed up like me, but still. I don't want her to succeed, I want her dead, but I don't want to end up in jail because of it. Too bad I wasn't back in ancient times, I could kill her then and no one would miss her."

"Kagome, please settle down. Too much stress isn't good for the baby remember?"

"Yes Inuyasha, I remember, but it's a little hard not to get pissed at her. I mean she stole Hojo from me, and now she wants to get you. I was so stupid to become friends with her again, what was I thinking? Was I drunk or high at the time? I mean it."

"Not to my knowledge my love. I think that you just wanted your old childhood friend back so you blocked out every wrong that she's done to you to make it seem right. But don't think too much on it. You have learned not to trust her again. And now that your guard is up, there is no way that Faith can get past you."

Kagome tried to get past all of this, but she couldn't. She was so stressed out about Faith killing her or stealing Inuyasha from her that she ended up miscarrying her child. That really upset Kagome, and Faith got wind of it, she figured that she had one up on Kagome so she would back off from her for a while. Until she found a fool proof plan to get Inuyasha into bed with her that is.

"Inuyasha, I think I'm going to visit my brother and mother for a while. My mom is actually saddened by the fact that she's not going to have another grandchild. My mom has even made Souta own up to his responsibility, which is a bit surprising. I mean I never thought that it would happen. Anyways, I'm going to be gone a week." Kagome said one day after coming in after work.

"When did this all happen?" Inuyasha asked a bit confused.

"My mom called me at work and invited me over for a week, to apologize for every wrong that she has ever done to me."

"She actually said that?"

"Yeah, I know, it surprised me too."

"Well, it seems important that you go so I won't stop you. I hope you have a good time, call me when you get there and all that stuff." Inuyasha told her acting like he was her father.

"Yes father, I will. And don't worry, I'll tell you everything that happens once I get home." Kagome said noticing his teasing.

"I love you Kagome." Inuyasha said with a smile.

"I love you too Inuyasha. Do you want to help me pack?" Kagome asked hoping that he would since she was going to leave that night for Pittsburg.

"I would if I could, but I called into work. I told them that I would be in right after you got home, just to make sure that you arrived home safely and everything."

"Thank you for doing that for me Inuyasha. I think you are the only person that knows how much loosing our baby has hurt me. It seems like everyone else is too wrapped up in their lives to make time for me anymore. I just wish that you are the only one that cares about me anymore. Oh, if things change to make it so I come home early I'll call you. Anyways, I better start packing, and you better get to work. I'll make you a little something for dinner before I leave okay?"

"Okay, and what time are you planning on starting out?" Inuyasha asked Kagome. He needed to know so he could surprise her with his surprise before she left.

"Um... pretty much right after I'm packed I guess. Which will probably in two or three hours?" Kagome answered him.

"Okay, well I will try and be back before you leave." Inuyasha said hoping that Kagome wasn't catching onto his little secret.

"Okay, I hope to see you. I love you Inuyasha, and I will miss you when I'm gone."

"I'm going to miss you too." Inuyasha said, afterwards Kagome and himself shared a kiss and he left for "work". At least that's where Kagome thought Inuyasha was going at least.

While Kagome was packing her close, Inuyasha was buying Kagome an engagement ring, flowers and chocolates. He didn't have a lot of money to spend, but Inuyasha knew that Kagome wouldn't mind. In her mind Inuyasha spending as much as what he was going to was going to be too much. Once Inuyasha set his eyes on a 24 karat gold engagement ring with a princess cut diamond ring he knew that was going to be the one that he was going to buy. He told the lady behind the counter that he was going to need a 5 and a ½ size ring and she sized it perfectly for him. Then Inuyasha was off to buy Kagome a dozen flowers.

He went to his favorite flower shop and bought them, and the candies as well. He left there with what he hoped was plenty of time to spare. He wanted to make sure that he was going to get back while Kagome was still in the shower or packing, and he did. Kagome was in the shower when he arrived.

He laid the chocolates and the flowers on the bed with a note saying for Kagome to meet him in the living room. When Kagome read the note she didn't bothered to get dressed, she wanted to know why Inuyasha was back from work so soon, and what he had up his sleeve.

"Hello Kagome." Inuyasha said shifting back and forth on his heels when he saw Kagome enter the room.

"Hey, why are you here so soon? I thought that you had to go to work." Kagome questioned him.

"I didn't, I'm sorry that I lied to you Kagome, it's just that you didn't want to spoil my surprise that I had planned for you."

Kagome looked at him with a blank look and asked, "And what would your surprise be Inuyasha?"

"This." Inuyasha knelt down on one knee and said. "Kagome, I know that we've had a rough time, loosing are baby and the bad the shit that we're going through with Faith, but I want you to know that I love you. Kagome, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you do me the honor and become my wife?"

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome said with tears streaming down her face. "I would be a fool to say no. Of course I'll become your wife!"

Inuyasha placed the ring on her finger and they shared a kiss.

"I'm going to call my mom and tell her the good news. I'm also going to tell her that I won't be seeing her after all, I would rather stay here and spend time with you." Kagome said with a huge smile on her face.

Kagome called her mom and told her everything. She was a bit disappointed, but she understood. She would want to do the same thing if she was in her shoes. Mrs. Higurashi told Kagome to just send her an invitation to the wedding and she would make sure that she and Souta would be there.

Author's Note: Sorry that it's a short one, I ran out of good ideas for the chapter. Hopefully I will have a longer chapter for you all next time.
