Hey there people! This is my new story called love lost. It is an Alternate Universe story where again our characters are themselves.
Inuyasha is hanyou and Koga/ Sesshomaru/ Shippo/ Kilala are all youkai. (If/when they come into it.)

Please don't hate me! I love Inuyasha and Kagome pairings but I decided that for once I would try and write her with someone else.
Notice I said try… I don't know how it will turn out.

SUMMARY: Kagome and Inuyasha were in love and together for two years until someone comes into the mix and messes it up.
Kagome is heartbroken. It is up to her friends to help her through this... and with girls that usually means - get another boyfriend.
Who will Kagome end up with? Who will her friends end up with?


CHAPTER TWO

Dragging her feet Kagome walked the couple of blocks to her apartment. Its times like this that I'm glad that I don't live on campus, she thought sadly
as she kicked a small stone onto the road. Instead I get to live with my best friend in a two bedroom apartment.

With a sigh Kagome went up the stairs to her apartment two at a time, the backpack she was carrying bumping against her legs as she hurried up the winding stairs.
She couldn't help but grumble quietly that the owners of the apartment had never thought to build an elevator for the building, though it was good exercise.

As she reached the front door she shrugged the backpack off her shoulder and by the door and then started fumbling through her hand bag for her door keys.
She was starting to despair as tears started to trickle down her cheeks, but she angrily brushed them away. After a few choice swear words she tipped her handbag
over, so that everything was sprawled on the floor and continued the search through it when the door was thrown dramatically open. She glanced up and was surprised
to see Sango, her flamboyant best friend and roommate, was back and standing there silently laughing at her.

"So University was more hectic than normal?" Sango asked her dark eyes sparkling with laughter as she raised her eyebrow in question. "I know that you're unorganized
Kagome, but even you aren't usually this bad!"

"Don't even start," Kagome whimpered as she bent over and threw her backpack over her shoulder before she scooped up the contents of her handbag and shoved
them back in, she would organize it later. "Today was an absolute nightmare from beginning to end!" she moaned loudly as she stalked into the apartment, with her
friend was close on her heels. She stalked straight into her bedroom, dropped her backpack on the ground and her handbag onto the desk before she flopped down
onto the bed.

"Oh come on Kags, you're being overly dramatic. It couldn't have been that bad!" Sango told her sternly, as she sat down on the bed beside a distressed Kagome.

"It was worse," Kagome said tearfully, her golden brown eyes filling with tears which for once she didn't angrily dash away; instead she buried he face into her pillow
and said in a muffled voice, "It was absolutely horrible!"

"Come on Kagome," Sango said softly as she patted her friend on the shoulder, trying to console her. Though she wasn't exactly sure what she was consoling her
about. "You can tell me… it will make you feel better."

Kagome looked up at Sango with slightly puffy, watery eyes and sniffled noisily, "Nothing will ever make me feel better ever again. And I mean it this time."

"Talking always helps," Sango said with a small smile. "You'll see; you'll feel much better afterwards."

"I don't know…" she said wrapping her arms around her waist, Sango looked at her encouragingly. "It was Inuyasha…" she mumbled into the pillow. Sango had to
strain her ears to hear what she had said.

"Inuyasha?" Sango questioned, still slightly confused about why her friend was upset. "Did he forget your anniversary?" she asked sympathetically.

"Oh, he remembered it alright," she said he eyes turning to stone while a humorless smile played on her lips. "I got a present I'll remember my whole life, I'm not sure
if it was what he was planning on giving me though."

"What do you mean?" Sango asked puzzled, if not a little freaked at how her friend was acting. It was totally not like Kagome to act like this.

"He was with her," she said icily.

"Sorry, but I'm not really following this," Sango said apologetically.

"Inuyasha was with Kikyo!" Kagome yelled and punched the pillow in front of her then burst into tears once again. The scene started playing in front of her again, and
no matter what she did she couldn't change what happened or stop it from parading across her eyes, whether they were open or closed. And as she replayed the scene
in her mind, she told Sango what had happened…

"Oh you poor thing!" Sango said giving her friend a warm hug. Though her eyes had narrowed and grown cold as she silently wondered what horrible thing she could
do to him and Kikyo to get them back. Nobody deserved this, but especially not Kagome! "Are you going to be ok?" Sango asked gently.

Kagome nodded and forced a slight smile, "I will get over it. I'm just going to go and have a shower."

Sango watched her friend walk away with a frown. Kagome said she was going to be okay but I'm not so sure… Kagome's such a sweet and sensitive girl,
though you have to get past her initial coldness and barriers to see it, which wasn't as difficult for girls as guys.
Sango massaged her temples as she felt the
beginning of a headache; it worried her that this had happened. Inuyasha was the first and only guy that Kagome ever cared about…for him to do this to her
it might send her back to how she used to be.

-------------------------------

"So are we having a girl night?" Sango called as she walked out of the bathroom, her dark brown hair down and wearing her Pajamas, light pink sweat pants and a
matching pin strap top.

"I guess so," Kagome said with a slight smile from where she was sitting in front of the TV wearing a knee length pale green nightdress. "Do we have anything to eat
or any movies?" she asked.

"That's what friends are for," Sango said with a grin. "So I can call the rest of the gang?" Sango asked holding her mobile phone. Kagome laughed and rolled her eyes,

"You had better they would never forgive us if we left them out," she said mock seriously and momentarily forgetting that she was upset. "After all we need them to bring
movies, ice cream and chocolate!" Sango laughed at the comment and moved slightly away from Kagome, so that she could explain what happened without upsetting her again.

'Hey Kilala," Sango said softly her dark gaze still filled with worry. "I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight?"

"Mm… not that I know of," Kilala said into the phone that was being held in place by her shoulder blade as she pushed her pale bangs out of her eyes and off her face.
"I was planning on having a lazy night, why?"

"Well Kagome is really down because she caught Inuyasha cheating on her with Kikyo," Sango explained softly after making sure that Kagome couldn't hear her.

"SHE CAUGHT HIM DOING WHAT? WITH WHO!" Kilala exclaimed angrily. "AND ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY!"

"Kikyo…." Sango started only to be interrupted by her upset friend.

"Kikyo! Why that little snake!" She hissed. "I'm gonna kill him and Kikyo too!"

"Uh… well I want to kill them too," Sango said. "But as much as I want to it isn't going to help Kagome right now is it?"

"I guess not," Kilala said with a sigh then brightened up as a thought crossed her mind. "So does this mean girl night?"

"Yep," Sango said enthusiastically. "Kagome said we need movies, ice cream and chocolate… so if you could call Ayame and Rin and each of you brought one of those
over we will be set. We have popcorn and drinks."

"Sure I'll do that," Kilala said happily. "We'll be there soon!"

-----------------------------

"I'm here!" called Ayame as she knocked loudly on the front door. "Can you hear me?"

"Yes I can hear you," Kagome called back as she placed the glasses on the table near the TV. "Sango! They're here!"

"I'm in the bathroom!" she called back.

"Are you gonna let me in?" Ayame asked with a laugh.

"Just a minute!" Kagome called as she got placed the last glass on the table and finished placing the last bowl of popcorn on the table. Then ran to the door to answer it,
"Hi guys!" she said with a grin as she swung the door open.

"What took you so long?" Ayame asked grinning as she pushed some auburn coloured hair out of her eyes.

"Well if you're going to be like that you can go again," Kagome said with a pout and went to close the door again.

"Okay I'll just take this home with me," Ayame said her green eyes flashing with mischief, holding the blocks of chocolate in front of her.

"Chocolate!" Kagome cried as she pounced on her friend, knocking her to the floor and pried the chocolate from her grasp. "Ah, chocolate! My best friend."

"Hey I thought we were your best friends," Ayame protested with a laugh.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked with a straight face. "Oh right you're the chocolate person!" Ayame rolled her eyes at that comment.

At that moment Sango walked in to see Kagome still crouched over Ayame's fallen form and cradling the chocolate. "Kagome what are you doing?"

"Getting the chocolate," she said with a grin as she stood up and walked into the kitchen to break it up and put it in a bowl. Sango grinned and shook her
head at Kagome, then held out a hand to help Ayame back up.

"Well that's the last time I threaten to take the chocolate home with me," Ayame said ruefully. "So am I the first one here?" Sango nodded and Ayame grabbed
her bag from where she had dropped it, "I'm going to go get into my pajamas!" she said and walked into one of the bedrooms to change just as another knock
came from the door.

"I'll get that," Sango said to no one in particular as she opened the door to both Kilala and Rin. Who bared gifts of movies and ice cream! "Yes chocolate fudge
ice cream!" she exclaimed when she saw the flavour.
