⌠Hey shut up! At least I made it!■ Yusuke was always quick to defend himself.
Kurama chuckled. ⌠So, what did you need to talk to me about, it sounded pretty urgent on the phone. Did Kuwabara do something to Yukina? Because if he needs a place to hide from Hiei, my apartment isn▓t exactly the safest place.■
Yusuke shook his head. ⌠Actually, it▓s about Kagome. I saw her at the mall today.■
Kurama nodded. ⌠So? She goes to the mall every Saturday with Shippo.■
⌠She wasn▓t with Shippo.■ Yusuke said hesitantly. ⌠She was with another guy.■
Kurama blinked, his anger building. ⌠Again, so? She has guy friends that she goes shopping with, like Koga.■
Yusuke sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. ⌠You▓re not going to make this easy are you? I think she may be cheating on you.■
Kurama stood up from his seat in haste, making other patrons stare at him. ⌠Kagome wouldn▓t cheat on me!■
⌠She hugged the guy and gave him a kiss on the cheek Kurama. She looked really excited about something.■
Kurama threw some money on the table for his untouched coffee and quickly left. Blinded by anger, he jumped into his car and drove quickly to Kagome▓s apartment. She wouldn▓t cheat on him she loved him. Didn▓t she? He parked his car outside her apartment complex and ran up the stairs to her apartment. Pounding on the door, he barely stopped his hand in time when Kagome opened the door and smiled at him. ⌠Hey Kurama, what brings you by today?■
⌠Yusuke said he saw you at the mall today with another guy.■ He said, waiting for her to deny it.
Kagome nodded. ⌠Uh huh. We went shopping.■
Kurama▓s last shred of sanity snapped and he began yelling. ⌠How long has this been going on huh? How long have you been cheating on me?■
⌠Cheating on you, Kurama I▓d never-⌠ Kagome began to defend herself.
⌠I don▓t really care any more Kagome! Am I not enough for you anymore?■ Kurama yelled. ⌠Am I really that bad of a boyfriend that you have to seek comfort in the arms of another man?■
Kagome was clutching herself like a lifeline, tears pouring from eyes as her lover threw accusations at her. ⌠Do you really think that Kurama?■
⌠Yes I do! I love you with every ounce of my being and you feel the need to go behind my back and kiss another man?■ Kurama cried. ⌠Why did you do it Kagome? Why did you betray me?■
⌠HE▓S MY COUSIN!■ Kagome yelled.
The flow of vicious words stopped. ⌠Your cousin?■
Kagome nodded and wiped some of the tears from her eyes. ⌠Yes, my cousin. Remember how me and Kikyo told you about out cousin that treats us like his sisters?■
⌠The businessman?■ Kurama asked.
⌠That▓s the one. This week commemorates the anniversary of the spa opening. It▓s been two years since I started my business and Naraku took me out to celebrate. Like he does every time he visits, Naraku brought me some of the things that I have wanted since I was in college. Like the dress that goes with the shoes you brought me for Christmas.■ Kagome explained. ⌠I had reservations made for next week at Coucagno for us because we haven▓t really spent much time together lately.■
⌠Kagome┘■ Kurama was at a loss for words. He reached out to grab her hands and she pulled away as though burned.
Kagome shook her head allowing a few stray tears to hit the floor. ⌠How could you accuse me of cheating on you?■
⌠I▓m so sorry Kagome. I love you so much┘I just didn▓t think when I heard that you were with another man┘■ Kurama said.
⌠That▓s right, you didn▓t think.■ Kagome said. ⌠I love you too Kurama, but I won▓t get hurt. Please, just go home.■
His heart sunk, he felt so low. ⌠Please Kagome, don▓t let this be the end.■
Kagome bowed her head and pointed to the door. ⌠Please, just go. I▓ll call you in a few days. Maybe.■
Kurama nodded slowly and walked out of the apartment.
Once the door was closed, Kagome sunk to her knees and sobbed.
