Chapter 3: He's Just Like Water

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other anime characters

The water was warm and shimmered under the sun's gaze. Bird's chirped and the tree's swayed as the wind blew. It was just so…peaceful. 'I'm glad I chose this day to spend with my friends, even though I'd rather a certain person not be here. I'm not going to think about how Kikyo is joining us today, I'm not going to think about how Inuyasha lays near her, and I'm not going to think about my problems. I'm going to let them float away, to not be thought of until I am alone and ready to confront them. Right now I just want to relax and be with my friends,' She thought as she let her hands float in the water.

"Hey, Kagome! Wake up!" Inuyasha harshly shouted. The carefree look upon her face was quickly changed to a scowl as the peace and quiet was turned into loud and noisy.

"I'm awake. Just trying to relax! Something you would know about if you kept your mouth closed for once," She mumbled that last part as she walked over to the edge of the pool. Placing her hands on the edge she lifted her self out while bringing a wave of water on to the deck. Her tanned feet slapped against the rock like floor as she walked towards the lounging chairs, stopping at the one Inuyasha laid on.

She let her eyes roll down his body looking at his features. Silver rough hair, puppy ears that twitched slightly, a toned tanned body, legs crossed, hands behind his head. To top off the bad boy look he wore dark sun glasses making him look almost mysterious and untouchable.

"What the hell!" He yelled as a ton of water was splashed on him. He glared towards the petite body that ran in the house. To get him back she would always ring her hair out onto him.

'Man do I hate it when she does that,' his glare softened as he turned from Kagome to Kikyo, ' They are so alike and yet so different. Their outer appearance looks the same but their hearts are totally different. Kagome is like the weather. Never know what your going to get. With Kikyo its like being in the eye of the hurricane. Quiet, calm, uncertainty on what to expect. Will I get the storm? Or will I be safe from her wrath?' he laid back and looked at the sky,

' Sometimes I wish I could just have Kagome, and other times I wish I could have Kikyo. If it were not for those damn bastards' his thought were then cut off as he heard Kikyo get up and go to the pools edge. ' One way or another I'll get her, she'll be mine. I just got to get her to let go of that bastard and forget him. Then we can be happy.'

A smile graced his face as he got up and went over to sit with Kikyo. He slowly and as lightly as possible placed his hand on hers. The wind blew her hair into her face as she turned to him. Her face hard and cold, but her eyes softened as if to let him know that it was ok.

" What to drink, what to drink…" could be heard mumbled by a figure with their head in the fridge. "Water? Soda? Lemonade? Iced Tea? Gahhh, just too many choices. Hmm, maybe I'll," her words were cut off as she heard a bang. She rose from her bowing position in front of the fridge to listen closer.

Bump. Bump. Bump

'There it goes again. It's coming from upstairs. It's like something is hitting the wall. Maybe I should check it out,' her thoughts only intensified as she heard it again. Closing the fridge she left the kitchen and went to the staircase.

'On the other hand maybe I shouldn't check it out. I think I know what it is…but, its only going to make me more curious if I don't go and check. This might scar me for the rest of my teenage years' her thoughts stopped once she noticed she was upstairs. Hearing it come from the guest room she let her feet guide her to the end of the hall.

The cherry wood door was slightly open, leaving an inch gap. 'It couldn't be Inuyasha and Kikyo, they couldn't have come in with out me noticing. Could they?' She stared at the gap, deciding whether or not to look.

Making up her mind, with a bad feeling in her gut that she wasn't going to like what she saw, she slowly leaned forwards to take a peep. 'Please don't let it be Inuyasha and Kikyo..' she gasped almost inaudibly. ' Oh my gosh, this couldn't really be happening could it?' A hand shot up to her open mouth as she looked on in horror and in amusement.

She flung her body back to keep her from watching and longer. Softly hitting the wall she slid down until her bottom and the floor met. Flashes of the past went through her mind…

He grabbed her and pulled her to him so that her chest fell on top of him, which caused her to unconsciously straddle his hips…she shook her head to get ride of the pictures but they just wouldn't go away…

With out warning he ripped the sides of her underwear, causing a gasp from her parted lips, and unbuttoned his pants. Her mind was in some sort of daze as her underwear was ripped...

She lowered her head and brought her knees to her body as a tear rolled down her face…

'Why? Why did you do that?'

"I can not believe that you could ever think to throw this offer away! It'll bring you to the top. It'll have your business soaring to the heavens, while raking in the money. Of course I will need to be getting at least 30, but trust me you won't even notice that your giving me 30" a cheesy smile was plastered on the business man's face as he stood in front of the President and Vice President of Silver Sky's.

"Believe it. Why would we need an offer such as yours that will do nothing for us? We are already at the top. You should know, but if you don't let me tell you, we are one of the top business companies in the world. All your offer would do for us is give you money" his eyes never wavered only hardened, " Leave" was the last thing he said before security guards came in and escorted the man out.

"Don't be so hard on them. They are just trying to make a living," wise eyes turned from the door to the young man that stood in front of the window.

"I wouldn't make it hard on them if they wouldn't waste my time" his words came out evenly and right to the point.

"Maybe you shouldn't have the power to choose what business offers should or shouldn't happen. You have turned down all that have came here in the past two weeks" his voice became stern as he looked at his son, before turning and leaving.

"Hn" was the only thing that left his mouth as he watched the door close from the corner of his eye. With his arms behind his back, Sesshomaru stared up at the blue sky.

'Blue like her eyes' his eyes widened when he realized what he thought, ' I shouldn't be thinking of her. She's nothing to me. Nothing more than a let down. I should have never fell for her, never should have loved her the way I did. She made me soft and it has taken me six months to become distant, cold, and uncaring. To become what I was before I met her or knew her,' his hair swayed from side to side as he slightly tilted his head.

"She is nothing but my brother's whore," he spoke softly as picked up a glass of water, "and that's why I damn her to hell!" He spoke harshly as he threw the glass at the window. The glass shattered and left a crack in wall sized window.
A puddle formed before be sucked into the rug leaving a wet stain. Not satisfied with the outcome, he placed his hand on his chair and with out so much as a blink of his eyes, the chair was flung out the window, falling twenty-three feet before crashing onto the road. Cars swerved and crashed into each other. Horns beeped and people yelled. He walked over to the window and looked up to the sky, a blank expression upon his face.

'Why…did you do what you did?'

More tears fell as she thought of him. Deciding to not sit there any longer and think on the past she quickly got up and sped down the stairs and outside. With out even thinking she ran full speed towards the pool.

Splash.

Cold water surrounded her. Bubbles rose to the surface as she sat at the bottom of the pool. All of this love around her was killing her or maybe it was from being under the water too long. Not being able to handle it any longer, she shot up to the surface. Water flew everywhere splashing the people that stood at the edge.

"Kagome are you alright? Surely you know you have been under too long" concern could be heard in his voice as he spoke. They had ran to the edge after coming from in the house and watching Kagome fly into the pool.

"Kagome please say something, are you hurt or in pain? You flew into the pool pretty fast," another voice of concern drifted towards her.

"Yeah wench, nice going. That was a weak ass dive," she could hear the scowl in his voice.

"Miroku…Sango…Inuyasha, don't worry I'm fine. I just remembered something.." her voice faded out as she floated on the water. Staring up at the sky she thought, ' What they were doing, reminded me off that night. In the field. Where I found him covered in snow…

Deep golden eyes looked up words as if to be looking for something, with arms out horizontally and legs forming a "V". His hair blended in with the snow almost perfectly and surrounded his peaceful face, contrasting deeply with the pink on his nose and cheeks, and his parted lip…

What happened between me and him, it was something I will never forget. No matter how much I want to, no matter how much it hurts me to remember it, he's gone and out of my life for good' she laughed lightly as the water sloshed against the edge of the pool, 'I hate and love a man who is like water. He listens to no one and although he may look approachable at times in a quick second he could drown you, and not care.' Her smile got bigger as she looked at the storm clouds rolling in and with out any warning to the people who stared at her she started to laugh and cry at the same time.

His things were being packed and sent to another office. It was too dangerous for him to be in a room that had a wall sized hole in it. He scoffed at this.

'Like I would die if I fell out of the window' his eyes narrowed, 'Besides why would I fall out, I'm not Inuyasha,' a smirk formed on his lips, 'to bad, could have thrown Jaken out the window and said it was an accident.' People jumped out of his way when they noticed the look on his face. Taking a left, he entered his new office and slammed the door. He growled softly when he noticed the color of the rug. Blue. A blue rug. The same color that caused him to break the window in the first place.

'Maybe I am in need of a vacation.' Without a second thought he called his secretary and ordered her to set up a flight to the states.

'Yes a very long vacation is needed.'
