'How could I have been so stupid? Why would he ever think of me in that way? I was so stupid!' Tears trickled down Kagome's cheeks as she ran through the hallways of the hospital. She bumped into a doctor, but didn't even bother to help him pick up his things. The world was in complete chaos for Kagome and she didn't know how to stop it. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Kagome reached Inuyasha's room and grabbed her jacket. She quickly turned and left leaving the room full of confused stares. 'I can't do this anymore.'
"Kagome, wait!" Inuyasha hollered after Kagome. He started to run after her but stopped after a few feet. He was already out of breath. Damn that stupid injury. Inuyasha stumbled through the halls frantically trying to reach his room. 'Kagome I'm sorry, please don't leave me. It didn't mean anything.' Inuyasha stumbled in through the door receiving accusing glares from everyone.
"What?" Inuyasha huffed out.
Sango stepped out from the group , anger shining in her dark eyes. "What did you do to Kagome? She just came in and left without saying anything."
"She--um--well--she kind of saw Kikyo and I kissing outside the hospital." Inuyasha fumbled with his words.
"She what!" Miroku exploded. "What were you thinking? This will totally ruin your relationship."
"What relationship?" Inuyasha whispered sadly.
"You know? The one that the whole WORLD believes you're in." Miroku said in an aggravated tone.
"Wait, did you say Kikyo?" Inuyasha's father interrupted.
"I remember her. She was that broad who cheated on Inuyasha with that ugly guy." Sesshomaru said with obvious amusement at remembering the event.
Inuyasha glared at his brother, but then reverted his gaze back to his manager. "Now what?"
"You need to apologize that's what." Sango growled out.
"Sango dear, calm down." Miroku soothed, but heonly received a growl. "Hehe, anyways, Inuyasha you need to make things right again."
"That's a great opinion an everything, but how the hell am I supposed to do that?"
"I don't know, but you better hurry because you two need to be seen at the National Actors Association Awards tomorrow night." Miroku said.
"Ugh!" Inuyasha grunted angrily. "She won't listen to me! Do you have any idea how stubborn she is?"
"We don't care. You need to talk to her." Sango said in a what are you waiting for tone. "Whatever, I can't be here anymore." Sango walked out of the room in frustration.
"Well, I guess its off to the hotel then." Inuyasha's father said to break the tension. Inuyasha sighed. 'Maybe Kagome will be there for work. Then I can TRY to talk to her. Like she'll listen.'
After much yelling and words that weren't for children's ears, the group finally got Inuyasha out of the hospital.
Brrrrrrriiiing
"Ugh, go away bogey man." Kagome said groogily as she swatted at the clock. Kagome got up and yawned. The events of yesterday flooding her memory. A scowl crossed her feature as she got out of bed and started to get ready for work. "I swear if I get Inuyasha's room I'll scream." Kagome told herself as she walked out of her condo.
"Yo Kagome you have Inuyasha's room today! Do it before lunch!" Lucy, one of the older maids, yelled at Kagome before she went out the doors to take her break.
Kagome was lounging on the lobby's couch as she heard this. She immediately grabbed the nearest pillow and screamed with all her might into it. Kagome took a deep calming breath and got up as if nothing had happened. 'This should be so much fun.' Kagome shoulders slumped and she trudged her way toward the elevator. 'Why me?' Kagome reached Inuyasha's door and hesitated to go in. 'Just go in and get out.' With a deep breath she pulled the handle and entered his room cautiously. She immediately started cleaning, ignoring everything he might say, but there was no sound for five minutes. 'He musthave gone out.' Kagome sighed a huge breath of relief. She continued to clean until it was spotless once again. 'He sure is a slob.' Kagome gathered her things in a hurry and rushed out the door. 'Ok, now just get out before you bump into--' Of course, as fate would have it, Kagome bumped into a large, hard object. Kagome raised her eyes hoping to whatever higher power was up there that it wouldn't be Inuyasha. 'him' Kagome finished her original thought.
"We gotta stop meeting like this Kags." His cocky tone ringed through the hall.
Kagome pushed herself up and out of Inuyasha's grip. "Don't call me Kags."
Inuyasha body language immediately became tense. "So-"
"Don't you dare apologize to me." Kagome cut him off. "I can't believe I actually trusted you. Just leave me alone, I can't talk to you." Kagome turned to go, but was stopped by a hand.
"Kagome , listen, you have to believe me. That kiss meant nothing. It was just an ex who can't get over the fact that I don't ever want to see her face again! She just came onto me and..."
"You could have stopped her!" Kagome screamed out. Her body was shaking from the emotion. 'I'm not going to cry.'
Inuyasha was starting to get irritated. He was trying to keep himself from exploding at the girl in front of him. "Whatever! Yah know, I have the decency to apologize and give you a pretty good reason to explain what happened, yet all you can do is bitch at me!"
Kagome glared at Inuyasha through her pretty brown eyes. The look of hurt and betrayal cut through Inuyasha once again. He sighed. "Look, I know this isn't the best time to be talking to you. I would have given you some time to deal with this, but Miroku reminded me this morning that we have to be at the stupid National Actors Association Awards tonight."
Kagome was annoyed now. "And just how am I supposed to act all couply with you tonight after all of this crap?"
"I don't know, but please, just try. I swear you can beat me over the head with a blunt object as soon as we get back." Inuyasha offered with a smile.
Kagome smirked, but quickly covered it up and went back to being emotionless. "Whatever, just get this straight, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for everyone else that I care about, who wants me to be there!" And with that Kagome turned and was soon out of sight.
"Pick you up at six!" Inuyasha called out after her. Inuyasha smiled. He had gotten Kagome to do the impossible after what had happened. Maybe they did stand a chance as a couple.
Miroku and Inuyasha were at Kagome's house just before six. Both of the guys decked out in tuxes and shiny black shoes. The plan was to meet Sango and Kagome after they had done all of their 'girly' stuff. Why did girls need so much time to get ready anyway? It just confused the two guys.
"Ready?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha took a deep breath. "Yeah, sure. I mean what could possible go wrong right?"
Miroku shrugged and knocked on the door.
"Kagome the guys are here! Hurry up woman!" Sango yelled from the living room.
"Coming!" Kagome ran out of the bathroom and into the living room where Sango was waiting. She looked nervous.
"You ok." Sango asked with a worried look.
"Yeah, I'll be ok." Sango smiled at her friend and opened the door.
Both of the guy's jaws immediately dropped to the ground. They looked stunning. Sango had on a beautiful purple flowing dress, with a bow in the back. Her hair was up in a neat bun with purple ribbons coursing down her back. Kagome wore a light blue dress with a matching shawl. Her hair was down and wavy with a blue pin on either side of her ears. Miroku linked arms with Sango as did Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Thats as close as your getting into my personal space tonight pervert."
Miroku chuckled. "Of course Sango dearest."
Inuyasha and Kagome remained silent as they walked to the limo. Soon they were at the hotel where the awards show was to be hosted. Miroku and Sango were already out as Inuyasha held the door open for Kagome. "Ready to be a couple?"
Kagome gave a small smile. "Yeah."
As soon as Kagome got out of the car the cameras and reporters flashed around everywhere. Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome and she leaned into him for the photographers as they walked down the red carpet in front of them. The fans on the other end were screaming loudly. "Awww! Look at them! They're so cute!"
Inuyasha noticed Kagome shaking a bit. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered. "Doing ok?"
Kagome shook the shiver away from her body from having Inuyasha so close. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a lot to take in."
She heard inuyasha chuckle lowly. "Yeah, sometimes it is." He flashed another smile towards the camera. "Maybe next time we can put on a more lusty or romantic show for the reporters. I know you don't feel up to it now."
Kagome stopped in her tracks bringing Inuyasha with her. "Try me."
Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow in her direction and smirked. Why did he have to be so sexy when she was trying to be mad at him? "Ok then." Inuyasha was suddenly mere inches from Kagome's face. Both of his hands encircled her waist now as he pulled Kagome closer. Kagome let out a shaky breath. He was so close to kissing her. And then, it happened. Inuyasha closed the gap between them and slowly kissed her. His lips caressed Kagome's begging for entrance. Kagome opened her mouth and moaned as his tounge played with hers. Inuyasha moaned back as the kiss became more hungry. All over the red carpet was silence as the whole world watched them kiss. Then a gigantic roar washed over everyone as fans screamed and catcalled, while the reporters had a field day. This definitely would make the tabloids. After what seemed like an eternity Inuyasha pulled back. He smiled at Kagome whose eyes were still closed. "I hope you can forgive me." Inuyasha whispered quietly. Kagome's eyelids fluttered open with deep sadness and guilt, but before she could say anything Inuyasha was pulling her into the hotel to see the awards. In the shadows a figure was watching. This would be the night where all games were over. This was the real deal. Tonight was gonna be a party for Kikyo.
And the award for Best Newcomer For A Film are: Houjo Kun, Eric Randolf, Inuyasha Takahashi, and William Mosphere. The crowd went silent as the tension in the air thickened. Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha all sat at a table towards the left of the stage. Every single one of them holding their breath.
"And the award goes to...Inuyasha Takahashi!" The crowd seemed to erupt with screams and yells of joy. Especially from the fan girls.
Sango and Miroku jumped out of their chairs and in the heat of the moment grabbed each other and huggedtill neither of them could breath. Inuyasha and Kagome were jumping with happiness. Inuyasha suddenly felt small arms wrap around him and pull him in for a hug. "Congratulations, you earned it." Kagome told him sincerely.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and just enjoyed the moment. "Thanks, stay here, I'll call you up with me after my speech ok."
Kagome pulled back and smiled sheepishly. "Ok, but this doesn't mean your off the hook and totally forgiven."
Inuyasha started to walk away. "Yeah, I know, but it's a start. Besides, who couldn't eventually forgive someone as loveable as me?" Kagome rolled her eyes ,but couldn't help smiling.
"Come on lovebirds." Inuyasha said as he tapped Miroku and Sango, who were still wrapped up in each others arms. Sango's eyes shot wide open and she jumped out of his embrace. Miroku grinned evilly. Sango blushed and followed Inuyasha not saying anything.
"See, she can't resist me." Miroku said in triumph as he followed the pair. Kagome giggled.
Kagome watched her friends and Inuyasha walk on stage. "Hey everyone!" The fans cheered. "This is awesome! I don't know what to say. Of course I want to thank all the fans who watched my movies, my manager, and Sango." He gestured towards the pair standing next to him. "Without Sango I don't think Kamgome would have put up with me." The crowd laughed at the joke. "My brother and dad, who couldn't make it tonight, thank you for supporting me and getting me started. And last but not least I want to thank the most important peron in my life right now, Kagome Higurashi, come on up here babe!" The crowd cheered loudly and Inuyasha directed his gaze to where Kagome was supposed to be. 'What...' Her chair was tipped over and her purse was still there. The crowd got quiet and started turning their heads to find Kagome, but with no luck. Inuyasha panicked. Where was she?
