Well, here's chapter two of It Kills Me. Hopefully, I get more reviews for this one.

How Do You Find A Cure For This Pain?

So, here I am, standing in a hallway at school after the girl I loved more than any other that attracted me, told me she was in an arranged marriage.

With someone that wasn't me.

Kagome's expression was fierce. She was pissed. "Grandpa sprung this on me, he said that I'm supposed to marry Hojo."

I feel myself scowling, which I hadn't even done on purpose. Of all people, it HAD to be Hojo! Hojo who had been trying to date her for years, even while we were dating, dense Hojo who wouldn't take a hint and leave her the hell alone!

And ain't this about a bitch, that in the end, he gets what he wants?

" Are you going to go through with it?" I manage to say, in a voice that doesn't even sound like my own. The shitty way that I'm feeling now, I can't even name. Sad? Angry?

Kagome frowns and leans against the wall, pulling away from me. " At the moment, I don't have much of a choice. My family insists that I do this, for whatever odd reason, so maybe for now I have to adjust to some things until I can find a way out of it."

I feel myself getting more pissed by the moment. Why was she so calm about this? Why wasn't she ready to just start bawling like I was?! It was as if the past two years meant nothing to her, like it would be so easy for her to let me go.

" Why are you so calm? Why aren't you feeling so pissed off like I am?!" I yell at her.

Her expression doesn't change. "I never said I wasn't feeling bad about this, Inuyasha, its just that for now, I have to do what my family wants me to, I can't go against them-

"Not even for me?!"

Right then, its as if she didn't even need to answer. But, she did. And I didn't like it.

"I'm sorry. We can't be together right now, until this stupid marriage is forgotten about." She says, and after that its quiet between us.

We're just standing in the hallway no one speaking, no one moving. Then, she straightens up against the wall, and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

Right now, the kiss means almost nothing. Its as innocent as a friendly one as if I had never had her in a serious situation, like I was some stupid fifth grade crush.

I glance into her eyes, and she's pained, but she's also calm. More calm than anything. This is really pissing me off.

"I'm sorry I can't be with you." She says, and walks off down the hallway leading to all the classrooms.

I can't even really process what I'm feeling before I call out to her.

"Thats it?! You're just gonna leave me like we had nothing?! A complication comes up, and you bail!" I scream down the hallway.

She stops. She stands there with her back turned to me, not uttering a single word.

With my advanced speed, I'm beside her in an instant. I grip both of her arms, and pull her to me, and she fights it. I'm gonna hold her, and shes not going to push me away.

"Let me go."

"No."

"Why?"

"Have the past two years meant nothing to you? Have they meant nothing to you, as to where you break up with me simply because some one fucking told you to?" I whisper, still holding on to her, I don't want to let her go, because once I do, I think it only finalizes that I'm loosing her.

"Its not that simple, you know I love you Inuyasha, I'd do anything for you-

" Then why can't you ignore this? How come now of all times you decide to follow the rules?!" My voice probably rose three octaves right then.

She stops fighting against me. She won't walk away just yet, but what kills me right now, is that now, while her face is buried in my chest, I can smell her tears, now I know that this is killing me as much as its killing her.

"I can't! I can't just let my family down like that, they expect things from me, gramps wanted this for me so badly, even if I don't want it!"

Finally, I let her go. "Alright. Fine, marry that dick-head Hojo. Go away!" I scream at her.

She starts to back away, with those tears pouring down her gorgeous face....

"Just go! Pretend like nothing ever happened then, we're just FRIENDS! Best fucking friends!"

She watches me in awe as I swear and yell at her, I want her to hurt as much as I am, I don't want to be the only person bearing the fucking pain.

" But, remember this, Kagome Higurashi, you're letting me go now, but I will never ever take you back." I spit at her, and make my back into the lunchroom.

If only this had been about a damn car.

The last two classes of the day are awkward for me. Its funny how, a person can act as if she never left you for some weak, puny, human piece of shit. The last two classes were with Kagome, and my seat was next to hers in both. Go figure.

To top it all off, she was my partner for the day's assignments.

"Alright, so we have to figure out the circumference of this trapezoid." She says to me, talking about school and shit, when she probably knows damn well I'm not listening.

"Keh." Is what I offer in response.

She frowns. "Inuyasha, we need to get a good grade on this, I'm already failing math....."

I flash her a bitter smile. "So, I should consider your feelings, before I make a decision to fail this assignment? Is that it? Is that what you're saying?"

"Inuyasha......"

"As I recall, I wasn't quite important enough to consider before you decide to go and marry someone else, yup thats it, better make everyone BUT Inuyasha happy."

She stands up with a fire I haven't seen in her all day. "Just, shut up! Stop making me feel bad, Inuyasha!"

"Oh isn't this rich!? You took the words right of my mouth!" The entire class is staring, but I can honestly say that I don't give a fuck.

"I didn't fucking want this, I'm doing what I have to do! Just leave me alone!" She screams at me.

Excellent, she's hurting too.

Its been an entire week. One week, since I've glanced in her direction, one week since I've thought about calling her, telling her that I love her, one week, since she's stopped waiting at my locker, a week where I made the decision that we would be friends, since being lovers wasn't a damn option.

Its a weekend. I'm laying in my bed, the radio is on, and I'm staring at the damn ceiling, wishing Kagome were up there.

I flip open my phone, looking at messages. The last message from her, was 'I love you' the week before last. Of course, I wouldn't get one like that now.

The door creaks and in walks Sesshoumaru. Great. The last thing I need is that cocky bastard, making fun of me because I'm depressed.

He smirks. Stupid bastard. "Little brother, it seems you are sad about the loosing your human bitch."

I don't speak, I merely glance at him, and then continue to count the tiles on the ceiling.

"Quiet, are we? No loud noises, no yelling? Oh maybe it was good thing she left you for a human."

My eyes narrow. "How do you know what happened?"

Sesshoumaru scoffs. "I may have graduated last year, but I still have connections through Rin, whom just so happens to be great friends with Kagome."

I nod. Of course, I had forgotten all about the Sophomore, Rin. Still, having Sesshoumaru in my room, pissed me off.

"Get out. I don't want to be around people right now."

He shrugged. "As you wish, little brother, hopefully, you have learned your lesson from this, and will later invest your time in a youkai girlfriend."

With that hanging in the air, he left.

A day later, I can finally get up and at least move throughout the mansion. I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen and the living-room now.

I'm walking towards the kitchen when Mom says something to me from where she's lounging on one of the couches. "You look like hell."

I chuckle, as she hands me one of those mirrors that women seem to have on them all the damn time. My mom wouldn't lie to me. I do look like hell. My silver hair is tangled, dirty, and all over the place, my skin looks rather dirty, my eyes are dead, and hollow. Wow, I've looked like this for over a week.

I forget about making some ramen and decide to sit down in front of my mom.

As if she had some weird ass instinct, she reaches out trails a hand through my hair. If there was anyone woman that would never fear my lashing out at her, it would definitely be my mother.

"How is Kagome?"

Damn, what a way to kill my already dead mood.

"She's fine, mother."

"But you're not."

"I'll be alright, it'll get better with time." I just lied to mom and myself.

My mother chuckles and stretches out her small form on the sofa, briefly turning her head to the expensive TV where The Price Is Right is showing, and then back to me.

"You should never lie to your mother."

I shrug.

Her hand never leaves my hair, and she says to me, "Inuyasha, you have to move on with your life, there will be so many other Kagome's."

I don't speak. Mother sighs.

" It's alright to be upset for a little while, cry a little, yell, get angry, but eventually you're gonna have to just move on. She has."

At this, I can't help but nod. Kagome really moved on, her and Hojo have been together almost every damn day now.

Then, mother slaps me on the back of the head. I'm so out of it, I barely say 'ouch'.

"Go sulk, be depressed, until your crappy mood has improved, I don't want to see you, you're sucking the happiness out of the room." She complained.

I comply, and run back up the large stair case, and find myself sitting cross-legged at the door, once I close it, the radio is still playing softly,

I shouldn't love you, but I want to,

I just can't turn away, I shouldn't see you,

but I can't move, can't look away,

and I don't know how to be fine when I'm not,

because I don' know how to make a feeling stop....

I never listen to sappy shit like this, but today I guess I just don't give a damn.

Just so you know, this feeling's taking control of me,

and I can't help it, I won't sit around, can't let him win now,

thought you should know I tried my best to let go of you.....

There's a lot of things I've never done concerning sadness. I had never sat around the house looking like complete shit, listen to sappy love songs, or loose all reason for excitement. And definitely, until now,

I had never cried over any wench.

End of scene. Good one, huh? Well, please review and Disclaimer: I don't own the song 'Just So You Know' or Jesse Mccartney or Inuyasha. Haha. If I did, I'd be a very happy young lady. Keep a lookout for then next chapter entitled: 'We're Just Friends.'

With that said, Sayonara!
