Chapter 19

Kagome's P.O.V.

I was shocked speechless after hearing all those things about their past. They must have had such a horrible childhood! It shouldn't be considered a childhood at all! After they explained everything, we all took our time heading home in solemn silence.

Kagome's house...

When we got to my place, Inuyasha walked me to the door. Turning around, I looked at him straight in his eyes, letting myself sink into those pools of gold. He seemed to be doing the same as we stared away in comfortable silence.

After a few minutes of looking into each other's eyes, Inuyasha surprised me by pulling me into a hug.

"Be careful," he whispered into my ear. He pulled away but not before giving me a soft kiss on the cheek.

I smiled at him. "I'll see you tomorrow."

The moment I closed the door, I turned to see my mom right behind me, giving me a fright.

"Mom, you scared me!"

Who would've known she would've started bombarding me with questions.

"Are you and that boy going out? Since when? What happened? Are you being safe? Is he treating you alright? Do you-"

"Mom, relax!" I interrupted her. "And yes, we're going out. Don't worry about anything else," I simply said.

The rest of the day went by in a mindless blur. Dinner flew by and by the time I knew it, I had already finished my homework, taken a bath, changed into my pyjamas and lying down in bed.

My dreams were filled with Inuyasha as I fell into a deep sleep.

Naraku's P.O.V.

"I trust that you can get the job done and get rid of the half-breed?" I demanded.

"Yes, I can. I will make sure he doesn't go near the girl again."

I sneered. "Good. Very good."

The next morning, at school...

Kagome's P.O.V.

Inuyasha and I walked to school and met up with Hikara and Natsume again. The morning continued like any other day and, again, it started with Miroku touching their butts again. The pervert ended with two searing hand marks on both his cheeks.

I sighed, laughing. "Didn't you learn your lesson yesterday?"

"We told you not to violate us again!" The sisters reminded him nonetheless.

Miroku ran behind Sango. "Sango, dearest, protect me!"

Sango crossed her arms and looked behind her shoulder at the cowering being like he was a disgusting fly. "Why should I? They told you not to do that yesterday. It's your fault."

Oh, she's mad. Usually, she would be the first to hit him or something but today, she's cool as a cucumber, meaning she's really pissed.

That's just how Sango workds.

Calmly walking away, she exposed Miroku while Hikara and Natsume threw punishments his way.

That guy will never learn.

At lunch...

"Whew, I'm done," I sighed as I gathered up the last few pieces of class papers together. Overjoyed at my accomplishment, I was excited to see Inuyasha again, who said he'd wait for me until I'm done so we could eat lunch together.

I was just walking out of class when and was closing the door until something caught my eye. My heart clenched before my mind could figure out what I was seeing.

It was Inuyasha…with Kikyo…together! And I mean talking, laughing, flirting…EVERYTHING!

Kikyo had her arm snaked though Inuyasha's and he actually looked happy that it happening! That lying cheat was smiling like a goddamn idiot!

Hurt, mad and confused at the same time, I refused to believe what my mind was already concluding. I walked over to where Inuyasha and Kikyo were.

Clearing my throat, I got their attention. I noticed how Inuyasha looked completely unaffected by my appearance.

"Come on, Inuyasha. Let's get to lunch," I said as I grabbed his hand.

You can't even imagine the shock I got when he roughly pulled his hand away.

I stared at him, feeling the back of my eyes start to sting. "Wha…What are you doing, Inuyasha?"

"I'm sorry, Kagome, but I don't think we should be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore," he said plainly, like that was enough to explain his sudden actions.

I just stood there, feeling like an idiot as everyone nearby started to stare.

I couldn't believe it. He said he'd never hurt me.

He promised!

What was going on?

"I guess it looks like he doesn't want you anymore," Kikyo sneered at me.

I looked at Inuyasha desperatly, silently pleading for an explanation. But he said nothing but looked at me and shrugged.

He…just shrugged?

I couldn't take it anymore. I did the next thing I could.

I ran.

Through the halls and up the stairs to the roof of the school I ran blinded by my tears. Reaching the empty roof top, I collapsed against the gate bordering the roof and cried.

And cried and cried and cried. I sobbed like a wailing banshee. But really, who wouldn't?

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?

How could he do this to me? I trusted him! And what did he do? He just threw that trust straight out the goddamn window!

I started to cry even more.

Sango's P.O.V.

I had just left the cafeteria when I saw Kagome run straight past me in tears; sobbing.

"Kagome!" I called out to her. But she didn't hear me and just continued to run.

My mind panicked for a reason and that's when I just happened to see Kikyo walking towards me with Inuyasha hand-in-hand.

Wait, Inuyasha and Kikyo?

Inuyasha and Kikyo?

I watched as Kikyo hugged him then kissed him on the cheek.

Looking at them in disgust, I saw my vision flash red. He didn't dare do what I think he did, did he?

How could he do that to Kagome? He promised he wouldn't hurt her! After all I said to him, did that not reach him at all?

I stormed over to them in a blind rage and felt my hand rise. I couldn't even feel my mind working as I watched as my hand strike across his face, harder than I've ever slapped Miroku.

He turned to me in shock; stunned.

"How could you do this to her?" I spat at him. "You promised me you wouldn't hurt her! Was all of that a fucking lie?" I could feel acid seething out of my mouth. "You said you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself if you did! How could you do this, you lying bastard!"

I slapped him again on his other cheek, loving the stinging sensation I felt on my hand. "What the hell has gotten into you, you cheating son-of-a-bitch!"

Then I looked at Kikyo and yelled, "And you," I seethed. "Isn't teasing her daily enough? I don't even know what she did to you, but for you to go this far..." I had enough will to stop the rest of my cussing. "You went too far this time! You should be ashamed of yourself! But then again, you don't feel anything, do you?"

She cowered behind Inuyasha.

I turned on my heel and marched in the direction Kagome ran. But then I stopped.

Turned back towards them, I locked my eyes with Inuyasha, forcing him to look at me. "If you ever come near Kagome again…I swear you'll regret ever making her cry."

Finding Kagome on the roof was enough to blow my rage away, watching her cry her heart out and all. She was a depressed mess.

Without a single word of comfort, all I could do was hug her.

Naraku's P.O.V.

I smirked as Kikyo broke those two up.

"That's more like it. It was almost too easy," I laughed. "Now I don't have to deal with the disgust of my woman being with that half-breed."

I laughed again.

Now to move on with the rest of my plan. How do I get her to consider looking my way and have her be consumed by that newborn darkness in her heart?

I couldn't help but chuckle gleefully.

This is fun indeed.

Sorry for the bad language. Bee131 had some but I was so angry, I was in the mood for more.

…Mwahaha…

See you next time,
