Kagome stared at the pictures scattered on the floor and the bed of her small apartment.
She glanced at the cell-phone beside her and then stretched a pale hand toward it.
Lifting the mobile to see the screen, the raven scrolled through her contact list until she got to his name.
She still hadn't deleted it.
'One touch of a button, and he'll pick up.'
'Do I ever cross your mind Inuyasha?' Kagome flinched at her thoughts and tears pooled in her eyes.
She wiped away her tears and glanced at the clock on her bedside table.
'It's a quarter after one...' She stared another minute, before rising slowly and shuffling over to her closet.
The raven slowly pulled on a black pencil skirt and a white silk blouse before making her way to the bathroom.
She exited the bathroom seconds later with her hair in a bun, and snatched the keys off her kitchen counter.
Kagome stared at her reflection numbly in the elevator doors.

Inuyasha tipped his glass back and then his amber eyes flickered over to the door.
'Any minute now...' He thought, filling the glass with the bottle by the table. 'Kagome will sweep through the door like usual.'
The door remained closed.
"Inu?" The voice of the other raven at his side snapped. Inuyasha turned his head. "Love, I've been calling your name for the past five minutes."
"Sorry, Kikyo." He sighed, placing the glass down and holding out his arms. She slid into them, the silk robe she wore riding up her thighs. "What did you want?"
"I wanted to know if you would watch a movie with me?" She ran a manicured finger down his bare chest.
"It's a quarter after one at night, sweetheart." Inuyasha grinned, buring his head into her neck, and sliding his nose across her shoulder. "Can't you think of something better to do?"
"Well then," Kikyo's red painted mouth rose at the corners. "Come with me."
She pulled out of his arms, and grabbed his hand, leading the hanyo to the bedroom.
The whiskey bottle sat on the coffee table for the rest of the night.
