Being Wrong Is Never Fun

.

Kagome stood there slacked jawed as Toga waited for her answer. Snapping her mouth shut, her temper began to boil. He- he would dare question her as to why!? This had to be some kind of cruel joke; Toga surely could not be this dense. Was it not obvious that she, Kagome, would refuse to idly sit by and be made a fool of, while her husband tryst with that, that-puffball!

Without a second thought, she spun around and made an attempt to leave only to come face to face with the jerk himself. Letting out an impressive growl, she swung at him, intent on reddening the other cheek, but was abruptly stopped when he caught her wrist in a vise-like grip. Before she could raise her other hand, she found herself being spun around and bent over as he popped her on her bottom. 'How dare he!' she thought and screamed in outrage. Kagome struggle to get free and yelled, "Let go of me, you two-timing bastard!"

"Excuse me?" demanded a stunned Toga as he released his hold sending the girl tumbling to the ground. He could not believe his ears; she had just said he, Toga, was a cheater! He was momentarily flabbergasted by the news, watching the girl on the ground glare at him.

"You heard me!" she hissed out, her aura crackling around her in her ire. "Did you really think that I, would stand by and be made a fool of by my husband? While you tryst with the Puffball?" she finished, eyes narrowed and waited for him to deny her accusation.

Interesting, the Panther had been correct; the girl had laid claim to him. 'Hm.' Seeing that she was no longer making an attempt to neither move nor talk, he got down to her level by resting one knee on the ground. Leaning forward, he answered her, "Why would you believe that I had two-timed you?" He had a good idea what it was but wanted her to say it out loud.

"I saw you two in the hall, while she hung to you like some kind of bloodsucking, bottom of the pond scum and you just stood there! Go ahead and deny that." She snapped out at him, once more crossing her arms as she thrummed her fingers waiting for his response.

"Did it not occur to you that I was accosted?" he inquired. Getting no response he continued, "I see by the shocked look that it did not." Oh, this was entertaining. A flush of embarrassment had appeared on her face as her world was flipped on its head by his words. Had she really believe that he was a being of no honor? "I always keep my word, Kagome."

Shocked, she stared up at him, guilt and shame hitting her. Perhaps, she had been a bit hasty in jumping to conclusions, but how was she to know? But - 'Ah, dang.' Kagome took a deep breath, "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions," she conceded and -much to her annoyance- a smirk appeared on his face. The words he said next had her heart dropping into her guts. "Why be jealous if you care nothing for me?"

What was she to say to that?!
