ON WITH THE STORY! (:

"Kagome?"

The sound of his voice made my heart skip a beat and my pulse quickened.

"Kagome,what are you doing here?"

"I don't know. I found the note and-"

"What part of time to get my thoughts together didn't you understand?"

"Yash,please. Tell me what's wrong!"

"Like you don't know."

"I don't! We were happy,then I took a shower. When I come out you were leaving. What the hell?"

"Stop! You know,you made me believe you. I actually trusted you."

"This doesn't make sense."

"I just don't think we're right for each other. I'm sorry."

He stood and walked to the stairs.

"I'll be back later,Mora."

With that,he left. I felt tears rush down my face as I sank down onto the couch.

"What happened?"

"Kagome,you really don't know?"

"No! Do you?"

Mora nodded,looking uncomfortable.

'Well,why wouldn't he be uncomfortable. Does he help the poor girl on his couch or stay true to his friend? That situation would fuck anybody up.'

"Kagome,I'd like to think we've become friends."

"We have."

"Ok. So,this is hard for me. It's put me in a fucked up position. I hate to see a female cry. Doesn't matter who it is,I just hate it. Plus,you're my friend. Yash has been my friend longer though. We've been through some shit. He's really fucked up over this. I've only seen him like this once."

"What did I do Mora?"

"Coke."

"He was there every time I did it!"

"He found the coke on your floor."

"Coke on my floor? What?"

He handed me a bag of cocaine.

"He said he found it on your floor while you were in the shower."

"How the fuck? This is all a huge misunderstanding!"

"That's not the way he's looking at it."

"He's looking at it like I lied to him."

"Exactly."

Suddenly it all made sense. I had to find him. Had to make him listen to me. Had to make him see he was wrong.

"Where's he going?"

"I don't know."

"Mora,next to Miro,you're his best friend. Where does he go when he's upset like this? I know you know. So,please tell me. If you wanna help your friend,tell me. I'm begging."

"Kikyo's grave."

"Where is it?"

"Boston Road Cemetery."

"Thanks Mora!"

I hugged him quickly and ran to the car.

'Inuyasha,you have to believe me. I love you. I would never lie to you. Please. Mom,you said you'd always be with me. So,please help me!'

I pulled into the parking lot and jumped out of the car. Inuyasha. Where was Inuyasha? I looked all around. Soon,I found him. He was standing by a nearby grave,leaned against the tree. His head was down and I couldn't see his eyes,which I was thankful for. I needed to be brave and his eyes made me freeze in my tracks. I rushed over and stopped. I looked at the grave. It had a picture of a young woman that looked like me. Her hair was longer and straight and her eyes were grey,but other than that we could've been twins. Above the picture were the words "Kikyo Hiromi:She touched the hearts of every person she met. We will never forget her." Under the picture was her date of birth and the date of her death. I read it. "04/04/1993-05/04/2011". So,it had only been a year since her death. I watched as Inuyasha bent down and picked up a case that was neatly placed at the bottom of the headstone. Apparently,he was so wrapped up in everything that he didn't notice I was there. He started talking to the dead girl.

"Kikyo,I'm lost. I promised you when you died,that I would try to move on. It's been so hard. I couldn't find anyone that made me feel like I felt when you were here. Then,Kagome came along. She looks just like you. She seemed so,different. I got that same feeling I had the first time I met you. I didn't wanna get to know her,hell,I didn't wanna get to know anybody. But I got close to her. I believed her. I trusted her. You always said I needed to do that more often. I stuck by her through a near death. You have no idea how hard it was. Finding her on the floor,unconcious. Dealing with the fear when they took her from my arms. Waiting in the hospital,knowing the doctor was gonna tell me she was gone. It was like dealing with you all over again. Then,everything seemed right again. She smiled again. She has a beautiful smile. She reminds me of you so much when she smiles. I actually considered doing this again."

He looked at the case,for emphasis.

"Then,I find out it was a lie. I wanna believe it's not true. I do,but it's so hard to trust. Kikyo,tell me what I'm supposed to do."

He set the case down and I could see what was inside. Two diamond rings.

'Inuyasha was...married?'

"I will always love you Kikyo."

With that,he stood and turned around. I braced myself as his eyes met mine. I took a deep breath.

"I know what you're supposed to do. Listen to me and give me a chance to explain."

"Kagome,what the hell are you doing here? How long have you been here?"

"Long enough to know why you don't wanna listen to me."

"You heard that?"

"I did. Please,listen to me."

The wind rustled and the leaves blew. I could have swore I felt someone else's presence,but the cemetery was empty. Inuyasha and I were the only two living people there.

'Kikyo,I didn't know you,but if you truly want him to be happy in your absence,then help me.'

"Fine,explain."

"Mora told me what was going on."

"Figures. He can't keep his mouth shut."

"Yash,I swear,it wasn't my coke. I have no idea where it came from. Do you honestly think I would put my mother's name into something if it weren't true? I never lied to you. Not when I told you everything about myself. Not when I told you I was sober. And most definitely,not when I told you I love you. You have to believe me."

"If it's not your's,how did it end up on your floor?"

"I don't know."

Suddenly,something came to me.

'Mora's jacket. Something squishy was in the pocket.'

I pulled the coke out of my pocket and squished it.

"Mora's jacket."

"What?"

"Where was this?"

"By the foot of your bed. Right by the edge."

"There was something squishy in the pocket of Mora's jacket. This must've been what it was. When I grabbed the jacket to bring it back this must've fallen out!"

"Mora's jacket?"

"Yes. Baby,that's the only explanation that makes sense!"

"Toss me the coke."

I did as told and watched as he turned to walk to his car.

"Yash,where are you going?"

"Business."

He started the car and sped out of the parking lot.

"Shit."

I ran to Miro's car,jumped in,and chased after him. I reached Mora's door just in time. I ran in,not bothering to knock. Mora wasn't gonna be able to answer. I ran to the basement and saw Yash pin Mora against the wall.

"What the hell,Man?"

"Was it your's?"

"Was what mine?"

"Don't play fucking stupid with me! Was the shit your's?"

I had to do something.

"Yash,stop!"

"Kagome,stay there."

"The shit? You talkin bout the coke?"

"Was it in your jacket?"

"If it was,I had no idea when I handed the jacket to Kagome!"

"She almost died! Do you have any idea what I went through? Don't you remember Kikyo?"

"Why the fuck you gotta bring Kikyo into this shit,Man? How could I ever fucking forget her? I was there when she took her last fucking breath!"

"Then why would you jeapordize another girl's life?"

"I didn't do it on purpose! I fucking forgot!"

"Whatever."

Yash let go,tossed the coke on the table,and stormed out. I stared at Mora,who stared at me. He had a painful expression on his face. I followed after Yash. When I got to the house,I ran upstairs and bust in the room. I was so tired of not knowing what was going on. He looked up when I walked in. Silently,he wrapped me in a hug.

"I'm so sorry I ever doubted you. Can you please forgive me? I wanna fix this."

"What do you think I've been trying to do since I got out of the shower?"

He smirked and we engaged in a deep passionate kiss.

"Tell me about Kikyo."

He took a deep breath.

"What about her?"

"Everything. I wanna understand why it's so hard for you to let me in. Just in case you try to shut me out again."

"Well,we met when we were thirteen and immediately became inseperable. We were best friends. Four months after we met,we started dating. When we were sixteen,we got engaged. We were supposed to get married on her eighteenth birthday,but we had to postpone,due to some financial issues. She was killed on our wedding day. Apparently,she was into some bad shit I didn't know about."

'So,she was killed on their wedding date. He was left at the altar.'

"What kind of bad shit?"

"A drug gang."

"How does Mora fit into that?"

He sighed.

"There's some things you don't wanna know."

"I think that's for me to decide. Now,I'm gonna ask one more time. How does Mora fit into that?"

"Mora was in tight with this gang. A week before Kikyo's birthday she found out she was pregnant. I had just been laid off of work and was having trouble finding a job. Kikyo had grown up with Mora. So,she went to him for help. He got her in with this gang. Apparently,she was good at selling drugs becasue she made it into the high ranks pretty fast. Well,a week before the wedding I found a job and she wanted out. We had a supply of money and she didn't like the idea anyway. She'd never had a normal family so she was determined to give our child one. When she told Mora she wanted out he tried to change her mind. There was only one way out. She went to see the head man anyway. Mora tried to get there in time but was too late. She'd been shot. He held her while she died,then called me. I was at the altar when he called. I rushed over and got there as the cops were taking him in for the murder. That night I snorted coke for the first time in four years. Then I went to see Mora. He told me the whole story. He was never actually convicted because the police found evidence that pointed to the head boss. I lost my fiance and a child I knew nothing about."

I took a minute to take it in.

"They just left you alone after that?"

"Yeah. Mora stayed here and they couldn't come back because police were on the look out. They knew nothing of me,as I knew nothing about them. Kikyo had payed the ultimate price. I heard they caught the guy."

"Wow. Baby,I'm so sorry."

"It's all over. No need to be sorry now."

*A Week Later*

I smiled as I felt Yash's arms tighten around my waist. We were laying on the couch,watching tv.

"So when are we gonna tell Miro?"

"When he can't kill me."

"So,never?"

"Yupp. Pretty much."

"He's gonna find out eventually. We can't hide it forever. Everything that happens in the dark must come to the light. My mom used to say that all the time and it's true."

"We'll tell him. Eventually,ok?"

"Tell who what?"

We jumped as Miro entered the room. He looked at us expectantly.

"What's going on? Who are we telling? What are we telling?"

"Um,well Miro,I think Yash has something he wants to say."

I looked at Yash.

"Dammit. Um,well,Man,you kinda gotta promise not to freak out,ok?"

"Yash,what did you do?"

"Kagome and I are dating."

"What?"

He dropped the newspaper in his hand and stared at us.

"And how long were you gonna wait to tell me?"

"Look,Man,I know how you feel about her and about me. I figured I already knew how you'd feel about us. I was kinda scared."

"As you should be."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Miro started chasing Yash around the livingroom.

"Man,come on! This is crazy!"

"Come here and face me like a man Yash."

"Hell no! You're clinically insane right now!"

Finally,Miro caught him and slammed him against the wall.

"I'll be damned. This is not gonna fucking happen! She will not be like you. You will not fuck her head up. I refuse. Last time you did that shit,Kikyo died. It's best if you just stick to one night stands,buddy."

"Why the fuck you gotta throw Kikyo in there?"

"Because she was my friend. You're not the only person that lost something that day,Yash. So,grow up and move on. We all have. Get your shit together. Straighten up. Sober up. Be a man and then talk to me about Kagome."

I decided to step in. I wedged myself between the two.

"Excuse me. Miro,I have always loved you. You've always been there for me. That will never change,but you aren't my father. I love him. He loves me. I'm a big girl. I think I can make my own decisions."

"Kaggies,I can not accept this."

"Well,you have no choice. I'm pregnant."

(Author's Note:Sooo..Kagome's pregnant. Yupp. I went there. Lmao. Review and lemme know whatcha think.)

_Crayzee:) (:Bubbles_
