Chapter 1
You're Leaving me for HER?
----------
Kagome Higurashi was getting out of her math class with a pout on her face but she quickly cheering up when she saw her boyfriend InuYasha waiting for her. She ran over to his side but saw he was distracted by something. Or someone in this case.
"InuYasha?" she asked, waving her hand in front of his face.
Snapping out of his trance, he turned to face Kagome, who was obviously pretty frustrated.
"Yea, hi. So, where do you want to go today?" Please don't be shopping please don't be shopping, InuYasha chanted in his mind.
Whenever InuYasha went shopping with Kagome, he ended up holding all of the bags and paying for a lot of it. He didn't really mind all the stuff or the expenses...it was just pretty heavy. Not that it was too heavy for him of course.
"Hmm, nowhere I guess. I just want to relax and get away from all this homework."
InuYasha nodded and even almost did a little cheer but his mind was on something else. Kagome could tell.
"InuYasha! What's wrong with you today? It seems like you aren't really paying attention to me or anything at all...," Kagome said with a disappointed voice.
Again, InuYasha barely noticed a thing she said. She followed his view and saw what he was looking at. It was the new girl, Kikyou Takeda. Kagome growled.
"Can you stop looking at her?!" Kagome muttered under her breath because she was sure InuYasha could hear her and he did.
Kagome knew Kikyou and all she would do to InuYasha was break his heart. Like she did to all the other boys she went out with.
----------
"I never want to see your ugly face ever again!" Kikyou shouted.
"Oh yea? Well, don't look in the mirror," Kagome snorted.
Kikyou scoffed and went back to her friends. Kikyou was only popular because she was rich.
Because she was rich, she could have anyone she wanted, but they didn't really want to be
around her. Especially Kagome.
----------
Kagome was pretty normal but she was often called a 'Kikyou-look-alike' and it made her
frustrated. When that little disagreement happened, nobody called her that again.
A lot of people thought Kagome had had plastic surgery to look like Kikyou but now they knew it was just the way she was born. It was what God gave her. A lot of the guys liked Kagome but since they thought she was a wannabe Kikyou, they wouldn't even go near her.
Now, however, they asked her out constantly but she always refused. One guy, Houjo, was extremely persistent and would stop at nothing to get her but they were childhood friends and that was all Kagome saw him as.
With InuYasha by her side, no man even wanted to go near her anymore. They were too scared of her overprotective boyfriend.
"Wha? Yea, sure. Lets go," he said, but when they left, he couldn't stop looking at her.
He knew Kagome was his girlfriend but something made him want to go and leave her, go to Kikyou instead and just dump Kagome. But he couldn't do that. He still loved Kagome and
couldn't do that to her. Or could he...?
----------
Sesshoumaru Yamada mentally sighed as he felt something cling to his arm. He would never show this much emotion so most of the things he did was in his head.
Turning around to see who or what is was, he frowned. It was just some girl. He shook his arm fiercely but she hung on tight.
"C'mon Sesshoumaru. You don't want to seem like a loner do you?" she pleaded. Oh, now it made sense. It was that Takeda girl again.
His frown deepened. What was this slut doing on his arm?
"If being a loner means I don't have to have a woman like you stuck on my arm, then, yes, by all means," he said monotonously.
Kikyou reluctantly let go of his arm. Why didn't he like her? He should have been happy to even have the privilege to have her on him! [1]
----------
Kagome's smile slowly turned into a frown as she watched InuYasha prepare to say what he had planned to say.
"Kagome...I don't think I can be with you anymore..." he said, trying to keep a straight face.
He looked into her eyes, and there were tears threatening to spill. How could there not be? He was breaking up with her! Kagome felt her heart take a giant leap and plunge to the bottom.
"Wh...why?" she managed to say, suppressing the tears. "What did I do? Is it me?"
"N-no! It isn't you and you didn't do anything! I just think we need some space...," InuYasha said. Yea, that's it. Make it a believable lie...I'm sorry, Kagome.
He held her shoulders firmly and forced her to look at him in the eye. She was obviously angry but didn't want to show it. He kissed her forehead and left her by the tree they were standing by. She watched helplessly as he walked away from her. Probably for the rest of her life...
Kagome fell backwards, fell to her knees, and began to cry. That was all she could do. Cry and hope he would come back.
----------
Sesshoumaru was walking to his dorm when he saw Kikyou again. She was bent over by a tree and crying. He half smiled. Did the girl finally get what she deserved? He decided to walk over and see who or what she was crying about. Supposedly, he would go congratulate that person or thing for a job well done. Making a slut cry was an absolutely amazing feat.
"Hey. Girl."
She wasn't answering, all that could be heard were sniffles and the shuffling of leaves. What could have made her so upset that she wouldn't answer him? Him of all people. Not that he cared.
"Takeda?" he asked, partially surprised that it came out as a question and not an insult. Maybe she was deaf and didn't hear him, it was always a possibility. She always ignored it when he said no to her so it could happen.
She lifted her head and he could see tears stained her cheeks. Sesshoumaru almost had an _expression on his faceless mask. This wasn't Kikyou at all!
"No, Sesshoumaru. I'm. Not. That. Little....whore...," she said through gritted teeth.
Sesshoumaru practically smiled, although he didn't. He never did. A girl who actually dared to defy Kikyou? He knew a lot of people hated her but they never said it aloud. Unless they had a higher power than her or something. [2] Most likely, there were none, aside from him.
He just raised a brow as if to ask who she was and how she knew his name and mentally scolded himself for 'almost' showing so much emotion in just one day. Truthfully, this day was quite intriguing.
She sighed and got up, grabbing her books and wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Nobody," she answered and left. [3]
Sesshoumaru fought the urge to follow her, find out who she was and why the hell she looked like the slut. He was Sesshoumaru, after all, and Sesshoumaru didn't do things like that. So of course, like every single time, he fought the urge to do anything and just walked away with an emotionless mask.
He remembered who she was. Or at least, he remembered her face. She had been in a couple of his classes in their childhood. They despised each other then. How did they feel about each other now? She had practically talked back to him and no woman had ever done that. Right then and there on his way home, he decided at that moment that he hated her. Or maybe just highly disliked her. He couldn't like her, now could he?
----------
InuYasha wondered if he had the right thing. There was nothing wrong with dumping a girl! People were doing it all over the world and they got over it! Right?
He flopped onto his bed and stared at the ceiling. Was he really ever going to get over her and was she over him already? He remembered her hurt look and the threatening tears. He shook his head as he reminded himself that it wasn't a bad thing and that he had done the right thing.
"I mean, she doesn't rule my whole life! I control my life!" InuYasha looked in the mirror
and grinned wryly. Great, he was talking to himself. That was stupid...
Suddenly, his best friend Miroku Mazaki walked in the dorm with a girl.
"Hey, InuYasha. Mind if I borrow the dorm for the night? Promise we'll be done by midnight."
InuYasha smirked. "I see. Studying, are we?"
Miroku and the strange girl InuYasha had never seen before in his whole life blushed a deep crimson but Miroku seemed proud of it.
"Yes, studying. Now out. Half of this dorm is mine. "
"Only half! What makes you think I'll leave?" InuYasha threatened.
Miroku grinned, walked over to a drawer, and was about to open it when InuYasha jumped over and locked it.
"Fine, fine. I'll leave." InuYasha grabbed his jacket and left the door open.
"Remember, if you don't listen to me, I'll show all your old and new girlfriends' this."
InuYasha just 'keh'ed' and left.
Miroku just grinned slyly at the girl and asked, "Shall we?"
----------
InuYasha sighed. Normally when Miroku brought over a girl, he would go and stay at Kagome's dorm and even if there were no boys allowed there, she would let him stay. Now that they had broken up, there was no place to go.
----------
Sesshoumaru was in his dorm sitting on the edge of his bed, glaring at the floor. For some reason, this girl wouldn't wane from his mind. He couldn't get rid of her... So he was going to find out who she was. It didn't matter how. He would find out.
----------
[1] I really don't think this, I just have to make it seem like she really wants him and that's how
she feels about it.
[2] Higher power in this school kind of means richer.
[3] Okay, some people were a little confused about this. Read the paragraph before this. "Sesshoumaru raised a brow as if asking her...etc." He was asking her who she was without saying anything and she replied with a simple "Nobody." Kagome just told him she wasn't anyone. Get it?
