Chap. 18- Lies

“I promise I won't leave you. Ever.”

I had lied to him. I would leave at some time but not right now. There were lies in my past that I had to get rid of. Lies that I couldn't cover anymore.

`Like the ones about my parents.' I thought as I walked along the street. I was punishing myself for lying to him. The one thing that matters to me.

He was back at the house, I had said I was going for a walk. It seemed like hours had past since I had started from my house but the pure fact was I hadn't gone a simple block yet, already my mind was plagued again.

I shook my head. And then again- I was happy, finally happy. Maybe I wouldn't leave at all, but maybe I would have the chance to tell him my thoughts later. I tried not to drift on that endless sea of things I could say and how he would reply.

A car drove by and honked it horn, interrupting my silence. I turned and sent him the bird. To my surprise the car turned around and pulled up to the curb still moving. “Was that an offer hun?” Familiarity ground at me as the voice drifted on thin air.

“Not for you. It was an insult.” I huffed. Men and their antics.

“I don't see that dope with you. What happened to him?”

“I killed him.” I glanced into the car. “Like I should have done to you.”

“Kagome, I'm sober tonight and I just want to tell you- I'm really sorry about that whole rape thing. You know I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been under the influence.” he stopped the car as I stopped walking.

“You were never sober. Not around me. Tell me once that you were sober.”

“The day you're parents died. That sobered me up so quick that I had to put down the bottle.”

I shook my head. “And right after the funeral you picked up where you left off.” I started walking again.

“I'm still sorry.” He did sound it, and the car started to move again as I did. He was expecting an answer. So I gave him a very careful one, but at least me voice didn't crack as I had expected it to.

“I accept your apology. Now please leave me alone.”

“Break up with Inu.” He attempted to push his luck.

I decided to push back. “I will do no such thing. He is the only thing keeping my life together right now and not even the gods will separate me from him.” I said, glancing at Kouga again.

“Good night Kagome.” He rolled up the window, and drove off. An uncomfortable feeling settled in my stomach.

Some how I knew this was going to get bad again. Not as bad as it had been but pretty damn close to it. Then again- what ever got bad would have to get better again eventually.

An: Hilo again… Sorry it was so short… It's going to pick up after this chapter, trust me… I still get to introduce Shippou into the working and get Rin's part picked up--- Please let me know if you want a sequel by the time I'm done with it… C.H. for a D.S. is killing me, I'm having utter trouble with it and might fail to continue it because it seems to childish for me now, perhaps in future years I will repost it but for now- I think it will be coming down… We will see… By the way, it's 5 in the morning and I haven't managed sleep yet so this may not be worded quite right- forgive me. Anyway, I'm done for now-- See ya next chapter… *starts plotting*
