Becoming the Image

Betrayed? Not even

~One year later~

It had been a year since InuYasha left, a year full of sadness, everyone was trying to be happy…but it wasn't the same, they all missed InuYasha. They had kept up with the media, learning that InuYasha was very famous in the USA.

“Hey Kagome, we gotta get going to the mall, Sango is determined to by that new Top Rika Ishikawa was wearing.” Ayame laughed

“Yeah, I'm coming,” Kagome said as she put on a red shirt, she still wore InuYasha's locket, she had pictures of them in it now. She smiled and then walked out to see every body waiting downstairs.

Everyone was excited…after all…InuYasha was coming back in a week!

“I can't wait to have that loser back!” Koga laughed

“I know, we have to have a big surprise party” Kilala smiled

“Party please, he ain't THAT special” Miroku laughed, it was especially hard for Miroku and Kagome, they had known him for a long time, it was hard for him to be away

“Sesshy, what do you think?” Kagome asked, she knew it had been hard for him too, though he never showed it…

~Flash Back~

Kagome was walking down the hallway, it was late and she was tired, but she was still upset about InuYasha leaving, she walked past Sesshomaru's room and heard some soft sobs

`I wonder what that is' Kagome thought, she opened his door a little to see Sesshomaru, the great and mighty Sesshomaru…crying, he was holding a picture of InuYasha and him when they were young, InuYasha was on the swings and Sesshomaru was pushing him.

“You can come in” Sesshomaru said, his voice hoarse

“I...I'm sorry” Kagome said

“It's alright; it must be a shock for you to see me crying like this…right?” Sesshomaru questioned

“Well yes, but I knew you'd miss him.”

“You're right” Kagome and Sesshomaru sat there, letting their emotions run free

~End of Flash Back~

I think we should just dump him in the pool when he gets home, I mean his ego probably grew a lot while in the Us” Sesshomaru smirked

“You're right” Shippo laughed

“Come on let's go to the mall before Sango comes in here screaming” Kagome laughed

They all piled into the limo and went into the mall

~Mall~

“Yes, I got the shirt, I got the shirt!” Sango sang, her friends looked at her like she was completely insane…which wasn't to far from the truth….

“Ok, now that you have the shirt, can we get going?” Shippo whined

“No, let's go and get some welcome back gifts for Yash” Kagome thought

“That's a great idea!” Ayame complimented

“I know!” Kagome smiled

“Well, it wasn't THAT great, now come on let's go!” Kilala mumbled, the group laughed and went to get InuYasha something

“Hey what do you think we should get InuYasha?” Asked Rin

“I'm gonna get him…porn!” Miroku yelled, they all stopped and stared at him

“You are one very crazy pervert, you know that?” Koga asked

“I know” Miroku smiled

“We're gonna get him a shirt” Shippo and Kilala shrugged, they went and got a shirt made, saying, across the chest, `I'm a Jerk, so deal'

“Nice” Koga said, smirking

“We're gonna get him our new CD” Sesshomaru and Rin bought their new CD; it was called, Missing you, all the songs were about InuYasha.

“Smart” Sango said

“We're gonna get him a season box set of Naruto….he'll love it” Sango and Ayame went and got the gift

“What are you guys getting him?” Asked Sango, so far the only ones that hadn't said anything were, Koga and Kagome

“I'll get him a new CD player, he'll like that” Koga said, he went to the store and got him a new cd player

“How about you Kagome?” Shippo asked

“You'll have to see” Kagome smiled

They all went outside and waited for the limo to come

“Hey, you think InuYasha will be any different?” Kilala asked

“I highly doubt it, I mean he had a mind of a two year old when he was 18, now that he's 19 I highly doubt anything's changed” Sesshomaru smirked

“You're right, the most that'll change with him is his favorite color” Koga laughed

“And even then, it'll always be red” Miroku joined in

“Hey, the limo's here, let's get going you losers!” Sango yelled at the boys and Kilala

They all went into the limo to find Kikyo inside

“Kikyo…what are you doing in here?” Ayame asked

“Oh I just wanted to know if you remembered that InuYasha was coming back in two days” Kikyo said calmly, she waited for it…3…2…1

“WHAT?!?!?!!” Kagome yelled

“In two days? I thought it was next week!” Sango yelled

“Why tell us this now?!” Miroku said

“Damn!” They all cursed at the same time

“Because it's more fun this way!” Kikyo said sweetly

They all glared at her

“Come on kids, he's coming back soon, so you better be ready” Kikyo smiled

“When is he coming, what time?” Asked Ayame

“Um…about 7, so we're gonna have a huge party, I hear he's bringing his band, they'll be staying with us, just for the night and then leaving in the morning” Kikyo informed

“Cool, then we can have home field advantage!” Sango cheered

“Damn straight, we'll see if their better then us!” Miroku said….the group fell down laughing

“Ha, better then us…that's great Miroku” Kagome said in between laughs

“No one is better then the Shikon's!” Sango said

“Oh wow I see you guys still think highly of yourselves” Kikyo rolled her eyes

They all laughed and talked until they got home

~At Home~

“Hey Shikon, come here girl!” Kagome yelled as soon as she got into the car, Shikon cam running down the stairs, and slid into a stop in front of Kagome, Kagome picked her up and hugged her tight, shikon was licking her face and wagging her tail happily

“Hey Shikon” Kagome said smiling, they were all going to head upstairs and get ready for the party

“Hey Kikyo, is this a formal party?” Koga asked from the stairs

“Um…yeah, so wear something nice” Kikyo said, she then headed for a guest room

“Ok” the group said and went upstairs to pick something out

~Kilala, Ayame and Rin's room~

“Ok, so I'm gonna wear my Lavender dress” Ayame decided, her dress was form fitting and went down to her knees, it was a v- cut collar, and it looked great on her.

“I'm gonna wear my yellow one” Rin smiled, her dress was the same as Ayame's except it was longer and had straps

“And of course I'll be wearing my cream colored one” Kilala said, her dress was the same as the Rin's except it went to her ankles and had a slit that went up her left leg to her knee

“Cool, we are so ready!” They cheered

~Sesshomaru's room~

All the guys were in his room

“So…what are we wearing?” Shippo asked

“Uh….tuxes?” Suggested Miroku

“Yup”

“Seems good to me” Sesshomaru agreed with Shippo

“Uh huh” Koga nodded his head

“Whatever” Miroku said

The guys then continued to play their video games

~Sango and Rin~

“I'm wearing my pink dress” Sango declared, her dress was like Rin's, just pink

“I'm wearing the dress that I got for my birthday” Kagome's dress was formfitting, a V- neck cut and down to her ankles, with a slit up to her thigh, it was a midnight black

“Sweet” Sango smiled

~Two days later! ~

“Holy mother of porn, today's the day!” Miroku yelled

“I know!” They all yelled, it was hectic around the house, everyone was running around freaking out waiting for their favorite star to show up

“I'm gonna watch TV” Koga said

“Same” They all said…Ok so it wasn't exactly that hectic

They sat down and turned on the TV to see InuYasha

“Yay, go Yash!” The girls yelled

“Today on Teen TV we have with us InuYasha, lead singer of Demons and his drummer Kino, they said they have something important they wanted to announce, So InuYasha, what is it?” The reporter turned to InuYasha and Kino

“Well, I and Kino wanted to announce our…engagement!” InuYasha said smiling

The air was still, no one breathed or moved, they all then turned to Kagome, she was staring at the TV in shock, she picked up the remote and chucked it into the TV screen, the image of InuYasha hugging Kino ceased. They were all shocked, they didn't know what to say, Kagome stood up, her head down and walked away into her room

The group was silent

“Ho-How could he do this?” Miroku asked

“All I know is that he is dead!” Kilala said in anger

“There must have been a reason!” Ayame tried to defend

“What reason could there be!?” Sango demanded in anger

“I-I don't know…oh what are we going to do?” Asked Rin

They all sat there, not knowing what to do

~That night~

“Hey, InuYasha, you ok man?” Asked one of InuYasha's band members, Menomaru

“No! I'm so freaking excited I can actually hear my heart beating!” InuYasha said

“Calm down, we're almost there!” They just arrived at his old house, he was so excited.

“Ok, here goes nothing!” InuYasha smiled, he walked into the room, to find…it was decorated beautifully, red and gold streamers hanging everywhere, yet all of his friends weren't sitting there with smiles but with frowns, most were glaring at him

“Hey guys!” He said, dismissing the feeling

“Whatever, welcome home, hope you had fun, you're gifts are on the table, see ya” Koga said, they then got up and left

“What…was that about man, I thought you said you and your band were tight” Haru said, she was the base guitarist

“I thought we were…” InuYasha couldn't understand what was going on, he was about to go up and follow them but he was stopped by Menomaru

“Dude, stop just leave them be first, just hang out here with us, let's open your gifts, it'll be fine” He advised

“Yeah…I guess,” he sat down and opened his gifts, the first one was Miroku's, it was a mug that said `Best friends' and a magazine…

“Is that porn!” Haru screamed

“Yeah, that's Miroku for ya” InuYasha laughed

He then opened all the other gifts, he listened to his new CD with his new CD player, and he loved it. He got his shirt and put it on right away, he was so happy…well he would be if his friends were here

“Hey InuYasha, you still have this one, it's from …Kagome” Kino, the drummer and his fiancé said

He grabbed it without even saying anything, he ripped it open and it turned out to be a tape, he popped it in the VCR and pressed play, he sat in front of the screen, his band behind him.

“Hey InuYasha! It's me Kagome, I know this is a pretty lame gift but hey too bad, I just wanted to say, I never once forgot our love while you were away, I hope you're having un…I love you, forever and always” Kagome smiled, then the tape showed different clips of there years together, InuYasha was speechless, he was so close to tears

“Damn man, that is one heavy gift, you're lucky you have a girl like that” Kino said

“Yeah…I am”

“Hey man, someone wants to talk to you” Menomaru tapped InuYasha on the shoulder, he turned around to see Sesshomaru

“InuYasha, come…Now” Sesshomaru demanded

He walked upstairs with Sesshomaru and went into his room

“Tell me what is going on…right now!” Sesshomaru said

“What?” InuYasha was confused

“We know you're engaged to Kino, yet it seems to me you aren't even that great of friends” Sesshomaru said

“We aren't, the whole marriage is for publicity, we're gonna break it off in a month” InuYasha said, “Wait is that why you all were mad! You guys think I'd do that! Who do you think I am! You think that lowly of me!?” InuYasha was mad, he's friends, his best friends thought that low of him?

“What were we suppose to think?”

“You were supposed to trust me, that's what you were supposed to do!” InuYasha yelled in rage

“We do”

“Well you sure as hell have a great way of showing that!” InuYasha was on the brink of tears, how his friends and brother could think this of him

“InuYasha, we're sorry, we didn't know” Sesshomaru was getting worried, he knew how much InuYasha cared about how his friends thought of him

“I didn't do it Sesshomaru, I had too, I-I didn't” InuYasha had tears streaming down his face, he couldn't believe it

“Don't worry brother, we'll clear this up” Sesshomaru hugged his brother; they hadn't hugged since InuYasha was small, but then again InuYasha hadn't been this upset since then either. The two brothers sat there for a while before getting up and went downstairs, only to be confronted by their friends

“Um...hey InuYasha, can you call off your friends, they've been scaring us for the last 5 minutes, man” Kino said

“What's going on” InuYasha asked, his friends turned and glared at him,

“How could you! You bastard!” Sango screamed

“You hurt her, I hope you're happy!” Koga yelled

“Bastard!” Ayame screamed

“Shut it, right now, that is enough, shut up and sit down, no more talking from any of you!” Sesshomaru yelled at the group, they all stared at him in shock, they had never seen him so mad

“What you have heard has been a lie, InuYasha and Kino are only married for publicity” Sesshomaru said, glaring at all of them, they were shocked. They then put there heads down, how could they think that way…they were so sorry

“Ha, you believed that?!” Kino exclaimed

“Dude, I love you, but like a brother…so marring your brother is just nasty!” Kino laughed

“Yeah same to you Kino”

“Yash…we are so so so sorry, we didn't…” Miroku began

“It's nothing, mistakes happen, you're forgiven, and we'll always be best friends.” InuYasha said, they all smiled and hugged

“Hey where is Kagome?” InuYasha asked

“She's upstairs…you better go” Sango said

“Yeah, we'll keep your gang busy” Koga smirked

“Oh no….oh god, what have I done?!?!?!!” Asked Haru and Menomaru on their knees

InuYasha laughed and went upstairs, He turned and went into Kagome's room, she was sitting on her bed, back faced to him and crying, her sobs wracked her body and InuYasha was so sorry he caused her pain

“Go away, Sango, I don't wanna go anywhere, please leave” Kagome said in between sobs

“Kagome…” InuYasha whispered

“Go away InuYasha, I hate you, get out!” Kagome yelled, as she jumped up

“Kagome…please...listen” InuYasha pleaded

“GO AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD!” Kagome screamed

“Kagome” InuYasha said as he wrapped his arms around Kagome waist, Kagome was so used to it she turned around and hugged him tightly

“H-How could you…I thought you loved me…” Kagome sobbed on his shoulder

“I do! It was all fake! I'm not really going to marry Kino, it was for publicity!” InuYasha said in a hurry

Kagome sobbed more, InuYasha was at full panic

“You-you mean it?” Kagome sobbed

“I do, Kagome, do you really think that low of me?” InuYasha asked

“No…I just…I was so shocked, I love you InuYasha!” Kagome leaned up and kiss InuYasha on the lips

“I love you to Kag, always and forever” InuYasha said

They all went down and started celebrating. By the time it was over Sango, Kilala and Koga were drunk, and singing Marry had a little lamb until they finally passed out, the rest were all laughing and enjoying their time together, all was well and InuYasha and Kagome were together…again and definitely forever
