Inuyasha arrived at his father's office, with Sesshoumaru, still irritated because of the interruption.  He sat in front of the desk, across his dad, who had a serious look on his face. Inuyasha's father had a international commerce company and Sesshoumaru worked with him.

"Inuyasha", he said, nodding.
"Father. You wanted to talk to me?", Inuyasha said, trying to hide his anger.
"We have a very important issue to address. I see you are having a sexual relationship with one of your employees".
Inuyasha gasped. "I wouldn't call it that, but yes, I'm in a relationship with Kagome. She's my girlfriend", he answered.
"I see. Well, I'm afraid she's not who you think she is", his father said, dropping a magazine on his desk, in front of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat. His worst fear was right in front of him. The cover of the magazine had several photos of him and Kagome, kissing, lying on the couch, on his desk, groping each other, doing things he didn't want anyone to see. He was confused. The photos seemed to be taken from somewhere hidden in one of his shelves.

"Okay, so what's that about? Someone sneaked in a hidden camera and took these to sell to a magazine. Do we know who the bastard is?", he said, trying to sound calm.
"Yes, we do. You can take a look at the interview inside the magazine, there's a post-it on the page", his father said.
Inuyasha opened the magazine and quickly glanced over the words that were among the same photos on the cover. It was an interview. With Kagome. "Okay, so it's probably just someone trying to sound like her. It doesn't mean it was her", Inuyasha said, shivering a little.
"I recommend that you read it thoroughly before making up your mind on that matter".

Inuyasha took his time reading the entire piece. He couldn't believe it. It had details of their encounters. It mentioned all of their dates, where they've been, what they ate, what they talked about. It was impossible for someone to make this up.
Inuyasha stood up from his chair, baffled. He couldn’t believe it. He was convinced Kagome wouldn't do such thing. She couldn't be that deceiving. She is worst than the others!

"Son, I'm sorry. I know this isn't what you expected, but that just goes to show you to be careful of the people you trust".

He got out of his father's office, running, confused and hopeless. He was now sure. Kagome wasn't who he thought she was. He thought maybe he could go talk to her, hear her side of the story. No, it can't be something else. Those detailsÉ Some of the things that were there I haven't told anyone else, just her. I trusted her. There's no point in talking to her. I don't ever wanna see her again. She betrayed me.

He immediately called one of his HR employees, telling him to fire Kagome, paying what he had to, nothing else. His employee was confused. He asked him if he was sure of that, and he said an angry "yes", then hung up.
He went home and told his staff to not let Kagome in under any circumstances. He called the security at his office's building and told them the same. Kagome was gone from his life. And he would cut out anyone who even dared say her name.

After taking the necessary measures to expel Kagome out of his life, he took a shower, trying to get rid of her scent. He told his housekeeping to wash every sheet, couch and surface she touched. He laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. I thought she might be the one. How could I've been such a fool? She never liked me, she just wanted to be known as the woman who made him fall in love for, like she said in the interview. She even told them they had sex! That part wasn't true, but of course she would say that, to make it even more scandalous.

She was the only girlfriend who sold a story to the press. The others were happy to get the media's attention, answering every question they were asked on events and such and posing happily for photos. Kagome stoop lower than them.

He felt crushed. In the back of his mind, he expected something like that to happen. He thought that maybe she would eventually like the attention, but that was something he could deal with. He just didn't expect something as serious as this. She seemed down to Earth, her mom looked like someone who was humble and caring, not someone who would raise a woman that would sell herself to the media, for attention.

The next day, a Saturday, Kagome got an early call from the company's HR.

"WHAT?! No, it's a mistake, it can't be! Is this a joke? Inuyasha will pay, I know he's just doing this to mess with me".
"I'm s-sorry, Kagome. I was very confused when he called me and told me to fire youÉ but he didn't even wanna hear me. He was so angry. I'm sorry", her co worker said.
"No, that can't be. I'll call him".

After trying his cell numerous times, she finally accepted that he changed his number. She drove to his house to know what kind of sick joke this was.

"I'm sorry, miss Kagome. I can't let you come in", the man at the gate said.
"What do you mean?! I know he's there, I can see his car! I HAVE to talk to him!", Kagome shouted.
"I'm sorryÉ I really can't. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. Mr. Takahashi told me to call the police if you refused".

Kagome's heart sank. It really was true. This wasn't a joke. What happened? Why won't he tell me what's going on?!

She decided to call Sango. She was dating Miroku, she probably knew something.

"Kagome, I-IÉ don't know. Miroku hasn't told me anything. I don't know what's happeningÉ", Sango said, perplexed. "I'm going to call him and I'll get back to you as soon as I find out something".

After a few minutes, Sango called Kagome back.

"Kagome, I'm sorry, but Miroku doesn't know a thing. He even called Inuyasha, but he said he doesn't want to talk to him or anyone else. HeÉ he just wants you out of his life, he saidÉ and then he hung up". Sango's heart broke for her friend. She knew how much the couple liked each other. Hell, they might even love each other. What could've happened? She thought that whatever reason Inuyasha had to act like that, he at least had to have the decency to explain it to Kagome.

Kagome hung up unconsciously after hearing what Sango said. She decided to take a walk. She felt numb. She couldn't cry, she couldn't be angry. She was just confused, trying to play every scenario on her mind. What could've happened? InuyashaÉ

She went past a newsstand and her eyes immediately found the gossip magazine. She never read stuff like that and she never watched TV, but her eyes were caught. There she was, on the cover of a magazine, kissing Inuyasha.

"Oh my GodÉ"

She bought the magazine and hurried home. Going straight to her room, she read the article about her and Inuyasha, gawking at the details only she and him knew. She realized what had happened and started crying. This was bad.

"Who could've done that? Why did someone try to pretend they were me? Inuyasha believes it was meÉ how could he? Didn't he trust me? He knows I would never do such a thing!".

She called Sango and told her everything, between sobs.

"Sango, he doesn't trust me. He thinks I did it. He didn't even ask me! He just read it and believed it! How could he? I can't believe this is happeningÉ I thought we were good, I thought things would only get better and that maybe he was the one for me. We were about to sleep together last night, before his brother interrupted us".
"Kagome, I'm SO sorryÉ you have every right to be angry. He should have known better. Any one who knows you would never think you were capable of such thing. You have to talk to him", her friend said, trying to console her.
"You know what? If he doesn't trust me and thinks that low of me, why should I bother with worrying about him? I don't wanna be with someone like that! I'm the one who doesn't want anything to do with him now! We're done, we're really done. I'll get over this. He doesn't deserve my tears", Kagome said, trying her best to stop crying.

This is itÉ everything we hadÉ is gone. I can't even look at him. And I have to find a new jobÉ
