InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cross Dressing Mess! ❯ The Beginning of Hardships ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8: The Beginning of Hardships

 

Inuyasha sat in the conference room of his father's mansion. Apparently they were facing a problem with the company.

 

“Inuyasha! Pay attention! You are going to have to join Sesshomaru in running the company. This is the only way to keep the company going strong,” Inuyasha's father stated.

 

“What!? I don't want to run your stupid company! I thought we settled this already. I'm going to be a photographer,” Inuyasha said standing.

 

“Not anymore! People are challenging us and since I won't live much longer, you need to help take over.” Inuyasha's father had a fatal disease that began developing after Inuyasha's mother died.

 

“No, I won't. You can't put this kind of responsibility on me! You promised you wouldn't! You promised my mother!” Inuyasha exclaimed.

 

“Well we need you. So sit down and shut up,” Sesshomaru snapped. Inuyasha stormed out of the room, walking down the hallway.

 

“God Damnit! They just want to make my life miserable.” Inuyasha went up to his old room and looked around. All these bad memories began to flood his mind and he walked over to his desk. He opened his drawer to find a bag of marijuana and a couple of acid tablets. Right where he had left them. When he left the house he had left that life behind. The life of a drug addicted teenager. He moved to sit on his bed and sighed, running his hand through his hair. Hid phone began to ring and he answered it.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Hey Inuyasha. How is everything?” Kagome asked.

 

“Not very good. I'll be home soon though.”

 

“What's going on?”

 

“It's just family problems. Nothing to worry about.”

 

“Okay. Be careful coming home.”

 

“I will, bye.” He hung up and left the room. He just kept on walking not wanting to go back to that life again.

Inuyasha entered the dorm room and noticed that the only light that was on was the light on Kagome's desk. He walked over to her and noticed that she was sleeping on her homework.

 

“Kagome, wake up,” he whispered in her ear. She jolted awake looking around and smiled at Inuyasha.

 

“Hey there, did you just get in?” she asked.

 

“Yeah. Come on let's get you to bed.”

 

“What's wrong? You seem sad,” Kagome said touching his arm.

 

“It's nothing.”

 

“Okay, but when you're ready tell me and I'll listen. Right now I'm gonna go to bed.”

 

“Thank you Kagome. Do you think I could sleep in your bed tonight? I just need to stay near someone.”

 

“Sure. It'll be a little snug, but you can stay with me. Just no funny business.”

 

“I wouldn't dream of it.”

“Inuyasha Takahashi. Please report to the front gate. Your family is waiting for you.” The intercom turned off and Inuyasha sighed.

 

Kagome grabbed his hand and looked up at him.

 

“Everything's fine. Don't worry about a thing,” Inuyasha smiled.

 

“Let's walk out together then. I know that something big is going on even if you don't want to tell me what it is,” Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded and they left the safety of their dorm to see Inuyasha's family. Inuyasha saw a limo parked by the gate and noticed all the security waiting for him. He realized that they would take him by force if they had to.

 

“Kagome, you should go back now,” he whispered.

 

“Who are those people?” Kagome asked.

 

“That's probably my brother. Leave before they come over here.”

 

“Will you be okay?”

 

“Yeah. I'll be perfectly fine.” Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her cheek reassuringly. “I promise you that I will be fine.”

 

“Okay. Just call me if you need me.”

 

“I will.” Inuyasha walked away to the limo and got in. Sesshomaru sat there looking straight a head.

 

“I didn't know you were gay. When did you meet that boy?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“At the beginning of the term.”

 

“Break up with him. You're not going to have time for him. You start your training today.”

 

“What makes you thing I'm going to listen to you?”

 

“I can find out where that boy lives in an hour and I'm pretty sure you don't want him getting hurt.”

 

“You wouldn't.”

 

“I would. Don't think I won't.” Sesshomaru handed Inuyasha a phone and Inuyasha stared at it.

 

“Do it. Don't torture the poor boy.”

 

Inuyasha dialed Kagome's number, hoping she wouldn't pick up.

 

“Hello?” she asked.

 

“Hi Kagome, it's me.”

 

“Is everything okay?” she asked.

 

“Listen, I don't think we should see each other anymore.”

 

“What's that supposed to mean? We're roommates.”

 

“I'm breaking up with you.”

 

“Okay, is there a reason for this?”

 

“No, I just don't want to be with you anymore. You take too much time and energy.”

 

“Fine. Whatever. It's your decision.” Inuyasha hung up and sighed. He handed the phone back to Sesshomaru feeling as if he was stepping back into his old life.

 

“Good job. This will help you out in the long run,” Sesshomaru stated. Inuyasha ignored his brother and stared out the window. This was such a horrible feeling. He hated himself for what he just did to Kagome. He just wanted to take it all back.

Kagome sat on her bed staring at her phone. She couldn't figure out what had just happened. She just wanted to throw her phone against the wall, but resisted. She set her phone down instead and laid back sighing.

 

“Something's not right. Why would he do that so suddenly?” she asked herself.

 

Souta entered the room and sat down next to Kagome. “You okay?” he asked.

 

“Inuyasha just broke up with me,” Kagome stated.

 

“What? Really? Why did this happen?” Souta asked.

 

“I don't know. It doesn't matter though. Let's just forget about it and work on the homework.”

 

Inuyasha was definitely getting a talk when he got home.

 

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;……………………

 

Inuyasha was exhausted. He just sat through six hours of lectures about the business his father owned. Never had he hated the corporate world more than he did now. He got to his dorm and checked to see if Kagome was in. She wasn't there, but he could tell she would come home soon. He changed his clothes quickly before curling up on his bed. What he wouldn't give to hold Kagome at that moment. That was his last thought before he fell asleep.

 

Kagome stumbled into her dorm and tripped on the threshold. “Crap, why is everything so dark?” she asked. She turned on a light and saw that Inuyasha was sleeping on his bed. She smiled and turned off the lights again. She sighed and made her way to her bed.

 

“Kagome? Is that you?” Inuyasha asked waking up.

 

“Yeah, it's me.” Kagome felt her bed get weighed down as Inuyasha climbed in behind her.

 

“I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore Kagome,” Inuyasha whispered.

 

“It's okay. You don't have to be sorry. I know that you didn't want to break up with me. You're just trying to do what's best,” Kagome smiled and turned to face him.

 

“I hate my family. Ever since my mother died they tried to suck me into their mess.”

 

“I'll always be here for you. Talk to me whenever you need to.”

 

“I'm glad. I really need you now. I don't think I can handle corporate life without you.”

 

“Why don't you just tell them that you don't want to work for them?”

 

“They won't listen. They say they need me to run the company, but all they really want is for our family to keep running the company so they don't have to sell the company.”

 

Kagome sighed and snuggled into his chest. “I'm sorry Inuyasha. Maybe a good night's rest will make things better. Good night.”

 

“Good night Kagome. I love you.”

 

“I love you too.” Kagome leaned up and kissed his cheek before finally falling asleep. It wasn't long before Inuyasha followed her.

A/N: Another chapter! Sorry for the sadness. I guess my emotions are reflecting in my writing. Next chapter I think we will learn more of Inuyasha's past and how he deals with his new responsibility.
