Decisions

On the third day I had to work. I was supposed to go to work tomorrow too but knowing Inuyasha, my attempts to get him to let me stay would be futile. I wore my favorite outfit; outrageously baggy red and black pants that had three straps hanging on the back, crisscrossing. They cost a hell of a lot of money but it was worth it. My shirt was the opposite, it was a little tight but not like a second skin. It had the words `Angel or Devil' printed on it, it was black also. The black also contrasted nicely with the sparkly silver `Angel', and the sparkly red `Devil.' Oh crap I gotta get going or else I'll be late.

(A/N: yes I know I spent a paragraph describing clothes but they're actually my clothes and this ifs my fic.)

The Supermarket that I work at was really big so it was sort of easy to get lost. (A/n: think Costco's size.) I was one of the lucky people to get to work at one of the cashiers near the exit, but that also meant that I was near Hojo. Right next to him to be specific. I've known the guy since I was in middle school and now that I'm in high school he's trying to date me more than ever. He's a nice guy and everything; it's just that his cluelessness and his slight stubbornness are a tad more than annoying. I sure hope that he doesn't come to work today. Not only would he pester me but Inuyasha would smell him on me, which means that I would have to take a shower before I left.

"Hey Kagome, I didn't think you'd be coming in today." A familiar voice said. It was Hojo. Great, I thought. I just finished wishing that he didn't come today and here he is. The fates must not like me or something.

"Me neither." I lied.

If there was one way to get out of a conversation with someone like Hojo you had to lie, and use a tone of voice that offered no room for further discussion. Which was exactly what I did and like I'd hoped, he'd left me alone. I hated to hurt his feelings but there was a time when you had to let people know that enough was enough.

Work dragged by as usual although the only incident involved another cashier and a forty year old woman. Apparently her membership card was expired but she didn't think it was. They had to activate a new account right in front of her just so she could stop ranting about unjust customer service. In the locker room I was getting my stuff together to go home. I still had to pack some necessary items and take a shower. During all three of my breaks Hojo hung around me like a lost puppy. It was degrading. He insisted on me going on a date with him but I told him that with my hectic schedule I couldn't possibly find the time to date anyone. That was true to a certain extent, I did have a massively hectic schedule, but I really could find the time to date anyone that I wanted to. T he only problem was that I knew it wouldn't work out with Hojo and me. Oh well no point in thinking about what will never be.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I climbed out of the well just as the sun started to set. It was always a beautiful thing to watch, all of those colors blending into one natural masterpiece. It was still a little early compared to when everybody expected me back so I decided to walk through the forest. I was a little shortcut that I'd found a few weeks ago but I haven't been able to take it because of Inuyasha's impatience. He'd been coming to the well to get me; I swear the only thing that he cares about is those damn jewel shards. Although I've often heard the others talking amongst themselves about how it's obvious that Inuyasha loves me. What a load of crap. As I walked deeper into the woods I heard voices. One of them I recognized right away so I easily guessed who he was talking to. I hid in behind one of the larger bushes to eavesdrop on their conversation, even though I had an idea of what they might say.

"How much longer, Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked. She was partially hidden from my sight but not enough to completely obstruct my view.

"The jewel is almost complete but the larger portion is in Naraku's hands." Inuyasha answered. "We have a good sized portion ourselves but there are still more to be found."

"That's good. Soon you'll be able to join me in hell and we shall truly be together. Does that reincarnated wench know about this?" she asked.

"Please, the bitch is clueless and I'll make sure she stays that way." He answered.

While all this was going on my aura was steadily growing and blackening by the second. If I this happened about a year ago or maybe even two I would be deeply hurt and crying my eyes out. But I wasn't the same fragile fifteen year old who fell through the well two years ago. Now I'm beyond pissed and looking for revenge, but first I'll have a little fun. I quietly set by enormous yellow bag down and stepped from behind the bush.

"So I'm clueless am I?" I said. Inuyasha jumped and Kikyo's dead eyes showed a little surprise in them.

"Kagome," Inuyasha said. "What are you doing here?"

"I said that I would be back in three days didn't I? And you of all people should be a little happy that I came back on time instead of you having to come get me." I replied "And besides I think I did us both a favor seeing as how you were a little preoccupied. And to think, what if I hadn't come back on time? First of all you wouldn't be in this situation and second you would've never came back to get me."

"But Kagome, I can explain." Inuyasha started. He must really think I'm clueless if he thinks that he can explain his way out of this one. But why not let him squirm?

"I was just walking back to the well to get you when I saw Kikyo and I got a little sidetracked." He said.

"Well why didn't you say so?" I said in an overly cheerful voice. "Then I guess that little comment about me being a clueless bitch was part of being sidetracked?"

"What Inuyasha says is none of you business you reincarnated filth. Whether you like it or not Inuyasha will come to hell with me after your little journey is over." Kikyo said.

The last thing I needed was to hear that whore's dead voice if I was to hold on to the last of my sanity. My aura was already floating violently around me and my threads of control were unraveling, as all this was going on. But that made me snap.

"Listen and listen good you zombie concubine, I really don't care if Inuyasha goes to heaven, hell or wanders this place like you. The only thing on my mind right now is revenge. Revenge for all of the hurt he's caused me whenever he came to see you. I stopped caring long ago and started plotting. Just how clueless do you think I am anyway? I've know that he's been coming to you in the middle of the night for some time now and the only thing that's keeping me from exacting my revenge is my friends. But I will make sure to make him suffer and you will stay out of my way." Without my noticing my hair got longer and it was now streaked with blood-red highlights. I also filled out in all the right places and my voice got a little womanlier.

I wasn't a youkai but I was still miko. Then it clicked, I was a vampire. I've read about how a person changes into a vampire and apparently that was happening with me. I could hear the fearful heartbeats of the two ingrates before me and smiled with pleasure and bloodlust. However I had more important things to attend to so I wouldn't feed on them yet.

`Let them live in fear and show them their place when the time is right.' Voice said in my head. It was my inner demon.

I agreed and returned my attention to the hanyou and the clay doll.

"But Kagome," Inuyasha said. "Why?" Man he really could be a dunce sometimes.

"I'll tell you why my cute little idiot dog boy." I said. "It's because all this time you've failed to realize that I loved you and instead went to a corpse who didn't even like you. I loved you for who you are and she would only accept you if you were human. All the countless times that you've left me to be with her made me love you less and less and I stopped crying about it after the first few times. So I'm just saying that enough is enough and I hope that you'll find better use of her than with me just being your shard detector." As I turned to leave Inuyasha stopped me with his voice, but I didn't turn around. If he kept this up I'd never be able to leave.

"Kagome you really loved me?"

"Of course you moron but take note of the `ed' at the end of the word. In other words I loved you then but I can only tolerate your existence now. Goodbye Inuyasha." Then I broke into a run. I did of course have to carry my bag but it wasn't that heavy so I could still run pretty fast with it. I decided to go to Kaede's hut to bid everyone goodbye. It would be unfair to them if I just left without saying a word.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Momma!" an excited Shippo exclaimed. He'd taken to calling me `momma' a while ago and it sort of made me feel special, in a weird motherly way. I didn't mind though, Shippo didn't have anyone else, and I am like a mother to him so it made sense.

"Kagome where have you been we've been worried sick about you." Sango said in a worried voice. She was like my big sister and Miroku was like my perverted brother or cousin. It was a shame that I'd be leaving them, I would never get to see Sango's face when Miroku finally confesses his love for her.

"I'm fine Sango, you don't need to worry all the time." I said. It really was true. Sometimes Sango worried about me a little too much, but I still appreciated it.

"Lady Kagome have you by any chance seen Inuyasha?" Miroku asked in his ever calm voice.

"Yeah I saw him, but he's busy at the moment so I just came back by myself." I made sure not to tell them about what'd transpired in the forest because Sango would want to pound him into a pulp and Shippo'd want to bite his ears off. I guess it would be best to tell them now, instead of waiting any longer.

"Um, guys, I'm leaving the group to travel on my own."
