“Hey, It's me. I wanted to tell you this in person but… Kagome, you know I love you. I really do. But, I've been watching you. We're both destined to be with other people. Just, don't go running to that mutt. I love you too much to see you with him.”
~End of messages~
Kagome fumbled with the buttons for a minute before she could remember how to dial.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. “Hey! It's Kouga. I'm not here right now. Do the thing after the beep.”
“It's me… *sob* call me. Please? I need to talk to you. We… you… Please call me.”
More fumbling with the phone. Her eyes were swarming with tears. She couldn't think straight. Kagome's heart was literally hurting. The phone beeped and she heard it ring once, twice, and then an extra half and a friendly, husky voice answered, “Hey, what do you need? I'm kinda busy.”
“InuYasha?” Her voice was strangled, “Help me.” It came out as barely a raspy whisper.
“Kagome? Are you okay? Where are you? I'll be right there!” he sounded panicked.
“I'm at my house. It hurts.” She sobbed.
“I'll be there in three minutes. Is it alright if I let myself in?”
“Yeah. Just- come over.”
The line went dead and Kagome's frail body collapsed in a heap in her foyer. Her entire body trembled with shallow sobs. She pulled her knees to her chest and she bit her hand to keep from screaming.
The door lock scraped and the door flung open.
Warm arms wrapped around Kagome's shaking body. InuYasha gingerly lifted her off the floor and carried her to the bed, pulled back the covers and laid her in it. “Kagome, tomodachi, what happened?”
“Kouga. He. He. And now we're nothing. He doesn't love me! I can't- ah!” Her sobs grew louder and she curled her arms around InuYasha's neck and cried into his neck.
“Shh… It'll all be okay. When did it happen?”
“Phone message.”
“I'll be right back.” He pulled himself away and pulled the covers over her.
He walked out of her room and pressed play on the message machine, “Hey, It's me. I wanted to tell you this in person but… Kagome, you know I love you. I really do. But, I've been watching you. We're both destined to be with other people. Just, don't go running to that mutt. I love you too much to see you with him.”
~End of messages~
InuYasha flinched and he picked his cell phone out of his pocket, dialed a number and walked to the kitchen while it rang.
“Hello?” the voice on the other end said curiously.
“Kouga. How dare you?!” InuYasha ground out through his teeth.
“InuYasha? Is that you mutt?” Kouga snarled.
“What possessed you to leave that kind of message? Kagome is lying in bed, crying her living daylights out and all you can think to do is insult me? I should tear your insides out with my bare hands for what you've done to her! Where are you? I should just come over and kill you now!” InuYasha's grip tightened on the ceramic mug he was clutching. The kettle hissed and Kagome's tea was ready.
“Isn't that similar to the pot calling the kettle black? You've hurt her so many times and I'm stuck picking up the pieces. How do you think I felt? Putting her back together from a dribbling, sobbing heap that she was after you would fight with her. You're lucky you're not drowning in a pool of your own blood. Stay away from Kagome. Let her heal by herself. You just- don't get involved with her. I will end you.”
“You'd be lucky to last half a second against me. And I'm going to stay as close to Kagome as I can. She needs me and I hate you. Go to hell you ass hole!” and InuYasha snapped his phone shut and returned to Kagome.
“InuYasha?” Kagome whimpered, “I need my best friend right now.”
“Yes. I'm here.” He set the tea down on her bedside table and embraced her in a bear hug.
“I don't understand! What did I do? We were happy! I love him more than I love myself! Send me back in time! Send me back to where I could fix the problem! Please! Just make this pain go away!” Kagome sobbed into InuYasha's shoulder.
InuYasha rubbed her back lightly, “I would if I could. I'll do my best. Just, drink this.” He pulled himself away and placed the mug in her hand.
She sipped at it and then began to cry again, “Kouga used to make me jasmine tea when I was sick!” the mug slipped from her hands and hundreds of blue ceramic pieces flew all over the floor as it shattered.
“Will you stay with me tonight? Please? I don't wanna be alone with myself.” Kagome whispered.
“Of course. I'll stay here as long as you need me.” InuYasha's eyes were filled with tears. It hurt him to see his strong, tough Kagome broken and hurting like she was before him.
Kagome scooted over on the bed and allowed space for InuYasha to sit. It was 11 o'clock at night and Kagome's eyes were dry from all of her crying. InuYasha hummed lullabies that he'd heard somewhere, although he couldn't quite place them. Within a few minutes, Kagome was asleep with her head in InuYasha's lap. InuYasha leaned his head back against the wall and stared at the ceiling. In his heart, he longed for Kagome to be his. He'd wanted her since the day he set his eyes on her. They built themselves up and he had become her best friend and she was his. Many nights he stayed up while she slept to watch her sleep and admire her beauty.
As he lay there remembering, Kagome stirred in her sleep and whimpered out a feeble cry and wrapped her arms tightly around InuYasha's waist. How he wished that she wasn't broken and miserable. How he wished that she was his and he could make her happy. He thought long and hard about what he was going to do for her and how long it would take her to get over Kouga. As he was thinking, he drifted off into a restless sleep.
