Flesh and Blood
Anubis_Himura
Now
Kagome went to her apartment but didn’t feel like sleeping. She hated Kouga. He was rude, cocky, and treated her friends like crap. So why did she stay with him? Loneliness. She was afraid of being alone. She shook her head and began working on her paper for Psych. She couldn’t have slept even if she wanted to.
**
Inuyasha knocked loudly on the door. He was about to break it down when Kagome opened it. “What?” She asked grogily.
“You missed class this morning.” He said, handing her a coffee. “I thought you were sick.”
She looked at the clock on the wall as she let Inuyasha by. She noticed it was nearly noon. “Fuck.” She said.
“Uh oh. Should I find a safe hiding place?” he asked.
She shook her head. “I stayed up working on the stupid paper. I must have forgotten to set my alarm.” She shrugged. “What did I miss?”
Inuyasha began filling her in on the lesson and she nodded as she listened. “Do you have notes?” he scoffed.
“You are the same Kagome who’s known me for ten years?” He asked.
“Right. Stupid question. I’ll have to ask Nat or Ms. Birke herself.”
Inuyasha pulled out a sheet of paper. Kagome looked at it. “This is notes.” She said.
“When I saw you weren’t coming I decided to take a few. You should probably still get them from someone.” Kagome smiled.
“Thanks.” She said.
“What-”
“If you even think about saying ‘whatever’ I will kick your ass.” She said.
“Ever” he finished.
Kagome growled at him. “That’s pretty good. From the throat more.” He joked.
She threw a pillow at him.
“Ouch.” He mocked. “I’m injured.”
“Jerk!”
There was another knock on the door and Sango and Miroku came in before Kagome could answer.
“Hey.” They said.
“Hey.”
“What did the Jerk do now?” Sango asked, sitting next to Inuyasha on the couch.
“Absolutely nothing.” Inuyasha said innocently.
“He’s just a jerk.” Kagome muttered, sitting next to Miroku.
“Well, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Can you?” Miroku laughed and the girls suppressed their giggles.
Inuyasha growled and chucked a pillow at Miroku. “I was just kidding.” He said, still laughing. But Inuyasha didn’t say anything for a long time.
“So Kagome, how was work?” Sango asked.
“Fine.” Kagome said. “Kouga showed up.” Inuyasha scoffed. “Him and Yash got into a little tiff.” Kagome explained.
“He tried to kill me!” Yash said. “I would have killed him but Kagome stopped me.”
“Like I’m going to let his death be on your conscience.” She retorted, rolling her eyes.
“How’s that paper going?” Sango asked.
“Fine. I’ve gotten like ten pages done.” Kagome said. Sango looked at her knowingly. “What?” Kagome asked.
“Nothing.” Sango said quickly. Kagome stared her down. “It’s just that, Miroku and I saw you at the club with Yash on Sunday. When you were suppose to be working on your paper.”
“I just wanted to get out.” Kagome said, trying to make it sound casual.
“Not with Kouga.” Miroku coughed.
Kagome let out a rush of air. “You guys hate Kouga anyway. Shouldn’t you be happy I went with Yash?” She asked.
“Yeah. But Yash might think you’re leading him on.” Sango said.
“Or, he might get the wrong idea and use it to bait Kouga.” Miroku suggested.
“Hey, brainiacs. I’M RIGHT HERE!” Inuyasha shouted.
“We know.” The three of them said in unison. Then they started laughing.
**
Kagome got cornered into seeing Kouga on Friday night. Inuyasha offered to come as a sort of bodyguard, but she shook him off. Kagome was led into the restaurant and they were seated. Kouga sat across from her and ordered a bottle of champagne. Kagome hated champagne. She began looking through the menu.
“Ooh that sounds good.” She said, pointing to something on the menu. “The chicken and shrimp combo.”
“You don’t want to eat that.” He said. “It’s far too much food. You don’t need to eat it.”
Kagome bit her tongue. So what was he saying? That she was fat enough already? She let it go.
“Hello, I am Jean I will be your waiter this evening.” The man smiled to Kagome and said, “Would you like to hear our specials?”
“No.” Kouga answered. “I’ll have the grilled chicken parmesan.”
“Very well.” The man said. “And for the lovely lady.”
Kagome looked hesitantly for a minute and then closed the menu. “I’ll just have a garden salad.” She smiled.
“Dressing?” he asked politely. “We have a lovely raspberry vinaigrette this evening.”
“No thank you.”
“Very well.” He took the menus. “Thank you.” He said and headed back to the kitchen.
Kagome looked down, playing with the hem of her skirt. She felt very self-conscious now that Kouga had made that comment, even if he didn’t mean it that way.
“I like that outfit on you.” He said. Kagome looked up and smiled at him. “It hides your extra flesh amazingly.”
Kagome wanted to cry. Had he seriously just said that? She felt awkward now. – So he does think I’m fat! The jerk! -
The waiter came back with dinner rolls before leaving again. Kagome was hungry and loved restaurant rolls, but didn’t want to eat now. She wanted to go home, call Inuyasha and cry. The food arrived and she picked at her green salad. She loved salad . . . when it had dressing, or chicken, or something. She put her fork down and smiled.
“I’ll be right back.” She interrupted Kouga (Who was talking about his latest achievement in something or other), as she stood up.
She went to the bathroom and began crying. She didn’t know why it bothered her so much. “Probably because Inuyasha always tells me how pretty I am,” she said out loud. “Then again he’s my friend, and he could just be trying to make me feel better.” She shook her head. “No. Inuyasha would never lie to me.”
She felt better and looked in the mirror, but couldn’t see the beauty that Inuyasha allegedly saw. She wiped her tears away with a moist paper towel and went back out to the dinning room.
She sat down again and continued eating her salad. Kouga paid for the meal, though Kagome offered him the three dollars for her salad, and they left.
Kouga took her back to his place, where the scent of vanilla scented candles filled her nose. Kouga turned on the radio and they sat on the couch. Kagome wondered if he was going to try anything. Her wondering was soon stopped as Kouga’s mouth sought hers.
“Kouga stop it.” She said, backing away.
“Why?” He asked, ignoring her and kissing her neck.
“I should go.” She said, trying to stand up.
“Shh.” Kouga said, pushing her down onto the couch and climbing on top of her.
“Kouga, I mean it. I want to go home now.” She said.
“Shh.” He repeated.
“No! Kouga I want to go home!”
Kouga gave up. “Fine.” He stood up and Kagome followed him to his car. He took her home and sped off. She rolled her eyes and went up to her apartment.
She started crying again when she entered the door. She didn’t like feeling bad about herself, but when her boyfriend told her the truth so bluntly, she couldn’t help it. She didn’t realize Inuyasha was waiting for her.
