InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harmony Parking Lot ❯ Confusion ( Chapter 3 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

"Hey you kids!" Shit we had been spotted! Here we go again. I was still feeling the rush of Kagome's lips on mine and now with this adrenaline I was feeling practically invincible. I picked up Kagome and jumped over the fence forgetting that everyone could see me make a humanly impossible feat, but explanations are reserved for later right now all I care about is out running the pig that was following us.

All of us had made it to a fire escape which we realized could help us slip the cop. We remained quiet watching as the cop caught up and ran right past us down the alleyway. Everyone started laughing and I reopened the bottle of whiskey I had. Kagome sat on one of the fire escape sets while the rest of us were on the second story landing. She looked deep in thought while a bit of wind manage to rip through at play through her hair.

I sprung her out of thought when I offered her the rest of the bottle. She reached out her hand and smiled as she then lifted the bottle up to her mouth. I couldn't believe that she managed to chug it all in one shot. I had never met a girl who could compete with me on the amount of alcohol intake. When there wasn't a drop left Kagome threw it on the ground below and gave another smile rising slowly to her feet.


We jumped off the fire escape and began walking back to Miroku's pad. The rain had lightened up a bit again and the clouds were moving onward leaving a hole in the cloudy sky filled with stars. This night had been more than I would have expected. I wish it didn't have to end not just yet. I stayed in the back with Kagome as we went through twists and turns searching for the street that would bring us home.

Man I need a smoke. I flipped open the pack I had stored in my back pocket along with a blue b.i.c lighter. As I lit the smoke I looked over to see Kagome shaking her head slightly.

“What?” I said looking over at her.

“How can you smoke such shit?”

“There is nothing like smoking GPC cigarettes because any smoke will kill ya, but these will make you feel like it.” I replied letting the smoke filter out of my mouth. Kagome just let out a little laugh and looked onwards.

Kagome was taken from me when Kouga came back to where we were and started talking to her. That fucking bastard...and there is something weird about him that I can’t put a finger on.

“Kagome, why are you paying that kid so much attention?” Kouga asked putting his arm around Kagome.

“What do you mean Kouga?”

“Inuyasha is a loser.” Kouga grinned...fucking bastard he knows I can hear them...

“I don’t think so.” Kagome smiled. A quick rush of warmth filled me.

“Kagome, I don’t want to see you get hurt.” Kouga was almost pleading her.

“Oh Kouga you know I love you.” My ship to paradise was now filling up with water thanks to a gaping a hole. She kissed me not him...who was she trying to kid.

“Really?” Kouga face grew red and he let out a blush...while mine grew a different shade of red.

“Yeah of course you are like my brother!” Ha Inuyasha 1, Kouga 0.

“That’s not what I meant Kagome...” Kouga pouted.

“I know.” Kagome turned her attention to Sango who was to her right leaving Kouga with a dumb look on his face.

We finally got to the building and went inside to the elevator, but Miroku started to frown when the elevator didn’t come down once he pressed the button. The rest of them let out a sigh and began walking up the stairs to the bar and to the door besides it. I had never noticed it before, but then again there was no reason to. The door opened up to a staircase.

Miroku was staggering and blubbering as we hit the first step. He was barely able to focus on anyone and once we hit the first platform Miroku buckled under and laid flat on his face. Everyone turned towards him and went by his side.

“Guys go on without me!” Miroku said curling up to the next step.

“Come on Miroku we just have two more sets of stairs, you can make it.” Skunk said trying to nudge him with his foot.

“Come on Hojo help me out here!” Skunk yelled putting on of Miroku’s arms around him.

“I can’t lift him.” Skunk gave Hojo a glare and then looked over to Kouga and I. I hope I don’t regret this.
I went over to Miroku who was now knocked out completely and picked up the other arm.

We were two steps from the fire escape door that led into our apartment which I still couldn’t believe I never really noticed. Miroku began to stir and rolled his head over towards me...here comes the part that I would regret.

“Inuyasha you...you are so fucking crazy, but you know what, you are one of my best friends. I love you man.” Miroku slurred and then his face went even paler and a lump developed in his throat. There was no time to react I was covered. It was one thing to be covered in my own puke, but fuck when it is someone else’s that is the line.

Sango opened the door while Skunk and I took Miroku and threw him down in the bathroom. Miroku let out a cough and then another wave hit and it was deja vu only this time I wasn’t the one hugging the toilet. I
went back out of the bathroom and saw Kagome curled up on the couch with her head on Kouga as he stroked her hair...that mother fucker.

“What’s wrong with Kagome?” I asked making my presence known.

“She blacked out.” Sango offered getting up, “How is Miroku?” Sango looked a little worried.

“Ha he is hunched over puking out his stomach. But he is fine.” Lurching noises then could be heard echoing in the background. Sango went over to the bathroom to check on him. I couldn’t believe that a girl would actually care for that weirdo.

“Hey Kouga lets get Kagome on a bed.” Skunk said looking at her passed out and looking uncomfortable.
Skunk winked at me as he went over to Kagome and lifted her off of the couch. I wasn’t sure what was happening until he started walking towards my bedroom.

“I can watch over her.” Kouga said realizing where Skunk was taking her.

“Kouga you look like you’re about to pass out too, and this bedroom is closer to the bathroom.” Hojo said not really understanding the big deal. Good ol’ Hoagie never putting the dots together.


Kouga just hissed and went into the bedroom next to mine so he could still stay close. As if I would do anything to her while she isn’t even conscious. Skunk went over to a room at the far end of the hall and Hojo went to the room before.

I sat next to Kagome throwing off my shoes, man they were getting scuffed and were almost about to break. She rolled over on her side and was facing me. She looked really peaceful as she slept. I laid down next to her and pulled the covers over us.

“Inuyasha..” Kagome whispered as her eyes slowly opened.

“Hey drunky.” I smiled.

“Where are we?” Kagome asked unable to make anything out in the dark. Fuck...this is going to sound horrible, oh you know Kagome you passed out so I put you in my bed...yeah smooth.

“You were passed out on the couch so Skunk put you in my room so you could be comfortable.” Hopefully she doesn’t take that the wrong way after all for once I was telling the truth.

“Oh, well you can stay on that side of the bed then and don‘t think of doing anything funny.” Kagome said rolling back over and falling back asleep. All hope I had of doing anything with her was dashed and turned into ashes. I did the only thing I could do and closed my eyes then drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to see Kagome was missing. Which wouldn't normally make me curious except for the fact that it was three in the morning. I rose up and went out into the kitchen finding her on the sofa watching tv. She looked fine except for a small bag below her eyes from lack of sleep.

“What are you doing up so early?” I asked stretching my arms out.

“Oh sorry did I wake you?” She asked apologetically.

“No, I just noticed you weren’t in bed so I wanted to see if you were ok.”

“I couldn’t really sleep, you snore really loud.” Nice one Inuyasha way to hit it off with Kagome..

“Sorry, so what are you watching?” I went over and sat next to her.

“I don’t know actually there isn’t really anything on.” I looked at her, now was the time to make my move I blew it once...and there aren’t many times you get a second chance. I noticed a lock of her black hair was in her face and I realized my next move.

I reached out and slowly brushed her hair off of her face while staring right into her eyes. This always worked. She looked at me and gave a little blush. I was almost there I pulled in closer, but right as I drew near her lips she looked the other way and my face bumped into the side of her head. There was no way of trying to play smooth out of that situation I rubbed my nose and sat back in the couch.

“You know Inuyasha you are no better than Kouga, Hojo, or Miroku.” Kagome sighed...why do I get the feeling that I just got put in the dog house?

“What makes you say that?”

“You three are all the same, thank god Miroku likes Sango more and Hojo is just too shy. But you and Kouga both think that all of a sudden I’m just going to leap into your arms and fall instantly in love with you.” Kagome said this completely nonchalantly, but her eyes gave a stare that made me want to tuck in a tail between my legs.

“You are the one that kissed me!” I retorted.

“Yeah, but I was drunk too. Now that isn’t much of an excuse I know, but neither is you using that kiss as a mark that I like you.” I really couldn’t think at this point. Everything raced through my mind that kiss what she said to Kouga about me and yet here she was denying any feelings towards me. This girl was way more confusing than even that psycho girl in the old town.

“Do you even know anything about me? What is my middle name?” She continued. I was fucked...I was dealing with someone more stubborn than what I had originally thought.

“Ugh...Nicole?” I guessed taking one of the more common middle names I’ve heard.

“No, trick question I don’t have one.” Kagome was really busting my balls now.

“What the hell is the main issue here? Don’t think that kiss didn’t mean anything because I know damn well that it did.” Kagome didn’t say anything she just drifted off into a different world...I sat there as unease riddled my mind. After a long moment of silence with tension you could cut with a paper clip Kagome opened her lips to say something.

“I’m sorry I blew up like that, but it’s just I don’t know you and I’m tired of people telling me they care when they don’t know the first thing about me...how can you care for someone you don’t know.” There was a lot more to what was on her mind than that. I can see through her, but I will deal with the hand that I was dealt if she only wants to open up a little I’ll play along until I get her to crack.

“Well what do you want to know?” I asked sitting back up.

“I don’t know where do you come from why do you constantly move around? I don’t even know your last name.” Why did she want to know those things. They don’t matter.

“Look you don’t want to know about my past. I move from town to town so I can experience the world and not be tied down.”

“So basically you have commitment issues." Kagome said raising an eyebrow.

"I wouldn't say it like that..." I should have just shut up, I let her put a foot in the door and now it's too late to bale. Man I don't want to talk about this.

"Then what are you hiding?"

"From what I hear you are constantly worried about school and wouldn't jump over a gated fence or go to the bar down the road , but in comes me and what do you know. Who are you trying to kid. Who are you trying to be?" I had the upper hand again I was out from the depths.

"Don't think you know me. You don't know anything about me and that is my point. Inuyasha just forget about that kiss and everything ok." It didn't help either when I looked the other way only to see Kouga leaning against the wall.

"What are you doing to Kagome?" Kouga snarled.

"I'm not doing anything to her." Kagome suddenly got up and went over to Kouga. Is this a dream? What the hell is going on...is Kagome the one breaking me?

" Kouga it's ok. I'm going back to bed." Kagome touched Kouga's shoulder and then headed to the hallway...but instead of going back to my room she headed to Kouga's.

"Leave Kagome alone! If you know what is good for you. She doesn't need a guy like you." Kouga said coldly. I really hate this guy and I'm in a band with him fuck.

"And exactly what kind of guy am I?"

"You don't give a fuck about her you'll have sex with any girl that walks. Don't think that I don't smell that pathetic yearning you have towards her." And that's when it hit me, the thing that I have been trying to figure out was right there all along. Kouga was a demon.

"You're just worried that now you have competition. I mean Hoagie is too timid to do anything, but you and I we have more than him. You may be able to hide it from the rest of the world, but I know your secret." Kouga just glared and walked off after Kagome.

I fell back on the couch and hit the pillow behind me with a loud thud. What am I going to do now...I pissed off Kagome and Kouga is with her right now. It wasn't suppose to be like this.

__________________________________

Kagome sat down and leaned her head on Kouga. She didn't know what she was doing, she just couldn't let herself fall for anyone. She wasn't even sure if she liked Kouga, but she was just so upset by what Inuyasha had said that she just needed comfort and even though Kouga was in love with her and she wasn't he was still one person that she always went to when she was down.

"Kouga...what do I do?" Kagome sighed.

"Let go of Inuyasha, how many times do I have to tell you he's bad news." Kouga said rubbing the back of her head.

"Who ever said I had him, he doesn't even like me any more than any other girl he has been with...I mean what scares me most is I don't know where he's been who he has been with." Kagome shook her head before continuing, " I am just afraid that if I let myself like him then he will just end up thinking me as special as all the other girls he has been with." Kagome was still drunk it was obvious her emotions were running rampant and she was releasing them.

"Kagome why do you even feel like you should worry, what I am saying is why even let yourself think of liking him...you need someone who knows you and who can always be there for you. Someone who will treat you more than just a one night stand." Kouga drew Kagome into a hug.

"Kouga...please don't do this..." Kagome pulled away and looked at the ground.

"Kagome you know I love you! I only want you and I've known you since we were in middle school! But you've known this guy a what total of a week and you like him better than me! Kagome, when you realize how much of an idiot that guy is I'm going to hate saying I told you so...and I don't know if I want to be around then." Kouga's stare drifted over to the window.

"I don't need this coming from you! Or from him! Or anyone else!" Kagome yelled and grabbed her keys.

____________________________________________

I heard Kagome yell and rose from the couch. She ran quickly out the back and looked more upset than when she had spoken to me. I knew that right now would be a bad time to go after her so I did the next best thing I went and grabbed Sango. Unfortunately I hadn't realized that Sango and Miroku had passed out without any clothes on. So as soon as I stepped in there and saw them both exposed I shielded my eyes and went back out the door.

"Sango!" I yelled through the door trying desperately to get the image out of my mind.
Sango stirred a little and when she woke up she let out a giant scream and threw on her shirt and ran out the door.

"Inuyasha! How could you let this happen! I was in there with...Miroku!" She screamed so loud that my ears felt like they would bleed.

"Look Sango you can get upset over that in a second first you have to go get Kagome!" I yelled. I need Kagome to come back, she shouldn't drive when she is like this.

"Kagome left! What happened!" Sango became even more enraged.

"There is no time she grabbed her car keys!" Sango's eyes widened and she ran down the stairs to find Kagome.

I ran over to Kouga and threw him up against the wall. Furry ran over me and I slammed his head back into the wall. Kouga's fangs then poked out from his gums and he reached out for my throat.

"What did you do to Kagome you son of a bitch!" I yelled.

"It's all your fault! Everything was great before you came along!" Kouga spit at me.

"Fuck you!" I punched him in the mouth. That was it Kouga retaliated and it was all out war from there. Kouga punched me in the stomach and I punched him back in the eye. By this point both of us had let down our guard and our demon characteristics came out. It was ears, claws, fangs, and his black tail. My eyes glowed red and I ran back at him.

Skunk, Hojo, and Miroku came in and tried to keep us apart from each other not processing the new attributes that Kouga and I had. Skunk Tried to take down Kouga while Miroku tried to hold me back and Hojo was the one stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace.

"I'll kill you, you stupid Hanyou!" Kouga roared. That bastard! I’m more demon than he’ll ever be! I am going to curb stomp his fucking head!

“Shut the fuck up! What did you do to Kagome! If you laid one finger on her!” I struggled to break from the grip of Miroku.
“ME! I would never hurt her! You are the scum here! You who goes around town from town crashing on girls sofa’s and breaking hearts!” Kouga lashed out.

Kagome staggered back into the room supported by Sango while I Kouga and I had managed to escape our grasps and lunged back at each other. Accidentally taking down Hojo with us.

“Guys stop this!” Kagome yelled, but that wasn’t enough to make us stop.

Sango stepped in and helped Miroku pull Kouga off of me and when I looked up I saw Kagome with hurt in her eyes. She went into the living room and picked up the phone that was in there. Kouga and I by that point had been recaptured.

Kagome hung up and came back out and sat in one of the chairs that had been pushed to the side. Sango went by her. Then everyone’s gaze widened as Kouga and I picked ourselves off the ground.

“What the hell!” Sango yelled. Kouga and I both looked at each other and let out an ‘oh shit’.

“They are demons Sango.” Kagome said and lowered her head.

“Demons! How?” Miroku gasped.

“They exist I’m a wolf demon...I didn’t tell you guys because if word got out about me I would be sent to a certain kind of prison...basically the government thinks all demons are a threat to the human race and should be put away hidden from the rest of the world like we are lepers.”

“Well high and mighty Kouga not telling anyone about yourself...anyway that is essentially the jest of it. But I’m a half demon...but don’t get me wrong I’m still twice the demon that that sad bunch of there is.” I snorted and then regained composure when I saw Kagome wasn’t even looking at anyone.

“Kouga...why didn’t you tell me?” Kagome finally said looking at him with tears in her eyes.

“I thought you wouldn’t think me the same.” Kouga replied.

“I’ve never lied to you and you lie about that....you who wants to be with me who said he never lied to me.” Kagome got up again, “I’m going home my parents are on their way to pick me up.”

“But Kagome what about your dads car and your drunk!” Sango cried.

“They know...that is why both parents are coming so one of them can pick up the other car. Don’t worry Miroku my parents still love you they think that I snuck behind the bar and did it all by myself. Sango you can stay if you want.” Kagome headed back to the stars.

“Hell no I’m not staying here! I’m done with these pigs let’s go Kagome!” Sango went over to her friend and guided her out the door.

Kouga grunted and went back to his room. Skunk and Miroku patted me on the back and left for their rooms too. Hojo sat next to me and let out a nervous smile.

“Don’t worry about Kagome.” Hoagie said.

“Dude...what can I do she hates me.” I sighed. Looks like there was just no such thing a non psychotic girl.

“Kagome is one of those people who provokes people and waits to see their reaction. As long as you stay she will come around.”

“Thanks Hoagie, but why are you telling me this I mean don’t you like her?”

“Once upon a time, but then I figured out that what she wants in a guy is just something that I can’t give. I see the way she looks at you and the same as you do her. I think it will be fine.” Hoagie let out another big smile before joining the others in sleep.

So there is still a chance with Kagome. I smiled to myself. I will get that stubborn girl! She is still the most amazing girl I’ve ever met even though she has some quirks. This is completely unlike myself I am never the kind of guy who obsesses over any girl. I was disrupted from my thoughts as a scream broke out and echoed outside. My mind just ran over to Kagome and apparently I wasn’t the only one that put two and two together.

Kagome! I’m coming! I ran for the door and my heart pounded I could smell the fear and sadness coming off of her sweet scent. Something was very wrong.
