H ear Breaker Higurashi
Chapter Four
~*~
Two days rest had been refreshing for Inuyasha, with the exception of the arguments that he had had, thanks to Kagome...
There it was again. Her name. It had been engraved in his brain ever since he had met her and it was driving him crazy.
Kagome...
Higurashi. ..
Kagome Higurashi...
He shook his head with that thought. He had to admit that it was strange the way she invaded his head all that time; it wasn't as if he cared for her or anything. He was curious and his curiosity had led him to believe he found the reason to her strange yet intriguing personality.
He tried not to think about the obvious: If he had no class to distract him, he just knew she would be in his head again.
No. He had to get to class.
He quickly changed from his sleep clothes to his street clothes and stepped outside of the dormitory that he and Miroku shared. Not wanting to be late for his next class, but forgetting that his clock was at least ten minutes advanced, he rushed towards the building in which his first class of the day was held. The halls were almost empty, but he didn't realize that it was because of the fact that he was early.
He rushed towards the second classroom to the end of the hall when he suddenly bumped into a somewhat frail figure. After catching his balance, he grabbed hold of the victim of his clumsiness just before they hit the floor. When the two had straightened themselves out, he looked at her, getting ready to apologize, until he realized just who this person was.
"Kikyo...?" he spoke slowly, as his breath was caught in his throat.
Just ahead of him, a beautiful young woman stood, with a slightly surprised look on her pale, flawless face. Her sunglasses covered her dark eyes. "Inuyasha," she gasped lightly.
"Kikyo! I can't believe-" the excited silver-maned man began, but he was quickly silenced by the young woman.
"Please. Don't speak so loud. He'll hear you!" she reprimanded him almost silently.
His golden eyes held confusion in them. "Who?" When she glanced nervously at the empty hallway, he realized just who she was talking about. "Onigumo." It was more of a statement rather than a question, and by the look in her eyes, he knew he struck gold.
"He's in class right now, I just stepped outside to have a drink of water from the fountain," she explained.
"Kikyo..."
The look in his eyes frightened her. It held the want of commitment, anger, betrayal, and something else that she couldn't put her finger on. She didn't really want commitment. She was afraid of it, and so she had stayed with Onigumo, knowing that he wouldn't truly love her. It was just what she wanted. She understood that he was angry and he felt betrayed because he had found out that she had been seeing someone else behind his back. The last look that crossed his eyes confused her though. She had always been able to read him like a childrens' book.
"Take those glasses off Kikyo..." he growled silently. He had a horrible feeling down in the pit of his stomach that something had happened to her... and that her current lover had something to do with it.
"No Inuyasha-" but before she could continue, he had gently pulled the dark lensed glasses off.
"Shit... Kikyo, what the hell did he do to you?" His eyes scanned her supposed flawless face. There was a huge dark rim around her left eye and just below it was a deep, but healing cut.
She turned away from him. Sure she had said that she didn't want commitment, but right after she had broken up with Inuyasha, Onigumo had started to beat her - yelling at her, telling her that she was a good-for-nothing whore, and that if she ever cheated on him again, he would kill her. After that, all she wanted was commitment from Inuyasha. "It's nothing... I tripped on something and fell down some steps," she lied.
"I don't believe you! Dammit Kikyo! I understand that you didn't want commitment, but this isn't the way to do it! If that bastard's hurting you, why didn't you tell me? You know that I still love you, and I told you before that I would take care of you... Why didn't you come to me?" hurt was actually lacing through his voice, and that rarely happened.
She stood there stunned for a second before replying. "I... I didn't want to Inuyasha..."
His anger flared up after hearing this. "Why?! Why didn't you dammit? If all you wanted was his fucking body then dammit Kikyo-" he practically yelled.
Kikyo's frightened look stopped him though, and she began to speak. "I knew you weren't like that Inuyasha. When we were together I told you how much I wanted you, but you told me that you loved me and you didn't want anything bad to happen to me..."
"... So you went back to Onigumo..." he finished for her, in realization.
She lowered her head, silently answering him.
Inuyasha's head snapped up when he saw a slight movement near a classroom doorway - Onigumo.
Kikyo's eyes followed his glare and instant worry invaded her facial features. "I'm sorry Inuyasha. It was good to see you again, but I have to go..." she said, turning her back on him and walking away towards her obviously fuming boyfriend.
The golden-eyed young man stood there for a second more before turning away towards his class which had just begun.
~*~
After class, he had not been in such a great mood, and stormed out of the hall, not paying heed to anyone's complaints after he had rudely pushed passed them.
Just before he got into his beaten, rusty, 1990 Toyota, someone not-too-gently, turned him around to face them. "Excuse me you moronic narcissist. I didn't appreciate the pushing and shoving very much mister and-" just before the person finished, realization dawned on her. "Inuyasha."
When there was silence for a couple seconds, he thought that after Kagome realized that it was him, she would stop yelling, but instead...
"You inconsiderate bastard!" she yelled. "I knew you were a jerk, but I didn't realize that you would take your anger out on others!"
Inuyasha slightly winced. He didn't mean to.. Now the girl was making him sound like some murderer. He wouldn't stand this... Besides, she was being pretty inconsiderate herself, just coming up to him and rudely turning him around. He was in a bad mood dammit, and her presence just wasn't making it any better. "How the hell would you know if I was mad?" he countered. "Why couldn't you just fucking leave it alone? Dammit, you stupid little wench, you've pissed me off for the last time! Why don't you leave and just fuck around with someone elses' feelings?"
Kagome was fuming now. No one - no one had ever disrespected her before, and she wasn't about to let him continue. "You arrogant... Frog!" she suddenly spat out. She was out of name calls.
If Inuyasha wasn't so mad he might have just laughed, but he was ticked off. He simply turnes his back on her, opened his rusty car door, climbed in, and drove away.
Kagome stood there slightly confused but still raging. In the evening, the punching bag hanging in the students' gym would have to beware.
'Wait Kagome...' Kitsuke said. 'Did he just accuse you of playing around with peoples' feelings?'
~*~
For the rest of the day, he just sulked. There was nothing much to do, and besides the fact that he didn't have class the next day or Friday didn't help at all.
Friday. He just remembered. He had asked Kagome to go with him to the club that he and his friends went to every Friday.
He inwardly groaned at this. He really did want to get to know her better. He also wanted to show her that not all men were evil, and how did that go? Completely horrible. She wasn't supposed to know that he had found out about that stupid little plan of hers.
How was he ever going to get her to forgive him?
There it was again...
Kagome. Kagome. Kagome.
~*~
It was an uneventful Friday night and Kagome was just about to undo her bed and step in. She wasn't usually the type to sleep early but for the past two days, her life had been dull. There was no Inuyasha to argue with, and somehow, that slightly disappointed her. She had planned on breaking his heart, but after their confrontation, the two never spoke one word to each other, and acted like a bunch of high schoolers, trying to avoid each other as much as possible.
She hated the fact that for the first time, her potential victim would not feel her wrath. She hated all her 'first time' everythings that have happened ever since she met that man.
She realized that she hadn't said 'good night' to her roommates, and new friends, so just before she stepped into her bed, she took a peek outside and found them all huddle together at the door, looking at something, or someone from the peep hole.
"Hey, what's up?" she suddenly asked, causing the three girls to jump. "I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?"
Ayame walked over to Kagome and put her arm around her friend's shoulders. "No, not really Kagome. We were just looking at something people would call a 'fine specimen'." With this said, she giggled and pulled Kagome towards the peep hole. "Look at that..." she said.
Kagome looked through with one eye and noticed one person walking around the hallway. A familiar person walking around the hallway in fact... She suddenly pulled away from the door and threw it open, ignoring the 'No!' or 'Don't's from her friends.
"What are doing here?" she growled angrily.
A young, silver maned man turned around to face Kagome and her three friends. "Hey... I was just..."
"Inuyasha, if you haven't noticed, this is the Girls' Dormitory building," she spat out.
Her friends look at her shocked but at the same time, fascinated. "Kagome, how can you just say that to hi-" Yuka began.
"I just wanted to ask you something," he said truthfully.
Kagome stared at him for a second before he added.
"Aren't you going to invite me inside?"
This inflamed Kagome's anger once more, but she pushed it down. How many chances was this guy giving her again? Too much... That was all she knew. She stepped aside and let him in, closing the door behind her.
Without waiting for her to speak, he began. "Look, remember on Monday, after I gave you a tour around the school?" he asked. Kagome's friends cooed at this. Their new friend actually knew the silver haired god that they always admired from afar? What could be better than this?
"Yeah?" Kagome snorted. No. She had to stop acting so rude!
He ignored this and continued. "Well, do you remember me asking you to go with me to a club on Friday?"
She nodded.
"Well? It's Friday. Do you still want to go with me?"
"I have to go to sleep. In fact, I was just saying good night to my friends-" Her deep stormy eyes followed the movement behind Inuyasha. Her three friends were shaking their heads at her, urging for her to go.
"I acted like a jerk and I know that. I took my anger out on the other people and they didn't deserve it. I really didn't mean to yell at you like that." 'There you go... See Kagome? Not all men are the evil bastards you think they are...' he thought.
The room became quiet. 'Well aren't you going to say anything Kagome?' Miyou asked. 'He just apologized to you.'
Kitsuke thought differently though. 'Well he didn't even say 'sorry'. What kind of an apology is that?'
"Is that all?" Kagome finally said.
Inuyasha looked over at her, confused. "What do you mean?" his anger was slowly rising.
"I mean, you come in here, you say those things, but you can't even say sorry?" she said, slightly raising her voice.
The anger volume in him rose rapidly and he bursted out. "What the hell do you want me to say dammit? You want me to apologize then kiss your feet and grovel for forgiveness?"
"This is the last time-" she was advancing towards him. Before she could reach him though, her friends had pulled her back.
"Kagome! Calm down! Please! He apologized to you already, please leave it at that!"
She calmed herself down for the sake of her friends.
"Look, I don't want another argument with you okay? I just asked if you wanted to go with me to the club. I acted like an ass, and if you want to hear it - I'm sorry okay?"
Kagome crossed her arms stubbornly. "I need to go to sleep," she stated before she started to walk towards her room. Her friends wouldn't take her hard headedness though, and stopped her.
"She would love to go with you Inuyasha," Eri said, before dragging Kagome into the bedroom. She opened up Kagome's closet and picked out a dress that would be perfect for clubbing. "Wear this,," she said, shoving the dress in her friends hands. "Dress up. You're going to this club, and you're going to have fun whether you like it or not, understand?" Kagome nodded frantically, suddenly afraid of her friend. "You're going to be nice and you're going to dance."
"What if--" Kagome began, timidly while Eri grabbed a pair of shoes from her closet.
Eri cut her off. "No 'what if's'! You said so yourself that Inuyasha reminded you of Bankotsu and if the rumors that he was very committed to his ex-girlfriend is true, then this guy is made for you." After she said this, she walked outside leaving a stunned Kagome to change.
~*~
Outside in the living room area, Yuka, Eri and Ayumi sat on one side of the room, while Inuyasha sat on a lone chair, on the other side. He leaned over to the three, starry-eyed girls. "Are you close to Kagome?" he asked. It looked like he still wasn't finished questioning people.
"Just at the beginning of this week, yes," Ayumi answered.
"Do you know anything about her past?" he then questioned.
Eri looked uncertain about telling him, but she really did want her friend to be happy. If after a heated argument, Inuyasha came here to apologize, then he was a good man for her friend. Not many men would have the guts to do what he just did. Slowly, she let out a 'yes', before her two other friends sent glares her way.
"We're not supposed to her anyone Eri!" Yuka whispered quietly.
"I know, but... I just have this weird feeling that it's all going to be okay. Trust me on this," her friend replied. She then turned back to face Inuyasha, and began retelling the story which she had just heard a few days earlier. "Look... Kagome used to know this man named Bankotsu..."
~*~
Kagome had never been so infuriated in all her life. This man enraged her and she was not particularly happy with that. She didn't understand how he could keep handing her chance after chance though. It was annoying but she was happy for it. After all the arguments, the guy deserved the heart break, and that was exactly what she was going to give him.
She changed into the clothes that Eri had given to her, quickly before walking outside. It looked as if all four people in the living room were into some deep conversation. They immediately stopped once she entered the room though, which slightly made her uneasy. What were they talking about? What did they have to talk so importantly about anyway? It wasn't as if they even knew him.
"I'm ready to go," she announced, deciding to shrug it off until later that night... or earlier the next day since people who usually went to clubs came out at around one in the morning.
Inuyasha stood up and followed her outside. "Thanks," he mumbled gratefully to Kagome's three friends, before his 'date' waved goodbye to them.
"We're taking my car," she said, and swiftly walked passed him towards the garage where her new, black Mercedes awaited her.
Inuyasha silently mimicked her before she turned around and gave him a strange glare.
"Don't do that."
"I wasn't doing anything your highness..."
~*~
Once they were at the club, Inuyasha lead Kagome towards a table with five people already sitting and drinking. Only two faces there were familiar to Kagome.
"Hey," Inuyasha greeted to his friends, before leading Kagome to a chair, and sitting down himself.
"Inuyasha aren't you going to introduce us?" a small boy, with a cracked, adolescent voice said. His looks were pretty shocking considering the red hair atop his head and the striking green eyes.
"Keh." He did so anyways. It turned out that that small green-eyed boy was named Shippo. He was about fifteen years old, but carried a fake ID with him that claimed he was ten years older than he truly was. Miroku and Sango were there - the only familiar faces that Kagome knew, and the last two were Sesshomaru who was Inuyasha' half brother and his girlfriend, Rin.
"Pleased to meet you," Kagome said politely, nodding her head at everyone there. A fast paced song came up and her face suddenly brightened. "Inuyasha, let's dance," she said, standing up.
Her date didn't seem to want to move from his seat.
"Inuyasha. Entertain your guest," Sesshoumaru ordered, his voice deep and commanding, yet calm.
"Feh." He crossed his arms.
"Fine then. Be a jerk," she said, and ventured off on her own to the dance floor, where she began to move seductively with the beat. It didn't take long for men to start noticing her. One young man had enough courage to come up to her and dance, and she didn't seem like she minded, it was after all a club, and people just danced in clubs.
~*~
"I'm going to get a drink," Inuyasha said a couple minutes later. No one was truly taking heed to him, so he stood up and stalked off. Just as he reached the counter, a completely drunk, plastically-altered, enormously breasted woman, with a skin tight red dress fell on him. She giggled and hiccupped a bit before barely straightening herself up.
"Hi. My namessss Shhiiizzzzuu...ka!" After she introduced herself, she squealed. "Would ya like ta daaannce?"
He looked slightly disturbed. This woman was too drunk for her own good. He sat her on a chair at the bar. "Sit here and wait."
Then he never came back for her.
Maybe he wasn't thirsty. There were just too many drunk men and women at the bar and he wasn't ready to confront them. He decided to just look for Kagome and possibly dance with her. It would be better than sitting with his friends. They weren't much fun after they discovered that they each had feelings for each other... with the exception of Shippou. It was just a shame that Only Rin and Sesshomaru had enough courage to tell each other how they felt.
~*~
After the song had ended, Kagome thanked the young man before attempting to walk back to the table.
"Where do you think you're going?" the man said.
Kagome turned around to stare disbelievingly at the man. Who the hell did he think he was? "I'm going back to my table sir," she said before turning back around again.
The man grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him roughly, before she could take another step. "You've got to finish what you've started bitch..." he taunted.
"Started...?" What did he mean by that?
He pulled her closer to his body, and right there at the juncture of his legs, Kagome understood what he meant. Her seductive dancing had caused his arousal. "By the way, the name's Naraku. I'd like to hear you scream it once we-"
She looked disgusted now. What did he take her for? A slut? Okay, so she was dancing a little bit provocatively but it was a club and other women danced just the same way. That didn't mean that they would sleep with their dancing partners. "Let go of me!" she hissed.
"Bitch, listen to me, even if I have to force you, I'm going to take you." He pulled away from her, all the while grabbing her wrist. "Come on," he growled.
"Let go of me!" she yelled even louder. Unfortunately only he could hear her. Another song was being played by the DJ and her voice was being drowned out. She couldn't kick the guy either. Their bodies were tightly packed along with other's bodies which restricted her from throwing a good punch or kicking him in the groin.
"You'll be mine for tonight bitch, so shut up-" Before he could continue though, he instantly let go of the struggling woman's wrist to try and release the hand that was suffocating him.
"She's with me. Besides. Are you fucking deaf? She said that she didn't want to be with you. You let go of a woman once she tells you to. Especially my date, unless you want something of it."
Kagome looked over at the savior. Inuyasha was standing there just in front of her with one hand wrapped carefully around the man so called 'Naraku's' neck.
Before her supposed date could do any thing more, the security of the club - two huge men which seemed to just pop out of no where - came, dragging Naraku away towards the entrance of the club where they had to 'take care of business'.
It didn't seem as if anyone else around them noticed the scene that was just played out.
Kagome looked down at the ground. Now it was her turn to apologize. She was the one who had been acting like such a jerk since he came to her dorm. Then she went and called him a jerk yet he still saved her. "Thank you," was all she managed to say.
This seemed to make Inuyasha satisfied anyway. "No problem. Come on, let's go back to the table," he said, taking her hand and leading her to his friends' table.
Once they reached their destination, the two sat down. Kagome looked at the others sitting down and noticed that they just seemed to be talking amongst themselves in pairs. She wanted to have fun and it didn't seem as if the pairs were going to cease their discussions anytime soon. A slow jam was now being played and she felt as if a bit of slow dancing would calm her after that little ordeal with Naraku. "Does anyone want to dance?" she asked.
Everyone looked up from what they were doing. "That sounds wonderful..." Rin replied softly before slightly gazing at Sesshomaru. He didn't reply with words, but instead stood up and took her hand before leading her to the dance floor.
"Sango?" Miroku asked, looking over at his 'conversation partner'.
"Over my dead body," she simply answered.
The lecher's face faultered. "Why not? Please?"
"No."
He sighed. "I promise not to touch you."
Finally she looked up at him. "If you do, I promise you that you will not be walking or sitting up, for a whole week..." she warned.
Miroku placed his hand up in the air in resignation. "I promise." With this, the two walked towards the dance floor. Miroku smiled like an idiot. He was happy he finally succeeded in dancing with his Sango.
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. "Inuya-" she began.
"I'll dance with you Kagome since that jerk obviously doesn't want to," the small teenage boy replied, with his broken voice.
Kagome smiled genuinely at him in admiration. He was so cute! No... No... He was still a testosterone-filled guy.
"Keh. Who said I didn't want to dance with her?" Inuyasha suddenly stood up, grabbing Kagome's hand. "When I come back, you'd better have beat it kid unless you'd like to be hung outside of the flag pole at your school..." he threatened.
Kagome saw Shippou swallow hard before he scurried away.
"Come on, let's go," he said, gently pulling her towards the dance floor.
"Why did you suddenly agree Inuyasha?" she taunted.
He shrugged but did not answer her. "Just don't ask questions," he said, pulling her towards him. He placed one hand on the small of her back and the other on her shoulder.
She just nodded and unknowingly sunk into him.
The song had a slow beat to it, but somehow it still sounded sensual. Kagome's body moved with the rhythm, crushing against his body. He couldn't help but illicit a small moan. He was just lucky that the music was loud enough for her not to hear that. He pulled away from her slightly. His body movements didn't flow like hers. He was too stiff to do anything. If he moved he might just wake up some desire that was beginning to stir inside of him.
"Inuyasha?" she asked, looking up into his eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah yeah..." he forced himself to answer.
"Do you not know how to dance?" she asked him.
"Keh, of course I know how to."
She smiled at this. "You're moving like a robot. Here," she said, placing both hand on either side of his hips. "Just move with me here... Like this..."
It didn't seem as if she noticed his slight arousal. Even if she did, she wasn't pointing it out. She wasn't even reacting to it. "Kagome..." he tried. "Stop..."
She laughed at this and took her hands away from his hips. Unknowingly, he was a little disappointed. She then just wrapped her arms around his neck and they settled to dancing like that.
~*~
Shippou didn't want to face the wrath of Inuyasha, so he hurriedly dashed of towards the bar to get another drink of soda. Although he went to clubs, he had never tried alcohol before, and was completely against it because of the fact that a drunk had killed his parents ten years ago.
Just as he reached the bar, the same big chested woman who draped herself over Inuyasha, toppled over towards him. This gave him an idea. "Hey. Do you wanna dance?" he asked.
~*~
As the song was nearing the end, Miroku and Sango had been pulled into 'La La Land'. Sango hadn't even realized that Miroku held her hands. He didn't realize that he made this movement either. He pulled her closer to him, yet she didn't protest.
As the last notes were played Miroku decided to become more daring.
He released one of her hands while she was still in her little daze. He placed it on her back and began to slowly move down...
Sango's eyes, which had been closed during the dance, now suddenly flashed open. "Don't even this about it."
"Eh heh..."
~*~
At one o'clock in the morning, Kagome drove Inuyasha back to the college after saying goodbye to the people whom she just met. The two got out of the car and Inuyasha offered to walk her to her room. She didn't protest at all.
Once they reached her floor, they silently walked to her door. "Thanks for asking me to go with you tonight."
He smirked at this. "You had fun didn't you?"
Kagome looked unaffected. "Of course not. I'm just thanking you for asking. That's all."
"You really had fun today, with me didn't you?" he continued.
She glared at him. "Since you're saying that, it must be the other way around."
"I didn't have fun!" he defended.
"Of course you did," she smiled before unlocking her door. Just before she stepped inside though, she stopped as if she just remembered something extremely important.
The two just stared at each other for a moment before Kagome walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and molding her body against his. Inuyasha was frozen to his spot.
"Okay, so I lied... I really had fun today Inuyasha..." she said with her face buried against his chest.
She heard him swallow hard and grinned at this. "I... I had fun too..." he finally answered.
She pulled away from him smiling widely. "See? You admitted it!" she laughed before entering her dorm.
Inuyasha didn't know what to say. What was there to say? Kikyo had never made him feel like that...
~*~
As she closed her dorm door, she noticed three pairs of eyes watching her intently.
"Sit down Kagome," Eri smiled.
"Have a cup of tea..." Ayumi suggested.
"This is going to take a while..." Yuka ended.
"W-What.. What are you talking about?" Kagome asked nervously.
Eri leaned over towards her friend. "Tell us everything that happened."
"In full detail," Yuka added with a smirk on her face.
~*~
After an hour of explaining, laughs and fun, Kagome walked to her bedroom and readied herself for sleep.
Just one though invaded her thoughts though.
'...But I'm Kagome... Kagome the heart breaker...'
