InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hotel Takahashi ❯ How was I to know? ( Prologue )

A/N- Hello and welcome to an Inuyasha fic by yours truly.

The idea for this story came to me while I was at a Uni (AKA College if you're in the Northern Hemisphere) day and I was looking at this hotel management course. It just kinda suddenly hit me.

Reviews are always greatly appreciated, and constructive criticism is preferred rather then just straight out flames.

 

Disclaimer: Inuyasha & co. belong to the great Rumiko Takahashi and I am just borrowing them for my own enjoyment.

Prologue: How was I to know?

 

Can't believe that I'm the fool again,
I thought this love would never end

 

How was I to know?
You never told me,

 

Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend.

 

How was I to know?
You never told me.

 

WESTLIFE “Fool Again"

Kagome…

 

Love doesn't ask why. It speaks from the heart and never explains. Love doesn't think twice. It can come all at once, or whisper from a distance. You can't ask if this feeling's right or wrong, and you can never ask love to make sense.

 

I was the type of person who used to think love could last forever. But then again; I was a very naïve person when it came down to those sorts of things. I was the type of person whobelieved that when I fell in love, there would be violins in the background, roses—you know…those types of things.

 

The guy I would fall in love with would be my knight in shiny armour, my hero. He would be someone who was kind, considerate, loving; a sweep me of my feet kind of guy.

He would never hurt me, never insult me. He would always let me win the argument or be the first to apologise. He would tell me he loved me everyday…

 

And he would never break my heart.

 

But of course reality comes in, and I discovered the hard way that I was only deluding myself.

 

… I fell for the complete opposite.

Kagome left a note for Inuyasha wrapped around the handlebar of his motorcycle ten days after their graduation. It wasn't very long, in fact it was only six words;

 

You know where to find me…

 

Sliding the note into his pocket, Inuyasha got out his helmet and rode to where he knew Kagome would be. When he arrived, he found her sitting in front of the tree where this all started, her arms clasped around her knees.

 

Kagome looked up as she saw him. “I can't believe I thought you could actually change.”

 

“Look, it's not what you think.”

 

“No?” she got to her feet. “I don't and won't ever have an eight figure bank account, Inuyasha. And you know what? My family doesn't own a mansion either. If you were crossing your fingers, expecting me to turn into one of the girls who fall at your feet, then you got it all wrong.”

 

“None of that mattered to me.” Inuyasha argued.

 

“Bullshit it didn't!” Kagome's eyes narrowed. “What, did you think that it would be fun to use me? Did you want to prove to yourself that you were capable of getting anyone?”

 

She stepped up closer to him, her eyes staring fiercely into his. “Was it worth it? Did you achieve what you wanted?” In a flash she hit him, striking him across the face.

 

“Well guess what you bastard! You win. Whatever stupid, egotistical game you were playing, you fucking win!”

 

“I don't give a shit about wining anymore!” Inuyasha shouted back at her. Grabbing Kagome by the shoulders, he kissed her. He took the things he couldn't bring himself to say, and poured them into her.

 

Then, as quickly as it started, Inuyasha pulled away. Leaving Kagome standing there at the tree, walking down that hill, he didn't look back.

 

“I'm so sorry, Kagome.”

There are some things we do because we convince ourselves it would be better for everyone involved. We tell ourselves that it's the right thing to do, the altruistic thing to do.

 

It's far easier than telling ourselves the truth.
