InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Leave it in the past ❯ keepn it together ( Chapter 19 )

HEY!!! I hope you liked the last chapter! Here's the next one!

 

 

When Sango got into the apartment, a smile still on her face at the fact the she'd out witted that stupid lecher, she stopped dead in her tracks, only a ghost of a smile in place.

 

Kagome sat at her mirror, staring at herself with a disgusted expression that, in Sango's opinion, was completely unwarranted. There was something else in her eyes, something that Sango had never seen in this happy girl's eyes in a long time. It was almost like the expression she has every year on the anniversary of her father's death: SARROW.

 

“Kagome,” Sango asked worriedly from the doorway. Kagome's head whipped around.

 

“I'm fine,” she said, her voice strong, her face masked with a cheery smile. This had always been Kagome's way. If something was wrong, she would convince herself that no one needed to share the burden. She would act like she was fine, put on a smile for her friends and family. But Sango could always tell, because Kagome's face wasn't always completely composed. The only thing to give her away was her eyes: they changed color slightly, from their clear blue to a tumultuous blackish color, making her look like a sad angel.

 

“I know you Kagome…Your not “FINE”,” Sango said, giving her friend a searching look before plopping down on her bed and looking at her from across the room. “What is it? You can tell me.”

 

“I…I broke up with Inuyasha this morning,” Kagome said, looking down at her lap and fidgeting with her fingers.

 

“Why?” Sango asked, drawing in a breath. She'd just heard them early this morning...together.

 

“I can't tell you that. Please believe me when I say that. It's not important,” Kagome said, her eyes tearing up slightly, but she gave a brave smile.

 

“Alright. I get it. So…You wanna do something to take your mind off it? There's this club down town and it is suppose to be really great. Let's go tonight!” Sango said cheerily, her eyes bright.

 

“I don't know, Sango. I don't think I'll feel up to it,” Kagome said.

 

“I won't take no for an answer so you better just be ready when I get home…we can take my car,” Sango said, going to her room to get ready for work.

Kagome got to her office after lunch to find a VERY distraught secretary.

 

“I am so sorry, Miss Higurashi! I told him he couldn't come in, but he did anyway and went straight to your office!” the secretary said, hoping she wouldn't be fired.

 

“Who?” Kagome asked, making her way towards her office.

 

She opened the door to her office and, sitting in her Italian leather chair with his feet propped up on cherry wood, hand crafted desk, was Inuyasha in all his sexy, gorgeous male glory, staring at her with what seemed to be his trade mark smirk.

 

“What the hell do you think you're doing in my office?” Kagome asked in a cold voice coming around the desk to kick his feet off.

 

“You haven't returned any of my phone calls and I did tell you this wasn't over,” he said in a calm, solemn tone.

 

Kagome turned to her secretary. “Yura, could you excuse me?” Kagome asked in a sweet voice as she ushered her out of her office and closed the door.

 

“First of all you cheated on me, or you were in the process, and second of all you barely even acknowledge that fact. Plus, you came over and decided to smooth it over with sex. Are you really that stupid?” Kagome said, as she set her brief case down on the floor and tried to budge him from her chair.

 

“You haven't even heard me out! I've been trying to explain to you since it happened!” Inuyasha said, getting up and glaring at her.

 

“And I haven't bothered to hear you out because there's nothing you could say to pull your dumb ass out of the fire. I saw, Inuyasha. I had to witness it! How do you think I feel? Could you stop being selfish for a minute and try to put yourself in someone else's shoes for a change?” Kagome said as she pulled her thing out of her brief case and powered up her computer, trying to hide the fact that she was close to bawling.

 

“What about me? You don't even know where I stand on this whole issue,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Listen to yourself!! You cheated on me, you idiot! I'm supposed to just forgive you?” Kagome screamed at him finally looking him in the eyes with all the pain and tears she'd been trying to hide.

 

“Kagome…” he started to say tenderly.

 

“I don't want to hear it! GET OUT!” Kagome said, shoving him towards the door with what strength he possessed, making him trip from the shock of how strong she was.

 

“I can't give up Kagome. I just…don't want to. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me,” Inuyasha said opening the door and turning back to look at her.

 

“I'm not going to forgive you and take you back. You should've thought of all this in the beginning,” Kagome said coldly, turning her back on him, letting the tears to continue to fall.

Rin struggled to shove her books into her little bitty cramped locker…which wasn't working out too well.

 

She heaved a book as hard as she could, but it wouldn't budge. A hand was placed on hers and Rin spun around. There was a boy she noticed from her first period class.

 

Her book was strategically placed in her locker and the door was shut.

 

“God, Shippo. Thank you! I thought I would never get that thing in there,” Rin said, pulling her backpack up higher on her shoulder.

 

“You could thank me better by going on a date with me,” Shippo said, leaning forward a little. Rin looked into his deep green eyes, the slight freckles on his face and the red hair the spilled over on his forehead. He was very cute. He was so much taller than most of the kids and he was thin and slightly muscled to the point where his arms bulged slightly but his broad shoulders and flat stomach indicated power.

 

“I think that's fair…When?” she asked.

 

“tonight at six,” he said, his eyes closing in on her lips.

 

“I'll be there,” she said, slipping under the arm that was braced against the locker.

 

She went out to her car and drove over to the Takahashi building, going in to the elevator with out checking with the receptionist.

 

She fixed her hair in her mirror, unbuttoned a few more buttons on the front of her shirt and pulled her skirt up to show more leg. She pulled her flats off to put on some very high-heels. She didn't think to knock, only pushed the door open and stopped dead in her tracks.

 

Sesshoumaru had a woman, clad in a braw and panties bent over his desk. His shirt was off and he was just starting on his belt. She recognized the woman to be his girlfriend. At least he was somewhat loyal.

 

“Wow. You said to meet you for the meeting at five thirty. Here it is, five fourty five. Sorry I'm late Mr. Takahashi.”

 

Sesshoumaru's head snapped up and he met her eyes quickly. “I…I didn't think you were coming today. You were late,” he said, hurrying to find his girlfriends clothes. “I'll see you later, Kagura.”

 

Said woman collected her clothes and went into the bathroom to put them on before leaving.

 

“We're gonna have to cut this meeting down to fifteen minutes. I hit some traffic at four thirty trying to get here and I have plans,” Rin said, finding it hard to look him in the eyes.

 

“Now, Rin…” he started to say.

 

“I really don't want to hear your excuses. I do have plans and, if I'm not needed, I really don't want to deal with your hard-on plus I have to be home before six to change. So, if you'll excuse me…” she said as she started to get up.

 

A pair of warm manacles fastened to her wrist and she looked up defiantly. “This meeting is important,” he said, trying to resist her wonderful scent.

 

“If it was anything like your other, so so important meeting I just witnessed, I'm really not interested,” Rin said, standing even though he still had ahold of her wrists.

 

“God would you just…” he started to say.

 

“I really don't want to hear your shit. You have strung me along and I am so…” she started to say but was cut off when he pulled her against him and kissed her wildly.

 

His hand ran all along her, making her skin flush, but she wouldn't let him do this to her. She bit his lip, pushing him away from her and trying to get to the door as fast as she could.

 

She wasn't any match for his demon powers. He was there with in a blink of an eye and she collided with him.

 

His hands again began to run along her body, his long staff pressing into the middle of her stomach. She tried to protest, but he shushed her gently.

 

“I'm not going to be your fall back shack job. Go call your girlfriend in because you're making me late,” she said maliciously.

 

He let her go in shock and she pushed past him and opened the door.

 

“Is that really what you think?” he asked.

 

She turned to him. “What do you expect? What should I be thinking?” Rin asked, not giving him time to answer before leaving quickly.

 

>>>>>

When Sango got home, it wasn't Kagome she met at the door.

 

“Rin? Where are you going looking like that?” Sango asked. The dear, innocent girl that she usually saw around the house was gone. In her place was a very sexual looking woman, looking sophisticated in a pair of skinny jeans and a small wrap v-neck sweater

 

“I have a date,” she said, flipping her flat ironed hair over her shoulder with a mock conceited look, making Sango giggle.

 

“Well, you tell him to keep his hands off,” Sango said, going into her room.

 

“I don't think I can promise that cause, well, I think I want his hands on, if you know what I mean,” Rin said with a racy grin.

 

“Whatever. Get out of here and go have fun. Kagome and I are going out,” Sango said going into her room to find something to change into.

 

She'd gone through her whole closet and had found nothing that was night club worth. She looked over at the mannequin that stood emotionless by her bed and she had suddenly found her outfit.

 

She slid the smooth shiny midnight blue silk over her head where it shimmied before conforming to her every curve. It went into a large southward dive in the front and back, the front held together by a series of silver chains and the shoulders were pleated slightly so that they hung off her shoulders. The dress stopped just about mid thigh, leaving her long legs to travel undisturbed by clothing.

 

Sango smiled at herself in the mirror before taking a curling iron to her hair and applying makeup.

 

She heard the door open and close and the jingle of keys. Her head was shoved under the bed to find her other stiletto when Kagome came into her room and giggled.

 

“You look really funny like that you know,” Kagome said, her voice tinged with fatigue and sounding about ten years older than she really was.

 

“What is it, Kags?” Sango asked, her head immediately coming out from under the bed to stop on her friend.

 

“Inuyasha came to my office. He would leave until I forced him to. He said...oh, god Sango if I could only tell you,” Kagome said, “but, they were true.” Kagome voice broke and she fought with all her might to be strong and keep away the tears that threatened. She succeeded with a great effort and what felt like loads of energy that was wasted on it.

 

“Kagome, you know you can tell me,” Sango said, standing and forgetting about her lost shoe.

 

“I can't! If you knew…You'd be so ashamed of me…plus, Inuyasha would get his ass kicked but he deserves it,” Kagome said, trying to speak through her hurt and angry sobs.

 

“Well…It's apparent that you won't tell me so let's go have fun! You and me spending our first time at a night club together! It'll be great!” Sango said, wiping the tears away and smoothing down her friends hair.

 

“I don't know if I'm up to it after the day I've had,” Kagome said, sniffling uncontrollably.

 

“Come on! If you don't do this now, I will never forgive you. And once we get you a drink, you'll feel loads better. I guarantee it,” Sango said brightly, aching for whatever was putting her friend through so much torment and pain.

 

“I…guess,” Kagome said.

 

“Do you have anything to wear?” Sango asked, going back to looking for her other shoe.

 

“Yeah. Just give me a minute…” Kagome started to say.

 

“Aha! You sneaky little bastard,” Sango said, pulling it out of what looked like her underwear drawer, a black thong hanging off the dagger-like heel.

 

Kagome could help the giggles that bust from her at the goofy look on her friends face combined with the hilarious situation.

 

“Go get ready! I want to go a.s.a.p.!” Sango yelled as she slipped her shoes on and looked at herself in the mirror.

Kagome went into her room and opened her closet. She searched through countless outfits not finding anything until she was almost to the very back of her closet. She came upon a top and jeans that made her jaw drop. She'd forgotten she'd had this skimpy outfit! She'd never worn it in her life, but tonight, it felt like the perfect time to break in the silky leather.

 

Kagome pulled on the pair of skin tight black jeans that had rips every where, making them barely jeans. She fastened the shirt on. It was a corseted leather shirt that consisted of leather straps and two pieces of leather. The two pieces of leather cover her breasts and fastened in the front starting at the bottom with black hooks that went up. The black hooks stopped at about the underneath of her breasts, where little thin straps of leather held the rest of it together. The back consisted of nothing but leather straps. The shirt only came to the point above her bellybutton, showing her flat stomach and porcelain skin.

 

`Why didn't I every wear this?' Kagome asked herself. But she remembered. It was too exotic for her, way to flashy. But now, she had the courage to wear it.

 

Kagome put on a pair of black shin high leather boots with pointed toes. She straightened her hair and put on black eye shadow.

 

When Sango walked into her room, she had just finished.

 

“Holy shit! Where did you get that?” Sango asked.

 

“I don't really remember,” Kagome said.

 

“That shirt is a one of a kind. I remember when the design was auctioned. I had followed that woman's designs for most of my teenage life! Then, she died and that was one of the new pieces of her collection that was never put in. They didn't make any more!” Sango gushed.

 

“Wow. I didn't know that,” Kagome said, trying to sound like she wasn't bored to death with Sango's obsession with fashion.

 

“Yeah her name was…” She started to babble again but Kagome cut her off.

 

“We need to get going. I'm kind of eager to get there,” Kagome said, dragging her friend out the door before she could be bored to death.
