The Kick in the Game Plan
{{{KPOV}}}
That tramp Kikyo is really starting to get on my nerves. I can't believe that she would waltz up here with my man and act like nothing is going on between us. Oh she is definitely going to pay. And InuYasha, who does he think he is?? I can't believe he would just hang off her every move like that. Does he really hate me that much?
No I decided that I would put an end to this. We will be rolling around between the sheets if I have anything to do with this. I refuse to give in and let that trollop win. I will get my man and he will be behaved. Like I said, desperate times call for desperate measures.
I walked out to the front of the house over to my car. What's the best way to win your man back? Make him jealous of course. Let him know just what you have to offer and how many other men want it. That way when he comes crawling back to you, you can show him just how much of a woman you really are and how much he needs you, not the other way around.
When I got to my car, I opened the trunk looking for something specific.
`Now where did I put it? Ah ha! Here it is.' And I pulled out a nice, sharp box cutter. Yes this will do perfectly. I stabbed my right rear tire and proceeded to catch me a catch and make InuYasha suffer. Now all I had to do was wait and see who would show up.
I waited maybe five minutes when I heard the sound of a car approaching.
`Alright girl, time to do your thing.'
“You need any help?” The man in the vehicle said.
I took one good look at him and changed my mind. He was fugly!! His eyes were really small and his hair was a mess on top of his head. Not to mention his car was just as ugly as he was. There was no way in all seven hells that this “man” would make my Yash jealous.
“Iie, everything is fine, arigato.” I said, trying to sound as polite as possible.
“Are you sure?” He asked.
“Hai, everything is fine. Have a nice day.” I stated.
“Okay, whatever”
After he left I let out a long, hard shudder, and not the good kind either. This man gave me the creeps. No, if I brought him to the party, I would be the pity of the party and not the envy.
I waited for the next guy to show up. Man Yash better appreciate what I'm doing for him. He really is a good guy, but he just needs to be taught a lesson, and this is the best way to learn.
I waited for another five minutes or so and I heard the sound of a nice Italian import. I assumed the position and pretended like I needed help.
“Hi! Need some help?” The man in the car said.
Well, at least this one is cute, but hardly a man at all. He had to be at the very most 17 or 18. 19 years old is seriously pushing it. I couldn't be accused of robbing the cradle now could I? There was no way I could bring this boy to the party. Yash would laugh in my face and say he didn't know I had another little brother. No freaking way. Too bad, because if he were a little older, he would do some serious damage to InuYasha's pride.
“Ano…my boyfriend should be coming out any minute now. Arigato.”
“You sure you don't need anything?” Kami-sama!! What is it with the male species and pushing things too far? If I said I don't need any help, then I don't need any, dammit.
“Hai, my boyfriend gets really jealous and I would hate for anything to happen to you. Arigato again.” I was really starting to get agitated. I really need a nice day in the spa…or a night in with my soon to be my man again, InuYasha.
“Okay, your loss!” he said and sped off.
My loss…okay, whatever. It really was a shame that he was so young, because he was very cute. But like I said earlier, this man has to make Yash beg for me…make him realize just what he's missing.
`Dammit, when is this guy going to show up? I swear if I can't find anyone I'll just march right up to that…that poor excuse for a woman and…'
I didn't get to finish that thought as I saw the champagne colored Lexus SC 430…wow, what a hot car, hopefully the man inside matches the car. I quickly assumed the damsel in distress position and waited.
“Is everything alright, miss?” He asked genuinely concerned.
I stood up and held in my urge to scream `yes' to the heavens. He was perfect. He was classy, cute, seemed rich enough, and he was sure to set InuYasha's teeth on edge.
“Iie, ano…I seem to have a flat tire. Do you think you can help?” I said as sweetly and ditsy as possible.
“Hai, that's easy. Do you have a spare?” He asked, gently.
“A spare? Oh is that the little old thing in the back?” I hated showing that I knew nothing, but that's what happens when you live in a man's world…or so they think.
He nodded.
“Oh, yeah, I have one of those.”
He parked his car and set out to change my tire. While he was showing me how to do it, which by the way I already knew how to, he introduced himself.
(A/n: In the anime/manga, Hojo isn't actually given a first name…so I'm just going to make one up.)
“I'm Hojo Ryomaru, most everyone calls me Hojo. And you are?”
“Higurashi Kagome. Hojo; why does that name sound familiar?” I said the last line more to myself.
“You're Higurashi Kagome? As in Higurashi Corporations? Perhaps you know my cousin, Hojo Akitoki? He Owns a Park near here but recently he was the security guard for your company…something about a cute boss…I see what he means.”
“Hojo Akitoki is your cousin? What a small world.”
“Hai, but aren't you involved with Takahashi InuYasha? Why isn't he here to help you?”
“Ano… we kind of broke up… you know, there's a party in there and I was feeling a little down because I didn't have a date, but how would you like to escort me?” I blurted out.
“Hai, I would like that very much.” He said sweetly.
“Wonderful! Let's go!”
We walked back to the house eager to get back to the party scene. When I came inside I couldn't find Sango, Rin, or Ayame for the life of me…I guess it's better this way. Then I wouldn't have to explain why I was there with another guy just like InuYasha is there with Kikyo.
“Would you like to dance?” I heard Hojo say, breaking through my thoughts.
“Hai, I'd love to” I figured Sango was with Miroku, probably making out in one of the small rooms. Ayame and Rin were probably somewhere, my guess would be the bar cracking jokes with the bar tender…they like to do crazy stuff like that.
We danced to a couple of songs. To my surprise, Hojo had quite the moves. He really was a great dancer.
After a couple more dances, I began to get a little tired and a LOT thirsty.
“Hojo-kun, would you like to go outside for a bit? We could have some drinks and get to know each other. It's beginning to get a bit stuffy in here.” I needed to get on this as quick as possible. I felt really bad about using Hojo-kun. He was such a nice guy, and cute as I don't know what. But he just didn't seem to have that special thing.
We went outside and got a couple of drinks. We found a nice quiet corner and started chatting. He's quite the talker; most of what he talks about is irrelevant, he's kind of dense, but it's okay…a small price to pay for the big reward in the end.
{{{APOV}}}
InuYasha and Kikyo made their way outside. Kikyo said that the backyard was what made the entire house so InuYasha just went along with her. A few minutes later, Miroku came up to InuYasha with important news.
“Hey man, I think you might want to see this.”
“What, what's going on, you sound winded, Miroku”?
“Less talk, more walk, you really need to see this.”
“Okay, whatever, where's Sango?”
“She went to the bathroom, come, no time to waste.”
Miroku led InuYasha over near where Kagome and Hojo were sitting.
“You might wanna look over there, man. Sorry it's not quite the sight to see.”
“What do you mean it's not a sight to…. HOLY HELL!!! What the hell is Kagome doing with that, that, punk?”
“I don't know man, but she's been there for a while.”
InuYasha took a calming breath.
“It's okay, she's only talking to him; what harm can come from talking?”
“Man, do you know nothing! Talking in a quiet corner is not like dancing. With dancing it's not personal, you don't get to know the person. But she's been talking to this cat for this long, it looks like to me someone's looking to tap that.”
“Fuck you man! It just looks like I'll have to turn up the heat with Kikyo.” And with that, InuYasha set out to find Kikyo while Miroku went back to being with Sango.
“Oi, Kikyo! Let's dance”
“Sure, I'd love to.” She yelled as she made her way over to him.
{{{KPOV}}}
I looked up from my conversation with Hojo and wouldn't you know that I see InuYasha and that slut Kikyo getting it on at the dance floor. Have they no shame? I eyed them, anger boiling up inside of me. Just looking at her pressing herself to my man and him just taking it all in and placing his hands where they shouldn't be made me want to go up and slap Kikyo bald.
Al the while, Hojo kept talking. He never even realized that I wasn't paying attention to him. When I finally snapped out of my daze and realized why I was with Hojo, I gave him my full attention. No matter what type of show your man may be putting out there, your job is to be focused on your diversion, because despite what your man is doing, he's still looking at you, so just keep doing your thang because it will all pay off in the end.
It started getting dark so I interrupted Hojo and asked if he wanted to go back inside.
“Hai, it is getting rather dark.”
“Actually, I'm a little tired; I think I would like to go home.” I whispered in his ear. InuYasha was glaring daggers at Hojo.
“Okay, I'll follow you to make sure you get there safely.” He whispered back and led me back into the house. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that InuYasha excused himself from Kikyo and also came into the house.
Hojo and I walked over to the closet to get our coats, when InuYasha “accidentally' bumped into me.
“Sorry about that miss, I didn't…. oh hi Kagome. Imagine seeing you here? Who's your friend?” InuYasha said overacting as usual.
“InuYasha, hi. This is…”
“Hojo Ryomaru, nice meeting you in person Takahashi-san.”
“Oh no, the pleasure is mine. What did you say your name was? Homo? Well, may I speak with Kagome for a moment? It shouldn't take long.”
“Oh, hai. And my name's Hojo.”
“Arigato, Hobo”
InuYasha grabbed me by my elbow and led me to the next room.
“InuYasha, what are you doing? Let go of me!!”
“What the hell are you doing with that bastard?”
“What is it to you? He just happens to be a relative of a co-worker. He came over and now we want to leave.”
“Relative of a co-worker? He better not be related to that damned Kouga.”
“As if it's any of your business, no he isn't, Kami-sama InuYasha, I'm tired of playing games.”
“Tired of playing games? You play more games than the fucking NBA!”
`Ohhh, he's mad at me. Well like I said it's a small price to pay for the reward in the end, sometimes the hotter the argument, the hotter the make-up sex! Now it's time for the coup de grace or the nice way of saying “Fuck him up!”'
“You know what, InuYasha, I'm tired, and I want to leave so if you will excuse me, I'll be going.”
“You aren't going anywhere.” He grabbed my elbow again and froze.
He bent down to pick up whatever it was that fell and there was an expression on his face that I've never seen in all my years of knowing him.
“Kagome, what are…. how could you…” He couldn't even get the words out as he held the tiny foil package in his hand. “No you can't go with him, I won't allow it”
“InuYasha, you and I aren't together anymore. And to add insult to injury, you came with Kikyo. Now I want to leave.” So I left.
“Kagome, if you leave with him, then I'm going home with Kikyo.”
“InuYasha, you are a grown man, you can do whatever you want.” And with that I left.
Now if you leave with the other man and your man happens to see one of two things may happen: He very well may go home with Kikyo and he might even sleep with her, but if he's a good man, he'll be at your house even before you get there.
{{{APOV}}}
Miroku who happened to see the entire thing came up to InuYasha to offer some kind of comfort.
“It's over Miroku, she left with him, and I know she's gonna sleep with him. My life is over.”
“Aww, come on man, we both know Kagome better than that. She's probably just bluffing. How long did it take you to hit that?”
“We started after the first month.”
“That's different, first of all, this is the first date, now Kikyo might, but Kagome won't. Second off, you two are meant to be together. Everything is fine, but know that you have a decision to make: you can go for the cheap fun and let love slip away, or you can go after your true love, despite what she didn't even say she was going to do. The choice is up to you.
