~Chapter Fifthteen~

 

Kagome hummed softly as she walked into her office. She hoped that whatever was bothering Inuyasha wasn't too serious. She felt relaxed, complete. She went inside her office, shutting the door behind her. With practiced ease she tossed her jacket onto her leather couch, before setting her briefcase next to her desk. With a blissful sigh she flop down onto her chair. Tapping her fingers against the table. She rested her left elbow on the desk, her chin placed inside her palm. A soft smile curving her lips.

 

Today was the day. Kagome decided, sighing at the thought. 'Today we are making it right. I don't care what happened. That wasn't Inuyasha...well it was Inuyasha... but...' Kagome paused, shaking her head. 'I know it was Inuyasha...but somehow I know in my heart that couldn't have been his doing. I know he wouldn't hurt me intentionally.' Inuyasha would sooner kill himself, than hurt her.

 

A frown formed on her lips. Out of habit she tapped her lips with the tips of her fingers. 'Would he actually blame himself...? Duh!! This is Inuyasha we're talking about; of course he'll blame himself!! Even if I were able to convince him that I love him, and no he didn't mean....' Kagome gasp, nearly cutting her lip with her nails. She blinked once, then twice. 'I love Inuyasha...? But how? She couldn't possibly love him. Oh sure, she lusted after him, but love?'

 

Kagome snorted, crossing her arms. Leaning back in her chair, she shut her eyes. 'I don't know if I love Inuyasha...I don't know what I feel...' 'Liar...' Kagome swallowed, her eyes softening. 'I do care for Inuyasha.... I like him a lot...But love? How do I know if I really do love him?' She shook her head, finally snapping out of her daze. With another sigh she stood and stretched.

 

Grabbing her briefcase off the floor, she placed it on the desk. Kagome snapped open the clasps, and started looking through papers that she needed Inuyasha to go over with her. She grumbled, and sighed. 'Finally.' She grasped the Peterson's case, and snapped her case closed. After making sure she had locked her briefcase, she headed over to Inuyashas office.

 

Kagome paused outside his office. She took a deep breath, and reach for the door handle. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks as the door opened. Kagome felt her heart stop.

 

Inuyasha smiled politely to Ms. Sakura Jones. She smiled, wearing her all time favorite red business suit, the one that hardly left anything to the imagination. They both paused as if just noticing Kagome was there. Sakura grinned at Kagome evilly, and leaned over placing a light kiss on Inuyasha's cheek. "I'll keep in touch. Glad to be doing business with you." She straightened her skirt. Kagome stood frozen. A cold thread pierced her heart. Inuyasha smiled at Sakura, totally ignoring Kagome. "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind." Sakura giggled, as she left the office, but not before winking at Kagome.

 

Inuyasha finally turn his attention to Kagome, as if finally actually noticing her. "Oh, hey Kagome." His face was blank, eyes hard and cold. Kagome swallowed, trying to get her emotions under control.

 

"Why was she here?" Inuyasha crossed his arms, snorting. "I don't believe I need to explain my business with my clients to you, Kagome." She winced, feeling hurt. She held the folder in a death grip, her knuckles turning white.

 

"But...I thought...Inuyasha...I..." Inuyasha snorted at her. "I, I, I. Is that all you can say Kagome? What do you want?" She felt tears coming to her eyes. 'I will not cry, I will not cry.' She held out the folder. "I...wanted to give you this..." She swallowed the lump in her throat, as Inuyasha snatched the folder. "You brought it, now leave." He was about to turn his back to her, clenching his eyes shut. `I will not break, I will not break.' He wouldn't beg her to forgive him. He stopped at feeling of a soft hand grabbing his arm.

 

"Inuyasha...what about us...? Why are you acting like this?" She didn't care anymore; tears were running down her pale cheeks. He stood stiff, eyes narrowed at her. He fought off the need to comfort her. He hated seeing her cry. "Kindly remove your hand from my arm." She flinched, dropping her hand. "As for us..." He paused, and Kagome held her breath.

 

"There is no us." Kagome stood there staring at Inuyasha. Pain, absolute pain, shot through her. She felt as though her heart was being ripped out. She had trusted him, and he used her. Anger soon replaced the hurt in her heart, but then sorrow took its place. Inuyasha watched all these different emotions play out through her eyes. He clenched his jaw to stay firm. This was for her own good. But why did it have to hurt so much?

 

Kagome finally broke down and sobbed. "I hate you..." She whispered. "I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She turned and ran. She never saw the tear that fell from Inuyashas eye, or the sorrow, or pain in his eyes.

 

Kagome sobbed, bumping into a few people before finally slamming trough the last door to get outside. She collapsed onto the pavement near the office door, and sobbed her heart out.

 

'I love him, I love him, I love him...' She finally realized, and cried more. She gasped, covering her mouth. With the other hand she searched for the mark he left on her. Nothing. Her skin, was blank, it had healed. Her hand that covered her mouth shook. Tears welled in her eyes, and she wailed. She wanted nothing more then to die right then and there. She never felt so ugly, so used then she felt right there. But most of all she never felt pain quite like this.

 

As she cried, she didn't notice a shadow hovering above her, a throat being cleared finally caught her attention. As her eyes finally traveled up, blue eyes met red.
