Chapter 7: I Miss You

 

Ten Days. It had been ten days since Spring Break had ended, and Kagome had last seen InuYasha. It didn't feel like it was really possible. Ever since Ayame stopped talking to her, except for when she absolutely needed to, all the days seemed to mush together, and Kagome couldn't remember if her counting was correct. It felt more like years. She could no longer remember exactly what day it was, and she had been late to class every day this week, If she even remembered to attend.

 

It felt even longer, since she had spent the past few hours with Hojo. Had he always been that dull and boring? And he was cute, sure, but not as cute as she remembered, from before she had went on spring break. He was currently rambling on, about…something. The wedding probably, and who he wanted to invite. Or maybe it was about something that happened in one of his classes.

 

“Hojo, do you mind if I turn on the radio, I have a lot on my mind right now, and I would love to listen to some music. You know, that always helps me. Please?” Kagome said as nicely as she could. She didn't want to sound like she was trying to shut him up, which she was, but she really didn't feel like listening to him anymore.

 

Hojo nodded, and flipped the radio station to Kagome's favorite, 105.7 The X, a hard rock station. He turned it up, just as a Disturbed song was ending and the DJ was beginning to talk.

 

“Well, if you have been paying any attention to the news on the rock side, you've probably heard that lead singer of Shikon Jewel, InuYasha Takahashi, wrote his first song for a girl the other day. Rumor has it that his first love song, Have you Ever Needed Someone so Bad, didn't work out as well as he planned. Really, I don't know why a guy like InuYasha, who could have anyone is still going after this one girl, but apparently she's pretty incredible, according to him. A friend of the mystery girl tipped InuYasha off, and told him that the X is her favorite station. So he has written ANOTHER new song, just for her, and we are the first radio station in the WORLD to play this song. So here it is, Shikon Jewel's brand spanking new song, hot out of the recording room, I Miss You.” The DJ said, as soft rock music began. Kagome glanced over at Hojo, freaking out, but he wasn't even paying attention to her. He turned up the radio, and grinned at her, knowing it was her favorite band, and that she had an obsession with InuYasha. Instantly Kagome felt guilty. Hojo knew that she had loved the band, but he didn't know that she had recently fallen for the lead singer.

 

“This is cool. I wonder who the girl is, she must live in our area if she listens to this station. Wonder why she isn't going to him. I would have thought ANY girl would have given their life to be with InuYasha. I know you would.” Hojo said teasingly, making Kagome's mouth to become dry. What would he do if he knew the girl WAS her?

 

“I don't know. Maybe she's crazy.” Kagome said softly, her voice coming out strangled.

 

“To see you when I wake up,

Here's a gift, I didn't think could be real,

To know that you feel the same as I do,

Is a threefold, utopian dream,” InuYasha's dreamy deep voice came out of the speakers. Kagome bit her lip, not sure how to react. This was his second song for her, and each time he wrote one she felt worse, for so many different reasons. Truthfully, she wanted to go to him. But she knew that was wrong, and that it would break Hojo's heart. And she couldn't do that. But leaving InuYasha hanging, singing song after song for her, how was she suppose to ignore something so sweet? No matter what she did, someone's heart was going to end up broken. Either way, she would be the bad guy.

 

“You do something to me that I can't explain,

So would I be out of line if I said,

I Miss You,”

 

“I never imagined InuYasha doing something as…romantic as this. He's never striked me as the romantic type. Do you think he's actually in love with this girl?” Hojo asked Kagome.

 

“I don't know. Can a rock star really be in love? They're just gonna cheat on their girlfriends and everything.” Kagome pointed out, quietly, trying to listen to the song over Hojo's talking.

 

“Of course they can feel love, they're people after all.” Hojo retorted.

 

“I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine,

You have only been gone ten days, and already I'm wasting away,

I know I'll see you again,

Whether far or soon,

But I need to you know, that I care,

And I Miss you,” InuYasha held the last note, as the song came to a close, and Kagome let out a sigh of relief.

 

Once Hojo got Kagome back to her apartment, she made up an excuse for why he couldn't come up stairs, and hurried upstairs. Preparing for yet another fight with Ayame. She had probably been the one that told him which radio station she listened to.

 

“Ayame!” Kagome yelled, as she slammed the door shut behind her. “Ayame, get your skinny ass out here!” But nothing happened. The entire apartment held in eerie silence, that it never use to hold. The apartment use to be full of life, and laughter, now it was just cold, and quiet. No one was home. Why was that not surprising? Ever since Kagome had started spending most of her time, moping on the couch, and shoveling in a lot of chocolate ice cream, something she normally hated, Ayame had been spending less time at home.

 

Sighing, Kagome headed for the freezer, where a new carton of Ben and Jerry's double chocolate brownie was currently hidden. Kagome had always hated chocolate ice cream, but recently she had been having strong cravings for it. She told herself that it was only because she had been sad and confused recently. And many times, when people became depressed they often ate chocolate.

 

Actually, Kagome had been noticing that she had been craving a lot of sweets as of lately, all of which she blamed on the fact that her friends were mad at her, and she was afraid Hojo would discover it was her that InuYasha was singing about. Ayame kept telling her that she was going to start gaining weight, but it didn't faze Kagome, she was hungry all the time.

 

As she got out her ice cream, and grabbed a spoon, she noticed a note from Ayame laying on the counter. Picking up the post it note, Kagome scanned Ayame's loopy writing.

 

Kag,

Put the damn ice cream away, and go get dressed. In something hott. We're going out tonight with Sango. U better be outta the bathroom by the time I get home from work so I can get ready. This is a girls only thing. So don't invite Hojo. We want to have fun, not to be put to sleep with his dumb ass stories. Seeya soon,

 

Aya

 

Heaving another sigh, Kagome laid down the paper, and put her ice cream away. Maybe going out and partying with her friends was what she needed. Walking back to her room, Kagome grabbed an outfit to wear out, and then headed for the bathroom for a shower.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

“Where are we going?” Kagome asked Ayame, later that night. Sango was driving the car, while Ayame sat in the passenger seat, making Kagome sit in the back.

 

“To a party.” Sango answered simply, shrugging. Kagome rolled her eyes, and glanced at the time on the radio. They had already been driving for almost two hours! Who in the hell drove that far for a party?

 

“Who's party?” Kagome demanded.

 

“Does it matter? You need to loosen up. And there will be plenty of beer there. So no worries. Just sit back and wait. We'll be there soon.” Ayame told her without looking at her. Kagome let out a large annoyed sigh. She had said they would be there soon about an hour ago. If she knew going out meant driving for hours to a party, she wouldn't have come. A party wasn't worth this long of a boring, awkward car ride. She could have stayed home, and washed away her troubles with some ice cream.

 

Sometime later, the three girls arrived outside a crowded bar. Every spot in the parking lot was filled, meaning they had to park along the street.

 

“You mean, we came all this way, for a bar?” Kagome asked, amazed that her friends were so stupid. “We have bars right near our dorms you know. We could have walked there. Do you realize how much gas you just wasted?”

 

“Kagome shut up. You'll see why this bar is so great when we get inside.” Ayame said, checking her makeup one last time, and getting out of the car. Kagome followed her two best friends into the bar.

 

“Sorry ladies, bars full. If you want to get in later, you can wait in line over there.” The door attendant said, pointing over to where a long line stood against the side of the building.

 

“Sir, we're on the VIP list. The band made sure to put us on. We're probably the three first names at the top. Sango, Ayame and Kagome.” Sango told the man, smirking. Kagome's eyes widened.

 

“Band? What band put us on their VIP?” Kagome demanded, as the man unlocked the door for them and allowed them inside. Ayame smirked, grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her through the threshold. Even the bar was crowded, Kagome spotted him within seconds.

 

“Oh. My. God.” She said softly. “No I'm leaving. I'll walk home.” She spun around on her heel, and headed for the door.

 

“I don't think so Kagome. We didn't drive all the way up here for nothing.” Sango said, grabbing Kagome's elbow, and pulling her over to where InuYasha was standing, talking to a group of scantily dressed young women.

 

“InuYasha!” Sango and Ayame shouted to gain his attention. He glanced over to see who was calling him and his eyes immediately lit up.

“Hey! You guys did make it!” He yelled, coming over to them, and forgetting about the girls he had been talking to before, his amber eyes never left Kagome.

 

“Yep.” Sango said, as her eyes searched the crowd.

 

“Miroku's in the bathroom, but he was hanging out with Koga, over there,” InuYasha said pointing to the one side of the bar, “And having a drinking contest.” Sango and Ayame nodded, and pushed their way through the crowd to get to the boys they wanted.

 

“How you doin?” InuYasha asked Kagome when they were alone. Kagome toke a deep breath and looked up at him.

 

“Fine. What about you.”

 

“I've been better. So, have you heard the songs?” InuYasha asked, getting straight to the topic. He didn't want to make small talk. He just wanted her, and to know how she felt.

 

“Yeah. I have.” Kagome nodded. “They're really great.” She wasn't lying. Kagome did love the songs. As soon as they came out on a CD she would definitely buy it.

 

“So…why don't you do what Rin did? You can travel with the band, party every night. It will be great. I can give you anything Kagome. I have enough money. You'll never have to worry about the price of anything ever again.”

 

“InuYasha, it's not about the money, or what you could buy me.” Kagome said, shaking her head, not wanting to have to explain this again.

 

“I can give you anything Kagome. Anything you want. Just come with me.” InuYasha insisted.

 

“I want stability InuYasha. I want a family, a nice house, and a job. I want to have kids, who will have a normal life. I have had the perfect life planned out since I was a kid. I know exactly what I want, and you can't give it to me.” Kagome tried to explain again.

 

“I can give you all that Kagome. I'll give you a better life then any other guy out there. I'm sure all the other guys that you might want aren't as rich as me.” InuYasha told her.

 

“Its not about the money.” Kagome said again. “InuYasha, it can never work between us. You're a rock star, and I'm not going to stand in your way. If I'm with someone, I expect them to be faithful.”

 

“I can do that.”

 

“For how long? A month maybe? There are so many girls that would do anything to sleep with you. And I don't want to be the one who makes you stop having fun with that. You'll end up thinking of me as one of those nagging, ultra-annoying, controlling wives. And you'll hate me, and I don't want that.” Kagome ran a hand through her hair, stressfully. People were starting to pay attention to their conversation. She even saw a few people take a picture or two with their cell phones. They had probably heard him call her Kagome, and they followed Shikon Jewel enough to know that she was the girl he was singing about.

 

“Maybe I don't want to have a wild life like that anymore.” InuYasha said, shrugging his shoulders, and losing patience. Why couldn't she just give him what he wanted? He always got what he wanted. Although, he had to admit, this whole playing `hard to get thing' she was doing, was only making him want her more. After all, everyone wants what they can't have.

 

Kagome took a deep breath, and then said the only thing that she thought would end this fiasco in a second. “InuYasha, I'm engaged. I have a fiancé. I snuck off to Vegas, and never told him, and then I met you. I'm sorry InuYasha….but…he can give me the stability I want.”

 

“You're…you're engaged? Are you serious?” InuYasha asked, his eyes grew wide. Kagome lowered her head and nodded, causing raven hair to cascade into her face. After a few seconds of thought, InuYasha's eyes hardened. “Do you love him?”

 

“I think…”

 

“You think? It's a yes or no question, Kagome. Do you love him?” InuYasha asked, his voice sounded different now, stricter, angrier.

 

“He can give me the life I want. The one I've always wanted. I've been planning on getting married to him for sometime. I'm going to marry him. It's part of my life plan.”

 

“You know, life plans, they don't always work out.” InuYasha said, laughing humorously. “I always thought I would want to spend my life partying, and never settling down. And If I ever did want to, I always planned that the girl would fall at my feet, instead of backing away, because she can't ruin her `plan'.” He shook his head, and walked away.
