Since you've been Gone

 

Chapter 1: The Breakup

 

Kagome looked expectantly at Inuyasha, silently willing him to speak. He wasn't looking at her. In fact, he was looking anywhere but at her. “Inuyasha, why aren't you looking at me? What did you want to say to me?” she asked in a gentle, pleading tone, her chocolate orbs searching his face. He gulped; eyes trained on his hands were tapping nervously on the empty glass on the table in front of him. He had to tell her now. If he didn't, he would never be able to. Already it was almost too hard. He took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. “Kagome,” he said in a shaky voice, “I want to-“

 

“What do you want?” she questioned, more calmly than she felt. She already knew the answer. He had been acting odd around her this past week. He had been more considerate and spent more time with her that week than he ever had before. Occasionally, when they were watching a movie together or eating dinner, catch his amber eyes staring at her, but then look away quickly, almost guiltily. She knew what he wanted. It was obvious.

 

“I'm so sorry Kagome, but,” he began again, “I don't want to go out with you anymore. She felt herself go into shock. She had expected it, why was it such a surprise? She felt tears well up in her eyes, and vaguely heard herself ask, “Why? Was it something I did or said? I'm so sorry if it is. Please tell me why!” Inuyasha's mouth went dry. He couldn't just leave her like that. He had to give her some sort of explanation for his sudden decision. “Kikyou and I-“he broke off. “Kikyou,” he heard her whisper. He looked back at her, praying that she was taking this better he thought. She wasn't. When before her expression was one of confusion and anguish, it was now one of anger. She stood up suddenly, knocking her chair over in the process and screeched, “You are breaking up with me to be with Kikyou?!”

 

Everyone in the club stopped talking and turned their heads in the direction of all the commotion. They saw one very guilty looking hanyou looking helplessly up at one very enraged looking woman. “I can't believe this!” she yelled, “You told me that you were over her, that you loved me! Was that a lie?” Inuyasha cringed, “not completely.” “Was that a lie?” she asked again, more demanding this time. He could only nod. Kagome stared at him, her spirit broken. “I see,” was all she said. She leaned down to grab her purse and settled it on her shoulder before turning back to the hanyou again. “Goodbye Inuyasha,” she said quietly, before turning on her heal and heading towards the door.

 

Inuyasha flinched. He did want to break up with her, but not like this. “Kagome, wait!” he cried out desperately. She paused for a moment, but then continued walking, not once looking back, silent tears streaming down her face.

Inuyasha just stood there, staring at the place where Kagome had been just moments before. He then turned back to the table, paid the bill, and walked out of the club.

 

 

Sesshomaru looked on in disgust as the woman screamed at his damned half-brother. His half brother had absolutely no taste. Going out with one filthy human every month. He never did anything right. He couldn't even find a way to break up with a woman without causing a huge seen.

 

Sesshomaru, forgetting about his half brother for the moment, turned back to the matter at hand. He needed to find the next big pop sensation within one week, or he was out of a job. As one of the top talent agents in Japan, he usually didn't need to go looking for clients, as they were usually pouring by the bus load, from all over the country. This time was different though. His boss, Mr. Onigumo, was jealous of his skill, and so decided to test its limits to see how skill full Sesshomaru really is. That was the story at least. Sesshomaru knew that his boss set him to an impossible task, simply so that he could get rid of a competitor.

 

Sesshomaru had been going to different clubs and bars the past two days, trying to find ones that had karaoke or open mike. He had found plenty of these, but so far, had found no people with any sort of outstanding talent. He was, quite frankly, surprised at the things he would do for his job. Normally, he never would have lowered himself to enter a place like this. It was nice enough, but it stank of human. He usually went to the higher class places that only served demons. He had been sitting for two hours at this one table, hidden slightly away from view. He had forced himself to sit and listen to one horrible singer after another, with absolutely no break in between. He sighed and stood up. He would not accomplish his goal tonight, he knew. He would go home, rest, and do it all over again tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

Yay! It's my new story!

 

It's not great, as far as other stories of its kind go, but please bear with me. Any questions or comments that you have please send me in a review.

 

I don't really know yet where I'm going with this one. I was actually watching the music video to “Since U Been Gone” bye Kelly Clarkson when I cam up with this idea (hence the title). I do know that this will be a Sess/Kag though; just in case any one was wondering. ^^

 

Also, I don't really know anything about the whole agent thing, so please don't kill me if I am completely off(Which I probably am).
