InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Boy Next Door ❯ Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I don't own Sesshomaru, nor Kagome, nor Kikyo, nor Sango and sure as hell not Inuyasha. I would have spanked him for being bad a long time ago if I did.

 

 

 

 

The Boy Next Door

 

 

 

She sat waiting at the booth in the little diner with her menu in hand. She was entirely too nervous about this meeting. She had convinced Sesshomaru to talk Tara into giving her a chance. Kagome didn't like the fact that one of Sesshomaru's friends seemed to not like her. He had tried to tell that it didn't matter what his friends thought, but it was just nagging at Kagome.

 

He had finally given Kagome Tara's number and after two days of chewing her lip raw she called the girl. Tara had been all together surprised the girl had the guts to call. Kagome pleaded her case and Tara agreed to meet her for lunch so that they could try at a friendship.

 

“Hello Kagome.” Tara's voice rang over the menu Kagome had been staring at.

 

“Hey Tara.” Kagome smiled brightly to the girl taking a seat across from her.

 

The meeting was going so well that Kagome was starting think that maybe there was hope. Tara was getting ready to use the restroom when her purse spilled from the table to the floor. It was when Kagome went to help the girl that a picture grabbed her attention. As she lifted it to look at it Tara grabbed it wide eyed from the girl in a panic.

 

“You can't tell Sesshomaru.” Tara said grabbing Kagome's hand.

 

“That girl. I saw her before at Sesshomaru's house in other pictures. Oh my f'ing god.” Kagome said sitting shocked on the floor of the diner and not caring at the strange looks cast her way.

 

“Please Kagome.” Tara said as she started to break down on the floor next to her.

 

It was at this time that the waitress came over and asked if there was a problem. The girls looked around to see all the eyes on them and jumped to straighten their clothes. Sitting back in the booth and just staring at one another it was Tara that cleared her throat and started to explain.

 

“I loved her. She was my world……I came back for her….I was to late.” Tara said wiping some tears from her eyes.

 

“Sesshomaru's sister Sakiko.” Kagome said slowly to make sure she was correct.

 

Tara nodded. “I remember the first time I had seen her. Such an arrogant thing and I just had to have her.” Tara said swallowing back tears and staring off in memory.

 

Kagome began to recall when she first saw Sesshomaru. “She must have been something.” Kagome mused.

 

“She was, but she was she scared to tell her family about us. I was tired of being a secret lover and watching her with Hiten. So I left. She told me that if I left she would die without me. I thought she was being dramatic.” Tara frowned as the tears slid to puddle in her shaking hands.

 

Kagome walked to Tara's side of the booth and embraced her. She had a feeling that Tara had been holding her tears in for a long time. After a few minutes Tara pulled back to try and get herself under some semblance of control. She picked the photo back up to look at it. Kagome's eyes drifted to the photo in her a hand. It was so innocent and shouldn't cause the problems that she was sure it would.

 

Two girls in a photo booth sharing a simple kiss.

 

At that moment Kagome wanted nothing more to go and find Sesshomaru. Grab him up her arms and kiss him till one of them passed out from being light headed. She looked to the girl next to her and all the torment that was so clear on her face. Tara was blaming herself just like everyone in Sakiko's family. Kagome couldn't help, but wonder if the girl knew she would cause so much pain when she ended her life.

 

“Tara, you should tell Sesshomaru.” Kagome said in her most comforting voice.

 

“No, she didn't want them to know. She had even dated Hiten to fool everyone. I cant out her in death.” Tara said panicking

 

“You didn't see Sesshomaru after he found out about Inuyasha.” Kagome said hoping that the girl would not make her keep this from him.

 

“I will. I just….let me have some time and then he will know. I promise.” Tara said looking up to Kagome in hope of agreement.

 

“Okay.” Kagome sighed.

 

A month passed and Tara still had said nothing to Sesshomaru about the romance between her and his sister. Sesshomaru had returned back to school, and the hot topic was the prom. So wrapped up in what they were going to wear and what they would do after Kagome had completely forgot about the secret that she was keeping form her boyfriend. Of course as everyone knows.

 

Secrets always come out in the end.

 

It was a Saturday morning not unlike any other that she had before. She trotted over to her boyfriend's house and opened door. They had told her long ago not to knock, because she was like family. Tossing open his door she figured that he had just crawled from bed. She walked over and plopped down next to him. It wasn't till he raised his eyes to meet hers that she knew something was wrong.

 

“She killed herself. Kagome.” His voice tired and cracked.

 

“What? Who?” Kagome gasped throwing her arms around her boyfriend.

 

“Tara. She left us notes and said that you could explain.” Sesshomaru said pain rumbling through his voice.

 

Kagome took the letter and ripped it open. The letter was no letter at all, but the picture that Kagome had found of Sakiko and Tara kissing. Kagome froze as she realized Tara wanted her to do this for them. Tell everyone about the secret that had taken the lives of two women. Kagome broke down crying at the thought that maybe if she had said something she could have stopped Tara.

 

Sesshomaru was a little bewildered at the scene of his girlfriend breaking down for his friend. He hadn't noticed the picture clutched in her hand as she sobbed into his shoulder. Kagome sucked in a breath and unable to find the words simply handed him the picture. His mouth parted in shock as he looked to his girlfriend.

 

“Did….Did you know about this?” Sesshomaru asked wondering why Tara would leave such a thing to Kagome.

 

“I found it when we went to lunch.” Kagome said looking into his darkening eyes.

 

“You knew…YOU KNEW!” Sesshomaru yelled getting to his feet in accusation.

 

“She made me promise not to say anything.” Kagome said jumping to her own defense.

 

His lips pursed as he looked at her. The look in his eyes was void of any emotion except betrayal. She for once was really and truly scared of him. She went to leave the room and give him some time, but he grabbed her harshly by the arms and pulled her into bruising kiss that made her yelp. Once he finished he tossed her from him and stared at her in pure hatred.

 

“That is the last kiss you get from me. Get the fuck out of my house.” He sneered.

 

Kagome more than a little scared dashed from his house not saying anything to his father as she darted into her home. She was shaking not sure if it was fear or sadness from the ending of her relationship. She didn't know what to do so she called Sango in hopes that she would calm her.

 

Sango had been there in minutes. It had taken a few more to get Kagome to open her door. When Kagome told Sango the story she could only comfort the girl as she cried in her arms. Sango wasn't sure how her own boyfriend was going to take the news that the once thought love of his life had never loved him at all. Sango gave a mental sigh thinking about the problems to come.

 

The funeral for Tara had come and gone. Sesshomaru wouldn't look at her, speak to her and she highly doubted that if she were on fire that he would even spit on her. They avoided each other at school and she watched as he would bringing numerous girls home. She watched as at school he made out with Kagura under their tree and she watched as her heart turned to cold ash.

 

Thinking it better to get out of the house for a Saturday she found herself at the art museum staring blankly at a picture of two lovers. She hadn't noticed when someone walked up beside her. Nor when the person began to sketch her until she snapped back to look at them.

 

“Sebastian.” She said surprised at seeing him.

 

“Oh you do remember me, but you didn't keep your promise.” He mock chided.

 

Kagome frowned as she thought back to everything that had happened. She suddenly threw her arms around him in hug. It was to comfort her not him, but he didn't really seem to care as he dropped his pad and embraced her.

 

“Are you okay?” He whispered in her ear and she nodded no.

 

“Are you hungry?” He asked not really knowing what else to do, but feed her.

 

“Are you trying to make me fat?” She laughed sadly and he pulled back to look at her nodding no. He grabbed his sketch pad and her hand.

 

At lunch Kagome told Sebastian everything. He couldn't believe that two people could have such horrible luck. She had felt so much better letting it all out that she actually smiled. Then she remembered the sketching he was doing.

 

“So you sketch huh?” She asked almost rolling her eyes at herself. `Duh'

 

“I thought I told you. I'm an art student.” Sebastian said getting more comfortable.

 

“Wow no, but I would love to see your work sometime!” Kagome exclaimed excited by the idea. Sebastian laughed as she realized the attention she drew to her self.

 

It was getting late when Sebastian drove her home. They had spent an entire day together and not once had she thought of Sesshomaru. Well till Sebastian pulled into the driveway. She was overly nervous that he would come out and start something, but she didn't know why. It was time to move on. He had many many many times now from what she could count.

 

Sebastian walked her to the door holding her hand. When they reached it he pulled her closer and went to give her a chaste kiss. Kagome had however felt the need to deepen it holding him to her. When they finally did break apart both panted lightly and gave a little laugh.

 

“I'll call you tomorrow and we can do something.” Sebastian breathed

 

“Great, I would like that. Thanks for everything Sebastian.” She smiled

 

It was the middle of the night when she woke to the sound of something hitting her window. She looked out to Sesshomaru tossing pebbles and looking upset. She went to ignore him, but he continued. Balling her fists she grabbed her robe and headed out of the house.

 

“What the fuck do you think you are doing?” She snarled

 

He went to move closer, but she backed away from him. “I wanted to talk to you.”

 

“Then talk.” She said weary of any movement that he made to her.

 

“I saw that guy here. Is he your boyfriend now?” He said calmly even though when he had seen the kiss earlier he wanted nothing more than to pummel the guy.

 

“Really well I saw every girl in the fucking state at your house! Are they yours?” She jeered

 

He knew she had been watching. It had been his intention the entire time to make her watch. He hadn't had sex with them just made out and then went home to finish him self thinking of her. He had been so mad at her for keeping something like that from him. He wanted her to feel the sting of betrayal that he had felt.

 

“Kagome, I…” He went to step closer again and watched as she backed from him once more. “Why do you keep moving away from me?”

 

“I don't want whatever you could have caught from your whores.” She growled, but it was more in fear that he would hurt her. That day was still fresh in her mind.

 

His eyes narrowed at her jab.

 

“You can talk the way you shoved your tongue down his throat.”

 

“I don't think we have anything left to say to each other Sesshomaru.” Kagome said turning to walk back into her house.

 

“Kagome please. I love you.” He said trying to fix the problem with three little words.

 

She didn't turn around as she dug her nails into her hands to keep her tears away. “If this is the way you treat people you love Sesshomaru. No wonder they kill themselves.” She replied listening to the sharp intake of breath from him. Kagome knew it was maybe the most hurtful thing she had ever said. That didn't matter after what he had done to her.
