The Life She Chose

 

Last time:

 

“What happened to you, get attacked by a tree?” Sesshomaru asked when Rin and him came into the room.

 

“Literally.” Kagome said grinning, as she let go of Yuudai.

 

“Ohhhhhh!” Rin Squealed and clasped her hands over her mouth. “InuYasha! You have to kiss Kagome! You're standing under mistletoe!” She said pointing. All eyes flickered up to the archway Kagome and InuYasha were standing under, and sure enough, mistletoe was taped up to the wooden doorframe.

 

Chapter 8

 

The two standing underneath the mistletoe slowly lowered their eyes from the plant above them, and looked at each other, neither sure what to do. Millions of thoughts ran through both of their mind, as they quickly debated the options.

 

And then, out of no where, InuYasha took a quick step to Kagome, and crashed his lips on hers for one hell of an earth shattering kiss. Everyone in the room held their breath, as they watched Kagome and InuYasha sink into the kiss.

 

InuYasha pulled Kagome closer, holding onto her as if she was his life force. This is what he had been missing. This was why a little part of him, had never given up that they might get together one day. This was what he wanted for the past five years, no, this was what he needed.

 

Kagome reached up, and smoothed her hands over his shoulders, and into his hair, pulling him even closer then he already was. And that was all it took. InuYasha pulled away from the kiss, and roughly shoved Kagome off him. He lowered his head, letting his silver hair hang in his eyes, not looking at anyone, and stormed away, before anyone even realized what had happened.

 

Standing alone, under the mistletoe, Kagome gaped after him, confused, but not all that shocked. Tears sprang to her eyes, as she finally realized that she really had screwed up any chance of them being together, ever again. This kiss had proved that he would never forgive her. She ruined everything.

 

“Oh, Kagome…” Sango said, walking over to her slowly, and wrapping her arms around Kagome's shoulders. Kagome shrugged Sango off, and ran out of the dining room, and down one of the many halls.

 

“Why was Auntie Kagome crying? Did Uncle Yash hurt her?” Yuudai asked, sniffing the air and smelling the salty scent of Kagome's tears. Yuudai looked from his father to his mother, waiting for an answer.

 

“Yeah, he hurt her.” Rin said, looking down at her oldest, “But she hurt him first,”

 

“Is that why they were trying to eat each others faces? Cuz they were mad at each other?” Shizuka asked, looking up at her mother. Rin cracked a small grin, at her daughters question, but shook her head.

 

“No, that's not why. Why don't you guys go get some lunch. It's on the table.” Rin told her kids, who followed directions, ran to the table, and heaped their plates with lunch. Rin turned to Sango.

 

“What should we do, I don't think the plan is going to work…All this is doing is confusing InuYasha and pissing him off, and killing Kagome.”

 

“I know…maybe this was a bad idea, maybe they just weren't meant to be together.” Sango agreed, still starring down the hall Kagome had run down. Ayame came over to the, after helping all four kids get lunch.

 

“What are you talking about not meant to be? Of COURSE they are. They have to be. Remember all that they went through in high school, and still ended up together. That couldn't have been for nothing.” Ayame argued with them, as Miroku, Koga, and Sesshomaru came over to join the conversation.

 

“Aya, maybe that was just…a mistake. In high school, Kagome had been pretending to be Kikyo, for that bet. Maybe that's why they fell in love, because she reminded him so much of Kikyo.” Koga pointed out to his wife.

 

“No! That's not why! He had been falling in love with Kagome! Not Kikyo! He liked hanging out with her, he even used the excuse that she was teaching him guitar. He loved Kagome for who she was. And he still does, if he didn't he wouldn't have freaked out!” Ayame yelled, getting annoyed that no one was agreeing with her.

 

“But this is just causing more trouble between them then there already was.” Miroku said. What they were doing was supposed to be helping their friends out, not making their already miserable lives worse.

 

“Maybe, we should just take InuYasha home…” Rin said, glancing around at the group.

 

“It might be for the best.” Sesshomaru added.

 

“No! We did not start this, just to let it fall apart because those to are stubborn. We have to fight to get them back together!” Ayame screamed, getting madder by the second.

 

“Ayame, there's no use fighting for them, if they wont fight themselves.” Sango said, trying to get her to calm down, InuYasha could probably hear her screaming, since he had such acute hearing.

 

“But Kagome will fight for him! She wants him back in her life more then she wants anything in the world!”

 

“But InuYasha wont fight. Didn't you see his face when he pushed her away? He wanted it, but he knew it wasn't worth it. She'll probably just do the same thing to him again. And he can't go through it twice. No matter how hard anyone fights for them, he wont change his mind. That was obvious after today.” Sesshomaru explained.

 

“But he kissed her first!” Ayame continued to argue.

 

“We'll just have to put this to a vote. Will get everyone who was in on it, to say whether they think we should force InuYasha to stay here, where they will both suffer, or if we just take him home, where it will be easier for both of them.” Sango finally declared. “Sesshomaru, Rin, Could you go get your parents, and meet us in the lounge?”

 

“Sure.” They both agreed, and began to go up the stairs, in search for their parents.

 

“I'm going to see what Kagome's doing, then I'll meet all of you in the lounge.” Sango said.

 

“What about the kids?” Ayame asked.

 

“Yuudai can watch them. He's seven.” Miroku replied, as he walked over to the dinner table and asked Yuuidai to watch the younger ones, while everyone went to talk.

 

Sango headed right for Kagome's guitar room, and found Kagome sitting on the floor, next to her pink Hello Kitty guitar from high school, crying.

 

“Hey, Kagome.” Sango said, and sat down next to her friend. Kagome looked over at her.

 

“Can you believe this is the only guitar I have from high school?” She asked. “I had gotten rid of the rest when I had gotten better ones. The Flying V and Warlock were given away in one of those contest give away things. And the Virgin…I…I don't even remember what happened to it. I think I destroyed it one night.”

 

“You did, when it finally sunk in that InuYasha left. And you got drunk and mad at him for leaving you. You thought that he was in the wrong, and that he was an asshole for walking out, while you were drunk. So you tossed it out of the moving bus.” Sango explained.

 

“I was so stupid.” Kagome said softly, sniffling. “I was the one in the wrong. He never did anything wrong. It was all me. I ruined my life Sango. I never ever should have let him go. I should have listened and stopped partying.”

 

“Kagome, you didn't ruin your life, you've got what you have always wanted. You're living the life that everyone would trade their lives for.”

 

“This isn't what I want anymore. I would trade it with someone if I could. I would give ANYTHING to go back in time and fix everything. I would give up the fame, the money; I would swear to never pick up a guitar ever ever again, if it meant I could have him back.” Kagome whispered.

 

“But you can't Kagome. You're just going to have to try to make the best of how your life is now.” Sango said, standing. “I'll come back to see how your doing in a little bit.” And left.

 

Kagome stood up also, and headed for the library, where she would write. She had finally gotten inspiration, good inspiration.

 

When Sango reached the lounge, everyone was already gathered there, sitting on couches and chairs.

 

“Ok. It's not working out between Kagome and InuYasha. I think we should just take InuYasha home.” Sango said, getting right to the point.

 

“But It's only the second day. They'll come around.” Izayoi said. Sesshomaru shook his head.

 

“I don't think they will. InuYasha's too stubborn. He's not going to give her another chance.” Sesshomaru explained.

 

“It's only making things worse between them.” Koga added.

 

“But then what was the point of all this?” Sota demanded. “The point was to get them back together. Izayoi's right. It's only the second day. It's too soon! We can't just give up on them! Not if we want them to actually be happy.”

 

“What's the point?” Rin asked her younger brother. “They have already given up on each other. InuYasha won't let Kagome back in his life. And Kagome's to freakin depressed about him pushing her away to even fight for him. She knows its worthless. He's too stubborn.”

 

“Ok. Let's just vote, and see what everyone says.” Ayame said. “Everyone who thinks InuYasha should stay, and we'll all just have to try harder to get them together, raise your hand.” Her own hand was the first to shoot up in the air. It was joined by Sota's, Izayoi's, InuTaisho's, and Sota's girlfriend's.

 

“All those who think we should just stop now before it gets worse, raise your hands.” Sango said, leading off, and raising her own. Miroku's was the second to join, followed by Koga's, Sesshomaru's, Rin's and Mrs. Higurashi's. “That's six to five. Let's tell him to get his bags ready, InuYasha's leaving.” Sango said quietly.

A/N: Whoa. Haven't updated in forever, and I'm truly sorry about that. I'll have more time to update now, since the rest of the Steelers games r night games & Monday night games. So my Sundays should be pretty free. The next story I will update wont be this one, but it will probably be The Coaches Daughter or Just By Luck (just in case u read em.) since those were prolly the ones I update least.

 

Wow. This chapter was very…talky. Sorry about that. It prolly wasn't all that good. With school, I barely have time to write anymore…so I'm kinda rusty. Sorry bout that.
