A Little Thing I Call Rock

An Inuyasha and Kagome Fanfiction

One: Ignorance

 

`If I'm a bad person, you don't like me; well I guess I'll make my own way… It's a circle, I mean cycle. I can't excite you anymore… Where's your gavel, your jury, what's my offense this time? You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me, well sentence me to another life…'

The black haired Goddess of Rock walked through the hall, ignoring all who hold her higher than she really felt. Her messy bun bounced as she walked down the hall. Her shoulders were back, ample chest slightly poking out in elegance and confidence. Her long slender legs, covered by sweatpants, glided across the floor, completely fluid like. Her honey eyes locked ahead of her, only flickering at the sight of him and his girlfriend, the girl only two inches taller than herself. She adjusted her target again.

He hadn't acknowledged her. Not a glance or even a slight sign to show that she was even there. His eyes were glued to the 5'6 girl in front of him. His eyes stayed locked with her, only straying when a friend of his passed by. Despite his past he didn't look up. Despite the power, the connection he harbors, he ignored her, as if she never existed.

She fought the urge to roll her eyes as she walked past him and headed to her locker. Once she reached it, she heard it, his deep voice to her sensitive ears.

“Bitch…” he said, followed by a giggle. She turned and looked at him to find him holding his girlfriend, Kikyo, his body curling around her, his stare on someone else. Her.

She looked at him for a while before smirking at him. He looked at her in sheer confusion before his eyes widened and her reached to clutch his chest as she did hers.

“Inuyasha,” Kikyo said with sickeningly fake concern, “what's wrong?” Inuyasha looked up and found her closing her locker with something different in her eyes. Regret. For what? He didn't know. But it was soon replaced by satisfaction. He glared.

“Bitch,” he pronounced a bit louder so everyone could hear. They stopped and looked at the two, amazed by their sudden confrontation after all these year.

“You pronounced Kagome wrong,” she said with a calm stare of her own. His glare was hard and fierce.

“No I think you pronounced bitch wrong,” he snapped back. She raised a fine brow and sent her everything about that word in his direction. He clutched his heart again.

Kagome watched him, specifically his amber eyes, matching them in anger, though hers being calm and his not so much.

“What the fuck is your problem?” he asked, looking up at her from his doubled over position, hand still tight to his heart.

“MY problem is that you started something WITH ME that you couldn't seem to finish,” she said. To them, it meant so much more, but to those on the outside looking in, it was about the current event. Kikyo stepped in.

“Maybe if you weren't such a bitch we wouldn't be standing here right now,” the world grew silently. All aside from Kagome. Her eyes flicked over in Inuyasha's direction before going back to Kikyo and laying down her brutal verdict.

“Kikyo… Oh simple minded, cold hearted, gold digging Kikyo… Weren't you and Inuyasha here broken up?” she challenged. Kikyo pocked her chest out in pride.

“August 8th, but we pulled through a week later, though I don't comprehend why that has anything to do with you,” she said with a glare.

“You don't comprehend a lot of things do you Kikyo?” Kagome said. “It is my understanding that those are the dates where the stocks, specifically Mr. Takahashi's, fell to the lowest and rose above all. Still growing strong I might add.” She could feel Inuyasha's youkai heart beat a bit faster, so she stopped there.

“I don't understand what you're trying to say,” Kikyo said. Kagome raised a fine black brow and smirked.

“This isn't for you to understand what I'm saying. You know what you're doing, now all that's left is for Inuyasha to understand this never ending cycle,” she said. She looked at Inuyasha and her heart began beating faster in her chest.

“You're so jealous Kagome. So mad that I can't love you. Get over it already because everyone watching us has. You constantly put Kikyo down, giving her titles that don't belong to her that she doesn't deserve. All because she has it all. Money, the perfect guy, grace and undeniable beauty…”

`Promise me, that we will always stand by one another… Because I want no other… No one matches your beauty…'

“Why don't you just back off and accept the way things are Kagome?” Inuyasha said. The crowd gained tears in their eyes, watching the scene before them, and comparing them to that of the two's past. Kagome however stared at him, with the emptiest, emotionless eyes he'd ever seen, and his human heart slowed in each beat.

“Forgive me,” she began, “Inuyasha, for telling you how it really is, for doing the nicest thing anyone will ever do for you. But now I'll wait, and watch with careful eyes as she destroys your feeble heart bit by bit,” she said. His mouth began to drop, his heart, he couldn't hear, he couldn't feel, he couldn't tell it was even there.

“I cannot wait to be freed from this, and rid of you,” she said, and he gasped. She stared at him, empty and almost betrayed, with the eyes he'd given her, smirked with the smile he'd given her. She turned away from them and walked to meet her cousin, Rin, and her best friend Sango.

 

`Don't wanna hear your sad songs, and I don't wanna feel your pain. Well you say it's all my fault, cause you know we're not the same. We're not the same. Oh we're not the same. Yeah, we're friends who stuck together, we wrote our names in blood, but I guess you can't accept that the change is good. It's good. It's good…'

`Inuyasha, why did you bring me out here?' an 11 year old Kagome asked. She stood under the sacred tree, blue eyes watching with curiosity. He took her hands in his clawed ones and pulled her closer to him. She stared up in confusion.

`Inuyasha….'

`Promise me, that we will always stand by one another… Because I want no other… No one matches your beauty… Your strength and grace…' he said in a soft tone. Her eyes widened a fraction.

`Will… Will it hurt?' she asked, weak yet willing. He nodded his head once but kept his gaze locked with that of her own.

`I'm not biting your neck, Kagome, just here…' he said before rubbing a thumb, already rough with hard working calluses, over a smooth bottom lip. She looked up at him and let her eyes tell him everything. He removed his thumb from her lips and replaced it with his own. She gave into him willingly.

He bit her, causing her to wince, but her pain didn't last long, for she bit him with her new canines. They let their blood mix, helping as they continued to bind closer to one another. Once all the blood was dry, they pulled away and honey met honey.

Inuyasha pulled her close and just held her there.

`You're so beautiful…” She said nothing, just sat there and soaked in his warm embrace.

4 years later…

`What the hell do you mean I can't do this? You are not my father!' she screamed, tears brimming her eyes. He glared a dark glare.

`No I'm not, but you are mine and I'm saying you can't freaking do it!' he yelled at her. She raised her hands in the air before letting them slap against her hips.

`Last time I checked my neck was free of youkai scars you jack ass!' she screamed back, tears now spilling over, though Inuyasha was too busy to notice.

`It doesn't matter! You are mine and no one else's!' he yelled, eyes growing redder and redder with every remark.

`I am your equal! That's the way this is! But you can't accept that! It's always you have to be on top. You have to have the most cars, the biggest house, and in this case the most money! Inuyasha always has to be in control of everything!' she screamed.

`That's because you lack to competence to do anything correctly!' he said. She gasped before picking up a vase and slamming it against a wall. Her anger, along with the emotions her and Inuyasha have shared for four years now allowed her eyes to grow red.

`Did you just call me stupid?! You're the dumb ass for even making this a problem you idiotic control freak!' she screamed, her breaths becoming shallow, jagged, and uneven.

`Me? You want to start a band with your stupid friends at fifteen years old and I'm the dumb ass?' he questioned.

`Oh come on Inuyasha. I couldn't pay you to get out of your father's chair and you have an `f' in math!' she said.

`Are you telling me I'm not fit to run my father's company Kagome?' he said angrily.

`Are you telling me that I can't do what I've only dreamed of doing?' she asked. They stared at one another.

`You've changed Kagome…' he said softly. She looked down before looking back up t him, tears still falling from what's left over.

`For the good, but you can't take that I'm moving forward,' she said, and they begged one another to go back to before this, but all they do recently is argue. She walked up to him and they kissed, long and passionate.

`I love you, Inuyasha. I'm sorry you couldn't love me,' she said. He stared, knowing that he loved her more than life itself… Letting her manipulate him otherwise.

`Goodbye my love,' she said kissing him one last time before turning, putting a hand over her mouth and trying her hardest not to run away.

`Well you treat me just like, another stranger it's nice, to meet you sir, I guess I'll go, I must be on my way out. You treat me just like, another stranger it's nice, to meet you sir, I guess I'll go, I must be on my way out… Ignorance is your new best friend, and ignorance it your new best friend…'

“Kagome, wake!” a girl said. Kagome's eyes snapped open with a set of magenta and a set of hazel eyes looking down at her with complete concern.

“What?” Kagome asked. She sat up and looked from one girl to the other in confusion, waiting for someone to say something concerning why they'd woke her up at three in the morning on a Saturday.

“You're sweating like a pig,” Sango said, her brown bangs clinging to her skin. Kagome rolled her eyes before sitting up and stretching, slightly pissed that she was now fully away.

“Kagome, what were you dreaming of?” Rin asked carefully. Kagome pulled her knees up to her chest before propping her elbows on them and running her hands through the strands that weren't in the now messy braid.

“Nothing I can really remember,” she lied, reliving a moment she'd much rather forget. She fell back on her bed and thought of everyday since then. He'd never look at her, and he'd try his hardest to block her out, but he didn't always manage. After years later, he'd learn to manage, and if it got too much… Her life was in quite a bit of danger…

It didn't seem like he cared though, not yesterday, not two years ago, when she walked away from him. She ignored her friends as the called her name. She got up and slipped on her Converse. Ignoring all around her, she busted out into the night.

`This is the best thing that could have happened. Any longer and I wouldn't have made it. It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture, I'm just a person and you can't take it. The same tricks that, that once fooled me, they won't get you anywhere. I'm not the same kid, from your memory. Now I can fend for myself…'

“That stupid bitch, always getting in the way of something,” a shirtless Inuyasha said standing before his television. Kikyo lay sleeping in his bed, snuggled in the covers.

Kagome, Sango, Rin, and a redhead named Ayame moved about the screen. As the song ended, Kagome looked up at the rain filled sky and whispered her famous words, `Catch Me,' before the screen went black.

He clicked the television off and went down his stairs to the kitchen. He grabbed a glass and poured some water before sitting on the glass island located on the middle of the kitchen.

“Her and that stupid band are all over the freaking place. They never stop for a second and think that people have better things to do besides watching her at 3am,” he mumbled to himself. Despite himself, he turned on the television and watched her interview.

“The way here was a hard one to say the least,” she said to the guy across from her. She offered him a smiled.

“Was there anyone who held you back from this dream?” he asked. She looked down, making it appear that she was trying to remember but Inuyasha knew it was to hide the hurt. In his opinion, the hurt she brought upon herself.

“No, there was no one. Everyone who loved me pushed me forward and held my hand through the hard parts,” she said. He turned the television off and tried his hardest not to throw the remote.

How dare she? Using those terms to say that he hadn't loved her. That he hadn't cared when she was the one who was clearly at fault for all of this. She left him, not the other way around.

Revenge, payback, anything would do. She deserved it… Not only did she break his heart, but she was placing the blame on him. On national television! Was she mad? Had she lost her good senses?

He ran up to his room, quickly devising sweet revenge for the lead singer of one of the most popular bands in the world. Ten foot tall.

 

Kagome, having been gone for two hours now, decided to go back home, to her grandfather's shrine. Her walk back was calm and quiet. All were sleeping and warm in bed, while she let the past consume her. Once she got home though, she laughed her ass off.

Slut. Whore. Bitch. Hoe. Worthless. Dumb ass. All written in red spray paint on the walls of her shrine. Cameras were flashing randomly and she rolled her eyes, ignoring all around her. Instead, she went in her house and got a bucket, soap, and a sponge and put it to work, anticipating the interview she was going to face.

 

“No I won't have the police search for them. They would be arresting an eight year old,” she said with a smirk.

“Did this bitch just call me a child?” Inuyasha yelled from his place on the couch.

“You're telling me that the one that did this to your house is a child?” the woman asked from her place across from Kagome.

“Figuratively speaking, yes,” she answered. She nodded her head and folded her hands neatly on her thighs.

“She knows it's me…” he said, watching on to see what else she had to say.

“How do you know it is who you think it is?” the woman asked. Inuyasha leaned in closer; as if the closer he was the better she would elaborate.

“Because their handwriting can't be mistaken,” she said with a light smile, not in the least agitated. She only awaited the next question, as did Inuyasha.

“Why aren't you the least bit agitated by any of this?” the woman asked. Inuyasha almost fell from his seat in anticipation of her answer. To his surprise, Kagome's eyes softened, as did her heart.

“I'm not the same person I once was. That shrine belonged to my grandfather, and after he died, this is the only piece I had of him, and I guarded it with all my heart,” she said. Inuyasha's heart stopped beating in his chest as he continued to listen.

“This person knew just how much it meant to me, and despite all that, they went out of their way to target the one thing they thought would break me for a while. That, in itself, proves how childish, and a waste of time they are. So I let it go,” she said. The audience applauded and she turned to them with a brief smile.

“Well that's it for today. Tune in tomorrow for a sit down with Kourtney Kardashian and baby Mason,” the woman said. The crowd was filled with claps as it faded out.

Inuyasha sat in complete silence. She'd dealt with it with a smile on her face and not a knick in her heart. She'd grown greatly from before. Her heart was big but beat silently… He could feel it in his chest, so he listened in, linking himself to her.

It was even. Nothing was special, or spectacular about it. It was simply even. He tuned out after five or so minutes of listening. Kikyo came into the living room. He hadn't given her much time to do anything, for he slammed his lips to hers, lifted her off her feet, and taken her back to his room.

 

“You okay kid?” Kagome asked as she stood in her brother's doorway. He was staring out the window in complete silence.

“Why did you trust him Kagome? What did he do to make you trust him? Why do you put up with him and let him hurt you?” the 14 year old asked. Kagome stood in her spot as a gust of wind blew the stray strands of hair that fell from her messy bun.

“Because love is blind Souta. I have to grow up and let go of the selfish and childish games and let myself move forward. I no longer wish to be stuck in the past,” she explained.

“You still love him,” he said and let a comfortable silence fall between them. She stared at him, but his eyes stayed locked on the outside.

“Somewhere, deep within my beating heart, yes, I do Souta. But I have you and myself to take care of. I don't have time to dwell on the past,” she said before walking away.

“Sis, he misses you, and as much as I'd hate to admit it, everything would be better if you two were back again,” he whispered to no one.

`Ignorance is your new best friend… Ignorance is your new best friend, and ignorance is your new best friend… Ignorance is your new best friend!'

Monday was back again, marking the beginning of yet another unwanted week of school. Ayame, the redhead and base guitarist of the band finally joined them in hell, prepared for one hectic weekend.

Inuyasha completely ignored Kagome. Never looking at her, and blocking her out entirely. She didn't care. She figured it was one less burden… Faying ignorance…
