DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN "Inuyasha" or its Franchise in anyway. I just write the stories folks...
Chapter One: Standing for the Lasting Time
Kagome drug her sore body into her one bedroom apartment that she shared with her boyfriend of three years. She flopped herself on their leather couch and closed her brown eyes. As she felt herself begin to fall asleep, the sound of giggling reached her delicate ears. Her eyes shot open when she realized whose voice it was.
Swallowing hard as she gingerly crept up to her bedroom door and peeking through the crack her world shattered while her heart dropped 500 feet. There on THEIR bed lay HER fiance with his ex-girlfriend of five years, Kikyo. Tears wheeled in her eyes and it was at that moment Inuyasha caught her scent and froze. Turning quickly, he immediately jumped off his little lover.
"Ka…Kagome…-" She turned away and he chased her.
"Wait I can ex…-" She cut him off with a hard slapped to the face.
"Do NOT speak to me! All these years Inuyasha? I loved you, moved here for you, and gave up everything for you! I'M DONE!" She turned away and continued to make her way toward the door.
"Kagome I love you, I -"
"NO INUYASHA, YOU DON'T! LOVE DOES NOT LEAVE YOU HANGING ON A THREAD. I CAUGHT YOU WITH MY OWN EYES." Kagome tried to hold herself together.
"There is …nothing… you can say Inuyasha. Nothing…"
She moved towards the door and roughly twisted the knob.
"Tell me something. I've heard rumors that she's pregnant. Are they true? Is it yours?" His face turned puzzled.
He looked back at Kikyo whose face was turned away.
"….Fuck…" He mumbled under his breath dropping his head to the ground.
Kagome shook her head as a single tear slid down her face.
"Well…I wish you both a long and happy life." With that she slammed the door hard and walked out of their complex.
Kouga cursed under his breath at the amount of rain that poured down. It was almost impossible to see anything in this weather. He stopped at the light, when he noticed a very small and slender frame strolling briskly across his path.
"Damn…Who is that?" He stared at her and could not seem to figure out why she was walking in such bad weather. As the light turned green, he rolled down the window and pulled his car off to the side.
"Umm…Excuse me Miss. I know you can take care of yourself but why are you walking in the rain?"
Kagome said nothing nor made any reaction what would indicate that she even heard him.
He parked his car at the first spot he could find, hopped out of his red green mustang and proceeded to follow her.
"Miss I…-"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Kouga almost jumped back ten feet.
"WHOA! RELAX! I'm only trying to help out!" His face softened when she burst into tears.
"Miss are you alright?" She shook her head.
"NO! My…boyfriend….I…..I can't believe HIM!" She covered her face and sobbed into her hands. "MEN ARE NOTHING BUT PIGS AND LAIRS!"
Kouga didn't know what to say.
"Well…you can't be walking out here in this weather, not to mention alone. Do you have any place you could go?" She smirked.
"I lived with the creep. Living in this city I didn't need a car, and my mother's home is two towns over. To be honest though, I don't have a destination nor am I thinking of one. I just…-" She continued to cry harder.
Kouga's heart sank deep. In all good conscious, he could NOT just leave her here.
"Uh...Tell ya what. How's about I treat you to dinner. No strings attached."
Kagome stood quiet for a moment before reluctantly nodding. Kouga gave a small smile as they walked back to his car.
