So...well I got on quick now, after reading some nice reviews and here is the dramatic ending...

Three days after...
Everyday was a step of torture. Every class, every night, everyday was filled with thoughts about Inuyasha. She began to hate him, but she knew she couldn't possibly.
What had she done to him? She thought about how he suddenly started hanging out with his friends more often than normal.
Perhaps he was gay now?
And didn't have the guts to tell her?
She was walking in the halls to get to English, her head down, legs fast, and dodging every human body. She quickly swerved around some girl and her narrow range of view bumped her into another person.
She looked to say 'Sorry', but her voice cracked when she saw Inuyasha's face. She looked down, and walked past him.
She didn't look back.
Inuyasha was still recovering from the eyes that Kikyou had given him. The look wasn't exactly hatred, or sadness. It was almost a neutral look but Inuyasha had caught a second of something else.
Was it disgust?
Maybe his friends were right.
Kikyou was dumping him over a cup of hot chocolate.
Amazing.
But it couldn't have just been hot chocolate. It could have been the time he pushed her down and sprained her ankle. It could have been the time he was over-kissing her. Maybe she thought he was using her. Maybe she was having an affair with someone else. Maybe it was because she never did like him.
Inuyasha had to know.
He felt like talking to her. But no man had the guts to ask their girlfriend if she dumped him yet or not. But he needed to talk to her. Any way now would be okay. He could write a note. But that idea was sounding stupider by the minute.
He stared over at one of the girls he had seen talking to Kikyou once before.
Of course, just ask someone else. What other easier way was there? What other possible method could he use other than asking one of her friends. She had ought to tell something to her friends, right?
But what exactly should he start the conversation with? With a 'hi' or an interesting question that would eventually lead to Kikyou. Or should he just pretend he was doing a survery, 'realize' that she was Kikyou's friend, and then ask? Or should he just let it go, because her friend just might hate him as well? Should he even bump into her to start the talking?
Inuyasha watched as his chance of communication passed as he walked right past Kikyou's friend.
But he looked back and caught up with her.
"You're Kikyou's friend, correct?" he asked suddenly. He immediately knew he made a bad mistake. He shouldn't have just asked directly.
"Yeah why?" she said, scanning him in the same manner Kikyou had done when she bumped into him.
Disgust.
"Is she...okay?"
"Yeah, except for the fact that you dumped her," the friend spat disgustedly, and quickly walked off.
Shit, he thought dejectedly. Now the whole school was against him.
Her friend said that he had dumped her. Inuyasha in no way had dumped Kikyou. How...?
How did this happen?
Kikyou was pondering on thoughts when a note paper flied on her desk.
Quickly, she picked it up and opened it.
"I bumped into him on the way here," it wrote. "He asked if you were okay and asked like he was innocent or something. I told him that you were okay, except that he dumped you, and I walked off. Showed him right?"
Kikyou could replay the scene in her head, and say Inuyasha's anguished face when her friend would say that.
Acting innocent...
Kikyou crumpled up the paper and threw it to the garbage from her seat, and watched as the ball of paper made it straight into the garbage.
Inuyasha suddenly understood what had happened. She thought he had dumped her somehow, when he thought that she had dumped him over some hot cocoa.
But that couldn't be it. How had she got the fact that he had 'dumped' her?
Why?
He stared at his history teacher writing stuff on the board, not really thinking about anything.
Only thinking about the past.
And in conclusion...
Although both knew that neither had dumped them, they had no intention of speaking to each other ever again. And as the fact of dumping really did seem to be true to the rest of the school, that strengthened the wall between them even more.
And so commence the act of evanescence.
I know that was an abrupt ending but it had to be that way okay?
I'm not so sure about a sequel but I'll think about it.
Thanks to all reviewers and hope to see you around some other time, readers.
