The room was dead silent and Inuyasha felt like he was neck deep in trouble. Ah, shit. He was officially going to regret this decision the second Kagome decides to wake up. Her body rolled over on Miroku's spare bed and Inuyasha's body tensed. Maybe he shouldn't even be in the room, but he couldn't, he refused to leave her after what happened with that son of a bitch, Kouga.
Maybe he should back up a bit... When he arrived at the party, his focus was to get as much alcohol in him until he was plastered and then hook up with the easiest girl he could find. Anything to get his mind off of that damn girl. He thought about texting drunk chick, but he didn't feel like that was the smartest choice either. Clearly, he couldn't keep himself attempting to find out who she was. And clearly something was happening between them. He was just so fucking confused.
When he slipped out of his car, he was ready to make a b-line to the front door. He'd see Miroku, find the drinks, and find a girl. Plain and simple. His plan felt fool proof until out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kagome by the side of the house. Shit. What the hell was she doing at a party? From what he remembered, he never saw her at any of them in high school. Usually, if he ever saw her outside of school or tea stuff, she was with that Hobo guy.
Whatever, she could do what she wanted. Her being there wasn't going to stop him. If anything it'd make him drink more. As he walked faster, he caught another person in the corner of his eye and he was moving towards the front. Wait a minute. It was that Kouga guy from history. He'd remembered how badly he reeked. His cologne was awful.
He fought to ignore whatever they were doing because really, what was he going to do? Kagome was allowed to have a life that didn't include Inuyasha messing with her. He was about to step inside, he really was, but when he glanced back, Kagome's face looked pale and the stinker seemed to be dragging her.
For fuck's sake.
Inuyasha raced over. "Hey!" He sneered at the dude before grabbing his wrist.
"Inu-" he heard Kagome's faint voice struggling to say his name. This son of a bitch was going down.
"Watch it man!" Kouga snapped his hand away from Inuyasha and he went from furious to deadly. His lip twitched into an evil smirk. His knuckles cracked before gritting his teeth.
"You wanna say that again?!" He asked and with full force, slammed his fist against the good for nothing's nose. A satisfying crack broke out from under his fist. Blood gushed from Kouga's nose and his hand let go of Kagome to nurse his nose.
Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome by the shirt and brought her into his arms, the back of her head rested against his chest.
"Holy shit man! You're fucking nuts!" Kouga cried out and other people gasped from around the party. Inuyasha nearly growled at the piece of shit, as he stepped forward.
"Get out!" He told him and Kouga stubbornly stomped away with his hands pressed over his face to keep from bleeding.
Inuyasha glanced down at the passed out Kagome. What the hell was she thinking? He thought before pulling her up and cradling in his arms. He needed to get her to somewhere comfortable. People began to swarm around him, asking to help. What he really needed was for people to stop crowding her.
"I've got her," he sternly informed people and headed inside. There was silence when other party goers saw the scene of Inuyasha with an unconscious girl in his arms. Mentally rolling his eyes, he shoved through until he found Miroku who dropped his cup, spilling the content of it onto the counter and floor in the kitchen.
"Holy shit, man."
"I didn't do it, some shit head from my history class did. Can I use your spare room to lay her-"
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" Sango shouted, her brows knitted together as she rushed to Kagome. Concern and anger raced through her eyes and she reached for her friends, which caused Inuyasha snap.
"I didn't fucking do it. Some guy drugged her and she needs to lay down until the effects wear off," He snapped at her and that didn't settle well with Sango whatsoever. Her arms crossed.
"Haven't you done enough?! You're the last person she wants to see!" Sango growled and Miroku hesitantly drew his hand on her shoulder. Inuyasha was closer to Miroku than he would admit to people and he knew his complicated past with Kagome. Cautiously, Miroku whispered into Sango's ear. Her eyes flicked from side to side as she took in what he was telling her. She turned to him, a reply of disagreement. "She's my best friend," Inuyasha heard her sputter. Groaning, she whipped her head back to Inuyasha. "If something happens to her, I'm coming after your ass."
He should have smiled, but he did. "I'd expect nothing less," he replied before moving away with the limped Kagome in his arms. He creaked up the stairs until he found the door to the spare. Carefully, he laid her down. How could she have been so stupid? It literally felt like someone was trowing knives through his chest and he dead set against feeling like that.
Like he said before, it was incredibly easier to watch Kagome get angry.
Time passed quickly as he watched over her toxin infused body, which brought him back to the present time. Her body stirred. Inuyasha was sat against the bought of the bed on the floor. He had no idea what the douche gave to her, but he had a good idea it was some date rape drug that just made people pass out. A soft groan escaped the girl, her brows furrowed with grogginess.
Staying still, he watched as her begin to open her eyes. She blinked into consciousness and for a moment, her face was blank like she'd woken up in her own home. The next second, panic consumed her and she jerked up, ready to fly off the bed.
"Whoa! I wouldn't get up so quickly," Inuyasha rushed to her, his hands up and ready to keep her from getting up right away.
Yeah, that was a mistake.
"Inuyasha!" She screamed before finding a pillow and throwing it at him. "Oh my Kami!" She cried out, her chest pumped in and out as her breath became rapid. "What are you doing!? Where am I?! Why am I in this bed?!" She panicked and felt her body for clothes.
"Kami, woman, calm down," he said while holding the pillow to shield himself from her.
"I will not calm down! Where am I, Inuyasha?! Is this some kind of cruel joke? Do you think this is funny?! Inuyasha, I swear-"
The boy couldn't take it anymore and his hand covered her mouth.
"Take a deep fucking breath, sweetheart. I didn't do anything. You're in Miroku's house and you should be thanking me for saving your ass." His eyes searched hers with as much seriousness as he could muster. To be honest, he was just thankful he could breath again because she was awake.
However, He took it back as she bit his finger. He flinched his hand off her mouth and held the indented finger in his other hand.
"Ow! What the hell wench!"
"Don't ever shut me up like that again!"
"How about a thank you for saving you from that creep?!"
Her lips were pressed together in a tight line like she was thinking his words over. Her glare wasn't going away. She crossed her arms and turned the other away. If this woman was going to be that stubborn with him, he was gonna walk out right then and there.
"Thank you," it was barely a mumble, but Inuyasha had efficient hearing.
"I didn't hear you," he lied, a small smile crept up on his mouth as he stepped closer to her and cupped his ear.
"Don't be a jerk!" She yelled at him.
"Hey! I wasn't the one being a fucking idiot and accepting drinks from dudes I barely know. Besides, what the hell were you doing with that guy?! Aren't you with Hobo or something? You shouldn't even be here at this party!" Everything came out as horrible word vomit. He couldn't control himself.
Suddenly, her glare dropped, eyes glued to the bed. Oh shit. What did he say? Usually she had an insult at hand and ready to fire at him. She just looked sad.
"We broke up," she murmured beneath her breath. Her fingers grasped the comforter on the bed. One heartbeat later, Inuyasha slid himself on the bed beside her. Her head shook while her hand came up to rub away moisture in her eyes. Shit. He hated this.
He hated seeing any girl cry, but watching Kagome doing it was like another thousand knives stabbing his chest.
"When did that happen?" He asked, truly surprised by the news.
"Like three weeks ago."
Time stopped. Three weeks ago they broke up, which was right around the time he met...No.
"I've been trying to get my mind off him so I haven't exactly been myself," she continued and laughed dryly as she said the next part. "I even got drunk the night after he broke it off with me."
He felt frozen. He wanted to reject what she was saying. This was a huge coincidence and he had to believe that. It adds up though. There's no denying that everything he's learned about text girl has had to do with Kagome. Swallowing, he turned to stare at her. What the hell did he do now? He knew he needed to be certain that she was who he thought she was. He needed some kind of real solid evidence.
"Sorry, I don't know why I'm-" Kagome began again until she looked up and saw Inuyasha staring at her like she'd grown a pair of dog ears. "Why are you looking at me like that?" He wasn't letting up and it felt like he was moving closer to her. Heat flourished over her cheeks. A voice inside her mind reminded her who she was with and her hands came out to push him away with a hard shove. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" She squeaked and held onto fists fulls of blanket for her dear life.
Inuyasha was thrown backward until he was on his back. Swiftly, he pulled himself back up, annoyance scattered across his face. The girls he hooked up with never did that kind of thing. He had to remember, however, that this girl was Kagome and she wasn't like anyone else. She was her own person.
"What was that for?!"
"You're acting so weird!" She yelled, attempting to hide her face.
"I am not!"
"You are!"
"Am not!"
"Argh! You are and I need to go back to my dorm," she ended their spat while patting her pocket around for her phone. Sliding her thumb over the screen, she saw that it was 3am and gasped.
"I''ll drive you back," he offered.
"See?!" Kagome replied with haste, extended her hand out in a gesture to make a point. "You are acting weird! When have you ever been nice to me? I don't even understand why you saved me!"
Inuyasha was in a rut as she dealt with this phenomenon that was him. What was he supposed to tell her? Oh hey, by the way I'm pretty sure I've been texting you for three weeks and for the last four years, I've been a jerk to you on purpose so I wouldn't have to do deal with actual feelings for you?
Yeah, that wasn't about to happen any time soon.
"I'm not heartless, Kagome," he told her as he found his keys on the nightstand. He swiped them into his hands and began walking towards the door. "Come on, I'm pretty sure you don't want stay here for the night while Sango and Miroku go at it in his room," he said and waited until Kagome stubbornly followed after him. Things got silent, like, awkward silent.
The entire car ride was full of stares. Specifcally, Kagome staring and glaring at Inuyasha. He had to bite his tongue before he said something he would regret later. The only thing that was really on his mind was that Kagome was probably text girl. This was going to mess him up. Did he keep texting her at all? Maybe he shouldn't. She'd forget about him...eventually. It's not like they were a thing either.
When he dropped her off, he kept quiet.
"So, no explanation at all? Why you're suddenly being a decent human being?" Kagome asked before she got out of the car. Inuyasha just shook his head in a slow motion. What he needed was time to think about what his plan was. Acting on impulse would only do him harm.
"Fine, bye."
Kagome slammed the door and Inuyasha drove off back to his own dorm. Shit.
Suddenly his phone buzzed as he pulled into his own dorm building that was a few blocks away from Kagome's.
I really need to talk to you.
The text read from Kagome and it felt weird to know. It had to be her. There was no other explanation. What was he going to do?
Well, he knew one thing was for sure. He wasn't going to let that bastard from history touch her ever again.
