Inuyasha Fic: One Drunk Text

Chapter Fifteen

            Inuyasha filled the tank in his car. It stopped raining. His mind was scattered. What was he supposed to do? Kagome wanted to see Serial Killer and he planned for her to meet him. Still, some stupid voice inside him said that if he made this one date amazing enough, she wouldn't want to see him. They'd move on and maybe someday, she'd forget about Serial Killer.

Then that fucking alarm fired went off during a good moment. Damn it. Why did she have to be so on time to shit? Ugh. Whatever.

On his way to drive her home he decided he'd let Serial Killer blow her off. Yeah, it was going to hurt like hell to watch her get rejected, but if he wanted them to have a clean slate, it was something that had to be done.

He was so prepared to do it too. He was ready to distract Kagome from his alter ego. It was selfish, he knew, but damn if he wasn't going to do anything in order to keep Kagome by his side.

When he opened the door to the car and became worried about the look she wore. Then he saw his phone in her hands. He saw the look in her eyes as her face fell. He saw the mistrust and betrayal.

"What the hell does this mean?" Kagome sounded like a low boil, ready to rapidly burn whatever got in her pot.

"Kagome, I, it's-"

"You aren't him, you can't be him." She stared down at the phone in her hands, shaking her head.

Fuck.

Inuyasha reached for her as he settled into the drivers seat. Kagome jerked and slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me." So Inuyasha retreated, he let her thoughts sink in. Damn it. What the hell did he say?

"Was this some sort of joke to you? Some game to mess with me?"

Inuyasha shook his head, frustrated that she would even think that of him. "I'm not that kind of person, Kagome."

"Oh really, what kind of person are you then? Some one who lies? Pretends to be someone they're not?" She was furious. All she wanted to do was run out of the car now. Anything to get away from him.

"No, fuck, Kagome!" He hated the way she was burning into him. It brought back all his old aggression he dealt with in high school while he stayed away from her. She couldn't possibly think he was trying to hurt her. Did he anything he ever said to her, texted her sound like that was his objective? For fucks sake, Kagome was ready to meet someone who she thought was someone else.

"I don't think you're one to talk." He sneered.

"Excuse me? I'm not in the wrong here."

"What were going to do Kagome? Huh? Explain this to me. You kiss me, admit you like me and then decide to go see another guy tonight?"

"It was you, Inuyasha! The other guy was you!"

"And you didn't know that! Did you think that was alright Kagome? To go see some guy, knowing how I feel about you and how you said you felt today."

Kagome stops speaking, heart pounding, head woozy from this sudden bombshell dropped into her hands. It's not fair for him to pin this on her. It's not. And yet, it's like her heart is being ripped apart by guilt and betrayal all at once.

"I'm leaving."

"You're what? No, Kagome, that's not what's happening."

She's already reaching for the door handle when he grasps her wrist. Her head is turned, eyes focused outside the window. "Let me go."
