1000 Kisses

Never, ever get into a relationship- or if you do make it purely sexual because falling in love will just screw you over in the end. When you're in a relationship you look at all your single friends and secretly feel pity for them. You wouldn't want to know what it was like to be alone, never having a person to tell your dreams to or to help you bake a lemon meringue pie. But when your significant other decides they've had enough of you- suddenly your single friend understands your plight. You avoid your other friends who are in a relationship. You want to sit down, cry and have a slice of misery pie. No one wants misery pie- I certainly don't. Misery pie tastes bitter. I once thought I'd never have to experience this cruel part of life- yet as I stare at the man across from me- the man I swore I would marry, it seems as if I would be having that big slice of misery pie tonight.

"You're breaking up with me?" He nods and crosses his arms. Bewilderment, mind anger, overbearing heartbreak- the feelings mesh into one and I try to reign in those awkward gut wrenching sobbing sounds. I don't cry, I don't tear up- I suck in my imaginary gut, flip my hair and pretend as if I'm not fazed at all. Except I am- I am completely fazed by this turn of events. One minute we were making mind blowing love and the next he's breaking up with me. Literally, as soon as we caught our breath he turned to me and said 'We should break up.' I had gotten up and moved across the room as if I was Usane Bolt at the Olympics. Fresh faced, my hair in a flurry of soft curls and wrapped in nothing but a cold bed sheet I felt imperfect next to the creature with the sheet slung low on his hips. Did he think I was so incredibly ugly he only stayed with me out of pity? Doubt it. Was he secretly regretting his words, would he crack and smile and say 'Just kidding, come over here my darling'? Yeah, right. Oh god, was this what I'd be doing now that I was... dumped? Spending time in bed having conversations with myself in my head, going over every action that led up to our breakup. Reminiscing over the good times, holding onto a framed picture of us and leaving him messages on his cell. I would wonder if him not picking up his phone during his meeting was some secret sign of his lack of commitment towards me. I really hope not.

The sad truth was that there weren't any signs.

I had been convinced we were doing great. Even if there had been signs I was too caught up in my happiness to see anything- I was blissfully unaware and I paid for it. Embarrassment tinged my cheeks red. He had used me for a quick bit of sex before kicking me to the curb.

"Well, we had fun but nothing last forever." He doesn't say a word, he only stares at me with those hooded, honey eyes and inside I am fuming. I want to make him feel as shitty as I do."I'm actually kind of glad you initiated this. For the past month or two, the chemistry really started to fizz away. I mean normally, you're really hot in bed but I've been having to, you know, fake it." His eyes flash. That's right, feel like the piece of shit you are baby. Let it all sink in. I cock my head to the side and give him a pitying smile. "I didn't want to hurt your feelings, men and their egos. But I'm so glad this worked out for all of us." Smiling at him genuinely, I am doing an inner jig. In reality it was all a complete lie. Sesshomaru was ridiculously agile and I had enjoyed myself many, many times. But- hey you got to go with what you got. Parts of my conscious screamed out, 'stop being a bitch, cry out to him and beg to have him take you back.' I swiftly buried those thoughts. One reason Sesshomaru and I had worked for as long as we did was because I stood up for myself and took action rather than just sit back and wait for someone to do it for me. I was ambitious and headstrong when I needed to be. I could be sweet and I could be cruel. Everything with him was a campaign and you had to have a swift tongue and an even swifter mind in order to get your point across. There wasn't time for tears- he rarely acknowledged them. I was too headstrong to go quietly into that good night. I clawed and spouted angry words. This was why we worked out so well. I balanced out his mean with my sweet and thought for myself rather than have him think for me. "Well I've got a business luncheon so after it I'll bring Sango round and we'll get packing. Tata." Wrapping the bed sheet tighter around my bare form, I sauntered out of the bedroom and into the bathroom.

Closing the door behind me, I turned on all sources of water. The shower, the tub, the sink, I even flushed the toilet. It was then that my paranoia over being heard was calmed and I allowed myself to tear up and cry. Letting the sheet drop to my feet, I stepped into the shower, enveloping myself in the warm embrace of the water. Question plagued my mind. Where would I move all my stuff? By what time could I have everything out? Where am I going to stay? What can I afford? What will mama say? What will everyone say? Running my hands through my hair, I sighed. I could only have a few more seconds of solitude before I would have to get dressed. I needed to pull myself together, falling apart and crying into my caesar salad would not be good for business. What's your motto Kagome?

Business now. Worries later. Revenge soon. Yes, yes. Turning off the water, I stepped out of my sanctuary, wrapped a lilac towel around me and walked back into the bedroom, oblivious to the heart breaking ass who was staring a hole in the back of my head. Slipping on underwear, I dropped the towel around. Who would've thought we would have been so nonchalant about this whole thing?

"I get the cat." Fuck no. Whirling around, I forgot about the lack of a bra. I felt his slimy eyes all over me. Shrieking, I quickly picked up the towel and shielded myself. "It's nothing I haven't seen before."

"Oh hell no"I shouted. Buyo came with me and he was leaving with me. "Buyo is mine. You don't even really like him. And you lost your right to see me naked. End of story." Huffing, I ignored his spine tingling inducing chuckle and silently finished dressing. Grabbing my bag and keys, I left, leaving the door unlocked, hoping by the time I got back home Sesshomaru would be brutally beaten. Walking out of the front door, ignoring Naraku, the freaky doorman I made my way to my car- knowing, just knowing Sango would die when she heard the news. It was just my day.

"He broke up with me." The absolute silence from Sango was worrying- because sooner or later I knew she would blow. Whether it was a week from now or in another 10 minutes. It would happen. She looked at me- eyes wide, before a sneer settled on her pretty face.

"Where is the bastard!? I'll kill him I swear." Sango shouted, banging the fork in her hand on the table with a ringing slam. Paying no attention to the business associates sitting with us, she turned to me with a crazed look in his eyes and hissed. "Tell me everything so when I go skewer his ass on this fork, I can recite the words he said back to him." Fire in her eyes, Miroku stroked her hand lovingly-trying to calm her down. But nothing helped. "Why aren't you doing anything? If I were you, I would have chopped off his cajones and deep fried them before feeding them to Buyo." She hissed, not once regarding the others at the table and how terrified they seemed to be. Turning to the other people at the table, I sent them a curt smile before engaging them in polite small talk. When the mood at the table had lightened and the liquor kicked in, I turned by to Sango, who was still fuming.

"What was I supposed to do Sango? Sesshomaru wouldn't have listened, he'd think I was jealous and bitter. I told him how he sucked in bed and I was glad we broke up because faking it was getting tiring but that was it. I had this luncheon and I wasn't going to waste my time fighting with him." I replied, sticking my fork in a particularly scrumptious piece of chicken breast.

"Well that's something but it's not enough." I could see the wheels in Sango's head turning and I knew what she was thinking was in no way, shape or form good. Turning back to my caesar salad, I ignored the maniacal laughter and started going over proceedings and negotiations. It was going to be a long day.

Well I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be trying to post new chapters soon, so watch out. Bye!
