Sick of You by pclark
Suspicions
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the music in this fic. Selena Gomez and The Scene owns all music.
AN: A request by the real pclark, in other words my mom. lol. As well as my youngest sibling who believes that she will marry Sesshomaru, she is 6.
Kagome blinked back tears. The tears weren't out of sadness but out of sheer anger and humility. But anger was the stronger of the two. She had a few suspicions about what had been occurring behind her back, it hurt, but it hurt more when she had seen it with her own two eyes.
She wasn't going to cry though. She was done with him forever. Crying would have him believing that she was vulnerable enough to accept him back in her life after what he had done. She wouldn't ever. She loved him and always would but she wasn't IN love with him. She could see that now. They had merely been comfortable with each other, nothing more. But, he could have atleast told her he wanted to pursue someone else instead of sneaking around and her finding out the way she had.
So instead of making a fool out of herself by getting into a fight with him, she decided to do it her own unique way. Through her music and now as she was going on stage, she was going to give him a performance he was never going to forget and a break-up to remember.
( ** A Month Before ** )
It was the end of the day at Tokyo High and Kagome was scanning the Battle of the Bands sign-up roster for an empty slot. She read her competition as she did. She was pleased that it was going to be a close competition for the Prom. But as she had always thought, it wasn't a fair win if your competition wasn't as talented or more talented than yourself. This was going to be close though. The Ookami, Seven, Dark Miko, Thunder Brothers; it was going to be tight with her own band, Jewels, playing as well.
If she were to be honest with herself, she didn't believe that her own band could win but they were going to try. She was sure that if any of them won it would be Seven. They had an unique rock sound that was all thier own. Very special was she could think about them. Her band had a special sound but it wasn't like theirs. The other bands as well had a sound that was all their own. Still they were all amazing, even her cousin Kikyos' band, Dark Miko. It was more of an eigthies punk goth sound with a little modern pop and emo twist.
They could still lose to them. At that thought she almost put her pen away and not sign. Even Inuyasha had thought Kikyo's sound was better than her own. That spurned her into slashing her bands name across the bottom line. She was going to enter the competition just to prove to Inuyasha that her sound was just as good, if not possibly better, than Kikyo's. It wouldn't happen for a few more days so it gave her and her band plenty of time to practice.
Now she just needed to call up Sango and the rest of Jewels and tell them what she had done. They were really going to be surprised. But she would wait a little though, Sango and Miroku were out buying their prom clothes. She wasn't going to ruin the evening for them by calling. Sango would call her as soon as she was done making a choice so she would wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango would have called Kagome the moment she had picked her perfect prom dress but she didn't. She was stunned at what she had just seen. She and Miroku had just made their purchases and were making their way to the food court when she had caught a flash of silver. She only knew a handful of demons or hanyous that had silver hair. Immediately she had thought that it was Inuyasha and that Kagome would be with him. Oh how wrong she was!
It was Inuyasha alright but it wasn't Kagome, his girlfriend, that was with him. No! It was her cousin Kikyo and he was lip locked with her, hands moving to inappropriate places and they were at changing stalls for prom dresses. So instead of taking Kagome prom shopping like he had promised to, he was taking Kikyo while he was still dating Kagome. The two-timing creep! If Miroku hadn't put a hand on her arm she would have beat him over the head with her bags. Instead she stayed by him as he filmed it all on his cellphone from behind some plants.
There was no way they could tell Kagome without any proof to back it up. She wouldn't believe it otherwise. When they were going to show her, they would have to discuss amongst each other and include a few of their friends to decide the course of action to take. They loved Kagome so much and didn't want her to get hurt.
A sales lady made an appearance and made a comment about their behavior. Kikyo returned to the stalls and Inuyasha was apologizing all over himself for their behavior. When the lady was gone, they decided to split with the little evidence they had. It may have been a little bit but it was enough to make an impact. They sincerely hoped Kagome wouldn't be too put off by the news.

"RING RING RING"
The hall phone rang shrillfully in the Higurashi household. Kagome skipped to the phone and answered. She just knew that it was Sango and she was right.
"Moshi Moshi!" Kagome said.
"Hey, Kag, I got my dress! It is beautiful!" Sango said to her.
Kagome beamed. She was in a good mood and didn't even notice that Sango was using an exaggerated happy voice.
"What color?" she asked.
"Black and pink. My signature colors you know." Sango answered.
"Of course. Did Miroku get something to match?" she said.
"Yes. He will be wearing a black suit with a pink vest and tie." Sango responded.
"Aww, that is so cute! I want Inuyasha and me to match." Kagome mused.
Sango immediately shut down. Her end going very silent. Kagome wrinkled her brow and looked at the phone then calling Sango's name. She had an uneasiness in her stomach.
"Sango? Sango?" she called.
"I'm still here. Um, hey, I'll call you later ok? I have that last English paper to work on." Sango said.
"Ok, yeah, before I forget. I signed us up for the Battle of the Bands." Kagome said.
"You did! But we're not ready for something like that!" Sango gasped.
"We so are and you know it. We will have plenty of time to practice for it." Kagome said confidently.
"Ok, have you told the others?" Sango asked.
"Not yet. I wanted to tell you first. I need to call them." Kagome said.
"Sure, you call them and I'll finish my paper. Bye!" Sango said.
"Bye, Sango." Kagome said and then hung up the phone.
Kagome stared at the phone for several minutes. There was something odd, she could feel it. She shrugged her shoulders, it must be jitters about the Battle of the Bands. Yeah that was it, she convinced herself. She picked up the phone again. She needed to talk to Inuyasha, they had to discuss their prom clothes.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up. A sensual male voice answered the phone. It was Inuyashas' brother, Sesshomaru. Kagome quivered as she heard his voice. She was with Inuyasha yet it was his brother that got her nerves in a bunch and her blood burning in her veins.
"Hey, Sesse." she greeted.
"Kagome, it is nice to hear from you." he said, his voice dropping an octave.
She shivered and shook her head to clear it. Everytime they spoke or was in his presence, he had this drugging effect on her that made it hard for her to speak.
"Um, could I speak to Inuyasha?" she asked, "I need to know what colors he would like to wear for prom."
There was silence on his end for just a few seconds and then he answered her. She wasn't happy with his answer either.
"No, he isn't here. He's at the mall." he explained.
"Oh, ok. I guess I'll let you go. Bye." she said, a frown on her brow.
"Good-bye, Kagome." he said and sent more shivers down her spine.
Kagome glared at the wall in front of her as she set the phone down. He was supposed to be at home. He told her that he was going to be at home, playing with a new game he had gotten. He lied to her! She shook her head. She shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the game didn't work and he had went to get a refund. Maybe. She picked up her cell phone and sent him a text.
She asked him what he was doing. It was just a few minutes before she recieved a text back. He told her he was sitting at home, working on his English paper. She told him ok and that she would let him finish it. He didn't send anything back to her.
Minutes passed and Kagome kept going over what had happened. He lied to her, not just once but twice in the same day. What was going on that he had to lie to her? They shared everything. So what else has he lied to her about? How many times has he lied to her? She frowned and went to her room, she had a lot of thinking to do about their relationship. There was definately something up.
AN: Lalalala La Di Do Dah! It's done, the first chapter!
