The Never Ending War by Aliciabear

Chapter 1

Kagome slowly opened her eyes as the sun shone through her bedroom window. She turned to her left and was disappointed to still see Inuyasha in bed next to her. She slid out of bed and threw on her pajamas. It had been a wild night in the Higurashi mansion. She wasn’t sure what happened after the very intoxicated Inuyasha started hitting on her. She wasn’t one to sleep with just any random person and even though she had broken it off with him, she never turned down a good lay.

As she opened her bedroom door Sango and Miroku greeted her on their way to the kitchen.

“Morning Kagome! Everyone just left. You hungry? Miroku was going to make lunch.”

Kagome shrugged and pointed her thumb over her shoulder.

“Inuyasha needs to leave before I kick him out myself.”

Miroku looked over Kagome’s shoulder and reached for the door.

“He should be waking up soon. Might as well close the door before he does.”

Kagome sighed and walked to the kitchen table. She looked at the clock as she sat down and sighed. It was already one o’clock and Inuyasha still had not left. She started to twirl a strand of her hair around her finger when someone knocked on the door.

“The door is open Come on in!”

Kagome leaned to the side as Sesshomaru and Koga walked through the door. She smiled at the men as they walked into the kitchen. She had been with Koga once or twice until she had found out about his fiancé. He never did give up no matter what she did. Sesshomaru on the other hand had never shown interest in being anything but her friend. She was fine with that.

“Where is my brother? We have things to do today.”

Kagome pointed to her bedroom door as it opened. Inuyasha stepped out shirtless.

“What are two doing here?”

Koga covered his mouth to hold in his laugh as Sesshomaru shook his head.

“So you forgot that your wedding is in two days or something mutt face?”

Kagome looked at Sango a little confused. Sango shrugged her shoulders.

“What are they talking about? What wedding?”

Inuyasha’s ears flattened to the top of his head.

“I didn’t want to tell you this Kagome. My wedding. They are talking about my wedding.

 I’m going to marry Kikyo in two days.”

Kagome felt like she couldn’t breathe. She wasn’t with Inuyasha anymore but he told her he would always be hers. He knew her secret. He told her he would always be there when she needed her little fix. He promised that she would never have to fight the pain by herself. She was so confused and hurt. It took everything in her being not to cry.

Miroku grabbed Sango by her arm.

“Let’s go out to eat. Inuyasha has some explaining to do.”

Sango looked at Kagome as she nodded. She sighed and followed Miroku out the front door.

Inuyasha tried to approach Kagome but she put her hand up before he could take three steps.

“Who do you think I am Inuyasha? Did you think I would never find out?”

Inuyasha hung his head. He couldn’t speak for he knew he had hurt Kagome more than anyone else ever had. Koga patted him on the back and lead him to the front door.

“You coming Sesshomaru? Or do you need some time to talk to Kagome?”

Sesshomaru waved his hand and sat at the kitchen table. As Koga walked out the door with Inuyasha Kagome let the tears run down her face.

“How could he do this to me?!”

“I am sorry Kagome. If I would have known he did not tell you I would have told you myself. Please, forgive me Kagome.”

Kagome shook her head and wiped the tears from her face.

“It’s not your fault. It’s all Inuyasha’s fault.”

“Do you need me to stay with you for a while?”

Kagome shook her head again.

“No I will be fine. You go and make sure he knows I’m angry.”

Sesshomaru smiled as he got up from the table.

“If you need me you call me. I don’t care where I am or what I’m doing.”

Kagome nodded and smiled as she watched him walk out the door. She waited until she heard the car drive off. After she couldn’t hear it anymore she ran to her bedroom. As soon as she shut the door she quickly dug through her jewelry box till she found her razor blade. She hadn’t cut herself since Inuyasha had been in her life. But now she really needed it.

“Make it go away.”

She put the razor to her wrist, put a little pressure down onto it, and moved it ever so carefully. Her eyes rolled back as the pain shot through her. She missed this high and there was no way Inuyasha could stop her this time.
