Sudden Realization by Raven Flame

To die at that moment

"You're so slow at doing things!" said a very angry man. His voice was sore from all his yelling.

"You should act more accurately..." He corrected her.

"... you should be wiser and more alert like Kikyou."

'That's enough!' she was really burning with rage at all his complaining. While she worked, he only complains at how slow she was. She stood up from her chair where she was doing their work at business and stuff. Then she faced him and took a deep breath.

"At least I'm COOPERATING not like YOU who just shouts at me FOR BEING SLOW!" said a very pissed Kagome. She put all her anger at one sentence. And then she calmed down for a bit.

"..."

"Cat got your tongue, Inu yasha?" Kagome teased, all her rage was replaced by a smirk.

"Hey! You're-"

"I'm going now... I presume to see you tomorrow with a helpful hand" she cut through his sentence while making a dash for the door leaving a very stunned Inu yasha.

She knocked many people while dashing outside of the building. Mumbling many apologies to them. While the people she knocked were too lazy to even realize that they were knocked over.

It was quite a day for her. Earlier during lunch, their boss said that if they do not pass their report immediately... well... they were going to have to find another job.

'I really hate him! If we do not finish our project quickly we'll really lose our job. Why did I have to be stuck with him at work. He's so obsessed with being with his girlfriend that he doesn't cooperate... if only he realize I love him... wait! Did I just think of that? I'm so stupid... of course that can't happen he has Kikyou...' she frowned. 'It's not a bad idea... I mean Inu yasha and me and next day is wedding...' She suddenly came to a stop, her eyes widened with realization at what she just thought. 'Stupid me!' she thought over and over again, not allowing her mind to think about her and Inu yasha.

The wind blew around her while she was walking down the busy roads of the city.

"Kagome..."

"Huh?" She looked over her shoulder and noticed that she walked past her best friend. "Oh Sesshoumaru! I'm just thinking about the jerk." She said a bit sorry for not noticing him earlier. He caught up and stood beside her.

"You mean Inu yasha? My stupid half brother is not worth occupying your mind" he said a-matter-of-factly.

"Yeah I guess you're right and more right on the stupid part." She said even though she felt a pain build inside her.

"But you love him" he teased her.

She stopped walking and stared straightly at him.

"What did you say?" shock etched in her eyes.

"It's true right?." his face calm.

"NO!" she replied quickly.

'sure I believe you, like it's not obvious.' He ignored her and continued walking.

Silence engulfed them for a few minutes of walking towards Kagome's home. Lost in their own thoughts until she finally spoke.

"Hey are you coming home with me? Mother is cooking oden tonight. Want some?." She said as if nothing happened earlier.

His mind was clouded with thoughts then suddenly came to a halt. "No I guess I better head home. I'd better check the stupid idiot if he's doing something to break things in our house. Father's gonna blame it on me. I guess I'd see you tomorrow, ok?."

"Sure if that's what you want. See you..." she flinched when he mentioned Inu yasha. 'Inu yasha... What the? I'm thinking about him again'.

"Good night"

"You too!"

He quickly turned around and started walking around the corner, never looking back, afraid that she might notice something written in his face.

~*~*~*~

'Wow! oden's the best especially with mom cooking it.' She thought while remembering how the oden tasted.

rring... rrinng...

'The phone's ringing! It might be Inu yasha... here we go again with my stupid mind'

"Higurashi residence, Kagome speaking"

"Kagome you'll never believe what I heard!" 'Why would it be Inu yasha, He would be calling Kikyou not me.'

"Oh Sango what is it?" Sango is working with her in the same job though her business partner is a lecher named Miroku. Both of them are really friendly and are always there for you. They also count as her best friends. The five of them (Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Sango, Miroku and Inu yasha) grew in the same school although the 'jerk' is not a part of they're group for some 'super annoying reasons'. Even though Sesshoumaru being in his cold demeanor and Miroku being a lecher they are still the greatest of greatest (including Sango).

"It's about Inu yasha-"

"Don't ruin my day any further Sango. If it's us getting kicked out of job then no thanks. I'll just go with my sleep" 'Or it might be that he dumped Kikyou and turned to me and I hope it is'

"I'm sorry if this will hurt you but this is not about you losing a job"

"Then what is it?" 'Not an accident please! I don't want that'

"Inu yasha and Kikyou are getting married"

She stiffened.

'Ok world you can end now'

A silence was formed at her and it were minutes before Kagome could register what was happening.

"Kagome?" Sango said for the Hundredth time.

"Kagome are you alright?" Sango was really beginning to worry.

"...When?" she managed to choke out. 'It's worse than him getting an accident or us getting kicked out of our job... Why is the world so cruel to me?'

"I don't really know... they haven't said it to me so I guess I'll ask tomorrow. You still there?"

"Yeah, I know it's nothing really. I guess I'll see you in the office." 'Nothing...?' "Right... I guess so. Goodnight and Kagome?"

"Huh?"

"Don't take it too seriously"

"Sure Sango"

With that she put down the phone and went to her room. Although, she was feeling that she could die now.

'Why?' the word seem to repeat over and over her mind while walking absently.

She went straight to her bed as soon as she got to her room. Her eyes focused straight up the ceiling. She wanted to cry but she held back.

'I shouldn't cry... I do not have any love relationships with him so it should mean nothing to me. But why do I feel this way? I feel as if I should be the one that holds his... heart.'

She hugged her pillow close to her. She was tired and so confused. She'll have to deal with this frustration tomorrow.

~*~*~*~

'What the?' He felt a pang of pain rush through him. Going all around his body but after a few seconds it went away. He was at his bed ready for sleep when it came.

'What was that?' He was quite confused. He remembered just moments ago what his half brother announced to them.

-Flashback-

The family was gathered in the living room with the exception of Kikyou.

"I'm sorry if I called so sudden but I believe that I have some important news to all of you" Inu yasha was nervous.

"What is it my son" InuTaisho said.

Inu yasha looked in Kikyou's direction and then she nodded.

With that he continued after he gulped and breathed hard. "I-I... Kikyou and... I... are getting married..." He managed to say through his hard breathing.

"WHAT?" His mother and their father said at the same time.

Inu yasha nodded. Sesshoumaru stood and walked away not caring what happened next. He held no emotion.

-End of flashback-

Though it did not bothered him at that moment it bothered him now. The reason, he did not know. But it has a connection to his best friend. He knew once she heard of this news she will feel hurt. But why did he bother anyway. She was just his best friend, right? For only that sole fact will he care, as a friend only...
