Beautiful Things

Prologue

Kagome lay on her bed in her empty apartment mourning. Not over a death, but over a failed relationship. You know the one that a person put there whole life into? Yeah that.... Now, do you see where love and trust gets you? Heartbroken and lonely; well that's what Kagome thought, at least.

-Flashback five years earlier -

"I'm glad you decided to stay with me Kagome. That bastard brother of mine wouldn't have treated you right." A silver haired young man, named Inuyasha, told Kagome.

Kagome fidgeted with the hem of her festival kimono. "I told you Inuyasha, we are just friends, and you can't change that. I was your brother's friend first."

"Yeah, yeah, but you're my woman now." Inuyasha said with a smirk. "So starting Monday at school, you'll be sitting with me; not him."

-End Flashback-

He said that he loved her, in the beginning, but that all changed. After a while, she was no longer his love. Slowly, he began to withdrawal. He called her names, told her she was ugly and told her that she was useless. Hell, he even openly compared her to other women; mainly Kikyo, who she found out, is his lover. Years later she would find out that all of it was just a big lie to get what he wanted.

-Flashback three years earlier-

"I do love you, Inuyasha, but..." Kagome blushed at the thought of what he was asking.

Inuyasha huffed in frustration and mild irritation. "Come on. You said you love me right?" He prompted. "Going down on me ain't really sex you know."

"You know I'm saving myself!" Kagome protested.

"If you love me you will do this... and more, because I love you." Inuyasha turned his back and waited for Kagome's answer.

-End Flashback-

He wanted to make her feel small. He wanted to make her feel useless. He wanted her to depend on only him. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

-Flashback one year earlier-

"Stop bitchin', Kagome!" Inuyasha stormed over to the coat closet in the apartment that he and Kagome shared. "If you did things like Kikyo, then I wouldn't stay gone all the time."

Unleashed tears started to form in Kagome eyes. "Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo! What in the hell does she have to do with 'us', Inuyasha?" Kagome was becoming angrier by the second. "I am not Kikyo! And I never will be." She could not understand his obsession with his ex-girlfriend; it was just maddening!

"Think about what I said Kagome!" With that, Inuyasha left.

-End Flashback-

Stupidly, Kagome did what he said and now she is all alone. A month ago, her boyfriend of five years threw her away like she was some kind of play toy and openly announced his relationship to the other woman; the relationship that she refused to let herself see.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

What am I to do now, Kagome thought. Kagome felt like the laughing stalk of Japan; even her one time best friend, Sesshoumaru, abandoned her. Self doubt clouded her mind. Suddenly she felt the need to just be away; either that or move away. Maybe chase her dreams of being a model? Sure Inuyasha told Kagome that she was too 'plain lookin' to be a model, but so what. Kagome decided to let the experts decide.

Moving over to the side of the bed Kagome rummaged through her address book. She hoped to Kami this is still her number!

After several rings some picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello, may I speak to Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome?" The voice asked.

"Yes." Kagome answered.

"This is me, Kagome!" Sango replied. It's been a long while since she heard from the friend that is like a sister to her.

Kagome smiled a sad smile over the phone. "Hey Sango, what's going on?"

"Nothing much just a little work her and there." Sango answered.

"Are you still modeling?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Yes. Kagome are you okay? I know it been a while since I've seen you but I can still tell when something is bothering you.

"I know." Kagome sounded dejected. "Well, I was wondering if I could come and stay with you for a while. Maybe find some work?" Kagome ask shyly.

"I knew it!" Sango yelled. "Sure you can stay, but you have to tell me why you're trying to flee Japan first."

She should have known Sango would ask this question. "Inuyasha finally left me for Kikyo." Kagome said. "Sango, sister, I'm tired of the heartache... I'm tired of the pain. I just want to leave. I just..." Suddenly there was a knock on Kagome's apartment door. "Sango let me call you right back, okay?"

"Okay. Or, look, just get on a plane and call me from an airport. I'm here for you remember that. Love you, bye." Sango hung up.

Kagome quickly hung up the phone and ran to the door. The longer she stalled, the louder the knocks got and the faster. "Hold on!" Kagome shouted.

-BAM! BAM!-

"Damn! I said hold on!" Kagome yelled again. Finally she got to the door, and was shocked to see who was standing there. "Sesshoumaru?"

"Indeed. May I come in?" With no answer from Kagome; Sesshoumaru, Kagome's long time, absent friend invited himself in.
