Note: I know I haven't updated
in...forever. I suck. I'm a miserable human being, but I didn't
realize until after I transferred all my writing to floppies and
wiped the hard drive of my old compy that my laptop doesn't have a
floppy drive! I've also been out of work for close to a month and
cannot afford to by an external floppy drive for aforementioned
laptop. "Where is the old compy?", you might ask. I sold
it to a friend! So, I decided to start a new story:-) I know that
everyone and her cat has written an Inuyasha fic inspired by this
song, but they are not me. I looked at some of them to make sure I
wasn't going to be plagiarizing anyone else's work. So, without
further ado, here is my fic!

Prologue:
The
Trial
"I'm
looking at these photos, Ms. Higurashi, and I fail to understand why
we are sitting in this courtroom today. This photo clearly depicts
your name carved into the seats of Mr. Takahashi's Land Rover. I
cannot honestly believe your case got this far," Judge Abby
Parker leveled her gaze on the defendant.
The
raven haired girl in the witness stand nodded solemnly, "I
understand ma'am. I cannot explain my actions that night."
"Clearly,
Your Honor, this was a crime of passion," Sango Taijya, Kagome's
lawyer (and best friend), declared firmly. "We have heard Mr.
Takahashi's story of an 'unhinged, deluded maniac', but it is time to
hear Kagome's side of the story." She turned on her heel and
strode up to the witness box. "Kagome, please tell us what you
first heard and then viewed as you arrived home on April 13, 2007."
The
plaintiff, a platinum haired hanyou, snorted and rolled his eyes,
causing the judge to cast a meaningful stare in his direction,
"That's enough, Mr. Takahashi. I have heard your version of
events. It is time that I hear from Ms. Higurashi." She turned
her intense gaze back to the young defendant. "Go ahead, Ms.
Higurashi."
"Um.
I was coming home from a girl's night out with a few friends, and I
noticed my cousin's car parked in the driveway."
"And
you didn't find this at all odd?" Sango asked.
Kagome
shook her head, "No. I was expecting a visit from Kikyou. I
assumed she arrived earlier than she had planned. I was excited to
see her." She turned to the judge to explain. “We hadn't
seen each other in a few years, because she had been studying
abroad.”
"I
see. And when you entered the house, what did you see." Sango
prodded.
The
slim, ebony haired woman paled a bit, "Nothing, at first. I
couldn't find either Inuyasha or Kikyou anywhere."
"Was
that unusual."
Kagome
shook her head. "No. They had always been close. It was
Kikyou who would introduced me to Inuyasha.” Judge Abby Parker
raised an eyebrow at this.
Sango
continued her line of questioning, "And you had never suspected
Inuyasha of being unfaithful."
She
shook her head sadly, her expressive hazel eyes brimming with unshed
tears. "I never had any reason to."
Sango
reached out and patted her friend and client's hand. "I know
how difficult this must be for you, but please continue."
Kagome
nodded once more, "I, uh, remember walking up the stairs to our
bedroom--"her voice broke on a sob. "I'm sorry, Your
Honor." She lowered her head.
"It's
ok, Ms. Higurashi. Take your time."
Kagome
took a moment to collect herself and, taking a deep breath, lifted
her head to continue. "The door to the bedroom was closed and I
heard...noises."
"What
kind of noises did you hear, Kagome?" Sango prompted.
"Well,
I started hearing the noises once I got to the first landing on the
stairs and they got louder and louder the further I went. The sounds
were obviously those of two people having fantastic sex."
"What
happened next?"
"I
don't know."
"What
do you mean you don't know."
Kagome
shook her head slowly, "I really don't know. The next thing I
remember is sitting in your driveway, Sango."
"Come
now, Kagome, I'm your best friend as well as your council and even I
find that hard to believe."
"I
know. I just--"
Inuyasha
leaped from his seat. "Judge, you don't honestly believe that
crock of shit, do you?!"
Jude
Parker's shrewd gaze snapped to the hanyou, "Mr. Takahashi, may
I remind you that you are in my
court? Your behind had better stay firmly glued to you seat. If you
open that mouth of yours once more, I will hold you in contempt."
The hanyou's lawyer,
who also happened to be his half-brother, sent him a warning look.
As usual, subtlety
was lost on the inu-hanyou. Instead of heading the judge's blatant
warnings, he plowed on, "Aw, c'mon, Judge! She was a fuckin'
Acting major for cryin' out loud!"
Judge Parker slammed
her gavel against her pulpit. "That is quite enough, Mr.
Takahashi. I hold you in contempt of court. You will pay a fine of
five thousand dollars. Bailiff, please take him remand him into
custody."
"They can't do
this, can they Sesshoumaru?!" Inuyasha bellowed as the Bailiff
snapped the handcuffs into place.
"Unfortunately,
little brother, they can. If you would learn to keep your mouth shut
and your cock in your pants, things like this would not happen.
Honestly, I'm surprised Kagome put up with you as long as she did."
Judge
Parker banged her gavel three more times, making the courtroom walls
ring. "Enough! Mr. Takahashi, if you do not want to suffer the
same fate as your brother, you will take a seat immediately."
Her tone was deadly, and Sesshoumaru shrugged, sinking gracefully
into his uncomfortable, wooden chair. "Ms. Higurashi, you many
exit the witness stand and join your council." Her eyes
followed the young woman's progress, watching every movement
intently. The girl seemed unsure of herself. There was no snide
self-assurance, no pride, no malice in her that Abby Parker could
identify. It was entirely possible that the girl could have blacked
out and committed the acts. It was not unheard of. Judge Parker
waited for Kagome to be seated before she spoke, "Ms. Taijya, do
you have a psychologist on hand to back up your claim that this was a
crime of passion?"
"I most
certainly do. Eri Makimoto is on my witness list. Should I call her
to the stand, Your Honor?"
Abby Parker was
about to do something that went against everything she had ever been
taught in law school. She just wanted to get these psychos out of
her courtroom. She sighed, "That will not be necessary, Ms.
Taijya. Please stand, Ms. Higurashi." She watched the girl
closely as her hazel eyes went wide and she looked to her council for
an answer. "After observing the behavior of both plaintiff and
defendant, I have decided to rule in favor of the defendant."
Kagome smiled in relief and hugged Sango tightly. "However, Ms.
Higurashi, you will be required to attend anger management classes
once a week. In addition, you will perform fifty hours of community
service."
"Ha!"
Inuyasha crowed happily as the bailiff clamped the handcuffs down
onto his wrists.
Judge Parker turned
her icy glare on the half-demon. "As for you, Mr. Takahashi. I
am requiring you to attend anger management classes once a week as
well. In addition, you will perform 150 hours of community service.
We have already addressed your five thousand dollar fine."
"Man, that's
bullsh--"
"Continue with
that sentence, if you want to make it a ten thousand dollar fine and
500 hours of community service, Mr. Takahashi."
Inuyasha's mouth
snapped shut and his jaw clenched.
"Now, get out
of my courtroom, all of you."
Inuyasha held up his
cuffed wrists and opened his mouth, but was cut off, "Bailiff,
once Mr. Takahashi is out of my earshot, uncuff him and give him over
to the custody of his brother."
If looks could kill,
Abby Parker was sure she would be dead, but she wasn't scared of a
foulmouthed little shit like Inuyasha Takahashi.
~*~
As Kagome Higurashi
walked out of the courtroom, she made eye-contact with her ex-fiance,
and smiled evilly.
"You bitch!"
He screamed and Sesshoumaru had to exert all of his strength to hold
him back. "Let me go, Sesshomaru! I'm going give that bitch
the beating she deserves!"
"Is that a
threat, Inuyasha? I'd be very careful about how you talk to me, if I
were you."
Sesshoumaru was
stunned. "It really was premeditated, wasn't it?"
"Damn skippy,
Sesshoumaru. No one fucks with me and comes away unscathed."
She pecked the older Takahashi brother on the cheek and sashayed
away, her hips swaying sweetly as she went.
"I think I just
came a little," Sesshoumaru murmured. "Your fiance is
brutally hot, little brother."
"EX-fiance.
And apparently, she's a fucking crazy bitch! If you want her, take
her. I hope she fucks up your Benz like she fucked up my ride."
"Unlike you,
Inuyasha, I would have the sense not to cheat on such an alluring
creature. I bet she's an animal in the bedroom."
"Fuckin' lay
off, Sesshoumaru," the younger brother groused.
"You want her
right now, don't you? You want to run after her and take her on the
courthouse steps!" Sesshoumaru crowed.
"Shut up!"
"Then why did
you cheat on her?"
"What the hell
are you going on about?"
"You still want
Kagome."
"I didn't say
that!"
"Ah, but you
have not denied it, either."
"Fuck you,
Sesshoumaru." the hanyou muttered.
"Incest is
officially illegal in all fifty states, dear brother."
"I hate you,"
Inuyasha growled and tugged at his silver hair, trying desperately to
ignore the uncomfortable bulge in his lower region.

Author's Note: This is just a
first draft. I wanted to get a feel for how people would react to
this piece. And yes! If you weren't absolutely sure, the fic was
inspired by "Before He Cheats", by Carrie Underwood. Is
there anyone out there with good proofing skills that would be
interested in being my beta-reader? I have so many ideas right now
and I really need someone to bounce them off of.
