New Years Resolutions
Chapter 4
Confessions and Caught on Video Tape
As Kagome drifted back to herself, she looked at the man resting his forehead on the freezer under her. A lock of his silver hair spilled over his shoulder, his eyes shut as he took ragged breaths. His breath evened and his eyes opened slowly. Quickly she turned her head, she didn't want to see whatever emotion those amber depths might hold. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"NO!" Inuyasha said harsher than he intended, pushing away from her. Standing he turned away, denying himself the vision of her body. His mind supplied the images his eyes could not. Beginning to dress he spoke softly, having regained some control, "You have nothing to be sorry for. I ... I'm the one Kagome. After what happened last year, what I did." His head bowed as he continued, "I don't know how it happened, how I ended up in her bed." Raising his head he looked at the fuse box in front of him. "But I did and I hurt you. That I will never forgive myself for..."

"Hey Inuyasha? Kagome? You two down there?" Miroku's voice interrupted from the top of the stairs.

"Take a hike Miroku." Inuyasha called, "We're talking." Satisfied to hear a muttered comment and the door shut he continued. "As I was saying I'll never forgive myself for hurting you."

"Don't you think that is my right to decide that?" Kagome asked. "Something about that has always bothered me. Why did you get so drunk? I mean you never have more than two drinks."

"Drunk?" He asked. "I vaguely remember Kikyou handing me a drink, then I got dizzy. The next thing I remember was waking up in her bed, with you standing in the door crying. Who told you I was drunk?"

"Kouga." She watched as he finger combed his hair into the palm of one hand. Then he reached in the pocket and pulled a leather string out. "Don't." The word escaped her lips before she realized it. "I... I like your hair down." She said softly feeling the heat in her cheeks.

At her soft request he released his hair allowing it to hang to his waist. "As you wish."

"Inuyasha? I think you and I need to have a talk with Kikyou and Kouga. Something happened last year and I get the feeling someone lied and I think it was them." She stormed past him. Then his softly whispered words reached her.

"As you wish."

Turning she looked at him. He stood in the same spot, his eyes focused at a spot near her feet. "Inuyasha" she paused thinking desperately fomethmething ridiculous finally she thought of something, "go upstairs naked." She gasped as his hands went to the buttons of his shirt. And the same three words reverberated through the basement. "Stop. Inuyasha I was joking." His eyes met hers and she gasped at the emotions in them.

"Don't you understand, Kagome? If it is within my ability, I will do anything for you."

"Inuyasha, will you answer my questions?" He nodded, and she continued. "Other than..." she indicated the freezer, "when was the last time you were with a woman."

Taking a deep breath he prepared himself, "That I remember? December 31, 2002 at 2:30 in the afternoon."

"Oh." She said turning away to hide the tears that welled in her eyes. Then the year hit her. "OH! You mean you never ... with ..."

"Gods no. I have no desire to touch her. Never had, never will. The only thing I can figure is I somehow thought she was you. I know that is no excuse but..."

Miroku's voice interrupted again. "Sorry you two.. but man you gotta get up here."

"Miroku..." Inuyasha drawled slowly.

"Wait, remember what you said about poetic justice? It's gonna be real poetic." He called down.

Inuyasha was about to make call another comment when Kagome placed her han the the stair rail. "Come on Inuyasha. You know Miroku he won't leave us alone till we go up and see whatever it is." He watched as she mouthed to him. "I forgive you." and held her other hand out to him.

Moving to her side he took the offered hand. "Thank you." he mouthed back. Together they made their way up the stairs. As they entered the kitchen they stopped at the odd sight before them. A video camera was propped on a bar stool pointing into the den. Wires ran from the camera to the television sitting on the counter. Miroku placed a finger indicating for them to be silent, then crooked it for them to follow.

Sango looked up and saw her best friend, holding Inuyasha's hand. Smiling she scooted over making room for the two and her husband. At the shrugged shoulders from the two she pointed at the television. Clasping a hand over her mouth to muffle the laughter at their faces as they realized what they were watching.

On the small nine inch screen, a naked dark haired woman knelt before a chestnut haired man. Her mouth greedily sucking on his enlarged member. His hands wound in her hair holding her firmly in place as he thrust into her waiting mouth. A smile crossed Inuyasha's face and he pulled Miroku away. "Hey, remember that little piece of jewelry I told you to get rid of last year...."

"Be right back. It's in the office in the safe. Thought you might want it eventually." Miroku said clasping a hand on his friends shoulder, before making his way out of the kitchen.

"My god..." Kagome gasped softly, "How does she breathe?"
