Disclaimer! Disclaimer! : On a happy note, Inuyasha loves me. Yeah, he told me so. The bad news, I can't own him.

Bleeding Love

Pain. Pure, unadulterated, and inconceivable pain. No, not like the physical pain of a mortal gunshot, that would be followed by the numbness of your body as it slips into the cold eternal abyss, of course not. It was much, much worse. It felt as if I'd been betrayed in some twisted way. As if the woman sitting next to me, calmly sipping her Cognac, had suddenly decided that she wanted to kill someone and took out a knife, jamming into my heart multiple times to make sure she killed me. I wish she would kill me. It would certainly be a happy ending, everyone would be happy.

I don't want to feel pain anymore. I don't want to keep consuming alcohol, just to numb the on going pain. The one thing though, that can even come close to making me happy is her. The worst part is that she knows it. She knows that I can't live without her. Yet, she's here, dancing with him, kissing him, whispering in his ear, and loving him. Love, what a waste of an emotion. I mean, here's everyone and everything loving each other and being all happy. Can't I get someONE too? What does a guy have to do to have someone to love and love him in return?

"Sir, your Everclear shot is ready."

I looked up, displeased, and grunted, "Leave the bottle."

Time for the pain to go away, at least, for a little while.

A/N: Well, whaddya guys think? Pretty nifty, if I do say so myself. Again, reviews are imperative in my quest to write a breath-stealing, jaw-dropping, eye-popping, mind-numbing, knee-shaking, earth-quaking (?) story. I need your feedback, be it a good review, or a bad one- I mean, there are no such things as bad reviews, just constructive criticism. Oh, many, many thank you's to my beta, InuyashaFreak! Guys, without her the author of this story would look like an illiterate. Also, I would like to point out that the chapters in this story will mostly be drabble to one-shot length (some from 100-250, other from 900- 1200). Thank you again! So, without further or do: my goodbyes and farewells!

Ja Ne!

Everclear- In case someone didn't know, Everclear is the strongest-if not, one of the strongest- legally sold alcohols. In fact, some states in the United States ban the 190-proof (which has 95% alcohol) Everclear from being sold. It also comes as 151-proof (75.5% alcohol), which is only sold commercially in California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and some other states.
