Because Loving Hurts

Miroku tucked his legs under him and leaned back against the tree. Looking up to the stars, he sighed. After a moment, he became aware of light footsteps and the swish of baggy clothes. Inuyasha dropped down next to him. "Something the matter, monk?"

"No, not really. Just thinking about my life and wondering what it will become." Miroku stated quietly. At this, Inuyasha gaped.

"You sure you're alright, monk?" He asked, thumping the side of Miroku's head with his fingers.

Pushing Inuyasha's hand away, Miroku answered in a near whisper. "Perfectly fine, aside from the fact that the woman I love hates me."

Sitting down, Inuyasha said in an undertone, "That makes two of us."

Silence reigned for a few moments between the two. Finally, Miroku spoke. "Why is it that life treats us such? It gives us hearts we cannot hold and a life we cannot live."

"I don't know, monk. Maybe it's a curse."

"I know my problem is this curse." Miroku said, holding up his cursed hand and looking at it remorsefully. Standing, he walked across the small brook. Inuyasha, not one to be left behind, jumped after him. They walked for a few moments. Nearing the village they had stopped near, they heard someone singing.

Life is strange

It is a blessing

And a curse

It gives and takes

It gives hearts

To those that cannot hold

Life to those

That cannot live

I am so scared

So tired

Of not living

Not loving

What is this life

Supposed to be

I live in a

BrOkEn ReAlItY

Nothing really lasts

It all passes away

Never can stay

Where I want to be

Shifting

Changing

Never really there

I am so broken

So torn

My heart is tired

Of not loving

What is this life

Supposed to be

I live in a

BrOkEn ReAlItY

Do not know

Where I am gonna land

Where I will be

When someone stops

Breaking my

Reality...

Because lovin' you

Hurts...

Miroku and Inuyasha blinked. It was strange, but that song was their cry. Turning to walk back to camp, Miroku looked back. Because loving you hurts...

I-I-I-I-I-I

Poor guys. (patpat) That song, 'BrOkEn ReAlItY' was written by yours truly for her band-type thing. Reviews and crit is appreciated, gosh knows I need it. See you some other day!
