All right, for some reasons, I have been listening to my normal music and yet I am hit with inspiration. The other day I heard a Garth Brooks song on the radio, one that I have heard before, all the time actually. It just hit me for an idea for a one shot. It was weird. I never expected to be writing a piece on that song. I have actually been inspired to write another one shot as well. This one was inspired by 'Somewhere Other Than Tonight'. Check that song out cause its really good. This one shot is really actually darker than the song, but I hope you don't mind. Now, just know that Italics are an alternate perspective. They aren't really happening. Now, with that said, Here is the one shot. Enjoy. THIS IS AN AU FIC. Ok, now you can go and read it.

"Tonight" by Inu Faceness
She ran out of the house crying with her hand over her face. He opened the screen door and watched her stop at the bottom of the porch. His fiery golden eyes accented the scowl on his face. She turned to look at his face, blurred by her falling tears. Just barely she could hear what he said.
"Damn this entire life. Damn the marriage." Inu Yasha tossed his ring at her, walking past the sobbing woman to his red car. He got in and turned on the engine, not once looking back at her.
Kagome bent down and picked up the golden band. She flipped it over in her palm and watched him pull out of the drive. Once he was out of her sight, she fell to her knees, getting her jeans caked with mud. The woman didn't care. Her tears didn't stop falling until her stomach started hurting from her wrenching weeps.
Her white apron was tied around her waist as she put the diner on the wooden table in the dining room. Kagome wiped her hands across the bottom of the cloth, standing in the room as she awaited her husband. Her raven hair cascaded down her bare back as she wrung her hands nervously. She heard the car pull up and stop. The car door was heard through the quiet house and the jingling of the keys echoed as Inu Yasha made his way up the steps of the porch.
Opening the screen door, he began to smile. Kagome's face was burning with her blush and he entered the room, putting his keys on the table. He stood in front of the girl as she looked up at him, her smile creeping across her lips. Her voice shaking slightly, Kagome pointed at the table.
"I made dinner," she said. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her practically naked body.
"I can see that," he answered, burying his face in the crook of her neck. They stood there, holding each other for a few moments before he broke the embrace and kissed her passionately.
She curled on the couch, still holding his long forgotten wedding ring. Her arms were wrapped around her still shaking body as she tried to calm down. The cheeks on her face were raw and red, her eyes puffy and closed. Her house was so empty, full of painful memories of their latest fight. The screaming, the name-calling, all the hurtful things she had said to him. Kagome remembered how she was the one to throw insults at him. All because she had thought he was cheating on her.
"I called him nothing but a low life dirty hanyou," she said aloud. Tears made their way passed her closed eyes. She sniffled, trying to make the ball she was in tighter. He wasn't coming back this time. 'I've really hurt him.' Without thinking, she stood, walking over to the writing desk in the corner of the room.
"I cant live without you, Inu Yasha," she said. Opening the top left hand drawer, Kagome took out the pistol hidden in the back. She remembered it was an heirloom for Inu Yasha from his father. The Tetsusaiga, it was called. Running her fingers over the barrel, she slowly put it to her chest. "I love you," she spoke before squeezing the trigger.
The gentle breeze blew by them as the sat in the porch swing. His arms were around her and they were both wrapped in a fuzzy black blanket. The sun was setting as her eyes slowly drifted shut and a content smile appeared on her face. Inu Yasha bent his head down to kiss her on the forehead.
He sat there thinking, mesmerized by the setting sun. He realized then that he didn't truly deserve Kagome. She was so good to him yet he neglected to give her what she wanted sometimes. She deserved better. But she loved him and he adored her. There wasn't a single person that could break their bond. A single tear fell from his face and onto her head.
Her eyes opened and she turned in his embrace to see his face. The trail the tear left on his soft features was wiped away by her gentle touch and she half smiled.
"I've never seen you cry before, Inu Yasha." He smiled back and kissed her.
"And you wont very often," they both laughed lightly. He put his forehead against hers. "I love you."
"I love you too."

Ok, you'll have to hear the song to understand the path of this story. There wasn't really a reason for the one shot, but I was just inspired. Just go find the song if you haven't heard it before and listen to it, prolly better if you did that first. Then you wouldn't be confused by this. Lol. Well, hope you all liked it. Later.
