Breakdown

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or "Breakdown" by mariah carey

Kagome walked through the forest with her cd player, thinking about what just transpired between her and Inuyasha

Flashback

"Kagome, I need to talk to you"

"OK, Inuyasha, lets talk."

"Not here, somewhere else"

He picked her up and carried her to a more secluded place.

"Okay. So what is so important that you had to bring me way out here to tell me" 'hopefully he will tell me that he loves me', she thought.

"Kagome I just wanted to tell you that you are my best friend. I don't want to lose you because I care for you as a brother would a sister and I could never love you in any other way."

Kagome's face faulted a little at this, but he didn't notice. "I feel the same way" she said. Inuyasha pulls her into a hug and says, "That's great. I thought you would be angry"

"Why would I be angry"

"I just... Nevermind, lets get back to Kaede's hut."

"You go ahead, I'm going to go for a walk."

end flashback

She puts on her cd player listening to "Breakdown" by Mariah Carey and sung along to it aloud.

"You called yesterday to basically say that you care for me, but that you're just not in love. Immediately I pretended to be felling similarly and led you to believe it was okay to just walk away from the one thing that's unyielding and sacred to me. Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it and I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you, but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind underneath a disguise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside. Friends ask me how I fell and I lie convincingly cause I don't want to reveal the fact I' suffering. So I go home at night and turndown the lights and then breakdown and cry." Unknowingly, a tear escapes from one of her eyes.

"So what you do when someone you're so devoted to suddenly stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue of the pain that rejection is putting you through. Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive" Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way" Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away"

While singing she didn't notice a certain demon lord listening, enthralled by her voice. 'She has a voice of an angel, yet she sings such a depressing song. 'Why do I care, she is only a filthy human.'

"What is wrong?"

Kagome gasps and turns around only to see the expressionless demon lord himself standing proudly before her. "What?"

"I will not repeat myself wench" kagome wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone.

"What do you want Sesshoumaru? Inuyasha isn't here. I don't have the Tetsusai-" Before she could finish that sentence she found herself up against a tree with a claw at her throat.

"Do not question this Sesshoumaru. I will not hesitate to kill you wench."

Kagome became red in the face. Trying to say something, but couldn't because of the claw around her neck. Instead, she just broke down and began to cry. Sesshoumaru let her go, being shocked at how the usually strong, defiant girl seem to be broken. Before he knew it, the girl herself at him. He was so shocked that it even showed on his usually emotionless face. Unconsciously he wrapped his arm around her. 'She smells so good.' After a little while, Kagome pulls herself away from the demon lord with a nice blush on her face.

"I'm so sorry Sesshoumaru, I didn't mean to do that." 'Why does he have to look so good?' "I just found out that the man I love just doesn't see me in the way I truly see him" 'why am I telling him this' "Can I ask you a question?" When he didn't say anything she took that as a yes and continued, "what are you really trying to do with Inuyasha. I mean are you really trying for the sword or are you training him. When I think abut it, you've have had plenty of time to kill him"

Sesshoumaru was shocked to say the least. It even showed on his face. 'How could this human figure out what this Sesshoumaru was doing.' He sighs and says, "You are correct, if I really wanted the sword I would have it. I promised his mother that I would watch out for him before she died. I had failed when that wench sealed him to that tree. I even watch over him during the new moon." 'Why am I telling her this.'

Kagome is surprised, 'why is he telling me this?' Without a thought she asked, "why are you telling me this?"

"I'm not really sure, it just came out" was his reply.

"I'm glad you told me. I won't tell Inuyasha about this. Anyways, I have to go before Inuyasha comes looking for me. I enjoyed this little talk of ours, we should do it again some time."

She starts to walk away when Sesshoumaru said, "Maybe we should. By the way what is your name?" She looked shocked but answered anyways.

"Kagome. My name is Kagome." With a smile she turns and walks toward the village.
