I don't own Inuyasha. This another one of my fics which i am DESTINED TO FINISH!!!! Don't hate me because of the Kouga thing! I love Kouga too! Besides, it'll be more fun if he's a bad boy!


Chapter One: Two Troubled Hearts

Kagome sighed as she watched her boyfriend flirt with another girl. Tears built up in her eyes but she did not dare to say or do anything. Oh Kouga, why are you doing this to me? Am I not good enough for you? You say you love me and you care about me but that's not true! I see it in your eyes....it's as if you'd rather be somewhere else. She thought to herself as she shuddered from the chilly wind outside.

Kagome Higurashi was a girl of 17 years old and had a very abusive boyfriend, Kouga. She loved him but he couldn't return her feelings. Deep down she knew that he only kept her to get himself an image. She closed her eyes as tears stung them. "What are you crying about, woman?" she heard Kouga's voice as she looked up, she wiped away the tears quickly. "It's nothing. It's just the wind." She felt him sit down beside her, and raise her chin. "Don't worry, Kagome. I love you more than anyone. I will never hurt you." And the sad thing was...she belived his lies, and she forgot that she was hurt as he pressed his lips to hers.

That night it was 3:00 am and Kouga was still not home. She sighed as she looked up at the clock above the kitchen counter and sighed, and sipped her coffee. He promised he would be there at 10:00pm but he's still not here. She placed her head down and began to cry silently. She wanted to end it with him but if she did, he would do much more than hurt her. One time he threatened to kill her if she left him. But she still loved him...
Crying was not helping her. "I can't cry anymore. I've shed too many tears already." with that she closed her eyes just as she heard the door slam. She sat up to see Kouga soaking wet from the rain outside walk in. She went over to him and took his jacket and hanging it up to dry. "Where were-" she began to ask. "None of your buisness." was his sharp reply and she winced. She smelt perfume on his shirt and she saw something red on his neck...lipstick?! "Kouga what have you been doing this entire time? It's 3 am and you promised to be here by 10! I'm starting to think you're cheating on me!" Kouga lost it and smacked her upside the head. She backed into a wall. "Ungrateful wench! How dare you suggest such a thing! If I was cheating on you I would have kicked you out of my house!" She was trembling. "I-I'm sorry I-" but he pushed her into the wall really hard and she hit her head. She felt something warm roll down her neck. Blood. "KOUGA STOP!!" She screamed but he picked up the coathanger and threw it at her. Luckily she dodged it. She grabbed her jacket and ran outside as far away from the house that her nightmares were concealed in.

It was pouring buckets that night, and she sat alone in the park, softly crying. She shivvered. The thin jacket she was wearing wouldn't protect her from the cold wind at all. Softly she began to sing to herself.
"I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way, the way she felt everyday
I couldn't help her
I just watched her make the same mistake again

What's wrong what's wrong now?
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to gohome
But Nobody's Home
That's where she lies
Broken Inside
No place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken Inside

Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reason's why
You've been rejected
Now you can't find
What you've left behind

Be strong be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she Belongs

She wants to go home
But Nobody's Home
That's where she lies
Broken Inside
There's not place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken Inside

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind
She can't find her place
She's loosing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place

(Chorus)"

She couldn't hold the tears back anymore. She cried like she's never cried before. "Kagome?" she heard someone say her name. The voice was full of concern and worry, and it was gentle. Something she didn't expect. She looked up and saw those two amber eyes and that silver hair and angelic face. "Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" she asked between sobs. Inuyasha took off his jacket and placed it upon her shoulders. "Same thing I was about to ask you. Why aren't you home?" Kagome didn't want to tell him what was going on she just gave a weak smile. "Oh...uh...can you believe it? I locked myself out and Kouga's not home." Inuyasha felt that she wasn't telling the truth. "Right. Come on, you can stay with me and Miroku. We have an extra bed." She nodded a thanks. "Thank you." He smiled. "No problem. Least I can do for an old friend." She returned the smile.

They entered the small apartment that Miroku and Inuyasha were sharing. Miroku was sitting in front of the computer typing something and looking thoughtful. Inuyasha smirked taking Kagome's jacket and hanging it up. "What are you doing Miroku? Looking at hentai sites that you oh-so-love?" Miroku rolled his eyes. "No. I'm chatting with Sango...oh hi there Kagome? Why aren't you home? It's really late. Inuyasha did you pick up the sodas?" Inuyasha shook his head no. "I was headed to the store when I found Kagome sitting on the bench in the park soaking wet." Inuyasha explained and walked into his own room to find some dry clothes for her.
He glanced at Kagome and frowned with worry. Something's definately not right with Kagome and Kouga. I saw their lights on, she wasn't telling the truth. I'm going to call Kouga to see what the hell he's doing to I smell blood from her.

Meanawhile Kagome sat there still talking to Miroku and watched as he chatted with Sango. Then he looked at her. "HeyKagome, Sango would like to talk to you." Kagome nodded and took Miroku's spot in front of the computer.

The Exterminator G!RL says:

Hey Kagome! Why aren't you at home at 3:00 am?

xXMonk of LoveXx says:
No reason. I just locked myself out and Kouga's not home yet.

The Exterminator G!RL says:

Really? Oh and lol, but you should change the screen name. It scares me!

xXMonk of LoveXx says:
Lol. Alright. Hold on for a sec.

The Exterminator G!RLsays:

okay

Broken Insidesays:

There ya go. Anyways. What's up?

The Exterminator G!RLsays:

What's up with screen name? Doesn't sound like you.

Broken Insidesays:

Oh it's nothing...Oh God.

The Exterminator G!RLsays:

What's wrong? What? TELL ME!

Broken Insidesays:

Gotta go...Inuyasha's yelling at someone and I think I know who...

With those last words to Sango she got off the computer and ran where Inuyasha's words rang from. He was yelling at his cell phone. "SHUT UP KOUGA YA PIECE OF SHIT!! HOW DARE YOU TREAT KAGOME LIKE DIRT! I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS?! SHE'S SITTING IN MY APARTMENT REEKING OF BLOOD AND YOU AT THE SAME TIME! YA BASTARD IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON YOU I WOULD PERSONALLY SEE THAT YOU END UP DEAD IN THE SEWER WITH THE RATS WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE!" with that he hung up the phone. He noticed Kagome staring at him with tears in her eyes. "Kagome what's-?" he began but she just shook her head and grabbed her jacked and slammed the door. Inuyasha looked at Miroku confused and he just shrugged. Inuyasha forgot about the jacket and ran after her. He saw her in the elevator and she put his foot between the doors before they closed, and he pushed them open. "Kagome! What's wrong with you! I told him off now he won't abuse you anymore!" Kagome was crying again. She began shouting at him. "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU? NOW THAT YOU CALLED KOUGA HE'LL KNOW THAT I'M HERE AND NOW I CAN'T GET HOME WITHOUT THE FEAR OF KNOWING THAT I MIGHT BE BEATEN UP TO DEATH! AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU!!" With that she began sobbing. His heart broke for her right then and there. "Oh Kagome...I'm so sorry. I had no idea that he actually beat you..." with that he pulled her out of the elevator and pulled her into a hug, stroking the back of her head in a calming way.
They were sitting on the ground in the hallway, with he weeping into his shirt, and he was there to comfort her. "Shh Kagome. It's alright. I'll straighten things out with him. Don't worry. I'll be breathing down his neck if he mistreats you!" with that he felt her release her tension and he felt her breathing go steady. She was asleep.
He smiled and picked her up and carried her back into the apartment. As he placed her down on the extra bed and pulled the blanket over her he looked at her peaceful face. She's incredible. Kouga's a jackass to her and she's so strong. She's holding on no matter what. She's so beautiful when she's asleep...I've been in love with her for the longest time and yet I haven't broken up with Kikyo yet. How do I tell her that the feelings I should be feeling for her are dedicated to Kagome? Inuyasha sighed as he ran his hand through his silvery hair.

:FlashBack:

Inuyasha was sitting with Kagome,Sango,Kouga, Kikyo and Miroku at 15 years old in front of Kagome's home. He noticed Kouga has been giving Kagome flirtacious looks, and Inuyasha scowled. He was not going to say anything to Kagome that Inuyasha wanted to say! Inuyasha took a deep breath..."Can I tell you something K-" he began but Kouga was louder and braver. "Kagome I have something to tell you." Inuyasha shot Kouga a dirty look, and Kouga smirked. Kagome looked at him. "Yes, Kouga?" Kouga moved closer to her and stared into those hazel eyes...Inuyasha growled. Those are the eyes that he was supposed to be looking in! Kouga began to lean in closer to Kagome. "I love you Kagome and I'll be honored if you feel the same." Kagome smiled as he pressed his lips to hers. Inuyasha was becoming more jealous that he ever was. Those were HIS lips, not Kouga's!!! He lowered his eyes as Kagome returned Kouga's kiss and looked at Kikyo. "Kikyo, I'd really like for you to be my girl..." he said in a sad tone. But the miko didn't realize it...all Inuyasha felt was Kikyo's mouth covering his own. He closed his eyes in sadness and just let her do what she was doing. But before he did he glanced at Miroku and Sango who've been going out for a long time just glance at each other. He could tell that he couldn't care less about Kikyo...it was all Kagome in his heart. They knew who he trully loved.

:End of Flashback:

He sighed as he looked at the sleeping woman that captured his heart and never set it free. She never figured out how I feel about her. I never got a chance...why that dirty bastard. If Kagome was with me I would always come home to her, I'll always be there for her...I'll making her happy! I know that with me she'll realize what a wonderful thing love is! He smiled as he watched her breathing peacefully.

"Inuyasha...."
