YAY! I was so excited to about how many reviews and hits and whatnot that I got in just two days that I decided to update much earlier than planned XD

Chapter 2 – fallen to pieces
~ Kagome ~
I, secretly and supremely shocked that Sesshomaru had managed to sneak up on me, just nonchalantly looked up and said, "Sesshomaru".
Hehe, he's in shock I must be good at singing… wait Sesshomaru, shocked… what? Those two words did not fit well into the same sentence. I must be losing my mind. I looked up at him again just to make sure I wasn't and was surprised to see him now smirking at me.
"What's so funny Sesshomaru?" I asked in a slightly irritated voice.
"hn" was the only reply I got. Damn demons and their one worded answers! Damn them all! I was pulled out of my silent rant by the slight rustling of clothes, and saw Sesshomaru making his way out of the clearing.
"Hey, wait Sesshomaru why are you leaving?" I suddenly felt bold enough to ask.
"This Sesshomaru was only checking to make sure that you were here before he brought his ward to be in the presence of that insufferable hanyou." With that the lord continued on his way to leave Kagome to slightly simmer.
He didn't have to be rude about it. Though coming from Sesshomaru that was being pretty nice I suppose. I sighed and walked towards my final destination, the village. My walk was short lived however when a ball of red and blue fluff nearly knocked me to my feet.
"Kagome!"
"Hey Shippo!" I replied with a soft laugh.
"lady Kagome."
"Kagome!" I looked up and saw Miroku and Songo. From the looks of it they had been in fast pursuit of their small fox companion when they had seen me. Kirara jumped silently to her master shoulders. They had not changed much over the year I had been gone. Actually the only one who had really changed was Shippo. He had finally grown as tall as my waist! In one year!
"Shippo!" I exclaimed "my you have grown a lot in the year I was gone!" he laughed and hugged me tighter. I looked around, but for the life of me I couldn't find the one person I wanted to see. The one I missed the most.
"Hey where's…" I trailed off as I saw Miroku shake his head and Songo starting to give me the you know where look edged with a little sympathy. Oh. Off to see Kikyo. I felt a familiar pang in my chest. I hated that feeling. I turned away so no one could see my face.
"umm… Actually, I accidentally left something by the well. I need to go get it. Please don't wait up for me." I told them, and felt Shippo let go of my waist as I started to walk away.
It hurt. It hurt badly. It felt like someone shoved hundreds needles into my chest. He chose tonight of all nights to go see her. He knew. He knew! I was coming back tonight, but no. he had to go off and see that, that, that dead clay pot of a whore! My anger died away, and tears slid down my face.
I knew it was going to be like this. I knew it and I still have the audacity to be angry at him. I should be angry with myself. My heart broke in two. I couldn't handle it. In my mind the sound carried through the forest in a loud 'tinkle' almost as if it were made of fragile glass.
My tears flowed faster down my face now each drop momentarily blinding me so that I tripped a number of times until I made it to the well. My body hurt. It felt as though someone had decided that I would be the world's greatest plaything. Like that someone had chewed me up, spat me back out, batted me around with its massive paws, and then threw me as far in the air as it could then watched as I fell to earth with a silent scream.
My mouth opened and I felt the song flow out of my mouth as was habit now, since while I trained I needed something to let out my feeling so that nothing bad happened to the people around me.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing,
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in,
'Coz I got time while she got freedom,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even.
His best days will be some of my worst,
he finally met a woman that's gonna put him first,
While I'm wide awake, he has no trouble sleeping,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even, even no.
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Coz he's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks
no it don't break even, even no.
The tears were now falling harder, but my voice was steady. I felt it gain a little strength at that knowledge.
the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love
while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even)
You got her heart and my heart and none of the pain,
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh.
'Coz you left me with no love, with no love to my name.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing,
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in,
'Coz I got time while he got freedom,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break, no it don't
break, no it don't break even no.
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces,
(One still in love
while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even)
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, It don't break even, no
By now I had calmed enough to know that I was being watched. I watched as Rin and Sesshomaru came forward from the trail.
"Kagome-chan, why are you crying" little Rin asked her innocent look of worry bringing fresh tears.
"Rin go play with Jaken" Sesshomaru ordered. He looked down at me.
"Miko, why are you crying?" he restated Rin's question. I looked up at him astonished he would even bother to ask me.
"Inuyasha" a look of disgust passed across his face when he heard that. So he too knew of that dead clay pot, and it's "visits" with Inuyasha.
~ Sesshomaru ~
I should have known it was that damn half-breed. How dare he do such a thing to this fragile creature. This creature who's heart break was literally heard throughout the entire region, who's song could be heard as a whisper to all, a soft voice tempting any male with worth to rush forth and kill the one who could cause such a soul wrenching sound.
That half-breed absolutely did not deserve the miko with her astounding voice. It was amazing. She was amazing. All that strength, loyalty, and not to mention the fact that when she gave herself to someone she gave her all, it was enough to make any male desire her.
I reached down and picked up the small miko. Her sound of protest was muffled against my tail as I held her as best as I could with one arm. Her frame-wracking sobs slowly dwindled to nothing, and she fell asleep against my unarmored shoulder and tail. With her hand squeezing my tail slightly, and her arm wrapped around my waist in a loose embrace that helped keep her from falling.
I'll have her. I will make her mine. Her power, her soul, her innocence, and her heart, they shall all be mine. And no one, no one will take her away from me. Not even that damn half-breed Inuyasha.
