"I want HER to want me the way I want her wanting me…"


He could smell her; that sweet aroma of flowers and rain. Delicious... He took a deep breath, his chest puffing forward from the sudden swell of fresh oxygen inserting his lungs. His nose twitched… She was much closer than he thought! In normal circumstances, he'd jump to his feet and in a split-second, he'd disappear to see the bearer of such a sweet fragrance… But this wasn't a normal circumstance, per se. Oh no, it was most definitely NOT normal…

Tears stung his eyes. HIS eyes! How… how could…? In years, the very thought of him crying would have brought him to his knees in laughter. But, this was no laughing matter, was it…? Well… some would say he was being a tad over-dramatic… Those idiotic people who have no clue what a torn heart felt like… This was no exaggeration, the pain he was feeling… The mere smell of her caused him such agony, he couldn't bear it. He thought twice about it, but in the end, he turned his back and ran away. Ran away from the pain… Ran away from her.

Had he really no hope? No hope at all? It pained him to face that fact, and he did well in facing denial for the longest bit of time… But he always knew, deep down he knew. That it was not himself that she loved… Not him who was of high power and high reputation. He who had amazingly good looks and bad-boyish charms. It was not him who had the one only prize he so painfully wished to possess, what he ached for. The only thing that really mattered to him… And it wasn't his for the taking. How ironically cruel fate could be. How devilish and sly and oh-so-painful.

"Kagome… Is there any way..? Any way at all for you to finally become mine..?" He whispered on the wind, slowing his ridiculously fast pace to a brisk jog. His lusciously long black locks flowing roughly behind him in the harsh wind. He paid no mind to that, only to his thoughts. He could hear the beautiful serenade of her sweet voice, only it seemed darkened by her pain. Such pain in her lovely voice, it could possibly be equal to his own… If not more. He hated the being that caused her such pain. Hated it with such a passion, he wanted to KILL it. But he knew she wouldn't approve. For the very thing that causes her so much pain was the only thing she's given her heart to. To a beast who doesn't appreciate what it has. What HE has, to be civil. That damn half-breed; how in the hell was HE able to win something as priceless and desirable as HER heart… ? The world was cruel to let that happen, and as Kouga could hear the breaking of his own heart, he could very well see the same thing happening to the object of his desire. Her heart was breaking, because of That Damn Half-Breed… And there was really nothing he could do about it.

"I love you, Kagome." He sighed as he crouched down, putting a hand on his head as he let out a heavy sigh. A soft whine was heard as one of his wolves crept up next to him and brushed it's nose and large head on Kouga's thigh. Without a word, Kouga stood and took off once more in a whirlwind and disappeared on the path.

One Day; I promise. I'll take away your pain.


Yoyoyoyoyoyoyooyoyoo! :D Sorry for the abrupt ending, but gots tahh leave you guys hanging SOME where. I'm sure you can see where this is going though. But in either the next chapter or the one after that, you'll find out why Dear Kouga is so very heart broken. Now don't rage your imaginations, my lovely readers; it's not THAT tragic. But if you were in love, I'm sure it would mean the end of the world to you. (Can I get an Amen?*amen*)

-cough-

Well, ANYWAYS; review this. Hopefully I'll be able to update as much as I possibly can, but Eighth Grade is so much more complicated than it seems.

O_____________O;;

I very much would love to continue, but I need some support, so reviews get the job done fabulously(:
