Summary: Lovers. Married. Just not to each other.

The Long Road ≈ Do This Anymore ≈

Left on an eastbound train, gone first thing this morning,
Why's what's best for you, always the worst thing for me?

He watched her lay in his bed. She was beautiful, her pale skin, long dark hair and the most mesmerizing gray-blue eyes he had ever seen. He didn't know when or where he fell in love with her, but he did and he was in deep shit. They both were. She was married, he was in a middle of a divorce, she wanted to leave and he didn't want her to. No, he wanted her to stay. But he couldn't be the second violin anymore and neither did she want him to be. Soon, he would be a free man and she; she would still be married to his brother.

Lying on his back he put his hand behind his head, his other was bandaged and he could see that he should probably go and wash it and put a new bandage on.

Hearing her murmur something in her sleep he glanced her way before sighing. His mind wondered back to the past events that brought them in this position.

~Past Event~

She came like every other day when she needed somebody to love. She ringed, he opened and she came in. Usually they didn't say anything, but today was different. As soon as he opened the door she came in said the most unwanted four words a man in love could hear, "We have to talk."

Giving her a confused look at first, he followed her to his living room.

"Sure, what seems to be a problem? Drink?" he asked as he poured some whiskey in his glass. He had a feeling that he would need it. "No. Thanks," was her replay. Gulping the liquid down he nodded, mentioning for her to sit down and she obeyed. They stared at each other for some time. Neither had the courage to hear, what had to be said.

Slowly Kagome lifted her head. You could see that she was crying. Her eyes were puffy, her nose was red and her lips were swollen. She was pale as a ghost, the stress was eating her alive, anybody could tell. Especially InuYasha. Sure he had seen her cry over at Sesshomaru's, but never had he seen her look so unhealthy. Breaking the ice that was between them her lips slowly moved, trembling as she spoke, "We need to end this. Us."

InuYasha had expected that soon their affair would come to an end, yet still, he wasn't prepared to end it, he needed her like he needed air. And that's when he realized; he was in love. Deep in thoughts, trying to figure out if it was ok to keep the woman he loved by his side or just let her go. Thinking of never kissing her, having her in his arms, watching her with his brother… No. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even realize that he broke the glass he had in his hand and the fact that Kagome took his bloody hand in hers and put as much pressure on the cuts as she could to stop the bleeding.

Fixing his gaze on her lovely eyes, he was struck by how glassy they were. She was about to cry. Looking at his hand he realized that he must have scared her.

Their eyes locked, he moved towards her she towards him. Their lips met in a soul-tearing kiss. This was it. The end, even though none of them wished it to be.

A/N: Hope you liked the "we need to break up" scene. It short, I know. But thats basically what I wanted to write about in this chapter.

Next Chapter: Feelin' Way To Damn Good (hint: go and read the lyrics and you might get an idea what will happen next).
