Is It Really Broken?

Kagome looked out the window. She was supose to hang out with Sango and Miroku today. But, sadly the fair that they were going too was closed due to the rain. And, there hadn't made any other plans. She let out a sad sigh. There wasn't much to do in the rain. At least, she didn't think there was. Staring at Inuyasha, who was sleeping on his dog bed. She couldn't help but smile.

Her whole life had changed since she found him.

Walking over to Inuyasha, she gently started to scratch his ear. It twitched wildly under her touch. Yawning, the silver dog looked up at her. Blinking his tired eyes at her. Kagoem smiled as she said "you know Inuyasha, you've changed my whole life since you came into it. I don't know how, but... I think that you've done more then you seemed too. And, thank you."

She could have sworn that he smiled.

Petting his head, Kagome sighed softly saying "I wonder if those two guys are alright... They've helped so much and... I want to thank them. Inuyasha, am I... strange for liking two different guys?" Inuyasha tilted his head to the side. She guessed that he didn't understand what she meant. Maybe it was better that he didn't.

Scratching behind his ear once more. Kagome whispered "I wish I could talk to Inu again... Even if he's only in my dreams. Or even talk to Yasha. I wonder what ever happened to him. He hasn't tried to come over. I mean... After all... He knows where I live." Sighing, she looked out the window. There was nothing that she could do here. Sighing again, Kagome gave Inuyasha one last scratch behind his ear then walked up stairs to her room.

Inuyasha stared at where Kagome once stood. He knew that he had to talk to her in her dreams again. But, for some reason, his connection was getting weaker. And, he didn't quite understand how or why. Sighing mentaly, he got up and started to wonder around the house. He guessed that Kagome would want to be alone right now. And, he couldn't blame her. There were so many things that she had to adjust too.

'I'm almost done... I... I've almost mended her heart... But, how am I going to get her to fall in love with anyone? No one deserves her... Not... not even me...'

Inuyasha sighed again. He didn't mean too... But, he had fallen for her. If he said it was a mistake to love her, then he'd be an ass for it. But, he couldn't help it. Kagome... she was so pure. And, he wasn't. He's killed. Destroyed. He was tainted. And, now he knew why he was cursed. For, Inuyasha now knew that he deserved to be cursed. Deserved to be thrown into hell. Looking at the stairway, Inuyasha walked backed it. And out the dogy door. There was nothing else that he could do... Not now anyway...

Inuyasha didn't pay attenchen to where he was going. He didn't care where he went. Didn't care that his fur was wet, and clung to him like a second skin. He just didn't care... Nothing mattered to him. Nothing... but Kagome...

Looking at the sky once more, Inuyasha had this on his mind. Did Kagome love Inu, or Yasha... Which side of him did she love the most? And... if she loved his human, and his half demon side... Could... could she love his demon side too? Could she really love all three sides of himself? But, then again... his third half... is nothing but a monster. A blood thirsty beast.

Kagome looked up from her bed, she heard the doog open and shut. Or, she should rather say, the dogy door flap a bit. Smiling, she walked down the stairs and saw that Inuyasha was walking back inside. His fur dripping wet. Smiling, she went and grabbed a towel and started to dry him off. But, she noticed something. His eyes looked so sad. Alone. And scared... Why would Inuyasha feel this way?

Kagome smiled saying "why so down Inuyasha? Your acting like I'll never see you again."

'Because you may not...' Inuyasha thought to himself.

Kagome finished drying Inuyasha off as she happily said "well, Miroku and Sango are coming over. I hope you don't mind their company."

Inuyasha just nodded as he went to his dog bed. There was nothing he could do. Sango and Miroku were her friends. And, he would just have to be glad that they both were human. They couldn't harm her as long as he was around. Then again they both could protect her from anything. From what he could sense, Miroku was a monk. And the girl, Sango was a demon slayer. So... Kagome would be safe...

Sighing softly, Inuyasha just went to slep. A little nap was something he needed. Sighing softly, he went to sleep.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha. Wondering why he seemed so strange. He wasn't acting like himself. It was almost as if something was on his mind. But, what could be on a dogs mind? Sighing, she was starting to get everything ready. Grabbing a few movies. Making the popcorn. Grabbing the chips and dip. She had to make sure that the house was nice and tidy for when her friends arrive. Smiling, she happily started to hum. Sadly though, it was slowly starting to wake Inuyasha.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome. Wondering why she was humming. Only to remember that she was having friends over. Sighing softly, he got up and went up stairs. He had to think. Her heart was almost there... Almost healed. Almost mended... And he wouldn't be needed anymore... Inuyasha suddenly fell on his belly. His body felt like it was burning. He howled in pain. He could hear Kagome running up the stairs. Once he knew that she was near, she gasped.

"Inuyasha?!" She screeched.

His only responds was a whimper.

Kagome ran to his side, and lifted him up and carried him to her bed. She laid him on the bed and rubbed his head as she said "please be alright Inuyasha." His golden eyes stared at Kagome as he whimpered in pain. He had never felt this pain. Not even when he changed into a half demon to be at the store for Kagome. Or, when he became human to save Kagome from Kouga.

Kagoem sighed softly saying "I'll be back to check on you okay Inuyasha? Just rest... Please, just rest." She saw Inuyasha nod, with that, she started to walk down the stairs.

"You alright Kagome?" Asked Miroku. He and Sango had arrived hours ago. And noticed that Kagome had been down for a bit. But, they weren't sure why. Guessing that it had something to do with her dog Inuyasha. They stared at Kagome, wondering if they would ever get a responds from her. But so far, nothing happened. Sighing softly, Miroku said "he'll be okay."

"I don't know what your talking about." Kagome said in a whisper.

"Bull Kagome. We know that your dog wouldn't leave you alone when people are in the house." Said Sango.

Sighing Kagome looked at her friends with worry in her eyes. They knew that she was worried over Inuyasha. He was her friend, and changed so much. Mended her heart. And, they knew that there was more to the dog then what he let on. They could sense something that no one else could. They were surprised that Kagome hadn't sensed it. Maybe, she was so focused on something else, that she couldn't sense it.

When they were about to ask Kagome if she wanted them to check on Inuyasha for her, she had already fallen asleep.

Kagome was walking through the darkness. Trying to figure out what was going on. But, somehow she wasn't sure where she was. And was starting to get scared. This was almost like when she first met Inu. Her eyes darted around. Trying to figure out how she got here. She hadn't been able to come here for what felt like forever.

Finally, she saw something. There was a strange beam of light. Tilting her head, she started to run toward it. Then, she saw something. Something that she never thought she would see. Her eyes widened in fear. But, not for herself.

Chained up to a table was Inu.

His eyes were closed. His body covered in blood. His blood. She wanted to help him. But, she couldn't be sure how. There was a strange demonic laugh. A laugh that sent chills down her spine.

"Now, I have the half demon that can control the most powerful of all demon swords. Soon... Very soon, he'll get the Shikon, and bring it to me."

Kagome wasn't sure who that was. Or, what this 'Shikon' was. It was something new to her. And, she never wanted to find out what this 'Shikon' could do. She had many guesses on what could happen. But, kep her mind from drifting off to what could or would happen. Soon, she saw that Inu's eyes were opening. His smirk in place.

"You'll... never get the Shikon. She's too strong for you to control. Let alone, for you to taint the Shikon. You might as well as give up..." His voice was dry. Rough. Almost like he hadn't had anything to drink in years. And most of all, it sounded weak. Like he couldn't stay awake. Inu pulled at his restrans. Almost as if he was trying to break free. Even though he knew he was too weak to do this.

"She'll fall boy."

"No, she's strong. My miko is stronger then you'll ever know. She's even stronger then me..." Inu whispered.

The voice laughed darkly. It sent a chill around the room. Making Kagome rub her arms, hoping to warm herself. She couldn't believe what was happening. There was no way that she was seeing this. Was this happening? Was this why she hadn't seen Inu in so long? Was he going to be okay? But, who was this 'Miko'?

"She is indeed stronger then you. That was why you fell for her. Is that correct? But, what you don't know boy, is that the only way to get rid of her. Is for you, to kill her."

Inu growled weakly. "I'll never betray her!" He screamed. Only to gasp in pain. His breathing was laboured. And, Kagome wanted to reach out for him. Wanted to help him. Help him with this pain. But, she couldn't. The voice laughed again. And, now Kagome was getting sick of his laughter. Soon, that laughter was replaced by a loud scream. Looking up, Kagome saw that Inu was screaming. A bolt of lightening. A bolt of purple lightening was sent at Inu.

"Inu!" Screamed Kagome.

Inu's screams filled the room. Filled the silence. Soon, the silence engulfed the room once more. Only a cold dark growl filled that. Kagome looked at Inu's face and wanted to scream. His eyes... They weren't cold anymore. The white of his eyes were replaced by blood red. The irises were replaced by a ice blue. The purple jagged stripes on his face... But, the look in his eyes were what scared her. The look of evil. That scared her.

Kagome wanted to scream.

The scene disappeared before her eyes. Soon, only Inu was left. He fell to his knees. Kagome ran to him. Sensing that he was himself again. She held onto him. Wanting to make sure that he was okay. He smiled weakly at Kagome. She could only smile back. "Please tell me that wasn't real Inu. Please... Tell me that wasn't real."

"It was Kagome... but, it hadn't happened. Not yet."

"What do you mean?"

"You have a strong bond to me. I've mended your heart. And for that, I've created a bond to you. A bond... That is soon to break... You don't need me anymore... I'm not needed." Inuyasha whispered weakly.

Kagome couldn't believe this. What did he mean that she didn't need him? She would always need him. He... He meant the world to her. And, Kagome didn't want to lose him. Not now. Not ever. "I don't want you to leave me Inu... You... You can't leave me! I... I still need you." Kagome whispered.

Inu lifted Kagome's chin with his index finger saying "Kagome, I cannot stay. Your heart if almost there. Almost mended... The only thing you need, is to find love... And that, is something you have to do... on your own." And, like that, he kissed her. Only then, for Kagome to wake up.

Kagome's eyes snapped open and started to run up the stairs. Sango and Miroku both screamed at her. Asking what was wrong. But, she didn't answer them. She kept running. Running to see if what she guessed was right. This feeling that she had. It was something, she felt when Inu kissed her in her dream.

Once she arrived to her room, she slammed the door open. And her eyes were wide with confusion. And wonder. And, surprise. Only one word excaped her lips. "Inu... yasha..."
