LAST TIME ON UNBLESSED:
He smiled fully for the first time in three months. "What are friends for" he found himself saying as he inhaled the scent of roses as he's blood once again came to a boil, but he pushed it away as the shrine came into few.
Chapter 11-Window to the Unblessed III
As night silently fell, the inu-hanyou with his sleeping charge landed without a sound at the top of the aged shrine's stairs. Taking in the moonlit shrine grounds the male found it surprisingly serene and blissful then eerie and haunting with past unpleasant memories.
Turning to the house Inuyasha walked toward it and seeing the seasoned houshi through the window knew the door would be open for him. And as soon as the hanyou stepped up to the front door it slide open and greeting the pair of misfits was a grinning wildly Ming-Jiji.
"I see you kept your word; good."
"Feh, course I did; I never go back on my word" huffed Inuyasha stepping inside while Ming's smile broadened.
"Good to hear it" and seeing Sachi curled up into the hanyou's fire-rat haori his smile became loving as his eyes sparkled with love and joy as his cloudy grey gaze set upon the young girl. The smile faltered and the eyes became concerned as Ming's eyes took in the crimson bandages on the serenely snoozing miko's foot.
Inuyasha saw the houshi's concern in his face and swirling eyes and knew what he was looking at. "She stepped on some glass; she's fine. But we should change the bandages and clean it properly."
"Hai" answered Ming and let the way to the washroom.
Following without hesitation and walking into the washroom Inuyasha placed the slumbering miko on the white marble countertop softly so not to wake her, yet did anyway. The silver eared hanyou cringed thinking Sachi would be annoyed knowing she would be in her words pampered over as he looked her over.
"Mmm…" moaned Sachi as she rouse from her slight sleep lining against the mirror of the counter her face turned away from Inuyasha. The young girl shifted her weight and finding the protective and comforting warmth was no longer there. Emerald-indigo orbs fluttered open with the softness of wings to find herself in the washroom of the Higurashi house. Seeing red on the corner of her groggy vision she turned her head Sachi saw the only person she knew would be there. "Inuyasha?" She said blinking away the persistent grogginess.
"Yea Sachi, it's me" came the soft voice of a not irate inu-hanyou. "You're back at the shrine if you haven't noticed; Ming's here too."
Nodding her head then looked up at the hanyou and his honey-amber jeweled orbs. "How long have I been asleep?"
He shrugged. "Not long, so let see that foot…unless you want loose it?" and the rough and tough guy facade came back in his voice and attitude.
Sachi could help but raise a brow at the sudden change of attitude; the look was either ignored or went unnoticed as Inuyasha took hold of Sachi's foot with surprising gentleness she had yet to see as he looked over the wound.
"So are you my nurse now Inuyasha" she asked then ended up laughing at the very pissed off look on the hanyou's face as he looked up at her.
He growled narrowing his eyes. "I am not your nurse thing or your healer. I'm just covering my ass 'cause if Sango gets wind of this she's going to beat me to a pulp for not looking after you!!"
The miko merely smirked head cocked to the side. "Sure…just keep telling yourself that Inuyasha; I'm sure you'll convince yourself sooner or later." Seeing the held back fury in Inuyasha's molten gold eyes flaring like fire only created laugher that Sachi could suppress. "Geez Inuyasha can't you take a joke?!"
The inu-hanyou simply blinked a blank face as a single silver ear twitched as if it was shooing off a pesky fly. "A…joke?"
Sachi's face fell as the simple comment. 'He doesn't know what a joke is? How fucking serious is this guy!?' she thought as her own blank expression met Inuyasha's. Smiling sweetly finally Sachi knew that this might break the ice between them more.
Ming seeing the pair before him seeming to be getting along he took his leave to start a simple stew with some other sides. Sachi and Inuyasha had forgotten Ming-Jiji's presence and hadn't taken notice of his silent departure.
Still smiling sweetly Sachi nodded. "Yea a joke. It's kind'a like teasing in a way. You say something but you really don't mean it or know it not to be true. It's a way of having fun with someone; playful poking fun at something or someone you consider friend."
Inuyasha with a thoughtful look across hi face nodded. "I remember Kagome mentioning something like that."
The modern day miko smiled innocently as her hanyou friend carefully cleaned and rewrapped her right foot even to her dislike of being pampered over, but knowing fighting a stubborn male would only end up not in her favor kept silent till he was done.
"So will I live Mr. Doctor, Sir?"
Inuyasha straightened huffing and looking away.
"I'll take that as a yes" she said a giggle muffled as she tried holding it in as she slide from the countertop to stand on her one good foot. Placing her right foot down Sachi pure pressure on it slightly and visibly winced but tried to hide most of it. 'Damn, it hurts to walk; hopefully I better by morning' she thought annoyed with herself.
Inuyasha watching intently like a hawk saw the distortion of pain flicker across the flawless sun-kissed face of the young modern day miko; he mentally sighed. "Here, I'll carry you." Bending at the knees he went to take Sachi in his arms once again.
"No, no Inuyasha that's ok; I can walk on my own" Sachi said lightly pushing against his chest shacking her head.
A little hurt he shook it off not letting it show. "Ha-ha…and that flinch of pain on your face when you just put a little pressure on your foot was just a fragment of my imagination."
Looking into shinning orbs Sachi knew this battle was lost; she couldn't denim that it hurt. If she lied he'd know it by smelling it or seeing it in her eyes. So she just bowed her head in defeat remaining silent as she stood gracefully and well balanced on her left foot.
Smelling the scent of defeat in the air he grinned at her bowed head. 'So she doesn't except help easily' he commented to himself storing it for the future the sighed out load. "If you don't want me carry you let me at least help you to the bed."
The flaming head shot up in surprise, then a smile graced her heart-shaped face as her emerald-indigo jeweled orbs became brighter and shinning like stars with happiness. "Mm" she said nodding.
Awkwardly taking her arm Inuyasha lifted it over and around his neck. Feeling her weight line on him, Inuyasha found she weight way lighter then when carry her like she was just a feather considering her feminine muscular build. Shifting his silver mane out of the way Inuyasha reached around the small of Sachi's back to place a strong hand around her petite waist, all the while trying terribly not to blush. Yet still the blood ran to his cheeks painting them in scarlet.
Sachi too feeling the awkwardness of the moment stiffened. Feeling a hand around her waist turned a hundred shades of red in a matter of a single minute being so close to the creature that confused her and annoyed her the most. He led her to the room of his past lover white she was half carried, half dragged there on a limping foot. 'This must be very painful for him' Sachi thought as she risked a side long glace at the boyish hanyou beside her; he's face was expressionless.
Reaching the bedroom door Inuyasha swung it wide with a small kick while both hands busy gripping the wounded girl around the waist and left wrist. 'Damn it' he snapped to himself at the sight of the shards from the shattered glass still littering the floor. 'Ming you lazy ass old geezer! Why didn't you clean this up!?'
The flaming haired miko found that her eyes were drawn to the shimmer of glass that lay on the plushy faded pink carpet. She slid her from Inuyasha's grip and stepped from where he stood at the entrance to the room stone still. He had let her go limping into the room and watched as Sachi kneeled before the mass of glistening glass shards.
"What happened?" she asked a load softly to no one. "Where did this glass come from?" Her face turned to the hanyou who stood still as a statue with an expression of apology quivering in his shinning orbs, yet his lips remained motionless and unresponsive.
She turned back to the pile and picked up a piece of glass. Eyeing it thoughtfully her mind came to a single conclusion as Sachi's eyes began to darken in shock and pain. Whipping her head to her desk her mane of fire flying about her she found one single picture missing there.
'NO!' she cried out in her secluded mind as she leapt to her feet her wound and pain forgotten in her haste for the heartbreaking truth. Her eyes turned the shade of the deepest part of the ocean as the realization of her horror came nearer as she starred down at the back of it as it lay face down. "No" she croaked in a whispered never realizing she had spoken.
Her shaky hand lifted the smooth polished black marble frame from where it lay and slowly turned it over to find her horrors realized. Uncontrollably she sank to her knees in shock and heart wrenching pain, the frame still in her shaking hands. Tears swelled in her indigo grief filled eyes and flowed down her cheeks in a mournful cascade of bitterness.
Inuyasha stepped into the room finally an stood behind the miko that and sunk to the floor with a hand lightly on her quivering shoulder. 'I can't believe I'm doing this' he thought mentally cringing. "Sachi…gomen na-"
"Get out" came a soft, icy, cruel voice that dripped with hate, scorn grief and rage like venom.
Inuyasha grew rigid with shock as the hold on Sachi's shoulder disappeared as he let go as his golden jeweled orbs widened in hurt and nervousness. 'Her aura is full of pain and shame painted crimson with hate' thought Inuyasha as he took a slow step back words from the words the flaming young girl had said before him yet he didn't want to believe he heard them. "W-What did you say?" His voice was shaky with unease and he hated it.
The head of the miko slowly turned to look at the hanyou over her left shoulder. Soul piercing orbs of hollow, deep emerald and indigo starred at the golden spheres with a frigid numbness it made a shiver of the slightest fear travel up Inuyasha's spine like a spider. Sachi's face and eyes were vacant of the happiness and the shine that had been there just a moment ago.
'Her eyes are emotionless and as hard as diamonds and just as cold. She seems hollow of all life.' The pair just starred at each other waiting with patience for the other to move or simply make a mistake. 'Her eyes; Sachi's eyes call for the emptiness of death!' Inuyasha thought in shock of that realization. The inu-hanyou could look away did want to look away from such haunting and death crying eyes.
"Sachi, what did you say" he asked again finally.
Sachi's eyes never wavered from Inuyasha's. "I said get out; did you hear me?" The hollow and emotionless young miko stood deep emerald-indigo never leaving cautious amber; she turned to him and he took a swift two steps back hand still out as if it was still grasping Sachi's shoulder. "You broke something most precious to me."
Inuyasha saw the raw power condensing around Sachi like a build up of storm clouds and unease grew as well as his confusion. "Sachi, it was just some glass it can be replaced!" Seeing the emerald jeweled spheres narrow he recognized his horrific and possible death threatening error.
"Replace?" snarled Sachi as her eyes became slits mimicking that of a cat in her fury. "How do you expect me to replace it!!? MY OKAA-SAN IS DEAD!!!!" She had with such flaming fury Inuyasha swore he saw the flicker of fire in her curtain of silken hiar. "GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU!!!!!"
The silver eared hanyou saw the bleeding of scarlet at the brims of the girl's eyes and mentally cringed while holding his ground physically; he had to get her back. "Sachi get it together!!"
Sachi merely growled barring now her long fangs; she had said nothing while raising her razor sharp clean and gleaming claws read to mercilessly spill blood. Inuyasha knew he wouldn't stand a chance again the raging creature before him. He finally knew what he looked like when he transformed when Tetsusiaga was not in his hand or by his side. How his friends were able to stay by his side he had not a clue.
"Sachi!! STOP THIS!!!!" Rang out a voice with angelic ring yet with a strength and temper Inuyasha knew only to match one.
"Ka-" he started but cut off.
"AAAAH!" screeched Sachi as she held her head giving more screams of pain as her knees gave out so she collapsed to them to the pink carpet floor. Even holding her head out of view to Inuyasha hunched over her forehead placed against the bedroom floor, "AAAAAAH!
The hanyou stood where he was stone still had the sudden change of occurrences. Sachi had gone from cheerful and bright to depressed and furious; from ningen to youkai in a mater of one minute. Inuyasha was so shocked he found himself unable to move for the first time since he was a child running from youkai.
"Inuyasha, go to the Goshinboku! I will speck with you there" rang out Kagome's voice again shacking the inu eared boy from his dazed state.
Inuyasha bulleted for the door white a stray glance at Sachi who still kneeled on the floor holding her head as her body convulsed with painful muscular spasm. He left the room to fly down the stairs and becoming nothing but a flash of bright red and silver speeding away to fling open the door leaping into the courtyard once to find himself landing in the strong protective branches of the 500 year old Goshinboku.
With Sachi:
Rising her mane of fire from the floor her face streaked with tears of pain and shame, Sachi saw at the last instant to see a figure dressed all in red with a silver mane flee her bedroom and vanish. Sachi bowed her head in her grief and shame. She had just become friends and she had to scare him away.
"But what was that? What's happening to me!? All I felt was my blood coming to a boil to the point where it hurt! I…couldn't suppress the pure…and untainted feeling to kill."
A shimmer of blue light as the world changed to shades of blue, indigo and navy as the spirit of Kagome dressed in her school uniform stood before a still hunched over Sachi.
"That was your youkai soul taking over" Kagome said coming to kneel by Sachi. "You're youkai's power is nearly limitless and uncontrollably so. You must not let all your youkai out or there will be no going back."
Sachi found no words to say for they all were stuck in her throat; she nodded slightly telling Kagome that she understood as she slowly stood, finally making words and sounds. "Airigotu for stopping me; no mater how I resisted I couldn't stop myself. All I wanted to do was kill, but it was something I wanted to kill…it was a someone…"
Kagome nodded, her cheerful chocolate brown eyes closed. "That part of your soul will do whatever it takes to gain control, you must not let it! It feeds off you hate and rage."
Once again Sachi found herself speechless and only able to nod.
Kagome's serious look left her face as she smiled. "I'll do what I can to help you, but right now I must go" and then in a sparkle of blue spark she was gone as the colors of life bleed back into Sachi's vision.
The modern day miko collapsed to her dark bed her eyes lidded and shameful at the vision of Inuyasha running from her. Her emerald spheres found themselves drawn to her guitar in the corner of the room. Unlike most of her things her Ibanez Gem wasn't black, like her personality and past. Its ashen body whit a built in handle gleamed purely in the light of the overhead. The whammy bar of the guitar was gold plated along with the pickups, strings and tuning keys. The background of the instrument's neck was ebony while trailing upward from the body to head was a shining vine made from abalone. All together it was a gorgeous guitar worth a thousand dollars in American cash and then some.
Sachi had taken up guitar when she was in her first home after her okaa-san's death. Then through the years and slowly coming up with money she had bought her Gem; it was one of her most precious possessions. Seeing it as she sat up from where she lay Sachi took hold of the musical instrument and lifted the strap around her neck. Plugging it into the amp giving it a little distortion and lower the volume placed a CD in her stereo that had only the music of the song she had written over time.
As the sound came through the speakers Sachi began to sing while playing the guitar for the song.
With Inuyasha:
The peaceful calm of the late summer breeze lulled him into a serene doze. The breeze swayed the leaves of the ancient leaves with gentleness of a fairy's magical touch. The rustle and sound of the wispy wind reminded the hanyou of a flue as he sat surprised at his own patience with the girl that had his heart, yet was dead.
"Just like Kagome" he whispered aloud to no one particular hanging his head more.
The breeze played the green foliage like nature's natural flute. 'Flute' he thought as the memory of such a gorgeous sound came from the flute as Inuyasha's gaze at the closely coming black moon through the emerald-indigo leaves that matched surprisingly Sachi's eyes.
"Flute…" he whispered a load as an image of Sachi with a soft smile on her face as her eyes shinned like perfect bright emeralds that they mimicked. Then the soft and innocent smile turned into a snarl as the glint of deadly thirsty fangs appeared above her rosy lower lip. The once shinning, cheerful and full of life eyes were gone a predator glare and consumed in raging scarlet.
A shiver trailed up Inuyasha's back as he shock his head to reed the horrific image from his mind. What had caused the dramatic change in Sachi? The young man pondered but no answers came to his overly confused brain.
"You must not be hard on her" rang out a peaceful voice. "She's has experienced many changes suddenly before now, she knew and experienced so little of what's happening to her."
And with a suddenly with a flicker of a pure cobalt light all Inuyasha saw was in shades of blues. There sitting before him her knees drawn up to her chest, arms crossed upon her knees, chin resting on them with a cheerful smile was none other then Kagome, but she too was in shades of blue, but her eyes. Kagome's warm, cheerful, life filled eyes till remained their heavenly golden-coffee color that Inuyasha loved so much.
"K-Kagome…?" he said in an emotional croak.
Her priceless smile broadened. "Inuyasha…its nice being able to talk to you again; its been awhile."
"Kagome, is that really you?"
She giggled a sad giggle while nodding.
Without recollection of doing so Inuyasha found himself propelled through the night crisp air as he went to embrace his koi…his Kagome. As he's strong arms went to take her into his arms, all he felt was a strange tingling cold sensation as he's eyes flung open in heartbreaking horrific shock.
Hearing a soft mournful whimper with his sensitive hearing looked down and found the painted azure Kagome crying as her chin seemed to rest on his shoulder. As he backed away the inu-hanyou saw his clawed hands weren't embracing his koishii, but were reaching through her. He lurched back in traumatized realization. He could not have her; he could not embrace his Kagome ever again.
Golden-amber eyes looked at his clawed hands in defeat. 'I can't touch her; I can't reach her' were his mournful thoughts. Looking up Inuyasha saw that Kagome was crying bitterly, yet he could not smell them, along with her herby yet floral scent. "Kagome…" he whispered as a sigh. 'What can I tell her? I can't tell her not to worry or everything's alright 'cause its not.'
"Inuyasha?"
Oh how he loved hoe his name seemed to flow off the spirit miko's lips making it sound like it was an honor to be named such. Nodding for the young girl to continue she did.
Kagome's eyes darkened in sadness of the saddest kind; the lost of a loved one. "Inuyasha, you must forgive her, the picture and frame were very special to her; precious to her as much as her books of your father."
"I still don't-"
Kagome huffed as the hanyou grinned knowing she had picked up the habit from him. "What you don't get is that Sachi's okaa-san is dead; died 6 years ago and Sachi blames herself for her death. She has yet to come to terms so you must be gentle." The cobalt miko laughed lightly. "Like you can be gentle to anyone or anything."
The inu-hanyou couldn't help but pout as his silver furry inu ears drooped. "I was gentle with you…koishii."
Kagome laughed at the pout and it was full of joy and pleasure. "True enough my koishii, but you must be gentle and cautious. She is a ticking-time-bomb read to go off when she is near death or become emotionally unbalanced, like she just did."
Inuyasha scratched his head in confusion. "So what happened to Sachi's okaa-san?"
Kagome's face closed at the question. "It's not my place to say."
About to argue with Kagome, Inuyasha opened his mouth but shut it fast with a clank of his fangs. Riding the wind slowly and forlornly swirling in the night was a sound. Not just any sound, found out the hanyou as he cocked his ears to the sound; it was music, beautiful music yet sorrowful.
It was a pure sound that didn't hurt his ears but vibrated in his inu ears peacefully. A growl of pleasure came from his throat as his lids threatened to shut as a voice bleed into the music playing in his head. Then feeling himself lulling to sleep shook his head and turned to the spirit of Kagome. "What is that?!"
"Sachi; she's singing" smiled Kagome. "I must go; I'm running out of time."
"Wait Kagome" cried out the amber eyes hanyou as he watched her begin to fade away once more right before his eyes. "Will I see you again?" It was a silent plea to see her, to hear her, to some how feel her presence when she was nothing but a spirit now.
"I don't know. I'm loosing strength quickly just to keep Sachi under control." Kagome saw the bitter sadness in Inuyasha's honey-amber spheres and the glisten of unshed and hidden tears that he forbid to be shed for any reason. "But never forget koishii, I'm always watching; I just want you to move on and be happy, you rightfully deserve it, Inuyasha…"
With a flicker of sapphire light she was gone as cobalt sparks floated to the ground only to vanish instantly with contact with any object. Inuyasha paid attention to the shades of the sky leave his vision to return to his former, pure, sharpened verity of color. Once again he watched his love leave him; it was no different then Kikyou.
'Except' he thought, 'Kagome wants me to move on and be happy while Kikyou would do anything to drag me down into the pits of Hell with her.' Then again the music swelled to live in his head as Sachi's pure, gorgeous voice reached him.
Leaping from the ancient tree the hanyou sped across the moonlit courtyard as the heavenly orb in the sky gave off his pale light to shine down on his back. Swiftly grasping hold of a single branch of the sakura tree that was planted outside Kagome's room window he flung himself into it. The tree bark was rough and hard beneath his hands and feet as he watched through the open window that led into the female teenager's room.
Sachi stood in the center of her room cast in darkness letting the moon shine its light into the room. Her fingers flew with slow grace and precision of a true artist across the neck of the guitar. She sang into a mic that was in a stand attached to an amp to amplify her stunning voice.
Inuyasha now sitting with his legs crossed in a relaxed yet guarded position stuffed his clawed hands up his haori sleeves as his ears twitched in earnest to hear the voice that flowed like water with power to wash away time with the slightest sound of her voice. The voice of an angel; a fallen angel snag before him; the voice of heaven and Kami sang to him through the young unblessed girl that had had taken him, a cursed, unblessed hanyou as a friend.
Inuyasha clearing his mind of all outside thought paid heed to the singing miko who sang a song that shattered his heart into more shards then the Shikon no Tama, yet giving him in return something he could not recognize.
Missing: Evanescence
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again
Maybe some day you'll look up,
And be conscious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even if I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now
Though I die to know you love me,
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Ah, ah, ah
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed,
I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you,
I wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now
Though I die to know you love me,
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something missing me?
Aah, aah, ah
Sachi came to a slow mournful end as the music to the song ended as it started the next song. Pressing stop and ejecting the disk then turned to her other CDs that had been recording it all while she sang. Pressing the shinning silver play button Sachi's voice clean and clear came through the speakers with great sound and balance for being a badly made and constructed by a teenage girl writing her own songs. She put away her Gem away gently in its stand near its amp.
Seeing the glassless picture still laying on her desk the young miko sighed holding the ebony marble frame to her chest. "I should of never gotten that angry with him; Inuyasha dropped it accidently" she whispered kneeling and folding her legs gracefully beneath her as her back remained to the window as the moon washed down on her back, still oblivious to her watcher.
Inuyasha, who was getting over the depression that the music had forced on him in a terrifying force, heard the soft whisper. He smelled her shame and her wish to apologize to him. He knew too, that he should apologize, but that word had never come easily with him…ever. He sighed as he went into a crouch and silently flew to the window and landed on the windowsill.
The hanyou's shadow flowed over the paled and darkened room of the miko. His silhouette flowed over her and stretched nearly to the door giving the girl the notification of his presence kneeling in the window with one hand gripping the window frame while the other lay on his knee.
Sachi's senses instantly flared with the presence of a strong aura; the shadow casting itself across her floor and her person. A gasp from her throat as she recognized the ebony outline of triangular objects sticking out of the top of the youkai's head. As one twitched at the sound of her gasp Sachi knew her assumption was absolutely correct; she spun.
Surprised emerald-indigo met enlightened honey-amber as a single word left her rosy lips in a soft whisper that the heightened hearing of the boy could barely hear it. "Inuyasha!"
The hanyou couldn't help but smirk, and the dazed look on the female's pale face. "Your singing is really nice; sing something again."
Sachi's eyes sparkled with pride as her innocent smile play carelessly across her face. 'Maybe it's a way of apologizing' she thought standing slowly her face black but upon looking on his worried, apologetic face Sachi couldn't help but feel her smile become greater with sweetness as her head was cocked to one side playfully. "Sure, I have the perfect song for you."
Inuyasha felt the tug on the corner of his mouth and for a second he fought the urge to smile openly, but knowing he couldn't totally fight it off he gave in. Growing slowly, but surely was a small cock-eyed smile, as he leapt from the windowsill to crawl upon Kagome's and Sachi's bed crosslegged watching closely to the strange half-Japanese girl.
"This song" started Sachi filtering through her CD then stuck one in her stereo then headed to her guitar. "This song is Crash and Burn; I wrote it myself a while back for…" the young miko trailed as a sad sparkle shown in her jeweled orbs.
"For…" inquired Inuyasha eye brow cocked upward.
Sachi shook her head. "No, nothing; I just wrote it so here we go!"
Pressing the shinning silver play button again music came out to reach both ningen and hanyou ears. Then as the golden strings were plucked Inuyasha watched paralyzed, not daring to blink or look away for fear of missing something.
Crash and Burn: Savage Garden
When you feel all alone,
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please,
To tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
Its hard to find relieve, when people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door,
And you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call,
If you jump I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn you're not alone
When you feel all alone,
And loyal friends are hard to find
You call it a one way street with monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away,
And you feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call,
If you jump I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn you're not alone
'Cause there is always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again,
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone,
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please,
To tame your wild, wild heart
Let me be the one you call,
If you jump I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn you're not alone
Let me be the one you call,
If you jump I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn you're not alone
Inuyasha sat silently astounded beyond belief. He had recognized the voice now and where he first the voice; it was Sachi's voice that had rang out that night when the bandits attack. 'She's the one…that made my heart ache…' he thought face blank in shock. Here was the angel that sang out to him making his heart twist painfully with her musical notes and words; here was the girl he had searched for that night when the song came to an end. 'She's the fallen angel!' He bowed his head, he understood now why she fought him discussing pain and loose; she had been there, her okaa-san was dead. 'But not right in front of her like-'
"Inuyasha..?" interrupted Sachi wrapping a knuckle on the suspiciously quit hanyou's head scattering Inuyasha's thoughts. "Anyone in there…helloooo" she said again taking a fuzzy puppy ear between her fingers pulling slightly softly speaking in to it to get more of a guaranty of an answer. "Helloooo…puppy-boy…you in there or have you finally lost your marbles?"
A growl came from the hanyou as an angry vein pulsed at his temple. Retching himself away, he slapped the miko's hand away. "Don't touch!" he snapped rising to his feet placing the Tetsusiaga in it's rightful place at his side. "And…I haven't…lost my marbles…"
Sachi saw how he stumbled over the words and knew intently that the fraise was foreign to him; it made her smile and her eyes twinkle with laughter. She had to suppress the laughter that wanted to come out of her mouth.
"It mean you've lost you mind; gone insane…you know lost it."
"I haven't lost my mind! I was just surprised by the song!!"
Sachi beamed reminding Inuyasha of the sun. "You liked it them?"
Inuyasha looked at her and into her emerald eyes and nodded as he went to the window and crouched in its frame. He went to leap from the bedroom window, but was stopped by the soft whisper of his name coming from rosy lips.
"Inuyasha…why don't you stay the night; have dinner with Ming and I and get a peaceful night sleep…I'm sure you could use it" Sachi said softly and sweetly like the spring time blossoms falling while starring up at the amber of his eyes that peered at her but rather her hands that lay open and palm up the cresses of her hands easily seen in the shadowed night. Unable to hold the gaze any longer she looked down at them.
The inu-hanyou saw her nervousness and much as he smelled it. 'This is probably her way of apologizing' he thought slipping from the window to stand before the nervous girl who still didn't look up at him even when Inuyasha's shadow cast over her overwhelming and vanishing her own silhouette. "I guess it wouldn't hurt."
His calm voice shocked the girl as much as his answer as she shot up her head in surprise to look up at his face once again. Soon a smile graced her features as she nodded and turned to the white wood panel leading the way.
Sachi led the way, the smell of fish fuming the house air made her stomach growl and she could help but blush knowing Inuyasha had heard and could see the raised eyebrow in her head. Descending the stairs with a inu-hanyou in tow the young miko entered the kitchen and dinning room to find a fairly large dinner laid out for the three of them.
"Ming-Jiji…this is…so large…and delicious looking, but I don't think we can eat all of it…" Sachi said looking over the food covering the table.
Ming like always just smiled when he knew something that Sachi did not; she saw this and tapped her foot in annoyance. The smile on the elder's face widened at the annoyed young miko.
"My dear Sachi, I didn't know how much of cooking to do, so I made extra for when I'm not here when you may or may not be here. Besides my dear girl…" Ming pointed to the already sitting Inuyasha that was inhaling the food more then eating it; Sachi made a face. "We have a teenage hanyou boy to feet" he said in English behind his hand to Sachi.
Sachi's laughter ran out chiming through the house like bells and the soft ring of a temple gong. Inuyasha, at the sound of such a heavenly laughter looked up food crumbs all over his face. Upon seeing this, the flame haired girl broke down in laughter clutching her stomach as her knees gave out and she flopped to the floor hysterical as tremors of laughter racked her fragile form.
Finally after ignoring the deadly amber glare from Inuyasha Sachi sobered and she and Ming sat themselves to eat the enormous meal. Fish, rice, pickles, soup with noodles, some chicken and in a small bowl to Inuyasha's right elbow was a bowl of yellow looking pickle things.
"Ming…what's that at Inuyasha's right?" Sachi asked pointing to the bowl full of yellow things that were placed between her and the hanyou.
Ming smiled and chuckled. "I heard from a certain okaa-san that a certain young man liked pickled radish."
"PICKLED RADISH!!!! WHERE??!" Cried out the inu eared boy his eyes shinning gas they fell upon the cobalt bowl holding the yellowish radish. Grabbing the bowl while lining his silver mane head back Inuyasha downed the whole bowl in one mouthful and a sing swallow.
Sachi starred wide-eyed and dumbstruck.
Inuyasha seeing that Sachi's eyes were on him and wide as that of a neko he figured she had wanted some, but refused to care. "If you wanted some so bad, you shouldn't have said anything."
The young miko glared. "You gotta be kidd'in me!? These things are nasty…YUCK!!!"
"Then stop stare'in!!"
"Oh I'm sorry! I just never saw a baka hanyou stuff his face like he was some barn yard dog!!"
Inuyasha eyes narrow. "Oi, wench what's that supposed to mean, barn yard dog!?" He rouse from his chair, hands planted firmly on the flat surface of the table while his burning amber eyes glared at Sachi who remained unfazed by the intense glare.
Sachi huffed shrugging off the glare that was scorching fire. "Just saying you're better off on some farm doing stuff a little doggy should be doing." She had said it in a mocking baby voice twirling her pointer finger around the fuzzy white triangles of flesh atop Inuyasha's head.
"Grrrr" he growled forming fists fuming. 'This bitch is more annoying then Kagome ever was' he said to himself in frustration. Pushing aside his chair turning fully to tower over the fiery girl that barely met his shoulders; he went to open his mouth to send back a insult of his own, but a certain elderly houshi cut him off.
"Enough children" Ming half yelled massaging a temple whit his eyes closed.
"We are not children" snapped back the conflicting pair in unison. Seeing that they spoke they turned to each other glaring fire and daggers. Huffing greatly they turned their back on each other arms crossed before their chest.
Ming sighed deeply. "You both act like children to me." The houshi rouse his hands in his sleeves whit a stern look on his face that told the teenagers to obey his next words. "I want no more fight tonight, clear? And Sachi make the couch so Inuyasha as a place to sleep tonight."
"What!? Why me?! He'll just jump into a tree to roust there for the night!" protested the emerald eyed miko as the hanyou grinned enjoying the miko's well deserved distress, but the grin plummeted at the rousting comment.
"Do I look like some fucking bird to you!!!?"
"You do it all the time so yea, you do!" snarled the irate miko her power sparking around her form as she raised herself to her tip-toes leering at the nuisance of a hanyou before her.
"Why you-"
"Enough!!!" yelled Ming. Sachi and Inuyasha immediately fell silent at the old ningen in shock. "Sachi, do as I ask" he turned to Inuyasha as Sachi stomped off fuming as curses fell from her mumbling mouth. "And I want you Inuyasha to stop being so mocking."
"Good luck with that one" yelled Sachi from the living room.
The honey-amber orbs narrowed as the owner snarled. "Shut it wench!!!"
The houshi and hanyou heard an angry growl then a malevolent chuckle; Inuyasha shivered. "Hey Inuyasha…SIT BOY!!!"
CRASH!!!
Ming looked down at the moaning flattened hanyou, let out a sigh. "This is going to be a long night for them. Thank Kami I'll be sleeping at my home tonight." And after finishing clearing the table and putting away the few left-over's waved and wish a good night to Sachi and Inuyasha and nearly ran from the Higurashi Shrine.
Sachi waving goodbye to the houshi as he left lined against the doorframe to the kitchen grinning madly at the sat inu. "That's a good boy! Maybe if you're good I'll give you a doggy treat!
Inuyasha slowly and slightly painfully raised his head from where he lay a snarl on his irate face. "You…are so FUCKING DEAD!!!"
Sachi grinned as she turned to the living room the load foot falls of Inuaysha followed her as eh let her aura reach out to his and felt he was furious but holding it back, she sighed and waved to the couch that was now made into a bed. "You can sleep here Inuyasha. Nothing much but better then dirt I imagine or a tree…so good night." Waving goodbye she headed to her bedroom. 'I can't believe I'm doing this…' she thought mentally smacking herself as she turned to the stone figure standing there starring at the couch. "Sleep tight, Inuyasha" she said whit a while then vanished into the shadows of the stairwell.
Inuyasha looked up as she faded away into shadow. He sat himself so he was lining against the couch with Tetsusiaga propped against his shoulder as eh slowly began to nod off. "Good night…sleep tight."
