Chapter 12: Disconnected

As Alicia and Kagome were walking back to the castle, Alicia noticed that Kagome was dead silent, and slowed down her pace to see that Kagome was in deep thought. About what, she didn't know, but she really wanted to find out...

"Umm, Kagome, watch out for that-" Alicia called out, but it was to late. The dog demoness hit the tree. Wanting to finish her sentence, she added, "Tree..."

"Oww! The warning beforehand would have been a welcomed one!" Kagome growled in irritation, now gently padding her head with her paw.

"Yeah, well, you shouldn't have been in such deep thought! Pay more attention to your surroundings!" Alicia growled back defensively.

"..." Kagome was silent, again in thought. She was completely oblivious, enough so that when she stepped on a defenseless animal, she didn't notice...

"Anyway, what're you thinking about?" Alicia asked, now concerned.

"Nothing... Why?" Kagome quickly replied.

"Well, first you hit a tree, second you just stepped on an boar, and yes, it's dead, third... You aren't listening to a damn thing I'm saying are you?" Alicia sweat dropped, slightly embarrassed that she had been rambling while her friend wasn't paying her any mind.

"I'm sorry, were you saying something Alicia? I was distracted..."Kagome apologized, trying her hardest to listen to the dragon beside her.

"By what? The ground?" Alicia growled. "You know what? I knew a guy who was just like you and...damn it!" Alicia cursed when she saw Kagome not paying attention to her... again! So she just shut up for about a good ten minutes, and started to sing, trying to keep herself occupied.

((TRAPT))

"Disconnected (Out Of Touch)"

"You never listen to me,
You cannot look me in the eyes.
I have struggled to see
Why its so easy to push me aside..."

Kagome looked at her friend like she was crazy.

"I no longer believe,
That you were ever on my side.
How could you know what I need,
When I'm the last thing on your mind..."

Alicia had a sad note to her singing, which Kagome noticed when she came out of her deep thoughts.

"Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you"

Alicia started to flap her big bat wings, but she never left the ground.

"So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin' by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?"

Kagome understood the meaning behind the song, or, even if it didn't have a meaning, it touched a soft spot in her heart...

"You don't really know me,
I don't think you ever even tried
We're on the same routine
Where you say you never have the time

What do you want me to be?
Do you want me in your life?
I feel so incomplete
You left me to fall behind

Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you"

Soon, the castle came into sight, and there was Sesshomaru and Rin, with the rest of the gang, looking wide-eyed at the dragon.

"So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?

Its too hard to just move on
Its easier said then done
Its too hard to just move on
Its easier said then done"

Eventually, Alicia stopped walking with Kagome, but the dog didn't notice, for all her senses were on Sesshomaru, for his eyes were slightly red, like he shed a tear, and looked a little out of color... I mean, sure he was pale, but now he looked pasty.

"Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you"

In a couple more strides, Kagome was sitting in front of Sesshomaru. Then as if it hit her like a baseball bat, the memories came flooding back to her. ((The memories! THE MEMORIES!!!))

"So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?"

She looked behind her to see Alicia looking at them through half opened eyes, and looking at them, she could tell one thing...

"So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected
When will this cycle end?"

Alicia was about to cry...

"So disconnectedSo disconnected

When will this cycle end?"

As soon as she stopped singing, her large, leathery wings opened, and with one great thrust, she was nearly out of sight. This caused Kagome to turn to Sesshomaru once again, and she growled out one thing.

"We need to talk." she stated, not adding anything else to that sentence.

And with that, Sesshomaru nodded, and Kagome reverted back into her human form, where the spot on her face where Sesshomaru slapped her was still fresh and hurt like a mother fucker, but for now, all she really wanted to do was talk, eat, and play with the kids.
