Masks that Inuyasha Wears
By DemonBlade
Chapter 1
Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled be the face I wear.
Inuyasha looked over the horizon from his perch on the Goshinboku. **sigh.....what a shitty day....**
~*~*~*~*~*FLASH BACK*~*~*~*~*~
Earlier that day he went to pick Kagome up from her time. When he got there she wasn't homw so he followed her scent to a park. There he found her with **That Hobo guy....**. Hojo and Kagome were sitting on a bench in front of a huge lake. Inuyasha hid in the brush across the lake where he could see them perfectly. The boy put his arms around Kagome and hugged her to him and the young miko cuddled into him. From across the lake Inuyasha watch the sweet scean with no small amount of dispair. Hojo twisted so that his face was an inch away from Kagome's and leaned in. He kissed her. Worse, from where Inuyasha was it looked like she was kissing back. The inu-hanyou felt his heart shatter into a million pieces.
~*~*~*~*~FLASH BACK~*~*~*~*~
**Heh....my heart is shattered....just like the Shikon no Tama. It hurts so bad.more than Sesshomaru running me throught with his talons.** Inuyasha's eyes were brimmed with tears and he laughed bitterly. **I never told her any way.What good would it do?! After all....what respective miko..hells, what respective MIKO would love a filthy half-breed....?!** Tears were flowing unbidden down his face. **I'm crying.**
For I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
masks I'm afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.
From under him he heard Kagome calling him. Inuyasha wiped his tear quickly and took on his gruff, indifferent tone. A mask.
"What is it, wench?"
Kagome huffed in annoyance. "Jeeze. I just came here to tell you that dinner's going to be served."
"So?"
"With or without you, Dog-boy."
He glared down at her from his branch.
"Go suck a stick."
"Why don't you go fetch one?"
"Bitch."
"Baka."
"Wench."
"Dog-turd."
He growled at that one. That was that damn wimpy-wolf's name for him. "Go fuck off you sorry excuse for a miko. You can't even get as good as Kikyo, you pathetic reincarnation."
Kagome's face went from anger, to shock, to hurt, and then was a mix of pain and betrayal.
"Y-you bastard," she whispered in a pained voice. Inuysaha backed away a little, knowing what was coming next. "OSUWARI!" He thumped to the ground. She shouted in a chocking voice," OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!!!!!!!"
Inuyasha was in a three feet deep Inuyasha shaped crater moaning as Kagome ran away crying.
**I have to stay like this....I have to be crule!** he thought savagely. **I have to stay strong. I need this mask. It'll protect me and eventually she'll see.....she'll see that I'm doing her a big favor....**
Pretending is an art that's second nature to me,
but don't be fooled.
For God's sake don't be fooled.
Inuyasha walked to Kaede-baba's hut after he was able to walk. He was greated by the faces of his companions. Miroku, Sango, Shippo......Kagome. **None of them knew and none of them will!** he promised in his head. **None of them can get close to me.....none of them!** He sat down Indian style on the flor and threw them a 'feh'. **I'll just keep pretending.....I know how to do that. Just keep pretending.**
I give you the impression that I'm secure,
that confidence is my name and coolness is my game,
that the water's calm and I'm in command,
and that I need no one.
But don't believe me.
Miroku spoke, "So Inuyasha, would you like to go fishing with Shippo and I?"
Inuyasha gave him a look that clearly stated 'Id rather be dismembered' and then simply stated, "No."
Then he walked out of the hut.
