Burst into Song
Chapter 2: 'Losing Grip' on Reality
Hey! I, the author, would like to thank you for looking at my fic. It's
probably no good, but please read and review!
Summary: A spell has been cast onto the members of the Inu-tachi,
making them express their true feelings through song. Secrets will be
revealed and status' of friendships will change...(Kag/Inu and San/Mir
pairings)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha (Kagome does), or any other characters
from the original story. Kitsune is my own character, so I do own her, but I
also don't own any of the songs mentioned in this chapter. Basically, I
own nothing except the clothes on my back, and my little imaginary
person...how sad...
Key:
"Wassup, my homies?!" are spoken words
'Damn, she's fine!' are thoughts
[Miroku is such a bishie!!!] are my little stupid comments
ON WITH THE STORY...
While Sango and Miroku talked in hushed voices a few yards away in the forest, InuYasha and
Kagome were left to recover from shock by themselves. InuYasha was the first to come beck to his
senses. "Well, that was unexpected. I wonder what posessed her to do that?"
"I-I don't know! But...wow..." Kagome said with admiration. "I wish I could sing like that!"
She started to wonder what it would be like if she was the singer in a band, while walking away. She
was totally oblivious to the fact that she was, indeed, walking away and to InuYasha's bemused glance.
'I'll let her think for a while,' he thought, 'she looks so cute while she's thinking of the future. Wait, did
I just say she was cute? No, she can't be! I love Kikyou! Right?' While InuYasha struggled with his
doubts, Kagome continued to daydream. 'If I was in a band, I would call it Shikon Jewel, and I'd be
the lead singer, or a singer anyway...' She stopped when she realized she was totally lost. Suddenly,
she felt an evil presence. "Kikyou..." She said quietly.
"Very perceptive, young copy, but not smart enough to survive my next attack!" With that,
Kikyou sent an arrow whizzing in Kagome's direction. Kagome dodged, but she wasn't fast enough to
fully evade the attack and the arrow gave her a deep gash on her stomach. She fell back, bleeding
profusely, as she stared in shock at Kikyou. 'She tried to kill me, she really tried to kill me...' Kikyou
spoke again jarring Kagome from her thoughts. "You may have dodged, but you are still wounded
deeply. You cannot escape. Even if you did, InuYasha would still come to me if I asked, even if you
were in front of him bleeding to death." She said it calmly, the stoic look never leaving her face nor
showing a trace of emotion. "He loved me, and only sees you as me. Now die so I can drag him to hell!
I only need him to make his wish and then I'll be free of the burden of that cursed stone! I'll be free!
And then I can kill him! Heh heh heh... You can't win. Even if you get away, he'll never believe his
'beloved Kikyou' said such things!" Kagome felt tears building behind her closed eyelids. She ran, ran
faster than she ever had. She had to see InuYasha. He would believe her, he had to! For the sake of his
life! She could care less about her own, which was slowly trickling away through the injury she had
received, but it didn't matter, InuYasha was all that mattered.
"InuYasha! Inu...!" Kagome collapsed into his arms, holding him tight as she passed out from
lack of blood.
"Kagome?! What happened?! Oh, crap, that's a fucking deep wound...from an arrow!
Kikyou! But, I can't leave Kagome... She needs me..." He pried her off of him, and began to clean and
dress her wound gently. 'I can't stand to see my Kagome in such pain...' "It's okay, koibito, it'll be
alright..." He whispered comforting words to her, hoping to calm her, as she was lashing out in fear
even in her sleep. 'Wait, 'my Kagome'?! 'KOIBITO'?! It can't be that I actually... love her? No!
Well, maybe... Ah, hell yes! I do! I LOVE MY KAGOME!!!' He pulled her gently onto his lap and
held her in a tight embrace. She let out a soft sigh, but then, as if remembering something, started to
thrash about. He put his hand to her forehead gently, hoping it wasn't what he thought it was. It was.
'Ah, crap, she has a fever, she's having fever nightmares. I can't help her in her dreams! I feel so
helpless!'
"... no!... INUYASHA!... you... must... believe... me!... Kikyou... arrow... try... kill... me!...
help... me... save... me... Kikyou no love... betray... INUYASHA!" Kagome was crying and shouting
so hard, he though she would hurt herself. InuYasha was so surprised at the words that came out of her
mouth next, they were shouted clearly and distinctly, with desperation etched into her panicked voice.
"I love INUYASHA! Must save INUYASHA! Only... thing... that... matters... must... save... him...
Kikyou will betray InuYasha! ... must warn... HURRY!... PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!!" She was crying
so many tears, that he feared she would drown in her own sorrow. Could what she said be true? 'She
can only speak the truth, Kagome doesn't lie, especially not in sleep.' He did the only thing he could
think of to calm her. He kissed her softly on the lips, but soon poured all of the emotion he was feeling
into it. He told her how sorry he was she was hurt, and how he believed her, and how much he loved
her. All in a single kiss. [don't you love waff? This is my first time writing it too!] She shifted in his arms,
and started to slowly respond to the kiss. He pulled back almost instantly, blushing like mad, but still
was concerned for her.
"You're awake!" He couldn't help it, he pulled her into a giant hug. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
so, so, sorry, Kagome... I promise I'll never let anything happen to you again..." She was surprised, but
she hugged him back with the passion that was unique to her. Still crying, she chocked out the words
she wanted to say.
"That's a funny thing to promise," she said with a small smile, "Then no good or bad things will
happen to me, nothing would happen, how boring!" She said with a laugh.
"There's my Kagome." InuYasha tousled her hair playfully, "Are you alright?" He looked down
at the bandage he had hastily put onto her to stop the bleeding. All of a sudden her face turned pained
as she clung to him as if frightened he would disappear. She started to cry again, remembering the
traumatic events with Kikyou as sobs wracked her body.
"I'm sorry, so sorry! You don't deserve this pain!!!" She told him.
"I don't deserve what?" InuYasha asked confused.
"...Kikyou did this to me... Please don't hate me! I didn't attack her, I swear!" She didn't want
to make him mad at her because Kikyou did this to her.
"Shhh... I know, it's not your fault... I don't hate you..." He said soothingly.
"She said.... things... that shouldn't have been said... It hurt! What she said hurt my heart worse
than any arrow could! She said... said... I can't say it... it'll make you hurt too, I don't want you to be
hurt anymore..." She said in a soft voice. He was shocked, she card about him that much? 'So much
that she'll bear emotional and physical pain just so I'm not hurt? That means...a lot to me...Maybe she's
the one for me? She said she loved me, but she wasn't conscious, so she doesn't know it...maybe it
wasn't true? No, Kagome doesn't lie. I have to think a lot. But first, let me get the story straight.'
"It's okay Kagome, I don't ever want to see you hurt either. You can tell me, I wont be mad."
He kissed her gently on the forehead, taking all speech out of her grasp for the moment, and she
blushed prettily. Still crying, she told the story, InuYasha getting angrier and angrier at Kikyou for
causing his sweet Kagome so much pain. [by the way, Sango and Miroku are in the next village over,
and are oblivious, you'll see what they've been up to in the next chapter.] She clung to him, and he
rubbed her back and stroked her hair comfortingly, but knew he had to get Kikyou. He broke out of
her embrace, even though she begged him not to leave her. "I have to see Kikyou."
"InuYasha, I just can't understand you. One moment you're so mean, the next you're so
caring. One second I'm looked down upon for being less perfect than Kikyou, the next you tell me it's
okay and that I'm nothing like her, and that that's a good thing. You always go running to her, and not
me! Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Can't you tell that I'm losing grip and you're
tearing my heart apart! I know you go to see Kikyou because you love her, but
she's dead, she doesn't love you! She just wants you to make your wish...and then
she'll...eliminate...you. I keep asking myself, 'why should I care?' but it's simple, it's because I love
you." Suddenly, the spell took control of her and she got up out of his embrace. Under his shocked
gaze, she walked a short distance away, and started to sing a sing about how torn she was, and how
she couldn't help losing her grip on reality.
"Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby?
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real.
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you, why'd you tun away?
Here's what I have to say.
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there,
Grinning with the lost stare, that's when I decided,
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone.
You, you need to listen,
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip,
And I'm in this thing alone.
I'm I just some chick you place beside you, to take somebody's place?
When you turn around, can you recognize my face?
You used to love me, you used to hug me, but that wasn't the case,
Everything wasn't okay.
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there,
Grinning with the lost stare, that's when I decided,
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone.
You, you need to listen,
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip,
And I'm in this thing alone.
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud.
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud.
Open your eyes, open up wide.
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone.
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone.
Why should I care?
If you don't care then I don't care,
We're not going anywhere.
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone.
Why should I care?
If you don't care then I don't care,
We're not going anywhere..."
She was crying lightly during the whole song, but it didn't cause her beautiful voice to hitch a
bit. InuYasha was shocked to say the least, and so surprised she could sing with so my raw emotion.
Wait, sing? Why was everyone singing lately? It was so strange, but he could ponder it later, not he had
to handle Kagome. "K-Kag-" He was cut off as she walked lightly over to him and gently pressed one
finger to his lips. She smiled slightly, but it was a sad smile and slowly shook her head.
"When you've had a chance to think, and have come to a decision, I'll be waiting in my time. I
can understand how strange this might seem. Don't follow me right away, both you and I will regret it...
Goodbye, InuYasha, for now, or maybe for forever..." She was still crying softly, but smiling. Perhaps
she felt better, finally having her feelings out in the open. She walked away without looking back, until
she had reached the Bone-Eaters Well. She looked back sadly, waved, and fell backwards into the
blackness.
"Kagome!" 'I have to get her, I have to tell her! I love her, not Kikyou! But... she doesn't want
to see me... Kagome! How do I get through to you!' He ran off to the well, Kagome would have to
talk to him, she had to, he had to tell her!
TO BE CONTINUED...
Ahaha! Good cliffy, huh? The next chapter will be Sango and Miroku, and the one after that will be
InuYasha and Kagome. I'm kind of splitting them apart for a reason, you'll see why later ;)
