"Don't you look happy" said Miroku as Inu-Yasha seated himself Inu-Yasha's grin winded even more, as he sighed. Miroku and Sango Exchanged perplexed glances and turned back to the star dazed Honyou.
"Kagome? Do you know what's wrong with him?" said Miroku as he pointed a finger as his friend. Kagome nodded her head slightly while turning deep crimson. She seated herself by her love and kept her head low. The only thing that changed about her expression was the color of her face when Inu-Yasha's hand clasped with her's under the table.
"Ok...what's going on? What are you two hiding?" Questioned Sango in her sly voice.
Inu-Yasha felt the smaller hand squeeze tighter around his. Turning his head slightly he met with Kagome's eyes. Her green orbs held the same passion again that they held previously that morning.
Again Miroku and Sango Exchanged more glances before nearly falling out of there seats at the sight in front of them. Inu-Yasha and Kagome? Kissing? In....in love? Miroku blinked several times while Sango just stared, unable to place what was going on. The kiss finally ended, and they rested their foreheads against one another's and smiled.
"Please tell me this is as far as you have taken it, and that it will go no further." said Miroku with anger outlining the words. Sango Nodded in agreement. Now it was Inu-Yasha and Kagome's turn to be surprised.
"What?" Asked Kagome, taken aback.
"You heard me.....I don't think this relationship between you two should go any further, and if it has....." he shook his head "Kagome....I think your well enough to leave, to go back to where you belong."
"NO! You can't do this!" yelled an outraged Inu-Yasha as he stood up knocking over his chair.
"It's for your own good."
"You have no control over me, my feelings, nor can you tell me what's good for me!" Miroku sat in silence for a few moments before speaking.
"Kagome, I want you out of this house before sunset." Tears welled up in Kagome's eyes as the words hit her and pierced her. Body, soul, mind, spirit, were crushed from his words. She nodded her head, turned and left, running up to the room. Inu-Yasha turned and left, outraged. No sounds were heard after that except for the slamming of the bedroom door.
Silence hung over the dining hall, before Sango spoke.
"I'll talk to Inu-Yasha, you talk to Kagome."
"Yes.....that would probably be the best thing to do." Sango pushed back her chair, and left.
Sango turned the doorknob and pushed the door slightly ajar, to find Inu-Yasha laying on his bed.
"Inu-Yasha?"
"Go away."
"Inu-Yasha.......we need to talk." she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, while Inu-Yasha sat up and sat next to her.
"I know Miroku hurt you an..............."
"Hurt me? Oh no.....He did more than hurt me." He said sarcastically "He took my heart and crushed it........stole my soul." he said, his voice going quieter with each word spoken.
A heavy cloud of emotions hung in the room, so heavy, it sent chills up your spine, and made you feel misery.
"She's just........jut the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I just, always had this void I thought it would never be filled. But. but then Kagome comes along....and I don't feel that pain, hurt, all of it's gone. And Kagome feels the same about me."
"I understand..I......."
"No..you don't understand. You don't understand what's it's like to be different. Then find someone who accepts you. Who returns the same feelings for you. You don't understand what it's like to....to..to find true happiness, then have it taken away from you. You can say you understand, but you don't and never will."
With those last few words Inu-Yasha broke down crying. He grabbed his chest, his claws tearing the cloth. He yelled out in pain. The sound of that broke Sango's heart. It sounded as though his heart was being ripped out, or being filled with the black void again. She laced her arms around the sobbing hanyou as she cooed comforting words to him.
She had never seen, or heard Inu-Yasha like this before, and it hurt. And tears streamed down her face, as she thought back to his words......"you'll never understand".............
"Kagome? Do you know what's wrong with him?" said Miroku as he pointed a finger as his friend. Kagome nodded her head slightly while turning deep crimson. She seated herself by her love and kept her head low. The only thing that changed about her expression was the color of her face when Inu-Yasha's hand clasped with her's under the table.
