Sounds of One's Life: Chapter 2 By: Death Bell

Author's Note: I do not own InuYasha or anything else in this story. Once again I ask you to review me at the end of the story, pleeeeeeease.

His eyes opened to find the lovely woman who he loved oh so much. He sat up in the bed to find it snowing outside of a small window facing the bed. 'It's snowing on New Years Day!' he thought to himself excitedly. Snow was InuYasha's favorite thing in the world that is it was until last night. Last night, the memories came rushing back to him. The feeling of happiness coated his heart with its warmth. He smiled and got out of bed to change into his normal clothes. He took off the pajamas that Kagome found for him in her closet last night (which he found a little small).

He was about to walk out of her bedroom when he heard a mumble from behind him. He turned around to see Kagome sleeping in bed. The little light from outside reflected on her face brightening InuYasha's heart at the beautiful sight. He looked next to her to check the time the clock read 5:34 a.m. As he walked out into the front yard the clouds suddenly got darker. "Man, I wonder if will have even more snow coming in today" he said to himself. He then walked off the driveway on to the sidewalk; he walked down the road without realizing where he was going. He passed four-ways without a bother to look for passing cars. Like there was any out this early and with the roads iced.

He then stopped at the corner of St. Joan to peer upon a small Basketball game going on though a metal chain fence. The boys who were playing were clearly trying to impress the females watching them. The girls soon left the scene were the game was going on. At this the boys saw no reason to continue the game since their female audience had left. The boys left as the girls had once done, and gone their speate ways. "How stupid was that" the silver haired teen said to himself. He then continued he journey on down the sidewalk.

He heard voices around the corner; well of course he heard voices the city was packed with people everywhere. He peered around the corner, and there they stood the two officers of the law who had made a visit to Kagome's house last night. He headed behind the corner so the dark hide him well. "Kids got an all of guts to still the money plates from the armor truck" one officer said. Then the same one who questioned Kagome's mom added," Well it means big promotion for the chef if we get him." "Yeah I know that makes it all the more worth it." As the two police officers finished their breakfast drove off into the distance.

InuYasha was relived that they didn't see him hiding; if they did it would have been the end of him. He then had decided to run back to Kagome's house, it was only 7:36 they were just getting up. If got there in time no one would notice his disappearance. He ran as fast as possible back to his lover's house, he did not want to stay in the streets for long anymore because of his last close call. "InuYasha" called a male voice from the shadows. Out came Miroku InuYasha's long time rival at everything. "What the hell do you want?" he asked impatiently. Normally when Miroku made a visit it was for taunting InuYasha. "Oh, nothing much really" he looked up at the sky and added,"Their looking for right now you know. Cops all over are hunting you for the reward." He looked at InuYasha for a response.

"I know that already I just ran into two of them." He said to turn and leave. "Where are you going?" Miroku asked harshly. "Home" the teen said to the black haired man. "H-H- Home!?" Miroku said trying to keep the laughter down, but that didn't work. "Ha ha ha ha ... oh InuYasha you shouldn't say such lies to your friends. I know you don't have a home." He added in a more serious tone. "I do now you laughing bastard" InuYasha shot back with an evil look. "Really now is that true, well that's a damn shame InuYasha because, I think you are going to lie there until they find your dead body" He smirked and added.

"You may have very well exposed us to the law" He pulled out his 45 of his coat and leveled it to the silver haired teen's head. "You run from this gun and get away from me, but the cops will get you and may kill you, either way you die by a bullet." InuYasha saw that there was truth in what Miroku had just said, he also saw it futile to fight back. Besides he didn't care about his life it was a waste of air to the human race. But then he remembered where he was going and he had to get back there no matter what. Then he too pulled a 45 out of his coat and leveled it to the obstacle's head. "Put it down Miroku, it not worth you dieing a sad way." He looked at his opponent like a hawk and it's prey.

Miroku's smile grew wider, "You stupid bastard, you think you can kill me?" He said with a huge laugh. "Well then InuYasha you think about why you didn't kill me in hell!" He pulled the trigger on his 45 and watched the bullet miss InuYasha by an inch. "You missed me you blind bat" InuYasha said with a smile on his face. Another shot was fired at InuYasha, but he dogged it by a foot. Then InuYasha jumped out from the trash can he was hiding behind, and pulled the trigger on his 45. He looked up from the kick of the gun. Miroku was flung back bleeding from the arm. InuYasha walked over to his rival's injured body. "No Miroku I don't think I can kill you... I know I can." Then he ran off in the direction of Kagome's house. By the time he arrived at the house it was 10:48a.m. He opened the door and walked in.

"InuYasha," cried an angry and worried Kagome. "Oh, Inu- chan my poor baby I thought they got you!" She hugged as hard as possible till his lungs popped, then kiss him on the lips. "No, I'm fine, but there was trouble in the alleys today." He said this in pride knowing he had killed Miroku earlier. "What happened!?" Kagome's grip on InuYasha tightened at those words. "Well what happened, are you hurt?"
InuYasha paid no attention to her, but to the television which a reporter was at the scene of the fight. "Today, many citizens of downtown Kyoto reported a gun fight between two unused apartments." She walked over to where Miroku had fallen. 'He must still be alive, dammit' thought InuYasha. "Three eye witnesses watch in horror as the criminal InuYasha shot at a black haired man at about 7:45 a.m. this moring." "Shit," InuYasha looked at the T.V. with a layer of concern over his eyes. "InuYasha," Kagome said now with in fear of her lover. "Is that what happened, you just went for a walk and decided to shot a man for no reason?" "No that man was not just any old guy on the streets he Miroku, a violent, and very cruel person." InuYasha took a deep breath and added, "Also my partner in so called 'crime', he was always a pain in the ass." "No one has seen the other man that was shot since the fight between the two." Kagome at this point was confused and scared. Funny how the two feelings are related so closely, if you are confused you become scared because you do not know what is going on. Your paranoia rises when you are afraid and you lose all common sense and become confused. This is what Kagome felt right now.

InuYasha had no confusion in him but a great amount of fear. Kagome saw this and said, "Inu-chan you should go lay down before you make yourself sick." Her eyes started to glow wit love. "No I think I'll just go sit under the kotatsu and re..." he stopped talking only because he heard the sound that to InuYasha was all too familiar... sirens. "The cops, they have finally found me." InuYasha said looking out the window at the blue cars pulling up. "But how?" Kagome asked starting to panic, "What are we going to do?" InuYasha looked into her eyes sending a message to her that read 'let them take me'. "No... no I won't let them have you." Then before he walked out the door to give up he once again sent another message to her. Then he walked outside to surrender, and was put in one of the five police cars and driven away. Then Kagome realized it was o.k. he was innocent.
