Lonely
It was a long time ago/ when you came into my life/ when you stole my heart/ now I am asking why you lied to me/ why you laughed at me/ now you won't come back to me/ mow I want to breathe/ now I am trying to see/ why I am lonely now...

Chapter 10
Angel Standing By
Inuyasha sits in a tiny field. The field was covered in flowers of all colors and kinds. He was on prowl of a tiny butterfly. Even though his mom told him time and time again, not to catch insects, it was fun! Plus, he'd never caught a butterfly before.
The butterfly swooped from flower to flower sucking up its sweet nectar. Inuyasha tried to stay focused but a nauseating smell was flooding his nostrils. At last, the butterfly was within his reach so he swiped it. Feeling it flutter in his hands, he runs home to show his mom, even if she would say to "let it go dear" as she always did. While he ran toward his house the repulsive smell got stronger and stronger.
Inuyasha soon reached his house; he saw something that made his hand cage over the butterfly break. His house was covered in full, rich flames and the village was standing around staring. Inuyasha started to walk toward it, but the intense heat made him flinch back. An old man looked at the tiny hanyou trying to get to the dwelling.
"You're mom's in there little one, she's stuck in there." He tried to explain to the distressed hanyou. A little boy walked toward him.
"You're mom's dead." He said in a tiny voice. Inuyasha looked to the house and thought…'This can't be true! Wake up! Wake up! Wake-' The house's walls suddenly caved in, breaking the tiny boy's thoughts. He watches the house crumble down into a large wooden pile.
As the house fell, the large gray clouds suddenly let their reign free. Giant raindrops fell from the sky, causing everyone to leave the sight. The flames died down quickly, but it didn't make a difference. Everything was destroyed and Inuyasha's kind, beautiful mother…was dead. One little boy and his older brother remained outside. They looked at the smoldering pile that was once a home, then to the hanyou. The two smile, then kick dirt into his face.
"Serves you right…Hanyou." The older one says. Then, the two hurried home, tired of getting rained on. Inuyasha looks at what was once his house. Tears suddenly fall from his tiny golden eyes. He tries to move the wood around to find whatever remained of the inside of his house, but the timber was still too hot to handle.
Inuyasha curled up in a little ball and slept very uneasily that night. He stayed in that place for the next three days, dealing with the people that would walk by and kick, push, kick dirt in his face, spit on him or in some cases, yank on his sensitive ears.
Then the day came when the boy from three days ago that had told him "serves you right hanyou" came back. He didn't look happy and he seemed very annoyed. Immediately, he grabbed the small boy's shoulders and pushed him back onto the still hot wood. He grabbed his ears, tweaking them endlessly.
"We don't want you here anymore! We-" The boys words were no longer audible to the young hanyou, his ears were too swollen. But still the boy shouted at him and scratched at his ears. Inuyasha watched as the boy pointed to the woods. He knew what it meant so he quickly ran that way, turning to look back only once and trying very hard to listen. He only heard,
"Look at you run!" And cruel laughter. That night Inuyasha found a spot under a tree to sleep. He was asleep quickly because he was tired, sore and upset. He was soon awaken though, by something him throwing him over. It was an angry wolf. Inuyasha looked down to his side and saw a bloody spot where the wolf had grabbed a hold of him.
Inuyasha quickly climbed up a nearby, to escape more damage from the hungry wolf. He slept there for two, maybe three days, until he fell. When he looked around, he saw some of the villagers. They were grinning. Inuyasha looked to see that not only had he fallen, but the tree had as well. One of the men stepped forward, throwing his axe behind him. The other instantly repeated the process. Inuyasha didn't know what he had done, but he could tell that the two men were angry.
"We wanted you gone! This is still our land!" He shouted.
"We'll teach you your lesson, you worthless brat!" The two men then beat him nearly to death. Inuyasha found only the strength to climb up a tree. As he tried to fall asleep, a small squirrel climbed under his arms in sympathy of what he had gone through. Inuyasha held the squirrel then was soon asleep…
As a bright light came to his eyes, Inuyasha looks around to see that he was no longer in a tree. He wasn't sure where he was. Kagome walked over and looked down into his face.
"Good morning sleepy head!" Kagome smiled. She held up a costume. It was a white cat costume with gray paws and a gray tipped tail. "Today's Halloween!" She put the costume down and sat at her desk. Inuyasha looked around realizing that everything had just been a dream. Well, a memory more or less. He stood up and stretched.
"What's Halloween?" Inuyasha questioned while holding up the white costume. "And what's this for?" He asked quizzically. Kagome laughed. She looked over to see him holding the costume then laughed harder. She hadn't thought of the fact that Inuyasha wouldn't know what Halloween was. She swerves her desk chair around.
"Halloween is a holiday where you dress up and go from house to house and get candy." She smiles. "And that is what you'll be dressing up in." She states pointing at the cat costume. Inuyasha holds it up and makes a funny face. He looks over at Kagome then puts the costume on the bed.
"How do you put it on?" He interrogated while giving the costume quizzical glares. Kagome had turned back to doing her homework, and after hearing this question she blushed. After she felt the blush go away, she turns to Inuyasha.
"Well, here." She takes the costume off of the hanger then takes each of pieces and spreads them out. Inuyasha's eyes had grown two times their normal size when he saw her take the hanger out of where the head went.
"WHAT'S THAT?" He inquires. Kagome looks to where he was pointing. It was the hanger. She giggled.
"That's not part of the costume; it's just something to hang the costume on to keep it from getting wrinkled." She replied.
"Good." He calmly takes his seat on the bed. Kagome holds up the top of the costume (a thin white tank top and arm socks.) Then she takes the choker and holds them both out.
"This is the top of your costume." She states. Inuyasha looks at the clothes then down at his clothes. Kagome could tell that he was obviously confused. She smiles then sits then on his knee. "Do you want me to help you?" She questions. Inuyasha nodded, very confused of how someone would where this costume.
Kagome smiles. She holds up the tank top. "This is the shirt." Then she holds up the arm socks. "These go on your arms." Then she holds up the choker. "This goes around your neck." Inuyasha is clearly still confused. Kagome sighed while placing them on the ground. "Ok then, take your shirt off." She tells him.
Inuyasha does as she tells him. Taking off the red kimono top then the white under one. He neatly folds them up then sticks them onto one of Kagome's pillows. Kagome blushes, then hands him his shirt. "You put this on like this." She shows him how to put it on. He carefully does so, then once it was on him, he straitened it out, unfamiliar with the feel of tight clothes. Kagome then picks up the arm socks and places one over his muscular arm, then handing him the other one for him to do the same thing. She then goes behind him and places the choker onto his neck. He moves his neck around questioning this new attire. Blushing, Kagome then looks at the pants she had made for the costume. She looks over at Inuyasha, but then in the corner of her eye, she sees the white under kimono and smiles.
"Just take off the red pants and keep the white ones on. Then I'll attach the tail and you can see what you think." Inuyasha does this, but is all the while blushing. Once the costume was completely on, he looks in the mirror. Kagome then hands him the giant gray paws. He places them on his hands. Laughter erupts from his chest as he does this. He claps his new "paws" together listening to the muted "poom poom" sound. He tries to scratch his ear, which makes him laugh even harder. Kagome watches him and starts to giggle herself. She never knew how amusing "paws" could be. Inuyasha looks back at her and gives her thumbs up.
"I'm going to go change into my costume now. Be right back!" She runs out of the room with her black cat costume then is back in only minutes. She smiles then stands next to Inuyasha, they both laugh. She then leads them downstairs. She was having a semi-Halloween party. Yura and Eumi would be coming over. She sighed when she thought of Yura and Eumi's reaction to seeing Inuyasha but decided not to tell him.
Inuyasha sits down at the dinner table and Kagome starts to make some ramen. As the two sit down to eat, a knock comes to the door. Obviously it was time for the party to begin!
