A/N: Okay, since it seems Lady Ryoko is the only one who sent in stuff for
this chapter, I'm going to use it! But mind you, if I didn't like it, I
wouldn't use it. But great minds think alike, so thank you, Lady Ryoko!
But, uh.. Some plot changes are imminent, or else the story won't flow.
Only minor changes, of course! * bows * Arigatou!!!!!!
This chapter is hereby dedicated to Lady Ryoko.
Disclaimer: I don't Inuyasha or the song being used.
I heard you're doing okay
But I want you to know
Inuyasha watched the doctors place a plastic mask over Kagome's mouth. It would fog up and clear. Over and over and over again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was hours later. Inuyasha was leaned up against the wall, dozing lightly. Every time Kagome shifted, he awoke.
It was horrible.
The healers in Kagome's time put her in an 'enchanted sleep'. One of the taller, more official looking ones, wrapped his gloved around the arrow. He expertly snapped the shaft in half. Kagome screamed in her sleep. It was all her grandfather could do to keep Inuyasha from smiting all of them.
I'm a dick
I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
Inuyasha sighed, shaking his head to rid the bad flashbacks from his head. This was his fault. If he hadn't started fighting with Kagome, if she hadn't run off in tears, then she wouldn't have met up with Kikyo.
Kikyo.
Inuyasha looked down at his hand and flexed his clawed fingers.
Someone was going to pay.
Oh yes. someone will DEFINITELY pay. Past love or not.
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?
Kagome opened her eyes. A hanyou dozing against the wall greeted her. So, Inuyasha was here? Then she must still be in the Sengoku Jidai. She sank back into the pillows and looked up at the ceiling.
A plaster ceiling.
She was at the hospital.
Kagome's glanced back at Inuyasha. His ears were flat against his head. She let out a small whispery sigh. Inuyasha cracked open one eye.
"You're awake now?"
"Yes." Kagome looked at him. " Am I still supposed to be asleep?"
"N-n-no! I just thought-" a blush stained his cheeks. " Never mind." He muttered, blush still clearly visible.
"Why do you always get so embarrassed?" Obviously having an arrow pulled out of your stomach makes one a bit more bold at asking questions that are considered inappropriate.
"What?"
"Every time I ask you something, you either blush, or don't answer at all." Kagome fixated a knowing eye on his face.
Inuyasha was confused. Kagome was being weird. She was obviously very mad at him. He glanced around the room, something to distract from having to answer Kagome. There was a large open window, some flowers on the table from that 'Hobo' kid. WAIT A SECOND!
An open window... hmmm. That had possibilities.
"Seeing as you're angry at me," he mumbled, walking toward the window," I'll just leave you alone a little while." He placed something on the bedside table that glittered and passed her bed to the open window and jumped out.
I tried to make you happy but you left anyway
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
Inuyasha had somehow found his way back to the shrine. He stood in the Well-house, staring down in to the black abyss, the bottom of the well. He jumped in and landed in his own world, the Feudal Age. But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over
Can't forget what you said
And I never wanna do this again
he sat at the bottom of the Well, contemplating. 'Why do I bother? She doesn't really care. The only thing this is for is to keep the Shikon no Tama out of the hands of evil youkai..."
"Inuyasha!" He looked up toward the top of the Well. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were grinning down at him.
"Leave me alone." He vaulted up and over their heads.
Heartbreaker
He sat moodily on a tree branch.
"Inuyasha!" Sango called. "Get up!"
He pretended not to hear her. She hefted the weight of the Hiraikotsu. "I'm telling you," she warned," Come. Down. NOW."
He sat there.
"Oh, he is so asking for it." Sango said to Miroku, who nodded sagely.
"If it makes you feel better, you could always vent your anger on him," the monk suggested," I'm sure he'd understand though."
Sango smirked," For once, houshi, you have a good idea.."
There was a silent pause.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
Inuyasha yelped and hugged the limb as the Hiraikotsu skimmed through the air and sliced through the tree's top.
"Now, my dear hanyou," Sango said soundly very maternal and un-Sango-like, " Come help Kagome-chan out of the Well."
Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
I'm still a dick
I'm addicted to you
"WHAT THE HELL?!" I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?
Inuyasha leapt lightly off the branch to glare down in the Well. The others left , sensing an imminent fight, off to Kaede's, leaving the two alone. "So are you going to leave me in here, or are you going to help me out?" Kagome asked plainly.
"You should be at home."
"So I'm here instead. So what?"
Inuyasha glared at her. There were so many things he wanted to yell at her. How she had just been skewered through by an arrow, how she should be at home, how it was all his fault for letting her go alone, how much he admired her spunk-.
"And- I wanted to make sure you weren't tearing yourself up because of what happened," she said softly," Because it wasn't your fault."
Inuyasha stared at her for a moment before reaching down and pulling her out. She wobbled uncertainly for a moment before falling against him. she'd thrown her arms around him, and he'd reacted the same way any person would by grabbing onto her.
"It wasn't your fault," she cried into his haori," You can't realize that you aren't perfect, and that you can't be there all the time! You won't open up to me, you won't even talk to me sometimes! so, how can you ask me to expect you to be there all the time when you don't even trust yourself?" Her tearful face looked up at him, and for once didn't want or even did answer with a snide remark.
He only hugged her tighter. And when she sank to her knees, he held her, and let her cry. He didn't tell her to stop, because everyone has their own way of letting out their emotions. Inuyasha would have destroyed a youkai, or maybe even a village, but right now, he was holding a girl who, to his eyes, was Untouchable. Too pure to ever love a demon. His head sank dejectedly upon her hair as she sobbed into his haori. I tried to make you happy
I did all that I could
Just to keep you
But you left anyway
How long will I be waiting?
Until the end of time
I don't know why I'm still waiting
I can't make you mine
Heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you...
A/N: Wow. That took me forever, just plotting it, keeping everyone in character, ( except Sango, who has her weird moments now and then) If anyone wants some M+S, tell, me and I may write a few chapters of that.
Okay, I think chapter progressed nicely, with a few rough spots ( A.K.A. Kagome waking up) But that scene, no matter how many times I rewrote it, never got any better. So I left it alone.
I'm going to continue, because no one's told me they hate my stuff yet. Some people are upset I didn't kill Kagome, but ah well! I may do it! YOU haven't seen my notes! Altogether, this added up to six pages. Five the actual story, and the sixth being this author note. ANYWAY! B-chan finally got back around to communicating with me, and I have some reviews! ^_^ This makes me VERY HAPPY! Now I realize it's late, and I should save the chapter and load it so that you lovely people may read it!
And once again, thanks to Lady Ryoko for the lyrics and story plot!
Ja ne, minna-san!
