Broken

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu, Alanna does, but I happen to own a certain perverted monk! We are expecting our 10th child this summer. J/K!….its only our first. I also don't own the song 'Broken' by Seether

I wanted you to know
I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you and steal your pain away.

Inuyasha was stunned. He knew he hurt Kagome, but he wasn't quite sure how to make it up to her. Sure he enjoyed the kiss and loves to hear her laugh, and watch her smile, hell pretty much just loved to see her happy. But he was supposed to love Kikyou? Wasn't he? After he saw Kagome run away, he knew where she was headed., but he couldn't bring himself to follow her. He saw the pain in her eyes, and he knew he was the cause of it.

I keep you photograph
I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal you pain

It had been 2 days after that incident and still no sign of Kagome. Shippou still blamed him for her running away and he knew he was right. He was at fault for running her off. He took off towards the well and slumped down beside it. He didn't feel like himself with her gone. He didn't feel strong. All he wanted to do was hold her and take away the pain he caused, but a damned well was stopping him from getting to her. Sure he could just jump into the well, but for some reason he could seem to stand. He felt weak.

"Are you going to get her?" Sango asked as she sat down next to him. Sure she was pissed that he hurt her best friend, but he was the only one who could go get her.

"Feh" Inuyasha stood up and jumped in, he couldn't take it anymore. He had to see her. He had made his decision. Kagome was who he wanted. And who he had always wanted. He figured out that Kikyou was not the Kikyou who he fell in love with. And now the only thing he had left to do was to tell Kagome.

Cause im broken
When im open
And I don't feel like im strong enough
Cause im broken
When im lonesome
And I don't feel right when your gone away.

Kagome sat in her room and wouldn't leave. She didn't go to school, she didn't eat, she didn't even answer the phone when her friends called. She just sat in her room starring out her window looking at the well. She finally moved to her bed and laid down. She needed some sleep.

Inuyasha jumped out of the well, he saw that it was night time over here but wasn't surprised, the sun was setting when he left his time. He sniffed and the only thing he smelt was Kagome's tears. He ran across the yard and jumped to Kagome's window. He saw that she was sleeping and he could bring himself to wake her up. He sat and watched her sleep. He snuck into her room and sat down next to her on the bed. He soon found himself running his hand threw her hair. He smiled when she snuggled closer to him. He laid down next to her and was soon asleep. The last thing he remembered was that she was smiling.

Kagome woke the next morning feeling a little more wait on her than she should have. She suspected that Buyo had crawled into her room. She opened her eyes and saw something that she never expected. Inuyasha sleeping next to her. She felt a pang of forgiveness, but she soon forgot that and poked him. He awoke and looked over and smiled.

"morning beautiful" he said with a yawn.

'what is wrong with him? Ugh I should be angry but for some reason I feel relieved that he is here, with me.' Kagome just smiled and stretched. She got up and walked over to her closet.

"Inuyasha, I need to take a bath. I will be right back." she took what was needed and walked to the bathroom. 'we will talk later, maybe he forgot about her. No, he couldn't forget about his first love, could he?'

Inuyasha just watched her walk to the bathroom, he was relieved that she wasn't screaming his poor ears off. He was content just to lay in her room and breathe in her scent, but another scent caught him. It smelt like food. Just then his stomach rumbled. 'hmm…guess im hungry.' Inuyasha moved his way down stairs to see Kagome's mom in the kitchen humming quietly while making some pancakes. Inuyasha took a seat across from Souta and Ji-chan. Kagome's mom turned around surprised to see an unexpected guest.

"Well good morning Inuyasha. Is Kagome up?" she asked putting a few pancakes onto a plate for him.

"Hai, she is bathing right now." he quickly shoved a whole pancake into his mouth, surprised by its taste but liking it all the same.

The worst in over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high
You steal my pain away

Kagome was humming to herself as she brushed her hair. 'maybe if I don't bring up what happened he will forget about it.' she shook her head. She knew she had to talk with him, if not she wouldn't feel right around him. It would feel wrong to ignore that and pretend that nothing happened. She knew Inuyasha tried it all the time, but she couldn't. it felt like she was lying to herself to ignore her feelings like that.

Kagome walked down stairs and saw that Inuyasha was finishing off the rest of the pancakes and holding ji-chan away with on foot as he was eating. Ji-chan was always trying to throw spells at him and Inuyasha had come to expect it. She giggled and took a seat next to Inuyasha and stole one of his pancakes. He growled but let her take one. I mean it was just one pancake.

Kagome was soon finished and help her mother to clean up. Inuyasha stood behind her watching her. 'kami she smells good. that's something I can learn to live with.' After Kagome was finished she went and packed her things.

"Inuyasha, we need to talk." she was going to talk, she had to talk, but why didn't she feel like she could.

" What about tenchi?" he asked with awe. Kagome blushed at his pet name but she had a job to do.

"What happened between you and Kikyou, I thought our kiss meant something?" she was again on the verge of tears. every time she thought back to where she had saw Kikyou in his arms she felt a pang in her heart. Like it was breaking all over again.

He didn't know how to answer that. Of course their kiss meant something, he was here right? But she was right, what had happened between him and Kikyou. He went to tell her to go on with out him, but soon found himself with her in his arms looking into Kagome's normally bright and care-free teary eyes.

"I…I…I don't love her anymore." there that should work. That was how he felt. But for some reason it was harder expressing it than he thought.

"Inuyasha, I want everything to be okay with us, I want us to be happy. How do I know you wont run off to her when she comes back around?" she wanted to believe him, she really did. But a voice inside her said that he loves Kikyou not you.

"I love you Kagome not her. She is not the same woman I fell in love with 51 years ago.(au: I know they have not searched for a full year yet, but he fell in love her way before he was pinned to the tree, at least a couple of months.) I want to live the rest of my life with you and only you. I cant express the way I feel about you Kagome, but when your not around I feel weak, and I don't feel like I can go on living." he was being serious, and he wanted Kagome to know that.

"y….you llllove me? She was shocked to hear those three words come from his mouth. She expect a "excuse me" before a "I love you".

"yes Kagome, I LOVE YOU, and only you." he pulled her closer to him. He leaned down a kissed her like he did before. But this time with more feeling. He was hoping this would show her that he loved her.

She kissed him back. This is what she wanted ever since that fateful day she realized she was in love with him. She put her hands on his ears and rubbed them. She giggled when he purred into her mouth. It was an odd sensation, but she liked it. When they parted for air, she looked into his eyes.

"I love you too, Inuyasha." she was happy to get that off her chest. It was hard to not tell someone who you cared about very much that you loved them. When he smirked, she suddenly was filled with worry.

"Take that wimpy wolf" he shouted into the air. She giggled then sighed. He will never learn.

There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you hold you high
And steal you pain

Kagome climbed out of the well and smiled at the beautiful sight. She loved it here. The air was so much cleaner here than in her own time. There was more trees, and the birds sung beautiful songs during they day. She took Inuyasha's hand and they walked hand in hand back to the village. They were a good 100 feet away when something shot from Kaede's hut and ran straight into Kagome. She giggled and rubbed the small auburn haired kitsune that seemed to refuse to let go off her middle.

"Ohh Kagome we missed you so much!" Shippo said into her stomach. She giggled as it tickled her.

"I missed you too" she pulled him into a hug and that earned a snort from Inuyasha. Shippo glared at him and stuck out his tongue while Kagome tended to him.

Shippo smiled big and looked up at Kagome. "did you bring e anything?" he tried to look as cute as possible, knowing it always worked with her. Kagome smiled back and nodded her head. She pulled him close and whispered into his ear.

" I brought you plenty of candy, and some new crayons" Shippo beamed. He looked over at Inuyasha and stuck out his tongue. "Hahahaha, I got something and you didn't!" Kagome couldn't hold it in any longer. She busted up with laughter. Inuyasha picked up Shippo by the tail and pulled him to his face. He smirked

"I got something too." he said and dropped the kitsune.

Cause im broken
When im open
And I don't feel like im strong enough
Cause im broken
When im lonesome
And I don't feel right
When your gone away

Later that night, Kagome snuck away from Shippo long enough to talk with Inuyasha. She meant him by the god tree. As she walked up to the tree, she looked up and smiled. Inuyasha looked down at her and smirked.

"Are you coming down, or do I have to make you?" she said sweetly.

"feh, like you could make me." he soon relised his mistake.

"Owasarii"

He soon found himself face first in the dirt quicker than he could say ouch. She giggled and sat down next to him, listening to him mumble in the dirt. She caught something that sounded like' just wait' but she wasn't sure. She was soon face to face with a dirty-faced hanyou smirking. She soon regretted sitting him. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. After he had locked his arm behind her knees, he took off…heading straight for the river.

Cause im broken
When im open
And I don't fell like I am strong enough
Cause im broken
When im lonesome
And I don't feel right
When your gone away

" IT'S COLD" Kagome screamed at him after she had came up for air. He was laughing to hard to realize that she was coming closer to him. He soon found himself in the freezing river along with her. He growled and splashed her with water. Her returning the same. They played in the water like a couple of 3 year olds.

After they had tired out, Inuyasha picked Kagome up and jumped into a tree. He kept her warm with his body heat, as they sat and looked at the stars. Kagome sighed and looked up to him. "Inu-chan, what would you do with out me?" she smiled. He smile faded and he look serious, for once. "I would probably die. I feel lifeless and weak. Im lonesome and I don't feel right when your gone. Promise me Kagome that you will never leave." Kagome kissed him lightly and nodded. "I promise Inuyasha, I will not leave you broken anymore." and with that she nodded off, leaving a hanyou to watch her beautiful form sleep.

Authors notes: Sorry it took me so long to update. Im taking my finals in school , and they sure do take up a lot of my time. I was listening to this song in study hall one day and it struck me as a song that fits Inuyasha. He never seems to be able to fight without Kagome. When she is gone, he mopes around and doesn't act like himself. But when she is there, he seems to be able to fight better, he seems more happy. So I hope this song fits. And please review. I am expecting myself to write more chapters mostly with Inu Kag fluff, and defiantly some Roku/San fluff as well. And maybe a chapter dedicated to my favorite little kitsune. I could use some song ideas. If you wouldn't mind sending some in the reviews. It would be greatly appreciated! Ohh and if your all wondering, tenchi=angel.

Ja ne!
