Signed: Oh man! I'm sorry, but I don't know how people can say that Kikyo and Kagome look alike, cause they don't!! At least not to me. I mean, sure, they have some similarities, but not so many that I would be calling Kagome ugly cause I did to Kikyo. Sowwie if that sounded mean, I didn't mean for it to, I just don't understand! =\!!
kookoogrl: Whoo, god eh? ;) Tankies!
A/N* WHOO!! I'm finally doing this chapter. I know it took me sooooo long, but it's really because of school. I know this chapter isn't too long, and probably not too good, but! At least it's something, right? Right! -_- Anyway, enjoy.

He was almost there, just a little while longer. His mind hung empty of thoughts as his eyes narrowed angrily at the ground. He had already thought out a plan, exactly what he would do when he got "home". Inuyasha had already promised himself that he wouldn't be tangled in their web of lies again.
Funny how he had always thought of that place as home, when it seemed more like hell than school did at times. At least there he could somewhat breath easy without people constantly throwing orders at him. At least there he had Kagome.
He would tell them that he wasn't going to hurt Kagome and that he was leaving as soon as he could. All the lies he had been fed and digested burned away at him slowly, how could he ever believe that his family could be brought back? There was nothing abnormal about Kagome, nothing that could grant him that kind of miracle anyway.
He sighed for what seemed like the millionth time that day and set his gaze on his fingers as they shifted through his hair. He didn't even notice the rock in his path and stumbled shortly before tripping and grazing his chin on some sand that lay helpless on the wavy, green hair of the earth.
Pressing his hands against it, he grabbed a handful and held it. It remained there, leaning against the palm of his hand lifelessly. Bawling his fist slightly, he watched as the sand slipped through his fingers and dropped soundlessly to the inviting ground.
Just like Kagome, he held her in his grasp.but when he held on too tight, she slipped right through his fingers and into Ryu's awaiting arms. "Well, not really." He thought out loud, dusting his hands off quickly. She was still mad at Ryu; at least he thought she was. As for him, he pretty much made up with her, but didn't really have her anymore.
He began to wonder, did he ever? Did he ever really have her, or did he just think he did? "Why am I thinking about this?" He muttered quietly, "I'll get her after, right now I have to get myself out of my own mess."
Groaning a little, he picked himself up and began walking once again. He turned a corner sharply and caught a slight glimpse of his house. The sky seemed to grow dark around it and he started to feel a little sick as his feet slid against the cement floor leading towards the stone steps.
He tried to keep his head up as his feet glided up them and closer to the darkly coloured door. Reaching into his coat pocket nervously, he pulled out his keys and shifted through each one clumsily searching for the one that would allow him entrance.
When he finally found it, he held it high and pressed it into the door, turning it slightly as the sound of it opening rushed through his ears.
****
"He's coming.." Two lips pressed back together as the words flowed out.
"Shouldn't we go greet him?" Mikaru questioned his brother.
"Nah, he'll know something is up. We have to act normal and wait for him to come to us." His stoic face responded.
"Where's Miramu?"
"She's still in her room, sleeping." He grinned childishly.
His brother smirked lightly, "Poor misguided Inuyasha, he always seems to lose. No matter what he does."
Kimaru ran his finger over the blade in his hand. It shined against the little moonlight that fell upon it. Just as he slipped it into the drawer, the doors swung open as Inuyasha's form stood silhouetted in the doorway.
Mikaru turned to him subtly, "Oh hello Inuyasha." He smiled.
****
Kagome turned on her side again and clutched her pillow in frustration. Bolting up she groaned and threw the pillow across the room as it slid lifelessly on her rough carpet. Her arms folded between each other and she put on a scowl. "Why the hell can't I get to sleep?!" She roared to herself but decided to calm down since that was getting her no-where.
"Deep breaths girl." She blew out a large amount of air and watched as the strands of hair that hung off her head blew up and shuffled back into her eyes. Sliding her hand out slowly, Kagome lifted those strands to the side of her head. Reaching out to her dresser, she picked up something to tie her hair back.
"I need to find Inuyasha.." She muttered quietly and jumped out of bed changing into something warmer. Her eyes traced around her clock as the red numbers read out, "1:15".
**** A few minutes later
Throwing on some old running shoes, she stepped down the stairs one by one and raced out the front door as it shut behind her. Wind blew at her from all directions and she mentally thanked herself for tying her hair up earlier. Wind was one of good hair's enemy, every woman knew that. (I can't stand wind when I leave my hair out. I know it adds that how affect with it blowing in all directions, but my god! I can't take it blowing in my eyes, grrr. Anyway, back to the fic..)
Kagome allowed her feet to wander around to where she thought Inuyasha could be, even at this hour. She finally decided that he was at home and headed in that direction. As she passed by all the familiar surroundings, she thought about the talk she had with him before he left.
It was quite serious but she didn't get the answers that she had hoped. "I'm not imagining it..something is always bothering him! I know it. I could've gotten it out of him tonight, why didn't I?" She asked herself, and waited for her mind to throw some kind of answer at her, possibly, no, most likely confusing her further.
"Maybe I felt a little sorry for him. He didn't really look like he wanted to tell me, or..maybe..nah! He couldn't possibly be afraid to tell me, would he? I mean, I'm his best friend for heaven's sake! He tells me everything, even little things like the way he wakes up in the morning."
Her glove-covered hand raised and cupped her chin in thought, Inuyasha was one strange man..well, no..he wasn't a man. He was a hanyou. (Could someone tell me if that's the correct spelling? It's been way too long since I wrote this. -_-!!) Half demon, half human.
Maybe that's what she loved about him. His uniqueness. Heh! Everyone was so unique these days. Being normal seemed different, and being weird, different, abnormal was right. She laughed and raised her gaze to the dark, cloudy sky. Taking a deep breath, she screamed out the first thing that came into her mind, "Why do I love you so much Inuyasha?!"
Throwing her hand over her mouth, she stopped walking and began to blink. "I love him..I love him..I love him..?" She blinked several times..it was true. She really did love him. But..what about Ryu? Didn't she love him? He did put her in danger though, how could she love someone like that?
Why would he do that on purpose though? She had known him for quite a while; he wouldn't do that to her, would he? No..he wouldn't. She loved him too, she loved them both. "Oh great..this is so much better than just loving one of them! Stupid Kagome, stop falling in love! It's not going to get you anywhere."
Kneeling down in front of a pile of sand she picked some up in either of her hands. She decided that the pile on the left was Inuyasha and the pile on the right was Ryu. Whichever pile of sand was smaller would be the one she didn't love. Nodding her head, she concluded that this was how she would know or not who she truly loved.
Closing her hands together she watched as the sand fell to the ground. When it stopped, she opened her two hands and found that Ryu's pile had more than Inuyasha's. She bit her lip lightly, "Maybe I did this wrong."
Picking up another pile, she closed her hands again and the same thing happened. Ryu's pile held more sand, which meant that she loved him. "Argh!" Throwing the little sand in both hands at the ground, she dusted the rest of the sand off her fingers. "Why am I wasting my time here? I've got to find Inuyasha!"
Turning around, she walked in the direction of his house.
Looking around, she saw that no one was in the park. "How strange.." She chimed to herself quietly. Some people are always somewhere. Okay, so that didn't exactly sound right, but she knew what she meant! "I know what I mean? Man..maybe I should've stayed in bed."
****
Inuyasha looked down at the two other men in the room. "We have to talk." He tried to sound tough, and unafraid, but he wasn't sure if they saw him that way. They probably thought of him as some weak boy. Just as he was when they met him and pulled him into their stupid plans. God, he hated them.
"Oh? About what?" Kimaru asked, almost amused. They usually sounded that way, either amused, or bitter. Never really happy, not genuenly, not like Kagome, or Miramu. They were so cold, filled with hate, pure hate.
This was the moment of truth, kinda. It was time to pull himself free from their plan and work out one of his own. One that would insure happiness, not a false sense of hope. He needed to let go of any hope that his parents would come back to life and be with him again. That wasn't going to happen.
"Before you talk Inuyasha, we have some very good news." Mikaru's lips curved upwards and formed an almost twisted smile.
"And what would that be?" The hanyou ventured, trying not to sound interested. Although he knew that whatever they were going to tell him meant trouble. Any good words in their vocabulary usually meant something bad. Mikaru took a seat in a chair and leaned back comfortably, biding his time. He stretched his long legs out and lifted the tea cup, raising it to his lips taking a light sip.
"Out with it Mikaru! If you have something to tell me, then stop wasting my time and tell me already." Inuyasha spat out, he hated the way they did this. Whenever he had something important to tell them, they would always change the subject and make him wait longer.
"Touchy, are we?" He smirked and set down the cup. He crossed his hands in his lap and stared up at Kimaru. "Do you wanna tell him, or should I do the honours?"
Kimaru spun a little book on his finger and looked quite agitated at their conversation, having been left out. "Does it really matter?"
"Well, dear brother. If you would like to inform him about everything, you may. But if you would rather I do it, then that's also perfectly fine."
Inuyasha growled lightly, "Would someone just fuckin tell me?!"
Mikaru stood up and took a few steps towards him, looking down at the silver locks and hanyou ears. Inuyasha slowly raised his head and let his amber eyes lock with Mikaru's dark ones. They remained in that position for a few moments.
"Your job, Inuyasha..is over."
****
Kagome stepped up the few stairs leading to the door. Her body shook a little, she guessed it was because of the weather, but something about being here didn't exactly feel right.
Her hand raised to knock on the door when it blew open, sending fierce waves of the air through the hallway. Quickly racing in, she threw the door closed and echoed her thoughts through her voice, "Sorry! I didn't mean to do that."
The dark hallway didn't answer her. Finding that a little strange, she stepped forward and began to search for Inuyasha.
****
Two pairs of eyes looked away sadly as they watched the young girl step inside the house. "It's all over now. They have them both." Miramu's lips pressed tightly together as a tear appeared beside them.
**** A/N* Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Can this be? Am I actually ending off a chapter? Wow! This seems so new to me . Heh, I'm sooooo sorry purples (People are purple). Yes so um..until next time!! **runs away**
