Chapter 2
Tears of Pearls
Okay when I reviewed for others I always liked knowing they took the time to read my review, and even respond. Now I AM kinda weird but I'm assuming u guys still like that sort of thing (lol ^.~), so here r some shout outs:
~Demongirl6381- Oh really? I'll have u know I'm quite evil myself *smirk* so I wouldn't try that...
~Valdrein- Thank you very much, I'm flattered. In fact, I debated doing that, but I needed a reason for Naraku to get mad at Kagome for talking to Inu-Yasha
~Sakura122- Well... here ya go. ^.^
~Ryngrl5- O.O (hehe, just teasing) Ne way, thank u very much.
~Shrimple13- Ok, I love ur pen name! Where did u get the idea for that from?
Well that's it, if anyone else reviewed but isn't here I'm very sorry but it didn't come up by the time I typed this up so... sorry ^.^'. Ne way I hope u enjoy!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inu-Yasha & co., but I don't so... however I do have my best friend (nickname Kagome) and I own her!
Kagome: HEY! Get over here you scrawny little twig! *graps Wakaba and puts her in a headlock*
Wakaba: *thinking* (sometimes I wonder why she wasn't allowed to join the wrestling team) Well its true, ur parents love me more than u so I wouldn't kill me. Plus the reviews might be miffed...
Kagome: *thinks about it* K, don't wanna tick off mom and dad... *releases Wakaba*
Ne way, as I was saying... I also don't own Savage Garden's song "Tears of Pearls" but still listen to there music and don't care if no one else does!
/And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry
These tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it./
"I should have known he had someone watching me," he snarled at his own foolishness, "I thought I had shaken them but he must have had backup!"
"No," she shook her head deeper into his shirt, "It's not your fault. He's been after me for a while. Whoever was watching, was keeping an eye on me, not you."
"What..." he stopped himself, "Never mind, you need some rest. Let's find you a place to stay at the castle."
"No," Kagome's eyes showed conflicting emotions and questions playing in her head, "I said I would tell you what happened, And Sango's finding us a place to stay. Oh quit looking at me like that! I couldn't impose anyway! We need to be able to stand on our own..." Oh but how her eyes betrayed her.
"She won't find anything," he told her while containing her satisfaction at telling her this, "Not this close to the Festival of the New Moon." (I know it's corny, but bear with me)
/Is love really the tragedy
Tha way you might discribe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside
Make you cry
These tears of pearls/
As if on cue, Sango and Souta showed up at that moment. Kagome quickly pushed herself out of Inu-Yasha's embrace, but Sango had already seen and raised her eyebrows.
Kagome ignored the look her best friend was giving her, "Did you find anything?"
Sango put her question aside and frowned, "No, I forgot about that damn New Moon Festival! We'll just have to camp out here until we find a place. We can't live here permenantly until its been fixed up and what-not... Why are you smiling dog-boy?"
Inu-Yasha growled at the remark but explained, "You all will staying at the palace as my honored guests," he gave Kagome a satisfied smirk, "I mean, I just COULDN'T let you stay out here before it's fixed up."
/All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away
Like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away
Fom all the world/
Sango looked over at Kagome, "This is that 'Inu-Yasha" prince dude Naraku got so worked over isn't he?" At Kagome's silent nod she tured back to Inu-Yasha, "We don't need yur sympathy, but we'll go on ahead and take advantage of your pitiful attempt at clearing your own concience."
Kagome burst out laughing as Inu-Yasha's hair bristled. Then Sango joined her and he realized that Sango had simply been teasing him.
Souta sat on the ground beside Kirara, "They've cracked, they've gone completely insane."
Kirara simply meowed in what was probably agreement.
/Your kisses are jewels
So different and so rare
But anger stole your jewels away
And love has left you bare
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls/
Kagome was sitting on one of the many benches in the palace garden. Specifically, the wooden swinging one on a wrought iron trellis frame of roses. It even live red roses growing along the iron. She seemed to be deep in thought as Inu-Yasha walked up behind her.
"Why aren't you sleeping," she didn't turn so he continued, "you've had a tough day..."
"It has been only a day," she still didn't move, "hasn't it?"
He came around the bench to sit beside her. She was holding a rose in her hands, twirling it as she stared deep beyond the petals. She wasn't crying, she didn't even look sad, she simply seemed to be pensive.
"Yeah," Inu-Yasha put his hand on her shoulder, she flinced, "Do you hate me that much?"
/Well I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls/
"No," Kagome sighed, "I guess I don't. It would make things so much easier for me if I did, if I could just blame you... But I can't when I- when its not your fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn."
"You can't blame yourself," Inu-Yasha sat down beside her, she still wasn't crying, "You said so yourself that Naraku was just looking for any excuse..."
"But my mom, and my grandfather they..."She stumbled, but still no tears, "I saw my mother in my dream, she said that the Shikon-No-Tama was safe and that Naraku had lost once more. She... she stabbed herself... and died... Then Naraku said that he'd find me and steal the jewel for himself, and proceeded to burn down the shrine."
"He can't hurt you while you're under the protection of the crown," Inu-Yasha gave her a reassuring hug, "Naraku can't lay a finger on you, Souta, Sango, or even Kirara while you all are within these city walls."
/All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away
Like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away
From all the world/
Kagome nearly let a tear escape at hearing that, but no, she wouldn't cry. No more of her tears would be shown to this demon prince. He just didn't seem to get it. She didn't want to hear that she would be safe because of the crown, she wanted to hear that he was worried about her, that HE would protect her. Not that she really neaded it but that was beside the point.
She sighed, maybe she had misunderstood his feelings, but couldn't he at least act like her friend? Couldn't he act the way he had back at the shrine in the woods? She tried to pull out of his embrace, but found it impossible, he was holding on tight...
/We twist and turn
Where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers
We will learn
That once forgotten
Twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you/
"What's the matter Kagome," Inu-Yasha looked... concerned, "Why are you pulling away? Is it something I said?"
"Inu-Yasha," Kagome looked into his golden eyes, "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"I..." that question and that look caught him off guard, he pushed away, "Feh, would you rather I be mean to you?"
"That's not answering my question," Kagome persisted, "Why?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Answer my question first!"
"Do I need a reason?"
"Damnit Inu-Yasha!" Kagome stood up abrutly, "Fine then be a jack-ass!"
As she tried to walk off, he reached for her hand. She let her miko powers surge out to singe his finger-tips. "I may be an unrefined miko," Kagome said without turning around, "But I assure you I am one of the strongest you'll ever meet. Don't take me lightly Inu-Yasha!" And with those words, she walked off.
/All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away
Like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away
From all the world/
