Heal My Broken Heart *~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Yo, sup my people! Glad to be back! Happy now? I PUT OUT ANOTHER CHAPTER! PAAARTY!!! REEEEVIEW!!! Oh, and by the way, I shall answer all of your reviews... after chapter 4! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem... Anyways... Vixy hasn't been much help lately, so that's why I've been so slow... And Kirby's been eating too much. Now he is chubby. Actually, he already was chubby. He's chubbier!

Kirby: (=^-^=)()

KIRBY! PUT DOWN THE COOKIE!!! NOW! I'VE BEEN PUTTING YOU ON A DIET, YOU KNOW THAT!

Kirby! (=O-O=)()

No... Not the Bambi eyes... All right, fine! You can have this ONE cookie. BUT NO MORE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!

Ahem... Now that I'm done that, onto the story! ^-^ *~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*

Sitting by the water, Inuyasha braced himself. 'This won't hurt.' He thought, smiling grimly. 'This will end my pain. Soon...'

His sensitive ears picked up the sound of running feet, crashing through the bush. He thought nothing of it, until his nose picked up three smells, colliding together. The smell of Shippou, Sango, and a fair amount of... fear. It is said that dogs can tell when someone is afraid. Dog youkai possess this trait, also.

Suddenly, he heard a yell, met with a swishing sound.

"Hiraikotsu!"

Completely unprepared for the blow, Inuyasha found Tetsusaiga knocked from his hand, landing about ten feet away, but unbroken. He looked up and saw Sango looking down at him, breathing heavily. It was obvious that she had run very fast to catch him, as Kiara was out helping a village against a youkai attack.

'She was running... for me...' Inuyasha thought, realizing it. Then, he shook off the comforting though. 'No. No ones cares for a half-breed.' Tears coursed down his face, and this time, he didn't care who saw.

"Inuyasha?" Sango said tenderly. "What happened?" Her soft brown eyes stared into his amber ones, as if trying to pierce his soul and find the answer to her question.
Inuyasha gazed up at her, as if all of this was a dream and soon he would awaken from it to find himself up in his tree. And –she- would be there, comforting him. (A/N: Three guesses who 'she' is. -_-;)

As Sango looked down at Inuyasha, she felt a stirring in her heart for him. She did not know what had happened, but to make Inuyasha cry and to try and kill himself... It must have been bad indeed. 'Inuyasha is a warrior' thought Sango, 'so he will make it. I know he will.'

"What do you want, Sango?" Inuyasha asked, his voice sounding dead. His half-glazed eyes looked up at her. They were filled with pain, sorrow and confusion. Sango almost had to look away. It frightened her that the tough, determined warrior that refused to give up now looked so destroyed.

"I want to know what happened."

Inuyasha's eyes flickered in remembrance. His voiced was full of bitterness as he spoke.

"You want to know what happened? I'll tell you what happened! Kagome went off and left me for Kouga! After I told her I loved her! After all we've been through! After she told me she would never leave me! SHE LEFT ME!"

Inuyasha was panting heavily, tears threatening to fall from his deep amber eyes. But they didn't. Inuyasha was done crying. Now he was just angry.

"She has the NERVE to tell me she loves me, then she gets up and leaves! WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE HER LEAVE? After promising to be my mate, she goes to Kouga! And do you know what the worst part is? I really loved her! Not the fifteen year old love which leaves when you find someone else, really LOVED her!"

Sango just stood there, looking shocked. She couldn't believe it. Kagome, leave Inuyasha? After he had put Kikyo to rest for her? After he had protected her, and after she had promised to become his future mate? 'It's not possible!' She thought, staring at Inuyasha with her mouth half- open. 'Kagome? Leave Inuyasha?'

"There." Inuyasha said, suddenly broken again. "Now you know. I have no one left in the world. First my mother left me, then Kikyo, now Kagome... and this time, she had a choice. Obviously, no one can love a hanyou and live with one for too long." Bitterness crept into his voice again, and he looked away, into the water. Stared at his reflect for what seemed like, to Sango, Shippou, and Inuyasha, hours. Then, he reached a clawed hand into the water...

And drew it back.

"No." he said, smiling without humor. "I'm tired of being hated for what I am. Since no one can stand to be with a hanyou, I will be with no one. I will live in the woods, and protect the village. Although no one can care for a hanyou, I can care for others."

Sango was deeply moved by his statement, and felt compassion for the distraught hanyou. In a few short footsteps, she ran to Inuyasha, and encircled her arms around his neck. Soft teardrops fell into his haori.

"I'll be here for you Inuyasha." She whispered, "If you'll let me."

"That's what Kagome said." Replied Inuyasha, still gazing sadly at his reflection.

Slowly, Sango reached down and caught his clawed hand in hers. Inuyasha looked up at her tear-stained face, and saw her slowly smile.

"I'm not Kagome." *~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*

Wow! Three pages! ~Reviewers throw watermelons~ OUCH! Fine! Maybe the next chapter will be longer...

Well, please review! I had fun with this one, although it was REALLY hard to write. I had to make Sango seem a little in character. If any of these seem OOC, let me explain it to you...

Kagome: Kagome? Well, we actually are not sure why she ditched Inuyasha. Probably because she's a stupid little person. In my opinion, of course.

Miroku: Oh, Miroku and his lecherous ways. He left Sango because another girl was prettier, probably.

Shippou: Inuyasha is probably closer to him now that the quest is done and they have defeated Naraku. He considers him a father in this story, and Inuyasha considers Shippou his adopted son. Shippou found Inuyasha trying to kill himself, then finds out that Kagome betrayed Inuyasha for Kouga, who he REALLY doesn't like because Kouga kidnapped him and Kagome.

Sango: Sango never suspected that Kagome could do something like that to Inuyasha. She knew that Inuyasha loved Kagome, and she thought that Kagome loved Inuyasha. She is still hurting because Miroku let her, so she feels bad for Inuyasha because she feels that he probably has it worse then she did, considering that they were together for a longer period of time.

Inuyasha: Ok... if you haven't gotten this already, Inuyasha has a fragile soul because Kikyo and his mother have already left him, leaving him alone, because all of his life he was tormented because he was a hanyou, meaning no one would come near him, and everyone hated him. Then he meets Kagome, whom he falls in love with, and later, she says that she loves and promises to become his future mate. She then breaks him by leaving him for Kouga, whom he was a rival with for the affections of Kagome. Now he is brokenhearted, and believes that no one cares for him because he is a hanyou.

THERE! Whoo, that took a while...

REVIEW!
