A New Life: My Last Breath
Chapter Three
An Empty Seat
#%#%#%
Me: Okay, so this is where I got the idea from Spider-man2. If you haven't watched it yet but are planning to, it's not a spoiler! It's just a small yet a little major from the movie. If you've watched it, you'll see. And it comes with a little Evanescence here.
Disclaimer - I don't own Inuyasha. I don't own Spider-man. I don't own Evanescence. I could go on forever.
But I DO own Naomi! So if you want to use her ask me!
#%#%#%
"No, no, NO!" Noku shrieked. She went over to Marakou and grabbed her shoulder. "How can this be? TELL ME!!"
"Noku's good." Naomi whispered to Kristen. Kristen nodded.
"And Marakou's been keeping her fair share thoughout the play.
"Yeah¡.." Naomi was no longer listening to Kristen talking. She scanned the crowd to find Inuyasha, but it was hard to see beyond the people on stage. Let alone, the curtains had to be closed.
"It's great Haniku." Marakou said. "It's great." She gripped a knife tightly behind her back.
"What's great?" asked Noku. "What is great? Tell me."
"It's great that your DEAD!!" Marakou pulled the fake knife from behind her back and stabbed Noku in the shoulder. Fake blood spurted everywhere. The crowd let "oo's" and "aww's" at his realistic scene.
Noku let out a loud gasp as she crumbled to the floor and lay on her stomach, not moving. As Marakou tried to walk away, Noku grabbed her shoe.
Marakou stared down at the girl. "You're alive?" she asked.
"God." Noku murmured, breathing heavy breaths in. "God won't let you get away."
Then her head slumped forward and her whole body went limp.
Marakou shook the dead hand off her shoe.
"God won't let me get away huh?" she said. She pulled the knife out of Noku's shoulder while more blood gushed out.
"Was that a warning?" Marakou wondered outloud. She faced the crowd. "Well that doesn't matter anymore." She ran her fingers along the blood stained knife.
"Because now that she's dead, I'm going to finish what I started."
Then the curtains up on stage dropped down and the crowd burst out cheering.
Marakou ran backstage drenched it sweat.
"It's hot up there!" she cried, getting a drink of water.
"You were great." Noku said. "But I think the blood smells a little. Augh. I'm going to have to take a nice hot bath."
"Oh wow. Thanks." Marakou said.
"Naomi, you're up soon." Kristen said, shaking her arms. "Naomi? Naoooooomiiiiiiiii?????"
Naomi stopped glancing at the crowd and floated back down to reality. "Sorry Kristen. What was that?"
"And now we present an song interlude, performed by our own¡..Naomi Hikaru!!"
The crowd applauded.
"Go!" her three friends pushed her onto the stage.
Naomi took the microphone from Juraku-san and bowed to the crowd.
"You don't remember me, but I remember you." She sang soothingly, while searching her eyes through the crowd. "I lie awake and try to hard not to think of you."
There was a loud banging and screaming outside the theater doors. A few peopled looked behind them to see what the ruckus was, but Naomi ignored it.
"But who can decide what they dream? And dream I do¡."
Where IS he? Naomi wondered. Why isn't he here? I told him to come! I told him I counted on him! She soon realized that a tear rolled down her cheek as she looked in the crowd and saw her family. Even JOEY had come to see this! And he HATED plays! So why wasn't Inuyasha here?
Trying not to sob, she sang the next part.
"I believe in you¡." She sang, her voice trailing off, then going back in. "I'll give up everything just to find you¡."
I'd give up everything¡.would I? I just want Inuyasha to come see me. For this one night¡
"I have to be with you, to live, to breath, you're taking over me¡."
It's a new moon tonight! Naomi thought angrily. There's NO excuse why he should be here! Unless he forgot. Unless he's forgotten what this means to me.
"Have you forgotten all I know, and all we had?"
Naomi widened her eyes as she realized how much the song had in contact with her present reality. Still, on the verge of tears she kept singing and singing.
"I believe in you." She sang and thought at the same time.
I DID believe in you. She thought bitterly. And you let me down.
"I have yo be with you, to live, to breathe, you're taking over me."
She found her body trembling. She dropped the microphone, and the speakers let out a loud squeal causing everyone to cover her ears. Her face was red and wet from tears. She stared at the crowd one more time, then ran backstage.
"Naomi!" Kristen yelled, trailing after her.
"Leave me alone!" Naomi cried as she pulled on her coat and ran through the backstage door to outside. She turned through the school and gasped as she saw Inuyasha, leaning against the wall, ears pressed tightly, trying to listen.
"Inuyasha." She said, coldly.
Inuyasha brought his eyes up to look at her. He started to walk towards her, then stopped.
"Naomi." He murmured.
"Where WERE you Inuyasha?" Naomi cried. She wanted to slap him across the cheek. So wanted to punch him, but instead, she ran forward and snuggled into his arms. She snuggled her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her and embraced her in a warm hug.
"I'm sorry Naomi." He whispered. "I remembered. I really did. In fact, I couldn't wait anymore. But I did. I think I waited too long though. I went to the doors and they wouldn't let me in. They said I had came late. Then I picked a fight with them and they threw me out. Those bastards."
"You really remembered?" Naomi asked, pressing more weight against him.
"How could I forget?"
"Then you really do care?" asked Naomi.
Inuyasha pulled her close. "I never said I didn't."
Naomi looked her watch.
"I'm going home Inuyasha. I don't want to go back in there and see everyone's disappointed faces." She sighed. "Come with me Inuyasha. Please? I don't want to be alone. Not tonight at least." Her fingers fiddled with his black hair.
"Okay." Inuyasha said, with hurt in his voice. "I'll come."
#%#%#%
Naomi lay her head on Inuyasha's lap while he sat on the couch stroking his hair.
"I feel bad." Inuyasha murmured. "I'm sorry I let you down."
"It's fine." Naomi said with a tint of coldness in her voice. "I know you meant well. I know you never forgot and you had been intending to come. It's just that¡.."
"Just what?"
"I just wish you could have seen it. It meant a lot to me that I got the part. And I blew it."
"No you baka." Inuyasha mumbled. "I blew it. I let you down. And.."
"And what?" asked Naomi.
"I'm sorry."
Naomi got off him. "Inuyasha I think it's time for you to go now."
"what?"
"It's just that, the plays over soon and my parents will be back soon." She murmured. "They won't be happy to see you here."
Inuyasha got up. "Okay. Bye." He stopped at the door way.
"Oy, Naomi?" he asked.
"Yeah?"
"Your not mad, are you?"
Naomi paused, then closed her eyes and sighed. "No. I'm just depressed that's all. I'll see you soon." She waved him goodbye and he smiled as he left.
A few minutes later, Naomi's parents came home.
"Naomi?" Mrs. Hikaru asked. She looked around the house to see if her daughter was there. She walked upstairs and peered inside Naomi's room and found her sleeping in bed.
Mrs. Hikaru smiled as she sat down beside her unconscious daughter and stroked her hair.
Who knows what happened. She thought. She looked closer and saw wet spots on her pillow. Naomi had been crying.
Mrs. Hikaru stood up and gave her daughter one last glance before closing the door.

Me: Okay, this chapter kinda sucked, but it will be some Nao/Sess fluff soon!
Inuyasha: You bitch! She's pissed off at me!
Me: She didn't say that!
Inuyasha: But you could tell!
Me: But I'm not pissed at you! (hops on Inuyasha's back)
Inuyasha: (sigh)
