Chapter 3

Miroku grabbed Kagome's wrist as she walked out of the dressing room.

"Kag what happened before I met you?" asked Miroku looking at her worriedly. Kagome looked at him with confusion until it dawned on her. Miroku knew whenever something was wrong with her.

"Nothing. Look can I tell you when we get home... wait what are you doing here anyway?" she asked.

Miroku put on an innocent face. "Inuyasha wanted to see you sing." He said.

"Damn monk. I was dragged into this bar." Replied Inuyasha smacking Miroku upside the head.

"Kagome what truly is wrong?" asked Inuyasha being serious for once.

Kagome looked at him with pain filled eyes. Could she trust him with a secret that only Sango knew? Was he worth it? She decided she would wait. "Just wait a while longer Inuyasha. I will tell you when the time is right."

Inuyasha looked at her confused then nodded to show he agreed. Looking at Miroku, who was on the floor, he picked him up and left after saying goodbye. After they left Sango went up to Kagome.

"Kagome, do you think it's smart to tell them, I mean, what if he comes back?" she asked looking at her friend. Kagome turned to her and smiled.

"Then we better hope he doesn't come back then huh?" she laughed.

Sango gave a chuckle, "I guess so." Turning back to bussing tables.

When Kagome got home Miroku and Jesse instantly grabbed her. They sat her down and forced her to talk.

"Ok," began Kagome, "two years ago I met a man named Naraku. He was very sweet to me and I enjoyed his company. So after seeing eachother for a few months we began to live together. After a while though I noticed he had begun to drink a lot of alcohol. When I asked him about it he would slap me or use other methods to end the topic. One day I was so fed up with it I told him I was leaving. But he grabbed my chin and looked me in the eyes saying, "You said you would stand by me forever... you belong to me." He threw me against the wall and advanced on me again. He nearly beat me to death," Kagome stopped and looked at them with pain filled eyes, "Until someone saved me. I don't know who it was but he pulled the evil creature off me. I passed out but when I woke up I was at Sango's." she finished. She looked at the two astonished faces.

"Kagome... I... I had no idea!" said Miroku.

"How could you live through all that pain?" asked Jesse staring at the ground, "If it were me I would have chose death over all that."

Kagome looked at her cousin and gave her a sad smile, "To tell you the truth I almost did."

Miroku looked at his sister with a sorrowful expression. She truly was a strong person, even after so much abuse she stood strong and began life all over again. He wished he had that kind of courage.

Kagome gave a wide yawn then turned to her brother and cousin, "Sorry guys I need to hit the sack." She said then said good night and went to bed. Miroku and Jesse sat in silence a few moments before heading off to be themselves.

Kagome tossed and turned in her bed. Flashbacks of the night she was saved from Naraku played over in her head like a rewinding tape. She caught glimpses of the man who had saved her. Long silver hair and golden eyes were her only hints. Sango had said that she never saw who dropped her off. She had heard the doorbell and found Kagome that was it. Nothing more was known. Silently she had prayed that her savior would come back for her, but her hopes dried out over the years. Now all she could do was dream.

Inuyasha lay in his own bed with his own problems. That one night. The first time he had seen an angel. He remembered that two years ago in his old apartment his neighbors were unusually loud. He nudged it off as being the lovebirds having some "fun". But then he heard a thump and a scream, a pain filled scream. The coppery sent of blood filled his nostrils and he knew something was wrong. He put his ear to the wall and heard a man saying, "You said you would stand by me forever... you belong to me." Upon hearing that he ran over and crashed down the door. He knocked the bastard unconscious and looked at the girl. She was bathed in moonlight and blood, but even in her horrible state, she was beautiful. Her long ebony hair fell around her face, leading him to believe she was a fallen angel. Picking up an address book he found an address that was the one of her best friends. He picked up the girl and took her there. He placed her on the doorstep and rang the doorbell. He hid behind some bushes and made sure she was ok. He knew he would most likely never see her again, but he hoped. But not all dreams come true...

The next morning he awoke from the immense sunlight pouring in. most likely the work of a maid. He got up and stretched loudly. He then moved to the shower where he, well, showered. Getting dressed he realized a note on his side table. It told him that Miroku had called and told him to meet him at the club. Seeing as he would see Kagome again, he agreed.

The night at the club was extremely busy. Kagome, Sango and Ayame were all wondering if the whole town was there. They were even too busy to talk. Kagome was then rushed back stage to sing her number.

Tonight she was wearing a long black skirt with a black turtleneck. Tonight she was singing, My last breath, by Evanescence.

(ok peeps I am not depressed if that's what you think. I just happen to like this song.)

Hold onto me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

Kagome looked out to the audience. Why did she have to sing such a sad song? Who picked these songs anyway? (little does she know)

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight.

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears.

Inuyasha looked up. What was up with all the sad songs? Who came up with this stuff? He could tell Kagome wanted to sing a happier song.

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No ones there.

Say good night

Don't be afraid

Calling me, calling me as you fade to black.

Kagome bowed as she finished the song and everyone applauded. "Thank you!" she said, "And have a good night!"

She walked back stage. Suddenly arms grabbed her around her waist and pulled her into the dressing room.

Angel: Dun, dun, duhhhhhh! Cruel irony is what set the lovers apart! And who is this person grabbing Kagome? Naraku? Only the next chapter can answer these questions! So stayed tuned! Until next time Ja!
