Alone
Chapter 2
Do you ever wanna be somebody else?
Are sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Inuyasha sat on a grassy hill, watching the wind make ripples across the clear lake.
"Inuyasha, do I look human to you?" a voice asked. It sounded familiar, but the sincerity and soul in it were distant and little.
"Inuyasha?" the voice repeated. Finally, he turned his head to look at the speaker. It was a girl.
"Ka---." Immediately he stopped himself. "Kikyo, what are you talking about?"
"Do I look human to you?" the priestess said again.
"Feh." Inuyasha returned his gaze to the lake. "Yeah, I guess you do."
"I can't be normal. I can't be a normal woman, Inuyasha." Kikyo's voice still held no emotion. "If I let down my guard as a priestess, I lose."
"Humph," Inuyasha replied hastily. "Don't care." Kikyo turned around, suddenly excited.
"Use the Shikon jewel. Use it to become human." Kikyo crawled to over to him. "Come see me tomorrow, I'll see to the rest." Inuyasha sighed and blinked as the day rushed by in a blur.
With his ears twitching with every sound around him, Inuyasha sat. He sat waiting his miko, his Kikyo. He heard movement behind him.
There Kikyo stood, clutching her bow in one hand and the Shikon-no-Tama in the other. "You shouldn't have come, dearest," she muttered.
"But, why?" Inuyasha asked innocently. "I… I… uh… I love you though."
"Heh, you are but a hanyou. You're never going to be pure enough for me. Neither one or the other," Kikyo scoffed. She notched an arrow into the bow.
"But you came. You brought the Shikon jewel," Inuyasha pleaded as he watched Kikyo pull back the drawstring. "Kikyo don't do this."
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha," Kikyo whispered. She let got of the string and the arrow flew at Inuyasha. He tried to move, but he was frozen in place.
"Kikyo, I thought…" The impact of the arrow threw him into the tree and pinned him there. Kikyo turned to leave.
"I won't be having you betray me again, Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called up worriedly. She hadn't seen much movement from him lately. She heard him groan. Kagome picked up a rock and threw it up at him. It hit the branch under the hanyou and the noise startled him awake.
"WHOA!" Inuyasha lost his balance and tumbled to the ground.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big, fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding
"What was that for, wench?" Inuyasha growled. Kagome, flinched at the word, but brushed it off.
"Are you okay? You seem… um…" Kagome reached up to wipe some sweat off Inuyasha's forehead, but decided against it. "You seem distant tonight." Inuyasha's ears slumped just a little disappointed that Kagome's hand hadn't reached his forehead. Her cool hands on his hot forehead would've been paradise.
Kagome gave the agitated hanyou one of her genuine "are-you-sure-you're-okay" looks. "Something wrong, Inu—"
"Feh."
"What?"
"Nothing's wrong. Jus go away, just leave me alone."
Kagome hung her head and sighed.
"You still here?" Inuyasha scoffed irritably.
Kagome stood up and dusted off her skirt and started to stalk away. She stopped before entering Kaede's hut. "SIT BOY!"
"No, n--!" Inuyasha slammed into the ground, creating a "perfect-fit" crater. "Damn it, Kagome," Inuyasha said, rubbing his head. "I didn't mean it that way." You think I don't want to tell you? he thought remorsefully. I just don't want you to worry about me, like you always do.
When nothing feels alright
Nothing was going well for Inuyasha. First he was having horrible dreams, and now he had Kagome mad at him. Why is my life so fricking messed up? Inuyasha yelled in his head. He climbed back up into the tree. He could've gone to the lake, but he didn't want to stray to far from Kagome.
To be hurtTo feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When your down
