Chapter 4: It Can all End in Seconds
Disclaimer: Look, if I really did own Inuyasha, Do you think I would be wasting my time with this stupid fan fic?
A/N: just like I promised I reviewed this chapter and changed the ending. *sees the relief on everyone's faces* My original ending was that bad huh? I thought so……anyways that ending was also the cause of my writers block….but now that its changed writing has been a lot easier! Well anyways hope you enjoy! On with the fic!
~Normal POV~
That moment of peace and tranquility didn't last long. At the same instant both Inuyasha and Kagome seemed to snap back to reality. They realized what they were doing and quickly let go of each other, blushing furiously. They sat in silence, unable to look upon the other. It seemed that each was waiting for the other to speak, unable to speak themselves. It was Kagome that was first to break the silence……..
"Inuyasha?"
One of Inuyasha's ears perked up to show that he was listening.
"Thank you for saving me." She spoke quietly.
Inuyasha got up and turned so his back was facing her.
"Feh! It was nothing. Next time just be more careful. I can't be running around saving you all the time."
Kagome nodded guiltily. Inuyasha turned around and looked at Kagome. Her head was bowed in guilt and shame. Inuyasha's heart ached. He hated seeing her like this. He longed to hold her again, longed to tell her how he felt………
'Well why don't you?' His heart urged.
"Oh no! Not you again' Inuyasha moaned
'Yes me again. I have been with you ever since you first met her. I know that you love her. You love her so much that you can't stand it. I have said time and time again to tell her the truth behind your feelings. But you always ignore me! You can never bring yourself to do it. Never can gather up the courage. Don't forget, I know the truth. You're afraid……..very afraid. You're afraid that she won't feel the same. You're afraid of being rejected. But hell……..you should be used to that feeling- of being rejected. All your life you've been shunned because of what you are. Never found a place where truly belong did you? Never found a race where you fit in. Demons hate and despise you because you are nothing more than a half- breed. A demon, but5 you have human blood flowing in your veins. And the humans? They fear you. They are disgusted with your very presence. They will never accept you because of your youkai blood. Half demon. Half human. A hanyou. That's what you are. And because of this you believe that it is your destiny to always be alone……….but what you don't realize is that this girl – This simple human girl- could change all that. She can drive away the loneliness that is in your heart if you would only tell her how you fe-"
"Shut up!" Inuyasha growled. "Stop telling me what to do!"
'Oh that's right!' his heart mocked. 'You think that you don't deserve her! You think that you are not even worth her considering! You think that she will never love you because you are nothing more than a worthless pathetic hanyou! But how do you know how she feels when you don't even give her or yourself the chance!"
Inuyasha opened his mouth in an angry protest but before he could say what he wanted to say, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Inuyasha, why are you talking to yourself?"
Kagome was still sitting on the blood-stained floor and was looking at Inuyasha with a mix of concern and suspicion, thinking that he had gone crazy. Inuyasha blinked a few times.
"I wasn't talking to myself."
"Yes you were. You were murmuring words under your breath."
"Okay fine! I was talking to myself. Happy now?"
"No I 'm not. What were you saying?"
"Look," Inuyasha stated irritably. "That really doesn't matter right now! What does is that we need to get outta here!"
A sound, none like Inuyasha ever heard before, the sound of a gun being cocked rang out from behind them. Inuyasha turned on his heels, ready to face the new threat that endangered them. But in both of them turning around they came face to face with a rifle…….and it was pointed straight at Inuyasha.
