Chapter 11
FLASHBACK"You're friend, Kikyou called a while ago." he repeated, going out of the kitchen carrying their dinner.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"She said I don't have to. She talked to me instead. You know, I think she's lonely. She's got some kind of problem right now." Sesshoumaru said with a mark of worry in his voice.
END FLASHBACK
Birds are tweet tweeting their way to the trees by the time Inuyasha and his brother woke up. He thought it was really good of him to wake up this early even though he didn't sleep much that night.
Something was bothering him. Kikyo might just be a new friend to him, but…that's it…she's his friend. And even though it's not conspicuous, he really cares much about his friends.
What he didn't know is…Sesshoumaru is more troubled than he is last night. He didn't know what happened to him but he found himself caring for Kikyo. And that bothered him.
Both went to the kitchen to have some water with a grumpy look plastered on their faces.
"What are we going to have for breakfast?" Inuyasha asked breaking the silence in the house.
"Maybe…just a couple of bread. I don't want to cook this early in the morning. Anyway, I didn't have much rest last night." Sesshoumaru said taking a seat on their table in the dining room.
"Yeah…me too." Inuyasha remarked.
Inuyasha came to his senses and a couple of questions fluttered in his mind. 'What did he say? He didn't sleep well last night? Is that because of Kikyo or what?'
"You care about her do you?" Inuyasha crowed after a few moments' silence.
"N—no…I just had problems in sleeping last night." Was the answer.
"Oh, come on. You're not telling the truth." Inuyasha continued to tease.
"What if I say 'yes'! It's none of your business!" His brother answered.
"It may be my business, you know. You're my brother…and you're finally falling in love." Inuyasha answered with a smile.
"So what if I am?" Sesshoumaru said, carrying on the bad mood style of getting Inuyasha stop asking him awkward questions.
"Nothing. It's just so…unusual for you to care for a girl…"
Sesshoumaru finally let out a small smile…yet it was kind of painful. "But she likes you…Why do you get more attention from girls than I do? I'm more good looking than you!" he said in a joking manner.
"Look who's talking!" Inuyasha remarked with a sneer.
The day passed without them knowing that it's almost the end of the day. The sun is getting ready to set in the west side of the sky. The bright orange of its rays mixing with the pink and indigo shades of the once light blue sky. Soon, the moon will come out of its hiding place accompanied by the small twinkling stars.
The two are outside admiring the beautiful day's end when a girl with long, ebony hair came running to them.
It was Kikyo…and she's crying because of some unknown pain.
"What is it?" Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru said at the same time.
"I've been meaning to ask help from you…but it's too late." She choked out of her tears. "I'm alone now. All alone."
"I'll go get some water and a piece of towel." Sesshoumaru said as he made his move towards the silent house.
Inuyasha held Kikyo's hand and tried to comfort her. Her tears came flowing down her cheeks steadily.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.
"My sister, Kaede. The only family I have…died." She answered, pain and anguish obvious in her feminine voice. "A car was running at top speed even though the stop lights are red…She was crossing the street when I was just looking for something and then I just saw her body…flying…and then crashed…" with that, renewed tears came down her cheeks.
"Inuyasha! Where did you put the damn towels!" Sesshoumaru shouted from inside the house.
"Look in the laundry room. I put some of the newly washed clothes there!"
"There's so many blood. I could do anything to help her…it's all my fault…" she said as she continued to cry.
Inuyasha embraced her protectively and hushed her. He didn't want to see anyone crying. "No, it's not your fault. It's the stupid driver's fault." With that his embrace tightened to make Kikyo feel okay.
Kagome POVShe called her mom to fetch her things at the airport. She also told her that she would go straight to Inuyasha to surprise him. Kagome road a taxi and stopped shortly before Inuyasha's home.
It's a nice time to surprise him. What with the sun setting bringing a magical aura around her.
She ran to the gate of their yard. "Inu—" she was stopped short.
Her mind was making a little progress about what is happening in front of her.
…You say that you've always been true
Looking in your eyes I see you lie
You're trying hard to hide
That there's someone new you found and
You want me to believe that you still care…
Inuyasha and a girl she doesn't know.
…How can you hurt me this way
Everything I knew was loving you
How could you try pretending
Your love was never ending
Now you will still believe that you will stay…
Inuyasha is embracing the girl. Tears are starting to well up in her eyes. She thought Inuyasha said that he loves her. Is all that a dream now?
…How, how could you say you love me
When you would go and leave me
How could you make me hurt so bad
When I have love you more than anyone can do
can't believe the pain
that the feeling now because of loving you...
Inuyasha looked up and saw the person he always wanted to see.
She came back…finally came back…
He slowly let go of Kikyo as his brother Sesshoumaru came. Even Sesshoumaru was startled. Kagome is…back.
Kikyo turned around to see whom they are gaping at. 'Is that her? Kagome?' she thought.
Inuyasha walked forward as if in slow motion. "Kagome?" he asked uncertainly. "You came back!" with that he ran towards her and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much."
"I didn't realize that." She answered coldly.
Inuyasha was taken aback by the reply. Kagome pushed him away from her as if he has some kind of disease.
Now Inuyasha saw that she was in tears…and the expression of her face. It was all sad and painful.
They looked at each other for a moment. Then, an unpleasant sound echoed through the yard.
Kagome just slapped Inuyasha on the face. "I hate you."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
This is the longest chapter I have ever entered for this fic of mine. Well, I need to put all the details here if I don't want to end up still having a dozen chaps before I end the story. So far this is the most painful chap I have ever made. Please bear with me, I'm still depressed with the parting of my beloved section 2- Rutherford. Anyway please review this chap…it's really important for me. Thanks…

P.S. For someone who reviewed (I'm sorry I didn't get your name before typing this) Kouga is just someone irrelevant here. He's a playboy here…therefore he's already forgotten Kagome. Miroku and Sango are the same…they are irrelevant in the story. They just passed by here…Hehe…But say…maybe I can make a fic about them…blink
