Twisted Love

Chapter 35: Somewhere I Belong

InuYasha drove home with a happy Sakura beside him. She sang along with the music that was playing in the car. InuYasha sighed as his nose started to pick up the scent of a storm. The grey clouds started to cover the sky, becoming heavy with the rain. He finally made it home.

"Let's go, Sakura," InuYasha said as he unbuckled the seatbelt that held his daughter in place. Sakura followed her father in to the house.

"Ramen, daddy?" she tugged on his pinky-finger. InuYasha nodded.

"Yep…" He opened the door and turned on the lights. Walking through the living room he entered the kitchen. He sighed. The sense of emptiness filled him.

'Just two weeks, InuYasha, two fucking weeks…then you'll have her back in your arms' InuYasha shook his head. He made the ramen for him and Sakura.

"Thank you, Papa," Sakura watched the television. InuYasha ate his ramen and spread himself across the couch. Later, Sakura nestled herself against InuYasha's chest. Her chin rested on his chest as she looked at him.

"Daddy, I miss mama and Kye," Sakura said. InuYasha smiled.

"I miss 'em to, baby. They'll be back in two weeks," InuYasha said. He nose picked up a crack in Sakura's miko aura. He blinked. What was the small pup sensing?

"What's wrong, pup?"

"I'm scared…" Sakura admitted. InuYasha wrapped his arms around her small frame.

"There's nothing to be afraid of Sakura…I'll always protect you"

"Love you"

"I love you to"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

InuYasha jerked up from his sleep. Slowly, he felt something pull him down. Closing his eyes, he felt as though something was tugging at his soul.

'Mate' His youkai blood whispered. InuYasha shook his head. He felt like half of him was slowly dying. He felt as thought had plunged through half of him, but left the other half alone. Sakura groaned on his chest.

"Sakura?" InuYasha sat up, picking up the small girl. She was sweating and pale. Shaking his head, InuYasha got up. He shook Sakura in his arms.

"Sakura?"

Her golden eyes opened slowly, she cried. "Kye" she rasped out before her head fell against her father's chest. It took about three seconds for that to sink in into InuYasha's brain.

"Fuck," InuYasha growled and panicked. His heart started to race. What happened? Why had Sakura said Kye? Why was she sweaty and pale? Before InuYasha could take another step, he fell to his knees.

'What's…happening…to me…?' InuYasha took in a breath. He felt something pull him down. Sakura slipped from his arms, fell on to the couch. InuYasha's vision became blurry as he felt a part of him die.

'Mate' his youkai cried out in his mind. InuYasha whined. '…Kagome'

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

From a sky view, the broken airplane was huge. They landed in a forest near their destination. The helicopters came down, the rescue team, the FBI, and police officers. A tall blonde haired man and a brunette woman boarded the plane with flashlights.

"Ashley, I don't think anyone is alive," said the blonde haired man. Ashley shook her head with a sighed. Her hazel eyes looked around.

"I think you're right," she said. The walked down the isle, looking and checking everyone for any vital signs of life. "My goodness, Ian, look at these three…"

"She looks so young…" Ian said while looking at Kagome. "Let's start to take 'em out. We'll start here."

Gently, Ian broke Kagome's seatbelt. He lifted her up in to his arms and winced. Ashley gasped.

"What's wrong, Ashley?"

"Th-This boy…he isn't human," Ashley said slowly. Ian looked down at Kye. The boy's puppy ears were dropped down.

"What is he?" Ashley asked. Ian shook his head.

"Dunno…this plane is from Japan," Ian started "Japan has weird creatures and magical people. I bet he's one of those creatures."

"That girl you have whelped him?" Ashley picked up Kye.

"Probably," Ian responded. Kye's dog ear twitched, Ashley screamed but didn't drop him. "Don't move!" he hissed. Slowly, Kye's little radars started to twitch and move to hear any sounds.

His stormy sapphire eyes opened. "M-Mama…" Kye sniffed. His senses were dulled down. He could smell his mother, he just couldn't see her.

"Poor boy…lost his mama," Ian whispered. Kye heard it. Ian and Ashley took Kagome and Kye out. Ian shook his head as he handed Kagome over to another man. Kye howled for his human mother.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The clouds were grey and heavy, the wind whipped his hair around, and his eyes were settled on getting back "home." That is, if you would really call it a home. A part of him was empty, like something was missing. His uncle never explained to him what he needed. A mother? No, he had that already. A father? Maybe, but he remembered his father. His sister? Yes. He knew it. In his dreams, his sister's seven year old face was there. The last time he saw her, at the airport where she had clung to him until his father plucked her off. His little twin sister, her pretty face. He winced.

Sakura.

Kye sighed and threw his back pack over his shoulder. He seriously needed to get out more, but he needed to be with his mother. He had a girlfriend, which he took his stress out on. Not that she minded of course. He rolled his eyes. If his father knew he was alive, if he knew what he was doing…he'd beat his ass with his Tetsusaiga. He walked down the street.

"Kye!"

Kye looked behind him. Shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin was fair and her smile was sweet. Rachel. That was his girlfriend. She ran to catch up with him.

"Hey, Ray…"

"Kye, where are you going? You live that way," she pointed behind her.

"I'm going to see my mother," Kye replied. Rachel looked confused.

"I thought you didn't have a mother, that you only lived with your uncle," Rachel looked around. Kye shrugged. "So…where does your mother live?"

"She doesn't live anywhere…she's just there," Kye said. Rachel looked even more puzzled. "C'mon"

He guided her to the hospital. The nurse already knew who he was, the doctors knew, and everyone else who lived there knew he was Kye Tsuroka. Everyone knew the poor little boy who had been in the plane crash eight years ago, the one who's mother had fallen in to a coma ever since. He entered Kagome's room.

Kagome. Because she was mated with InuYasha, she would age as slow as he did. Hooked up to machines, that was her slumbered life. Kye slowly brought Rachel to his mother. She gasped.

"That's your mother?"

"Yep," Kye sighed. "Tsuroka Kagome, this is my mother"

"She looks so young…to young to have a fifteen-year old son"

'And daughter' Kye thought. "Yeah well…my heritage is something you don't know"

"…Oh"

Kagome slept. Her eyes closed, she never even moved a finger. Her muscles were probably scrunched up from no walking. If she ever woke up, would she be able to walk again? And his father, he never called him to tell him they were all alive. Something had always stopped him. He could never get to call, something always happened. Uncle Souta said that he'd call, but something always happened to him to. It was like someone, somewhere tried to prevent them every damned time they tried.

Kagome took in breaths. Her body pulsed in her miko aura. No one noticed.

Darkness. That was all she knew. A vortex of darkness trying to suck her in. She didn't let it. She was just there. She didn't know how long, but she couldn't move.

"Kagome"

A simple voice. It always called her. She couldn't respond. She felt her magic, her power try to shake her. She felt her power try to wake her. It couldn't. What was wrong with her? She was just lying there, in a black vortex.

"Kagome"

She tried. She couldn't remember anything. Blocked memories, she only heard screams of people. She remembered one name though. InuYasha. She knew it by heart. She tried again.

"Kagome…my sweet beautiful Kagome…"

The voice had said more. She blinked. "Mate"

"Mate," she repeated slowly. She blinked more, she felt her magic try again. It failed.

"Wake up"

"I…can't" she responded. Her mind responded, yet the voice somehow heard her.

"My sweet, strong, courageous, beautiful mate…"

"Mate"

"Wake up"

"I…don't know how…"

"Wake up"

"I…can't"

"Wake up"

"I can't"

"Wake up damnit!" it yelled. "C'mon Kagome! Eight fucking years, now wake up!"

"…don't scream"

"I'm sorry, love…please, wake up"

"Help me…"

"I can't…I'm on the other side of the planet"

"Hey…"

"Hmmm?"

"Wh-Who are you?"

"…" the voice was quiet. "Y-You don't know?"

"No"

"I'm InuYasha…"

"I-InuYasha…pretty name…"

"Kagome"

"Yes?"

"Wake up" there was pain in that voice. She winced. Why did that turn her heart? To hear that voice in pain? Who did it belong to? Why couldn't she remember? Why? She cried.

"Don't cry" more pain.

"Why are you hurt?"

Silence. He answered. "Because…you don't know who I am…"

"Tell me"

"I'm InuYasha…mate"

"Mate"

"Kagome"

"Hmmm?"

"For kami's sake, wake up already"

"B-Baka…"

"Feh"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Dad?"

"What?"

"I'm starving"

InuYasha chuckled. "Let's go eat something"

Sakura smiled and kissed her father's cheek. "Thank you"

"Grab your jacket, pup"

"Kay"

Sakura Tsuroka ran up the stairs and in to her room. She had thick raven-black hair that reached right below her butt. The same silvery side-bangs had grown to, but they were park of her bangs so she didn't mind. Grabbing a brush she narrowed her golden eyes. Getting the knots out of her hair was always hell.

InuYasha was laying on the couch, going over some paper work. Alone, he had raised his fifteen year old daughter. Serenity was there to tell her about girl things. Eight years…long eight years. Sakura was probably gonna take a while. He closed his eyes.


The little silvered hair boy played in his backyard. He left the ball and decided to go to the park for a little while. He entered the house where his mother was cleaning

"Mama, can I go to the park?" asked InuYasha. His little golden eyes giving her the puppy face. She smiled

"Yes, you may. Tell Sesshomaru and Serenity to go with you"

"Kay, mama!" InuYasha shouted and raced off to his brother's room. He entered and saw his brother reading. The older child didn't notice him, but InuYasha tugged on the hem of his shirt. Sesshomaru looked down

"What?" he asked. InuYasha played with his little claws

"Uh, can you come with me to the park?" InuYasha asked. Sesshomaru nodded and put down the book. InuYasha jumped "Yay! I'll go get Serenity!"

InuYasha raced off to his father's office where Serenity usually was. He opened the door and jumped on his father's desk. Serenity looked up at him and gave him a toothy smiled

"Hi, Yashie!" Serenity greeted.

"Serenity, you wanna come to the park with Sess and me?" InuYasha asked. Inu Taisho looked up his son and shook his head.

"Who said you three could go to the park?" asked Inu Taisho

"Mommy" InuYasha responded. Inu Taisho nodded and continued his work. Serenity clapped her hands and jumped off the desk. Inu Taisho jumped off and got bent down a little bit.

"Get on my back Serenity, that way Sess and I can run and get there faster" InuYasha said. Serenity nodded and climbed on his back

"I like when you give me piggy back rides" Serenity said. InuYasha smiled and ran out to meet Sesshomaru. InuYasha and Sesshomaru ran towards the park and got there in ten minutes. The three played for hours and ran around. The ice-cream truck came

"Oh, Sess can I get some ice-cream?" asked Serenity.

"Sure, want some InuYasha?"

"Nope, I'm gonna make some friends" InuYasha said and Sesshomaru nodded

"Be careful, InuYasha" Sesshomaru said and went towards the icecream truck with Serenity holding his hand tightly.

InuYasha saw a couple of kids and ran towards them. Their ball bounced away and landed right in front of InuYasha. He picked it up and went over to the boys and girls playing

"Hi, can I play to?" asked InuYasha. The kids gave him a cold stare and one of the boys stepped forward

"No, you can't you stupid hanyou!" the kid said. InuYasha gave him a puzzled look

"Han-you" InuYasha repeated. The kids laughed

"Stupid, it means half-breed! Like you!" One of the girls said pointing at him.

"I guess hanyous are really stupid" another boy said. InuYasha felt tears swell up in his eyes and they laughed harder.

"What's wrong stupid, you gonna cry"

"Little baby, he doesn't have the power of a demon!"

"Yeah, look he is gonna cry"

"Come on stupid, you afraid" One of the boys said and pushed him to the ground. InuYasha dropped the ball and fell painfully on his butt. His head hung and looked up at them

"Hanyous don't deserve to live, the are a disgrace to both the human and demon race"

"Yeah, like you. So, you don't deserve to live" said one of the girls. She took twig and threw it at InuYasha. He covered his face with his arm and the twig scratched his arm. One of the boys pushed him again and kicked his side. InuYasha grunted in pain and closed his eyes tightly. A girl took a handful of his hair and pulled it hard towards her. She spit on his shirt and took a rock and hit him on the head. InuYasha cried with pain as he was thrown hard onto the pavement side of the park. The other boys threw rocks at him and hit him on his sides. They twisted his wrist and pulled his hair.

"Die half-breed!" one of the kids shouted and a big stick was coming down on him. Inuyasha's little eyes grew wide as he saw that huge shard stick. Then, InuYasha saw a white blur pass in front of him as she stick broke in half. Sesshomaru landed next to InuYasha as little Serenity finally arrived. She rushed to her brother's side

"Yashie, are you ok?" shouted Serenity. Sesshomaru looked at InuYasha and then back at the boy. His eyes narrowed at the kid

"You did this to my brother?" asked Sesshomaru. The kid shook his head

"Please I-" the kid was interrupted when Inuyasha got up and took off running, knocking Serenity to the hard ground.

"Oww" Serenity said "Yashie, come back!"

InuYasha ran away as far as possible. He stopped to rest on a near by bench and a lady was there. She saw him and gasped. His ears twitched as he looked at the lady. Her purse came down on his head

"Oww!" InuYasha shouted. The lady hit him again

"You disgusting half-breed! How dare you sit next to me!" she shouted hitting him again and leaving. InuYasha let his tears freely flow out of his eyes.

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find/That I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck/Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

The older InuYasha walked down the park and jumped up on a tree. He just sat there and then everything erased into another memory. He walked into a small candy store

'Which one would Kagome like?' InuYasha asked himself. Summer was hot and he though his best friend and himself needed some more sugar energy. The man looked at him and spoke

"What are you doing here?"

"Came to buy some candy"

"Get out of my store you disgusting excuse to live!" the man shouted and pushed him to the ground. InuYasha got up and looked at him "I said get out!" he took a broom and hit InuYasha several time pushing him out of the store. InuYasha landed on the hard pavement as the guy hit him on his stomach.

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
It's gone
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

He walked down the street and his sensitive ears caught people talking about him as he passed.

"I thought hanyous were killed"

"Ugh, get away from him sweetie. He might be diseased"

"We should protest and kill every hanyou like him"

"My goodness, that disgusting creature is allowed to walk the town"

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere/Only to find that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain/Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
It's gone
I want to heal

I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

InuYasha ran as fast as he could. Away from all the people and tears streamed down his face as he ran. His destination, the house of the only person who didn't reject him.

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away
I'll find myself today

He jumped into her window and she was looking at an album. He walked in and she turned around

"Hi, InuYasha" Kagome said smiling and then noticed the tears. She got up and went to him "What happened?"

He looked at her and closed his eyes. Without warning he grabbed Kagome and hugged her. His arms went around her waist and she gasped at first, but wrapped her arms around his neck. His face in the crook of her neck and she felt his tears.

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
It's gone
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

"Please don't cry InuYasha" Kagome pleaded. InuYasha tightened his grip on her as he remembered everything that has happened to him.

"I'm here…I love you" Kagome's soft voice soothed him.

I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong
I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

InuYasha opened his eyes. "Dad, I'm ready"

He got up and hugged his daughter. 'Kagome'
