Hurtful Melody: chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or anyone else but damn I wish I owned Sesshomaru :)
Later that night
Inuyasha, Miroku, Kikyo Shippo and Sango are all asleep while Sesshomaru and Kagome are taking the first watch to make sure that none of the demons slip through Kagome's barrier. Kagome starts clicking her tongue.
"Could you please stop doing that?" Sesshomaru says in an annoyed tone. Kagome starts clicking her tongue louder and stops with a sigh when she sees the look on Sesshomaru's face.
"I'm sorry sesshomaru I'll try and respect your royal needs" Kagome says in a very sarcastic way, She leans up against the wall of the cave and starts thinking of her moms cooking." I could be home eating with my family right know" she thought.
"I could take a bath and sleep in my bed and I wouldn't have to worry about any of this," She muttered in exasperation at the sheer impossibility of the situation if front of her.
"Do not worry yourself woman. I will kill Naraku and you will not have to worry about anything anymore. He said in he monotone voice but behind that there was he usually superior tone.
"What makes you think that you will win against Naraku where we have all failed many times" She asked in a mocking tone knowing it would get on his nerves and since she had nothing better to do.
" I will defeat Naraku" He said anger growing in his voice.
"Wow Sesshomaru watch out your starting to show emotion I think I'll die of shock" She said followed by a wholehearted laugh that woke up Shippo.
"Kagome" Shippo said, "How can you laugh like that when we'll most likely die in the morning" He said tears welling in his eyes. Kagome opened her arms to Shippo.
"Shippo come here," She said in a motherly tone similar to the one your mom gives you after you've had a bad dream. Shippo jumped into Kagomes eyes looking like he was ready to cry.
"KAGOME I DON'T WANT TO DIE" He screamed in-between sobs. Kagome held him tighter thinking desperately of what would make him stop crying.
"Shippo were not going to die" Kagome said trying desperately to sooth the heartbroken child.
"How do you know?" He asked as if he were hoping for a miracle.
"Because we always make it through Shippo why will this time be any different" She said as though that should be enough of an argument for a child.
" Kagome that's stupid". Shippo said out of exasperation
"Shippo do not worry we'll make it through know go to bed" She said growing steadily annoyed of the fact that he out smarted her.
"How can a kid be that logical?" she thought as she tucked him into bed.
"Kagome will you sing me a song" He said as though he'd start crying again if she didn't.
"Um..." Kagome said nervously
"Please Kagome just one song" He said tears welling in his eyes again.
"Alright shippo but I only know songs from my time so they may be a little different" she said uneasily
" I don't care just please sing for me it always makes me feel better. Shippo said as he snuggled closer to the blankets
" Alright this song is called "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day" Kagome said sounding a bit nervous. Sesshomaru was watching this whole scene play out and as much as he hated to admit it she was good with children and it was funny to watch her get outsmarted by a child. He was also a little excited to here her sing.
"I wonder why she seems so nervous" He thought.
"I walk a Lonely Road
The only one I've ever known
Don't know where it goes
But its Home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
'Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the lane
That diluides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
AND I WALK ALONE
I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk this empty street on the Blvd. of Broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My Shallow hear's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone to there will find me
"Til then I walk alone"Kagome sang this song as though she's belted it a thousands time below. Shippo had fallen asleep in the middle of the song but kagome kept singing.
"Wow sad how much I think like that song" Kagome mumbled why'll kissing shippo on the forehead. Then walking over to the side of the cave where she leaned up against the same patch of wall as below.
"Your nothing like that song"Sesshomaru said in his monotone his anger had left why'll she was singing. She jumped at his words as though she had forgotten that he was there.
"Sesshomaru forgot you where there" She said softly as though she was ashamed to have reveled a weakness to him.
"You are nothing like that song," Sesshomaru repeated as thought she hadn't heard him the first time.
"Sesshomaru... You really don'......." Kagome said before she was cut of my Sesshomaru
"You have no idea what's it like to walk the world alone" Sesshomaru said in monotone yet still sounding kind of hurt.
"Sesshomaru I didn't mean to offend yo...." Kagome managed to get out before she was cut of again.
" I do not get offended by humans," He said in anger
"He's back to his old self," She thought
"Sesshomaru" Kagome said as she walked over to him.
"Your right" Kagome said again as she sat down next to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"What are you doing wench" Sesshomaru said in pure loathing
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh Kagome said
"Just for tonight" she said, " We may not live through the next day" she said her voice choking
"Just let me pretend I have someone who cares about and loves me. She said exhausted and just frustrated " Just for tonight. Sesshomaru looked down at her.
"Why in the world would she ask for such a thing."? He thought, " More importantly why am I allowing it?" He thought again as he wrapped his arm around her.
