Disclaimer: Don't own Inu, Kikyou or whoever else appears. xD Nor do I own the title, actually.
A/N: I'm bored. And so I write a one-shot. xD Good plan, ne? Heh. I've been toying with this idea and I think it'd be fun to finally do. Beware: Fluff ahead!. ) The title is directly taken from Savage Garden's song; "A thousand words" because I think it would suit. )
On with the show!
A Thousand Words
Dead Punk Girl
InuYasha's Point of view.
You can call me crazy, you can call me a two-timer, and you can call me the biggest asshole in the world. I love two women, and I'm not going to tell you I don't. Because on top of being a crazy, two-timing asshole, I'd be a liar.
They're a lot alike, these two girls. One of them makes me so mad I could strangle her. One makes me so sad I want to break down and cry. One of them takes care of me when I hurt, and the other makes me hurt. One can make me smile when something is bothering me, one doesn't even try.
Well, when I do think about it, the only things they hold in common are their looks. They're both so pretty. And their talent with a bow and arrow. I'm always astounded by how fast one learnt how to use it, actually. The other, you'd think she was born with an arrow notched back.
I can't pick favourites between them and I don't intend to try. I think I'd go insane if I had to. I'm happy with them both being mine, though I worry that one of these days they're both going to disappear from my life. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have one of them with me.
I can't imagine life without them. I think, if that whole betrayal crap hadn't taken place, I'd be a different man. Way, way different. Though, according to the one, I don't act like a man. She says I act like I'm 5 years old.
What a brat, hey?
That's okay, though. That 'brat' makes me smile to no end, even if she doesn't see it. If I had to choose who I'd be with for the rest of my life, I think I'd pick her.
She likes me for me.
Not because I'm half human, not because I can make her life easy.
I make her cry, I call her names, and I treat her like she's the dirt beneath my feet…
And still…
She likes me because I'm me.
That's a nice thought.
The other, however, she doesn't want me for me. She's never wanted me to be myself. I had to be a human, or things wouldn't work. She made that clear, I think, at the beginning.
She doesn't like me for me.
Somehow, I think things became clearer on who I'm intending to spend my life with.
When thinking about it, I do know.
I don't want the one that doesn't know how to smile. I don't want the one who doesn't know how to laugh. I don't want the one who can only see the bad things in a good situation.
I want the one whose smile could put the sun to shame. I want the one who laughs even when things are bad. I want the one who can see great things in a horrible situation.
I want the one who makes me happy, the one who takes care of me, worries about me.
I want the one who loves me…
But still, I go to her like a dog. I'm seeking her love, her acceptance and I don't want it. I hurt the one I do love. I make the one I love so much it hurts, cry. And I can't ever change that, I don't think.
Because I'll always be a man who's torn between two people who are so much alike they're opposites.
And if I told you any different, I'd be a liar now, wouldn't I?
Yup.
My name is InuYasha and I'm in love with two women.
Their names?
Kagome and Kikyou.
A/N: Actually, there are 613 words in total, not 1000, but we'll forget that, eh? ) I was going to put Kagome's thoughts on the situation but I thought, nah. Personally, I think it may ruin the whole damned thing. And the point of this; which is my thoughts on what the hell he's thinking when he bounces back and forth. ) Simple, eh?
Well, that's all I wanted to say. HURRAY FOR ONE-SHOTS THAT OCCUPY A STUPID FAN-GIRL'S MIND!
P.S: I think I said 'thoughts' or a form of that at least 8 times in that crummy A/N... xD What a versatile word!
P.P.S: XD With the author's note and all, there are 801.
