Have
you ever needed someone so bad?
Chapter 2
The
scent caught his nose immediately, before he even awoke up from his
dreams. His eyes flashed open as he whispered one word..."Kikyou!"
He was up and gone before he could take in a full breath. It wasn't
long till he caught sight of her soul collectors gliding eerily above
like they always did. He ran through the thick bundles of vines that
twisted together to form their own unique pattern. Never did he stop,
not even when the vines scratched and dug at his skin, he kept
proceeding. That's when he noticed her, solemnly leaning against a
molding tree, eyes darting across the sky, only to see the fewest of
faint stars through the overlook of the trees. She heard the crunch
of the leaves under the hanyou's bare feet. She turned slowly only to
be met by the starless gaze of a familiar face.
"Inuyasha,
what...what are you doing here?" She was in a fit of shock over
the presence of the hanyou.
"What do you think?...I came here
to see you, is that a problem." Kikyou snorted and turned away
from Inuyasha. There was a long continuous silence after that, that
stretched endlessly without some much as a grunt. They both had no
idea what to really say to each other...but silence seemed to get the
better of them.
"Inuyasha...if you have something to
say...just say it...don't let it linger in the air, let it out!"
Kikyou was fed up of this, if he had something to say, he shouldn't
wait for the next blasted millennium.
"I just...wanted to see
you...I thought something was wrong...you smelled different."
Kikyou couldn't help but laugh.
"I smell different...that was
pathetic...is that all you can say to me...is that I "smell
different...such humor." Inuyasha seemed stunned by her sudden
outburst, but just for a spilt second until anger surged into his
body.
"Yes, you smelled different...I smelled your tears!"
Inuyasha was pissed, how could she act like this.
"My
tears...Inuyasha you really are unbelievable...does it look like I'm
crying...I'm dead I can't cry, or have you forgotten about
that...maybe you've been around my reincarnation to long, she's
changed you!" Inuyasha in his state of anger grabbed Kikyou by
her arms, and pressed hard.
"Ow!...stop it
Inuyasha...your...your hurting---"
"What are you so
afraid of...huh tell me!" Inuyasha interrupted Kikyou's
complaining.
"Let me g---"
"ANSWER ME!...WHAT
ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF!" Kikyou gasped, forgetting about the pain
shooting up her arms...she was shocked and hurt that Inuyasha had
raised his voice to her.
"Inuyasha...?" Her eyes glazed
over with forgotten tears that had been caged for so long.
"Tell
me!" Kikyou looked away from him, not able to hide her love for
the half-demon. In a fit of sadness, and love she yelled out,
frustrated and exhausted from his ranting's.
"I love you!"
Inuyasha's eyes went wide, eyes glazed over in pure
shock.
"Wha...what did you just say." Wondering if he
heard her correctly.
"I love you!...I have always loved you,
but you were to blind to see it...espically being with that girl from
the future...just because I'm dead doesn't mean my feelings for you
are dead! Inuyasha's grip on her arms faded, before his arms dropped
down to his sides. He didn't know what to do...what to say! The only
thing he could do was...just look at her...in hopes she would
understand what was in his heart.
"Stop looking at me like
that, Inuyasha..." Kikyou spat out.
"Like what...?"
His voice was coated with a sweet, soft, whisper.
"Like, you
want to kiss me..." Her eyes turned from stern to a soft glowing
color, that made Inuyasha crazy.
"Maybe...I want to kiss
you."
"What!...Inuyasha you are---" She was
disrupted by the hanyou pulling her into his arms, and pressing his
lips to hers. The kiss was passionate and wonderful, and for once
Kikyou didn't refuse...his touch. Believe it or not, she wrapped her
arms around him, forcing him to apply more pressure to her already
numb lips. His mind told him to pull away, but his heart told him not
to. He found the taste on her lips quite wondrous, and successfully
pleasant. They were both swirling around in a cloud, which considered
to both...heaven. The moment was so sweet, and so peaceful until...
...the smell. Inuyasha's eyes went wide with fear. The metallic smell
of blood, with a sweet blend of fresh tears burned through his
powerful, yet sensitive nose. His lips broke from the kiss, as he his
head snapped to the direction, of the bushes that kneeled quite
away's away from his position.
"Kagome..." His voice
choked out with deep guilt and concern, knowing she had spotted him
and Kikyou together once more.
Her eyes went wide, realizing that
he had spotted her. He didn't know what to say to her.
"Kagome..."
He stepped forward, Kagome stepped back two
steps.
"Kagome...please...let me explain..." She shook
her head, as tear caps settled in her tear ducts begging for
freedom.
"No...don't...I..." She couldn't say anymore,
she ran in the opposite direction.
"Kagome...wait!" He
yelled, all the while running after her. He ran up to the point,
where her smell dwindled than disappeared, knowing she had jumped
through the well back to her own time. He sighed, before realizing he
left Kikyou, and ran back to her. "I'm...sorry Kagome...so
sorry...I...I didn't want you to see us together...I wish I wouldn't
have made you cry", he whispered out to no one in particular.
Kagome
sat at the edge of her bed...wanting the tears to stop falling. She
wanted to stop acting like a weak little girl everytime something bad
happened...but, the tears just would not stop. Kagome felt as if her
heart was literally ripping from her body by some piercing
sword...but that did not end the aching torment, it had also broke
her heart into two fragements, not intended to be put back
together...ever. This pain was killing her, physically and
emotionlly. Kagome had tried to wipe her now puffy and red eyes to
dry them, it did no good, it just made them burn with more tears.
Kagome was determined to take her mind off of Inuyasha. So, what else
could be better than listening to some music. Kagome layed down on
her back, turning the dial of her portable radio. She heard the
announcer babbling on about some contest, you could win free
back-stage tickets to the next JLO concert.
"Whoppity
doo...big deal!" Kagome yelled at the radio not in to much of
an interest. And just as if the announcer heard her he stopped
talking, before the next song started. It was a rock tune, that
Kagome had heard before so many times...she loved this song! Was it
because her father used to play it all the time and sing it to
her...or was it because it fit her life perfectly, she had no
clue...only that she had found her peace. She began to sing along to
the beautifully harmonized song:
"Have
you ever needed someone so bad, yeah? Have you ever wanted someone
you just couldn't have? Did you ever try so hard that your world just
fell apart? Have you ever needed someone so bad?"
Before
long Kagome found herself falling into a calm and peaceful sleep,
where her mind repeated the song, over, and over, and over again, not
stopping until darkness took her.
