Ame no Youni

Sango walked into the aparment. She knew where Miroku kept the spare key. Seeing that no one was up she decided to surprise Miroku in his sleep.

Opening the door softly to his room she spied a rather large lump in the sheets. Creeping closer it seemed to be two lumps.

There in Mirokus bed was Kagome. She was snuggled close to him in his arms.

Sango smirked and tapped Miroku's shoulder.

He opened his eyes and looked up. He jumped waking Kagome slightly.

"You're here early Sango." He stated in a stutter.

"What exactly have you two been doing?" She laughed.

Kagome's face was tomato red.

In the living room Sango sat with Kagome on the couch. They exchanged hugs and girl talk about what's been going on, while Miroku fixed some coffee and breakfast for all three of them.

After they ate Sango was first to ask what was going on with Kagome.

"Sango, Kagome was scared. Kagome saw things she shouldn't have seen. So instead she ran. Do you know why she ran Sango?"

Sango shook her head not quite understanding where this was going.

"Kagome saw Inuyasha with Kikyou the night before the wedding. Kagome didn't tell Inuyasha or say anything at all for fear of being hit--" Sango stopped him.

"WHAT!" She demanded.

"That's right Sango, he abused her. She just didn't want to tell us because she didn't want to burden us." Miroku said. Kagome looked down.

Sango's fists were clenched. "Shall I beat him for ya Kags?" She asked trying to make her feel better.

Kagome shook her head.

After much more chatter on the subject with Sango, she had to leave for work. She gave Kagome a bear hug, which she gladly returned.

Kagome sat in her room reading silently later that afternoon. Her cellphone went off.

Checking the caller ID she saw it was Inuyasha. She stiffened up.

Running quickly to Miroku who was at his desk looking over apartment fees, she whimpered as she clung to him.

Not knowing what was wrong she was given a nice squeeze and she relaxed somewhat.

"What's wrong?" He asked running his hand over her back.

"Inuyasha called my cellphone…" She said hiding her face.

Miroku recalled him telling her that she was going with him to talk to Inuyasha tomorrow about somethings, just to straighten them out.

Kagome and Miroku stayed in that position for awhile before he picked her up and took her to the couch.

Finally unattaching herself from him he reached for the phone and dialed Inuyasha's number.

Five rings and it was answered.

"What do you want Miroku?" He asked rudely.

"I need to talk to you Inuyasha. It concerns Kagome. Would you mind coming to my apartment for dinner tonight?" he asked in a serious tone.

"If it's about Kagome I'd come for a late lunch. But sure I'll come to dinner." Miroku and Inuyasha hung up and Kagome was clinging to him once again.

"What's wrong?" He asked holding her tight.

"You said tomorrow." She said in a quite upset pout.

He smiled. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner you're free from worry." He kissed her lightly on the head. "Ok?" He asked.

She nodded.

Inuyasha arrived at about 6:30. He walked in after Miroku opened the door.

Kagome was sitting on the couch.

"Oye, Miroku. What did you need to talk to me about?" He asked rudely.

To prevent from hitting the half-wit Miroku walked towards the kitchen stating plainly that Inuyasha might want to look in the living room.

Inuyasha just sorta stared before walking to the living room.

Seeing a the back of Kagome's head from behind the couch Inuyasha immediately ran up to her. Kagome sat there hoping he wouldn't notice her avert her eyes.

He held her in a rough hug and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Where did he find you Kag's? I've been worried sick!" he said as he held her close.

She didn't respond.

Miroku walked into the living room. A sting of anger struck him seeing that Inuyasha was holding her. He cleared his throat and made his presence known. Inuyasha asked again, but this time to Miroku.

"Where did you find her?" he asked.

"In the rain, the day of your wedding." He stated calmly.

Inuyasha turned his head to Kagome. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?"

She shook her head.

"Aren't you glad to see me Kagome?" He asked concerned about her averting his eyes.

Nothing.

A long silence was held before Miroku sat on the other side of Kagome.

Inuyasha pulled back a bit. Kagome sat still. Miroku spoke.

"Inuyasha, Kagome and I have talked. I'm concerned about somethings." He started.

"Like what?" Inuyasha asked dumbly.

"What were you doing the night before your wedding?" He asked looking at Kagome. She didn't move.

"I was with Kikyou, setting things straight and telling her not to come on to me." He lied.

Miroku's blood boiled.

"And where was Kagome?" Miroku continued.

"I don't know, at home?"

Miroku nudged Kagome.

Kagome sighed.

"Inuyasha. I saw you and Kikyou together." She said softly.

Inuyasha's heart jumped and he lied once again, through his teeth. "We didn't do anything Kags how would you know where I was?"

"Kikyou left a message on the voicemail at our house." She stated with a tinge of anger in her voice.

Inuyasha's heart raced. He thought of another one. "Well she came onto me first."

Miroku blew up. "Bullshit Inuyasha! Kagome saw you two in passionate embraces. She ran from your wedding scared you would do the same and keep cheating on her." He yelled.

Kagome sunk in her seat.

Inuyasha's face fell. He had never seen Miroku like this, ever.

Kagome spoke silently again. "I want to break off the engagement…" she said through a sob.

Inuyasha chocked.

Miroku waited, still fuming.

The tension in the room was growing and all eyes were on Kagome. The windows rattled lightly from the breeze outside.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha but I'm done with your abuse and cheating…" she said a little more confident.

Inuyasha's head flew up. "You TOLD HIM! You said you wouldn't tell!" he was enraged.

Kagome closed her eyes and sunk back down.

Miroku grabbed Kagome and held her close.

Inuyasha fumed and tried to grab her. Managing to get a hold of her wrist he pulled her towards him. Kagome winced in pain.

"Let go Inuyasha!" Miroku said sternly.

"She's MY fiancée!" He yelled.

"Not anymore!" Miroku yelled back.

Kagome started to grow glassy eyed.

Inuyasha tugged harder and Miroku gripped harder on her. Kagome started to cry and whimper. Inuyasha slapped her. Kagome stopped. Miroku stopped. All went silent.

…

"Inuyasha…I want you out…NOW!" Miroku ordered. Inuyasha realized that he had just proven that he abused her before. He quickly backed up and ran out the door.

Miroku held onto Kagome as she turned around and cried into his shirt. Miroku still could not believe what he had seen. He knew they had argued but never actual physical abuse. Now he'd seen it with his own eyes.

Kagome cried for a long time. Miroku never let go.

"Miroku, don't let him back." She cried over and over. He would just mutter sweet nothings into her ear. His attempts to calm her were small and didn't seem to help.

Miroku sighed and picked her up. He walked to his room and turned the lights off in the apartment. Closing his door behind him he carried her to the bed and lay down in the dark room with her.

Her crying didn't cease until almost 2 hours later. She was just let out small whimpers as he held her.

Pulling her tear streaked face up so he could look at her, he saw that her cheek had become swollen and was still red. He ran his thumb lightly over it and she leaned her cheek into his hand as a small tear streaked its way down.

He wiped it away with his thumb and gave her a small smile.

"He's not welcome here anymore. Don't worry about it ok?" He said softly to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "He doesn't deserver your tears." He kissed his way towards her lips and stopped before reaching them.

"I'm hurting." She said weakly.

"Let me help you take them away, by and by." He said before he kissed her chastely on the lips.
