What Was it That You Never Said?

Chapter 7: Stand Right By Your Side

A/N: In the flashback I will be putting song lyrics in it. The won't be ilaitzed, but I am going to bold them so maybe it wont be so confusing. But if I do confuse you I am sorry. Oh and I know that most of these chapters seem not to be leading to anything, but they are, I promise. There is alot of OOC in this chapter, just a warning.

Inuyasha stood in the shower, and let the water rain down on him. Music played on the small cd player he had in his master bathroom. The words kind of hit home. His life felt like a car crash, everything was so messed up now. Once again he thought back to how this had all happened. How he had let his honor take the better of him. But it was the only way he knew how to fix this Kikyou problem. He wasn't going to let her just deal with a baby by herself. She had to have someone there for her and for the kid. And, he was going to be there. He promised her that much. If he didn't love her, he wasn't going to just leave her hanging.

Flashback

Inuyasha was still waiting for the right moment to tell Kagome that he had feeling for her, intense feeling for her. He had waited such a long time, pretending to be happy with Kikyou. But he knew she wasn't for him. They never talked and when they did, they disagreed about everything. It wasn't a relationship, it was a war zone. But now that he had finally pulled the plug on that horror show, he could finally be free to tell Kagome how he felt. For 12 years they had been best friends, its hard for him to pin point when he started to see her as his women. But somewhere along the line, he had fell head over heels for her, quirks and all.

"Splintered piece of glass falls, in the seat, gets caught
These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost
In trying so hard to look away from you
we followed white lines to the sunset
I crash my car everyday the same way"

He ran a hand through his hair and picked up the bouquet of dried sunflowers he had bought for Kagome and opened the door of his apartment. Kikyou stood on the other side of the threshold. She looked up at him, and stared.
"I think we need to talk..." Her voice was hollow as she spoke, her face just as unemotional.

"Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins.
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)"

"I have nothing to say to you!" He growled as he tried to push past her.
She grabbed his shirt and pushed him back into his apartment, and closed the door. "WHAT THE FUCK--"

"Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender"

"Inuyasha," There was a hopelessness in her voice that made her suddenly seem so fragile to him. "I'm pregnant."

"The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye
So push the seats back a little further
I can see the headlights coming
So push the seats back a little further
Roll the windows down and take a breath
I can see the headlights coming
They paint the world in red and broken glass"

Inuyasha froze, his heart stopped in his chest. He glared down on her, the weight of her words hitting him full in the chest. The seconds that passed felt like a life time of silent screams from inside his head.

"But we never slept together." His voice dripped with venom as he glowered down on her. "We dated most of high school and we never slept together."

"I cheated on you. But you already know that. You where just so safe, and I knew I didn't have to worry about sleeping with you. You where like my cover. I am so sorry, but he was just so handsome. But now he is gone. I don't want my kid to grow up with out a father." Even though he knew it was true, her words hurt him. He had thought he love Kikyou once, but that time seemed so far away now.

She seemed to be on the verge of tears, an oddity for someone like Kikyou.

"The spinning hubcaps set the tempo, for the music of the broken window
The Cameras on and the cameras click
We open up the lens and can't stop
Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done"

"Then I guess I will have to take responsibility for it. I couldn't live if I knew some kid was growing up with out a father. Not when I could be there for it." As he spoke the words, he watched his hopes and dreams with Kagome disintegrate. But he knew that he had to step up and do something. She was pregnant, and she was alone, he couldn't just let her go on that way. His mother had always told him his honor would be his downfall. Here he was free falling.

"I don't want to feel this way forever
The lights are on and the cameras click
We open up the lens (to broken glass!)"

"I knew I could count on you. You are always there for Inuyasha." He hung his head. He knew he had to help her out, even if that meant kissing his chances with Kagome goodbye. A tightness formed over his heart, and threatened to cut off his air supply. "It's to bad this baby isn't going to be your real kid."

Yeah, too bad, He thought as he sighed heavily. What a way to kick him when he was down. Kikyou always had a way with words.

"Staring at the setting sun (And it's over!)
No reason to come back again (In a flash!)
The twilight world in blue and white (and I'll never!)
The needle and the damage done (ever understand!)
I don't want to feel this way forever (Understanding!)
(In a Car Crash!) A dead letter marked return to sender (In a Car Crash!)
(In a Crash!) In a Crash!"

"I don't want to feel this way forever"

End Flashback

He turned off the water as the song ended. He didn't want to face the day at school. But he got out and got dressed. "Damn! If only I could just let her go. But nothing feels right anymore."

Naraku waited all night outside the building in his car. He planed to make his move as soon as Inuyasha left for the day. The also thought about Kikyou. She had everything that he had wanted, and once again he mentally kicked himself for just leaving the way he had. Things would be different now, but he was back. He planned on getting things back on track with Kikyou.

Naraku watched Inuyasha leave for school. After he made sure that Inuyasha was gone, we went in to the building. He paused at the apartment door, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door flew open and Kikyou stood their, even in just a white silk robe, she was beautiful. She had the beauty of a swan as they moved across glassy water.

"Naraku?" Her voice broke, but her face never betrayed her feelings.

"Kikyou... I.." Before he could say another word Kikyou slapped him across the face, hard.

He stood there stunned, a hand rested on the sore spot on his cheek. She had hit him. He expected all kinds of greeting he would receive, but he never thought of her actually hitting him. But before he could think to much on it, Kikyou was in his arms. Her shoulders shook with sobs as she cried on his chest. His arms went around her automatically. He made comforting sounds, and whispered sweet nothings in her ears. She pulled him into the apartment, and he let her.

"We need to talk." He said as he sat down on the sofa, and put her next to him.

She dried her eyes and looked at him. "Yes we do need to talk."

"I thought class was never going to end today." Sango groaned as she met up with Miroku and Kagome in the courtyard.

They all sat out on a low wall in the middle of the courtyard, and watched the other students come and go. Kagome was laying on her stomach on the wall, her head propped up on her arms, her eyes covered by large sunglasses. Miroku leaned on the wall, and pulled Sango into an embrace. As soon as his lips met hers, Kagome made a face.

"Oh, go get a room." Sango blushed and pushed away from her boyfriend.

"So what are we going to do today?" Sango asked as she tucked some of her loose hair behind one ear.

"You don't have to spend every five minutes with me, you know." Kagome sat up and crossed her legs. "I am not going to break. I am fine."

They both looked at her. Miroku sighed and put his arm around Sango's shoulders. "Well, I do want to hang out with you today. I spent most of my day listening to Inuyasha and how fucked up his life is with Kikyou."

"You mean pregaosaurs?" Kagome said miserably. Both her friends collapsed laughing. She raised an eyebrow, they where so easily amused.

After more giggles, they finally calmed down enough to talk again. "I have an idea," Sango said while a smiled pulled on her lips. "Lets go to the football game, we never go to football games anymore."

All parties nodded their heads in agreement. On to the football game then. Maybe it will be fun. It will be good to show support for the school. Kagome thought as she hopped off the wall and followed her friends out to the parking lot.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next chapter, the truth is out.
