Immortal Pain

InuYasha threw the Tetsusaiga aside. It returned to its normal state, a rusty, old blade. It squealed as it skidded across the floor. InuYasha eyed it. A trail of dark red blood followed in its path. Sango's face was positioned towards him, giving him the chills. Her hollow eyes seemed to be watching him, cursing at him, swearing vengeance.

Her mouth moved a bit, but when no words came out, only blood and foamy saliva did. InuYasha twisted his face. It looked like she had rabies or something, which wasn't a very lovely sight, if you can picture it.

Naraku stepped in front of Sango's body and the Tetsusaiga. "Well, InuYasha," Naraku spoke, "I thought you said you would never hurt you dearest Sango… But I guess you were the one who was wrong, and not I." He bent down and picked up the Tetsusaiga. "But it all worked out fine, didn't it, InuYasha? I got what I wanted…" He played around with the Tetsusaiga, which InuYasha couldn't understand how that was possible because demons weren't capable of touching the blade. "Hmm… Never mind… I don't think you gained anything from today's little visitation, now did you, InuYasha?"

InuYasha scowled back at Naraku with disgust.

Miasma slowly started to creep around Naraku, cloaking him, giving him protection. From behind the curtain of numerous venoms Naraku laughed unethically. "Fare thee well, InuYasha… I must be off, but do enjoy your little visit with dear Sango!" And just like that… Naraku was gone.

InuYasha turned back to Sango. She stared at him and then in a spine-tingling voice she said, "My immortal pain is mine to share. Let me share it with you, my love."

La la la… Tra la la… Fa la la…

Kagome shoved off the sheets. "That's it!" she exclaimed, purposely waking Miroku up in the process. "Ican't sleep! What do you think happened to Shippo and Kirara and InuYasha, Miroku?" Kagome sighed heavily.

Miroku rubbed his eyes - obviously tired. "I don't know. I don't care. Not right now atleast." Then he grinned mischieviously at Kagome. "Now, now... Was this really about them...? Or were you trying to wake me up because you were feeling a bit frisky?" Miroku pounced on top of Kagome. She let out a squeal of delight and fear.

"Come on Miroku!" she whined. "Get off of me! I was being serious!" She then threw Miroku off of her, along with the sheets. She slipped on her school girl uniform and trotted outside into the chilly night. Miroku followed."I'm worried, Miroku... Worried about InuYasha..." Kagome whispered.

For the first time Miroku felt a pang of jealousy. Why was she suddenly so interested in that mutt and not him? Miroku took a step towards her. "Kagome, baby..." He tried to reach out for her, but she swiped his hand away.

"NO!" Kagome shrieked in a sharp voice as he tried to reach for her again. "No... No more... of this..." She paused.

Miroku couldn't believe. Everything was becoming dizzying.

"Please Miroku... No more... You... and me... No more..." she spoke in a soft, heart-felt voice.

Dizzying. Blurry. He couldn't believe it. "You don't mean..." And then his tight was pulled tight against his ribs and his heart was caught in his throat. "...It's over then? You're breaking up with me?"

Kagome twirled around, tears in her eyes. "I would still love to be friends with you, Miroku."

The instant he heard it, he hated it. Friends. What a perfect excuse. He spat. "That's bullshit right there, that is!" he bellowed. He stumbled forwards. Dizzying. Blurry. Tight chest. Heart throat. Pounding. Tears. Anger. Fear. Heartbreak. Desperation. He squeezed Kagome's arm tightly. "You won't break up with me, damnit, you hear me!"

Squealing, Kagome wriggled around in Miroku's death grip. "Let me go! I don't want you to be mad a me, Miroku!"

"DAMNIT KAGOME!"

"MIROKU! STOP IT!"

"It's that stupid mutt isn't it, Kagome? It's that bloody InuYasha, right? He's the one who has taken your heart from mine!" Miroku's grip tightened.

"I said... LET GO OF ME!" Kagome hollered.

"NO! I REFUSE TO!" Miroku taunted back.

"MIROKU! LET ME GO!" It was Kagome's highest pitched scream ever.

And at that moment Mushin walked out and interrupted the break-up with a look of horror on his face. Miroku's grip loosened and Kagome started breathing a bit more slowly. "What?" Miroku asked. "What is it? Did we wake you?" Miroku let go of Kagome. "I apologize for this foolishness."

Mushin didn't reply for a while. Finally, he responded, "No, Miroku, it isn't that at all." He paused. "InuYasha... he..." But Miroku didn't wait. He rushed past Mushin into the temple.

InuYasha lay in a heap on the floor. His back was twisted and he was completely crippled. His wide, crystal-like eyes stared at Miroku. His mouth was drawn open and a strange distorted sound escaped his mouth. Blood surrounded him completely. The left arm of his fire-rat was torn and the flesh off his arm was torn too. His muscle bulged out from his skin. It was the same for his other arm. But what was most shocking of all was that InuYasha's Tetsusaiga was what held InuYasha in a heap. It went through his neck and then his arms and then his shins, connecting them all so that he was in a circular position on the floor and couldn't move.

Miroku stood staring at InuYasha. Kagome came in after Miroku and gasped. "What's happened to him?" She cried out.

InuYasha's head twisted around in an unhuman-like way, and faced Mushin, Miroku, and Kagome. He spoke, "My immortal pain is mine to share. Let me share it with you, my loves."
