Lost and Gained Chapter 9: The Tampered Drink and Through the Well, an inuyasha fanfic

HiHi Everyone!

Here's Chapter Nine! But this chapter needs another Disclaimer... which will come shortly. I DO have an announcement though...

I WILL BE GONE FOR A WEEK... SO I WON'T UPDATE DURING THAT TIME... SORRY

Anyways... Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the two songs in the story "Because You Live" and "That Was Then". They might be lame songs, but I like them, and they fit.

Chapter Nine- The Tampered Drink and Through the Well

"What in the world is this?" Kagome asked.

"It's my other car." InuYasha replied, and he got in. Kagome looked at the black Ferrari, and then got in herself.

"So you finally got the Ferrari you wanted." Kagome said with a smile.

"Not yet. I want a RED Ferrari, but I have a black one and a blue one, a yellow Mustang, and a silver sports car." InuYasha started the engine, and Kagome just froze, listening to the long list of cars that were his.

"InuYasha… drive slow…. Okay?" InuYasha grunted, but followed his girlfriend's orders.

"Hey baby, there's a carnival coming to town tomorrow. I was wondering if ya wanted to go." InuYasha said as he turned around the corner and parked into the parking lot.

"Sure." Kagome said as she got out of the car. "I'd love to, InuYasha." InuYasha smiled.

"You know… you were supposed to let me open the door for you." He joked, and then held his hand out. "C'mon toots. Let's dance." Kagome blushed, yet she took his hand anyways and walked to the dance. She was already used to the entire name calling thing, so decided to not get all worked up as usual. Just as they got in, girls were screaming all over the place.

"InuYasha, you look so hot!"

"InuYasha, you want to dance with me?"

"InuYasha, leave your girl."

"InuYasha, come and join us!"

"InuYasha, let's dance."

They were all pulling him, and tugging his shirt, and some went to the extremes to get a part of his hair.

"Girls… girls… please. One at a time." InuYasha said with a smile. Kagome wanted to knock that smile off his face.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled. All the girls stared at her in disgust.

"Yeah love?" InuYasha said casually.

"Don't tell me you're actually interested in them!" Kagome yelled. All the girls turned to InuYasha, wondering what he would say.

"Of course not darling. You're my only one." InuYasha said, and his teeth shined this time when he smiled. All the girls looked like they almost died in horror as they went away. InuYasha went back to Kagome, who looked hurt. InuYasha sighed.

"Oh dear Kami." He muttered. "Don't be like this Kaggie. You're so emotional. C'mon. Let's dance."

"KAGGIE!" Kagome fumed. "My name is Kagome! Since when did I give you the right to call me Kaggie? Or any of the other names for that matter?"

"You always respond to it. Kagome… c'mon."

"Gah. You are so…so…"

"Indescribable. I know." InuYasha said with a sly grin. Kagome was pissed.

"Take me home, InuYasha."

"Sweetheart… not until I dance with you." InuYasha said as he pulled her into the middle of the dance floor.

"Don't sweetheart me, Takahashi!"

"Kagome! You know I love you."

"Hmph." InuYasha was getting angry now.

"Doesn't that ring prove it to you? What other boyfriend would buy their girlfriends rings made of amber and white gold?" Kagome turned around. InuYasha gulped. Kagome's eyes were filled with unspeakable flames.

"Money doesn't count on me, you arrogant jerk." Kagome said and she left. InuYasha was about to follow her when all the girls in the dance floor took the chance to get InuYasha as theirs. Kagome went to the punch table.

"You want some punch, miss?" a guy asked. Kagome looked up. He looks familiar too. What is it with me? Indeed, the guy had black hair in a braid with purple eyes, and a purple cross on his forehead. He looked well-built under his black leather jacket and jeans.

"Sure." Kagome said, and she took a drink from his hand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe I did that… InuYasha thought to himself. He was sitting by the well. The rain was pouring down, but he didn't really care.

"You would know. Because of you, Miroku might die for loss of blood!" InuYasha shook the thought from his head.

You weren't there Kagome…

If you told me to sit… everything would be fine…

"Is that all I am? A shard detector!"

No Kagome… you're more than that. A lot more…InuYasha smiled at the thought of Kagome, but after all that happened, the smile faded as quick as it came. He turned to the well.

This is so goddamn stupid! I haven't cried like this since…since…

"InuYasha… I thought you told me to always hide my tears. So what's that on your face?" Shippo asked.

"I've been alongside Lord InuYasha for countless years. He does not cry. You must be mistaken."

"Well, then what's this Myoga?"

"Let's take a look."

PUNCH

"I'm not crying! Why would I? Everyone's FINE, aren't they!" InuYasha said one last time before turning around, to hide his face again.

Salty-ness fogged his eyes, but he tried his hardest to not let them drop.

Mother…Kikyo…And now Kagome? I even killed Miroku, one of my dear friends… and even went after Sango…And now I'm crying again like a fucking retarded baby.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world

Has twice as many stars in the sky

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live

Kagome… A single tear dropped from his eyes, and into the well. Down the well it went, and onto the shard. InuYasha was pained and didn't notice, until the well glowed pink. InuYasha looked down. The shard… I thought it was tainted…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome almost finished her fourth punch when there was an announcement from the DJ.

"Yo yo yo. Waz up y'all?" Everyone on the dance floor screamed.

"A'ight. We're gonna let someone in the audience to come up, and sing for us, live. How 'bout that?" The crowd cheered louder, and some already started suggesting names.

"So whoz gonna be da lucky singa?" Everyone was yelling names, but one name came out the loudest.

"InuYasha!"

"Sweet. InuYasha, c'mon up and show us what y'all got!" InuYasha got up there on stage, and the crowd cheered. Before he got the microphone, he whispered to the DJ which song he wanted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"KAGOME!" InuYasha yelled. It was raining outside. InuYasha got out of the well house and into Kagome's room.

"KAGOME!" He shouted again. Where is she? The door opened, and Souta came in.

"InuYasha?" Souta asked.

"Oh hey squirt. Where's Kagome?"

"Kagome? Isn't sister with you?"

"With… me?"

"Yeah. A funny looking guy that looked like you took her to the back to school dance." Souta exclaimed. Before he could continue, InuYasha had already left. So an imposter came to take Kagome to the dance… wait until I beat the hell out of that guy… better not be that Homo guy… InuYasha quickly ran into the school and down the hall until he heard the music coming behind one of the doors. Is this the 'dance'? he peeked through the window. I don't think there's a harm to go in… I have my cap on anyways…Just as InuYasha was about to walk in, he heard a voice close to his, blaring into the little black stick with a string stuck onto it.

"Yo everyone!" he heard. InuYasha's mouth gaped. THAT'S the imposter! What the hell? InuYasha decided to stay there for a while, listening to what he was about to say.

"This next song I'm gonna sing, is out to my one and only girl, Kagome Higurashi. I want to say I'm sorry, and hope you'll forgive, toots." InuYasha nearly fell to the floor. His girl? Toots? What the hell was that? Who the hell does he think he is, saying that to my Kagome! He slowly walked in. Thank god no one noticed… now to just find Kagome… The music started, and they heard him sing.

Guess you never really know
Just what you've got
'Til you finally realize
She could be gone
I know that I've been taking you for granted
For the longest time
All you wanted
Was someone who really cares
And I didn't even
Notice you were there
I promise that I'll never ever
Make that same mistake not twice

That was then
This is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do
Is try again
Show you how
I know that it's all about
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then
This is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

There was a pause as the background music took over, and the girls screamed in awe. InuYasha just blinked. Never in the century that I've lived, did I ever think I'd see me singing like that…

Guess I never really thought about it before
I was thinkin' of myself
And nothing more
Didn't even wanna try to find out
How you really feel (how you really feel)
Now I see
That I'm the lucky one
It's true
And what we've got
To know I never want to lose
I was trippin' in a fantasy
And missing what was real

I used to be someone
Who only really thought about
Themselves and no one else
And you could tell baby
But that's before
I understood
That when you've
Got something this good
Gotta let her know
And I want you to know

You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yeah)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it all slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are

You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yes you are)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it all slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are

Comin' around
And ready to show you how
I'm gonna change girl

The song ended, and Kagome was already on her tenth cup. InuYasha stood there staring at the 'other' InuYasha, when a couple of girls were so excited they bumped into InuYasha, and his cap fell off his head, exposing his ears. Oh shit…He tried to run, until some girl yelled out.

"OhMiGod! It's ANOTHER InuYasha! Let's GRAB HIM!" InuYasha tried to run… until a heap of girls stampeded him and were crowding around. InuYasha stood up and sighed.

"Are you InuYasha's twin?"

"Are you InuYasha, or is he InuYasha?"

"I love your ears!"

"Introduce me to your brother, InuYasha."

"Is there another duplicate of InuYasha?"

"How many InuYashas are there?"

"InuYasha, what's this?" That's when InuYasha pushed her hand away, and she fainted, after saying

"Oh… he touched me!" InuYasha sweat dropped. What the hell do I do now?

……………………………………………………….

"Hey miss, are you okay?" The guy said. Kagome looked up, face red.

"Of course. Give me some more punch?" He smiled.

"But that's already your sixteenth one."

"Oh well… can you blame me? This is good stuff." Kagome said as he handed her another cup. She drank in one cup. Then, she heard a yell.

"OhMiGod! It's ANOTHER InuYasha! Let's GRAB HIM!"

Kagome's head hurt.

"God, that girl's so loud." Kagome's head starting ringing, but it felt good. It was a good numb feeling.

"Why don't we go outside?" Kagome heard the guy said.

"Sure." She got up and started walking. The guy grabbed her by the arm and guided her out. The cool fresh air blew into Kagome's warm face, and she found it rather relaxing. The stars above them seemed bright, yet few were seen.

"So where're we going?"

"Oh, somewhere." Kagome looked at the guy, who had a grin right now.

"Alright."

"What's your name?" The guy asked suddenly. Kagome looked up.

"I forgot. I think it was 'toots' or 'sweetheart'. Or was it 'Kaggie'? You ask my boyfriend." Kagome replied. "Hey, can I go and get more punch?"

"No more."

"Aww… one more won't hurt. That was good stuff back there." Kagome said with a smile. Then…

MUAHAHAHAHHAHA! Count on me to make a cliffie!

It's not too bad, right? It's not THAT big of a cliffie... I think...

Anyways... Hope you liked it
