Broken Soul
Chapter 3: The mall and a contest
"Kagome you've got to try this on" A very happy Sango said to her as she held up a plain black skirt that came up to her knee. Kagome only gave her a nod and went inside the dressing room to try on the skirt. But before she got in Sango gave her a black tank top that says "Don't dare open ur eyes…wat ur goin 2 c will make you drool" With that Kagome went in and starting to change into what Sango had given her. "God I'd never figured I'd dress in Something like this." She was in her own mind thinking until she heard Sango's voice. "Kagome come out after your done. I want to see how you look like in a skirt and tank." Kagome sighed but changed quickly and was glad her bruised were healing faster. Then she unlocked the door and step out of the room.
Once she stepped out of the room Sango started screaming about how beautiful she looks. "Kags you look awesome. But there's something missing." Kagome looked nervous. "Um Sango. I uh I'm not used to dressing like this. Can I please change into my own clothes now." Sango shook her head while staring at her. "Oh I got it. I know what's missing." With that Sango went off to the accessories part of the store and got this black and white checkered hair clip. She pushed Kagome's hair from covering her eyes and clipped it. "Perfect." She said as she pushed Kagome to a mirror. Kagome was surprised she never thought she can look like this. "Come on Kagome were going to pay for these then we can go meet up with the guys." Sango said as she pulled her over by the cashier. Kagome looked shocked. "Wait I need to change first I can't go out there like this." Sango just shook her head. "Kagome you can't keep hiding your self like that. You've got to let Inuyasha truly see how beautiful you are." With that she took off the tags on Kagome's new clothes and handed them to the girl with short pink hair wearing all black who is working there. The girl told her the total is fifty-five dollars. Sango gave her sixty dollars and then pulled Kagome out of the store with her going towards the food court not bother waiting for the change.
After they sat down at a clear table in the food court. Kagome looked puzzle and aske Sango how will the guys find them. Sango just laughed and told her if they ever go on separate at the mall they'll meet at the food court. Kagome blushed and spoke quietly. "Anyways why did you say I have to let Inuyasha see how beautiful I am?" Sango smiled at her. "It's because I could tell you have feelings for him and vice versa." Kagome put her head down once again. "But I couldn't be with him. I can't Im too afraid." Sango looked at Kagome with a sad expression. "Why not Kagome? I could tell you have feelings for him." Kagome looked up at Sango and she knew she had to tell her. She can't find herself telling her lies when she'd been so kind to her. "It's because of what happened a year ago. When my ex-boyfriend Hojo dumped me."
flashback
Kagome waited at the gates of the school for her boyfriend to show up. She waited for half an hour and finally she showed up. But it wasn't how she'd wanted him to show up. What she saw in front of her eyes is Hojo holding onto another girl in his arms. Kagome tried to hold back her tears as she walked up to Hojo. "How can you do this to me? We were so happy all these years and you told me you'd stay by my side forever. You said you won't hurt me. How can you do this to me?" Hojo laughed at her. "Do you seriously think I would like someone as ugly as you when I have this beautiful girl in my arms?" With that Kagome couldn't hold her tears anymore. She was sad, embarrassed, and hurt. Almost the whole school watched Hojo dump her. But Kagome wouldn't believe that. She couldn't convince herself that Hojo would do something like this to her. "Hojo. Please tell me this isn't true. Tell me this is just a dream. We've been together for three years please tell me it's not true and you still love me." As she said this tears flowed through her face. "Get over yourself would you. It's true I'm dumping you. In fact I never did love you." And to show her proof he kissed the girl in his arms making Kagome run away from the school crying.
end flashback
Sango couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe someone would actually do something like this. And now she understood why Kagome always had her head down and hid herself from the world. She looked at Kagome. "Kagome it's alright. You have us now. You have me, Miroku and Inuyasha. We'll be by your side no matter what. We ARE your friends. Also you'll make more friends than you know." Kagome gave her a smile and finally remembered something. "Sango since my brother is staying at your house tonight can you tell him were moved to Inuyasha's house?" Sango smiled at her. "I will don't worry. Inuyasha already told me to." And they both just sat there chatting waiting for the guys.
-------------------
"Miroku why couldn't we go with the girls? Why do we have to go off on our own?" Whined Inuyasha who just annoyed the hell out of Miroku. "Come on Inuyasha it can't be that bad walking with me since we always do this. Or is it because of Kagome." As Inuyasha heard Kagome's name he blushed and looked away from Miroku. "I-it's not that." He said as he noticed something taped on the window of ZUMIEZ and walked over with Miroku following him. "What's this?" Asked Miroku as he grabbed the piece of paper taped to the window. Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked at the paper Miroku is holding. "Feh. It's just a stupid singing contest." Miroku didn't pay attention to Inuyasha. "It says here that whoever wins the singing contest can win a free trip to go on a cruise and can bring as many friends as he/she wants to." Just as Inuyasha heard him say that he want very much to win this contest and go on the cruise with Kagome. He was lost in his thoughts till he heard Miroku talking to him. "Hey Inuyasha lets go to meet up with Sango and Kagome to tell them about this." He said as he started walking with Inuyasha trailing behind him.
-----------------------
When Miroku and Inuyasha got to the food court they saw Kagome and Sango sitting at one of the tables and walked over to them. As Inuyasha saw Kagome he only thought of one thing "beautiful". She was very beautiful. He'd never seen her like this before. To him she's an angel. He walked over to her and sat next to her on an empty chair while Miroku took the one next Sango. "Hey Kagome. Hey my lady Sango." He said as he tried to grab for her had but failed then took out a pieced of paper from his pants pocket folded up. "Inuyasha and I found this contest paper on the window of ZUMIEZ." Miroku said as he handed the piece of paper to Sango and she read it out loud to Kagome. But Kagome showed no sign of expression until Sango said she should go and join the contest. Kagome told Sanog that she's not going to join the contest. "But Kagome. It'll be a great chance for you to speak up to the world." Sango told Kagome as she looked at her. "But I don't know if I can do it or not. Im not used to being up in front of people like that." This time Miroku spoke up to Kagome. "That's the reason why you should do this. You should show everyone your not afraid to show yourself to them. Am I right Inuyasha?" Inuyasha nodded at what Miroku said. And looked at Kagome. "Their right. You should do this. You shouldn't hide yourself anymore." Kagome looked at all of them and finally she nodded and spoke softly. "Alright I'll do it." Sango was about to say something but was interrupted by someone.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIInuuuuuuuuuu-baby" Inuyasha turned around and saw Kikyou. She is dressed in the sluttiest outfit ever. She has a white mini skirt that is so short that you can practically see her ass when she bended over, a white halter top that was practically see through, a black bra, and a pair of white five inch high heels. "Oh Inu-baby. I miss you so much." She said as she tried to hug him. "UH, Kikyou get the hell away from me." Kikyou stepped away from him and gave him a teary eye. "Aww, you don't mean that right Inu-baby." Inuyasha only her a disgusted look. "I meant every word I said. And Im telling you were over." Kikyou's eyes were filled with anger. "Damn you Inuyasha. You are leaving me for that bitch aren't you." She said as she pointed to Kagome who was just staring at her. But Inuyasha was pissed she had called Kagome a bitch. With that he slapped her. "DON'T – YOU – EVER – CALL – KAGOME – A – BITCH!" Kikyou stood there stunned. No one has ever slapped her before. "Inuyasha you did not just slap me for her." She said as she glared at Kagome. "Go away Kikyou. Do us all a favor and leave us all alone you slut." But Kikyou didn't leave. "Why Inu-baby? Don't you love me?" Inuyasha glared at her. "Correction. I LOVED you. That was the past. You ruined it for us. It all ended when you cheated on me. SO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM US YOU SLUTTY WHORE!" Kikyou still didn't move and just noticed the piece of paper in Sango's hand. "You guys aren't entering the contest are you? How pathetic. You guys will never win against me. Im the greatest." Sango got out of her seat and crumbled the paper in her hands. "Don't you think you're the greatest person on earth Kagome can win that contest and you'll just be crying when she does." Kikyou gave them a real nasty look. "Her? Beat me and make me cry? You've got to be joking. Anyways I do need to practice for the contest no matter how good I am. I need to show that bitch whose boss around here." After that she turned around to leave but was stopped by Inuyasha. He turned her around and once again slapped her. "I told you not to call Kagome a bitch. The next time I hear you say that about Kagome I will personally KILL you."
After she left Kagome spoke up to Inuyasha. "Don't you think that was a little bit too harsh Inuyasha." But before he got to answer her Miroku spoke. "Kagome how can you say that? She practically called you a bitch and you could still say Inuyasha was a bit too harsh towards her." Kagome didn't know what to say to that so she changed the subject. "Well anyways does it say when the contest is?" Sango knew Kagome didn't want to go on with the conversation so just went along with her. "It's this Friday. Do you have in mind what song you want to sing Kagome?" Kagome nodded. "I do. I write songs and poems. So Im going to choose one of my own songs to sing." Inuyasha was surprised, Sango nodded.. "So Kagome do you need help with the instruments and stuff?" Miroku asked Kagome. She shook her head. "No this song only requires a piano and I can play that. He nodded and tried to ask her something but Inuyasha butted in. "It's time to go." And the four of them went out of the mall and into the car which was parked across the street.
---------------------------------
The whole car ride was silent. No one said a word after they got in. It was just like the other day during lunch. Each time Kikyou shows up it's all quiet. And once they got to Inuyasha's house Sango and Miroku said their byes. But before they left Kagome stopped them. "Sango remember to tell Souta about the move to Inuyasha's house." Sango gave her a smile, nodded and walked with Miroku to their houses which were a couple house from Inuyashas. After they got out of sight Inuyasha held Kagome's wrist and took her inside the mansion. Once inside they started off up the stairs and into their own room. Kagome got in her room and changed into her over sized tee and boxer. She kept thinking if Sango has told her brother about the move or not and suddenly she had the urge to sing started singing.
----------------
Sango got into her house with a real pissed face. She hates it when Miroku touches her ass. But she went upstairs to her room and then remembered she had to tell Souta about the move to Inuyasha's so she hurried to her Kohaku's room. "Kohaku I need to talk to Souta." She said as she went into his room. All he said was hey sis and pointed to across the room to were Souta was. "Souta I need to tell you something real important." Souta sat on the floor of the room and gave her a nod. "Kagome has moved out of your fathers house." Souta was shocked then he was sad and looked to the ground and said with a soft voice. "So I'll be alone with him now." As Sango started to leave the room she laughed. "Don't worry. She packed your stuff too. Your moving in with her at Inuyasha's house. I'll take you there after school tomorrow when you come back with Kohoku." With that she left for her own room getting under the covers of her bed thinking about Kagome's life. She always thought her life sucks because her parents never have time to care about her and Kohaku. But now she realized Kagome's life was far worse then hers. At least she has a mansion to live in. But Kagome has been stuck with her abusive father for so long. And getting dumped like that in front of practically the whole school had hurt her a lot. She still couldn't believe someone would do that to Kagome. To Sango she's a kind and nice person. She doesn't get why people treat Kagome that way. And soon she let sleep take her over.
-----------------
Inuyasha got out of his room and went to the room he was in earlier with Sango and Miroku. When he got in he saw Sesshoumaru his half brother watching tv. He has long silver hair just like him and the same golden eyes. The only difference was that he's a full demon and Inuyasha's a hanyou.
"So Inuyasha I see you brought a girl home." Sesshoumaru said as he continued watching tv. "Yea. Im just trying to uh help her. She n-" He tried to explain to Sesshoumaru what had happened but was cut off. "You don't have to explain I already know what happened." Inuyasha gave him a puzzled look. "How'd you know what happened?" But Sesshoumaru didn't pay attention to him till finally he spoke up. "I have my ways. But you do have to tell our parents when they come back from their vacation." And that was all he said. With that Inuyasha left the room and went back to his room. He didn't even know why he went there in the first place. And as he was walking to his room he heard Kagome singing. Then he remembered Kagome saying she writes poems and songs. He wanted very much to read her poems.
Please, please
forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll
have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no
one:
"isn't something missing? "
You won't
cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that
unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something
missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Her voice was beautiful. He loves the way she sings its so soothing.
chorus
Even though I'd be sacrificed,
You
won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love
me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please,
please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you
do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry out:
"isn't
something missing?
Isn't someone missing me? "
As he listened to her singing he felt sadness in her voice. He'd never heard this song and wondered if she wrote this song or not.
chorus
Even
though I'd be sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not
now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all
alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed,
I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to
dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something
missing?
Isn't something...
chorus
Even though I'd be
sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die
to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing
me?
As she finished Inuyasha went inside her room with Kagome lying down on her bed. "Hey Kagome. Your voice is really pretty." Kagome sat up, blushed and look at the floor. "Thanks." Inuyasha looked at her. "So did you write that?" Kagome nodded her head and continued to look at the floor. "It's a real depressing song." And then Inuyasha started leaving her room. But before he did Kagome stopped him. "Wait. I want to ask you who Rin is. She helped me find you and the other earlier." Inuyasha looked at her and answered. "Rin is the daughter of my mothers friend. Rins mother had something to do and didn't want to leave her home alone so she had the idea of Rin staying here with Sesshoumaru and I since my parents aren't home now." Kagome got the part about Rin but she was curious to who Sesshoumaru is. "Who is Sesshoumaru? And where are your parents" Inuyasha stood there and just slapped his forehead. "Sesshoumaru is my half brother. We kind of look alike but not really because he's a full demon. And my parents are now in Hawaii. They just left one day leaving a note for Sesshoumaru and I saying they'll be in Hawaii for two weeks. So they'll be back by Friday." Kagome nodded her head. "O yea. Kagome do you remember when you said that you write poems and songs?" Kagome just sat there and nodded. "I was just wondering if I can read one of your poems." Kagome didn't answere him. "I mean its alright if you don't want to I mean-" But before he got to finish Kagome got out of bed and handed him a composition notebook opened to a page where the top line says "LOVE". "Kagome" Kagome just nodded as approval that he can read it.
"LOVE"
whats the point in love
if there is none
its impossible
you cant love
if their isnt anyone
for you to love
there wont ever be
a thing called love
or forever love
even if you find it
it will let you down
let you go
it will haunt you forever
for life
love wont stay with you
it only goes away
disappears from you
once you fall deep
into its grasp
you cant escape
never
no matter how hard you try
it lingers in your mind
your body and soul
it may even become your fear
once it fails you
leaving you on your own
to pick up all the shattered pieces
of your heart.
Inuyasha was hurt on the inside. He felt how Kagome is feeling. It's true what she wrote and he doesn't want her to think that though. He doesn't want her to think that way because he may be in love with her. But he couldn't let her know that. He is too afraid to let her know. He didn't think she'd like someone like him. A half demon. So he gave her the notebook back. "Kagome everything you write is so depressing. But I assure you that your life won't be the same anymore I won't let you suffer." He said as he looked at Kagome and smiled then turned and went back to his room. Kagome watched as he left hoping what he said was true. She then turned on the alarm next to her bed in case she didn't wake up on time. After she did she went under the covers and went to sleep.
