Chapter 4
Kouga ran at top speed with his woman in his hands, every five seconds he would rub his nose in the crook of her neck, much to Kagome discomfort. "Kouga, please stop that, it tickles." The woman that lay in his arms said while pushing his head away from her neck. "Kouga-kun can you let me off at the old well in the next clearing?" She pleaded.
"Anything for you, Kagome."
With that said, Kouga then ran towards the old Bone-Eater's Well with new purpose.
Kouga's point of View
Oh Kagome, when will you ever leave dog shit? When will you learn that he doesn't love you? Even if you're not with me, I don't want to see you in any more pain.
I saw the well just up ahead and slowed down, letting Kagome know that we were near the well. Maybe if I kiss her sweet lips again or if I fill her head with sweet words she'll finally be mine.
Her face is beautiful under the
moonlight. Just a couple more days and it will be
Full
moon.
Normal Point of View
Kouga gently sat Kagome on the edge of the well. He looked into her moonlit face, eyeing her grayish-blue eyes. Pain, sorrow and love swam in their depths, togging at him heart. Gently he lifted her face up with his clawed hands and brought her closer to his own. His lips brushed against her ear and whispers of sweet nothings were spoken.
Kagome was locked in the moment, when Kouga said those things it made her feel better about her self. Most of the pain she felt was gone, but what little pain was still there weighed down her elation. She gasped at the sudden feel of lips brushing against hers. What was once gentle and calming became more passionate and rough. Kagome broke the kiss and turned her head to the side, looking into the surrounding foliage.
Kouga, seeing the way Kagome broke the kiss, brought his hand up to her chin so she would look at him. "Kagome," was all that he said, before he felt Kagome grip him in a tight hug. He felt empty when she pushed him away.
"Kouga, I can't." With that she gave a broken cry and jumped down the well, refusing to look at him.
Present Japan
A small figure sat at the bottom of the dried well, shivering from the cold, clutching her dirtied clothing close. 'Oh help me Kami-sama, I can't do this alone, should I give up on InuYasha and give Kouga a chance? … I am so confused.'
Kagome, fed up with the self-pity, climbed out of the old half-rotted well and leaned on the edge to look down into the darkness. After a few moments she turned towards the door and began to walk up the steps, through the threshold of the well house. Without looking back she ran towards her home. A comfortable feeling shot through her body when she entered the familiar settings.
"Mom, Souta, Gramps, I'm home!" There was no answer. She went straight to her room, grabbed clean clothes, towels and her CD player, not forgetting her new Three Days Grace CD. Usually she would listen to something more happy or romantic, but today she felt like listening to the CD she received after a past festival as a thank-you present.
She drew a bath and removed her clothing. When the water was high enough she stopped the running water and settled in the tub, fading into the warm water. Kagome scrubbed the filth away from her skin, hoping it will take away the bad memories and useless regrets. She then pressed play on her stereo and skipped it to track four, 'Home.'
All of the memories of her and InuYasha rushed into her head with the beat of the music.
I'll be coming home
Just to be
alone
She thought of all the times she ran home because of him, because of the pain he would cause her, the pain that still boiled inside her.
Cause I know you're not
there
And I know that you don't care
All of those painful words he said ran through her head, remembering then how he'd showed how much he really didn't care.
I can hardly
wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You're never
satisfied
She thought of the jewel shards and how InuYasha would never let then rest without her sitting him. How he always put her down when the others weren't around.
This
is not a home
I think I'm better off alone
You always
disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think
I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home
The image of Kaede's hut came into her mind, how he would disappear into the night and not come back until midday. The feelings she had felt then crawled to the front of her mind, and the pain that would of burst through her chest at any given moment pulsed.
By
the time you come home
I'm already stoned
You turn off the
TV
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
'Til you get off
my case
The way he would scream at her for butting in his business, or how she never did anything right. At this point she felt hollow inside, like she did not belong, like she had nowhere to belong even when she was in her own house.
No matter how
hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think
I'm better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you're
here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home,
this house is not a home
This house is not a home
I'm better
off alone
Nothing she ever did was right in his eyes. Nothing or no one could satisfy him, no one but Kikyo. He only loved her and that was that.
'He loves Kikyo, and with the way he treats me… Why do I love him? I guess InuYasha is right. I am stupid. I am a baka for not listening to Kouga-kun, even Sesshomaru has hinted at it. Kagome, you stupid little girl, I hate you.'
She splashed at the water in the tub, batting at her own reflection. 'Why I do this to myself?'Than his words came back to her. "Weak, pathetic human."
