Disclaimer - I soooo own Inuyasha. I mean, me, own Inuyasha? Pffft, hell no. OH, and I don't own "Goodbye Alice In Wonderland" either... Jewel does.
Hey everybody. I know you've missed me... hehe well at least I hope you have. I've missed you! Anyway, this is the 17th chapter to A Healed Heart. I really hope you like it! Now, read, enjoy, and remember to review my darlings! Hehe...
As the group headed for the Twister, the fact that Inuyasha was still holding Kagome's hand was the only thing on the other's mind's.
"Uh, Inuyasha have you noticed that everyone's staring at us?" Kagome whispered in Inuyasha's ear and he colored slightly but kept on holding her hand. He just wouldn't let it go.
"No actually, I haven't." He said quietly and suddenly Kouga ran past them and was standing in front of the group.
"Kouga?" Miroku questioned. Kouga just stood there, slightly smirking to himself.
"I smell... Kikyo." Kouga said to them and Inuyasha's eyes widened. How had he not caught her scent?
"Shit..." Inuyasha said then let go of Kagome's hand. Kikyo could get violent when it came to her boyfriend.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him and he looked at her smiling to reassure her that everything was fine.
"We'll talk later." He said and she nodded her head.
"INU BABY! Where the hell ya been?" Kikyo squealed as she ran up with her 'friends' behind her. Inuyasha cringed.
"Kikyo, we gotta talk." Inuyasha said and Kikyo looked a little worried. Some of her true self started to come out.
"Inuyasha? Wait what are we going to talk about?" She asked him as he pulled her over to the side of everyone else. In the distance the sound of music was floating to their ears.
With Inuyasha and Kikyo
"Kikyo, being with you has opened my eyes to everything around me. In the beginning it was the best thing for me... but now, I'm not so sure."
It's four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
"You've changed so much," He said.
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway
"It's just ya know, to the point where I can't stomach this new Kikyo." Inuyasha said to her and a tear rolled gently down Kikyo's face.
Hotel rooms and headlights
I've made a living with a song
Guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong
"Inuyasha, are you breaking up with me?" Kikyo asked him, worry in her voice with so many questions in her eyes and he didn't answer her.
Fame is filled with spoiled children
We grow fat on fantasy
"Kikyo this isn't easy for me." He whispered and grabbed her hands in his.
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
I did not find paradise
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
What's been missing in my life
"Seeing you standing in front of me though, it seems like this has to happen. I didn't even know you were coming to the fair this weekend and it's strange but I think you came for the reason that I have to break-up with you." Another tear fell down Kikyo's now make-up stained face.
I'm embarrassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliché
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
"Inuyasha... I changed for you," She whispered. "Now you're rejecting me because of it." She laughed a little. "That's just too funny..."
But I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
But you did not
Then she looked over at everyone. Her friends were chatting with Miroku, Sango, Kouga, Lexi, and Kagome. They all seemed perfectly happy and they were having a nice talk. But Kikyo knew they were wondering what was going on. Kikyo knew that they were analyzing every little move she made and every little thing they could catch her say.
Yes a heart can hallucinate
If it's completely starved for love
It can even turn monsters into
Angels from above
"So, who's the girl that you've fallen for? She over there?" Kikyo asked him. He was a little taken aback, how'd she know he fell for someone else? Then he answered her.
You forged my love just like a weapon
And you turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
You opened up my eyes
"Her name's Kagome." She already knew it was her, she had a feeling, but she had to hear it herself for it to be true. "She's the one right next to Miroku and across Sango." Kikyo smiled sadly.
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
what was missing in my life
"I used to be her.." She said quietly, mostly to herself. Inuyasha had thought the same thing. It had been true, she had been the new girl once and she was Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango's new companion. It was strange how that all worked out.
"Yeah," He said, remembering.
Growing up is not an absence of dreaming
It's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold
And the ones that you've been sold
"Kikyo no matter what happens we'll all think well of you. But, you and I, we're over." She nodded her head while her bangs moved with small shakes as she tried to control her tears.
And Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life
But pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what you've been told
Kikyo got on her tiptoes and took the back of his head in her hand with one arm by her side.
Ohh truth is stranger than fiction
This is my chance to get it right
And life is much better without all of those pretty lies
She kissed his cheek and with her lips still touching him she whispered, "I thought we'd always be together, but now that we're not I can see that it would've never worked. We were too alike. Goodbye Inuyasha..." Then she let him go and walked away with her hands in her pockets and she looked back at everyone, one last time. It was a nice picture, seeing something so real that she could no longer pretend what was true and what was false. "…I love you."
Ohh So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
And you can keep your yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
These are not tears in my eyes
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
I found what's missing in my life
Hehe... I know most of you wanted a regular chapter, not a song fic chapter. And most of you probably wanted to see what would happen next with Inuyasha and Kagome or Miroku and Sango, but I had to dedicate a chappy to Kikyo. If you go back to chapter one you'll remember that Inuyasha and Kikyo were going out so I had to have them break up and this was a good way to me. Okay well you'll get the next chapter soooon lol probably tonight, I'm on a roll lol. Okay well ttyl. Review, please and thankies.
