Healings of a Broken Heart

Chapter 3- No More Tears

Kagome raced down the stairs. 'Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry,' she repeated franticly in her head. She was so sick of always crying. She had been drowning in tears for what felt like forever. She wanted to stop drowning; to swim to the surface for a breath of air. She no longer cared if the pain came up with her or not. She knew she it wasn't going to be able to leave it at the bottom of this sea of tears. She would stop trying to cry it out. Now she knew, crying wasn't going to work.

She reached the bottom of the stairs and headed down the hall. She soon reached the front door and headed out to the bus stop. Kaede was there, fussing over the little children like a mother hen over her chicks, fixing jackets, gloves, and scarves. Kagome pushed away a memory that threatened to flash through her mind and walked over to where the high-schoolers were supposed to wait for the bus.

A few seconds later Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha burst out of the door.

"Sorry we're late Kaede-sama!" Sango called as the three walked over to where Kagome was standing. For a moment she thought they were there to see her. Then she realized that they were supposed to wait at the same place as her.

"It's all right children," Kaede replied, and then she noticed Kagome. "Kagome! What are ye doing out here?" she cried. "Ye have to stay home today because ye were sick last night."

"I feel fine," Kagome said quietly. She looked down and blushed; she hoped she hadn't made Kaede worried.

"Even if ye feel fine ye are not allowed to attend school until 24 hours after ye are sick," Kaede told her.

Kagome sighed, "Yes, Kaede-sama."

Kaede smiled and moved on to Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango. "Sango and Miroku, ye are on driving duty today. Ye must take all the children to their after school activities. Inuyasha, ye are the only one with nothing to do after school. I will be running errands all day, so when you get home make sure Kagome is ok, and do your homework," she paused and thought for a moment, "Oh, and the cookies in the cupboard are off limits," she smiled warmly at the three of them, "understand?"

Three heads nodded. Inuyasha was scowling, he didn't want to be responsible for Kagome, but he didn't have a choice.

The bus for the middle-schoolers pulled up and Kagome went over to say goodbye to Souta. "Bye Souta, have a great day!" Kagome said cheerfully. "And don't forget your guitar lesson after school."

"Sure," he said with a nod.

She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you," she whispered, straitening up.

"I love you, too," he whispered gruffly.

"Don't worry I wont tell your friends," she said with a grin.

He scowled at her and headed for the bus; turning to stick his tongue out at her over his shoulder.

This almost caused a giggle to bubble from her throat. Almost…

Souta sat down on the bus and as it pulled away she waved to him, mouthing the word 'bye'. He grinned and waved back.

When the bus was out of sight Kagome gave a satisfied sigh and turned to go inside. Suddenly a voice came from behind her.

"So have you always been like that?" Sango asked.

Kagome jumped and turned to see her standing with Inuyasha and Miroku…those 3 always seemed to be together.

"Oh God!" Inuyasha said, sounding horrified, "I bet they have! I bet they've always been a perfect little family." He then widened his eyes and continued in a babyish whisper, "I wuv you, too, Kagome, but don't tell my friends." Inuyasha gave a big wink.

Kagome scowled. She had had it. Something inside her had snapped when she was descending those stairs that morning. She was different.

-SMACK-

Kagome slapped Inuyasha across the face. "Bastard!" she yelled, "How dare you insult my brother!!!"

For a moment Inuyasha looked stunned at the outburst. Then his facial expression changed. "Standing up for your brother 'cause he can't defend himself?" he said with a smirk. "And on the other hand I could call you a stupid bitch and you would only hang your head in shame. You're pathetic!"

(A/N: oops…almost wrote Kikyou there! Wow I've seen the first episode WAY too many times…)

For a moment Kagome saw red. Her teeth were clenched so hard her jaw hurt. Suddenly a change came over her. She took a deep breath, and her jaw relaxed.

Kagome gave Inuyasha a disgusted look. "You know what, I'm not in the mood to take your shit right now," and with that she turned and walked towards the house. She opened the door and before entering called over her shoulder, "And don't insult my brother just because you hate me."

With that she went inside, slamming the door behind her.

"Was that really Kagome?" Miroku asked, stunned.

"I wonder what made her change." Sango murmmered curiously. "Oh, and how's your cheek, Inuyasha?" she said turning to him.

He just smirked. "This is starting to get interesting.

X.x

A/N: Ok I'll end it here because it's already been forever since I updated. Did you notice how Kaede conveniently disappeared when they needed to fight! Hehe the powers of an author!

I'm sorry if this was really ADD, but after a while (like two weeks) I realized I had 13 reviews (YAY!) and it was time to get off my lazy ass and write something. So this was pretty rushed. I hope it doesn't suck too much! I have a pretty good idea for the next chapter, so umm it will come out soon if I can get myself to sit down and write it (which will happen a lot sooner if I get a lot of reviews –looks pointedly at readers-).

Well that's all for now, I hope you liked it! Please review!

Awww screw my penname!

Ttfn!
