Title: Sanctuary of Broken Dreams
Chapter Four: Winter Blues
'Damn.'
The silver-haired boy must've thought that same word for the thousandth time, by now.
'Damn, what had he been thinking!"
Sighing, he glanced out the snowy, foggy window of the school bus filled with unruly teens. They were on their way to the Deep Forest Theaters to watch an anti-bully program play. He couldn't believe he had actually decided to go. But after what he had done. Staying in the same house would've been...! Sighing again, he wished he hadn't done what he had. 'But...'
'Uh! What did she do to him!'
He started to recall the mornings activities, as a slight blush crept into his cheeks.
--------
He awake to the gentle, feminine call of his name. "InuYasha? InuYasha?"
'Kagome? Is she calling me?'
"InuYasha? Are ye even breathing?"
'Nope. Not Kagome, only Kaede.'
Stifling a yawn, he mumbled," Mmm."
"Well, that wasn't an Albert Einstein answer, but good enough," the older women muttered after a small chuckle.
Sleep still tugging at his eyelids, he looked to see Kaede at his bed side. Then, he turned to the clock. Red lines seemed to jiggle and dance, so he focused a little harder to read: 6 am.
"Why did you-" he began to question.
" I needed to know if ye were venturing to ye school? Are ye?" she asked him as she went over to the cream lace-trimmed curtains and opened them.
The groggy boy cringed at the bright glare of the Sun's reflections on the snow. Flipping the sheets over his head, he outwardly groaned. Did his life suck about now, or what?
"I take it ye aren't going?"
He pondered this. If he didn't go...they would call his apartment. If he wasn't at his apartment...they would call him. That was the last thing he needed. After all, he hadn't seen him in a while now, and planned to keep it that way. He was going for sure.
" InuYasha?"
"I'm going."
"Are ye sure? Well, if that's ye decision...better get a move on," she said as she walked out shutting the door behind her.
Once he was positive she was downstairs, he got out the bed. Opening the door, he creeped out into the hall. He didn't want to wake Kagome and he wasn't prepared to been seen in only his plaid boxers and a navy shirt. As he passed her door, he sweet scent tickled his nose. Damn,did her scent always have to do that to him. Losing the battle to resist his urges, he decided to take a glimpse.
He cracked the door...and heard a rustle!
He froze. And then...
Silence...
Continuing his motive, he swiftly entered the girl's room. And his heart stopped.
Heaven must be missing this angel for sure! She slept, calmly and softly. Her body was positioned in his direction, with her arms under her white,fluffy pillow. Sky blue sheets caressed each of her curves, and moved up and down as she breathed. They were pulled up, under her arms. Although, her purple shirt's neck had slipped onto her shoulder revealing her collarbone Her curtains were apart enough to let the Sun's fiery rays to slip in and create sunset colors dance and highlight her raven locks, which were sprawled around her slim figure. Curved yet fragile, black eyelashes dressed her closed eyelids. Her skin carried a light, tan glow. And then...
And then...
He glumped. His cheeks were beyond flushed and he was beginning to get covered in a light sweat.
And then...
Her lips.
Her lips were slightly agape. They were a lovely, light pink and were glistening, thanks to the sunlight.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Walking towards her, he leaned over, shadowing her goddess features. His hands pressed into the sheets, on both her sides. She continued to sleep, unaware of his motives. He continued to lean, unaware of his own motives. Finally...
Finally, he was only inches from her cerise lips,when...
She turned towards the window,her lips grazing his own for only seconds. Her body, also following in suit, caused his left hand to slip, which lead him to topple onto her. His face landed right onto her neck and collarbone.
He froze.
Looking like a tomato, because of his embarrassment, he felt his south get aroused. He blushed even more. He clenched his eyes. Hear it came, she would forever think he was a pervert. Any minute, now?
Opening his amber eyes, he noticed she hadn't woken up. He let out a relieved sigh. Slowly, he crawled off her, and jumped to the door,expertly. Shutting the door, he sprinted to the bath room, and jumped into the shower! He blasted the cold water on his heated body.
As the freezing water thundered down on him, he took ragged gasps for air. His silver hair hung limply on his head. His bangs shadowed his eyes as he spoke.
"I'm sorry...Kagome."
--------
He shook his head, and sighed again. 'Damn.'
"There you go, again! Is that the only word in your vocabulary! Damn. Then, sigh. Then another, damn. And then another sigh! My Buddha! Are you depressed! If so, I 'll start praying RIGHT NOW!" the violet-eyed monk hollered at him.
InuYasha smirked. Leave it to his buddy, Miroku to crack him up, especially when he was distressed.
"Are you aware that you used the Buddha's name in vain? What kind of monk are you?"
Miroku lowered his lids mid-way. "There's the InuYasha I know. And by the way, I am a monk. I just go under a special category. Thank ya, very much."
The half-demon chuckled. " That category must be called 'The Faithful, yet Lecherous'."
Miroku's violet eyes twinkled with fury. 'Uh, oh..' InuYasha thought when-WHAM! The monk socked him in the arm.
"Jeesh, no need to "purify" me. Good grief," InuYasha muttered annoyingly, rubbing him arm.
Miroku rubbed hie eyes. "Good grief, yourself. Man. All this noise his killing me."
"Noise...?" the silver-haired boy wondered aloud.
That's when he heard someone 's high-pitched laughter.While he had "zoned out" he hadn't realized how noisy the bus really was. He could hear girls' whispering( probably gossip), the guys hitting each other and hacking up spit balls, some people clicking on PSPs and Game Boy Advances, only the usual bus routine.
He needed not to listen to this crap. Turning to the older boy, he saw he was asleep. 'Humph. 5 minutes ago he was complaing about noise and now he's nodding off. I don't believe him! I don't want to sleep, so I'll listen to my mp3.' Taking it out of his pocket, he flipped through his songs,choosing one for his current mood. Which who knew what it was.
" 'Try Honesty' by Billy Talent? Nope. 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt? No. 'Where'd You Go' by Fort Minor. Nope. 'Move Along' by All American Rejects? No...'So Damn Beautiful' by Polaroid? Yeah..." he mumbled to himself.
"...What do you see in me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe?
Feeling that hangs around everything,
You are still marrying that girl...
You're so damn beautiful.
I will see you rise, again.
And I will feel you fly, again.
You're so wonderful.
I will be there by your side.
You're so wonderful.
I will be there by your side..."
His amber orbs, saddened at those words. ' Kagome, you are so wonderful. But...I was at your side and look what I did...to you?'
