Broken Heart, Open Mind

*~*

Please help me 'cause I'm breaking down,
This picture's frozen and I can't get out
Please help me 'cause I'm breaking down,
This picture's frozen and I can't get out (of here)
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you
Keep it inside the image portrayed
As if I couldn't stand losing as if I couldn't be saved, no way
A small confession I think I'm going to lose it
I think I'm drifting away from the people I really need
A small reflection on, when we were younger
We had it all figured 'cause we had everything covered
Now we're older it's getting harder to see
What this future will hold for us, what the f--- are we going to be?

Chapter Three: Resolution

*~*

She... was actually going to tell me what was going on? I stared at her face as she opened her mouth to speak,

"But first, you have to tell me what you were doing while I was kidnapped," She said, her eyes darted on the floor. I could smell saline on the air, evidence that she was threatening to cry soon. "Because I need the truth from you before you hear it from me." What the hell? What was she talking about? I looked down. Didn't she understand? I had been looking for her the entire time... except for that one time... when Kikyou came... I blotted my thoughts from it. No, she didn't need to know what happened... because I don't even believe it as true.

"You know the truth, Kagome," I whispered. Kagome looked up to glare at me, and then she slapped. Damn! Did she have to do that?!

"You're damn right I know the truth," She said, her voice rising to a shout. If she knew the truth... why the fuck was she asking ME what the truth was?! "And if you don't say what it is, I'll.. I'll..." Her voice cracked as she started to think of a threat. "I'll... I'll.. go with your brother."

"What?!" My outrage was cut off by her loud sob. "H-h-hey... don't... don't cry..." I hate it when she cries... makes me feel so damn guilty... My ears were back, as if I was a hurt puppy and watched her cry. "I... I'll tell you, if you stop crying..." Suddenly, she stiffened. She sat up to glare at me without even wiping the tears on her cheeks.

"Fuck you, Inuyasha," She said. My eyes widened. What did I say?! She stood up, and walked out. "I'm going to be with Kouga-kun for awhile. Don't follow me... you'll face an even worse foe than Naraku if you do." With that, she just up and walked away. My mind kept spinning around like a top... she never made much sense... now she made even less than usual. I felt a drop of water fall on my hand. I looked into the sky. It wasn't raining...

It took me awhile to realize I was crying.

*~*

I didn't want her to leave... but I'd rather have her stomp it out with that wolf and his pack (hopefully she'd destroy the damn pack while she was at it) than yell at me some more. I must've looked pissed off, because when the houshi and Sango walked in, they both had looks of surprise. I looked at Miroku to see him holding Sango's hand... I felt even more pissed off.

"Inuyasha, where did Kagome-sama go?" Miroku asked. He had the gall to ask me that. I glared at him, before sticking my hands in my sleeves and staring into the fire. Even though I tried not to show it, I could hear him whisper to Sango, "He messed it up again, ne?" That was it. The straw that broke the hanyou's back.

"I didn't mess it up! She just went all psychotic on me! I didn't do anything to her!" I shouted. "SHE was the one who left to go to Kouga's! I didn't even yell at her!" I noticed Sango looking at me... with fear in her eyes. I dropped onto the ground.

"Kagome-chan... told you, ne?" Sango whispered.

"Iya. She was about to."

"Ah... then... you don't know why she was mad," Sango said. She sounded like she was speaking more to herself than to me. "Gomen ne, Inuyasha, I know why she's like this... Tell her what happened with you and Kikyou--"

"WHAT?! How the fuck did you hear about me and Kikyou!?" I shouted, up on my feet again. Sango glared at me. "HOW?!" She stood up to stare at me directly in the eyes.

"Kagome-chan deserves someone who will stay loyal to her... not someone who will sleep with the first walking corpse he sees!" Sango shouted. "You broke her heart, you baka! She hates you now! That's why!" She breathed in deeply. "I told her I wouldn't tell you... but since you're such an idiot, I HAD to tell you!"

"Na-- Nani?" I asked. What was she talking about.... sleep with... walking corpse...? "I didn't sleep with Kikyou." It was the truth!

"Then tell me why she saw it in Kanna's mirror."

-3rd Person Point of View-

Kouga and Kagura

*~*

The blue-eyed wolf youkai ran at full speed the moment he smelled her scent. Or was it Naraku's? Oh well, he shrugged. It was either one, and he didn't care which he came across. Kouga's eyes scanned the horizon for any sign of the wind youkai, Kagura, or of the hanyou, Naraku. He smirked when he saw the former in tangles on the ground. He slowed down, and stopped in front of her. He chuckled mercilessly. Kagura's kimono was torn and in pieces, her hair mussled and tossed, her red eyes bloodshot.

All in all, she looked like shit.

"Well, well... What do I have here...?" Kouga asked, circling the wind youkai. Kagura, trying to get up to face him, fell down on her face. Kouga laughed. "You know, Kagura, you seem to be at the end of your rope. I was really hoping for a good fight to make up for you murdering my pack." Kagura looked at him pitifully. "Now, don't give me that look... I might let you go. And you know, that isn't what I want to do."

"If you kill me, you'll never know about what happened with Kagome and Inuyasha."

That stilled Kouga's fist, which had been aiming directly at her skull. "What about Kagome and that inu-kuro?"

"He... it's a rumor, Naraku found it to be true... Inuyasha... raped Kagome... in the middle of the forest. She's looking for you now... go to her... protect her from Inuyasha," Kagura said. "Because... Naraku swore that he'd take Kagome if you didn't."

"The bastard..."

"Go, or else Naraku will take her!" Kagura urged. 'This plan better work...' She thought, angrily.

"Why do you want to help Kagome?" Kouga asked.

"Look at me! Naraku did this to me! I don't want that bastard to do it to anyone else!" Kagura yelled. "Now go! You can kill me later!" Kouga turned towards the forest, but not before he winked and smirked at the wind youkai on the ground.

"The next time I won't stop my fist," He swore, before running off.

"You fool," Kagura said, before standing up easily, and flying off in her feather.

Back in Inuyasha's point of view...

*~*

"Then tell me why she saw it in Kanna's mirror." I looked at Sango dead in the eyes, and saw nothing but seriousness and hatred for me reflected back. I shouldn't be surprised. Sango always stood up for Kagome, even if Kagome was wrong. Well, these were one of those times. Kagome believed something that Naraku told her. NARAKU, for Christ's sakes! What was going through that girl's mind?! I sighed. It must've been audible to even ningens' ears, for Sango's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Don't you dare lie to me, Inuyasha." Whoa... total deja vu...

"I don't know. Maybe Naraku made her see it... to try and get us apart. Who knows? But I can tell you, I never slept with Kikyou. Not even when she was alive," I told her. "It was true I saw her in the forest... we spoke a bit... but I didn't do anything else." Miroku's eyebrow raised. "What?"

"Nothing... I'm just surprised that you were able to keep your," Miroku chuckled. "urges down, even with Kikyou-sama in that wet miko--" I glared at him. How'd he know Kikyou was we... "I saw her on her way to meet you." Oh... that explained a lot. "But I know you didn't do anything to her. Kikyou-sama may have just wanted to talk." He coughed a bit into his hand, "Of course, but all of the times she's tried to talk with you, it was more to guilt you into sending you to Hell."

"That is true, houshi-sama," Sango said. A look from Miroku made her blush, why, I have no clue. "Oh... Miroku." I looked between the two ningens before walking out of the hut. "Wait, where are you going?"

"To look for Kagome," I answered, shortly.

"Why, she told you not to follow," Miroku asked, following me. "She'd just sit you a few dozen times and run off again."

"I need to sort this entire fucking thing right," I answered, and leapt into the forest, hopefully leaving the houshi and taiji-ya confused. I sure was.

[Author's Note: Whew... I wrote this immediately. Somehow I like writing in Inuyasha's point of view better than Kagome's... ^_- I'm not very amazed by review amount, but I like writing this fiction, so I'll continue it. Maybe I should change the summary...? I'll try that...]

DOUBLE ARIGATOU, KATZZTAR AND STORM-MAKER! You guys make my day. ^_^
