Love On His Lips
Disclaimer: You know the deal. None of these are mine. Situations are mine, though. Song is mine, you take I sue. Song title? "Blood You Shed". Got it? Good.
Disclaimer for the Disclaimer: I'm her witness that whatever she wrote on the disclaimer is true!
A/N: Well, sorry about that. That was kind of quick. *Sretches* I'm lazy, and haven't been working on this lately. But as you can see from reading it, I'm done! XD have fun with it!
E/N: Yes, you must be scared that Inu-chan's finally updated. For all of you that actually read this stuff...Anyways, for all the Kikyou-haters that want to flame her just because this one isn't a Inu/Kag story, please post your title as, "I want an Inu/Kag story!"
I stand in disbelief,
Thinking week after week.
How could I do this to you?
Something pulls from deep within me.
Something tears inside my head…
The pain
To repay the blood you shed.
Something so wrong,
Something so right,
I held you well into the night.
Safe in my arms,
You never told me a thing!
Never heard those words so true.
This is too,
Hard to believe,
I could never do this to you.
Something pulls from deep within me.
Something tears inside my head…
The pain
To repay the blood you shed.
It could have been anyone.
But it had to be the one I love.
I fall away,
Unable to take,
This harsh reality.
Something pulls from deep within me.
Something tears inside my head…
The pain
To repay the blood you shed
Something so wrong,

Chapter 3
Three days had passed. InuYasha's external wounds had been healed, but he remained quiet. He could have been mad, frustrated, or any other traits that he commonly used, but he chose was to be quiet. He hardly said a word, and when he did, it would be almost inaudible, and about her, they supposed. The loud, obnoxious, and headstrong half-breed they once knew had seemed to disappear. They missed her, but InuYasha seemed to have taken it to the extremes. He would sit by her grave, and stare at it. Fresh flowers could appear on her grave every day. No one knew what he was thinking, but it became almost a daily ritual. No one could, or even tried to get him away. They just left him alone.
Shippou climbed on InuYasha's shoulder. "What'cha thinkin' 'bout?" He asked casually, hoping that would break the ice. Silence was his only answer for a few seconds before InuYasha spoke.
"Things." Came the soft reply. Shippou tried it again. He climbed off and sat next to InuYasha.
"What kind of things?" He pried, knowing he shouldn't go any further. But he wanted to know what he thought, while he sat there. Maybe someone would be able to put his mind at ease, as Miroku had said. Somehow, burying Kikyou didn't 'put his mind at ease'. "Are they…about Kikyou?" He waited for a strike on the head, but it never came. He looked up at him. His eyes were closed and Shippou wondered if he was asleep. He looked so peaceful, yet at the same time, distressed. "InuYasha?...Are they about Kikyou?" He nodded gradually and not including word. "It's okay." Shippou said. "I understand." Truth be told, he didn't. Other than losing his father, there was nothing else he could relate to.
InuYasha's eyes flew open, a flash of a memory entering his mind swiftly and chillingly.
Blood flew throughout the air, the crimson red thieving the glory of the glittering night sky above it. But there was anything but glory down below.
Inuyasha snapped back, like waking from a horrendous dream. "I-InuYasha?" Shippou looked at him, staring intently. "What's wrong? A-are you alright?"
InuYasha nodded slowly, and looked down, his eyes wide. "What was that?" He whispered to himself. Shippou scooted away. He stared at InuYasha through peripheral vision.
"Kagome? Are you okay? I tried to get your attention, but it didn't work until now." Kagome looked up, the happiness gone from her face. Her once glowing face with the gentle smile had now become a face of concern and worry. InuYasha could feel the air change to a heavier cloud of dismal, and he looked at Kagome, expecting the worst.
"Oh." She changed the expression of her face to a mask of happiness, though anyone could feel it's obvious fakeness. InuYasha sank back a little, sulking. He knew she would much rather have him sitting next to her, than sitting next to Kikyou's grave. Miroku cleared his throat, and cast a glance where the Shikon no Tama had once lay. They weren't very far away from the well, and there was a subject that was on everybody's but the mourners mind.
"The Shikon no Tama is complete…" He started, glanced down and away from everybody's stares. "…Now what are we going to do? I know this has been on everybody's mind." He paused, sighing. Sango spoke up.
"I've been wanting to know this…How is it possible that…" She paused also. "Kohaku isn't dead?" Shippou ran next to her.
"I remember!! Naraku had taken the shard out of him a long while back…" He thought. "See…he was fooling us. He had the ability to control him…I think…all along…"
"Then how come he didn't die then?" Kohaku stayed silent, looking down. He finally looked up at Sango.
"Well, I remember…this nice Lady…She fixed my wounds up…when I had ran away from Naraku." They all looked at eachother, except for InuYasha, who stayed silent. "I…I think it was Lady Kikyou, actually…" Sango cast a glance toward Kikyou's grave.
'Oh, thank you…' She thought. There was more sadness in the air as everybody fell quiet. Kohaku stepped over and sat next to Sango, taking her hand. "Well, at least…it's good to be back." He smiled a little, trying to lighten up the mood. Miroku smiled as well, in an effort all the same. So did Shippou. He hopped on InuYasha's shoulders and poked at his cheeks.
"Come on, smile…" InuYasha said nothing. "Come on…it'll make you feel a whole lot better."
"No it won't. Now get off me." InuYasha's voice was low and warning, but it obviously held a note of sadness to it. Shippou sighed, climbing up to his head. He perched himself there, making everybody but InuYasha laugh. InuYasha growled, the first time he actually had sounded angry at something. "Get off me, Shippou…" Shippou hopped off, landing on his feet next to InuYasha.
"Try to lighten up a little…" He sighed, walking away. Sango reached out and patted InuYasha's head. He did not reply.
"If you need to talk, we're always here. Okay?" No reply from his part, but Sango was sure he heard her. "Now…" She looked around, folding her hands in her lap. "What were we talking about?"
"Th-the Shikon no Tama…" Kagome said in a quiet voice, looking down. "What…w-will we do n-now that it's… g-gone?" Miroku looked at her warily.
"Kagome…are you feeling poorly?" She shook her head no, looking up. She gave a quick smile. Miroku sighed. "Yes…back to the subject at hand. What will we do?"
"I-I can't…just keep coming…here." Kagome said. "I mean…there's no purpose…" She looked over at InuYasha. He turned his head to look at her as well. "Right?"
"We'll all miss you if you have to leave, Kagome!" Shippou ran and hugged her. Kagome looked a little shocked, before picking the young fox up and hugging him as well.
"I'm afraid I will have to go…" She looked at all of them. "But without the jewel, how will I be able to get back home? I couldn't transport without it last time…"
"It'll let you." InuYasha said. He stood up, stretching a little. He did nothing else, not really expecting an answer.
"Now how would you know, InuYasha?" Shippou asked, looking at him through Kagome's arms. Kagome looked at him, smiling a little bit. "How?"
"…" InuYasha shrugged and said nothing, sitting back down again. He drew a few things in the dirt, and then erased them with the palm of his hand. Shippou looked at him. "Aren't you going to tell us how?" InuYasha shook his head. "Why? You can't just say something then not tell us how it works!" InuYasha gave him a look that said: 'Can too.' Shippou sank down and fell on his bottom, sighing. "InuYasha…"
"Let's…let's give him a break. I mean…" Kagome stared at him. She wondered if holding his hand would be okay. But he probably wished for Kikyou to do that more.
Suddenly, InuYasha turned around to face them, an intense look on his face. "There's something you're not telling me." He said sharply, glaring at all of them. Sango drew back, looking a bit alarmed. So did Kagome.
"InuYasha…" She started. "What could there possibly that we're not telling you? That's just…" She looked at him. "Would we really lie to you?" Her heart leaped into her throat. What had gotten into him?
"Yes." InuYasha answered simply. "Now say what you're not telling me…" He growled, narrowing his eyes at all of them. Kohaku looked at Sango, and shuddered.
"Why don't I remember who…" InuYasha paused, his voice catching in his throat. "Who…who…who killed her?" He finished. "Tell me what you don't want to, now…"
They all looked at eachother warily. Very well they knew whom the murderer was…but InuYasha wasn't ready to hear. When he was ready, they would tell him. "I said tell me!" InuYasha said, raising his voice for the first time in a long while. Miroku shook his head, looking down.
"N-not…not right now, InuYasha. Later." InuYasha growled, resting his hand on Tetsusaiga's sheath. "InuYasha…" Miroku's eyes widened a bit. "Put that away. Don't turn on your own companions."
"Then tell me, or I…" Kagome broke in. She stood up, looking at InuYasha.
"Sorry, but…Sit, boy!" InuYasha came crashing to the ground, face first. The effects of the charm slowly wore away, and he was left wondering who was about to take his sword out on his own friends. He lifted himself off the ground, throwing curses under his breath.
"Why don't you tell me?" He had stopped sounding angry, somewhat of a relief and disappointment to his friends.
Shippou looked at Kagome. "He has to find out sooner or later…" He sighed, looking down. Kagome blinked, not wanting to acknowledge the fact that he was right. They did have to tell him, but what about his reactions? Could they really crush his heart for a second time? It might be too much to take. All these things ran through Kagome's mind as she sat and stared at InuYasha. He had gone back to his back facing all of them, so she knew he could not see her.
"We need to tell him." They spoke like he was not there, like he couldn't hear them. He wondered why they did that. If they really forgot he was there or not.
"If you have to tell me, tell–" He stopped in mid sentence, as another flash entered his mind. The body before him trembled with fear. They were shouting, screaming for him to stop. But he couldn't hear them. He refused to acknowledge their warning as he raised his hand and–
"InuYasha!" Shippou called to him. InuYasha looked around, and realized he hadn't moved from that very spot. He shivered involuntarily.
"What…?" Kagome looked at him. "You need to know who killed Kikyou, InuYasha. I don't want you to think of this as your own fault, but…"
"J-just tell me and g-get on with it." He tried to make his voice sound like it's usual gruff self, but it was difficult. As he already had a clue who the killer was…
"A-alright…" Her heart thudded in her chest, and her stomach felt hollow and cold. How was he going to take this? She couldn't even get the words out of her mouth, but she tried… "I-InuYasha…Do you really want to know who killed her?"
"Yes, why do you think I would–" He stopped. "Just…tell me."
She closed her eyes, because she didn't want to see his face after words. "InuYasha…" She whispered. "It was you."
A/N: Geez, I hope it wasn't all that predictable. And I know there are not a lot of the other characters in here, and everybody's acting 'ooc'. But…this is only like…what? My third fanfic? Ah well. Thanks for reading! ^^
