InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Relish in Your Life ❯ Why? ( Chapter 3 )

Chap.3- Why? (A Bunch of Explanation)

"I didn't know you would liven the party up like this." Inu said after Kagome woke in her room at the mansion. "I never told you what I would do about it did I?" she smiled halfheartedly. He smiled back.

"Well Ms. Higarashi… since your in bed why don't you tell me some things I want to know." "Okay… what?" she looked at his golden eyes. "Like how did you meet my brother?"

"Believe it or not your brother was not always Mr. I'm So High and Mighty. He was once a kid too. We met in college I was new there and he was my guide. The punk type. I was attracted to him until I found out what he was. It drove me away and we haven't talked for awhile." She smiled. "I remember when he had a band. Never made it big though."

"Okay… are you miko?" "Yes. Please don't put that in any article though. It'll destroy everything I've created. My home, my band, my life. I try not to let it get in my way."

He looked at her strangely. "Okay how about will you go out with me?" Kagome giggled. "No. I don't do anything other than humans."

"I thought so. Tell me about your past."

"My mother was a drug addict, died two years ago. My father was killed in a drive by shooting in our old neighborhood. Before my mother overdosed she told me I would never amount to anything, so instead of listening to her I decided I would do what I could with the friends I had. And I pushed so hard that I finally got a record deal. My band dropped me. I found Rai in an alley, passed out and took him in. he showed me how to play the drums, and I recruited him. Darren… Darren was dragged into this by Felis, the friends made a pact that neither could last the reign of Kagome so they are trying to beat out one another." She took a deep breath then started again.

"Sango took me under her wing and got me into the music business again. Rin is just a hire on. Kaede does not live here and you probably will never see her. And that about wraps up my life."

"I have never met anyone with such a sob story unless you count that blonde chick, and the guy on the new teen magazine… and a few others. Come on Kagome I'm not stupid. That's not truly you."

"Yes it is." She said flatly. He looked at her eyes and saw she wasn't lying. "I'm sorry." "For what? Not believing it really happens? There are millions of kids and parents that are going through what I went through and you think my life is a joke? You're more of an air head than your brother."

He looked at his feet. "My life's not all that great either…" he said in a barely audible tone. "Let's hear it then." Kagome said propping her head in her hands on top of her pillow. Inu flicked a piece of his long hair behind his ears.

"My mother and father died when I was little in a car wreck. I'm related to Sesshoumaru by my father only. He didn't even know I existed until about fourteen years ago. Since then we've battled against each other. I can play any musical piece as long as I listen to it two or three times first on basically any instrument, I love the violin though. I became a reporter because I wanted to annoy my brother. Now I want to know why you feel comfortable with me in the room when most become edgy."

"Rai is part hanyou, but not full so I'm used to the aura, Darren is a vampire, so I'm used to his aura, and I have a few other auras that I'm used to also. Also because I don't think I should judge people by how they look or talk, but by how they carry themselves or how they answer questions, like you. You don't give a straight answer, no yes or no's, but long drawn out answers like me. Tell me when I'm boring you."

He was looking so intensely at her that she thought if she touched him he would shatter into thousands of pieces. And that's when he leaned over hooking his hand behind her neck and pulling her forward. He made their lips meet in a short kiss. Rai walked in right then as did Sango and Darren. When Inu let go Kagome had her eyes shut and had not seen the intruders nor felt them.

"So what the hell was that?" Darren asked as he stepped farther into the room after no one spoke. Kagome's eyes flew open in surprise and Inu turned quickly. Kagome let her head fall back to her pillow and she stared at Rai who seemed to be a statue in the door way. Kagome smiled when no one was looking at her. "What was what?"

"Kagome are you feeling alright?" Rai asked with dangerously dilated eyes. "Rai. Your eyes. Are you mad at me?" Kagome asked flinging her legs out of the bed. Rai clenched his teeth and ran out. Kagome sat there not understanding, not wanting to.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"How could she pretend like its okay? She hates him. She hates him." Rai said to himself as he lay in his room on the cold marble floor. He looked to his dark red ceiling for answers. None came.

A knock made him jump. He hurried to the door and opened it only an inch or so. "What?" he spat at Rin. She kept her eyes down but spoke softly enough that he opened the door to her. "Come in we must talk privately." He looked both ways down the hall before shutting the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Kagome asked Sango when Inu had left. "Kagome, you kissed Inu-Yasha, what do you think?" Sango put it plainly. It stung. When she entered the dining room the auras she sensed were tense.

She held back at the door. She couldn't face them. She couldn't handle their auras. Before the door swung closed Kagome looked at the only anger in the room. Rai stared back at her.

She fled to the music room. Kagome slid carefully behind the piano. She closed her eyes and began to play something she had played for years. She didn't open her eyes when someone entered, she didn't even hear them come in. the melody played in her head like it had done so many times before. The intruder moved her hair back. Kagome played harder.

Kagome started to sing slowly. "I will come back for you my love… I will kill for you my love… I will die for you my love… will you?" she stopped for a moment. "I will fly for you my love… I will cry for you my love… I will be the sky for you my love… when darkness falls… on these empty halls… I will die for you my love… will you?"

Kagome's hair had twisted into a ponytail and then was twisted and twirled so it curled perfectly. She played but opened her eyes. Realizing someone was there she turned. Her hair fell around her shoulders still in twisted curls, the ponytail fell though. No one was there. Her eyes filled with tears as she recognized the aura. "Daddy…"

An: Not all the explanation is in there… there had to be some darkness left in Kagome's life to tell later. Hope you enjoyed it. It may be a while before I get the next one up. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I still have about four people to talk about… so it may take a while to form an idea. I will try to post as soon as I can!!
