Behind The Double Mirrors
Chapter Five: Explanations, beat-ups, make-ups, make-outs.

InuYasha's P.o.V.
An annoying light was stabbing through my eyelids, telling me to wake the fuck up. I didn't want to though. Fuck the world. I didn't want to hear the bad news...
But I heard voices now. Kim and..Maxine, too. I opened my eyes and looked at them.
"Good morning, handsome.." Maxine said softly. It took me a moment to process it, but I reacted finally.
I jumped off the window sill and gave her a light kiss on the lips. It felt so good..just to taste her, and to now she was alright. I clutched her hand and nuzzled her neck,"Good morning, beautiful angel..." I whispered. She smiled tiredly and gave it a squeeze. Kim smiled lightly, silently stepping for the door,"I'll go check on Meg..." she said,"..bye, sweetie. I love you."
"Love you too, Kimmerz.." Maxine replied as Kim closed the door.
I took a seat at the edge of her bed, smiling at her,"You gave me a scare..." I said softly. She chuckled,"Yea, sorry about that.." she replied in her small, weak voice with a sarcastic tone,"I just thought getting attacked and bloodied up in an elevator would be exciting, y'know?"
I smirked, shaking my head, giving her another kiss,"I feared for the worst..." I whispered in her ear, nuzzling her neck, taking in the familiar scent of her hair, nipping at the familiar spot below her ear.
She giggled softly, kissing me once more,"..I felt myself fading a few times...but I made it.." she whispered, squeezing my hand once more,"...they had interesting news this morning..."
"What could be more interesting than your beauty?" I asked, laying kisses on her neck.
"...I'm pregnant, and they said the injury didn't injure the baby, though they have to keep an eye on it. I'm pregnant, I'm okay, and so is our child..." she whispered.
I lifted my head and looked at her in a bit of shock,"Oh, wow," I breathed.
Kim's P.o.V. again, hooray.
I walked out of Maxine's room to let her tell InuYasha their news, walking back into Meg's room. Sarah was rocking little Birdie, as we all called Om, and Mayank was asleep on a chair. The curtain separater was open and Meg and Jack were eating a quiet breakfast. Jack had regained his colour, but still looked exhausted. He clung to Meg's hand, nodding in greeting towards me. He'd been very quiet, my guess was because of whatever had happened. Meg was a bit shut off, too, tending to talk in one word answers and clinging to Jack's hand tightly. They were finally talking really, this time, though.
It seemed they were talking about whatever had happened...trying to make connections. I pulled up a chair,"Where's Sarah..?" I asked.
"She took Birdie to feed him..Mayank's who cares where," she replied.
"Aha," I said,"So what's going?"
"We're trying to figure out what the fuck happened."
"Always fun stuff."
"Aye, indeed," Jack added, sarcastically.
"What have we figured out?" I asked, leaning forward.
Meg and Jack exchanged glances. I perked a brow,"Don't rush to say anything," I said.
"Lass...Kaiba, InuYasha, and I got involved in some rough things when we all..first met," Jack said hesitantly.
I perked a brow once more,"Oh..?"
"Aye..we..weren't allowed to stay in this world unless.."
"Unless what, Sparrow?" I asked, a bit harshly.
"We kind of..." He started, hesitating.
"They sold their souls to the so-called 'Dimension Witch'.." Meg said hesitantly.
"...the who now?" I asked.
"She..sent us here, under the condition that we give her our souls. She can recall us at any time, killing our souls.." Jack said.
"...okay..Kim is confused.." I said, holding my head.
"She tried recalling us.. But there was a problem. Since our hearts are a part of our souls, she couldn't take us.." Jack explained.
"Yea but.. wait..wha?" I asked, confused.
"You girls hold our hearts.." Jack replied to my confusion, squeezing Meg's hand lightly,"But..see...Kaiba more or less..gambled his life and your relationship to win our souls back."
"He what? He gambled our relationship? How? Explain. Now." I said.
"He decided the relationship was falling apart..so he told her, the witch that is, that she could have his heart, which belonged to you, in exchange for our souls.. But the problem was that his heart was a part of yours, and yours his so... he gambled both your lives.. now the witch is taking all our lives apart, it seems..." Jack said, as quickly as possible, looking at me a bit fearful. Meg and him looked at me, waiting for me to explode. I felt my heart race, my head spinning.
"...I'll be right back..." I said, as calmly as I could, standing up and walking out of the room. Sarah walked in as I departed, saying,"..so they told you?"
"...yes..." I replied, walking down the hall where Seto was talking to some doctors.
"There's good news..Maxine should be released in a few days, they just want to watch for any trouble with the--" he said, stopping when I raised my hand, letting my palm come across his cheek strongly with a slap.
I shoved him backwards angrily, yelling,"You bargained OUR relationship! OUR love! OUR FUCKING ENGAGEMENT!" I shouted, very angry now. It hurt to know this now, after I'd spent so many nights lying awake wondering why we'd broken it off.
"YOU BARGAINED OUR FUTURE TOGETHER! YOU FUCKING NEVER HAD A FUCKING SOUL TO BEING WITH, YOU FUCKING BASTARD, WHY WOULD YOU WANT ONE BACK?!"
"Kim..please..you have to understand.."
"I will NOT ever understand why you broke my heart, Seto Kaiba."
"Kimberley, please..." he repeated, a bit harsher.
I stepped forward and raised my hand, swinging it back for another hit, but he caught my wrist and twisted it slightly, anger flashing in his eyes,"You will NOT hit me again, Kimberley.."
"Let me go, you fucking bastard!" I yelled, spitting at his face,"I hate you! I hate you for what you did, how you did it!"
He pulled at my wrist,"Let's talk about this somewhere else, please.."
"No, Seto..I am through with taking anyone's shit, especially someone like you..who bargains another's love.. my heart was a part of yours!" I yelled, holding back tears,"You..broke my heart, Seto..."
He pulled at my wrist again, guiding my to the staircase corridor, closing the door behind him. He looked up and down the steps before looking at me again,"I didn't know what I was doing... we were..fading without our souls, Kim..."
"So you gave that witch our hearts?! Our relationship?!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the stair corridor.
"Kim...please..it was a mistake. Why do you think I came back?"
"Because you fucking felt guilty about Meg and Jack..and now Maxine, Seto! You know what she means to me!"
"I know..I know how much they all mean to you... but I came back also because I needed to be close to you to make sure..she didn't try to take your soul for our hearts..."
I sighed, sitting down, holding my head,"Goddess, this is so confusing, Seto! How..just how could you? Answer that."
He sat down beside me, hanging his head,"I..really don't know. It was a dick move, that's for damn sure.."
"No shit, Sherlock.." I muttered in reply. He chuckled lightly, looking up at me,"You're still the same you, Kim...cocky, but lovable.."
"Yea, whatever.." I mumbled. "And still beautiful," he whispered, meeting my eyes when I looked up at him. "Oh, really..?" I whispered back,"Well you're still a bastard." I looked away, concentrating on a spot on the wall. I tried to make myself wonder how it'd gotten there while he continued.
"But I'm a bastard who only let you into my soft side..keep that in mind.." He muttered helplessly.
"Yea..yea, true.. You're a bastard but..a lovable one, to me..." I replied, looking back over at him,"Though..you've changed, Kaiba. You've...softened some."
"Losing your love, your heart, and your soul can do that to a person, Kimberley," he said with some bitterness,"I was an idiot..."
I reached for his hand,"Yea, you were.."
He squeezed mine tightly, closing himself off again, as he was known for. His blue eyes grew stern as they met mine. I brushed his brown hair from his eyes, falling for his mysteriousness,"You're pulling me in again.." I murmured. "How?" He replied, smirking his little smirk. "You know how..." I whispered, leaning in close as his lips met mine.
And now my anger melted in that kiss, as his tongue moved slowly, my parted lips allowing entry, meeting his with my own.
