Tears From The Heart

Ch1: Heavy Heart

Disclaimer: First time writing a fanfic ever!(please be nice on the reviews) Don't own Inuyasha or Yu yu Hakusho. Warning: violence, swearing, and possible mild adult themes, maybe some limes but no lemons(Sorry! I'm only a virgin after all).

Summary: Before the battle with Naraku, Kagome's mother told her and her brother Sota the truth on who they really are. The truth that may brake her bond with her friends in the past. But when Kagome returns home to her family only to find them murdered in front of her eyes by a group of hired evil demons send by someone unknown. And what's this about the dark tournament...

The Inuyasha gang stopped to make camp for the night. The tension was thick in the air as they stop a few yards away from the river. Kagome started to make dinner, Sango and Shippo set up the sleeping arrangements as Miroku went to fetch the firewood. Inuyasha on the other hand sat sulking on top of the branch overlooking the campsite. Kagome would glimpse up to her hanyou friend once in a while. She and the others knew that he feels frustrated on not finding any rumors or traces on the remaining shards or of Naraku. Although, she looks cheerful on the outside, she was hiding her pain and grief in the inside. Inuyasha hardly notice anything wrong with her. But the others have a suspicion that something happen to her, Miroku and Shippo believe that Inuyasha did something wrong. Sango on the other hand was planning to ask her about her family. She knows all too well the glaze painful look Kagome gets when someone mentions "Brother," "momma" or "family" something she always does when she recalls her village and Kohaku.

Handing out cups of ramen to everyone, they ate some what quietly for a few moments. Inuyasha wolfed down his portion quickly, then wanting more he bonked Shippo on the head as he stole the kit's portion.

"Waaah, Momma! That mutt-face hit me and stole my ramen" Shippo cried out to Kagome. For some time now he started to call her momma for the past two months. He yelled out in pain when Inuyasha hit him again for calling him Mutt-face.

"Keh, have you been hanging out with that wolf bastard for a while now brat?" he scolds the young kit. However, he didn't count on Kagome glaring him so cold that made him shivered in fear.

"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!' he had prepare for the impact but this time the command send him four feet down more than the usual two feet to the ground. 'Inuyasha, don't you dare pick on my kit nor do you insult or cuss in front of him when I'm around" her voice was calm and cold that might rival Sesshomaru's.

"Kagome can be very scary sometimes," Miroku whispered to Sango as he watched the whole event. Sango was too engrossed on how Kagome was acting all of a sudden to notice a certain monk's hand moving toward her rear end. Shippo stuck his tongue out at him from his perch in the tree after he got out of his hole. He was safely in his surrogated mother's arms when he heard "HENTAI" followed by a slap.

"Will he ever learn? Momma" he looked up to Kagome, who only gave a small smile at the scene. He knew that Kagome had in fact had gotten over her love for Inuyasha in the past few weeks after the incident they both stumped upon Kikyo and Inuyasha in the forest.

FLASHBACK

Kagome and Shippo were having a stroll in the woods heading toward the hotsprings. Sango stayed behind with Miroku, she didn't want to join because it was un-usual for a person to bathe everyday. Inuyasha had left after they ate, knowing him, he must have seen those serpent shikigami(sp?) that follow Kikyo around. It hurt to know that he left her for the dead priestess, but she can't blame Kikyo or Inuyasha. If it hadn't been for Naraku to butt in, and have both of them think that the other betrayed each other. As they walk, they notice the serpent shikigami flying past them to a few feet away. They both hid behind a clustered of trees, noticing it was Kikyo and Inuyasha holding one another in a loving embrace. Kagome look at the scene with heartbroken eyes, Shippo hugged her tightly giving silent support to his mother. They were about to leave when Kikyo asked something that made Kagome stop in her tracks.

"Inuyasha, what do you think of my reincarnation? Do you love her more than me?" Kikyo held him close to her as they look at each others eyes. Kagome had her back against the trunk of the tree, holding Shippo close to her. Inuyasha look down at Kikyo's chocolate brown eyes with his dull gold ones.

"Kikyo, you know that I care and love you, and only you. I only watch over Kagome because she can see the shards. She is only a shard detector and nothing more. She means absolutely nothing to me. She is useless in battle, she is nothing compare to you, love" as they close the subject with a passionate kiss.

Kagome's bangs covered her eyes to the world, only the tears she shed were visible in the moonlight. Shippo was held more tightly but not uncomfortable, he also hugged her fiercely giving evidence to the young miko how angry he was at the hanyou. Leaving the two unknown couple behind at their wake, they continue their destination to the springs.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Probably not, why don't we head to bed, my little kit" as she sat on her sleeping bag that was across from Inuyasha's tree.

"Momma, can't you sing me a song before I sleep. Please" as he stare at her of his version of puppy dog look only the fox version. Nodding, she stared up to the full moon that seems so large tonight.

(theme song in Princess Mononoke movie)

In the moonlight I felt your heart

Quiver like a bowstring's pulse

In the moon's pure light, you looked at me

Nobody knows your heart

When the sun is gone I see you

Beautiful and haunting, but cold

Like the blade of a knife, so sharp and so sweet

Nobody knows your heart

All of your sorrow, grief and pain

Locked away in the forest of the night

Your secret heart belongs to the world

Of the things that sigh in the dark

Oh the things that cry in the dark

Kagome's voice was both calm and soothing, yet there was a hint of sadness when she recalls Inuyasha's words. 'She is only a shard detector and nothing more. She means absolutely nothing to me' Shippo had been lulled to sleep as she rock him back and forward as she sang. Sango and Miroku watched her sing with a melancholy smile on her face. Inuyasha glance at her throughout the song before he turns his attention toward the forest where he came from after visiting Kikyo. Far from the group, others heard her song as well; the wind had carried her voice astoundingly few miles, reason being that they had camp near the canyon which echoed her voice that may have spread to nearby villages, and occupants in the forest.

The Western Lord sat against a large tree, the toad demon was fussing over a young human girl to go to bed. The two headed dragon lazily watch them with amusement until his heads perk up toward a faint song from the east. The young girl noticed as well as the young demon lord.

"What is it Ah Un?" the young girl questioned, then listening a voice in the air.

"Insolent girl, Lord Sesshomaru has ordered you…" as he slip to the floor when the young girl stopped running all of a sudden.

"But Master Jaken, there's a voice singing" the toad stop his complains as he listen along with his master and the master's ward. Lord Sesshomaru listens intently wondering who might be singing.

"Rin thinks it's pretty but sad doesn't it? My lord" the young girl looked over to the beautiful demon. Lord Sesshomaru glances at the young girl for a few seconds until turning his attention back to the voice. He concluded that the owner was a female, who seem sad about something but ironically it also held a loving and caring manner the way it was presented.

'It's almost as if she's singing to a child, like a mother' he thought to himself. "Jaken, watch over Rin" he addressed to his vassal. He noticed by the time the song was about midway to finishing the girl had fallen asleep.
