-Stars in a Pale Sky-

Summery: Kagome Ityusia had the most perfect life, caring friends, heart filled family, the perfect husband, and a frown never had to dared to cross her face.. Too bad her real life is deadly. Her friends don�t know her body is covered in bruises, they don�t know her husband beats her, and everything she says is a lie to mask up the truth. But when HE appears in her life, will she get her second chance in romance, or will she be buried six feet under?

A/N:Well I�m kind of sorry I haven�t updated, I�ve been amazingly busy with my final math exam (stupid teacher wanted EVERYONE to write it.. grrr), I�ve had to help re-plant my mums garden, take time to plan out this chapter, go to school awards and crap, but I made it, and you have your next chapter. I really like this story, it�s my first story with a quiet Kagome and beaten in the beginning and ass-kicking one in the end. *Smacks head* wasn�t suppose to tell you that part.. Oh well, enjoy! ^^; Oh oh, before I go I want to share something so utterly hilarious, that it made my best friend and I laugh ourselves till we ran to the public washrooms. *cackles*

(Quote: When I was younger I hated going to weddings... it seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.' They stopped that crap after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.)

*Wiping tears of laughter away* Go ahead, read on! *Starts laughing again*

Disclaimer: I honestly wonder if I�ll ever get InuYasha? *Sighs dreamily*

*Banging on closet door erupted her dreams*

*Bangs on door back* �SHUT THE %&#@ UP!�

*Smiles dreamily and sits in computer chair again*

Chapter Three: Our lives

Country music played around the four, outlining the room. People around them jugged down their drinks within seconds, using their arms to wipe their faces and then bang empty glasses on the counter again, demanding more. Some eating squeaked their cutlery together, making you cover your ears from the shrill sound, like nails running down a blackboard. The fowl and desirable odor of whiskey and rum filled the room, mixed with other concoctions such as people�s bad breath that sat beside you on the dusty chairs.

Kagome shuddered as a man walked by, smelling as if he hadn�t taken a shower in days. She still couldn�t believe Sango, Sango AND her friends! They brought her to a bar! She knew Kagome never drank- and why were they here anyway?! She only wanted to get a haircut and go back home and sit in her garden. She propped her elbow on the table and allowed her head to rest on, her eyes dimmed from her bangs and her nose twitching from the different smells.

It wasn�t that she hated being in bars, it was just that Ukaran knew she had only left the house for two hours for her haircut.. and she was tired and still sleepy and didn�t feel like giving in to his beatings later if she was late. Kagome shuddered; the feeling of someone watching her always coated her when she was somewhere where she wasn�t supposed to be. Like Ukaran�s copies watching her every move. Even though he made no evidence that she was being followed, or why she was, she knew from finding photo�s of herself in boxes in his home office and messages on the phone. Saying where she went, or pictures she had been.

The song in the background changed, and its lyrics went to something a little closer to the year of two thousand and four. Making her heart pound as she listened to the lyrics, the things she wanted were put in that song..

I wanna live I wanna leave I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go I wanna be I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show gotta say I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know if they got away my opportunities..

His eyes were unfocused, the smells, the music, the people, everything was clouding his nose and mind. But she was more the reason. The way her eyes were sparkly for the dark night, their unique color of cinnamon and mud brown swirled together with specks of gold in the middle. That was enough to make him growl. Even her fluid movements, as she walked in the bar, made him heal in place so he could memorize her.

And that stupid perverted friend of his knew too! He was grinning and patting him on the back for checking out the girl! If that wasn�t bad enough, Sango smacked him over the head.. and he wasn�t about to admit that girl had the strength to make him whimper.

It was completely insane. A Hanyou never found his soul mate this fast!

..Not that he�d mind it�

Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one just one

�Are you alright, Mr. Tensesiga?�

A sudden blush rushed to his cheeks, making him try to calm down. Thankful for the darkness of the room, and the loud music covering his loud panting, he muttered that he was �all right�. Her uncertainty plagued his nose, but he ignored it and tried focusing on the female waiter Miroku was talking to at the bar. Hey! Wasn�t he getting them drinks?

�MIROKU!�

A man leaning on the counter edge, a sweet smile on his face turned away from the teenager and shot a look at his friend a few tables away. He groaned, he was just asking this round-ass tight girl for her phone number, and his friend just ruined it. Miroku watched his lady friend walk away from him with a steamy look on her face, and then give him a warning growl to go away.

Stupid, stupid Hanyou.

Shaking his head in failure, he decided to go see what his friend wanted.

Walking over to the dim-lighted booth, Miroku�s shoulders sunk when he got Sango�s glare. She had fitted herself in the booth�s corner, InuYasha on one side, and Kagome on the other. Her arms were crossed, and her fingers were drumming against her upper arm.

Okay, Miroku knew he was in shit for doing something.. But with Sango�s angered face that turned him strait on-

�Lecher, we asked for drinks, and you said you�d grab them! No some slutty fifteen year olds ass!�

Okay, he was in shit.

I need to think I need to feed I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place I need a time cause I need to step outside that line
I'm gonna push I'm gonna pull open up the door..

�Miroku, your specimen in the Female race is revolting. How can you go for teenagers? You�re twenty-five for Kami-sama�s sake!� Growled Sango, her eyes facing away from him purposely.

Miroku�s self-esteem deflated. She was right, and he knew it. And for some insane reason, he didn�t understand why we still did go after those kinds of girls. For example Sango.. she.. she.. okay, the girl had no flaws, was beautiful, charming, tasteful, and amazing.. but he�d never get her. That was at least one reason why he went for younger women.

�Mr. Riget?� Said Kagome politely in her soft voice, almost soft enough to not be heard.

His head looked up to meet hers.

�Just call me Miroku.�

Kagome�s face hinted pink as she touched her cheek, �Oh. Okay, Miroku, would you like me to go grab the drinks instead-�

�No.� Said a gruff voice, �The hentai can get it himself.�

InuYasha glared at Miroku under the flashing dance lights.

Sango shifted in her seat at the word �hentai�, but ignored Miroku�s gaze. Standing beside the table in thought, the man ignored the world around him. His hair that was pulled into a rat-tail at his necks nape was loosening, and hairpieces soon flew in front of him face, crowning his left cheek.

InuYasha, growling in the back of his throat, had wrapped his arms in front of his waist and was tilting his head downwards. Miroku opened his mouth to say something, but stopped midway and went back to the bar to grab four glasses on the bar counter top.

Kagome seemed to be the only one aware of the pressure and deafening in the group. Sitting up and sliding out of her seat, which was saw by everyone �round her. Coughing lightly, her hand fisted at her mouth, the wife smiled shyly at them and muttered about going home early.

�I�ll come with you, Kagome.� Replied Sango with a soft tone.

Stepping out of the booth, the girls grabbed their coats on the tall coat hanger and left InuYasha by himself with silent �goodbye�s. His amber eyes wandered over to Kagome�s figure as she disappeared within the crowd of dancing bodies with Sango, and he kept his inhumanly purr�s to himself.

After a few minutes, the �night-ruining-lecher� came back over: their drinks in his arms. Setting them down, he noticed the girls were gone. He placed the two beers, one Island Long ice tea, and Mummy on the table with napkins under them.

�Did I miss something?� He asked, turning slightly towards InuYasha.

InuYasha looked blankly ahead oh him, where she was just sitting a minute ago. Before closing the beer bottle lip to his mouth, he muttered, �No, not at all..�

Miroku pushed his glass of beer over the table, letting it go forward with his fingers out of reach, then pulled it back again. A misty look and slight smile was on his face. InuYasha looked at him.

�And what the fuck is wrong with you?�

Miroku looked at him, his outstanding dark blue eyes sparkling.

InuYasha looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

Miroku slightly grinned, taking his glass in his hands.

�You know what I just realized?�

InuYasha nodded.

�I�m not wearing any socks.�

A loud smack was heard over the booming music and moving bodies, and the thud of someone hitting the floor. A man walked by with shimmering silver hair, slipping on his leather jacket while muttering things. People around stopped quickly to admire the man as he walked out the door, and then soon returned to their earlier subjects.

: :

Sango�s keys jingled as she placed the key in the lock and opened her apartment door. Stepping inside, she shut the door with her foot as someone small and furry curled around her other leg, purring loudly. Smiling, Sango placed her purse on the floor and picked up her kitten.

My other best friend, Sango mused.

Cuddling her friend in her arms, she let her hand slide against the wall until it found the light switch. The women�s apartment was dark from the night, but glowed from the lamps on the streets, the stars and the bright half moon. The only thing that seemed strange was that it was raining. No thunderclouds or windstorms, just rain softly pouring on the sidewalks and rooftops: Just enough to dampen her mind.

Walking over to a squishy light brown chair, her cat jumped onto the chair armrest and sat with her tail moving. Her kawaii yellow eyes glowed up at her, this all made Sango coo before she headed to her room to taker a shower. She wondered if she could drown herself in the shower from the night�s memories at the club.

: :

Her footsteps padded up her driveway, her arms were wrung around her waist protectively, and her hair was getting heavy with the rain. It wasn�t the best idea to wear a thin tank top and a pair of frilly blue jean shorts. The rain had clung onto her skin the whole walk home, since her car had broke down at the Hairdressers. Her arms and legs were covered with goose bumps, and she was shaking a little from the weather.

It was already night, that�s what made her nervous the most. Not from the though pun punks in alleys puffing on their smokes, or thugs that could kill her in this little hometown, but from Ukaran or what he could do to her. It was way past her due date at home, and he could possibly think she was running away.

But she had already tried that once.. and he found her.. and her voice was sore for months, her scalp hurt like liquor on a open cut. That was one of her most darkest memories.. That day.

Shaking away the thought, she noticed she was standing at her door, but no sounds were coming from the other side. Could he possibly be asleep? Taking steps down the stairs, she looked up at the house. All the lights were on. Maybe he was taking a shower..

Kagome was frightened to say the least as her hand slowly turned the door open, her eyes showed it. The door was unlocked, she noticed as she pushed it slowly forward.. Then it stopped it hit something.

Opening the door wider, letting the rainfall inside, her eyes widened as she picked up an empty liquor bottle. It�s outside was cracked, as if it had been dropped, and droplets of red, as if marker, were on the top. If she wasn�t breathing heavy yet, she sure was now. The door snapped shut behind her, making her jump. Standing, her hand shaking while holding the small Crown Royal Whiskey bottle, she let her foot forward. Something crinkled under her foot.

Her eyes shut, her puffs of air echoing in her head, and her body was making her feel dizzy. Swallowing hard, that it even echoed in the room, she bent down to her knees. Her legs hit the hardwood floor, and her hand scrambled to grab the piece of crumply material.

Her thin fingers pressed against floorboards as she rubbed the wrapper in her fingers, it�s crinkles glistening in the damp light. It was a smoke case wrapper. He started smoking again.. Last time he stopped because of the police.. why has he started up again?

Her left sandal fell to the floor as she pulled it off, and it made a dull �thunk� on the floor as the right followed in suit. Taking her wallet out of her back jean pocket, she placed it on the entrance table. Keeping her ears alert for him, she took notice to the water running in the pipes upstairs. He was taking a shower.

Kagome walked into the kitchen- and stepped on cigarette buds.

Her eyes widened..
: :

InuYasha stared at the sidewalk cracks, the lamplights softy glowing on it, making the dips stand out. His feet sounding hit the pavement with their own tune, the black sneakers damped with the water pouring down. The man�s breath was labored and the puffs of hot air, coming from his mouth, had formed fog in the chilly summer night breeze.

He had no idea why didn�t he just call a cab, maybe because he had the fear of bad smelling drivers, or nosy talkative ones. Either way, he left the bar with his mind made up and walked along the streets.

A flash of thunder made his thick amber eyes move to the left, into an alleyway next to a gray car. InuYasha ignored the shadows of people in them, smoking marijuana and talking in hushed voices. He was strong enough to not get hurt, or so he thought. Walking a little faster, the rain hitting down on him, and thunder filling his ears, he reached a store with a overhang over dry cement.

Ringing his hair, water droplets smashed to the ground.

The man peered out into the rain.

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day.

InuYasha mused that thought to himself, him being the only soul on 2nd Ave in Yoiska.

Or was he?

: :

Ukaran looked at her with a secretive smile, its evilness dripping into a wicked grin. His clothes were crinkled and stained with beer, and from her distance Kagome swore he smelt like garbage on a hot day. Looking at him over, she took notice to the bleeding cut above his lip and his distracting blood-shot eyes.

So that�s why there was blood on the bottle..

He had seated himself slump on the kitchen counter, his legs were crossed and a glowing cigarette lay between his fingers. They moved slowly, and he flicked off the piling ash off the smoke. Its tip was soon brought to his mouth and the air sucked itself in his toxic throat.

Ukaran breathed the smoke out through his nose.

�You�re late..�

�I�m sorry-�

*PUSH*

*BAM*

*SMACK*

Her body slammed backwards into the wall, and as she slid down the wall she heard the crack of her back from the sudden impact. Kagome looked up slowly and dizzily, looking into her husband�s fearful eyes. And without warning, he body slammed her again. Again his fist shot out at her, hitting her sore right shoulder. Jolts of pain ran down her spine as she cried out for someone to help her. Ukaran snarled at her, grabbed her and threw her onto the floor again.

Kagome�s head smacked against the floor and a dull buzz ran through her mind.

Her breathing slowed down and her cool gray eyes clouded with tears.

This can�t be happening.. He�s more violent then ever. I think I won�t make it...

Looking around her for something to fight back with, because if she didn�t soon enough he would.. he would actually and might even kill her..

Her blood-shot eyes furiously searched around the room, her left eye hidden and shut closed because of the punch. She looked at everything from the table�s legs, to the burnt out cigarettes on the floor and shiny things-

The glass whiskey bottle she had found, in her pocket, was covered with blood..

She was bleeding? Her hands reached for her shoulder, and a sticky and liquidly sound reached her echoing ears.. she was bleeding. Saving time, she whimpered for him to stop. Hoping it wouldn�t draw attention to her plan, as she gripped the whiskey bottle in her pocket tighter..

- -

The door slammed open, hitting against the wall as she took off down the stone steps. The gate painted white in front of her was glued with rain droplets and she felt them on her palm as she pushed the gate open and took off down the driveway. Looking back for a danger, she noticed how peaceful her house looked, the rain pouring down on it, the lights shinning through the window and music flowing through the still open windows.

Kagome knew this was far from homey and silent.

Turning on her heals again, pivoting around Ukaran�s car; the women nearly fell from the slippery rain-washed hill driveway. Her arms quickly regained her balance on her feet, and she took off down the street. The newly cut hair flowed in the wind behind her, and her loose pants and shirt followed in suit from the bagginess.

Tears started to run down her face, her chin began to shake and her eyes were frosted with warm tears. Running through the streets of the small town, her clothing sucking up the rain, and her feet becoming tired and red with pain. Kagome�s arms were moving restlessly as she ran away from her house on the block, her mind screaming at her to never stop because he could be following. This thought only made her cry harder, her eyes blinking and scrunching up in pain.

The Sukura tree�s danced in the slightly windy weather, their flowers holding on by threads as some petals fell to the ground. The street of the heart of the town were tunneled by these tree�s, giving it a homey and sweet look. Kagome started to slow down, her body not taking in air like it was suppose to, and her hands balled in fists released.

The rain pounded down on her as she fell to her knees on the cold road, thunder echoing the valley behind her. Open and tired red eyes focused on the sky above her, looking at the grayish black clouds and thunder sparking in it. Rivers of water washed by her, cold and frozen to the touch as it hit her skin.

Blood from her arm ran down her skin, and then dripped onto her clothing, staining them forever. How was she supposed to get out of this mess? Her brain was sore and humming with thoughts and plans. Ukaran was drunk though.. she could say he was throwing up and becoming delusional and she ran for help? That could work.. Head titled down, her now black dread lock hair and bangs covered her face.

Rain pushed through her cuts on her cheeks, merciless stinging her completely. Screaming in pain, Kagome�s voice rang through the night, waking those who were daydreaming.

Shivering as more tears fell, she felt a pair of warm arms circle her waist.

Cloudy eyes and sore, she slowly tilted her head sideways and looked at the man crouched down to her height beside her. His black jeans smoothed with a red blotchy liquid.. was her back cut too?

�It�s alright, I�m here Kagome. Sshh.�

Her heart sobbed as she crawled closer to his embrace, her fingers latched onto his shirt tugging on the material that was silky beneath her fingers. Bringing her maroon cheek to his toned chest, her heart opened and her tired eyes closed down her body. His hands rubbed her back as he whispered comforting nothingness in her ears, his hot breath caressing her ears where earrings once were.

The couple sat in the rain, held together with a simple thought of comfort for each other. His silver hair blended into her jet black knots, dark against light.

Kagome lifted her hand, letting it caress his face as he poured his honey-worried eyes down on her.

�Than- thank you, InuYasha..

A/N: Well, that�s chapter three folks. I�m sorry for the wait again, I had many things going on and I can�t spend my whole life in front of the computer either. I�m already working on the next chapter and I hope to have it sooner out before this one.
