Boulevard of Broken Dreams

A Day in the Life


They woke up early the next morning after a full afternoon of “fun and games”, and 12 hours of sleep. They were ready to face a new day.

“Did you sleep well Koi?” he asks

“Mm” she groans “I was with you, wasn’t I?”

“That you were” he chuckles “so I take it that you had a great night’s sleep”

“Hey don’t get a big head, dog boy” she says earning her a soft growl “hey, I’m so hungry”

“We haven’t really eaten the last couple of days, have we?” he ponders

“No we haven’t. You’ve been more like a rabbit than I dog, if you ask me” she says with a smile

“Keep it up and we won’t be eating right now either” he chuckles

“Abuse!! Neglect!” she says with a smile, feigning hurt

“Awww, poke that lip back in. Come on I’ll cook” he says rolling out of bed

“K” she says as she follows with a sheet wrapped around her naked form. “Hey puppy, put on some underwear.”

“Fine I’ll put on some pants, but keep the sheet, I like it.” He smiles


When they got downstairs, Inuyasha goes into the kitchen as Kagome walks to the iPod.

“Cool, you have the Beatles!!! Can I play them? Please?!” she pleads

“Go ahead, knock yourself out” he says laughing


Just as “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles begins, the door bell rang.

“I’ll get it” Inuyasha says heading to the door “it’s just Miroku”

“Inuyasha I know it’s early but I had to come talk to you” Miroku says

“Hey Miroku, how’s it going?” he says with a smile “good morning Sango”

“I’m not too good man, you have to see this… wait, and how you know Sango?” he asks confused

“Remember my dream girl?” Miroku nods “well Sango here is my new mate’s best friend, but I didn’t know that the two of you were dating”

“Oh” Miroku says with a dumbfounded look

“SANGO!!!!” a half naked Kagome shouts as she rushes past her mate

“Oh my God, Kagome, I haven’t heard from you in days. How are you?” Sango says hugging her

“I know, I’ve been busy, as I’m sure you can tell.” Kagome says blushing “what are you doing here?”

“Oh yeah, Miroku wanted to talk to Inuyasha about something. Anyway let’s go chat. I want details!”


With that, the girls leave two very confused men to go gossip and finish breakfast.

“What’s up man?” Inuyasha asks

“Oh, sorry I was distracted” Miroku says snapping out of his trance. “Have I ever told you how your choices of music are scary?”

“No, what’s wrong?” Inuyasha asks concerned


I read the news today oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph


“Well I opened the paper this morning and on the front page there was a story about a murder/suicide. Well I thought nothing of it that is until I saw the pictures of the victims” Miroku sighs “Man, you’re not going to like this.”

“Spit it out” Inuyasha says anxiously.


He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords


“Ok, man it was Onigumo. He and Kikyo were found last night in the car in the driveway at his house. He left a suicide note. But it seemed they were going somewhere fancy, got in a fight and he killed her. Sometime after, he wrote the note, and then killed himself.” Miroku explains

“Oh no, THAT BASTARD!!” he screams


I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on


“Inu, what’s wrong” Kagome says running from the kitchen with Sango in tow.

“It’s Kikyo, she’s dead” he says with tears in his eyes

“But she was just here yesterday. And I said such awful things to her” Kagome says as she starts to cry.

“Shh, Koi, it’s not your fault” he says growling softly trying to calm her “it was nothing you said. She didn’t die because you told her to. Her bastard of a boyfriend murdered her, then took the cowards way out and killed himself. And to think that today started off so good. Just me and my mate, now this”


Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream


“I’m so sorry Inuyasha to be the bearer of bad news” Miroku sighs “Do you want to know what the note said?”

“Yeah I do.”

“Ok, hear it goes:

‘To whoever reads this,

I, Onigumo Naraku, confess to the murder of Kikyo Metzuki. I’ve decided that since she can’t get over her mutt of an ex boyfriend and doesn’t want me, no one can have her ever again. And since I refuse to go to jail, my life will end as well.’

He goes on explaining how Kikyo was the love of his life, blah, blah, blah. I’m sorry” Miroku says remorsefully


I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on


Miroku walked over to his best friend, who was sitting with his mate on his lap. He crouches down in front of him and sighs heavily.

“Are you ok?” he asks

“I just can’t believe that bastard killed her over me. I didn’t want her” he sighs “I’ll be fine, I have all I need right here”

“Are you sure?” Inuyasha nods “ok we’ll get out of your way so you two can have some privacy. Let’s go Sango”

“Oh please, don’t go. Stay, have breakfast with us. I haven’t seen Sango in days” Kagome pleads

“That’s because you haven’t left the house in days” Sango laughs at a blushing Kagome

“Yeah, stay, company will be nice. We can celebrate the life of someone who fell in with the wrong person” Inuyasha says setting Kagome on her feet

“Ok, we’ll stay, but just for a little while. One of us had to go to the office today. And by your state of dress, it won’t be you.” Miroku says walking toward the kitchen


The small group heads into the kitchen for breakfast to laugh, talk, and mourn the loss of a life that at one time was so dear to Inuyasha.
