Boulevard of Broken Dreams

After about an hour of rest and relaxation, Inuyasha decides that Kikyo should have has enough time to move out all her stuff, and heads home.

It didn’t take long to get there since he took a more direct route and there was no traffic. When he pulled into the driveway, upon seeing Kikyo’s car, he knew he was in for an argument.

Getting out and getting into the house, he sniffs around to find her sitting in the living room on the couch.

“Why are you still here” Inuyasha sighs

“Yashie –“Kikyo starts but is cut off

“Don’t call me that, it’s not my name. I just tolerated it. Call me Inuyasha or nothing at all” he snaps

“Um… Inuyasha, can’t we work this out? I mean, I love you” she says with eyes down finding the carpet interesting.

“You didn’t love me when you were fucking my best friend” he states calmly.

“I’m really sorry. Really I am” she says as she starts to cry.

Getting bored with Kikyo and her whining, he gets up to turn on the radio to Papa Roach “Scars”, feeling that the song fits the mood.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
my weakness is that I care too much
and my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Inuyasha starts to bob his head to the music that’s drowning out Kikyo’s voice, if only for a moment, he walks to get a drink.

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

“Inuyasha?? Yashie, are you listening to me?? Yashie!!!!” Kikyo yells

“Bitch didn’t I tell your stupid ass not to call me that!!” he screams making her shrink in fear.

“But Inuyasha please listen to me, I didn’t mean it. I was drunk” she says trying to hold back tears.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
my weakness is that I care too much
and our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

“Kikyo, there is nothing you can say that can convince me to take you back” he says sitting down across the room with a vodka martini.

“But I don’t know what I’m going to do with out you” she says her tears flow swiftly.

“You’ll do the same thing you did before me. You’ll go home and get on with your life.” He states calmly.

“But Inuyasha!” she screams

“NO Kikyo, you fucked up!!” he yells loosing his cool “I was going to ask you to marry me. I wanted you to be my fucking wife, my mate, mother of my fucking pups!!”

Kikyo opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. At first glance Kikyo looked a bit like a goldfish out of water, opening and closing its mouth to gasp for air.

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
my weakness is that I care too much
and our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

“You wanted to marry me?” She finally says shocked

“Yeah I came home early to plan everything, I even bought the damn ring” he sighs picking up a bottle of tequila. “Not like it even matters anymore, it’s over”

“Please give me another chance” she pleads

“A woman like you would have driven a demon like my brother to drink, and he was stronger and more patient than I am. You’ve already got me started.” He says shaking his head.

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

“Now Kikyo, if you don’t mind; well even if you do, it’s getting late, I plan on getting drunk, and I still have to go and burn the bed” he says chugging a new bottle of tequila.

“Please, don’t drink like that baby, I don’t like” she begs turning her nose up

“First: don’t “baby” me. Second: I don’t care what you like or don’t like anymore. And third: GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!” he screams

Once again shrinking back in fear as the song fades out. Kikyo gets up to leave a very angry, very drunk hanyou to let off some well deserved steam.
