Songs From the Heart Chapter 1: Black Roses Red Behind these hazel eyes, an inuyasha fanfic

(Disclaimer OWN NOTHING!)

Kagome stood in a clearing near the well. She had already thrown her things into the well and was about to jump through when something stopped her. It wasn't the tears streaming down her face from InuYasha's betrayal, or the fact he had been kissing Kikyo when she found him, that stopped her. It was a rose. A bright beautiful rose. It had opened perfectly and was a bright blood red color.

Kagome walked over and picked it. A thorn pricked her finger. She gasped in pain and surprised and dropped it. The little drop of blood welled up but she paid it no mind as she picked the rose back up.

As soon as she touched it, however, it turned black. Not like it was dead just a midnight-black color. The little drop of blood hit the ground and more black roses sprouted. She picked a couple more and remembered a song she had heard a long time ago when she was thirteen. It had been her favorite song at the time and she hummed the tune before she started singing:

Can I ask you a question please

Promise you won't laugh at me

Honestly I'm standing here

Afraid I'll be betrayed.

As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it's in my dreams

So let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?

Drowning in my loneliness

How long must I hold my breath

So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea

I reach to the sky as the moon looks on

One last year has come and gone

It's time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red?

Cuz

I'm feelin like I'll blame it on love

Can you turn my black roses red?

Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame in on love

I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love

Unannounced her InuYasha was standing in the trees watching as Kagome looked up at the sky and back down at the roses. They looked weird to him. A closer inspection revealed that they were black. He pondered how that could be until Kagome started singing again.

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright

For once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together, but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out

For hating you, I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

No, I don't cry on the outside

Anymore...

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

She set the roses down and turned back to the well. "Goodbye." She whispered and jumped in for what InuYasha felt the last time.
