I was listening to this song and it reminded me of Inuyasha. Mind you, I could probably connect anything to Inuyasha if I tried, but we'll ignore that. I quickly came up with a story to follow the song and here it is! Oh and by the way, I won't be putting the lyrics in every once in a while like a regular songfic, sorry. I find that annoying at times, it hinders the reading process. ^_~

Sympathy by the Goo Goo Dolls

Stranger than your sympathy

And this is my apology I cut myself from the inside out And all my fears have pushed you out I wished for things that I don't need All I wanted What I chase won't set me free All I wanted I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees Oh yeah everything's all wrong And yeah, everything's all wrong Yeah, where the hell did I think I was?

Stranger than your sympathy Take these things so I don't feel I cut myself from the inside out Now my head's been filled with doubt And it's hard to lead the life you chose All I wanted When all your luck's run out on you All I wanted And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true Oh yeah it's easy to forget And yeah when you choke on the regrets Yeah, who the hell did I think I was?

Stranger than your sympathy And all the thoughts you store for me And I'm not sure where I belong No where's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things I tried to make believe I was I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted All the talk and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me

Oh yeah Stranger than your sympathy Stranger than your sympathy

So now you have a general idea as to what the story is about. Okay, you probably have an extremely vague idea. Read on and find out!!

For those of you who read Not Hojou!, I am writing the last chapter right now, honest I am!! Sorry for taking *so* long, I've been having problems logging on the site. Anywho, I have almost all of this story written so I absolutely guarantee that I will have both done and finished soon!
