Yeah, this story doesn't contain any Inuyasha characters. But it is based heavily off of the ending Inuyasha theme that's been playing on t.v., "Come" by Namie Amura. I have that song on an old mix cd and I've always thought it told a story. And this, what I've written, is my own silly little version. Should I post the lyrics? Oh, and the italics in quotes are Lucy's thoughts. Yup, so enjoyyyy.

It was nearly the end of the day and Lucy had contented herself with gazing longingly out of the third-story classroom's window. A murky sky was littered with dark clouds floating surreptitiously behind tall grey buildings. The lights of the city glowed vivid against dull steel. Lucy tapped her foot with irritation and attempted to concentrate, but it was of little use. Thoughts of the outside appealed much more than trying to learn how to multiply and divide polynomials, whatever those were. She nonchalantly scanned the classroom and noted similar signs of impatience. She let out a small sigh and looked up once more, unintentionally locking eyes with Neil, a boy she often caught staring at her. She turned away quickly and felt her face smolder.

Neil had an intelligent bearing, a nice face, and smooth, perfect lips. Rather than feel flattered by his preoccupation with her, Lucy was troubled and confused. She would've normally found herself drawn and attracted to this boy, but his peculiar nature intimidated her, and well, everyone else. He didn't seem to keep any friends or girls near, and even teachers avoided speaking to him. Looking into his narrowed eyes made a person feel stupid and insignificant, which is why Lucy despised the way he was always looking at her.

She doodled absentmindedly and considered why he would have any reason to dislike her. She did recall a certain incident where she'd been hurrying down the hall and realized a friend behind her was trying to get her attention. She had turned around, said hello, and bumped straight into someone. Lucy twisted to see whom she'd run into and was staring directly into Neil's irate, narrowed eyes. She had mumbled an apology and sped off, deeply perturbed. She remembered wondering why he hadn't seen her coming.

"Could that be why he seems to dislike me so much? No… the angry ogling he appears to favor started before that. Hmm…" She thought of the occasions where he would hold the door open for her or perform some other trivial courtesy. He would, however, continue to glare at her during these incidents. It was almost as if he arranged the favors so he had more opportunities to leer at her.

"I think I can remember thanking him most of the time…so, what then? What have I ever done…?" She denied obsessing over this predicament to herself and resolved to make a conscious effort to forget about it. The bell then decides to ring shrilly enough to interrupt her thoughts. There is a mad scramble to the door, but Lucy decides to take her time, purely gleeful at the prospect of a rainy Friday afternoon.

She pulls her hood over her short brown hair and heads for the exit of the school. Under the awning outside, Lucy watches the steady fall of rain eagerly.

"This rain…it makes me so happy. I just want to…frolic! And look like an idiot!" First hastily confirming that there is no one in sight to witness the idiocy, she then dashes across the wet pavement to the tree-covered park past the street. She skipped through puddles and soaked in the downpour, all while humming 'Dancing with Myself', which is kind of a lame song. Laughing aloud, Lucy figured she probably looked like she was mentally challenged or 5-years-old, but,

"Eh, whatever. I do what I want." Grinning, she turned back to glance at the school. Perched under the awning was Neil, and he was already staring right at her. Eyes wide and burning with embarrassment, she slumped, with her back facing him, onto a wet stone bench nearby.

"Nuh-uh. Just when I decide to be an idiot and dispose myself to judgment, he's right there…It's weird. I was just thinking about him…" She sat, planning her next course of action and hoping that Neil would go away. Or hoping that he hadn't even seen her.

"Doubtful." She tried to slowly and inconspicuously peek at the intruder, Neil, but she caught that he was still looking at her. She would have quickly turned away if it weren't for the expression on his face. He was…smiling. He looked amused, and he seemed like he didn't mind her outburst of childish behavior, but rather, understood it. She was mildly stunned. It was a development. This boy, this person, had never so much as smiled at her or for her or because or her, and usually made it a point to glare. Her shock was only momentary, though. Lucy looked away and figured she should probably ignore whatever Neil's problem was.

"Yeah, that kid is just a tad bit strange. And he may or may not have some complaint about me." Lucy then pulled earphones from her bag and placed them in her ears. She selected a rain appropriate song and stood up. The city lights flickered off the wet, glossy steel and glowed even brighter then before. She started walking in the direction of her house, and then broke into a ceaseless run.

So, yeah! It's sort of Inuyasha-y… I mean, if you wanted a story to go along with the ending theme. I'll put up the other chapters I have if anyone wants me to. Reviews would be highly appreciated. I'll worship yooou!
