A/N: Well this fanfic is based on a song I found in the back of a book and instead of telling everyone to read it I decided to write a fanfic to go with the song. It will be rather short and this fanfic has nothing to do with the story it came from.

This song is from Kagome's point of view to Inuyasha. If you don't get it then review and tell me and I'll put up a chapter for explanations.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha (or do I? DON'T SHOOT ME! I DON'T OWN, I DON'T OWN!) And I don't own the song 'Hard Love'. That one belongs to Bob Frank so thanks for letting me use, even if it might not be ok with you! ;D

Chapter 1

Confession

I remember growing up like it was only yesterday,

Mom and Daddy tried their best to guide me on my way.

But the hard times and the liquor drove the easy live away,

And the only love I knew about was hard love.

It was hard love, every hour of the day,

When Christmas to my birthday was a million years away,

And the fear that came between them drove the tears into my play,

There was love in Daddy's house but it was hard love.

As Kagome sang she looked out into the audience, well, actually she looked to the rafters. She saw a shadow in the corner near the ceiling and she knew right away that it was Inuyasha. She smiled because he came. She didn't think he would.

"Inuyasha, can you come here please?", Kagome called. He landed right in front of her not long after.

"What do you want wench?", he asked in his usual gruff voice but Kagome could see the kindness and the worry and every other emotion he held for her and only her that he was trying to hide.

"I wanted to ask you to come to my time", she replied in her sweetest, yet believable, voice.

"Feh, what for?", he growled. "Don't you remember that we have a job to do?"

"Yes, I remember", she said, trying to keep her cool. "It will only be for a little while though"

"What will only be for a little while?"

"My performance"

"Your what?". Confusion was clearly written on his face.

"My performance. It's at my school. I will only be gone for a day, two at the most and I'm going weather you come with me or not!"

"Feh, I ain't gonna waste my time with something like that!"

"But you don't even know what it is yet!" Silence. "Will you at least think about it?" Still silence. She sighed and went back through the well.

And I recall the gentle courtesy you gave me as I tried

To dissemble with politeness all the love I felt inside.

And for every song of laughter was another song that cried,

This ain't no easy weekend, this is hard love.

It was hard love, every step of the way,

Hard to be so close to you, so hard to turn away,

And when all the stars and sentimental songs dissolved today,

There was nothing left to sing about but hard love.

So I loved you for your courage and your gentle sense of shame,

And I loved you for your laughter and your language and your name,

I knew it was impossible but I loved you just the same,

Though the only love I gave to you was hard love.

Inuyasha sat in the rafters of Kagome's gym listening to her sing. 'What's she want me here for? I've heard her sing before, so what's so special about now?' He asked himself. And despite his thoughts he stayed and watched his secret love beneath him.

It was hard love, it was hard on you I know,

When the only love I gave to you was love I couldn't show.

You forgave the heart that loved you as your lover turned to go,

Leaving nothing but the memory of hard love.

When Kagome sang that verse he was suddenly reminded of when she was so kind to him even when he was being cruel in return. She has not yet left his side and he silently prayed that she never would. But he was also reminded of something else, something painful. '"You forgave the heart that loved you as your lover turned to go, Leaving nothing but the memory of hard love." That's what happened between me and Kikyo. He thought sadly. 'Kikyo.'

So I'm standing in this phone booth with a dollar and a dime,

Wondering what to say to you to ease your troubled mind,

For the Lord's cross might redeem us, but our own just wastes our time,

And to tell the two apart is always hard, love.

At this point Kagome began to cry slightly. Even if it was only one or two tears, it didn't get past Inuyasha. Luckily he knew better that to jump down there and tell her to stop crying. He would just have to wait. Kagome knew what was coming next in the song and she wanted Inuyasha to hear it, to understand it, to feel it's meaning. She continued.

So I'll tell you that I love you even though I'm far away,

And I'll tell you how to change me as I live from day to day,

How you help me to except myself and I won't forget to say,

Love is never wasted, even when it's hard love.

Yes it's hard love, but it's love all the same,

Not the stuff of fantasy but more than just a game.

And the only kind of miracle that's worthy of the name,

For the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love.

She finished the song and listened to the applause. Then she took a quick bow and left the stage and as soon as she was out of everyone's sight she began to run.

A/N: So, what did you think. I hope you like because it took a hour and a half because my shoulders hurt and my computer was acting up. I'm not saying you have to like it but I hope you do.

Please review!
