He was sitting there...again. It seemed like every time she left, he found himself there again. In fact, it was every time. Kagome had gone back like she always had and Inuyasha sat next to her, watching her sleep. He always found himself there without even thinking. He was drawn to her by an unknown force, though he had a hunch to what that force was. It was love.


And I'd give up forever to touch you.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

He wanted to reach out his hand and stroke her heavenly smooth skin. She looked so innocent lying there. The beating of her heart and her steady breathing. He couldn't help but relax himself.

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be


She was as pure as they came, an angel of sorts. She was beautiful and radiant and had a glow that shone when she smiled. Inuyasha became on edge when her brows furrowed a moment in a state of confusion and then relaxed as she snuggled closer to her pillow.

And I don't want to go home right now

Home. He didn't want to go back to the past. He could sit here forever watching her. Her breathing and facial expressions eased his mind. It was much better than the loud friends he had back home. Besides, home is where the heart is, and his was right here, with Kagome.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life

He could smell her scent and almost taste her as he inhaled deeply. She had a tantalizing aroma, it smelled of a vanilla. But today it was mixed with the smell of flour. He smiled, she must have baked something to bring to the past again.

'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight


He sighed. He always ended leaving...but he always wished he had stayed a few more moments, not wanting to miss a single moment of being able to watch her without her knowing. When she woke up she would probably go see those friends of hers like that Hobo idiot. He could never be here when that happened, he was a worthless Hanyou and they would just shun away from him.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

He saddened at the thought of people's reaction to him. In the future humans would be afraid, like Kagome's mom was. Her mom was fine now but that doesn't mean everyone else would get used to him. As for the people in the past, it was just as bad. Seen as worthless by both races,demons and humans. But one person was different, actually there were two, but she had betrayed him. The woman lying before him would never do that, would she?

When every thing's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Their quest would eventually end. Would she leave him? He just wanted to stay with her, the person he knew understood him and accepted him for who and what he was. She meant everything to him. But sitting there without her comfort, led past memories to come rushing back to Inuyasha, memories filled with scorn from other people. He sighed and snuck back out the window. He ran along the tops of the tall buildings, a red blur in the night's shadows.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies

He had cried so many times over what people had said or done to him, he no longer could though. He had cried every last tear he could. No matter how much Kagome could dress him up to disguise him as a human, he couldn't stop being the Hanyou dog-demon he was, and therefore couldn't stay in her time.


When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

His life was surreal, almost unbelievable. The things he went through. Inuyasha felt a sear of pain and grasped his chest, he was still healing from a wound. All the running seemed to reopen it and he could feel the warm blood soak through the bandages and onto his fingertips. His blood. That was what had caused him the life of emotional pain. Inuyasha put pressure against the wound and stopped the bleeding, then he slowly made his way back to kagome's window.
He sat outside the closed window ad gazed at Kagome.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When every thing's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

After everything he had been through, all the disgusted glances directed at him, he was okay with it now. He didn't have to face it alone anymore because Kagome has always been there for him. He hopped down from the tree and made his way back to the well house. He stood by the edge of it and looked up to kagomes window once more.

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

'Kagome...' With that last drifting thought, Inuyasha jumped into the well to await his loves return.
