Inuyasha To Kagome:

"Why This Love Must Fail"

You only have to say the word

And I fall at your feet.

You always make me do good deeds

For everyone we meet.

And yet I love you all the same

Because you bring me food

And also 'cause my demon nose

Decided you smell good.

Oh, I'll admit to (secretly)

The use of your shampoo

Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful;

I'm ugly next to YOU...

I swear I wasn't peeking

When you stripped to bathe that night.

I just came 'cause you were shrieking

(Though I did enjoy the sight).

But I must tell you sadly that

Our burning love must fail:

Alas: I cannot doff my pants,

'Cause then you'd see my tail.
