'How did it end up like this?' Sango thought to herself as she looked out the window of InuYasha's car. She was sitting in the passenger's seat and InuYasha was driving. They left Ayame Café a while ago. They had gone there for a band meeting and left after it was over. It was snowing outside and InuYasha didn't want to get stuck at the Ayame Café for the night. The whole car ride so far was silent, except for the radio, and it was killing Sango. 'It seems like we both don't have much to talk about lately.' She thought to herself and sighed.
Sango kept looking out the window and started to sing quietly to herself.
We're driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue
And right now radio's all that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left, it's so overdue
It's cold outside but between us it's worse in here
Sango looked over at InuYasha and saw he was lost in his own thoughts and on driving them home safely.
Sango sighed and sang in her head.
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts
She turned off the radio and InuYasha was out of his thoughts and looked at her.
"Why'd you turn off the radio?" He asked her.
Sango took a deep breath and spoke/sang.
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
"Sango…" InuYasha started, but she cut him off. She knew he was going to tell her things would get better, if they tried harder.
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
InuYasha stared at Sango and watched her for a moment, before looking back on the road. He would take quick glances at her, but would look back at the road. (He didn't want them to get into an accident or anything.) She had never acted this way before. Sure, he knew they were getting into some fights, which never really happened before…Okay they were fighting constantly. It was over the stupidest stuff too! They made up shortly after the fights, sure, but they would have a fight shortly after they made up! InuYasha really didn't want to break the engagement off with Sango, he loved her! But he was so confused. 'Since when do we fight all the time? I never fight with Sango!' InuYasha thought.
Sango paused for a second and continued.
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
As she was singing she noticed InuYasha looked really sad and she hated seeing him this way.
I just can't take your tears
Sango looked back out the window; she didn't want to see his face.
I hate this part right here
InuYasha parked his car in their driveway, since they were home already, and looked over at Sango. "Sango…" He said as he made her look at him. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed only like a second, but was really a couple minutes. "Sango, I promise I will love you forever and no one will break us apart. I know everything is a little different right now, but it will all go back to normal soon. So please, stay with me and help us get through this."
"InuYasha…" Sango started, but InuYasha cut her off.
"I love you Sango." InuYasha said as he kissed her on the lips passionately. Sango kissed him back with just as much passion as he had put in the kiss. After the kiss ended, Sango spoke.
"I love you too InuYasha." They both got out of the car and walked into their house hand in hand.
::A week later::
Sango sighed. It was the same again; she and InuYasha had a fight earlier that day about something stupid. She knew it was over something stupid, because she had forgotten what it was they fought over. 'Was it over what we were going to have for breakfast or…Ah! I can't remember!' She thought in her head and sighed again.
InuYasha was in the study room, where he went after they had a fight, and Sango was sitting on the couch, in the living room, flipping through the channels to find that nothing was on.
Every day, seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
'Couldn't we get along like a normal couple?' Sango thought as she looked at the time, 11:56 p.m. 'I better go to bed. I have that breakfast thing with Ayame tomorrow.' She thought as she turned off the TV. She got off of the couch and was about to head upstairs when she passed the study room. She stopped in front of it. 'Should I tell him goodnight, or say I'm going to bed or say something to him?' She asked herself in her head.
Finally after debating which she should do she opened the door to the study room and peeked in. She saw InuYasha sitting by the window, looking out. She watched him for a moment before saying, "I'm going to bed. It's almost 12 am and I have that thing with Ayame tomorrow." InuYasha didn't turn around to look at her so she continued. "I'm sorry about the fight early…good night." Sango closed the door and went upstairs to their bedroom. She was already in her pajamas, so she climbed into bed and sighed. She closed her eyes and tried to make sleep come fast when she felt someone lay down beside her. Then she felt arms wrap around her.
"I'm sorry too. I love you Sango." InuYasha whispered into her ear. Sango sat up and InuYasha's arms weren't around her anymore.
"I gotta talk to you now, 'fore we go to sleep," Sango said looking at InuYasha, who sat up. 'But will we sleep, once I tell you what's hurting me?' Sango thought to herself.
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts
InuYasha looked at Sango and waited for her to speak. Sango got her courage together and spoke/sang.
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
InuYasha was about to speak, but Sango cut him off.
I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing's wrong
But there is no more time for lies
'Cause I see sunset in your eyes
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
That I gotta do it
"InuYasha…" Sango started. "I think it's best if we separate for a little while."
"No, Sango…we can work this out!" InuYasha started but Sango cut him off.
"I'm going to be staying with Ayame for awhile."
"…when do you leave?" InuYasha asked quietly.
"Tomorrow," Sango said. InuYasha was about to try to get her to change her mind, but she spoke/sang again.
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
The two went to sleep without another word.
The next morning, at nine am, Sango was already up and ready. She had her bags packed and in her car already. She was standing near the door ready to leave. InuYasha was standing a few feet away from her. They were both staring into each other's eyes, sadness filled in both, but also understanding. They both knew this was for the best, but still neither wanted to live the other.
"Do you really have to go?" InuYasha asked. Sango quietly spoke/sang.
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it, oh
Sango and InuYasha silently walked to Sango's car, her stuff was already in it. They stood next to it for awhile, just staring into each other's eyes. Sango broke the silence.
I hate this part right here
InuYasha hugged her tightly, and she returned the hug. He whispered quietly in her ear.
I hate this part right here
Sango felt tears start forming in her eyes. She really didn't want to leave InuYasha, but she knew it was for the best.
I just can't take these tears
A few tears started to roll down Sango's face as she finished speaking/singing.
I hate this part right here
The two broke apart and stared into each other's eyes for just a moment, before Sango got into her car and drove away.
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or the song.
