(OK, well, this is finally done. THANK YOU!! Anyway, it took me forever to get this they way I wanted it to. Three rough drafts and a song repeated so many times I don't have to read the lyrics to know what he's saying. This is a songfic, however that is not the only thing I want you to know about this fan fiction. It is actually based off of a song. The night by Disturbed. Yea ... it's off their new album so... BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT. but that all, read and review please!)

"Do you have someone to protect?"

What has come over me
What madness taken hold of my heart
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To run upon my sight
So now recovering
Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, bringing the question
Why

Those were the last words my father said to me, before disappearing into the night. He transformed and ran down the path his heart drove him in. For centuries that question haunted me. Even in his grave, my father could still say things to keep me thinking on. But with that one question, I could feel my future change. That is a powerful feeling, knowing your future was altered before you could go out and make it your own.

For centuries I thought those words were completely useless, completely out of context in my life. For the only person I cared enough about to protect, was myself. I walked alone, I was alone, and I was a lone predator. I needed no one. And yet, the question still haunted me.

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

"Do you have someone to protect?"

I turned around, my arms sliding into the sleeves of my shirt. I folded it into place and looked down at the bed. She lay peacefully, the moonlight shining around her, as though it was highlighting her. Her tousled hair fanned around her, her pale and beautiful face smooth with sleep's cress's. With my shirt tucked in, I reached out a clawed hand, and with the back of my fingers, I ran them softly down the side of her face. My sweet, sweet Kagome. My life, my love, my world.

"Do you have someone to protect?"

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

My father's voice asked the question again, feeling my heart break, feeling it beat after beat for the life of this woman. I smiled a soft, small smile as I answered his question.

This self discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
This serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away
To piece from the sight
So much felicity
Downgrade and taking hold of my head
Leading me away from hibernation
Strong and I'm afraid
Remember the question why

"Yes, father, I do have someone to protect."

I whispered as I placed a kiss on her forehead. She mumbled and reached out. She, instead of reaching me, grabbed my pillow and sunk back into slumber.

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it away
There can be no better way of knowing

I turned and left the room. I left the hallway, and I left my home. I left her. I walked into the forest, into the shadows. I walked into the darkness, facing all my fears, everything and everyone who wanted me dead. Who waned her dead. I kept walking, disappearing into the night, like my father had down over two centuries ago. I stopped at a wall fill with shadows, gleaming eyes, and wicked smiles. I briefly thought about Kagome, how she would react to finding me gone. But then, she knew I would never leave her. For I will always protect her, even after death.

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

So I stared into the night, at the gleaming eyes, the wicked smiles and gave one of my own, following in my father's same path.

Give in to the night

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

Night x3
Give into the Night
Night x3
Give into the Night x2
