Ok, this is my first fanfic, so please let me know what you think!

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark

I awoke slightly, though still half asleep. I took a deep breath before barely suppressing a hiss of pain. It felt like I had broken a few ribs. That cat demon was stronger than I thought.

Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms

I heard someone singing from beside me. It sounded like Kagome and I quickly took a breath through my nose to confirm that it was her. I dared not move. I didn't want her to stop singing.

Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel alone?

This was the first time I had heard her sing. Her voice was beautiful; maybe I could get her to sing more often.

The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

The melody that she sang seemed to float in the air around me. She sang softly and slowly, making me feel sleepy, but I couldn't go to sleep now.

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear

I wonder if she's singing about me, but that can't be true. I am in no way calm or any of those other things, though, it would be nice if she was singing about me. She probably isn't though, besides she still thinks I am in love with Kikyo. Hell, I thought I loved Kikyo, but I realize now that I just mistook her acceptance and her friendship as love. How was I supposed to know what love felt like? How could I know that the feeling of love could be so intense? I wouldn't have known that when I was with Kikyo because I wouldn't have known Kagome then.

It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier

If anything, Kagome had to be singing about herself, though I knew she wasn't vain enough to do that. To me, Kagome was the most beautiful person in the world, but I would never admit that aloud. That would just be way too mushy and Kagome would tell Sango who would tell Miroku who would in turn tell Shippo and then I would just die of humiliation. No, the best thing would be to keep my tough guy exterior. That always works. Actually, I'm starting to think Kagome can see through that, but that's okay, as long as she's the only one.

All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas

The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

That last line did seem like me. Kagome always tries to cheer me up when someone says something against half demons like me, but all I can think is, they're right. I don't belong with the demons or the humans. I'm in between, alone.

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact

So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass

I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky

You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

I kept listening to Kagome singing and I started to think about the future. Would Kagome stay with me? Would I be able to, one day, wake up to see her face every morning? God, that'd be heaven. I want her to always be with me. I love her so much, but I don't know when the battle with Naraku would end. Would we be able to defeat Naraku? Would everyone be alright after the final battle with Naraku? Would everyone be the same?

The singing had stopped and I slowly opened my eyes to see Kagome. She noticed me awaken and her eyes seemed to light up as she smiled down at me. Her smile instantly calmed my fears and I knew that everything would be okay, as long as Kagome was with me.
