Okay, the first poem is my own but the second poem is by seshysgodestris my friend and all due praise should be directed towards her for the poem. ENJOY :),
She made her way back to the hut, quietly made it over to her sleeping bag and snuggled up into it just in time because as soon as she fell asleep Inuyasha woke up and shook his head in an effort to make the sleepiness go away so he could make everyone wake up and not show that he was still in need of sleep just like they were, he yawned one last time then stood up to look around at everyone sleeping. He grinned then all of a sudden he bellowed
"DEMON!"
Causing everything in the vicinity to jump, and making everyone very effectively wake up mumbling curses at him as they did get up though. That didn't faze him though he had his bit of amusement for this day so he was pleased with himself, even though he was acting like a two year-old.
Kagome didn't even bother opening her eyes because she knew that there was no demon and Inuyasha was just being the ass that he usually was. She was made to get up though because Shippo decided to jump on her effectively causing her to open her eyes making any chances of going back to sleep fade away.
She stood up groggily with Shippo sitting on her shoulder, she turned to Inuyasha and glared groaning out all her complaints at him he just looked at her with mirth basically smirking at her with his eyes alone. She saw that and that made her glare at him even harder knowing that he was laughing at her in his head, she huffed, grabbed her bag, and started walking to the hot spring.
Grumbling to herself about how stupid Inuyasha was she never noticed a certain demon following her.
When she arrived at the hot springs she set her bag down and pulled her notebook out once again she was still half-asleep but she needed to write something before her emotions took control.
"something is wrong with me
I'm always ready to lash out
when in reality, I have no reason to
my mind twists whatever compliments I receive
into insults meant to injure in the deepest way
when in reality, there not supposed to.
I'm my own worst enemy
I tear myself down,
so no one else, gets the chance to
I think no one wants to be around me.
when in reality, they do.
these words that are being written down
are my outcry to show
what is really happening
in reality"
all the words that she was writing just came naturally to her, it's like they flowed right from her mind through her pen to the paper with no stops.
She was angry at herself because even though she wanted to show them how strong she was she couldn't muster the courage to do so quite yet.
She heaved a sigh knowing that for the moment she wasn't ready to blow, letting all her emotions have free reign, for the moment everyone would think that nothing was wrong with her. She stood up and then laid her notebook on the rock so she wouldn't get it wet by taking a bath.
That is when he made his move, as soon as she ducked under the water to get her hair wet he quickly grabbed her notebook.
He sat in a tree and began reading everything she had written his eyes becoming wide as he took in the meaning that was infused within every single word, showing him that he wasn't alone.
As he finished reading he couldn't help but think back to one of the verses that he liked the most, letting the words take him away.
"why am I the way I am, who am I over all,
I try to tell myself that I'm good, even though I know it's a lie.
I try to be who I'm not, I try to be who I am.
I can't figure out who I am or where I'm supposed to be in the closet
full of costumes
why do I try when I know ill fail,
why do I force light into a black hole when everyone knows it's impossible.
I look for a light in this world of darkness, but all I can find is a speck
of shining dust a trillion miles away,
I try to go forwards but end up going back.
why should anybody else care. all I am is a useless piece of trash that
nobody cares about.
I try to cry for help but nobody listens, they just brush me off like lint on
a prom tux, they only pay heed when they want to use me or if I'm in they're
way"
those words rang true to what he had always felt, he knew that he and this girl had more in -common than anyone would believe.
He decided to place her notebook back to where it was, and leave her be for the moment, he would approach her eventually.
After an hour in the hot springs she decided she resembled a prune enough, and it was time to get out. When she was done getting dressed she turned towards her notebook, finding it to be not in the same place on the rock that she had left it on
She started to get nervous, hoping that no one read her poems, she looked around, then hastily picked up her notebook and her bag.
She headed back to the village knowing that Inuyasha was going to yell at her for taking so long at the hot springs.
