Chapter Ten
Kagome stared at her ceiling pondering the recent events. 'Ayame seems like a sweet enough girl. -What are you saying? She is trying to take your man! - my man.. didn't know that Inuyasha was my man. - UM YAH ! KAGOME YOU LOVE HIM. YOU EVEN SAID SO BEFORE YOU FELL UNCONSCIOUS. - ughh.. I did?' She sat there and thought some more, before continuing to argue with inner self, she thought back to when she thought she heard someone call out her name. 'Inuyasha... I love you. – ugh I did say that didnt I. - yah you did."
"Ugh" She moaned rolling out of bed slowly, making sure she didn't bang her casted leg too hard onto the floor.
It had been a week since she had seen or spoken to Inuyasha. He called her and left her messages wondering how she was, and to call him back. She never did. She was trying to get her feelings straight before she could confront him about the arranged marriage, and the supposed baby on the way.
"Unbelievable." Souta said on the phone in the next room. Kagome held her breath to hear better. She loved to nose in on her brothers conversations.
"He said that, really?" He laughed. "That Inuyasha is my idol."
Kagome coughed loudly, and covered her mouth quickly. She wasn't expecting that name to come out of her kid brother's mouth anytime in the near future.
Souta heard his sisters cough, and smiled to himself. He knew that she listened into his conversations that's why he had to make sure that she heard what was going on.
"That Inuyasha has guts, standing up to that girls parents, demanding to at least postpone the wedding till after the baby is born." Souta continued, he was talking to his buddy Shippo, who had the dish about it all, he worked for the Tokushima family after all, he heard a lot from around the house.
'Could he be talking about Ayame?' Kagome thought briefly, before leaning in closer.
"He doesn't believe it's his child? That's insane, well okay, talk to you later, bye." Souta hung up the phone, and laughed when he heard a thud. He peeked into his sisters room, only to see a blushing Kagome sprawled on the ground. "It's not nice to listen to other peoples conversations you know." He stated matter-o-factly.
Kagome just looked up at her little brother staring down at her. "Well .. uh .. sorry, I just can't help it sometimes." She nervously laughed.
"So I'm guessing you heard the whole thing about Inuyasha and that wolf-demon chick?" Souta asked, as he helped her up off the ground.
Kagome just looked at the spot she was just laying moments ago. "Yah."
"Isn't that good news? Why do you look so gloomy?" He asked poking her cheek.
Kagome just smiled the fakest smile she could. "Yah, but hes still getting married. And having a child Souta, that kinda thing doesn't just go away over night." She glanced down at the spot where Inuyasha had signed her cast. 'I found you' She sighed loudly.
"Yeah, bu-" He started, but Kagome cut him off early. "I need to get ready, Sango is coming to get me soon." She limped towards the bathroom, as best she could.
Souta sat there for a few more minutes, before sighing "She is so stubborn."
15 minutes later-
"Hey Souta, is Kags ready yet?" Sango asked politely as she entered the Higurashi household.
"Limpy is almost ready." He chuckled, "I found out that Inuyasha postponed the wedding. Kagome knows too, but she doesn't seem to see a happy point of view from that."
Sango sighed. "She is still down about the news huh, well I hope that hanging out with me today, gets her out of the funk she is in." She finished, just as Kagome was making her way down the stairs.
"You know that you always find a way to cheer me up Sango." Kagome laughed.
"Busted." Souta stated before leaving towards the kitchen.
Sango shook her head and smiled at her best friend who was wearing sweat pants, and a giant hoodie over top of a white tanktop. "Sup wangsta." She laughed, when she noticed that her one pantleg was hiked up to where her cast was.
Kagome laughed. "Sup daawg."
The two girls laughed as they said their goodbyes to the family, and made their way to Sango's car.
"Soo where are we headed today?" Kagome asked as she heard the click of her seatbelt.
Sango looked over and winked. "It's a surprise." She simply stated before departing.
Kagome was surfing the radio stations, before finding a song she recognized. Sango squealed, before raising the volume.
ohh...
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And...
Both Kagome and Sango sang the song louder then radio itself, horribly, but they were having fun.
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give ev'rything I own
Just to have you once again
Just to have you once again
Sango looked at her best friend, when they were at a stoplight. "Kagome, you know deep down that he is your other half."
I would give anything I own
Just to have you once again
I would give anything I own
Kagome looked out at the passing city streets. "There is nothing I can do about it Sango. He is getting married, sooner or later. And he is having a baby. He will be a father, to some wolf-demon's spawn."
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give ev'rything I own
Just to have you once again
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give ev'rything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give
Ev'rything, ev'rything I own
Ev'rything, ev'rything I own
Ev'rything, ev'rything I own
Ev'rything, ev'rything I own
Whoa
(Vanessa Hudgens: Everything I Own)
Sango turned right, down a street that Kagome recognized. "Well I guess we will just have to see what fate has in store for the two of you. But I believe that you will come to your senses soon enough." Sango finished before pulling into the driveway of Miroku's house.
"Miroku's house?" Kagome asked a little confused.
Sango laughed. "Pretty much, we have a surprise for you." she said pulling her cellphone out of her bag, sending a quick text. "Kay, lets go."
Kagome shook off this feeling of nervousness and made her way out of the car, and up the stairs to the front door. She heard someone playing guitar. 'Miroku doesnt own any instruments..nor does he play anything...oh no.'
Before it was too late, Sango had pushed her gently into the warm house. "We are here!" She called out to the two figures sitting on stools in the living room.
"Good morning Kags!" Miroku exclaimed making his way over to hug his bestfriend.
Kagome didn't even feel Miroku hug her, her eyes only met and saw golden ones, Inuyasha sat facing her with an expression on his face that was indescribable.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome whispered. She was trying so hard to fight the feelings that she felt for this man, she couldn't control herself, tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
Miroku heard her say Inuyasha, in the middle of their hug. "Actually I'm Miroku." He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.
Sango and Miroku, knew that they needed Inuyasha and Kagome to have some time together to talk, ever since that night of the show, Kagome had been avoiding Inuyasha with all she had. They just thought that they needed to be reminded of what they felt for eachother.
Kagome looked at Miroku, she just snapped back into reality. "Oh, Sorry, Hey Miroku! How have you been?" She smiled warmly at her friend. It really was a long time since she had seen Miroku.
"Oh you know, the same." He smiled, "Come on in. Join the party."
Sango shoved Kagome a little bit, causing her to lose her balance, but before she could hit the ground, She felt warmth. "Are you okay?" She heard Inuyasha ask.
She blushed a little, and responded with a soft, "Yes. Thanks."
Inuyasha blushed in response.
The four of them just sat there in an awkward silence for what seemed like hours.
Sango decided to take charge and change the mood. "So Kagome, write any more songs?"
Kagome took a sip of her water, "Yah actually, just finished one the other day. You wanna hear it?"
Inuyasha and Miroku looked at each other with looks of confusion, she kinda seemed eager to play this new song of hers. Sango didnt seem fazed by this, she only seemed excited to get her best friend back into the talking, and sharing mood.
"Um, yes please." She said with a giant smile on her face.
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, who had his guitar leaning against his stool. "May I borrow that?"
Inuyasha looked at what she was pointing at. "Sure," He passed his acoustic guitar towards the injured girl.
"You remember it off by heart?" Miroku questioned her.
"Silly Miroku, I know all my songs off by heart, just this one is extra special." She explained, glancing at Inuyasha before starting her melody.
Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain
'cause love won't set you free
Kagome closed her eyes. And thought about what makes her happy, she flash backed to the night that she spent at Inuyasha's. The dances they shared, the words that were spoken between the both of them.
I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be
So what if it hurts me?
So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge,
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I just trying to be happy
I just wanna be happy, yeah
Inuyasha looked at the girl expressing her feelings towards these words, she wanted to be happy. He wanted to be the one to give her that happiness. He decided there and then that nothing would stop him from doing just that. Hearing her voice so broken and sad, made him want to be a better person, and take that sadness out of her life. He wasn't going to let a wedding and a baby he didn't even intend to have, change his mind.
Holding on tightly
just can't let go
just trying to play my role
slowly disappear
But all these days
They feel like they're they're same
Just different faces
different place
Get me out of here
I can't stand by the side
Ooh, no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
my feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
don't care about all the pain in front of me
I'm just trying to be happy
Oh, happy
Oh
So any turns that I can't see
Like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything
As she continued to sing the lyrics, she came to the conclusion. She loved Inuyasha. She wont lose this fight. Sango was right. He was her other half, the person that made her want to be a better girl, She would indeed win this game that fate was playing with her.
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy
Happy
I just wanna be
Oh
I just wanna be
Happy.
(Leona Lewis - Happy)
As Kagome finished the song, she looked at the three pairs of eyes watching her, she found the golden ones, and whispered low enough for him to hear. "I will not lose you."
