Note: WOA!
You guys liked that chapter! I did too, but I wanted to make it longer, unfortunately if I did it would have been a cliff hanger.
But noooooooooo you guys didn't want a cliff hanger.
Feh too bad I didn't promise anything for this chapter.
Witko1: Thanks, I'm glad how you liked how I wove the song into the story. I musts say, it was completely perfect for the chapter. Don't worry, here's another chapter...and another song...
Santha: No, you rock! Hahaha Uh...writer had crossed my mind, but...I think writing is definately going to stay in my future. Honestly, this story is going to go on for...for until the final batlle with Naraku...which will be in...the future? hahaha I'll get back to you on that one
ShadowDragon: hahaha GLAD YOU LOVED IT!!!!
serenityrain2233: Yea I was thinking of stretching it for a few days, but the song...oh I don't know it stopped the eevil in me for a few brief seconds and I had to do it...otherwise it would have ended up as another cliff hanger, which I couldn't have! The end is here yet and more has yet to come...
InuxKag4eva222: Dorry worry...breathe...it's not over yet...OMG I was just sick (still am) and I watched every DVD in the house like 2 times. Just kidding...or am I...oh and It's cool to hear you say I'm not evil becasue I update, but I am evil for all those cliff hangers...bwahahahhaahhahahaahhah
Blackstona: I Hope I didn't scare you too bad. Smile!
Jaquire demoness: Oops, this chapter has a cliff hanger...next chapter wont be a cliffe hanger, ok?
This chapter has lots of fluff. Oh and there's two songs. I don't own either of them. Or Inuyasha.
Moment like this, Kelly Clarkson
Listen to your heart, Dht
The group was waiting for Inuyasha and Kagome back at the village.
Koga was seriously injured.
"I think it was would be wise if ye left, Koga." said Kaede. She spoke with wisdom, for the sake of Koga.
"I aint leavin' Kagome without sayin goodbye. Besides, I'm not that hurt. I can walk, see?" Koga picked himself off the mat, and tried to walk, but only stumbled and fell.
"Damn Katashi." he whipered.
"She's right, Koga." said Ginta. "We should probably bring you back."
"I'm fine!" Koga shot back.
"Uh...Koga...you can't even walk...we can come back when you're feeling better." said Hikkaku
"I aint goin no-where." Koga stated, and pointed his nose high into the air.
Hakkaku leaned to Ginta and whispered in his ear.
"You think that'll work?"
"If I know Koga, I think so." replied Hakkaku. Ginta nodded, and turned his head back to Koga.
"Alright Koga, we'll stay. I was only trying to make you go, 'cuz I didn't think you'd want Kagome to see you lookin so weak, but..." He was silent. Ginta and Hakkaku hoped this would work.
Koga looked himself over. 'Do I really look that bad?' he asked himself.
He nodded. Alright, let's go. But we'll be back here within the wekk, got it?" he demanded.
"Yea Koga."
"Of course."
Koga's two buddies carefully picked up, and headed towards the door.
"Tell Kagome, I'll be back for her." Koga told Miroku on his way out.
Miroku nodded. "I'll tell her."
And with that, Koga was gone.
Inuyasha walked back to the village, with Kagome at his side. He was happy. He had her now. He couldn't believe it. He actually had Kagome back. And there she was, once again, at his side.
It was getting drak, and he was anxious to get Kagome back to Kaede. She needed to rest. He could feel her leaning on him for support. He was happy to oblige his help.
They finally reached the end of the forrest, but they weren't out yet. Inuyasha stopped.
"Inuyasha, why did we stop?"
Inuyasha looked to his left, and there he saw the sacred tree, the one he was pinned to oh so many years ago. The tree that kept him sealed away from the world.
The tree that him and Kagome first met at.
He reached around her waist, and gathered her in his arms. Inuyasha lept into the tree. Branch by branch, until he found a nice sturdy branch near the top. It gave a clear view of the night sky.
"It's beautiful." she whispered. The stars really were beautiful they glowed, surrounding the moon, and it was completely breath taking.
"Yea...it is..." Inuyasha said. He looked down at Kagome.
"Hey Kagome..."
"Yes, Inuyasha?"
"Do you remember what you told me in your time a few days ago?"
"What do you mean?"
"Right...right before Katashi kidnapped you and took you through the well."
"Um...I..."
"You said you loved me."
"Oh."
"Did you mean it?"
"..."
"Did you?"
"...yea..." she whispered.
What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
"Kagome, I'm in love with you."
"...re...really?" she gulped. Was he telling the truth?
"Yea...I wanted to tell you before...but..." Inuyasha looked at Kagome. She looked...wierd.
"Kagome, are you alright?"
"Yea...it's just this feeling..."
Its almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you dont think Im crazy
When I tell your love is here and now.
"Your nor feeling well. Alright, I'll take you to Kaede's..." She grabbed his wrist, enabling him to stop.
"No. It's...a good feeling." She snuggled close to him, and he wrapped his arm around her.
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
"I've been in love with you for a long time." Inuyasha spoke. Kagome's heart siezed.
"Me too." she stated.
"I've been waiting a long time to tell you." He leaned down and kissed her again. She kissed him back, putting all her love for him into it.
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Kagome's eyes started to water. She couldn't believe what was happening.
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
some people wait a life time for a moment like this.
Inuyasha leaned bak, breaking their kiss. He looked into her eyes. "You are so beautiful." he breathed.
Everything changes but beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Kagome blushed, and Inuyasha blushed as well.
"Your not too bad yourself." she replied.
"Is this real?" he asked. "I feel like I will blink and It'll all be a part of my imagination."
"No. It's real. I hope that it's not a dream."
Well I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can't we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share
"Even if it was, I'm glad I'm with you in it."
"Since when did you become such a poet?"
"Feh. I'm not."
Kagome laughed. I know. Your my scarey, arrogant.."
"HEY!"
"Loving, protecting Inuyasha." she finished. That made him smile.
"Looks like your the poet." They both laughed.
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
He drew her into another kiss, and she was all too willing.
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Neither backed away. Both leaned in and deepened the kiss. Inuyasha grabbed her back, and pulled her forwar, gettin a better grip on her.
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Kagome leaned back, only to breathe. She asked Inuyasha, "This is real, isn't it? Your...not going to leave..."
"Kagome, I'll be by your side until the day I die. I'm not leaving you. Ever."
"Oh, Inuyasha." she leaned back to him into another kiss. She needed him more than ever.
Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
Inuyasha complied to her need. He brought her close, holding her, ensuring her he'd always be there.
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
for a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
"Kagome, I'll always be here to protect you. I...I love you."
"I love you too, Inuyasha."
"Then be mine. Be my wife. Be my mate."
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
"I'll be yours. I'll be your wife, your mate ."
For a moment like this
Inuyasha grabbed her, and flew down from the tree.
"You know what we have to do."
She nodded her head. To be his mate she had to...
...you know.
He took her deep into the forrest, him sniffing out any danger. He didn't smell any. He found an opening on the side of a clliffe.
"Perfect..."
"It was beautiful." she sobbed to herself.
Kagome was crying and sweating. She just had a nightmare. A terrible, terible nightmare. Kagome had been so happy this night, her dreams coming true.
But this dream made everything seem like she had taken the wrong path. She started to sob, but quietly. She didn't want to wake up Inuyasha.
She re-played her nightmare in her head...
She was in a field. She heard a scream. She knew that voice.
"Inuyasha!" she called out. In front of her, she saw a figure, leaning over, with a sword through his stomach. His eyes, etched with pain and worry, were wide open, staring into her eyes. Blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Inuyasha!" She fell next to him. He doubled over, falling to the ground, clutching his stomach.
"No!"
She looked in her hand, and she saw a sword, the sword Katashi gave to her. Blood coated the silver sword.
Inuyasha's blood.
"What...what have I done?" She dropped the sword.
"You...you didn't do...anything..." Blood leaked out of Inuyasha's mouth as he spoke.
"Inuyasha! Please, don't leave me. I'm sorry! I can't live with what I've done!"
"You...must...live..."
"No! Not without you!"
He looked into her eyes. Tears leaked down his cheeks.
"Promise me...promise me you'll live!"
"No, I-"
"Dammnit, Kagome! Listen to me! ...Just listen...please...promise me..."
"I...I..."
"Kagome, promise ...me that you'll..."
"I...I promise.." She chocked on her sobbs, her eyesight drowned with tears of her own.
He grabbed her face, and crashed his lips don upon hers.
"I...love...you..." he whispered into her mouth.
And then he fell to the ground, limp.
"INUYASHA! INUYASHA! NO! You promised! You promised you'd stay by my side...don't...you can't leave...me..."
He didn't move.
"Why...why did you make me promise..." she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Why..."
She started to cry again. The dream terrified her.
Was that what was to become of her. Was she destined to kill the man she loved.
I know theres something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
"No...I won't kill him."
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
She gathered her clothes, and silently put them abck on. She looked over to Inuyasha, he was still asleep.
'He must have been tired after...' She said to herself, and blushed. She looked down at his bare back. That's all she could see of him, since his head was covered by his white hair and the rest of him was covered by his red top. He had used that to cover them up when she fell asleep.
She bit back the tears forming again. Kagome didn't want to leave, but she had to. She had to keep from killing him.
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
"I...have to protect you." she whispered. Her tears started to stop. She couldn't be weak. Not now.
"It's the only way."
I dont know where youre going
And I dont know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
She walked out of the cave, and headed for the village. Before she left, she would go to the village, Kaede will tell Inuyasha goodbye for her. Goodbye, forever.
But then, where would she go?
"Anywhere but here."
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
Theyre swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
"I can't wake you, because you won't let me leave." she whispered as she traveled through the forrest.
"But I won't leave without an explanation. I'll tell Kaede to tell you. Please, forgive me."
She finally reached the end of the forrest. She passed through the trees, and towards the village.
"You'll be in my heart always."
Listen to your heart
When hes calling for you
Listen to your heart
Theres nothing else you can do
Kagome passed the huts, one by one, and held her tears. She found Kaede's hut, and entered.
She saw only Kaede. 'Thank goodness.'
I dont know where youre going
And I dont know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
"Kagome, it is good to see you."
"I don't have much time, before I have to leave. he will search for me."
"Who will?"
And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to mention
But you cant find the words
"Kaede, I had a terrible nightmare, in which I kill Inuyasha. Last night he made me his mate, and I awoke from this dream in tears. I can't afford to lose him, not by my own hand. I...I can't."
The tears started to fall again.
The scent of magic
The beauty thats been
When love was wilder than the wind
"I love him so much, but I have to leave. I won't kill him. I refuse."
"I understnad, Kagome. How long will you be gone?"
"I...I don't know. As long as I have to..."
"Where will ye go?"
Listen to your heart
When hes calling for you
Listen to your heart
Theres nothing else you can do
"Where my heart takes me."
"Is this the only way?"
"The only way I can think of. I have to get away, before he wakes up."
"I see."
"Please, Kaede, tell him. Don't let him think I don't love him. I love him more than life itself. "
"Will ye roam around here, or go back to your own time?"
"He'll find me there. I have to find a life here. Far away."
I dont know where youre going
And I dont know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
"May luck and a good life be awaiting ye."
"Without any of you, life won't be worth living, but I have to..."
"Aye, Kagome. We will miss ye."
"Tell everyone I ... I said goodbye. I have to go now. He'll notice I'm gone, and look for me."
She ran to Kaede, and embraced her.
"Tell him we can never be."
Listen to your heart...mm..mmm
And with that, she fled out of the door.
I dont know where youre going
And I dont know why
But listen to your heart
"Inuyasha!" screames as she fled away from the village.
"Good bye..." she whispered.
Before you tell him goodbye
Note: sniff sniff I have tears.
If I finish with the rest of my work, I'll do another chapter. Ahh another cliff hanger...
Why am I so evil?
