Falling Star
Kagome finished leaving a message on Ayame's cell and sighed.
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Kagome turned to find Inuyasha singing.
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now
Just the sound of a stomach grumbling interrupted him. "Hey Kags, could you grab me something to eat?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome rolled her eyes as she left her bedroom to go get him something from the kitchen. As she headed down the stairs, she began humming the song Inuyasha was singing. She was about to enter the kitchen the doorbell rang. Kagome sighed, "I'll get it."
She open the front door to find Kouga standing there. "Oh hey, Kouga. You looking for Inuyasha?"
Kouga felt his face heat up at the sight of her angelic smile. "No," he replied.
"Oh," Kagome's eyes widened a bit at that, "Then is there something else you want?"
Kouga's eyes widened as his brain went blank. Is there something else I want? Oh crap, I got this far and I don't even know what to say. What should I say? Oh I- Kouga's thought were cut off by Kagome's singing.
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
Kouga's ear pricked up at the sound of it. She wasn't half-bad.
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
Kagome was getting ready for the chorus when Kouga interrupted her.
"What song is that?"
"Her Diamonds by Rob Thomas," Kagome answered.
Kouga sighed, now he remembered. The mutt was singing it last time they met up. "You hear it on the radio or something?"
"No actually I...oh crap, Inuyasha! I actually came downstairs to get him something to eat, can you hurry this up?" Kagome replied, "He's really hungry and if I don't get it for him, chances are, no one will."
Kouga scowled. Damn mutt. "It's okay, Ayame just wanted something but I've forgotten now." Kouga turned around and headed back, kicking angrily at the ground as he did.
Kouga opened the door with a slam.
"She wasn't there, was she?" Shippo teased without looking up from his tabloids.
"She was only after an awkward moment of silence she told me to hurry up because she has to tend to muttface," Kouga seethed.
Shippo snickered, "I'm not sure, but I think that's even funnier."
"Shut up runt," Kouga snapped and as he walked by he smacked Shippo on the back of the head.
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
"They got that stupid song stuck in my head," Kouga cursed as he begrudgingly headed up the stairs.
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Kouga stared at Ayame's bedroom door.
"The very fact that you don't know the answer to that is part of the major problem."
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
"That and you're an insensitive, self-centered asshole."
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
Kouga sighed and gave into his conscience. He gently pushed open her door. "Ayame?"
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
Ayame seemed depressed as she stared out her window. She looked so lonely and forlorn. Abandoned. It seemed she was sitting in invisible rain. "Aya-"
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right
Kouga clamped his mouth shut and just watched her.
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
Kouga swallowed hard as Ayame began to sob quietly. He reached out a hand towards and contemplated taking a step inside. Inevitably, his hand fell back down and he stood rooted in his spot.
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Watching Ayame, Kouga felt odd. It made him feel so low, so bad. Was this his fault?
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see
Kouga fell to the ground. He struggled to keep his tears inside. Feeling so helpless like this, he didn't like it.
"Everyone took his side."
"No actually I...oh crap, Inuyasha! I actually came downstairs to get him something to eat, can you hurry this up?"
"Inuyasha!"
"Kagome isn't even your fan, she's his."
"I prefer Inuyasha's music."
"She kissed him."
"None of you are on my side?"
Kouga's heart pained him. The tears started to spill even more.
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Kouga turned away from his own pain to see Ayame's tears spilling out of her eyes. His eyes followed as her tears sparkled in the moonlight.
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Kouga swallowed his own pain, he clenched his fists. He stood up.
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
"You can't continually treat her that way and expect her to constantly support you. That's not how people work. People who don't get paid for it, anyways."
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
"I don't think you've noticed but there's actually one girl here who actually likes you. She's not Kagome."
Ayame was startled by Kouga's arms around her. But it probably had nothing to do with her and everything to do with Kagome.
"It's not fair," Kouga seethed.
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
Ayame took a sharp breath before the new onslaught of tears gushed out. It isn't fair. Kagome has all these guys swarming around her, all looking for her attention. Even the one guy she does like. It's not the same for me. I can't even get him to remember my name.
Kouga could smell a fresh set of tears coming from Ayame. He squeezed her tighter.
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She'll be all right
She'll be all right
Just not tonight
Kouga hugged her tightly as Ayame, without words, unleashed her sorrows.
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
I love this song...anyways I heard it an conceived a KougaxAyame chapter...sorta. Hoep you enjoyed it, more to come!
