I'm staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
Well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love remains true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
Well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
I'm going home
With a sigh, he crumpled up the paper and threw it in the garbage can next to him. He couldn't believe he was doing this. This was such a bad idea… But there was no turning back now.
Beep, beep, beep!
Kagome quickly sat up as soon as her alarm went off. She couldn't believe it was Monday already. The weekend had gone by too fast… Snapping herself out of her thoughts, she reached over and turned her alarm off. Just like every morning, she immediately looked at her desk to make sure the journal was still there. She was always so paranoid that it was just going to disappear… It had been over a month since she found it, and she made sure not to let anything happen to it. Once she was sure it was still there, she got up and began to get dressed. She still wore the same old school outfit, no matter how hard her friends tried to convince her to update her wardrobe. She liked the outfit, and she refused to change it. Besides, it looked good on her. Once she was dressed, she went over to her desk, grabbed her hairbrush, and quickly brushed her hair. After that she put her shoes on, grabbed her back pack and looked around for her sweater. It had been raining a lot recently, and she didn't want to get soaked. When she finally located it, she grabbed it and started to go downstairs. She'd barely taken two steps out of her room before she turned around and quickly went back inside. She sighed a little and grabbed the journal. She didn't want to leave it here, and wasn't because of her usual paranoia. Having it close to her just made her feel better. It made her feel closer to him. Once she had her things, she went downstairs. She quickly ate some cereal, washed her dishes, put her sweater on, and headed out the door. She managed to get to the train before it really started to rain, but by the time the train reached the station near the school, it was pouring. When the doors opened she sprinted as fast as she could to the school. When she got there, she was only a little wet, much to her relief. She went to her locker and quickly grabbed the things she needed for the day. After that, she went to class. At lunch, Kagome and the others sat around and talked. They talked about their day so far, about the homework that they had, and other things like that. Then Ayame spoke up about something completely off topic.
"So we're all hanging out this weekend right?" She asked.
"Yep. That is, unless Kagome changed her mind." Sango replied.
"No, I'm still going…"
"Are you sure?" Kikyo asked.
"Yeah, didn't you used to spend a lot of time with him there?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah, but I'll be okay."
"Okay, if you're sure…" Sango said.
"I'm sure." Kagome replied. "I'll be fine guys. Really."
After reassuring her friends that she was fine, Kagome stared off into space while the others continued talking. On Saturday they were planning on going to the old park with the cherry tree to relax and hang out together. Even the boys were coming this time, but only because they'd all sworn up and down that they'd behave. Suddenly, the bell rang, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Crud, I'll see you guys later! I gotta get to my locker!" She said quickly as she grabbed her backpack and stood up.
"Okay, bye Kagome." Sango said.
The others all said bye and they all went to class.
School was almost over for the day. The day had been long and boring and Kagome was looking forward to going to home. She couldn't wait for the bell to ring… The clock just couldn't seem to tick fast enough. Five more minutes. Five more minutes and she'd be free. But five minutes had a tendency to feel more like an eternity at school. Especially on boring days like this… Finally, the bell rang and Kagome bolted out the door. Freedom at last! She went to her locker one last time to drop her books off and closed her locker. After making sure it was locked, she put her backpack back on and turned around.
She completely froze.
Sesshomaru was standing there, his back to her, unloading books into his old locker. Her heart began to race and tears of joy began sliding down her cheeks.
"S… Sessho…"
'You came back…'
