Song: Africa by ToTo

Uhm.. I just rather liked this song. ^^;; And I had it stuck in my head.. x.x;;; … Besides.. uhm… yeah!!! I promise next time I'll try to make it relate more to the story! It just thought that 'Africa' might've been a good backdrop song.

"Inuyasha! You eat salad like a pig!", cried Kagome, when she finally got Souta and Inuyasha to stop trying to eat salad more than the other and to their respective rooms. [Suppi: Souta to his room and Inuyasha to Kagome's.]

Inuyasha sighed contentedly, not really caring what Kagome was saying. Right now, though, he wanted to sleep.. deeply.

He looked up at her with his golden eyes and said, "Hey, Kagome?"

Kagome replied, some what annoyed, "Yes?"

"Do you think I can go to sleep now?"

"You're so lazy… Fine, but you sleep on the ground,  in a sleeping bag! My bed will crack if you lay down in it!", answered she.

"On the ground? Aww, man, can't I j-", began Inuyasha before he was hit in the face by a red sleeping bag.

//I hear the drums echoing tonight//
//But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation//

//She's coming in twelve-thirty flight//
//Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation//

"There."

Peeking out from the sleeping bag, which matched his clothes, Inuyasha said, "But Kagome, are you going to sleep on the bed?"

"Yes, I am", declared the Japanese girl.

"No fair, how come I can't and you can?"

"Because I'm lighter", was the simple reply.

"Oh", he said before getting hit in the face by another object, this time a pillow.

"Here's your pillow, now set up your bed if you want to sleep."

Inuyasha pondered this a moment and layed the sleeping bag out. He put the pillow at the top where he figured it belonged, then fumbled with the zipper a bit before struggling in it. The whole display was very silly, and Kagome tried really hard not to laugh at him. The half demon crawled all the way into the bag and turned around, sticking his head out at the top.

//It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you//
//There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do//
//I bless the rains down in Africa//
//Gonna take some time to do the things we never had//

"Cozy."

Kagome just nodded and grabbed a pair of pjs before heading into the bathroom.

+

When he got back she found Inuyasha waiting there with an expectant look on his face.

"What took you so long?", he demanded.

"I always take that long, Mr. Impatient…", said Kagome, feeling a little tired. 

She looked down at her watch. 8:55 PM. Her mom should be back soon. And Grandpa was still…

SNOOOORREEE!!

Uhm… yeah.

//I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
//

Suddenly, her thoughts were inturrupted by Inuyasha's voice, "Hey… Kagome?"

"What is it now, Inuyasha?", she replied as she climbed into her bed.

He stared at the ceiling for a moment then answered, "Can you tell me about my past?"

"Uhm.. I guess, some of it."

"Will you tell me now?"

"Inuyasha, it would take a long time, and I'm tired now…"

"You don't have to tell me all of it, just a little."

"Oh alright…", sighed Kagome, as she began her story.

//The wild dogs cry out in the night//
//As they grow restless longing for some solitary company//
//I know that I must do what's right//

She told him of when she first found him, pinned to the tree when he came out of the well and into Fuedal Japan and of when she saw him awakened as Mistress Centapide chased her.  Kagome also told him all about how he 'saved' her from the evil bug woman and how she believed him to be a hero.

When Kagome finally paused, she looked down and found Inuyasha asleep. Gee… had she really been that boring? She sighed again and closed her eyes, capturing the image of his peaceful, serene face…

+

Her breathing was slower and softer… Inuyasha's closed eyes flashed open and he looked around. Then, the half demon crawled out of the warm sleeping bag and walked quietly over to the window. Looking out,  he sighed some. He wondered if he would ever be the same again… He couldn't even remember what 'the same' was! It was so frusterating!

//Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti//
//I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become//

His gaze found the moon, and although it wasn't full, it was beautiful and beckoned to him. With one look at Kagome's sleeping form, he lept outside, shutting the window quietly behind him…

That night, some people thought they heard a wolf howling sadly at the moon.

//Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you…//
