A/N: SONGFIC CHAPTER!! Sorry. Sometimes song fic's get on my nerves but this song is really perfect for this chapter. It's called Angel and it's by Amanda Perez. I put it in *'s so if you don't wanna read the lyrics then just skip it. This is a N/K fluff chapter. YES!! N/K has won! (But you knew that all along!) If you still wanna have a different ending then you'll have to e-mail me and change my mind. Believe me, you have time because this is going to be a long story.

-------------------- ------------------------------------- Kagome walked in search of Negoda. She gave a friendly nod to the villagers she passed. She had just recently changed her clothes and in return received a few winks and grins from the young male villagers. Even one from a young woman, but Kagome had ignored that. She wore a long pink silk kimono with small pictures of violets in the pattern. The (what is that strap thing around their waist called? I'll just call it a bow for now.) Bow was a lighter purple. When she walked it made a slight slush sound with her movements.

She then stopped abruptly. Something tingled in the back of her neck. She felt as if someone was watching her. Then she felt a strong tug pull her back. Instantly she turned around and punched but hit nothing but air. She knew she wasn't being paranoid or anything because her bow had come undone. Puzzled and a bit scared she looked around but found no one near. She finally shrugged it off and began trying to re-tie her bow.

"Need help?" she heard a voice. Paranoia made her spin around so fast that she felt dizzy. Though to her relief it was only Negoda. She nodded and he began tying her bow for her. When he finished she faced him. "You look stunning." Negoda said. Kagome heard the sincerity in his voice and slightly blushed. Her pink cheeks highlighted her features and outfit making her look more than stunning. Negoda felt as if his heart skipped a beat. He swallowed roughly. "Would you like to dance?" he asked. Kagome giggled and at first and Negoda took it as rejection.

"There's no music. The festival hasn't started yet." She said. Negoda smiled. He snapped his fingers and a slight breeze began to form. It swirled around the two in circles. It was a warm breeze and sent waves of comfort through Kagome's body. "What will wind do?" she asked. Negoda put a finger to her lips. "Listen." He whispered. Kagome obeyed. It took a few minutes but finally Kagome heard it. Music. Not just any music either. It was sweet and slow. The beat seemed to move with the gust of wind and would slow down and speed up again. Though that just made it even more exciting and unpredictable. It never stayed to one tempo.

It was beautiful and unworldly. Too sweet to ever be made by a human. Blues and classical seemed to dominate the other types of music that could be located in the wind. Negoda placed his hand on her thigh and held her hand in his other free one. Kagome put her free hand on his shoulder and they began to dance. Kagome felt as if nothing could shatter this moment. She felt safe with Negoda and she felt something else. Something that had once been there with another. Could it be love? Just like her love for Inuyasha? 'No. It could never be that.' She assured herself. She could only remember the pain from Inuyasha. He was her first love and he had turned her away. So instead of feeling the warmth and joy of love she only felt the cold and pain. She knew she could never do it again. She could never love another. She felt as if there was no one for her. That if she ever got close to another man that the outcome would only be pain. She promised herself to never again love.

Negoda on the other hand was in a trance. Kagome's hair, her outfit, her moves, her voice, just everything was beautiful about this woman. She was kind and funny and determined. Sweet and sexy and uncorrupted what so ever. The most unselfish person that Negoda had ever known. Inuyasha had filed him with anger. How could anyone turn down Kagome for someone who should not even be in this world? For someone who was cold and distant and stole the souls of others because she was trying to hold onto life when she and the souls she stole should be in the afterlife. Negoda knew that those souls would never rest until Kikyo was gone from this earth. He would have to deal with this sooner or later. Hopefully later. Because for now he was more than happy to be dancing with the beautiful mystical Kagome.

"Sing." Negoda whispered. Kagome looked surprised at first. "Nani? Why?" she asked. "I want to hear your beautiful voice." Was Negoda's reply. Kagome blushed again. She thought of what she could sing but the winds slow and sad mystical music only reminded her of having lost a love. She took a deep breath and sang:

* "It's been five months, since you went away.

Left without a word, and nothing to say.

When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul, but it wasn't good enough for you! No no.

So I ask god, God send me an angel from the heavens above. Send me an angel to heal my broken heart, for being in love.

Cuz all I do is cry. God send me angel to wipe the tears from my eyes.

And I know it might sound crazy, but after all that I still loved you. Now you wanna come back in my life, but now there's something that I have to do.

I have to tell the one that I once adored, that he can't have my love no more. My heart can't take no more lies, and my eyes are all out cries. So god.

God send me an angel from the heavens above. Send me an angel to heal my broken heart, for being in love.

Cuz all I do is cry. God send me angel to wipe the tears from my eyes.

Now you had me on my knees begging god please to send you back to me. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and I felt like I could not breathe.

And I, all I wanted to do was feel your touch and to give you all of my love but you took my love for granted, want my loving' now but you can't have it, oh god."*

Kagome stopped for a moment. She felt raindrops fall against her skin and a few seconds later it began to drizzle. She looked at Negoda but he said nor did nothing and the wind didn't stop playing it's music. She took another breath and sung again. Kagome was thankful for the rain. She had felt tears coming and didn't want to cry in front of anyone, especially Negoda. The rain would wash her tears away.

-------------------------- -------------------- -------------------------- ----------------------- ----------

Inuyasha awoke from the rain falling on his face. He hardly remembered what happened. Something about him and his mini me's.... Oh well. He rubbed his head and jumped into a tree for temporary protection. He thought about Kagome and finally came to a conclusion.

He knew that he truly loved this girl and that he wanted her to be happy. So he would be there for her in friendship and protect her from the corrupt ways of love. He'd hurt ANY man who would even think about hurting her and would earn her trust so that he could at least be involved in her life in some way. Then maybe they one day, they could be more then friends. Maybe......
