Song by Bon Jovi ' Thank you for loving me'

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knew that day would come, the day when the Shikon no Tama would be completed and Naraku would be destroyed. I knew Kikyo would be avenged and all our troubles would be at rest. I also knew that with the Shikon jewel gone, Kagome would have to return to her time. I pushed this thought to the back of my mind and decided to deal with it when the time came. But when it did, I was completely unprepared for it. She left me Kikyo as her wish and walked away, taking a part of me with her.

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

I'm grateful she gave Kikyo and me a second chance at a love that was stolen from us. Still, things are not thing same without her. Kagome was the heart of the group, the one person who held us all together. Now without her, Shippo is now more pouty and resentful to Kikyo and me. Sango is more distant and doesn't talk that much anymore. I don't blame her though. She had been able to put Kohaku at rest but Kagome as no longer to talk to and confide in. Even the monk is less cheerful and doesn't try to grope Sango anymore, even thought they are together.

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

But the person effected the most by her absence was me. I never realized how much I needed her. How much I needed her scent when battles became too much for me. How much I needed her kindness and understanding to make me feel better. But must of all, I needed her to need me. I needed her to need my protection. It hurt me to know she had a different life on the other side of the well. A life without me. A life where I couldn't protect her, or be with her.

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

After I thought Kikyo had betrayed me I closed my heart back up and refused to let it control me again. I didn't think Kagome could open it up again. I didn't think I would become close to her or anyone for that matter. But in the end I became friends with her, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo. Heck even the old hag Keade is beginning to grow on me. Even when I went after Kikiyo to protect or save her Kagome was right there with me, even though it caused her heart pain. Even after I choose Kikyo over her she still stayed with me. I was such a fool for doing that to her, now she left me forever.

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

So many times I came to losing her, to death or to that damn wolf demon, Kouga. All the danger she put herself through, all the pain her heart felt when I went after Kikyo, through all of it she still stayed with me. Because she loved me. I didn't know what to do so I acted like I didn't care, but I think she saw through all that. I just didn't want her to get hurt, but closing my heart to her might have done more damage then all of our foes put together.

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

It been days since she left for her time and more then once I have found myself waiting by the well for her to come back. I knew however, this was an empty hope. Without the Shikon jewel she could never come back.

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

I stand here now with Kikyo, but something was wrong. I held her close in my arms, it feels so right but it doesn't quite seem to fit. I love her, so why do I feel this way?

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
Oh, when I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

" Because you love the girl, Inuyasha." She said in a soft voice. I looked down at her; she looked at me with sadness and realization in her dark brown eyes. " What are you talking about? I love you Kikyo." I answered, but the words didn't feel right coming from my mouth. She pulled away gently, and sad smile on her face, " No, you loved me. Now your heart has chosen another. Now I must let you go. I now see that Kagome truly does love you if she was willing to let you go." I didn't understand. " But Kikyo, she let me go because it was the right thing to do." Kikyo shook her head, " Inuyasha it was the right thing for her to do. But sooner or later you must realize there is a difference between the right thing, and the real thing." I was about to protest when the truth hit me. She was right, I was in love with Kagome. I fell in love with her the first day I saw her. How could I have been so blind? " Kikyo are you sure about this? I love Kagome but what about you?" She put her hand to my cheek, " I love you Inuyasha, and it I love you then I must let you go, now go, before you lose her all over again." I kissed her softly on the cheek and ran to the well, ' Kagome, please still love me.'

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh, for loving me
