Disclaimer: I don't own Souta. Or Inuyasha. Or 'I'm Just A Kid'. *pouts* And it stinks.

A/N: Hope you like it! This is my first song-fic, and I got the idea from listening to 'I'm Just a Kid' by Simple Plan, which is the song in the story.

"Bye Souta!"

The call came from downstairs, his sister's voice bouncing off the walls, following by a light click as the door closed. Kagome had left again. She was probably off to see Inuyasha and everyone. With a sigh, even though he knew she couldn't hear him, he whispered back,

"Bye, sis."

Pressing his head down into his plush pillow, he squeezed something tight in his hand. It was a picture of him and Kagome when they were smaller, running around the shrine, giggling, as grandpa had chased them for playing during his storytelling. If only it could have stayed that way. Now Kagome was hardly ever home, spending all of her time in the Feudal Era with Inuyasha and the gang.

* I woke up it was 7

Waited till 11

Just to figure out that no one would call

I think I got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them

What's another night all alone?

When you're spending everyday on your own

and here it goes *

Even when she came home, all she did was stay in her room, trying to finish her homework. The only time he saw her then was at meals, and she ate those like she was possessed before tearing upstairs to work again. Souta hardly ever got to talk to her. Feeling the locket imprint into his palm, he squeezed tighter as Kagome's words floated into his head, on his birthday, right before her 15th one. Right before she fell in to the Bone Eater's Well.

'I'll always be there for you, Souta. No matter what, never forget that.'

But how could she always be there, when she never was? She had promised. Had she forgotten?

* I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare

I'm just a kid; I know that it's not fair

Nobody cares, 'cause I'm alone and the world is Having more fun than me

Tonight *

No, she hadn't forgotten. She'd always be there. But now, it was always Kagome and Inuyasha would be there. Kagome and Inuyasha, Inuyasha and Kagome. They were never apart, whether they were fighting or hugging.

* And maybe when the night is dead

I'll crawl into my bed

I'm staring at these 4 walls again

I'll try to think about the last time

I had good time

Everyone's got somewhere to go

And they're gonna leave me here on my own

And here it goes *

'But will it ever be Souta, Kagome, and Inuyasha? Will I ever go to the Feudal Era with them?'

* What the hell is wrong with me?

Don't fit in with anybody

How did this happen to me?

Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep

And every night is the worst night ever *

'I want to help! I can, I'm old enough! Kagome doesn't have to leave me behind!'

* I'm just a kid*

'Next time will I be able to come, to?'

*Oh I'm just a kid*

"Can I come to?" it was a hoarse whisper into the night. * Tonight I'm all alone tonight *

A tear ran down Souta's cheek, rolling down his face.

* Nobody cares tonight *

A soft sound was heard at the windowsill, and there sat Inuyasha, his red fire rat kimono blowing gently on the breeze. His voice was so soft; it might not have even been there. But Souta swore he could hear him say,

"Maybe, kid. It wouldn't be too bad to have you as a brother-in-law, after all."

That was the last thing Souta heard before falling into a deep sleep.

* Cause I'm just a kid tonight *
