**I Give, You Take**

Himiko: Chances are you probably have never heard this song before. I have. It's my favorite song. It goes well with Inuyasha, which I don't own, by the way. I also don't own the song 'I Give, You Take' by Maria. This is mostly Kagome's POV.

Kagome Higurashi lay on her bed, covered in a pink comforter with white ruffles on the end. On her bedroom floor was a boy, with silver hair, and dog ears of the same color. He wore a red kimono-style garb and had golden eyes. Kagome looked at him. "Inuyasha.." Inuyasha's ears perked. "What is it, Kagome?"

*******************************

If you cut, I will bleed,

bring me down to my knees

make me feel what I am is never good enough

can you help me understand

thought I made you a better man

Guess somehow another way

things just change

*******************************************

"What you did back there...I can't believe you." She pulled up her sleeve to reveal a large cut on her wrist, given to her by Inuyasha. "I don't think you were trying to protect me. I think you were after my shards of the Shikon Jewel. What is it with you? I thought I had changed you! I guess I was wrong."

*****************************************

It seems just like

a distant memory

that you used to

be good for me

but baby now it's clear

*************************************

"I remember that you ran toward that guy...but you were aimed for my hand, and you barely missed. I see what it's all about now."

*******************************************************

I give, you take

somehow it's gonna break

I pray for the strength

I hate to say

I know we can't go on this way

I give, you take

I know we're gonna break

it hurts my soul

I hate to say we can't go on this way

**********************************************************

Kagome broke into tears. "Inuyasha, how could you?" She clutched his red coat tightly. "It just can't go on like this!"

********************************************************

With your words

you pull me in

I always lose I just can't win

and though I see my heart is blind

it gives in every time

you've got me on constant repeat

I need a cure or a remedy

'cause if I stay there won't be

nothing left for me

****************************************************

"You always say you love me...but now I wonder if you really mean that. Because of that, I say that I love you, but I guess it's because I thought it was true. But I've got to stop falling for your little trick!"

*************************************************

It seems just like

a distant memory

that you used to

be good for me

but now it's clear

********************************************

"I thought you loved me. I thought you really loved me. I guess...it was all a lie. One big fat LIE!" She pushed Inuyasha into a bookcase. Then she stood up.

*******************************************************

I give, you take

somehow it's gonna break

I pray for the strength

I hate to say

I know we can't go on this way

I give, you take

I know we're gonna break

it hurts my soul

I hate to say we can't go on this way

**********************************************************

"Inuyasha, Kikyo was right! You're a liar and a traitor! I bet this all has to do with her, dosen't it?" Inuyasha backed into the bookcase Kagome pushed him into.

*************************************************

Now there's nothing left for us to say

and only bitterness remains

what we have is like a house of cards

and it's falling apart

now it's impossible to get it back

with the bridges that you've burned

I guess it's time to walk away

'cause now it's so clear

***********************************************

"Kagome, I--" Inuyasha was cut off by Kagome. "No. Not another word. Inuyasha, our bond is weak, and there's nothing we can do. I guess it's time to let go." The half-demon's golden eyes welled up with tears.

*******************************************************

I give, you take

somehow it's gonna break

I pray for the strength

I hate to say

I know we can't go on this way

I give, you take

I know we're gonna break

it hurts my soul

I hate to say we can't go on this way

**********************************************************

"Good-bye, Inuyasha. I never want to see you again."

******************************************

I hate to say we can't go on this way...

*****************************************

Himiko: Definitely not my best work. But the song is so sad, you have to hear it.
