"Two years...She's been like this for TWO FUCKING YEARS and you two haven't done anything to

bring her out of this stupour!" a boy around the age of 15 screamed at his mother and Grandfather

while pointing at a dark haired girl dressed all in black that was pointedly staring a hole in the

back of his head as if to say 'I'm right here you know. I CAN hear you!'

"Souta, watch your mouth! You will not speak to your mother or myself in such a manner! Now

sit on the couch next to your sister and apologize." his Grandfather yelled putting a comforting

hand on his daughters shoulder as her face turned upset.

"Grandpa, Mama, I'm sorry I've reacted like this but she's been like this since she got back two

years ago. Don't you think you should have done something to stop Kagome's depression?" Souta

asked, his voice still holding bite to it as he slumped next to his goth-like sister.

"And what would I have told therapists? 'Hi my name is Higurashi Kagome and I just got seprated

from the love of my life who happens to be half dog-demon and lives 500 yrs in the past. Oh, how

did I get to meet him you ask? I feel through the well at my Shrine and ended up pulling him from

a sacred tree where the woman I'm a reincarnate had pinned him.' Oh yea I'd end up in a looney

bin quiet quickly." Kagome said sarcastically, not at all her old happy-go-lucky self.

"Higurashi Kagome! You do not speak to your brother or anyone else for that matter! We know you

miss Inuyasha and your other friends from the past but we can't get you back. I'm sorry that this

happened but SNAP out of it!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed having lost all patience with her daughter.

"NO! I will not snap out of it! Do you have any idea what its like to find out the one you love

is in love with you as well and just as your embracing the Shikon no Tama is completed and then

throws you through time again so you will never see anyone of your friends or loved ones again?!

NO YOU DON'T! ITS UNBERABLE MOM! ITS BEEN KILLING ME INSIDE WHEN I SEE ALL MY FRIENDS FROM THIS

TIME WITH THEIR BOYFRIENDS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THEY CAN THINK ABOUT IS HOW TO DO THEIR

HAIR FOR THEIR DATE!! Mom just let me live my life and stop complaining about it! I haven't done

anything to any of you to deserve this fucking pain! I never did anything to ANYONE to deserve

the fucking pain I go through and went through!" Kagome shouted as she went over to the door and

pulled on her black trench coat and combats. "I'll be at the club." she called almost quietly

and the family heard as the door slammed shut as Kagome left.

"My little girl...I didn't know it was that much more different than I thought." Mrs. Higurashi

mumbled and her father embraced her as she started crying for fear of her daughter.

~*~Meanwhile~*~

"Inuyasha, don't you think its about time you searched for her?" Miroku asked his friend, or to be

more precise, Miroku's reincarnate that had all his memories.

"Shut it lecher. I'm on my way to find her right now. Five-hundred and two years. I've known

where she is for two years, but I couldn't face her. Not when I've been there for the whole time.

Just as 'Hobo.'" Inuyasha griped as he used kitsune magic to make himself look like Hojo.

"INUYASHA! GET MY MOTHER BACK!" Shippo screamed, even though he was about an adolescent in youkai

years Shippo still acted like he had when he was just a kit.

"Shippo, Inuyasha will bring her back. Don't worry." Sango's reincarnate with memories said

to him as she smacked Miroku's hand away from her backside without turning around.

"I'll be at the club. She's been going there for the past year now. And they want her to sing

for graduation." he said, and grabbed his coat leaving for the club where Kagome had been on her

way to.

"Bout damn time." Shippo muttered before walking off to find Kirara who had just come to her

humanoid form.

~*~At the Club~*~

"Tonight ladies and gentlemen we're having a karaoke night!" the announcer shouted into the mike

and Kagome was the fifth person to sign up for the event.

Singing seemed to be the only thing she could do that made her feel good about herself nowadays.

Each time the club was having Karaoke night- once every week- she would sing something by

Evanescence. Of course tonight she was going to sing Taking Over Me and My Last Breath,

one after the other.

On her way to her table where she had thrown her coat she bumped into 'Hojo.' Blinking her blue grey

eyes she looked up into his almond eyes and gasped when she saw that they were amber instead.

"Sorry Hojo. What are you doing here, this isn't your thing." Kagome said while leading him to her

table, thinking the eyes were just a trick of light.

"I wanted to come see you Kagome." he said quietly, almost making the girl wonder what he was really

doing there, almost.

"About?" she asked as she slid into her seat and grabbed the lyrics to her song going over them

before her turn came up.

"Sengoku Jidai." 'Hojo' said and Kagome paled.

"Excuse me? I almost thought for a second that you said Sengoku Jidai."

"I did. Kagome, I...theres something I need to tell you."

"AND NOW CALLING HIGURASHI KAGOME! SINGING TAKING OVER ME AND MY LAST BREATH BY EVANESCENCE!"

the announcer called into the microphone and Kagome was thankful for the interuption.

"If you'll excuse me Hojo-kun. Its time for me to go sing." she said jumping to her feet and

practically flying to get away from the schoolboy who had struck some nerves in her heart.

'Hojo' blinked and turned to see her standing on stage her eyes trained on nothing in particularly

as her music started for Taking Over Me.

"You don't remember me

But I remember you." Kagome sang, visions of meeting with Inuyasha again and him not knowing who

she was filling her mind.

'Hojo' however was thinking of how much this song was wrong when it came to the moment. He never

forgot Kagome. Not for a moment. She filled his being more than Kikyo had ever even come close.

"I lie awake and try so hard

Not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream?

And dream I do..." A lone tear fell down Kagome's cheek as she gripped the microphone in one hand,

in the other she held tight to a pink orb that hung around a chain on her neck, glowing with a

mystical light.

He imediatly realized where the Shikon No Tama had went when she disappeared. With her. It was

her ticket toget home, and it was what had caused her to free him to begin with. At least it was

safe with her.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me." as Kagome sang all she could think of was the pain she went through when

the well finally spit her out into her own time. She had tried to get through the well so many

times and so freverantly that she had broken her arm in her attempts.

'Hojo' remembered when after the time Kagome got stripped away from him how she came to school a

few days later with her arm in a sling, saying she broke her arm falling into the well at her

shrine. He knew that wasn't what had happened. She had been jumping into it so much and lost

her balance finally landing on her arm causing it to break.

"Have you forgotten all I know

And all we had?"

'No Kagome, I never forgot what you knew or what we had. And I never will forget. Kami Kagome,

I missed you when you would go back to the feudal times, though I knew you were with me even then.

And I still miss you, you've changed and all of this happened because of the Shikon No Tama.'

'Hojo' thought to himself as she continued singing, the tears falling like rain from her eyes and

down her cheeks.

"You saw me mourning my love for you

And touched my hand

I knew you loved me then." As Kagome sang that part she remembered how she had been crying in the

park when she had gotten back and Hojo had seen her and comforted her telling her she would be

okay and that she would find him again soon.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me." That was when Kagome realized something from that memory. She had never

even told Hojo that she had gotten seperated from the love of her life. The only way he would

know was if someone had told him, and she was sure no one did, or if he were Inuyasha...

"I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are

Just like you are taking over." Kagome's eyes snapped open from how she was crying and singing

with them shut to look directly at Hojo. Her eyes widended at the sight that greeted her.

'Hojo' had released the kitsune magic and shown her his true form. His almond brown eyes had

turned to the amber she had loved. The short chestnut hair had grown out and was shining silver.

The human ears on either side of his head were gone and were replaced with dog like appendages

atop his head.

'Inuyasha, oooh boy when I get down from here...' she thought her heart melting from the ice she

had formed around it when she had lost hope in finding him again.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me."

Inuyasha smiled when she was locked eyes with him still singing but not crying anymore. Her face

was smiling, she was slowly coming back to her old self, all because she had seen him. Than he

saw the malicious glint in her eyes meaning she was going to hurt him for not telling her sooner.

His smile faltered.

When Kagome saw his smile falter she knew he had realized what she was thinking. She smiled even

more and continued singing, finishing off the song.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me."

'Oh how much I want to get down from here, but if I stop I'll get kicked out for a week...OH WELL!'

Kagome thought before jumping off the stage, the song still going as she ran towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's eyes widended a bit when she jumped off the stage and headed straight towards him, the

music still going in the background. The look on her face meant she didn't care, she just wanted

to be in his arms.

*Taking over me...

You're taking over me...

Taking over me...

Taking over me...*

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out as her arms locked around his neck and her face buried in his chest.

"Kagome..." he moaned as he rested his cheek on the top of her head breathing in her scent as his

hands locked around her waist.

"Don't you ever leave me. EVER." she whispered for only him to hear her arms tightening around

him posessively.

"If I remember correctly, you're the one that left me." he said smugly and got bit painfully in

the chest for his smugness.

"Hmm..." Kagome said as she backed up a few steps, her eyes holding the malicious glint he hadn't

seen in 502 years.

"Kagome...Don't...Kami no..." he said just before she said a word she hadn't uttered in 2 years

or before that because it reminded her of him, in this time anyways.

"Sit boy." she muttered and SLAM Inuyasha met the floor of the club where her next song started

to play but they weren't listening.

"WENCH!!" he screamed out and Kagome laughed.

"C'mon. I want a LOAD of explanations boy." Kagome said as she pulled him to his feet leaning

against him as they walked, her coat and the club forgotten as they caught up.

~*~*~*~Graduation a month later~*~*~*~

"And now for Higurashi Kagome to sing a song she chose just for us for graduation." the old

man, who was probably Naraku incarnet, the school principle said to the audience that showed up

for the Tokyo's HighSchool Graduation.

"Hold on to me love

You Know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?" Kagome sang, looking back at 'Hojo' in the crowd of green that

were the boys for graduation.

'Hojo' nodded his head and she smiled turning to the boy sitting next to him, who turned out to

be Miroku's reincarnate. Miroku, or the American transfer student Michael as he was known at

the school, nodded his head smiling as she sang, her voice filling his senses as his eyes then locked

to the other American transfer student Sarah, or Sango as their little group knew her.

"Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight." Kagome looked out to her grandfather, mother, and Souta in the audience

and smiled one of her now ever present smiles. They smiled back knowing she was finally home.

"I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me)" a tear fell down her cheek as visions of when they finally

defeated Naraku 502 years before, two for her. But she sang on.

~*~Flashback~*~

"KAGOME GET DOWN!" Inuyasha screamed from where he was fighting alongside his brother, Sesshomaru,

against the youkai Naraku had thrown at them.

Sango was guarding the unconscious Miroku whom had sucked in too many hell wasps with his kazaana.

Kirara was protecting Shippo who was sparactically throwing out "Fox Fires" every now and then.

But Kagome was in the thick of it all, face-to-face with Naraku, the devil himself.

*I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears*

"Naraku, you can stop all this. You're not completely evil. You have some good in you and you

know it. Just call them off!" Kagome begged, hoping to be able to talk him out of fulfilling his

sick desires.

"I'm all evil, and you are being naive little girl." Naraku said lashing a tentacle at her, the

sharp end aiming right at her heart.

*Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight*

"I'm not the naive one. I have more power than you'll ever know Naraku." Kagome muttered raising

her glowing hand purifying the tentacle and all the other ones coming from his body. "I offered

you a chance to redeem yourself. But now, now you shall pay for all the pain you have ever put

anyone through. I will see to it."

Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light surrounding the two and when it disappeared Kagome

stood alone, holding in her hand the completed Shikon No Tama. The youkai that had been fighting

against the Inu-taichi froze, took a look at the glowing Kagome, and ran. Sesshomaru, knowing

that the hanyou Naraku was defeated, bid his thanks and left to dispose of any other youkai.

Sango ran over to Miroku and looked at his hand while he was still unconscious, seeing that he

no longer had a kazaana she smiled, Naraku was truly dead. Shippo looked around the battlesite

and then looked at his mother and smiled, she had done it. Inuyasha, speechless, ran to Kagome

and caught her in his arms just as her knees gave out on her.

"Inuyasha...Its done. He's gone." she muttered looking up into his face.

"I know, Kagome. I know." he said smiling and kissing her gently on the lips without truly even

thinking of what he was doing.

Surprised, Kagome pulled away and then smiled. Closing her eyes she kissed the hanyou she loved

wishing for the moment to never end. The two of them shared their first kiss, gripping eachother

as if their lives depended on it.

*Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there!*

Suddenly Kagome felt cold and couldn't feel Inuyasha in her arms anymore. Upon opening her eyes

she saw that she had been transported through time and was in her well. Opening her hand she saw

the Shikon No Tama and cried in pain and loss.

"NO NO!! I CAN'T HAVE BEEN SENT BACK! I CAN'T HAVE BEEN! INUYASHA!!!!" she screamed after

throwing herself repeatedly into the well trying to get back to him. She realized then that

it wasn't working, she couldn't get back to him.

*Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me calling me as you fade to black*

~*~End Flashback~*~

"Say goodnight

Holding my last breath

Don't be afraid

Safe inside myself

Calling me

Are all my thoughts of you

Calling me as you fade to black

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

Holding my last breath..." Kagome finished the song to thousands of clapping hands ands tears

falling down her cheeks.

Feeling two strong arms wrap around her she looked up and saw 'Hojo' holding her. She smiled and

leaned against him wrapping her arms around his. Looking to the side she could see everyone

throwing their graduation hats into the air and hugging one another. One thing she saw froze her

at first before she smiled; 'Michael' and 'Sarah' were kissing for the first time.

"You were thinking about it huh?" was what brought her back to reality.

"Yea, but now I don't have to worry about it. Your with me and thats all that matters. You're

back and I love you and I'm never letting you go." she said digging her fingers into his so she

could grip his hands into her own.

"Thats right. I'll always be here, I'll never leave you. I love you and I don't plan on letting

you letting me go." Inuyasha said leaning around and kissing her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Thats it. It was my first songfic that is going online. I wrote one to Avril LaVigne's "Losing

Grip." But I don't know if I'll put that one up. Its up to you if you like this one than maybe

I'll put it up.
