~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ {dream} "talking" 'thinking' Chapter 8
Everyone was in the car except Inuyasha. "Hey, sorry ya gotta be there so early, but you're practically part of the band!" Miroku told Kagome. He'd picked up Sango and Kagome, and was heading to pick up Koga. Inuyasha'd told Miroku he'd be late.
"Oh boy. I am SOOOO nervous!" Sango looked pumped. Miroku pulled into Koga's driveway. He came out the side door.
"Hey man."
"Hey." Sango and Kagome had been nice enough to let the guys have the front.
"Where's dog boy?" Koga asked looked around the car.
"He's gunna be late," Miroku informed him.
"Oh."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\at the gym/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
It was 5, and Inuyasha still hadn't showed up. They'd been there for a half an hour already getting things ready.
Five thirty, six, six fifteen, 'Where is he? If he's not here by six thirty, I'll go find him.'
Six thirty, he still hadn't showed up, so Kagome left and borrowed Miroku's car. She headed towards the first place he'd be, Inuyasha's house.
As she walked to the front door, she heard her name, "Kagome....". It was faint and raspy. She looked around, but saw no one. "Kagome....." She looked around again, but saw no one. She walked a little quicker towards the door and knocked on it. A little girl, nine or ten answered.
"Hi!"
"Hi, I'm Kagome. Do you remember me Rin?"
"Yes."
"Is your cousin here?"
"Sessy is, but not Inuyasha. Are you looking for him?"
"Yea. But it's okay. Thank you. Bye."
"Bye-bye!"
'Well, that's great. He's not here.' Kagome looked at her watch, now it was about time for the dance to start. 'Well, where else could he be?' Kagome tried her house, wasn't there. 'Now what? Wait a second....' She sped off to the well house Inuyasha had taken her to a few weeks ago.
Leaving the car parked a few blocks away, she walked to the lonely little house on the outskirts of town.
She walked into the darkened room and stopped. The doors to the well hadn't been opened yet. But suddenly she had a hand around her mouth and couldn't move. "MHMP!"
"Shut up wench!" The hands let go and Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha.
"You idiot! Why aren't you at the school practicing with the band?"
"Think about it. Why else would I come here?"
"I don't know."
"Are you that oblivious?" The darkness made things hard to see, for a human, but for Inuyasha things were different. He quick walked across the door so the little light from outside could let her see him better. He revealed himself to the half demon Inuyasha, not the human one.
"That's tonight?"
"Yea. On the nights of the new moon, or when there is no moon, this happens." He shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the broken frame of the building. The only thing Kagome couldn't see that would have made his emotions more clear were his ears drooping a little.
"Why don't you cheer up and come to the dance?"
"No way. I'm not taking any chances."
"What have you got to lose?" He stood silent. "It's just like you said, "What's the difference between the real you, and this you?"
"You make me laugh Kagome Higurashi. You always find the good that's in there with the bad." He stood up straight and took Kagome's hand. "You're right. Who cares what other people think? This is who I am. And if they do anything, they're dead meat." Kagome was picked up bridal style and flying over the rooftops of Tokyo with the most wonderful guy she had ever known. As the school came into sight, her heart started beating faster. 'What if this is the wrong choice? Would Inuyasha hate me for it? What is everyone else going to think?'
"Settle down. I'm cool with this." Kagome looked up at him, 'Its almost like he read my mind!'. "Really. Don't worry everything will be okay."
As Inuyasha landed on the roof, her grip around his neck tightened. 'I'm scared for him. I couldn't stand it if something happened to him......' She slid out of his arms and stood on her own feet, but didn't move. 'I can't move. I don't want to move.' Kagome stood paralyzed, staring in his innocent eyes. Her arms flew around him. "Please. Don't do this. I won't stand to hear what they say!" Tears trickled down her cheeks.
"Stop crying! Nothing they say can hurt." His grip around her tightened. "I promise." He took Kagome's hand and jumped off the building, landing gracefully of course. No one was walking in, so it must be late. She looked at her watch and saw it was eight thirty. Kagome took a deep breath and took Inuyasha's hand.
"You ready?" She asked.
"Definitely." Both walked pridefully into the school building, straight to the gym. No one was in the halls on the way to the gym. Then they came to them. The only thing separating them from the rest of the school. The doors.
'Great. All the attention gets put on us.' Inuyasha grabbed the doors and opened them. A few people turned to see who had come in so late, but they went back to dancing. 'Why? Didn't they see Inuyasha?' Kagome looked up at him. The moron had laid his ears flat! 'Moron.'
Inuyasha pulled Kagome to a corner no one was at. It was a slow song playing, so they held each other tight.
Sango sang: "I expected a fairy tale,
But all I got was you------
I expected a knight in shining armor......
To sweep me off my feet-------
But I never expect,
Expected to fall,
Fall in love with you-----.."
"Inuyasha?"
"Hm?"
"You're a moron."
"So are you."
"So. What are you saying?"
He just kept his arms around her waist and swayed with the music. "I want to enjoy this night as much as I can with you before everything goes out of control."
Sango continued: "My life has never been a fairy tale,
I've been through pain and hurt-----
And yet you make me feel like....
Like I'm needed, like I'm special, like I'm cared for......
I never want you to leave my side,
And I never want to leave your side, either--------..."
Kagome just rocked back and forth with her hands around Inuyasha's neck. "No matter what happens after this night, I'm still there by your side. No matter what the other people say."
"You-you'd stay with me?"
"Uh huh."
"Kagome, truthfully, I've never met a person quite like you before."
"Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?"
"That's a good thing, stupid."
"And why would that be?"
Inuyasha didn't say anything for a few minutes. "You're the only person who ever accepted me for me. You took in both sides of me."
"Inuyasha..."
Now Miroku sang: "Fairy tales can happen,
That I know is true.....
Yet I didn't think so------
Til I met you.
It wasn't love at first sight,
Like in the stories....
At first I hated you, or at least I thought I did---------...."
"Kikyo knows. That's why she tries to ruin my life. So she can try and expose me. But she's failed horribly. I do worry though, that one day, she will get me. Until then, I have you."
Miroku continued: "You are my damsel in distress,
You stole my heart,
And I took yours, in my hands.
You take my breath away------
And no matter what I do,
I will never leave you,
Because I care for you,
Because I love you with all of my heart.."
Sango looked over at Miroku and smiled. They both looked down at Kagome and Inuyasha.
Now they sang duet: First Sango: "You are my knight in shining armor...."
Miroku: "You are my damsel in distress...."
Sango: "You are my prince,"
Miroku(getting the jest?): "You are my princess,"
S: "You gave my wings------"
M: "You gave me courage-------"
S: "And you taught me how to fly-------"
M: "And you taught me how to care--------"
S: "I will never leave your side,"
M: "I will never leave your side,"
S: "And I will always love you------"
M: "And I will always love you-------"
Kagome and Inuyasha swayed with the music until the song was over. Fortunately for them, another slow song came up. They didn't move from their positions.
"Tell me, ------
Will we still be friends,
After the sun goes down at night?
Will we be friends when the sun comes to rise again?
Will we still be friends, you tell me-----
I remember waking up in the morning,
Just wondering if----
If you were okay------
If you were alright-------
If you made it through the night.....okay-----
Tell me,-----
Will we still be friends,
After the sun goes down at night?
Will we be friends when the sun comes to rise again?
Will we still be friends, you tell me------
Help me,
Tell me if this....
If this is the way to go-----
Alone-------
Will we be friends, friends forever-----
Will we split apart?
I'm saying this with all my heart.....
I never want to leave your side, again....
Tell me, -------
Will we still be friends,
After the sun goes down at night?
Will we be friends when the sun comes to rise again?
Will we still be friends, you tell me------
No matter what happens,
I know we'll be friends, forever,
Cuz not one of us can ------
Can be all we can,
Without a friend by our side --------
To help us in the best,
And the worst.
Tell me, -------
Will we still be friends,
After the sun goes down at night?
Will we be friends when the sun comes to rise again?
Will we still be friends, you tell me-----
Good, better, best..
Better than all the rest,
Is how our friendship seems to go--------
I just truly want to know,
Tell me, will you stay here by my side [gets softer and softer]
Till the end of time....[softer]
Till the end of time....[even softer]
Till the end......[softer yet]
Of time------------[really soft, barely whisper]
After the song was finished, Inuyasha spoke. "Kikyo's here."
"How can you tell? I never saw her."
"Uh, the nose stupid. I ain't exactly human right now."
"Oh, right. What do you suppose she wants?"
"Who know? And who cares." Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a tight hug. "Kagome, I want you to know something."
"Hm?"
"I.." he bent down to her ear, "I love you Kagome."
Kagome's eyes got big as she laid on his shoulder. She looked up at him, "Oh, Inuyasha, so do I! I've been wanting to tell you, but I was too afraid you were still hung up over Kikyo!" Kagome's eyes started to water, but she didn't cry. She just laid her head back onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "I do love you Inuyasha, you know that? Right?"
"Of course I do, moron."
Kagome and Inuyasha stayed hugged until Inuyasha suddenly looked up. "What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"Something's wrong."
"Like what?"
"Like a Kikyo something, that's what."
"Can you tell what she's doing?"
"All I can tell from here is she's walking around behind the band, but that's all I can hear."
"What would she want?"
All of a sudden the music died as Kikyo switched the power from the band's instruments to her microphone. "Can I have everyone's attention please!" She asked walking in front of the band, taking over Sango's spot. Everyone in the crowd turned to see what she was doing. "Ah, there we go. Now, you all know Inuyasha right?"
The crowd kind of shifted.
"She's doing it again," Inuyasha growled.
"Well. Inuyasha here has a secret here that could kill all of you." Now the school was starting to get up set. There was tons of murmuring going on. "You see, Inuyasha is a demon." The talking was getting louder.
Kagome watched in horror as Kikyo told practically the whole school his secret. She looked at Inuyasha who just hung his head and was growling. "Inuyasha?"
Kikyo continued, "He's been hiding this all from you. If he wanted to, he could kill every single one of you right now. And he wouldn't even regret it. In fact, he might actually enjoy it."
"KIKYO! SHUT UP! YOU'RE LYING!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly.
"Oh, we wouldn't want to lose our temper now would we?"
"SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME."
"So, why are you denying yourself then? Huh? Then it MUST be true!"
Inuyasha just growled at her. "IF YOU LIKE TO LIE SO MUCH, MAYBE THEY'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR SECRET!"
Now the kids were practically yelling to themselves. Kikyo stood flabbergasted at what Inuyasha had just said. "MY secret? You mean, I, Kikyo would actually have a secret worth keeping?"
"YOU HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION THE SHIKON JEWEL. IF YOU WANTED TO SO BAD, YOU COULD WISH ALL THESE PEOPLE DEAD!"
"Oh, I do? If I have the Jewel, don't you think I would have used it on you by now?" Kikyo shot back. Inuyasha was beat. He didn't have the Jewel to use against her. "So you see, Inuyasha here is the most deadly of us in here. His claws could rip through your skin and bones like paper. And all that would be left of you was a memory of you carried on by people that he DIDN'T kill."
The audience watched in awe/shock as these two fought. "Alright Kikyo. Prove that I'm a demon."
"That's simple enough. Come here and I'll show the school, if you don't mind." She motioned with her finger to come up on stage. Inuyasha, not wanting to, but did, walked up on the stage.
"Inuyasha! Don't!" Kagome whispered.
"I don't have a choice Kagome!" He said without even turning around.
'He heard me?!' Kagome fell to her knees as she watched what the wicked witch of Tokyo was about to do to her Inuyasha. Yes. She admitted it. He was hers. Ever since she first saw him, she knew he was going to be special to her. And all Kagome could do now was hope that Kikyo didn't do anything bad. She folded her hands and started chanting, "Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay...."
Inuyasha stood next to Kikyo as he waited for his fate to over come him. 'And now it comes to this. Once a reincarnation of a half breed, always a reincarnation of a half breed. I'll live with whatever happens to me...'
"Do you all want proof?"
"Yea!" came a demanding cry from the crowd.
"Alright. Here's your proof. I have one question for you Inuyasha, and answer it truthfully. Do you admit to being a pathetic, worthless, useless, insignificant half breed?"
Inuyasha stood silent.
"Well?"
"Yes," he whispered.
"What's that? I don't think they could hear you out there."
"YES!"
A big gasp from the crowd erupted. "Alright, here's reason number two. Show us your so-called human ears then, huh?"
Kagome heard all of what Kikyo was doing. She had tears running down her face like Niagara Falls. 'That horrible witch! How could she....'
Inuyasha stood up on the stage, glaring daggers at Kikyo. "You want to show them, you do it yourself."
"Fine. Be that way." She jerked his head to the side and moved his hair out of the way. The school went silent. "See? Here's your proof. Aren't humans supposed to have HUMAN ears?"
"What are you trying to pull?" a guy yelled from the crowd.
"Yea! He's human, what are you talking about?" a girl yelled from the other end of the gym.
Kikyo looked confused. Inuyasha took her wrist and grabbed it, sinking his unnoticed claws into her wrist. "It seems that love has once again over come hate."
"Ah...What are you talking about?"
"Well, if we're all reincarnations, doesn't that mean that Kagome is a priestess too?"
Kikyo winced in pain. "I would suppose so."
"And wouldn't that mean that she has priestess powers also?"
"Yes! Now let me go!"
Inuyasha threw Kikyo on the ground. "Kikyo, you'll never be able to beat me. With or without the help of someone, I will always beat you or your accomplices. Now go, before I really do kill you."
Kikyo backed away. "Why? Why Inuyasha? What happened that day? What made you change the way you acted? After you left, what did you think?"
"You nearly killed me Kikyo! I was in a coma for nearly five months on the verge of death. What do you think I thought about you after you sent me near dead to the hospital?!"
"Someday, Inuyasha, someday you'll realize it wasn't me. We were always meant to be together. Where ever we were, where ever we are, and where ever we will be." Kikyo stood up and held her bleeding wrist. "Someday, Inuyasha, someday.............." She walked off the stage, maybe never to be seen again. Who knew.
Inuyasha was more concerned about Kagome. He ran off the stage, despite all the staring. Kagome was collapsed on the ground. "Kagome?!"
"Inu.......yasha?"
"Kagome! What happened to you!"
"I thought I could help you........so I used......the powers that I thought I had.........to make you look human up there.........and apparently it worked."
"What were you thinking. You could have killed yourself!" Inuyasha saw a small, bleeding cut on her arm.
"Because............I love you...........don't forget that."
"You moron."
"Dog.....boy....." She fainted. Kagome fell limp, only unconscious, though. Inuyasha smiled, and pulled Kagome's head to his shoulder. He got tears in his eyes, but they never came.
"Kagome......"

Everyone was in the car except Inuyasha. "Hey, sorry ya gotta be there so early, but you're practically part of the band!" Miroku told Kagome. He'd picked up Sango and Kagome, and was heading to pick up Koga. Inuyasha'd told Miroku he'd be late.

"Inuyasha?"

"That's a good thing, stupid."
"And why would that be?"
Inuyasha didn't say anything for a few minutes. "You're the only person who ever accepted me for me. You took in both sides of me."
"Inuyasha..."
Now Miroku sang: "Fairy tales can happen,

Kagome and Inuyasha swayed with the music until the song was over. Fortunately for them, another slow song came up. They didn't move from their positions.
"Tell me, ------

I just truly want to know,
Tell me, will you stay here by my side [gets softer and softer]
Till the end of time....[softer]
Till the end of time....[even softer]
Till the end......[softer yet]
Of time------------[really soft, barely whisper]
After the song was finished, Inuyasha spoke. "Kikyo's here."
"How can you tell? I never saw her."
"Uh, the nose stupid. I ain't exactly human right now."
"Oh, right. What do you suppose she wants?"
"Who know? And who cares." Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a tight hug. "Kagome, I want you to know something."
"Hm?"
"I.." he bent down to her ear, "I love you Kagome."
Kagome's eyes got big as she laid on his shoulder. She looked up at him, "Oh, Inuyasha, so do I! I've been wanting to tell you, but I was too afraid you were still hung up over Kikyo!" Kagome's eyes started to water, but she didn't cry. She just laid her head back onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "I do love you Inuyasha, you know that? Right?"
"Of course I do, moron."
Kagome and Inuyasha stayed hugged until Inuyasha suddenly looked up. "What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"Something's wrong."
"Like what?"
"Like a Kikyo something, that's what."
"Can you tell what she's doing?"
"All I can tell from here is she's walking around behind the band, but that's all I can hear."
"What would she want?"
All of a sudden the music died as Kikyo switched the power from the band's instruments to her microphone. "Can I have everyone's attention please!" She asked walking in front of the band, taking over Sango's spot. Everyone in the crowd turned to see what she was doing. "Ah, there we go. Now, you all know Inuyasha right?"

"KIKYO! SHUT UP! YOU'RE LYING!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly.
"Oh, we wouldn't want to lose our temper now would we?"
"SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME."
"So, why are you denying yourself then? Huh? Then it MUST be true!"
Inuyasha just growled at her. "IF YOU LIKE TO LIE SO MUCH, MAYBE THEY'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR SECRET!"
Now the kids were practically yelling to themselves. Kikyo stood flabbergasted at what Inuyasha had just said. "MY secret? You mean, I, Kikyo would actually have a secret worth keeping?"
"YOU HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION THE SHIKON JEWEL. IF YOU WANTED TO SO BAD, YOU COULD WISH ALL THESE PEOPLE DEAD!"
"Oh, I do? If I have the Jewel, don't you think I would have used it on you by now?" Kikyo shot back. Inuyasha was beat. He didn't have the Jewel to use against her. "So you see, Inuyasha here is the most deadly of us in here. His claws could rip through your skin and bones like paper. And all that would be left of you was a memory of you carried on by people that he DIDN'T kill."
The audience watched in awe/shock as these two fought. "Alright Kikyo. Prove that I'm a demon."
"That's simple enough. Come here and I'll show the school, if you don't mind." She motioned with her finger to come up on stage. Inuyasha, not wanting to, but did, walked up on the stage.
"Inuyasha! Don't!" Kagome whispered.
"I don't have a choice Kagome!" He said without even turning around.
'He heard me?!' Kagome fell to her knees as she watched what the wicked witch of Tokyo was about to do to her Inuyasha. Yes. She admitted it. He was hers. Ever since she first saw him, she knew he was going to be special to her. And all Kagome could do now was hope that Kikyo didn't do anything bad. She folded her hands and started chanting, "Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay...."
Inuyasha stood next to Kikyo as he waited for his fate to over come him. 'And now it comes to this. Once a reincarnation of a half breed, always a reincarnation of a half breed. I'll live with whatever happens to me...'
"Do you all want proof?"
"Yea!" came a demanding cry from the crowd.
"Alright. Here's your proof. I have one question for you Inuyasha, and answer it truthfully. Do you admit to being a pathetic, worthless, useless, insignificant half breed?"
Inuyasha stood silent.
"Well?"
"Yes," he whispered.
"What's that? I don't think they could hear you out there."
"YES!"
A big gasp from the crowd erupted. "Alright, here's reason number two. Show us your so-called human ears then, huh?"
Kagome heard all of what Kikyo was doing. She had tears running down her face like Niagara Falls. 'That horrible witch! How could she....'
Inuyasha stood up on the stage, glaring daggers at Kikyo. "You want to show them, you do it yourself."
"Fine. Be that way." She jerked his head to the side and moved his hair out of the way. The school went silent. "See? Here's your proof. Aren't humans supposed to have HUMAN ears?"
"What are you trying to pull?" a guy yelled from the crowd.
"Yea! He's human, what are you talking about?" a girl yelled from the other end of the gym.
Kikyo looked confused. Inuyasha took her wrist and grabbed it, sinking his unnoticed claws into her wrist. "It seems that love has once again over come hate."
"Ah...What are you talking about?"
"Well, if we're all reincarnations, doesn't that mean that Kagome is a priestess too?"
Kikyo winced in pain. "I would suppose so."
"And wouldn't that mean that she has priestess powers also?"
"Yes! Now let me go!"
Inuyasha threw Kikyo on the ground. "Kikyo, you'll never be able to beat me. With or without the help of someone, I will always beat you or your accomplices. Now go, before I really do kill you."
Kikyo backed away. "Why? Why Inuyasha? What happened that day? What made you change the way you acted? After you left, what did you think?"
"You nearly killed me Kikyo! I was in a coma for nearly five months on the verge of death. What do you think I thought about you after you sent me near dead to the hospital?!"
"Someday, Inuyasha, someday you'll realize it wasn't me. We were always meant to be together. Where ever we were, where ever we are, and where ever we will be." Kikyo stood up and held her bleeding wrist. "Someday, Inuyasha, someday.............." She walked off the stage, maybe never to be seen again. Who knew.
Inuyasha was more concerned about Kagome. He ran off the stage, despite all the staring. Kagome was collapsed on the ground. "Kagome?!"
"Inu.......yasha?"
"Kagome! What happened to you!"
"I thought I could help you........so I used......the powers that I thought I had.........to make you look human up there.........and apparently it worked."
"What were you thinking. You could have killed yourself!" Inuyasha saw a small, bleeding cut on her arm.
"Because............I love you...........don't forget that."
"You moron."
"Dog.....boy....." She fainted. Kagome fell limp, only unconscious, though. Inuyasha smiled, and pulled Kagome's head to his shoulder. He got tears in his eyes, but they never came.
"Kagome......"
