Chapter 2
Shippo climbed up the tree that Inuyasha was in. He quietly snuck onto the branch Inuyasha was on and sat in front of him. It was time for them to talk in a more adult like manner. He, also, had to push his fear from seeing the others died aside. He shook the thought from his mind. Inuyasha heard a noise and opened his eyes. In front of him was Shippo. "What do you want, brat?" Shippo sighed. "I had this dream." Inuyasha said, "So. Why would I care about that?" Shippo said, "Well, it involved Sesshomaru." Inuyasha gave Shippo an odd look. "And..." Shippo looked away. "Well, I was wondering if it was true." Inuyasha asked, "What?" Shippo took a breath. "Is Sesshomaru my father?" Inuyasha stared at Shippo for a minute. He wasn't trying to be funny. The kid was actually being serious. "Shippo, you don't have to be afraid." Shippo couldn't believe it. Sesshomaru was his father?!? Inuyasha continued. "It's not true. Sesshomaru isn't your father. Trust me. I would know. You are a full fox demon. I can tell that just by your smell." Shippo sighed. 'Thank goodness, but it would be cool if Inuyasha was my uncle.' Shippo looked up at Inuyasha. "Is there something else kid?" Shippo was wondering if he should answer. 'But Inuyasha will think I'm a wimp if I tell him I'm scared cause of the dream.' Shippo shook his head and climbed down. He settled back down next to Kagome.
"What are you doing up, Shippo?" Kagome whispered as she yawned. "I had a nightmare." Inuyasha heard this from the tree and tried his best not to laugh. He didn't want Shippo to think he was laughing at him, but it was funny that he thinks Sesshomaru being his father is a nightmare. "What was it about?" Kagome asked quietly. Shippo thought, 'Should I tell her about Sesshomaru being my father deal? No.' "We were being attacked and everyone was injured except for me. I was so scared. Why can I ever help when everyone is in trouble?" Inuyasha thought, 'So that was the other thing on his mind.' Kagome motioned for Shippo to come to her. "It's okay, Shippo." Kagome began humming a tune as Shippo sat down in Kagome's lap. 'This used to help me go to sleep when I was scared. I'll see if it works on him.' She began to sing like her mother did to her.
"There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you."
She looked down at Shippo. He wasn't quite asleep yet so she kept on singing.
"It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear.
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you."
Kagome smiled as she saw Shippo sleeping peacefully in her lap. It was a nice thing for her to see. It did seem to work on little kids(the singing). She ruffled his hair before setting him off of her lap onto her sleeping bad. This part of the song she thought fit her a little bit.
"Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you."
Kagome sighed after she finished the song. It was so true. Shippo needed to feel that hero that is inside him and she needed to find a way to follow her dreams and not let anyone tear them away. She needed to find a way to tell Inuyasha her feelings, but how?
Suddenly, a loud thump was hear beside her. She jumped a bit until she realized it was Inuyasha who had just jumped out of the tree. "You scared me half to death." she said, placing a hand over her heart as she tried to slow down her heartbeat. Inuyasha said, "I think that song help Shippo a lot." He added an afterthought, 'It helped me to realized something too.' The lyrics repeated in his head.
He looked at Kagome who was now trying to hide her blush. "You heard me singing?" He nodded. She turned even more red as a result. "I think it really did help him." Inuyasha nodded. "In a way it helped me too." Kagome gave him a look. "What do you mean?" He sighed. "I mean it made me come to realize something." Kagome said, "Oh yeah. What is it?" Inuyasha pulled her to her feet and gave her a hug. "It made me realize how much you mean to me." Kagome's heart began to leap again. He repeated the words.
"It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear."
"Kagome that was exactly how I felt until I met you, but now I guess since I'm with you my emptiness has disappeared." he said quietly into her ear. Kagome said, "I guess we share the same feeling then." Inuyasha smiled. Kagome then realized how perectly the song fit for Inuyasha, Shippo, and herself and how it help them to see things that they never saw before. For Inuyasha, it was something different. For the first time, he was able to admit the feelings kept up for so long and for the first time he didn't face the world alone.
