I recommend right now you download the song, "Stairway To Heaven," By: Led Zeppelin
Woooo! Yesterday was my b-day. I got lots of stuff.. I'm in a good mood. ^____^
To Madmoomoos: You asked where I got the idea of Kagome being a playgirl.. well, its a long story. To make it short, after eating a bunch of pixie sticks, lemon-heads, slurpee's, and snowballs, while listening to Tango music did the trick for me.. and, I got some of her experiences from what has happened to me before in my life. I was thinking, "Hey.. you know, I wonder what it would be like if the roles were switched around.. Kagome wasn't the quiet one, but, the loud and playgirl-ish one!" And, that's where it all began..
On with the story now! ^^
***
Miroku and Sango were looking for Inuyasha and Kagome, but couldn't
find them. Then Sango instantly knew where they were and ran off in their
direction. Miroku shortly followed. Sango was almost there, when Inuyasha
came running up to the two with Kagome in his arms, carrying her bridal
style.
"She's okay." He stated, looking at them.
"Oh Kagome!" She opened her eye's and saw Sango and Miroku staring at
her, worrying.
"Its.. okay... but was it just a dream?" She said, quietly.
"A dream? What are you talking about?" Miroku said, looking at her.
She looked around, and saw the scene she was in. She was now at school.
It must have been a dream, "It must have been a dream.. I never.." A tear
leaked out of her eye.
'Maybe its best if she never knew. I'll let time heal the wounds,
and come back for her.' Inuyasha thought, gravely.
Kagome got out of Inuyasha's hold, and tried to walk, she then fell
over instantly. She waited for the impact....
...it never came.
Inuyasha held on to her, tightly. "I'm not letting go."
She looked up to him, with watery eyes, and said something only she
understood.
"Never, let go."

Trust In Me
Hold still please.
Trust in me,
Just in me.
Close your eyes,
And trust in me.
We can sleep safe and sound,
Knowing I am around.
Slip into silent slumber.
Sail on a silver mist.
Slowly but surely,
Your senses will cease to resist.
-Trust In Me

Last period once again, as she looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
She looked down at the paper she was doodling on, and she saw it was her
pranks paper. She let out a silent tear and crumpled it up into a ball.
She just threw it in the trash, not really caring much about life anymore.
She asked the teacher, "May I please go to the bathroom?"
"Go right ahead, Kagome." The teacher could tell something was amiss
with her, and didn't think she would be coming back for the period. She
didn't mind at all, for she was a wonderful student.
She was right, Kagome wasn't coming back for the period.
***
Kagome had somehow ended in the field she had dreamed up, and was sitting
in the tall grass, letting it take over her soul. She closed her eyes,
breathing in deeply. Yes, this was peace.
The grass flowed softly with the wind, and it was very bright and sunny.
The heat from the sun made her sleepy, so she yawned, and put her hands
behind her head. She had a smile on her face, just to show how serene she
was. The birds chirped, which was music to her ears. She watched cherry
blossom petals fall from the tree's around her, and dance in the air like
they had a soul of their own. One landed on her ear, and it was a sign,
to listen closely. She took the sign, and listened.
It was quiet for a couple minutes, then you could hear soft music being
played in the air...
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed,
With a word she can get what she came for."
She closed her eye's again, listening to the well thought out music.
It was being played on the acoustic guitar, perfectly. She couldn't sense
where it was coming from, so, she made it seem in her mind that it was
playing all around her. The voice was gentle, and it had a calming tone
to it. She really felt like falling asleep, but she wanted to hear the
rest.
"And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure,
And you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven."
She wondered again, who this was. But the thought was quickly dismissed
as she then wondered who this person could be singing this too, dedicating
it to. Maybe he would say in the end. She thought it was a he, because
this person was singing about a girl, plus the voice was very masculine.
It sounded sad though, like he was calling out to something. Or
someone.
She never noticed the music was getting closer, and closer to her ears.
"And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking."
'This girl, must be lucky.' She thought. 'If any guy would
call out to a girl like that, they would probably swoon with utmost joy.
Just listen to him.. its wonderful. And the talent is amazing..' Her
mind started getting heavier, and she began shutting down. The music was
making her sleepy, and the whole idea of the surroundings was making her
also. She still, with all her will-power, listened.
"And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forest will echo with laughter."
"I wish I knew who that was.. I wish they would be singing to me.. not
anyone else. Just me. See me. And only me." She stated quietly to
herself. Shortly, she was going in and out of daze, and she was starting
to give out for the need of sleep. She hadn't slept well for the past couple
of days, and it was time to catch up.
"And it makes me wonder...
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now.
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen."
"Queen.." She repeated lazily. Once again, she could never tell that
the music was just a couple feet away from her. It sounded like, it was
aimed towards her. She wished it was true. This guy was probably so kind..
romantic.. and caring. She couldn't stand it. She wanted someone like that,
not someone who would just lust after her body, but lust after her personality.
"Yes there are two paths you can go by,
but in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on.
Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind."
This song was getting to her inner-soul, so carelessly, but with much
emotion, she whispered into the wind. "Gods.. I love you, Inuyasha.." Maybe,
just maybe, her 'stairway' would lead to Inuyasha. Maybe
Kagome thought all glittered in gold. Maybe, Inuyasha loved her
too.
"And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our souls.
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show.
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all,
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven..."
The voice she noticed, became louder and had much more strength now.
Just for this verse, but at the end, she could tell he was calming down,
for probably the last verse. His voice was angelic, and would probably
make it out to celebrities' voices, but this person didn't seem to like
to sing in front of people if he came all the way out here.
Which, lead back to her thinking of the reason why she was here. A small
glittering tear out in the sun, dropped to the grass below her, and she
took in a deep breath, then sighed. The least she could do was enjoy the
singing, and the moment was was having currently. This, was pure bliss.
The voice indeed did slow down, and it was like whispering comfortingly
into the wind.
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed,
With a word she can get what she came for.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven........"
The song ended, and a couple more chords were played on the guitar.
They were beautiful, as his voice. She finally, let sleep overtake her.
In the back of her mind, she was still conscious, because when she heard
her name, she woke up right away.
"I dedicate that to you, Kagome."
She smiled. She didn't know who it was, or who sang it, but it would
be forever in her memory, locked away with a key. As it was in her heart.
She still had her eye's closed. If she didn't, she would have noticed
the pink petal, that was kissed, and sent her way. It landed next to her,
and she felt the warmth radiating off of it, inside of her...
Also, if she had her eye's open, she would have noticed the silvery
hair flowing in the wind, right in back of her...

AN: Even when they get together, or IF they get together, this will always be my favorite chapter. I love how this came out, and I wouldn't trade anything for it! This is one of my favorite songs too so it adds all the more joy to it.
