AN: Second chapter! YAY! All right, I don't know if there will be any songs
yet. If I can find one to slip in this chapter, I will! Oh, from the last
chapter, I put "That got him a suicidal best friend". I meant nothing by
it! Both of my grandparents suffered from it. Anyway, on to the "previous"
part.
Previously:
"W-what happened?"
"She killed herself. But that's none of your business!" InuYasha snapped. Kagome knew he wanted to cry, he wanted to have someone to talk to about it, but she knew he'd never admit to it. He'd closed himself up. In his world, nothing truly existed except for the death of his best friend- and nothing else ever would. Or so he thought.
"Gomen! Oh, gomen! I-I didn't know! Gomen!" Kagome stopped crying abruptly. She was starring at InuYasha, whom was starring at the ground. She saw his eyes tear up, but thought better of it not to mention. InuYasha brought a sleeve up to his eyes but disguised it as a sniff.
"We should go in." He said calmly. His throat felt clammy but wouldn't cry, not in front of anyone, at least. Especially not in front of another girl. That got him a suicidal best friend. He didn't want any friends any more. He didn't want to have to worry.
Disclaimer: Kanna: How many times am I going to have to explain this? Kagome: I know! He just doesn't get anything from our time! InuYasha: I do so! I understand that Kanna will make us fall in love. Kagome: You wouldn't! Kanna: Hehe. Um, you'll live? Kagome: WA?!? InuYasha: I told you! Kanna: InuYasha? Do you want to do the disclaimer? I feel we're going to play bows and arrows. InuYasha: Yes! Kanna owns nothing but a worthless notebook (used to be laptop, someone bought that name, so she can't use it.). Wait, what's a notebook? Oh, and NO ONE owns me! Kagome: SIT!

"Want to go to the creek?" Kagome asked hopefully.
"Sorry, dear. I can't. But you may go. Just don't get to close to the water." Kagome's father answered. Kagome nodded and ran to the main door. She opened the door but remembered that she had forgotten her bow and arrow. She ran to the huge walk-in coat closet. She grabbed her bow and arrow and, once again, headed for the door.
She walked through the forest, leaves crunching as her feet ran over them. She wanted to get down there as soon as possible to test out her new bow and arrows. Little did she know, a certain golden-eyed boy was sitting in his favorite tree.
InuYasha suddenly heard a beautiful voice singing.
"I close my eyes,
In your heart I don't mean anything at all.
So I'll dream.
Whilst I sleep I will dream of what your thinking
When you walk past me in the hall.
I will live,
I'll see a brighter day no matter what may come.
I will see
When you're standing by me.
We are one.
I've got a life of my own.
I've got a place I can call home.
I've got this day, said and done.
I'll find a way to be your only one.
I close my eyes.
I close my eyes,
In your heart I don't mean anything at all.
It shall be,
When you're finally on your knee
Asking me to a ball.
I will know,
In my heart I'll feel it so.
You don't have to be alone.
I've got a life of my own,
I've got a place I can call home.
I've got this day, said and done.
I'll find a way to be your only one.
I close my eyes."
InuYasha looked down from where he was sitting. He saw that raven- haired girl from last week. What was she singing? He'd never heard that song before or such a wonderful voice. Not even Kikyou's voice could match up to that. His left hit another branch and made a horribly loud noise.
"Who's there?" Kagome yelled. InuYasha jumped down. "InuYasha? I'm so embarrassed! I didn't realize anyone could hear me."
"That's okay. Where'd you learn that song?"
"Oh," She smiled really big. "I made it myself. How does it sound?"
"Amazing." He said but immediately shook his head after he realized what he said.
"Thanks." She giggled. "So, um, what are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" He snapped.
"Gomen. I'll go, than." She snapped back. This took InuYasha by surprise and he knew Kagome could tell because she smiled. "Just because I was nice to you doesn't mean you can walk all over me!"
"I thought you said you were leaving?"
"I'm going. Have a nice day, InuYasha!" She said and stormed off. She stopped before she got to far away and pulled out an arrow. She tied something to it, put it on her bow, and drew it back. She turned to face InuYasha and let it go. It missed him by an inch.
"What do you think you're doing, wench? You could have killed me!"
"Not possible! I never get what I want!" She yelled. She turned back around and headed for the other end of the creek. InuYasha snatched up the arrow that almost hit him.
"What's this?" InuYasha whispered. He pulled off the thing that was tied to it. It was like some kind of poem. He read it aloud.
"His eyes are emotionless,
They show nothing.
I thought we could be friends,
But I was only wishing.
I know I only wanted
To have a friend I could hold onto.
But there was something in his eyes
That told me that he had more in life to do.
I see those emotionless eyes
Everywhere I turn.
There's something more behind them,
He has a heart that burns.
I tried to be a friend to him,
He just kicked me out.
But I know there's more than I see in him,
Beyond the shadow of a doubt."
InuYasha starred at the paper, utterly bewildered. He looked to the end of the creek where Kagome was. He spotted her after a few seconds and ran over to her. But, wait, what was he going to say?
"InuYasha." She acknowledged him without even seeing him coming.
"Kagome. What's this?" He asked holding the paper up.
"Parchment, maybe?" She smiled, only glimpsing at the paper.
"I know that! I'm not stupid." He shouted.
"Did you read it?"
"Of course! Now, what is it?" He demanded.
"I wrote it for you earlier this week. You inspired me." She said, rubbing her arm.
"Oh, um..."
"If you don't like it, that's okay! I'm a lot better when I think of a tune to go with it. I can take criticism."
"I do." He smiled. Is he actually talking to me without yelling?, she asked herself. She starred at him for a second.
"What a change." She whispered. But, of course, with his ultra- sensitive ears, he heard her.
"Gomen."
"What?"
"I-I said, gomen." He said, closing his eyes.
"You're sorry? For what?"
"For-for... everything."
"Everything? The only thing you've done was treat me like... like... I don't know."
