Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha/ any of its characters nor the song 'Losing Grip' by Avril Lavigne. If you have never heard of Avril Lavigne, I will come over to your house and murder you! She's a great singer!

A/N- Yay! The second chapter's up! ^^ Well, her ya' go!

Thanks for reviewing:

BlackPhoenix-sama- Really? This is good?

Elky Welky aka Mimi Chan- Ehhh, yeah okay. I don't really care about flames, but can like people who flame kinda tone down a bit on the criticism? I agree whole-heartily with you that this angst fic isn't very original, but when I put up the rating as PG, I would care a lot if people don't curse in the reviews.    

Chibi- Y'know, you remind me of one of my friends…and here's the chapter!

Kin103- LOL, sorry but no. At least you tried.

Let Go

Chapter Two

Kagome sat down in front of the tree, silently crying. I don't believe I just said that… I actually regret meeting Inuyasha! Wait a sec, do I? I don't even know my own feelings now…

~Are you aware of what

you make me feel, baby

Right now I feel invisible to you

Like I'm not real

Didn't you feel me lock

my arms around you

Why'd you turn away

Here's what I have to say~

She sighed again as another song rolled into her head. Yeah right. Of course Inuyasha knows how I fell about him- NOT! Arrrgh, this song is making me feel bad about myself!

~I was left to cry there

Waiting outside there

Grinning with a lost stare

That's when I realized~

No! It won't get out of my head! Great. Just great. Kinda ironic isn't it? I'm sitting outside crying, and yet, I'm probably concentrating on something I don't realize.

Kagome snapped herself out from zoning and found out she was correct. For some odd reason, she was staring at the Goshin No Boku, easily the tallest tree in the forest. She sniffed and wiped her face.

~Why should I care  

'Cause you weren't there

When I was scared

I was so alone

You need to listen

I'm starting to trip

I'm losing my grip

And I'm in this thing alone~

Kagome shook her head, trying to somehow deposit the song somewhere where she couldn't hear the lyrics.

Why should I care what you and Kikyou do?! Its none of my business anyway. I'm just a false, wretched copy of her. And I am not alone. Miroku and Sango and Shippou are by my side. I am not losing my grip over some half-human monster that doesn't even have feelings! Kagome hit the ground out of fury and stung her hands.

~Am I just some chick

You placed besides you

To take somebody's place

When you turn around

Can you recognize me face

You used to love me

You used to hug me

But that wasn't the case

Everything wasn't okay~

Kagome scoffed. He definitely replaced me with Kikyou. How could I have ever fell for his scheme? I mean, he probably just placed any girl besides him that he thought was pretty and had powerful magic. Of course nothing was okay. I mean, getting attacked by youkais and Naraku's incarnations kinda ticks you off

She got up and began to walk into the village, heading for Kaede's hut to get her things.

~ I was left to cry there

Nothing outside there

Grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decide…~

She stopped outside of Kaede's hut and wiped her face, hoping her eyes didn't give away what had happened. Kagome prepared a big grin and stepped in, surprising everyone.

"Where we ye, child?" Kaede asked.

"Oh, just walking around enjoying the air and everything," Kagome said lousily.

Sango's quizzical gaze met her face. She felt her face turning red.

"I… ummm… gotta go! We ran outta food, so I can go back home tonight and get some stuff for everyone. Plus, I can finally get some studying done and over with. So, I might be back in the afternoon tomorrow, see ya!" Kagome rambled. She bent and picked up her sleeping bag and book bag that were lying near Miroku.   

"Kagome-sama, where is Inuyasha? The last time we saw him, he was outside," Miroku asked. Now his violet orbs were staring into hers!

Well he still is out, and he has Kikyou to snuggle up with "What is with everyone?! Can't I just leave for a day without being fussed over with?" she snapped, mainly from the pressure he friends were giving to her.  

"Kagome-chan, we are just worried about you. You stepped out of the room for a minute and came back a whole hour later," Sango said, trying to calm her friend down.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I really worried if I'm going to last through high school with my grades," Kagome lied. (A/N- remember, it's been two years, and she made it into high school with passing grades)  

"It's fine Kagome. Just go home and get some sleep," Kaede ordered, stoking the fire.

"I will, Kaede-sama. Bye everyone," and with that, Kagome left.

"Why did Kagome say bye? She usually tells us when she's going to be back and leaves," Shippou said.

Kaede, Miroku, and Sango turned to look at the kitsune child.

"When you get older, we'll tell you," Sango told him.

He scoffed and said annoyingly, "How come I don't get to see or find out about alota stuff till I'm older?!" 

Kagome was, thankfully, half way out of the village. She had been running, pacing out her time.

~Why should I care

'Cause you weren't there

When I was scared

I was so alone

You need to listen

I'm starting to trip

I'm losing my grip

And I'm in this thing alone~

She hummed the song, trying to calm herself down. Breathe in, breathe out… whoever came up with that method is really naïve

Once she entered the Forest of Inuyasha, she took a wide berth around the Goshin No Boku and steadily paced on.

~Crying out loud

I'm crying out loud

Crying out loud

I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes

Open up wide~

She gasped as another wave of emotions struck her, sending her tripping over a small rock and hit a tree.

"Owww…" Kagome muttered as she rubbed her sore head.

If only Inuyasha could open his eyes wide, he would finally see things that he didn't see before. Like me… how I feel about him… what a major b@*$% Kikyou is…

She sighed and began to walk. In a few minutes, she entered the clearing in which the well stood.

This is where I first came… and this is where I'll leave. I'll just leave the jewel shards here, let the others find it, and let them finish the journey

Kagome sat on the ledge, staring down into the darkness. Her right hand grasped the Shikon shards, knuckles turning white.

I don't believe I'm actually going to leave… leave all this behind…

Her hand let go of the shards and she jumped, enveloped in the darkness of the well that sent her back home one last time.

A/N- Aren't I the nicest author to end like that? *Cackles evilly* Anyway, please review!!!
