Chapter 3: I Can Only Imagine
That night, Kagome snuggled up inside her sleeping bag, unfortunately, she had a hard time falling asleep. who doesn't? When Kagome finally did manage to close her eyes and go into a peaceful slumber, strange, unexpected dreams filled her mind.
Kagome sat all by herself in a small room, or what she thought was small, in total darkness. All except for one light fixture beaming down on her shivering body. She seemed to be wearing some sort of black gown that reached the floor and was strapless.
Out of the blue, another light flashed on and hovered over a silver haired hanyou a few feet in front of her. It was Inuyasha. Inuyasha wasn't dressed all fancy like her. He only wore his red fire rat kimono, like he always did. Kagome, for some odd reason, started to cry. That's when the song started, and Inuyasha began to sing, to...her...
"I can only imagine...what it will be like...when I walk...by your side..." piano played and surrounded the background of black, and Inuyasha walked slowly over to her, offering a hand out to help her up. She gladly accepted and she slowly got up, hand in his.
"I can only imagine...what my eyes will see...when your face...is before me...I can only imagine...I can only imagine..." Inuyasha continues to sing to her, his deep, golden eyes locked with her, big, blue eyes. Inuyasha then began to slow dance with her. The light fixtures beamed in together, only on the two dancers. Kagome had hard time thinking.
"Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus, war and all, be you stand? Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees, will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine..." Inuyasha sung and then dipped her down gently, they're faces just inches apart. "I can only imagine..."
The music grew slightly faster, but it was still a slow, gentle song. Inuyasha began ballroom dancing with her. All of the sudden the darkness soon became lighter, revealing somewhere deep in the forest, moon gleaming brightly above them.
"I can only imagine...when that day comes...when I find myself, standing in the sun. I can only imagine...what all I would do...is forever, forever worship you. I can only imagine...I can only imagine..." Inuyasha lifted a hand to her cheek. Kagome touched his hand with hers and smiled. He then slowly began to gently drag her deeper into the forest with his hand still to her face.
"Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus, war and all, be you stand? Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees, will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine...yeah...I can only imagine...yeah yeah yeah!" Inuyasha began to sing like a Broadway star, singing boldly and loudly. He placed his hands on her waist and he lifted her up as he sang the next chorus, and started to spin her around. Kagome closed her eyes and arched her back, head to the sky. She flew her hands back and she felt like she was flying.
"Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus, war and all, be you stand? Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees, will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine, I can only imagine, yeah, yeah! I can only imagine, yeah, yeah! I can only imagine!" Inuyasha held that last note for a few seconds, and then slid Kagome down to him so she was pressed against him. 'wow' Kagome thought. better be wow...god...jk! "I can only imagine...ooh yeah..." Inuyasha began to sing softer a quieter, just like he had done in the beginning of the song. The song got quieter, and now, just a piano was playing.
"I can only imagine..." He was now at a whisper. They were now, standing in front of the god tree, the place where Kagome first saw him. The lights faded away and now they were once again, standing under one spotlight together. Inuyasha placed his hand on her cheek again, swiping away a few strands of hair so he could see her eyes. He then bent down closer and closer to her face. Their noses touched each other they were that close.
"I can only imagine..." He whispered. "What all I would do, is forever, forever worship you. I can only imagine..." Inuyasha bent slightly a little more. She could now feel his breath upon her lips. "I can only imagine..." The last words of the song he sung were said on top of her lips. Inuyasha kissed her gently and she kissed back. Soon, the spotlight dimmed away and the music stopped. It was the end, the end of her dream...nay...fantasy...
Kagome opened her eyes, breathing heavily. The sleeping bag that was once around her was now sprawled out beside her. She searched around her without getting up, gazing at her surroundings.
Sango, Kirara, Shippou and Miroku were sound asleep, as well as Inuyasha who was sitting against the wall, facing her. His arms were crossed as were his arms, and he snored softly.
Kagome softly smiled. She quickly got up, grabbed her book bag, and flew out the door, racing with nobody in particular to the hot spring down the long, dirt trail.
