Chapter 4: Why Can't I
Kagome slipped herself into the hot spring after getting herself undressed. She let out a sigh of comfort as the warm, soothing bubbles massaged her body. She reached back behind her for her radio on the rock that she was leaning against. Fortunately, she had brought extra batteries this time, considering the fact that she hadn't stopped listening to her beloved music.
Kagome stuck in the cd Liz Phair was again and pushed the buttons until it played the song, "Why Can't I". The music began to play and she closed her eyes and relaxed.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha had awoken just as Kagome had left hurriedly for the spring and chased after her. He wasn't spying on her. He was just worried. He was also considerate enough not to look while she undressed and waited for her to sigh, indicating that she was in the water. He hid behind a large bush, peering through the spaces in between the leaves and branches. Now this...was defiantly spying.
'I need to know why she had left the hut so early in morning, especially since I had heard her awaken, though...she didn't notice...' He thought, gazing at her fooling around with her "cd" player.
Inuyasha almost jumped in the air when he heard the music start, but he quickly calmed himself down so Kagome wouldn't notice him freaking out.
Kagome then began to sing along to the words of the song. Inuyasha kept a straight face, as if not to be interested. though we all know he totally is! He finally directed his attention to her as she sang the words, thinking that she was singing to him.
"Get a load of me, get a load of you, walking down the street and I hardly know you. It's just like we were meant to be. Holding hands with you, when we're out at night. Got a girlfriend. You say it isn't right. And I've got someone waiting too." Kagome opened her eyes and sung louder. Crazy thoughts raced through Inuyasha's head as the song played.
' What's a street? But you do know me enough, don't you? Are we meant to be together? I want to hold hands with you! Girlfriend? Kikyou...SHE'S GOT SOMEONE ELSE TOO!?' Emotions flashed across Inuyasha's face. Too bad no one was around to see it happening. Kagome continued to sing.
"Wanting this is just the beginning, we're already wet and we're gonna go swimming! Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you? Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you? It's inevitable, it's the fact that we're gonna get down to it, so tell me! Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?" As just the music was playing Kagome rested her head on the rock again and whispered softly. Good thing Inuyasha had a great sense of hearing or else he wouldn't have been able to hear her comment. "Oh...Inuyasha..." Inuyasha's mouth dropped and he almost fainted.
'She is singing about me...' He thought, surprised. Kagome closed her eyes once again.
"Isn't this the best part of breaking up, finding someone else you can't get enough of? Someone who wants to be with you too? It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch, gonna take a while for this egg to hatch. But wouldn't it be beautiful? Here we go we're at the beginning. We haven't screwed yet but my heads spinning!" Kagome opened her eyes again and sung louder also. Inuyasha just stared at her.
"Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you? Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you? It's inevitable, it's the fact that we're gonna get down to it, so tell me! Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?" Kagome sung and she continued with the song, getting out of the spring and reaching for her towel. Inuyasha tried not to peek, but, obviously...
Kagome wrapped her towel around her and tied her hair up in a ponytail again. She didn't leave. She just continued to sing aloud, dancing and twirling around, like she always did.
"High enough for you to make me wonder, where it's going. High enough for you to pull me under, something's growing." Kagome kept singing she then took the radio and turned it off. Inuyasha was a little disappointed, but, Kagome kept singing without the music, and beautifully too.
The song just repeated the chorus twice more, and then Kagome stopped singing. She then slowly walked down the long trail, talking to herself. Inuyasha followed up in the trees, listening contently.
"That idiot...he obviously doesn't have any idea that I have strong feelings for him...he probably forgot that I told him I desired him a few months ago. Sometimes...no...all the time...I just wish...no... if I wish something like that...I...I just don't know what to think. He is still in love with Kikyou...my incarnation... but...why? As of now, she's just a pile of dirt and bones... and yet, he can't look at me like he does her..." Kagome sighed in sadness and slumped up the hill towards the hut.
'Crap...' Inuyasha thought. 'She's almost there! I have to get there before she finds out I went after her!' He quickly pounced faster than he had ever before. He didn't want Kagome to be mad at him. He was almost invisible he was leaping so fast. He finally made it inside. Everyone was still, fast asleep. Inuyasha crept to where he had been before, and pretended like he was asleep as well.
Kagome then walked in, still in her towel. She took a quick glance at Inuyasha before retreating to the back room to change. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief. He kept his eyes closed...still wondering about what Kagome had said while walking back to the hut.
'She does love me...all this time... I had ignored her feelings... and she thinks that I still desire Kikyou... I will never forget about Kikyou... but Kagome is all I have... I will never be able to get Kikyou back...' He thought and sighed again before returning back into a peaceful, deep, sleep.
