Yet another one shot… And if you guessed it was a song fic you were right! Its based on the song Whenever I Run by Keith Urban. It's a really good song… The CD is called Golden Road. I highly recommend it… But anyway, on with the fic!
Whenever I Run
"Kagome… Please don't go…" The two stood before the well, both near to loosing control over their hidden emotions. They hated to part, but neither was willing to admit their feelings for the other. They both knew how things would turn out- Kagome would go home and never come back again. It was an unspoken rule- he would ask her to stay and she would refuse. But this time it was different. This… This was forever.
"Inuyasha…" She took a deep breath and held back her tears. "I have to go. The jewel is complete. You don't need me anymore-"
"Yes I do!" he shouted furiously, clenching his fists in a desperate attempt to keep his feelings in check.
"Nani?"
Inuyasha sighed. "Oh, Kagome…" He took a step forward and brushed a stray strand of hair from her eyes. "You're the only one who has ever accepted me for who I am. You've always been there for me, no matter what I did or said."
"Inuyasha…" She gave him a small, pained smile. "That's because you're my friend. And that's what friends do for each other."
He took another step forward and gathered her into his arms. "Oh Kagome," he whispered in her ear, his warm breath making her skin tingle, "I want to be so much more than friends…"
Kagome's breath caught in her throat. "Wha-"
But he cut her off. "Kagome… You have no idea how much you mean to me." His mind was in turmoil. He couldn't lose her… But how could he convince her of how much she meant to him? He buried his face in the miko's hair and sang the first song that came to mind. It amazed him how analogous it was to their current situation…
I've seen that darkness on the edge of town
The sun come up and the rain fall down
And I've been a fool, yeah I've been around
And when the world got too much for me
I took off and left a memory
Thinking I'd find something better for me somehow
Oh but now
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I'll find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
I used to quit when it got too tough
Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck
But baby you mean too much to me
So now
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I'll find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
I never could stay in one place too long
I never could stand that still
Ah but you changed so much in me
And now I know I will
I'm gonna stay where the love is right
I'm so tired of being a bird in flight
Good love takes work
Ah but that's alright
That's alright
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I'll find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
You're the only one
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I'll find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
The one I run to
The one I run to Tears flowed freely down Kagome's cheeks. "Oh, Inuyasha…" She clung to his haori as if he was all she had left in the world. "I… I love you, too. Please, don't ever leave me…""I promise," he whispered. "We'll be together forever."
"Forever… I like the sound of that," she said softly, as he brushed the last of her tears from her face.
"Don't get used to it," a new voice said from deep in the forest. "Neither of you have long to live…"
"Where are you?" Inuyasha cried. "Show yourself!"
The figure stepped into the light, and the two gasped. Kagura?!?!
O.o Wow. Guess it's not a one-shot anymore, huh? I didn't intend it to be that way… Oh well. Review! Oh, yea, FYI, don't get mad at me if I don't update for a while. My computer is completely shutting down and I'm trying to upload all the fics I've started so I don't lose them (that's why this isn't revised very well and the content is a bit lame). My floppy doesn't work and my hard drive is about to crash… It'll be about two or three weeks till I get a new computer. So yea… Review!
