Part Two

(Echo by Trapt)

Inuyasha sat in his tree, trying to at least sleep, so he wouldn't have to think about Kagome and the well.

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by

There is no time to waste asking why

He wished that he could just find Kagome, and take her far, far away. Away from Naraku, away from the Jewel, everything.

I'll run away with you by my side

I'll run away with you by my side

He wished that he could have had the guts to tell Kagome that he was going to see Kikyo. But his brain wouldn't let him. His brain was telling him that she wouldn't care, but his heart knew differently.

I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride

Kagome takes out some of the pictures she took when she was in the feudal era. She looked at her favorite one, the one where Inuyasha had the craziest smile on his face, because he was holding a bowl of Ramen. She looks at those golden orbs of his. She remembers how whenever she was sad, or angry, just looking at those eyes made her forget everything.

I think about your face, and how I fall into your eyes

Inuyasha remembers all the fights he's had with Kouga. He never would allow Kouga to get away with calling Kagome his. Inuyasha probably wouldn't have cared, had he not had feelings for Kagome already. Although he could never get the courage to say those 3 words to her, he thought them all the same.

The outline that I trace, around the one that I call mine

Inuyasha wondered when Kagome decided to block the well. Was it when she first saw them together? Or was it just when she arrived at the well? He might not find out, ever.

A time that called for space, unclear where you drew the line

I don't need to solve this case, and I don't need to look behind

Kagome closed her eyes, desperately wanting sleep to take her, so she could fall into the black abyss and not think about Inuyasha and her friends.

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by

There is no time to waste asking why

She wished that she could run into Inuyasha's arms and feel safe, feel loved. She wished that Naraku, and all their enemies would just disappear, and her an Inuyasha could live, safe and happy in a small cabin somewhere.

I'll run away with you by my side

I'll run away with you by my side

Kagome knew that she could go back and see Inuyasha anytime she wanted, but she couldn't face him. She would just break down crying, and she wasn't ready for that. Or at least, that's what her brain told her.

I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride

Inuyasha knew that bye getting rid of Kikyo, he had changed all his future plans. He had wanted to live the life that he was going to live before Kikyo pinned him to the tree.

Do I expect to change the past I hold inside

He looks back over everything he has said to Kagome. He winces at the pain those words must have caused her. He wished he could take them all back.

With all the words I say repeating over in my mind

Some things you can't erase, no matter how hard you try

An exit to escape is all there is left to find

Kagome thinks about what would have happened if she hadn't fallen in the well. None of this pain would have happened. She would be a normal teenager, with good grades and good friends. But fate throws twists into your life at one point or another, and there's no point in going back.

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by

There is no time to waste asking why

Kagome finally just lets her head fall on her pillow. She falls asleep, exhausted from the events of that day.

I'll run away with you by my side

I'll run away with you by my side

In her sleep, her mind starts to wander, searching for memories of Inuyasha.

I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride

Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind

Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

Inuyasha leans back against the tree, and looks up into the night sky.

So I

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by

There is no time to waste asking why

Before he closes his eyes, he prays that Kagome will come back to them. He needed to see her smiling face again.

I'll run away with you by my side

I'll run away with you by my side

Soon he too, is asleep. His mind starts to look for Images of Kagome, to comfort him.

I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride

Then, they meet, although they are asleep, they find each other.

Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind

Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside


End of Part Two

Kagome: We seem really depressed in this story…

Inuyasha: Yeah, I'm kinda depressed now, just 'cause I was reading this story!

Me: don't worry, it will be happier! Kagome still has to come back to the feudal era, remember?

Kagome: Wait, I'm coming back? Are you nuts? I would LOVE to stay in my own era, away from Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: I feel so unloved!

Me: Hey, stop questioning my story! I get to write what I want!

Kagome: I'm going to have to rewrite this whole thing for you, jeez…

Me: Don't make me tie you up and throw you in my closet!

Kagome: fine, get back to writing, and make this part happier.

Me: I'm warning you, if you two don't stop trying to write my story for me, you will end up in my closet!

Inuyasha: Fine, we'll shut up!

A/N: And that's the end of part two! Don't forget to review! OK, only one more part to go…
