LoneShikonKitsune: Sorry it took so long to update this story...It took me a while to write this one because I kept on getting off track with my other stories. But anyway seeing as my last song fic sorta ended in a cliffhanger...I made a sequel...sort of like the next chapter I guess. So I decided to make this a collection of my song fics (Oh and the name Sing the Sorrow is off of my AFI Cd....Don't sue not my idea!) I hope you like this one, I choose the song Taking over me By Evanescence...great song. It pretty much switches from Kagome to Inuyasha between the lyrics...except for the first and last paragraph...those two are sorta like second person...I think its second person...(hey its summer I forget these things!) So yeah here it is....
Once again ' ' is thinking and " " is talking (I hope you know that already)
Taking over me
The moonlight poured in through the open window in the girl's bedroom. The light illumined the shadows of her face as she slept peacefully, oblivious of the creature watching over her. A gentle wind sweeps through the window, disturbing the curtains the slightest bit. She curls into a tighter ball under the sheets, her expression tenses then fades as she returns to her sleepy state. A boy stood across from the bed, watching her every movement, staring, as if she would do something unexpected. He moved with the utmost care as not to wake the sleeping girl. Closer he stepped, until he was inches from her face, until he could feel the shallow breaths on his cheek, until he could feel the warmth off her body. Inuyasha gently brushed back a stray hair with his fingers from Kagome's face as she slept. He watched her sleep, thinking how beautiful she was, how her scent smelt so good. He had missed that scent so much. Suddenly she stirred and quickly he stepped back. He looked behind him to the table and saw the small glass bottle with the two jewel shards, remembering what he was really here for. The wind blew through the window again and she stirred. Inuyasha jumped out from the window and slipped the bottle into his kimono, looking up at the open window, remembering Kagome's scent.
You don't remember me
But I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard
Not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do...
Kagome awoke the morning to a chill in the room. Slowly she opened her eyes, brushing her dark hair from her face as she gently sat up. The events of last night's dreams entered her mind once more. The dream was peaceful; it wasn't a bad one or a good one. It was herself and Inuyasha in a field, alone in a field, alone with no one to come between them, alone without the conflict of the Shikon no Tama, without Naraku, Kikyo or Kouga. Just them enjoying the company of each other as naturally as it came. Alone. That's all Kagome wanted. Not to be alone in the world, not to be alone with Inuyasha, just simply to be alone, in the nothingness that she felt. Inuyasha truly did love Kikyo, she was his first love after all. 'First Love.' Those words seemed foreign to her as she repeated them mentally in her head. Inuyasha had been her first love, and he had probably never known it, never known how hurt she was all those times she saw him with Kikyo, all those times she stayed by his side as he was hurt by the things Kikyo had said. She sighed, pushing the sheets over her lap and moving her legs to the side of her bed to get up. Blaming what happened on Kikyo wasn't going to help her, 'What's wrong with me?' she never has been this bitter before. Looking to the desk across from her bed she gasped. Something wasn't there. Lowering her head she let out another sigh, gazing out the open window 'Oh Inuyasha...'
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you, to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Inuyasha walked through the dark forest leading from the well. The moonlight cast eerily against the trees, causing shadows to interrupt his thinking. What was he thinking about? Kagome. Her face still imprinted on his mind, her look of pure sadness, anger, pain, defeat. As much as he tried he couldn't get that picture out of his mind, of her face as she stared at him, as he walked away from Kikyo to her, as the unexplained tears sprung from her eyes before she turned into the well. He stopped walking as he turned to see the lone structure on the hill. Fireflies circled the well blissfully, illumining the dark ridges in the wood. Inuyasha knew that this time Kagome was never going to come back, even if he did take the shards from her. He took the small bottle from the sleeve of his kimono once again, turning from the well and walking ahead, the glass in front of him. He could never tell the others the true reason he took the shards. Secretly he had hoped Kagome would return for them, or return to bring everyone her modern healing items, or maybe just a small amount of that delicious food they called ramen. Never would he see her again, never would he be silently re-energized by her presence at his battlefield, wherever that may be. Never again would he see her smile, hear her laugh, or see her scowl when he did something stupid. Never would he feel warm inside when she embraced him, when she attended his wounds, or when she held his hand through the hard times. Never would he have the chance to tell her how he really felt. His ears flickered as he heard rustling in the bushes nearby.
Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
[1] The warm sunshine welcomed Kagome as she stepped out of the Higarashi (spelling?) household. She straightened out her uniform, ready for a new day at school. Something to keep her mind off of Inuyasha. She had known that he had taken her jewel shards the previous night. 'He really doesn't want me to be with him...' she walked past the staircase leading up to the well, stopping and taking a glance at the small structure that it was located in, wondering what he was doing right now. Wondering if he was thinking of her. Suddenly something caught her attention, like a wave of energy crashed into her. The presence of a jewel shard, she felt it strong, but she wasn't close to the well. She looked around, seeing if there was anything around that could have caused the unexplainable feeling of the shards. Like the many other times demons escaped to her era. There was nothing around that could be it. She turned towards the well again, that's where it was the closest. 'No, I can't go back. Inuyasha doesn't want be back.' She convinced herself as she took a step forward, away from the stair case leading up to the well. As she took another step, horrific things came into her mind. What if Inuyasha was in trouble? If the reason for why the presence of the shards was so strong because there was a powerful demon, more powerful than Naraku after him. What if he was hurt, in pain, or even...'No' she stopped herself there. She turned again towards the staircase, the feeling of the jewel shard becoming unbearable. Dropping her school bag she took a running start up the stairs towards the temple as more things came into her mind for the reason of the shards. 'Just one peek, he wont even have to see me. I just need to see for myself that he's ok.'
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you, to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Inuyasha spun around as something leaped from the bushes near him. He slid the jar with the jewel shards back in his kimono sleeve. A familiar scent drifting past his nose. "Kikyo" he sneered as the priestess revealed herself. "You don't look happy to see me Inuyasha." She said with a slight smirk on her face. "What do you want?" something about her nature wasn't right. "I have come to take your life. My plan worked to get that girl away." Inuyasha's eyes narrowed "You. You made Kagome go away?" he growled at her. "Yes, that day when I kissed you, I knew she was watching." He gasped. 'That's why she left. But I told Kikyo that I loved Kagome. Didn't she hear that?' Kikyo took a step closer to him as her smirk grew at the expression on Inuyasha's face. The expression her soul urned to see. Shock. "That girl won't interfere with my plan to get rid of you this time Inuyasha." She warned. Inuyasha took a step back. Kikyo was right, with Kagome out of the way Kikyo was the only one that could use the sacred arrows against him. Miroku, Sango and Shippo were long gone. Kagome was the only person that could save him now. He knew that he could never make himself kill Kikyo, even if the figure in front of him wasn't the real thing. The way he was feeling now didn't help him. 'What am I thinking? Kagome would never come back after what she saw. Oh Kagome if I could just turn this all around...I could just let Kikyo kill me...I have no reason to live if Kagome hates me...' Kikyo took another step towards him as her hand started to rise to her back where the arrows were. But the thing that didn't make sense to her was that Inuyasha wasn't moving. He was staring blankly at the ground, this was going to be no fun for her if he didn't put up a fight. But something make Inuyasha's head snap up. A familiar sent was barley coming to him. 'No...it couldn't it?'
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are
Like just like you are taking over
Kagome walked down the steps to the well as she closed the door behind her. The jewel shards were becoming stronger as she peered over the well. She felt herself start to panic as much as she didn't want to. Carefully she slid her legs over the side of the well and let herself fall to the dirt below. It was only few seconds until the atmosphere around her became a purple color as she felt her feet leave the ground. A few seconds later and she felt her feet return to the ground and all around her was darkness. She stood up dusting herself off. The jewel shards were becoming crystal clear to her know. There were at least 10, no 15. No 20! There were more as she concentrated harder. She climbed up to the top of the well, being careful not to be seen. Inuyasha still didn't want to see her or so she thought. 'I only came here to make sure he was ok...just to see for myself...' She rested her elbows on the edge of the well looking around her. It was dark, but it was almost a full moon she noticed as she looked up into the sky. The moonlight cast shadows in the forest, which didn't make her feel comfortable. Even after she had faced the scariest of demons, little things like shadows at night scared her. But those demons were a different story. She felt perfectly safe with Inuyasha. Suddenly she heard the sounds of voices coming from the forest interrupted her thoughts. Her heart wrenched as she saw the beings that were talking. Inuyasha and Kikyo. It took all her courage not to cry, as she kept there, frozen. She still hadn't gotten out of the well but was only using her arms to push herself up. Frozen, she couldn't move as much as she wanted to. She decided to listen to them quietly, although something inside her didn't want to know anymore about Kikyo and Inuyasha. Suddenly Inuyasha looked up and towards her direction. She gasped loudly, ducking in cover from the well, silently praying that he didn't see her.
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you, to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Inuyasha stared in disbelief at the sight before him. Kagome was there, at the well. Her scent was welcoming, refreshing. Kikyo saw him looking at something from over her shoulder; she turned to the well and her eyes narrowed. 'That wrench...' Inuyasha kept his gaze on Kagome as she ducked down into the well. Kikyo laughed haughty to herself, making Inuyasha look back at her. She pulled something from the sleeve of her kimono that made him gasp. It was the Shikon Jewel...and it was nearly complete. "How did you?" Inuyasha managed to stutter out. 'Those jewel shards...is that why Kagome came?' Kikyo smirked to herself at Inuyasha "Naraku handed this over to me, intending for me to use it to kill you. But he is a fool, I do not need this to kill you. After I do kill you and complete the Shikon Jewel, I will destroy it once and for all." She looked at him, her eyes gleaming with vengeance. "You will never get your chance to become full demon, or human as you told me before." Inuyasha's eyes narrowed at her as he felt himself become suddenly stronger both mentally and physically. Kikyo turned her head to the well. "And that girl won't get in the way, I shall kill her before I slay you." Inuyasha let out a low growl "You wont lay a hand on Kagome." She looked back to Inuyasha as she grabbed an arrow from the holder on her back (Gomen! I don't know what that is called...if there is a name for it...) Kikyo drew her bow, placing the feathered tip in the middle of the bow (Gomen!!! I dunno what the string thing is called! ::major sweatdrop:: I should have done my research...) Kikyo sneered at Inuyasha as he looked again to the well, as much as she didn't want to admit it, she felt the tiniest bit of jealousy. Inuyasha saw Kagome peer over the edge of the well. He glanced back to Kikyo seeing what she was doing. 'I can't let her hurt Kagome...and if she kills me Kagome would get hurt anyway...How can I stop this?'
You're taking over me
Kagome sighed to herself, closing her eyes as she pulled herself up to peek over the edge. She let out a gasp as Kikyo pulled something from her sleeve that looked like the Shikon Jewel. 'So that's what I was feeling...but why does she have it?' Her questions were soon answered as she listened to her tell Inuyasha about Naraku. She listened in shock as Kikyo confessed her plan to kill Inuyasha, and how Inuyasha stood up for her when Kikyo said she was going to kill her. "Inuyasha." She suddenly pushed herself up out of the well sub consciously, still keeping her eyes on the two. She had to do something to stop Kikyo. But what? Suddenly she saw Kikyo turn to her readying her arrow. Inuyasha stood behind her still, his head was down, fists clenched. Kagome stood her ground, thinking of what she should do, but it all happened so fast. Kikyo pulled the arrow back in one swift movement, aiming for Kagome. "Kagome, no!" Inuyasha quickly sent his hand spiraling into Kikyo's arm, causing her to move off aim as she let the arrow go. The arrow landed by Kagome's feet, her eyes wide at the scene that just happened, Inuyasha struck Kikyo. Kagome was starting to get confused, Inuyasha had stuck up for her before, but why? 'I thought he loved her...why is he protecting me?' He kept a straight face as some blood trickled down his hand as it was grasped tightly around Kikyo's arm. She snarled and pulled away reaching for another arrow. Only this time Inuyasha was too slow to stop her. The arrow was quickly put into place and sent at Kagome. Kagome quickly dropped to the ground; Inuyasha heard her body hit the ground as he turned his head over to her. "Kagome...It can't be..." His eyes widened as she got up slowly. She sat up seeing there was another arrow next to her in the ground. She had ducked in time to only get a scratch in her arm. Kikyo growled lowly "You wench...This time I wont miss..." her voice trailed off as she grabbed another arrow, aiming at the dark haired girl on the ground before her.
[1] Sorry I tried to remember the best I could about what Kagomes house looked like and what the shrine to the well place looked like! Wasn't there a staircase leading up to the well? Oh well there is now!
LoneShikonKitsune: Well what did you think? Hehe that time I left a cliffy...don't worry I do plan on writing another to finish it off...I just need to find the right song to go with it...So I'll try really hard to update sooner than I did this time!
