Haven't You?

For Inuyasha...
Up in the sky there are a few clouds,
Down on the ground there is a small breeze.
As the breeze flows through my hair,
Will I not just think of her?
The moon is falling into the sea,
And the sea is mourning.
This scene is too morose,
Will I not just think of her?
On the river flowers fall,
And are swept away in the rushing wind.
The dove is saying 'No hope, no hope'
Will I not just think of her?
The tree is bending in the cold wind,
The sky is lit upon with fire.
The sky is starting to become dead,
Will I not just think of her?

Kagome lay there, staring at the ceiling. How long had she been sleeping? It must have been awhile, since it was quite dark outside. Inuyasha nuzzled closer to her as she shifted her head.
She smiled slightly.
The sky is starting to become dead,
Inuyasha was sleeping right next to her on the bed, and although their position was as innocent as it could get, Kagome was still blushing. She loved the feel of the hanyou on her side. He was still fast asleep by the looks of it, and she was in no rush whatsoever to wake him. She wondered if he was dreaming about anything.
The sky is starting to become dead,
The sky is lit upon with fire.
Was he dreaming about her? Was he dreaming about Kikyou? He had not yet answered her question. "Haven't you...?" Kagome whispered quietly, thinking of what his answer may be.
Will I not just think of her?
"Haven't I what?" Kagome opened her mouth in a silent gasp and twisted her head to look at him. "Can't sleep?"
"No. Not really."
Inuyasha looked at her with a troubled expression. "What's wrong?"
I want to know.
I want to hear it.
"Oh... do you know how this all came to be?" Kagome asked, a smile playing on her words.
"...we didn't do anything! I swear!"
Kagome chuckled and sat up, stretching her arms. Inuyasha did likewise, but kept his eyes on her. "I know. I was asking you if you remembered what I had said to you to provoke all of this."
"...oh. That." Inuyasha's tone became somewhat pained.
On the river flowers fall,
And are swept away in the rushing wind.
"It's just that you never told me." Kagome shrugged nonchalantly, but in her mind she was flipping out.
I want to know.
I want to know.
"Kagome," Inuyasha began, "You asked if I ever thought about what would have happened if Naraku had not interfered. You asked 'haven't you?'. Do you want to know what my answer is?"
Kagome bit her lip and nodded.
As the breeze flows through my hair,
Will I not just think of her?
"My answer is no." Kagome stared at him. "No, don't look at me like that! I'm telling the truth, I swear it! I swear it on Sesshoumaru's grave!"
"But - "
"Soon enough. Kagome, Naraku has nothing to do with what the future Kikyou and I would have had. Sure, I thought about what would have happened if she had not died and I had not been shot. But what you ask is if I regret what happened. And the answer is no.
This scene is too morose,
Will I not just think of her?
"I will never wonder again about how life with Kikyou would have been. Most likely, we would have followed through and I would be human, and Kikyou an ordinary girl. We would have lived an ordinary life, and died an ordinary death. That was what we had hoped for. But it didn't happen.
The dove is saying 'No hope, no hope'
Will I not just think of her?
"I met you. Meeting you, seeing your clumsiness - "
"Hey!"
" - and everything that is so UNordinary about you has showed me that a life with Kikyou would have been nothing. In truth, I am partially grateful to have met you Kagome. I am. Truly.
I want to hear it.
I want you to say it.
"Right at the start, I wondered what would have happened. But I never once thought about going back to her. At least, not alive. Kagome. Would you rather live a life of just being here, with that stupid dull boy and your life as a shrine keeper, or would you have rather met us, met me, and everyone else?"
Kagome looked at him. "Of course. I would have rather met you."
"...there is no need for any other explanations is there?"
Kagome smiled and shook her head. Inuyasha exhaled. "Thank god! I already used up all my smart for the day!"
Kagome burst out laughing.
The moon is falling into the sea,
And the sea is mourning.
This scene is too morose,
Will I not just think of her?
As they prepared their materials and said their goodbyes, Kagome and Inuyasha headed towards the well.
"Um, Inuyasha?"
"What?"
I want you to know it.
I want you to hear it.
Inuyasha turned and looked at the girl. "What is it?"
Kagome shook her head, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. "Nothing."
"Keh. Stupid girl. Let's go." Kagome pouted but let it go as he grabbed her arm and they leapt into the well.
I want you to know it.
I want you to hear it.
...i love you...
