Eumaeus here, wishing everyone a happy New Year! This chapter is another songfic, most of you seem to like the music. All of the songs I have used thus far are on the critically acclaimed American Idiot CD, so go out and buy it, you cheap shmuck! Thanks for all the reviews, I'll address the reviewers at the end of this chapter.

Summer has come and passed,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rays of morning sunlight shone through the window, waking Kagome. "No… I didn't want to wake up yet…" Kagome reached for the blinds and slammed them shut, she rolled over and tried to get comfortable.
"Damnit…" She couldn't get settled now that she was awake. She chanced a glance towards the alarm clock beside her bed.
"Ugh… Nine-Thirty…" she mumbled.
"Kagome, now's not the time to sleep late…" she whispered to herself. With that, Kagome tossed the thin white sheet covering her aside, and sat upright, pulling several empty liquor bottles to the floor with her.
"My head… " She groaned…
"How much did I have to drink last night…?" Kagome rubbed her throbbing eyes, and massaged her temples. Bottles of liquor dotted the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Like my fathers come to pass,
Seven years has gone so fast,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kagome pulled herself up using her nightstand, and walked to the bathroom. She picked up her toothbrush, coated it in toothpaste and brushed hard. "Anything to get rid of this gasoline mouth…" She took a giant swig of mouthwash, and spat into the sink.
"Bastard… I bet he's with Kikyo now… Well fuck him, and fuck her…"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars,
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kagome looked at her eyes in the mirror, bloodshot and watery. "No, Kagome, no more crying over him…No more…crying … Godamnit!" Her eyes filled, and rivulets of hot tears ran down her cheeks once more.
"How could he do this to me!? I loved him… God I loved him so much…"
-----------------------------------------------------------
As my memory rests,
But never forgets what I lost,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
She walked out of her bathroom, took off her pajamas, and put on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.
"Fucker…" but even as she said that, she knew that deep in her broken heart, she still loved the half-demon. He was her first love, her first lover, and she also knew that none of those things were possible with him anymore. Not anymore…
-----------------------------------------------------------
Summer has come and passed,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"I'm not taking him back… Not now… Not ever…"
"Kinda funny how you can both love and hate someone at the same time, huh Kagome?" Sango leaned against the wall in her doorway.
"Sango?"
"I probably should have knocked, but I heard you in here crying, and the door was open…"
"Oh Sango…" Kagome ran up to and hugged Sango, burying her face into her shoulder.
"I heard about Inuyasha, and I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you…"
Kagome sat on her couch, and pulled a blanket over herself. Sango made a beeline for the refrigerator, grabbed a tub of chocolate ice cream and a spoon, then returned to Kagome.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ring out the bells again,
Like we did when spring began,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"A little chocolate ice cream always makes me feel better when I'm sad. I think you should have some Kagome, you look like you could use it." Sango smiled at her heartbroken friend.
"Thanks, Sango," Kagome smiled back.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars,
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are,
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Inuyasha!! Answer this door!!" Miroku pounded on the door to Inuyasha's apartment. " I know you are in there, you cheating bastard!"
"Wha…?"
Inuyasha lay barely awake on the bathroom floor, and it looked like a scene from a horror movie. Caked blood, glass, pills lay everywhere. And his hand screamed in bitter agony. Inuyasha looked down at it. It was still wrapped in a flimsy bandage, but there were shards of broken sticking out of it, and his hand. Inuyasha peeled off the gauze…
"Jesus…"
-----------------------------------------------------------
As my memory rests,
But never forgets what I lost,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
His hand looked like it had been caught in a meat grinder.
"I'M COMING IN INUYASHA!" Miroku forcefully shouldered the door open and stepped inside. He found Inuyasha lying in the bathroom.
The monk nearly vomited at the scene he stood in. "Oh my god… Where'd all the blood… and why are you… and… Jesus… You are going to a hospital right now!"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Summer has come and passed,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha looked at his fucked-up hand, then gazed at the stunned monk with empty looking eyes. "I don't feel like living anymore…"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Like my father's come to pass,
Twenty years has gone so fast,
Wake me up when September ends,
Wake me up when September ends,
Wake me up when September ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for reading! Drop me a review if you feel like it. Now to the reviewers!
Karmarox: Thanks a bunch! I really like Green Day too, but I may have to throw in songs from another band soon, but I promise that you will like'em!
Fiona-Angel: Yep, all the songs are on the CD. Well worth the 15 bucks. Thanks for the nice input.
Krazy-Kilala: I know exactly what you mean, I'm kinda tired of the live happily ever after stories you always see. But who knows, maybe mine will end happily… or maybe not… you'll just have to wait and see!
Punkgoddess: Thanks for reading my fanfic, I'm gonna keep writing as long as people keep reading. D
Ama-chan: Aww, shucks, you made me blush. You're right, I kinda nailed myself into the AU hole. I guess I imagined that after finding the skikon jewel, the gang would live with Kagome in the modern era. Your review was not overbearing, and your suggestions were not weird at all. I really appreciate your feedback, and they are always welcome.
I'm gonna try to advance the plot a lil bit next chapter, maybe even have Kagome and Inuyasha meet face to face. Who knows what'll happen then… Hell, I don't even know yet.
Happy New Year everyone!
