Chapter 10- Hey Dad look at me.
I laid there in Inu Yasha's embrace thinking about what I had gained in becoming his friend. He may have been just my friend because I changed the way I looked but I still loved him nonetheless.
"What are you thinking about?" I heard Inu Yasha ask from behind me and I turned my gazed to meet his.
"Nothing really, you wouldn't understand" I lied rolling over out of his embrace so I would be looking out the window.
"You're lying, what is it?" he asked making me face him.
"It's nothing, I promise," I lied again kissing him before standing up, " I got to go, bye Inu Yasha."
I jumped out his window as fast as I could so he couldn't catch me and ran through the wood behind the house. I didn't want him to know about what I was thinking, I mean, how would you feel if the person you liked only liked you back because you changed. I made it to the lake and quickly jumped over it clearing it easily.
"KAGOME!" Inu Yasha yelled following me.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled back to him as I continued to run away. I ended up tripping over something and fell but I quickly recovered and looked ahead to see none other than Youko fighting with Naraku. Naraku threw a sword at Youko when he was off guard causing it to pierce his heart. Youko couldn't dodge it.
"If I must die I'm bringing you to hell with me!" he yelled forming his whip as he also pierced Naraku's heart and they both fell over, dead.
"YOUKO!" I cried running to him. I heard Inu Yasha behind me but I didn't care as I cradled Youko's dead body against me, "you can't die on me again, don't you get it! I need you!"
"Kagome," Inu Yasha whispered to me but I didn't respond.
"I need you here with me, I need to know you are alright!" I cried as Inu Yasha came up behind me and pulled me against his chest.
"It's going to be alright baby, I swear," he soothed rubbing my back as I cried into his chest, "let him go, you need to forget about him, he died so long ago, don't you understand? He doesn't want you to cry over him anymore!"
"Your right, but it still hurts to know that he was my only friend," I sobbed turning in his embrace crying into his chest. He sat there and aloud me to cry for a while until I stood up and walked over to the dead body of Youko. I removed the pendant necklace from my neck and put it around his, "remember when we were little? You gave it to me to protect me from my father, I want you to have it back."
"Kagome," Inu Yasha whispered as I walked back over to him with a fake smile on my face.
"Let's go," I said as he nodded. He put his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him as I laid my head on his chest.
"You going to be alright?" he asked.
" Hopefully," I said as we walked back to Miroku's house. Inside there was a CD playing that sounded familiar? There was a guy solo and it sounded just like Kurama. I ran over to the CD player and found a note taped to it.
Kagome,
I never got to give you your 15th birthday present, well, here it is. Remember the time we went to the recording studio to get a CD made of us singing? Well, if you don't then this will refresh your memory. Well, when you get this I will most likely be dead... again. I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart and you have to learn to let me go. I know you love Inu Yasha and I also know that you think he like's you just because you changed, but your wrong. Just trust yourself and no one can hurt you. I did what I had to do and you know this for a fact so please don't cry over me. Until we meet again in paradise, much love my best friend.
Your Lover (just kidding)
Kurama/ Youko
I couldn't help but smile when I read the note and Inu Yasha placed a hand on my shoulder reading the note with a smile on his face. I heard footsteps upstairs and looked over to the staircase to see Sango looking down at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as she walked down to me.
"Your coming over to my house," she stated pulling me upstairs with her.
" But..." I was cut off when she grabbed some of my clothes and packed them in my bag before I could say anything and pulled me back downstairs to a waiting Inu Yasha.
"Lets go, I'll drive to the club," he said as I turned around to face Sango.
"Club??" I questioned looking at her oddly.
"Of course, where else would we go?" she said dragging me to Inu Yasha's car and pushing me into the front seat. I growled a bit but put my seatbelt on as she drove off.
"You need some fun in your life, your boring," she stated as I looked at her. If anything my life wasn't boring, being chased by a psycho wasn't my idea of boring. We pulled into the teen club and I got out of the car with Inu Yasha by my side.
"Let's get this over with," I stated as we showed our passes and went inside to the dance floor. An upbeat song was playing as Inu Yasha pulled me to the dance floor as we moved to the beat. Sango came up to us with Miroku and joined us on the floor. I looked around as I danced with Inu. I couldn't believe whom I saw there. It kind of looked like my little brother Souta but I hadn't seen him since I was around 7.
"Kagome?" Inu Yasha questioned me as I suddenly stopped.
"Huh, oh, it's nothing, just thought I saw someone is all," I stated as we started dance again. We dance for a while until a guy got on stage and announced that it was Karaoke time and a few people got up and started to sing. Some of the people really sucked and I couldn't help but hold my ears.
" Come one Kagome," I heard Inu Yasha say pulling me towards the stage.
"What?" I questioned as he pulled me up to stage with him. I looked at him as if he was crazy as he took the mic into his hand after handing me one. A song started and I knew exactly what it was. The song was called 'Perfect' by Simple Plan as Inu Yasha started to sing. It took me a second to comprehend that I should be singing so I started to.
Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
my time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be
My hero?
All the days
You spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't
Care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing' alright
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Nothing's gonna change
The things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this
Right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
When the song ended I looked at the crowd as they clapped and screamed. I looked over at Inu Yasha who looked at me with a smile as we jumped off of the stage together about to walk to the door but someone stopped us.
"That was really good!" he exclaimed as I looked up to see the guy I was looking at before.
"Um, thanks!" I said in a questioning tone of voice.
"Oh sorry, my name is Souta," he said as I gasped.
"Kagome," I said shaking his hand as an older guy walked up. I already knew who it was and I quickly hid behind Inu Yasha as he looked at me weirdly, "that's my dad."
"Holy crap, it's a small world after all," he stated as the man sized up Inu Yasha.
"Dad, cut it out," Souta said as he nodded.
"May I help you?" Inu Yasha questioned grabbing my hand.
"I was just looking for my son is all," he stated placing a hand on Souta's shoulder.
"He looks a little young to be here," Inu said as the man nodded.
"He didn't have anyone at home to watch him so he followed my wife and I," he said looking at me still hiding behind Inu, "well, hello there."
"Hi," I managed out stepping aside a bit.
"What's your name?" he questioned sticking his hand out for a handshake.
"Kagome," I stated taking his hand.
"Will," he said looking down at me, "have we met before?"
"It's a pretty big world," I said stepping out from behind Inu Yasha as he placed an arm around my waist.
"Higurashi!" I heard someone hiss as I whipped around to see none other than Kikyo.
"May I help you?" I heard Will question as Kikyo turned to him.
"This has nothing to do with you old man," she snapped as my jaw dropped. She just called my father an old man!!
" You said Higurashi, last time I check that was my last name little girl," he stated as another lady walked over placing her arm around Will's waist.
"Kikyo, go away," I stated.
"You stole my boyfriend Higurashi, that's something I can never forgive," she said throwing a punch but I easily grabbed it. I dug my nails into her hand as she started to cry out in pain.
"Having problems?" my father questioned looking at me.
"No big," I said kicking her feet out from under her.
"Way to be Kag," Inu said as I let go of Kikyo and looked over to Will.
"You don't happen to know a Naraku do you?" Will asked as I looked away.
"My evil demented step dad? Yeah I know him, had to live with him for a bit, bye" I stated walking to the parking lot without another word. Everyone in my group ran after me and floored it once in the car. We all looked at each other and stated to laugh as Sango drove off toward her house. Once at her house we ran down to her basement and turned on the TV.
"Well, I better get going," Inu said kissing my lips before leaving not even giving me a chance to kiss him back.
"Okay," I whispered watching him walk away. I stared at the door for a while until I felt a pillow hit me in the face and I looked over to see Sango laughing at me, "what?"
I threw the pillow back at her and we ended up getting into a massive pillow fight as we finally got tired and laid down.
"You like our Inu-baby don't you?" Sango questioned as I looked at her confused.
"Inu-baby?" I questioned as she laughed.
"It's what Kikyo calls him and we all get a kick out of it," she explained as I snickered a bit.
"Well then, I do like your Inu-baby, what are you going to do about it?" I questioned as she just smiled.
"Wouldn't you like to know," she shot back.
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know," I said stating an obvious fact.
"I'll never tell," she whispered making me laugh.
"That's from that show called don't say a word, good movie," I said as she nodded.
"Come on, we better get some sleep," she said throwing me a pillow as I laid down on it and instantly fell asleep. When I woke up I realized I was in my Hanyou form with Sango looking at me, "now I get it, cool."
"What are you looking at?" I questioned as she started to laugh.
"Right, lets get something to eat sleepyhead," she stated as I changed back to my human form and walked up the stairs following her.
"So, what are we going to do today?" I questioned taking a bite of the piece of toast.
"We are going to go to the river dam, it's a good walk and we will be able to talk," she said as I nodded. After we ate we got ready to go and started the long walk to the dam. We got there and saw that it was overflowed because of so much rain we had been having and enjoyed the site before walking home. I didn't realize it had gotten to be so late because it was 9 at night. I went home and went to bed so I wouldn't be tired for school the next day. That night I slept like a baby and I couldn't help but think of the new friends I had made. I knew that they would be true to me.
"Hey, wake up," I heard someone say as I looked up to see Miroku smirking.
"What do you want?" I questioned as he smirked.
"Just waking you up for school," he said walking out of my room. I quickly got dressed in a blood red tank top shirt that said 'Keep staring, I might do a trick' with a pair of black baggy pants with my sandals. I quickly got in my car and drove off to school. I made it on time as I went to my locker. I spotted Sango looking at someone with a shocked face as I turned to what she was staring at. My jaw dropped at what I saw.
