"Talking"

'Thinking'

Lyrics

Flashbacks

Chapter 1:

Twenty year old Kagome Higurashi was laying down on her sleeping bag in a small, dark, and empty cave. She had been without the 'Scoobie' gang, she had so fittingly dubbed her friends, for two years now.

She had stayed with Kouga, had him train her. Now she could handle the wilderness alone. She had worked hard over those two years, honing her Miko skills... She had all of the jewel... All except the small piece that the Inu gang still possessed.

She had waited for this time. She was finally going to see him again. And this time, he wasn't gonna walk all over her.

Some days are better

They're better than others

Can't run forever

You're pushing me under

What a way to live my life

Im hiding from the battles

I don't want to fight

What i've become

Kagome had changed in so many ways. Looks, attitude. Every single way. She wasn't a naive little girl anymore.

Her hair was just beneath her shoulders, colors of blue, pink, and purple highlighting it. Her body was now fully developed. She wore cloths to show it off. Right now, in the hot ninety degree weather, she wore hot pants and a white wife beater.

It was going to be daylight soon. Time to get moving, if she wanted to catch up with her 'friends'.

'Friends? Ha.' Kagome thought, amused. She had watched them for weeks now. They didn't seem to miss her. Kikyo was with them now. She still wouldn't give Inuyasha the time of day though. She didn't get along with Sango, Shippou hated her, and Miroku couldn't stand the sight of her.

'Serves the bitch right.' Kagome thought, gathering her things. She still had her worn, and tattered yellow back pack. With plenty of ramen. It had become her favorite... Since she left.

And now it's going grey

All the lines are blurring and decayed

I can't recall exactly who's to blame...

Anymore

Kagome had trained all around the world. Becoming the women she thought she should be.

Kagome followed twenty feet behind Sango. Watching as the gang wandered. Until finally... KIkyo spoke up.

"I sense a shard, half-breed." She sneered at Inuyasha.

"Where at Miko slut?" Inuyasha growled. Kagome chuckled. She had grown used to hearing their bickering.

"Behind us. About twenty, twenty five feet behind us." She said.

Inuyasha growled.

"I thought I would have sensed a demon by now."

"Oh Inuyasha... I am deeply shamed. I am not a demon. I would have figured you would have smelled me by now." Kagome laughed, stepping out of the shadows.

Is it me or is it you?

Something isn't right

Of all the things that we could do

We just wanna fight

Someday I will find the courage to embrace you

Someday I will find the strength to erase you

"K - Kagome?" Shippou's tearful response reached her ears.

"Yea honey. It's mommy. Come here." She said, holding her arms out to him.

Shippou jumped from his place in Sango's arms and ran towards Kagome.

"Inuyasha said you d-died!"

"Well Inuyasha's a silly hanyou. He doesn't know a thing." Kagome cooed as she rocked Shippou in her arms.

"How Kagome-chan? Inuyasha said he saw you fall to your death..." Sango said in disbelief.

Kagome chuckled and smirked. "I had planned it." She said softly.

"I needed to grow up. Im sorry that I frightened you Sango. But a girl's gotta do, what she's gotta do."

"Give me the shard, Kagome." Inuyasha said, still shocked.

"Make. Me." She said the two words slowly.

Some days I think I'm nothing without you

Sometimes I wish that I could just kill you

What a way we live our lives

It's hard to breathe

It feels like I'm infected by my dad's disease

"Well? Im waiting." Kagome said, pulling her hair into a high ponytail.

"What's wrong with you!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Nothing. Im just here to collect the shards. After all, the jewel is mine." She smirked again.

"I refuse to fight you. I'll end up killing you."

"Bullshit. Im sorry Inuyasha, but Im not defenseless anymore. Bring it." She said, motioning him to her.

"Where are your shards?" He asked her, and she pulled a silver chain out of her shirt.

"Yours?" She questioned.

Sango held up a gold chain.

"After I beat your ass, Im talking the shards. And then maybe, I'll let you tag along with me."

"No. After I beat your ass, Im taking the shards. And you will come with me." Inuyasha growled.

Inuyasha couldn't help it. His demon called out to her, his human was attracted to her. She was his mate... He had fucked things up big time two years ago. He realized that when she had jumped. He had managed to get Kikyo to help them, but she wasn't the same. She was a cold, dead, bitch. Just like Kagome had always said.

Kagome was struggling too. She was still very much in love with Inuyasha. She was still so attracted to him.

Kagome lunged forward. Punching Inuyasha in the face, the delivering a round house kick. Kagome kneed him in the face and grabbed him by the hair.

"Come on Inuyasha. I haven't even warmed up yet." She whispered in his ear and grinned when she felt him shiver.

Inuyasha growled and flipped Kagome on her back, trying to get a hit in on her face, but she blocked him every time. Kagome head butted him and flipped the over to where she was on top.

"What can I say baby? I like it better on top." She teased.

And now it's going grey

And you're the one I chose to feed me pain

And I'm the one you bring home so ashamed...

Through their eyes

Inuyasha saw red. She was so intoxicating. He flipped her over and bit her neck... Claiming her his mate... Forever.

Kagome, visibly shocked, lay beneath him. She felt completely weak again.

"Inuyasha! Get off!" Kagome yelled.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing to her!" Miroku shouted.

"Miroku... He claimed her his mate..." Sango said softly, placing her hand on his arm.

"I thought that there was... Well more sex involved in the mating ritual..."

"There is... But I don't think Inuyasha is going to claim her right here." Sango said.

Inuyasha looked up at his friends... Still full demon. He picked up Kagome's now unconscious form... And ran.

And I see myself in heaven

If I can free myself from this hell
