Safest Place to Hide
It seems like yesterday when I said I do
And after all this time my heart still burns for you
If you don't know by now that you're my only one
Then take a look inside me and watch my heart string come undone
Inuyasha walked along the path to the Sacred Tree. He had just seen Kikyo. He didn't want to, but he had to tell Kikyo what he had finally decided. He had chosen Kagome. But while they were talking, Kagome walked up and saw them together. Jumping to conclusions, Kagome ran off, away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to catch up with her, but she got to much of a head start. She was already back in her world by the time he had gotten to the well.
I know I promised you forever
Is there no stronger word I can use?
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You're my safest place to hide
Inuyasha sat under the Sacred Tree, thinking about Kagome. After a while, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He perked up, watching. And out of the trees came Kagome.
Kagome …
Can you see me? Here I am
I need you like I needed you then
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said.
"No," Kagome interrupted, "I understand. Kikyo was your first love. And you still love her."
"No," Inuyasha said, "I don't love her."
"You don't?"
"No," he walked up to Kagome and grabbed her hands, "Kagome, I love you."
She looked up into his eyes. She knew that she meant it. Crying, she threw her arms around him.
You see colors no one else can see
In every breath you hear a symphony
You understand me like nobody can
I feel my soul unfolding like a flower blooming
When she finally broke away from him, she saw tears running down his cheeks.
"Inuyasha," she said wiping away a tear.
"Sorry," he said embarrassed, "I didn't mean to get all emotional…"
"Shh," she said, "it's okay. I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."
When this whole world gets too crazy
And there's nowhere left to run
I know you give me sanctuary
You're the only truth I know
You're the road back home
"Promise?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes, I promise," Kagome said, "I will always be with you. Always."
Inuyasha looked deep into her eyes. He leaned forward slightly, until his lips touched hers. She gladly returned the kiss.
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where I've always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
"I love you," Kagome said after they broke away. "I will always love you."
"Kagome, I don't know what I would do without you. You're the only thing that matters to me."
I know I promised you forever
There's no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You're my safest place to hide
Inuyasha knelt down to Kagome's grave. Tears welling up in his eyes. She didn't deserve to die. She was innocent. Naraku had killed her in their final battle. And as he knelt there, he thought of all the good time they had had together. He loved her so much. He started to cry like he had every day since she had died.
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where I've always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
As he knelt there, a warm breeze came and wrapped around him. He knew that it was Kagome.
"Kagome…" he whispered, "I love you. I miss you so much. Why did you have to go?"
As if an answer to his question, he looked up to the sky and saw a faint, but definite, outline of Kagome.
My safest place to hide
I know I promised you forever
There's no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You're my safest place to hide
And as he stood there, looking up into the sky, he remembered Kagome's promise. She would always be with him. If not in body, then in spirit.
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where I've always been
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside you heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
Oh, yeah
You're my safest place to hide
