Disclaimer: I dun own Evanescence or InuYasha... unfortunately... that would be so freakin' awesome... anyhoo...also, i don't own the Wizard of Oz... u'll find out where that comes in soon enough...
/Now I will tell you what I've done for you/
"Stupid, Moronic, Idiotic DOG!" Kagome spat viciously. She stormed out of the forest, past a wide-eyed Miroku, who had volunteered to 'bravely quest for her.' She pushed past throngs of excited children, focusing only on reaching the well...on getting the hell out of this place. She squeezed her eyes shut harshly, stanching the flow of tears. That wouldn't stop the pain, though. This wouldn't stop hurting... Not anytime soon, at least...
/Fifty thousand tears I've cried.../
This was unbelievable! Even after all they'd been through... Everything they'd counted on each other for... He still chose that damn clay POT!
/Screaming, Deceiving, and Bleeding for you,
And you... Still won't hear me.../
For a moment, she was entertained by the image of rain falling and Kikyo melting like the Wicked Witch of the East from the Wizard of Oz...Then she remembered that Kikyo was often seen during rain storms and, unfortunately for Kagome, didn't even bat an eyelash, much less collapse into a melted pile of mud while screaming "I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too!" Plus... Kagome didn't even own a dog.. And she was fairly certain that Kikyo would never refer to her as her 'pretty.' She shuddered slightly at that, yet stormed on, her rant uninterupted.
/Don't want your hand, this time, I'll save MYSELF!
Maybe I'll wake up for once...
Not TORMENTED daily, defeated by you...
Just when I.. Thought I'd reached the bottom.../
She swore if he came looking for her...She'd refuse anything he offered. Anything and Everything.. She wouldn't owe him more than she already did. All she was doing was digging her own grave by staying with him. There'd be one time when he wouldn't be able to save her. And she refused to have the blame land on herself if either of them died. At the moment, though, she couldn't care less. She just didn't want his help...
/I'm... Dying.. Again/
She sighed, finally reaching the well. She sat on the edge. 'I'll NEVER be as good as Kikyo. I'll never live up to her standards. I'll always be stuck in her shadow... Always!' She took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, plunged into the well's depths.
/I'm GOING UNDER! (Going Under)
Drowning in YOU! (Drowing in You)
I'm FALLING FOREVER! (Falling forever)
I've got to BREAK THROUGH! I'M...
Going under.../
The blue light engulfed her welcomingly. She silently thanked it for never leaving her. 'It's not as if the stupid light as much freaking choice in the matter!' Kagome mentally slapped herself. Nothing ever made sense anymore, she was full to bursting with spite, and something else... maybe love? Yeah... whatever! Kagome snarled in her head to herself.
/Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies...
( So I don't know what's real) So I dunno what's real and what's not (Dunno what's real and what's not)/
She climbed out of the well, stomped out of the mini-shrine and sent Sota a wicked glare when he called out a cheery 'hello.' She immediately felt bad about taking her anger out of him, but her mind was reeling in confusion: She didn't know whether to be sad or pissed.
/Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust MYSELF ANYMORE/
All she knew was that she wouldn't go back. She never wanted to see those resiliant amber eyes again. She sniffed to stifle her sobs and continued on to the Shrine.
/I'm... Dying... Again.../
She opened the door, dropped her bookbag on the floor and stomped up the stairs. She slammed the door to her room and plopped down on her bed. 'Might as well work on my homework while I've got time...' She pulled her books off of her dresser. She studied an Algebra II problem for a whole ten minutes before, finally, she slammed the book shut mercilessly.
/I'm GOING UNDER! (Going Under)
Drowning in YOU! (Drowning in you)
I'm FALLING FOREVER! (Falling Forever)
I've got to BREAK THROUGH! I'm.../
Kagome couldn't take it anymore. The tears came and she grabbed the nearest pillow frantically and screamed into it. She hoped somewhere, he was cursing her name.
/So go on and SCREAM!
Scream at me, I'm so far away...(so far away...)
I
WON'T BE BROKEN, AGAIN! (again...)
I've got to breathe, I can't
keep..
GOING UNDER/
She couldn't take this...those eyes...
/I'm... Dying... AGAIN/
Those damn golden eyes haunted her every thought... her every motion...
/I'm GOING UNDER! (Going under)
Drowning in YOU! (Drowning in you)/
Her mother called up the stairs: "Kagome, are you okay! I heard a slam... And I thought I heard a scream..."
"I'm fine, Mom! Just a spider!" She called back with the fake 'I'm fine... Really' tone in her voice.
/I'm FALLING FOREVER! (falling forever)
I've got to BREAK THROUGH! ... I'm.../
Damn his eyes... Damn his memory...
/GOING UNDER/
She cursed herself for thinking about it... 'Get your mind off of him, dammit!' She screamed at herself.
/GOING UNDER/
Her last thought, before her eyes, red from crying, closed and her mind delved in sleep, were those hypnotic yellow eyes...
/I'M GOING UNDER/
