The Present:
It was finally Friday night. Kagome's first performance ever. And even though she was excited, she was nervous. Inuyasha would be there...
Putting on sheer watermelon lip gloss, Kagome smiled at her reflection. Punk rock beautiful. Plaid skirt, with a black and white Twiztid shirt. The shirt was torn in lots of places, giving it a rough edge to it. Her black combat boots dirty. Her hair curled to perfection.
Glancing at her reflection on last time, she walked out of the room.

Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha sat at a small table near the stage.
"Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, sipping on his drink.
"Look." Sango chuckled, pointing to the stage.
Standing on the stage, Kagome looked around the audience. Spotting her friends, she smiled and winked.
(Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends)
Playing her guitar softly, she closed her eyes. Inuyasha looked up at the black acoustic... The one he got her for her 15th birthday...
(Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends)
Kagome looked so sad on the stage alone... He always knew it was her dream to perform... But he never thought she'd be so sad... He knew parts of the song were about her father, but he couldn't help but think some were about him.
(Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends)
Kagome looked at Inuyasha sadly. Fresh in her memory, were the things that he gave up. He left her... Love. Left. Was all her mind could process... Miroku had reassured her that he'd be back soon... But after eight months and no call.
(Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends)
There were times where she just hated him. Where she couldn't stand the thought of him ever touching her again. But usually, she needed him more than she was willing to admit. She had talked out her feelings to Sango... But she just... Couldn't understand. She loved Inuyasha, yet she hated him. She wanted him and needed him... Yet hated herself for that fact. He was everything in her world, yet nothing at all. Everything was a contradiction.
(Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
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)
It had taken her three years to even comprehend getting over him. And now he was back. She didn't wanna give in to him so easily.

"So! How was I?" Kagome asked cheerfully as she put her guitar in her trunk.
"Amazing!" Sango said.
"Best performance I've ever seen!"
"You were... Beautiful." Inuyasha said.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. "Um... Thank you." She said, pieces of hair falling in-front of her face.
"I mean it."
"Save it." Kagome said hastily, getting in her car and driving off.
"What the fuck was that all about?" Inuyasha asked angrily.
"Try having the person you love run out on you. And show up when you least expect them to. " Sango said, shaking her head as she and Miroku walked back into the club.
TJ: Um. READ AND REVIEW!
