"I will Survive"
Song lyrics- regular font
Story - italic
At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.
Kagome stared, soft, yet firm, unwavering chocolate eyes, that bore right into her opponents' soul. She had once been afraid to stand on her own. She had once been frightened by a mere spider, she would have kept thinking that way if she hadn't seen, what she saw that day. Since that faithful day that Inu-Yasha left her, for not, she had trained and become much stronger than Kikyo, the clay pot, had ever been. She learned how to cope with the sudden lost of her family in the future and her new one in the past. She was no longer lost.
And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking lock.
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.
But now she was not faced with a blood thirsty demon, oh no, right now she prayed to every living god she knew, that one would appear. But it was not so. She had walked into her hut to find Inuyasha. She stood there for a moment, holding her bow tightly in her hand. The inu hanyou stood and smiled at her. "Hello Kagome" he greeted. Kagome looked indifferently at him.
Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.
"Leave" came her command the hanyou glared. "Oi wench-"he started. "Leave, I won't tell you again" She reached into the folds of her haori and pulled out a dagger. It glowed and malevolent blue. The inu flattened his ears against his head, shining silver gray hair whisking around his red clad shoulders as he turned, Tetsugia, hang forlorn at his side. "Kagome I-" "Your not welcome" He turned and looked at her to many emotions to label speeding across his stricken face. "What are you surprised?" she asked her dagger sheathed. "Did you honestly think I would take you back? After what you did? After I let you walk over me, after I laid myself at your feet and you killed me?" her chocolate eyes narrowed. "No Inuyasha, not now, not ever again"
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
"I will survive without you; for you see, as cold as I am, I still know how to love" she paused and looked at his golden yellow eyes. "And as long as I have heart I will live forever" She watched his shoulders slump as he walked away, unaware that someone had been listening. "I will survive"
It took all the strength I had
just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.
It took all of her new found strength and wisdom not to fall apart when she had seen him that day. Even now she thought she had just hallucinated. "Slowly, I have mended my heart, from the broken shattered and torn pieces you left it in," she whispered to the wind as she sat in the field just outside the village. "The many nights I stayed without sleep crying over you" she sighed. And held her head high as she walked back to the village. "I survived, I'm over you"
And you'll see me with somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person
still in love with you.
And so you thought you'd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
for someone who's lovin' me.
Weeks past and Kagome had become closer to a person, a certain someone. She was no longer that silly little school girl, she was a woman. She no longer held onto the little crush of her high school dreams, it was merely a memory. So when Inuyasha came by again, and he was surprised to see that she was indeed surviving without him. That she had actually fallen out of love with him and back in love with another. And she wasn't hopelessly lost but standing strong.
Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.
Every time Inuyasha visited it was the same. Kagome would tell him to leave and he would try to hurt her, she would let her aura fly and tell him to leave once more. Warning him; away. He would leave and he would hear her whispered words.
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
"I will survive, as long as I have heart; as long as I love, I will survive, I will live forever" her words rang true, deep scars slowly mending as the time pasted over. The inu hanyou gone as mysterious as he came.
Well some asked for a continuation and that is what this is. Please tell me how it is. If I get at least one good review then I'll post another. Right now though, I hope you enjoyed reading!
