Chapter 7:

Kagome woke up. She was alone again. "Inuyasha?" She asked, hoping that he had just left for the moment and would be back. "Inuyasha!" She called. But there was no answer, except when someone opened her door. But Kagome became dissapointed when she found that it was just her little brother, Sota.

"You OK Sis?" Sota asked.

"Yeah." Kagome replied with a forced smile on her face, hoping that it didn't show. "Hey! Do you know where Inuyasha is?"

"He left last night." Sota replied. "We got hom late and he was here with you. Then he told us what happened and then said he would be in his time until you got better."

Why wouldn't he stay? Kagome thought. Then she looked at Sota. "Thanks Sota." Kagome said.

"No problem." Sota said, then headed to the door, but before he left, he took another look at Kagome. She was looking at her hands, as if she were in a trance. "Are you sure you're OK?" Sota asked, alook of concern on his face as he looked at Kagome.

"Yeah Sota." Kagome replied.

Then Sota left, leaving Kagome alone if her room.

Kagome looked at her wall. She could see her shadow on it. She touched the wall where her shadow was. Then she started to sing a song. She ran her hand along her own shadow as she sang, feeling the drywall that stood next to her.

Your body is warm but you are not
You give a little not a lot
You coup your love until we kiss
You're all I want but not like this
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

It's onlyyour shadow
Never yourself
It's onlyyour shadow
Nobody else
It's onlyyour shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving to soon

Kagome looked out the window next to her. She got out of bed and pressed her finger tips up against the glass, looking into the cloudy sky. It looked like it was going to rain soon. But the sun was shining through the clouds, just the smallest ray of light that found its way through the clouds that lingered above.

Your body gives but then holds back
The sun is bright
The sky is black
Can only be another sign
I cannot keep what isn't mine
You laughter, it lingers on
But you, you were almost gone

It's onlyyour shadow
Never yourself
It's onlyyour shadow
Nobody else
It's onlyyour shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving to soon

Then Kagome looked back to the wall. She thought she could see a shadow other than hers. Possibly Inuyasha's.

How can I tell if you mean what you say
You say it so loud but you sound far away
Maybe I had just glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall

But when Kagome looked at who's shadow it was, she found that it was the shadow of her coat rack with a coat and a hat on it.

I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

It's onlyyour shadow
Never yourself
It's onlyyour shadow
Nobody else
It's onlyyour shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving to soon

It's onlyyour shadow
Never yourself
It's onlyyour shadow
Nobody else
It's onlyyour shadow
Filling the room
Arriving to late
And leaving to soon

It's only your shadow

Then Kagome looked around her room before collapsing on her bed and crying into her pillow. "Why didn't he stay?" Kagome cried. "Why did he leave?"

In the Feudal Era...

Inuyasha sat under a tree, thinking about Kagome. Did I do what was right? By leaving her there? Inuyasha thought. He had hurt her so much. He hated himself for that.

The sun was setting, making the brilliant colors that were in the sky. Inuyasha felt a little breeze flow across his face, making his long silver hair flow in the wind. he gripped the locket Kagome had given him before, the one that was shaped like a golden heart and had a picture of herand him in it. Then he started to sing.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel light when you're gone away

In the present...

Kagome laying in her bed, looking up at the ceiling, thinking about Inuyasha when she started to sing.

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Inuyasha and Kagome both sang together:

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Kagome stood out of her bed and danced around the room a bit, remembering a few steps from when she was little and taking ballet class.

Inuyasha was still sitting under the tree, but now he stood, running towards the run with all his speed, then he jumped down the well, leaving the Feudal Era behind him and going to Kagome in the present.

He landed in Kagome's time, not wasting anytime to get out of the well and go into her room, where he looked through the window to see kagome dancing around, tears in her eyes as she danced. Inuyasha had never seen a more beautiful sight. Then he slid the door open.

Kagome stopped dancing, and looked at Inuyasha. Then they both sang to each other.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel light when you're gone away

Inuyasha had pulled Kagome to him, embracing her in a long hug, which neither wanted to end.

"I'm so sorry I left you Kagome." Inuyasha said, squeezing Kagome more tightly. But then Kagome pulled away slightly and looked Inuyasha in the eyes. Then she started to sing.

I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away

Then Kagome turned away from Inuyasha, looking at the floor.

I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away

Then Kagome turned back to Inuyasha, looking him in the eyes.

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares

I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
