Well, I've finally written the song chapter. You know after driving home from school yesterday I thought of an idea and decided to add to the story. There's going to be another song chapter - right after this one. I hope you guys like it.
Takerus Lost Angel - At this point, IY doesn't have the common sense to know anything about parenting. Besides IY doesn't know everything just stuff pertaining to school. As for you B-day countdown, if your going to do one they I should as well. I have 17 days left until my 20th birthday. Congrats all around.
Fukashi - I could have a real fun debate about Inuyasha's father, Inutaisho. I aware that it means "dog leader" but that doesn't mean that isn't his name. If you look at Inuyasha, Inuyasha is his name but it also translates to dog-demon or dog-spirit so that doesn't mean that Inutaisho isn't Inuyasha's father's name. As for the subtitles, sometimes they get too literal. If I remember correctly when Naraku's name is mentioned they have it subtitled 'spider-hanyou' or something along those lines. You can't take all subtitles to literal.
Angel Nicole - Sorry I keep meaning to answer your question but I keep forgetting. I haven't written any other IY fanfics but I may write more after this one. We'll see.
Black Dragon - yes I'm aware that the IY going to school has been done before but I really don't care about school. I'm only going to show a few things from it and that's it. The school thing is just a means to an end.
Okay well not much more to say. I'm surprised that reviews have been going down a bit. I hope people aren't getting bored or anything with my story. Also as I mentioned, IY is going to go to school but I really don't care about that. I'm not going to go into much detail other than the things that pertains to the story. Its just a means to an end. I hope everyone likes the song I picked out. No one so far was able to figure out the song or artist. Hopefully you'll realize it. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own IY or the song I'm going to use.
Chapter 25: A Song From the Heart
Kagome came down from her room after an hour of doing more school work. She still wasn't in a good mood. Nothing seemed to be going right. She was still having a lot of trouble with the work and was even thinking about asking Inuyasha for help but that would just remind her of his teasing. She didn't want to give him more to tease her about. After an hour she decided to take a break and get something to eat. She walked into the kitchen where her mother and Inuyasha was. He was eating some ramen. She didn't feel like making something so some instant ramen sounded nice. When she opened the cupboard, she found no ramen. "Mom, did you move the ramen?" Kagome asked.
"No, I believe Inuyasha just finished it," she said as she watched Inuyasha place his instant cup in the garbage.
"Put just yesterday there was like 20," she then turned to Inuyasha who still had his smirk from before. "You ate all the ramen in practically two days?!"
"Not all," he said cockily. "I believe your father had one and so did Souta."
"That's still 18 cups of ramen," Kagome half groaned and half yelled. "You are so stupid."
"No, if you remember I'm even smarter than you," Inuyasha teased some more. If he had any common sense, he would have known that Kagome was in no mood for his taunts.
"That's only because Midoriko decided to give you some actual brains. She probably felt bad for you since you had none," Kagome yelled back at him.
"I had a brain, I couldn't live without one," Inuyasha said trying to show off his new knowledge.
"Then it mustn't have been working before. Well I have more studying to do since I have to memorize the stuff the old fashion way unlike you who cheats and just has all the knowledge," Kagome said.
"Hey don't call me a cheater. I didn't cheat. Midoriko gave me the knowledge as a gift fair and square," Inuyasha said with a smirk. "It's not my fault if I'm both stronger and smarter than you."
"You're not necessarily smarter than me. You need more than facts to truly be intelligent!" she yelled at him.
"You just saying that cause you know I'm smarter," Inuyasha said but that he had pushed Kagome to her breaking point.
"Argh, you are such a pain in the ass! I don't know why I agreed to let you stay here. All you do is annoy me!" she yelled at him. Kagome was so mad at him by that point that she didn't see the full effect of her words on him. If she would have been calm she would have been able to see the hurt in his eyes.
She couldn't see it but she was about to hear it. "Fine, if my presence annoys you that much then I'll leave. I like my world much better than this one! The only thing good about being here was the ramen!" Inuyasha yelled as he stomped towards the door. "Have fun with the yakuza!" With that he slammed the door shut and quickly went over to the well house and jumped in the well.
Kagome was still angry at Inuyasha so his leaving didn't fully affect her yet though given enough time it would. Instead of going after him and calling for him to call back, she charged back up to her room.
Kagome's mother continued doing the dishes as if nothing had happened. It was then Mr. Higurashi walked back into the house. "This doesn't look good. They were getting along so well," he said.
"Don't worry," his wife told him. "You'd be surprised how often they fought over the last two years. They always make up. It's just a lover's quarrel." With that she smiled widely and turned back to her cleaning. He just looked at her a little confused and went back outside to play more with Souta.
Kaede was getting annoyed. Inuyasha had shown up at her hut almost 3 hours ago. The entire time he had been complaining about Kagome and her being jealous. She wasn't sure how much more she could stand. "Inuyasha, have you ever thought that this might actually be your fault," Kaede told him. "I know ye don't t like to admit it but isn't it possible?"
"No, Kagome's just being jealous," Inuyasha said.
"Well think if ye position's were reversed. If ye didn't have the knowledge you did and she was smarter and then all of a sudden she became stronger than ye," Kaede told him. "I know your pride would be hurt especially if she went around rubbing it in your face."
"She wouldn't rub it in my face," Inuyasha said back.
"Exactly," Kaede told him. "All this time and probably still, Kagome has been smarter than you and other than calling you an idiot for doing stupid things she hasn't said anything about it. She's never once said that she was smarter than you. You might have just done some small teasing but I'm sure you did it enough to annoy her. Just like ye are annoying me by constantly complaining."
"Feh, whatever," Inuyasha said as he stood up. "I'm going for a walk." Inuyasha walked out of the hut and Kaede didn't really expect him to come back especially since she noticed he was walking in the direction of the well. As Inuyasha walked through the forest, he realized that both Kaede and Kagome were right. Now that he had calmed down and his ego was back to normal he realized his mistake. He knew that Kagome probably didn't mean what she had said about not wanting him there but he was going to apologize all the same. He didn't want to just leave her without any protection from the yakuza. He laughed for a small bit, "Fate is really ironic. All the time Kagome was coming back here, when we had our fights she usually came back and apologized. Now the situation is reversed and I'm the one whose going to apologize," Inuyasha thought to himself. This fight had taught him a lesson. Kagome was still smarter than him, she had common sense. He was getting there; in fact, he had learned the most important lesson of common sense. Don't piss off a woman, who's already angry.
Within a matter of minutes, Inuyasha was back in Kagome's time. He jumped right up to her window and crawled in there expecting to find her doing more school work. There was nothing but an empty room to greet him. From her scent, she had been here an hour ago. He then walked out and descended the stairs to try and find her. At the bottom of the steps, he saw Kagome's mom relaxing from doing chores. "Hey, where's Kagome at?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Ohh, Inuyasha I didn't see you come in," Mrs. Higurashi said. "Some of Kagome's friends stopped by and took Kagome to the mall." She had known Kagome had left depressed and by the looks of it Inuyasha was feeling bad about before as well. "If you want, I could give you a ride to the mall?"
"That's okay, I know where it is. Kagome gave me a tour of the city the other day. It's just that it's so big I won't know where to beginning looking for Kagome," Inuyasha said.
"Well that's easy enough. Just look in the clothing stores. Her and her friends are usually in one of them," she told Inuyasha. He smiled at her and was about to leave before she called out to him. "Inuyasha, you might want to change clothes. Yesterday I bought you some modern day clothes so you could have them. I put them up in Kagome's room right by her bed."
Inuyasha then realized that he was still wearing his fire-rat haori. People might look at him a little weird if he continued to wear it. "Thank you," Inuyasha said as he rushed upstairs and changed clothes.
When he came back downstairs, Kagome's mom stopped him again. "Here," she said handing him some money. "If you're hungry, you can buy something to eat." Inuyasha nodded and quickly left.
Within 5 minutes Inuyasha had reached the mall. He had cheated and ran atop the buildings. He had to admit modern clothes were pretty good. They could be a little more restricting but when trying to run fast they provided less wind resistance than his haori. As he walked into the mall, he was astounded by the amount of people. When Kagome showed it to him before, there were a lot less people. He definitely wouldn't be able to pick up Kagome's scent. So he did it the old fashion way, by walking around and looking. He slowly walked around looking for her but also taking in everything in the mall. He had been looking for half an hour and been to almost every clothing store. He was starting to worry that she had already left. Finally he caught sight of her and her friends going into one of last stores he hadn't checked. "Figures, she'd be in the last one," Inuyahsa thought as he quickly made his way over to the store that Kagome disappeared into.
Right before he went in a girl popped up in front of him. "Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked at her and realized it was Ayumi, one of Kagome's friends. "Hey, I'm looking for Kagome."
"I figured," she said. "She told us about the fight you guys had and she's been totally bummed out. We thought bringing her here would cheer her up but it hasn't helped." Ayumi then heard something, she turned her head and saw what she heard. She then got a really good idea. "Hey Inuyasha, I figure you hear to apologize?"
"What if I am?" Inuyasha asked not wanting his pride to be hurt.
"Well Kagome might be a little happy to see you but she might not totally forgive you yet," Ayumi said and Inuyasha's face fell a little. "But I have a really good idea and if you do it I'm sure she'll forgive you. Are you willing to do it?"
"I guess," Inuyasha said unsure what he was getting himself into. Ayumi then led him to another place that was slightly down from the clothing shop. He didn't recognize the place or what it was for. "So what do I have to do?"
Ayumi was surprised that he didn't know what this was. "This is a place where you can do karaoke." She became even more surprised as when he still looked at her confused. "It's a place where they play a song and you can sing with it. Understand?"
"So you want me to sing a song?" Inuyasha said confused. "How's that going to get Kagome to forgive me?"
"Well they have a lot of songs here and you could probably look through them. Find a song that you could specifically sing to Kagome. I'm sure she'll forgive you after that." Inuyasha wasn't totally sure he was up to this but if it was sure to get Kagome to forgive him then he'd do it. Ayumi quickly led Inuyasha to a book of songs and lyrics so that he could pick on out. "Okay, listen just talk to the employee and tell him you want to sing a song. I'll get Kagome to come here. I'll try and stall her for about 5-10 minutes to give you time to choose a song, okay?"
Inuyasha nodded. He could hear Kagome's other friends calling out for Ayumi as if she got lost. He then continued to search through the book. Finally he seemed to find a song that would work great. It didn't exactly say the words 'I'm sorry' but he could say that before he started the song.
Kagome and her three friends walked out of the last shop in the mall. Kagome was tired and wanted to go home. Not just to rest but she also wanted to see if Inuyasha came back. She hoped he had and if he didn't she decided that she'd go to the feudal era and get him "Talk about role-reversal. Inuyasha was always dragging me back to the feudal era," Kagome thought to herself. "Well, I'm just about out of money and I'm tired. I wanna head back home," Kagome told her friends.
Eri and Yuka seemed to agree with her but Ayumi seemed to disagree. "I want to go one last place before we leave," she told them.
"Where?" Eri asked.
"I want to go the karaoke," she told them.
"I didn't know you like karaoke," Kagome said.
"Well I don't totally but I like to sit and watch the people sing. Some are really good," she told her friend. She had to get Kagome to go or else her plan would fail. "Just one song, please?"
The other three girls sighed. "Fine but just one song," Kagome told her. They all walked into the place where a girl was already up doing some karaoke. They could tell she was halfway through a song. About a minute and a half later, she finished. "Okay we can go now," Kagome said.
"But that wasn't one song," Ayumi said. "It was half of one."
"I'm really tired. I wanna go home and sleep," Kagome said. "Besides there's no good singers here…" Kagome was cut off as she heard a voice come from the speakers.
"Before I begin, I just want to say I'm sorry to my girlfriend." Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha in front with the microphone. "I was stupid earlier today and I'm hoping that she can forgive me for being such a jerk. This song is for her." With that Inuyasha looked directly at her and started to sing the song.
Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
"That's true," Inuyasha thought. "I always seem to say things I
regret and it makes you cry but I can't live without you."
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
You'll keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
Kagome had to smile at that. He had always been her knight in shining armor.
He was there to protect her.
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
Everyone clapped as Inuyasha finished but he paid them no heed. His eyes where were they had been the entire time – looking directly at Kagome. He put down the mike and walked towards her. "Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
Kagome looked up into his eyes. They were filled with love for her and sadness for what he had done to her. "I don't think there's any way I couldn't," she smiled as she leaned up and kissed him. Inuyasha didn't care about anyone seeing. He kissed her in return. He was glad to have her back. "I can't believe he did this," Kagome thought to herself while kissing him. "It took a lot of guts for him to sing in front of everyone. I know just how to return the favor. I'll sing a song for him and I know just the one."

Well I hope you liked it. Though I didn't mention it the money IY has was used to sing that song. As for the song, here's where some trivia comes in:
What's the title of the song?
Who sang it?
What movie did it go to?
And for more fun, what band did the artist belong to?
I hope I didn't make it to hard for you. The next chapter/song I already know. Here's your hints. Song was originally written in mid-80s and was redone in about 95. You can find an IY AMV to the newer version of the song. The original was almost 7 minutes long while the newer version was closer to 4. Well that's about all the hints I can't think of now. I hope you like it. Now for referral:
