Well, I'd like to thank everyone that stuck with me through the song chapter even if you didn't like it. I hope you can live through one more. I really like this song and I wanted to use it. As for the song from the last chapter: its was Glory of Love, which went to Karate Kid Part 2, was sung by Peter Cetera formerly of Chicago. I don't know anything about the remake version, I've never heard it. Speaking of remakes, the song in this chapter is a remake. Its "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Nikki French. If you decide to download this song download the 3-4 minute verion. That's the good techno remix version. Don't download the original Nikki French version, its horrible. There is an anime music video to IY with this song. Here's the link: www animemusicvideos org /members/members_videoinfo.php?v=4915 I hope you like the video as well as this chapter. Congrats to Koneko-chan star, Selcryn, Lady Fae, I love your story, sachi, and Haru for guessing the song. All of you were right. Congrats.
Sango13 - Actually it isn't my birthday yet, I'll be 20 on Feb. 8th.
Silver Warrior - I know its kind of poetic and IY is OOC but I really wanted to do it not to mention as I said Kagome has been changing IY over the past 2 years. So there's a chance and he really wanted to make up with her. IY can be a nice guy if he tries.
Sunstreak - I didn't take your reveiw as sucking up so don't worry. As for daddy's little angel, if you happen to look at the reviews for her story, If Hearts were Unbreakable, you'll see I've been reading her story and its good. I know there are stories out there like it but that happens a lot. Everything has been done before its just how you build onto the idea that makes it original. Also after talking through reviews with her, we're on good terms now.
Okay everyone like I said this is another song chapter (probably last one). It uses "Total Eclipse of the Heart (Techno Remix)" by Nikki French. The song was originally done by Bonnie Tyler in the mid 80s. What can I say I'm a fan of 80s music. Please don't complain about it being short. I just wanted to add the song in not to mention the last chapter was longer than usual so it evens out. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own IY, or Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Chapter 26: Forgiveness
Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's eyes and saw the love that they held. "Thank you, Inuyasha. That was a wonderful song. I know how hard it must have been for you to do it," Kagome said to her love.
Inuyasha looked straight her. "I would have done anything to get you to forgive me," Inuyasha said as he gave her a quick kiss. His usual smirk then appeared on his face, "Just don't expect me to do it again."
"Hey are you two done yet?" Eri asked ruining the moment. "Just a little while ago, I remember someone complaining that they wanted to go home?" Ayumi wanted to hit her friend for interrupting a nice heart filled scene.
"Well, I'm not in that much of a hurry," Kagome told them. "There's still one thing I want to do." With that Kagome turned to Inuyasha, "This is my way of saying I forgive you, as well as I'm sorry to." With that Kagome went up to the employee of the shop. When she finished paying him she pointed to a song and then was allowed to go up on stage. She looked directly at Inuyasha as the song began.
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you never come around
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my
tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of the years have
gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your
eyes
(Turn around)
Every now and then I fall apart. Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
and I need you more than ever
and if you only hold me tight
we'll be holding on forever
and we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong, together
Once upon a time, I was falling in love
but now I'm only falling apart
there's nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
(Turn around)
But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the
way that I am
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and
wondrous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I
just couldn't do
(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time!
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks!
I really need you tonight!
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time I was falling in love
but now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Inuyasha just continued to stare at Kagome as she came off the stage and directly towards him. Neither of them heard all the praise that Kagome was receiving. "That was great, Kagome," Inuyasha told her.
"Thank you. I did it for you," Kagome said.
"I'm glad," Inuyasha said. "I take it that you forgive me?"
"Not yet," Kagome said with a grin. "There's one last thing I want you to do for me. I want you to admit that my singing was better than you."
Inuyasha was surprised at this. He thought he had earned her forgiveness but he could understand her request not to mention that she was right. He had rubbed being better than her in her face so now this was a sort of payback. "I'm not sure if I'd say that," Inuyasha said with a smirk as he brought his face closer to Kagome's. She looked at him a little surprised. She wanted to hear him admit it. "You sang like an angel compared to me," Inuyasha said and kissed her passionately on the lips.
"Promise me you won't leave me, even if we do get into a fight," Kagome said.
"You have my word on that. I don't want anything to ever happen to you," Inuyasha said.
A cough came from near the two lovers. They turned around to see not only Kagome's friends but everyone else around looking at them. "You guys are making a bit of a scene," Yuka said. Kagome and Inuyasha blushed a bit.
"Have you two made up?" Eri asked. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other then nodded. "Good then we can go home now." With that the group slowly made their way out of the Karaoke shop and out of the mall.
None noticed the man that was sitting on a bench right outside the Karaoke shop. Through his red eyes he had watched the entire scene as it had unfolded. "You're lucky you two are back together. Soon enough your going to need all the help you can get." the man thought. "You only have a little bit of peaceful time left before yakuza come to kill you. We'll meet before that though." With that the man got up and walked out of the mall. There was no need to follow Kagome and Inuyasha, he knew well enough where they lived.

Well that's another done. If you couldn't absolutely tell, the man at the end is the same man as before. I'm sure everyone is wondering about him. That's is what the next chapter is for. You'll meet the man but I warn you just because you're given a name doesn't mean you really know the person. That surprise is coming later. Okay one trivia question this time:
Who wrote the original version of Total Eclipse of the Heart?
He's one of my favorite song writers and made some of the best songs that I listen to. Okay now for a referral:
Oh My Love, How I Loathe You by Jaive storyid=1585365
Well that's gonna do it for this chapter. Hope to see you next time for:
Chapter 27: Back to School - as I said school is just a means to an end. And Mystery man named.
