Song Book
One: Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight…
"Die Inuyasha!"
Kagome Higurashi watched with wide eyes as yet another tentacle was forced through her lover's chest. He couldn't take much more, this she knew. The night of the new moon was fast approaching, Inuyasha's movements slowing with the coming of his change. Sunset was still an hour away, but already there had been too much bloodshed. The corpses of hundreds of demons lay scattered about the field, their blood staining the pure white snow red. This was supposed to be an easy battle...They had Kouga, and even Sesshomaru working with them. Kagura had changed sides as well, standing by Sesshomaru's side proudly. Something was terribly, horribly wrong though. The demons were super strong, feeding off Naraku's sheer evil.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive…
Kagome cried as she ran to Inuyasha, falling down at his side. There was so much blood...too much blood...Cupping his cheeks in her hands, she leaned down to press a kiss to his bloody lips. His response was faint, a whispered sentence that caused her heart to break into thousands of pieces. Sobbing wildly, she hugged his head to her chest, her nose buried in his hair. Like snowy field about them, it was stained with blood. Some of it was his, some of it wasn't. He struggled to stand, to fight. She knew he was too weak to do either.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am…
"Inuyasha..."
Leaning on the legendary sword, Tetsusagia, Inuyasha made his way to his feet once more. His warrior's spirit would not go down without a fight. Flipping the sword over his shoulder, he'd push Kagome away as another set of tentacles shot thier way. Lifting the large sword over his head, he brought it down swiftly with his famed battle cry...
"Wind Scar!"
The tentacles disappeared with a flash of yellow, which bore its way towards Naraku's deformed body once more. It bounced off the weak barrier Naraku put up in defense and into the nearby forest. Naraku's crimson eyes widened in anger.
"Die Inuyasha!"
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am…
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome watched as he dodged one tentacle, but moved straight into the path of another one. With a sickening cruch and squish it went straight through the middle of Inuyasha's head. The monk, Miroku, caught Kagome in his arms as her legs collapsed. A strangled scream escaped her lips before she burst into gasping sobs. Sango looked to Naraku with a look of hate in her eyes, and would have thrown Hiraikotsu if it wasn't for Sesshomaru's hand upon her shoulder. He nodded to Kagome, who had gotten herself under control long enough to run to Inuyasha. His eyes were fixed on the sky, the slightest trail from tears visible in the blood on his face. Kagome took off her scarf to clean his face, before standing to glare at Naraku.
"Naraku! You just took the most important person in my life away! You won't get away with this!"
Notching an arrow, she'd aim at the middle of Naraku's chest. Just as she let the streaming arrow fly, Naraku sent out a bunch of tentacles towards her. Kagome stood there and watched them come. She would be with Inuyasha now...nothing else mattered. Her body jerked as the tentacles shot through her chest, stomach and throat. Her body landed next to Inuyasha's, her head on his chest.
"Kagome!"
By the time her friends reached her body, Kagome too was dead...Sango and Miroku whirled to shout at Naraku, the pain of losing thier friend evident in thier faces.
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am…
