-Killing me softly -

Kagome walked slowly thoroughly the dull green forest, almost as in a trance. She was here. Kagome knew it. She was here somewhere and she was calling to Kagome.

It didn't take to long to find where she was, and Kagome wished it had: She was not alone.

He was there. He was with her. Had Kagome really been in the future long enough for him to get so distracted as this? He was holding her against him, kissing her like his life depended on it. Kagome turned away numbly. Again. It had happened again.

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for awhile
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

She could hear them talking, they're voices rose and fell softly like the wind. And each gasp, each desperate whisper cut into her heart further and further. They clung to each other, desperate to have, once again what Naraku had deprived them of.

What Kagome deprived them of?

Was Kikyo right? Maybe she didn't belong here; maybe her presence was what was making Inuyasha so sad? That thought hurt more than anything else, hurting him was out of the question. No, Hurting him was Impossible. They had stopped kissing and were talking regularly now. But it didn't help. They were so perfect together. OS perfect for each other.

For a while, Kagome stood they're. Tormenting herself with thoughts of how they felt right now, with thoughts of how Inuyasha felt right now.

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each out loud

Prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on

Suddenly, Kagome could stand it no longer: She ran. As far and as fast as she could. Thorns clawed at her, branches blocked her way, and she even bumped into a tree or two. But she just kept going, blinded by tears, and numb with pain. She wanted- no, needed to get away.

Away form here, away from her, away form the truth. She could never be that girl. The one he would hold so desperately. The one he would kiss so tenderly. She just wasn't. She just couldn't.

Kami-san knows she had tried. She wanted to be here, that woman he would, could love. But it was impossible. She was Kagome. Ka. Go. Me. No one else. At first she had liked this, then actually fought to be her own person against Kikyo's oppressively perfect shadow.

And now she could only sit and wish that shadow were her own.


He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

At the well she collapsed. Dropped limply and did mot move. She just lay there and breathed. Why had she run? It didn't make sense that she should have to run. Normally it didn't hurt this much, or this visibly. Maybe it was the straw that broke the camels back? After all, how much can one girl be expected to take?

She lay there for a couple eternities, her body to battered by her flight to want to move. She should go home. But that would be abandoning him. She would never leave. She would always be at his side.

Heh, who was the dog now?

Suddenly two strong arms lifted her up, and pressed her against a well-toned chest. It was him. His breath was ragged: He must've been running too.

He buried his face in her hair, and Kagome froze. What had happened? Why had he abandoned Kikyo for her? He raised his head, and his rough cheek brushed against hers. She felt her heart almost stop. It had only managed to get out a few strangled beats, when he really tried to kill her.

"Kagome. Forgive me."

"Always Inuyasha"
