(Kagome's POV)

I couldn't believe it! He showed his claws to me! He has done it before but that was before he knew me! I sobbed and ran faster through the halls. The IV had pulled itself from my arm back in the room. "Kagome wait!" I stopped and looked back. Hojo was running to me. "Kagome what is with that guy?" He panted out. I shrugged and tried to stop crying. "Hey it's ok Kagome." He said hugging me. I cried against him for a few minutes until he suddenly felt limp. I leaned back to see his eyes were closed. "Hojo?" I asked shaking him lightly. He was pulled backwards and laid against the wall. InuYasha was standing there looking upset. "Sorry kid." He muttered. I blinked and took a step back. I was still feeling scared but he was being nice to Hojo. "Kagome I'm so sorry." He said pulling me against him. I tensed but didn't push him back. "Kagome please listen ok?" He asked. I nodded against his chest. "I was jealous of Hojo. I know you used to be in love with him and I don't like that. You're mine Kagome." He whispered against my hair. I gasped, did that mean he loved me? I back away from him and stared at him.

Prison gates won't open up for me

On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'

Oh, I reach for you

Well I'm terrified of these four walls

These iron bars can't hold my soul in

All I need is you

Come please I'm callin'

And oh I scream for you

Hurry I'm fallin'

(InuYasha's POV)

I was probably a freak to her now. She probably hated even knowing I existed. I felt my heart and ears droop. "Hello Miss. Higurashi I was just on my way to tell you, you are free to go." The doctor said walking up to us. Kagome nodded and turned to go back to her room. "Wait Kagome!" I said picking up Hojo and throwing him over my shoulder. "I'm going to change InuYasha." She said shutting the door. I sat Hojo down and leaned against the door. I should leave. I shouldn't be here. I thought looking around. Don't start that! My brain warned. I just sighed. If I had listened to my brain earlier I wouldn't be here. This fair thing Kagome was talking about was only 2 days away and I still remembered the lyrics, but would she even look at me? The door creaked open and she walked out. She was in her school uniform again. "Here let's get Hojo back to your house." I said picking him up and throwing him over my shoulder once more.

Show me what it's like

To be the last one standing

And teach me wrong from right

And I'll show you what I can be

Say it for me

Say it to me

And I'll leave this life behind me

Say it if it's worth saving me

(Kagome's POV)

He was acting almost depressed. He wasn't even called Hojo, Hobo. Oh stop being such a baka you know he loves you. I thought. Well than why did he show his claws to me? I thought. I tuned it out and watched him. His ears were drooping and he looked down and out. He had Hojo over his shoulder. He didn't really hurt me and he wouldn't have I don't think… I thought and finally agreed with myself. He wouldn't have hurt me! I told myself. I stopped at the desk and signed myself out. The nurse working there looked at InuYasha weirdly. I started out the door. "Kagome…" InuYasha started. I turned but he shook his head. "Why don't you call your mom to pick you up?" He asked.

Heaven's gates won't open up for me

With these broken wings I'm fallin'

And all I see is you

These city walls ain't got no love for me

I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story

And oh I scream for you

Come please I'm callin'

And all I need from you

Hurry I'm fallin'

(InuYasha's POV)

I couldn't offer her a ride. Not after what had happened. I thought setting Hojo down. Kagome had run over to a pay phone and was dialing her home number. Hojo started coming to. "Wha happened?" He asked groggily. "You fainted." I lied. "Oh ok well I should get going! I should have been at the shop 15 minutes ago! Bye Kagome!" He yelled running down the road. She waved distractedly. I stood there looking at the ground for a few minutes. I looked back up at Kagome and noticed she had a backpack on. I walked over to her as she got off the phone. "Here Kagome I'll carry that." I said taking it from her. "Thanks." She muttered. "Mom will be here in a few minutes." She said. I nodded. We stood there in quiet for about 15 minutes. Her scent wrapped around me and made my heart flutter. The only problem was it was tinged with a little fear and pain that I had caused. I sighed and felt my heart drop to my feet.

I can still see the light

at the end of the tunnel shine

through the dark times

even when I lose my mind

But it feels like no one

in the world is listening

and I can't ever seem

to make the right decisions

I walk around in the same haze

I'm still caught in my same ways

I'm losing time in these strange days

but somehow I always know

the right things to say

Does she hate me? Does she wish I'd leave and never come back? my brain was overloading with questions and no answers. Kagome. I thought sadly. As soon as she was home and comfortable I'd leave. I wouldn't hurt her anymore. Suddenly I felt something warm over my hand. I looked down and saw she had slipped her hand in mine. I blinked, wasn't she scared of me? Of course she was but she loves you baka. My brain muttered.

I don't know what time it is

or whose the one to blame for this

Do what I believe what I can't see

And how do you know

which way the wind blows

Cause I can feel it all around

I'm lost between the sound

And just when I think

I know, there she goes

Goodbye for now

Goodbye for now

So long

Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)

Goodbye for now

So long (I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin go)

When will we sing

A new song

A new song

I closed my fingers around hers. She jumped but smiled slightly out the window. I wanted to jump for joy! She didn't hate me! My heart started doing back flips and my brain perked up. Now you are going to do this right! It yelled. I nodded and smiled. Kagome seemed more relaxed. I removed my hand from her and put it over her shoulders. She smiled and snuggled up to me. She felt so right near me. It was weird. With Kikyo I felt on end, like if I let my defenses down I'd die, but with Kagome I always felt relaxed and happy. Except for when we were in my era. Than I was always worried and scared. Kagome told me her time isn't as dangerous as my time but I think that's stupid. Every time I turn around I hear about all these things happening and people dieing. If Kagome was ever killed... I felt my ears droop. That hurt to think of. I shook my head and smiled at Kagome. She'd never die and leave me. I knew it.

We're still smilin as the day goes by

and how come nobody

ever knows the reasons why

Burry you deep so far

you can't see

If you're like me

who wears a broken

heart on your sleeve

Pains is troubles that

you know so well

Either time don't

It can't or you just won't tell

I'm not the type to say

I told you so

I think the hardest part

of holding on is lettin it go

(Kagome's POV)

I wasn't scared of him anymore. He was being nice. I don't think he would have hurt me. Maybe it was just because Hojo was there. My brain was working overtime. I blinked and thought of the day. Wednesday! The Fair is this Friday! I thought happily. I knew my song by heart but I was going to have to work with InuYasha. I looked up at him and he started reading over the lyric sheets I had printed off for him. I smiled. He was making an effort. Maybe he is trying to make it up to me. I thought happily. My mom pulled up to our house and I walked inside with InuYasha. My mom left to get my pain pills refilled. Sota came running and hugged me gently. "Sis are you ok?" He yelled. I smiled at him. "Just fine. Ready for the fair?" It was Sota's favorite time of year, other than Christmas. He loved going to the fair. "Are you ok to go though?" He asked. I nodded and looked up at InuYasha. "We are all going." I said. InuYasha nodded.

And you can sing until

theres no song left (song left)

And I can scream until

the world goes deaf (goes deaf)

For every other word

left unsaid you should

have took the time to

read the sign and

see what it meant

In some ways everybody

feels alone so if the

burden is mine then

I can carry my own

If joy really comes

in the morning time

then I'm gunna sit back

and wait until the

next sun rise
