DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR ANY SONGS IN THE FIC!
Chapter 7
The next day Kagome was extremely nervous for the concert later that night, but InuYasha was trying to keep her as calm as possible. The concert was at seven o'clock that night, but Kagome was taken to the trailer where InuYasha got ready at three.
"Inu, I don't know if I can do this." She said as she was sitting on the couch in his trailer with him before the concert.
"Why? What's wrong?" He asked.
"I don't think I'll be able to remember the words, or I'll mess up and embarrass you and your band."
"You'll be fine Kags. Don't stress." InuYasha kissed her forehead and held her against his chest. He tilted her head back and captured her lips in a kiss immediately making her relax as she kissed him back. InuYasha smiled to himself, because he knew kissing her would calm her down. A few minutes later they pulled away for air and he rested his forehead against hers.
"Feel any better?"
"Much better." She sighed out. InuYasha chuckled and kissed the tip of her new before getting off the couch and bringing her a cup of hot tea with honey.
"Here, drink this. It will help your voice, and it feels great on your throat." They both drank their tea before getting out of the trailer to go backstage. InuYasha kissed her forehead before heading on to the stage.
"Good luck." She told him. He winked and grabbed the microphone from his manager.
"Good evening Tokyo! How are you guys doing tonight?" he said through the mic. The crowd went wild as he laughed.
"I hope you're all doing great. Are you all ready to have some fun tonight?" Again the crowd went wild and Kagome giggled from the side of the stage as they all jumped up and down.
"Well, before we get started I just want you all to know that for the first time ever, we will be having a special guest to sing our last song with me. When it gets time you guys better be nice to her. Got it?" Kagome heard a resounding yes as he introduced the first song.
"Great, so here we go! Our first song tonight if going to be our song 'Be My Escape', I wrote this for my girlfriend Kagome. This is for you babe!"
`I'm given up on giving up slowly
I'm blending in so
You won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This on last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape
I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You`
The crowd went wild and InuYasha looked over at Kagome. He winked at her while she smiled and waved.
~An hour later~
It was the end of the concert and InuYasha was introducing their last and final song of the night.
"Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for. My special guest is going to be singing 'I'd Do Anything' with me. Please welcome Kagome!"
The crowd began to chant. "KA-GO-ME! KA-GO -ME! KA-GO-ME"
Kagome walked out onto the stage and waved at the audience. InuYasha grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him. He kissed her forehead and hugged her. Kagome kissed him on the cheek before hugging him back.
"Good luck Kags/Inu." They whispered to each other before turning to the crowd still holding hands.
"Are you guys ready for this?" InuYasha asked the crowd, and they went wild. The couple smiled at each other.
"Here we go!"

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
Cause so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand, yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cause I know
I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again, yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cause I know
I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (...)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (...)
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cause I know
I won't forget you
The crowd went mad as InuYasha pulled Kagome to him for a passionate kiss. When they pulled away InuYasha held his and Kagome's hands in the air.
"So what did you all think?" He asked the crowd as they went crazy. Both InuYasha and Kagome smiled at the crowd and bowed.
"Thank you everyone!" Kagome yelled through the microphone.
"Well, that's all. Everybody have a fantastic night, and please be safe getting home!" InuYasha and Kagome ran off the stage where InuYasha pulled Kagome into a hug. Kagome hugged him back as they looked at each other.
"I love you Inu."
"I love you too Kags."
After most fans had left the couple began to exit the back entrance, when they were approached by none other than Naraku.
"Nice job you two. I think the crowd liked it too. It's too bad they won't ever get to see or hear my song bird's voice again." As he said that he pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger shooting Kagome in the stomach.
Kagome fell to the ground clutching her stomach as InuYasha yelled at her trying to get her to concentrate.
"Kagome, look at me! It's going to be okay, I promise." Kagome nodded her head and continued clutching her stomach. InuYasha ripped his shirt off of himself and pressed it to her wound while picking her up.
"I love you Kagome. Please stay with me. I need you. Rin needs you. You can't leave her without her mother. She needs you in her life. Please stay here." InuYasha begged her as he let tears come to his eyes.
