We Can't Help Who We Fall For

Chapter 15

Kagome and InuYasha had been running around all day because of the concert that night. Kagome was excited to get to sing with InuYasha on stage again and they had 8 new songs for that concert. InuYasha would sing 6 by himself, Kagome would sing 1 by herself, and they would sing 1 together.

"Good luck Inu." Kagome told him as she kissed him lightly on the lips. He smiled at her before grabbing his mic and walking out onto the stage.

"Hello everybody! How are you guys doing tonight?I am so excited because we have 8 new songs for you all tonight, and guess who's here..." The crowd shouted Kagome and InuYasha just smiled.

"You got it! Of course it's Kagome. Are you guys ready to have some fun?" He shouted and the crowd went wild.

"Okay! Here we go!"

~Spin away the combination for the last time,
Say goodbye to this year.
I wish I could avoid the empty, summer days that await me
No time for small goodbyes, we're celebrating inner freedom.
I sit alone on the couch, wonderin' why...

[Chorus:]
I wonder what it's like to have it all.
To never be afraid that I would fall.
But I don't think I've ever known a time
That I was part of the in crowd.

Here we go, another day, another disgrace
Fall flat on my face.
I wish I had a bunch of money,
catch a plane, head out west.
They'll run and play around
All full of the fans and freedom
I sit alone on the couch, wonderin' why.

[Chorus]

Doesn't anyone here live an original life?
What did you surrender to be on the inside?
When you disappear they won't remember your name.
And you'll fade away, and someone'll take your place.
(Take your place!)
In the in crowd!

Spin away the combination for the last time,
say goodbye, to this year.
I wish I could avoid the empty, summer days, that we'd be.
No time for small small goodbyes, we're celebrating inner freedom.
I sit alone on the couch, but I'm ready to fly!

I wonder what it's like to have it all,
to never be afraid that I would fall!
But I don't think I've ever known a time,
I wonder what it's like to have it all,
to never be afraid that I would fall!
But I don't think I've ever known a time,
that I was part of the in crowd!
of the in crowd.
of the in crowd!

I don't need anything that I can get from then me.
All my life I have been out of line,
While waiting for something new to begin, waiting for something more, someway, to fit in.

The in crowd...
With the in crowd.~

Immediately the band went into another songs to calm the mood .

"This next song is called A Drop In The Ocean. I wrote this song when I first met Kagome. I never thought she would pick me, so I had written this. I hope you like it."

~A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go

As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on

And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all

New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl

And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh
Oh

A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven~

"How was it you guys?" He asked as he looked off stage to Kagome who gave him a thumbs up. The crowd loved it, so he knew they would like the next one.

"Well, we've got one more before I let Kagome come out here okay?" The crowd gave a unanimous okay.

"This song is one I wrote when I got in a fight with someone that is very important to me." And with that the band began.

~When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No: I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up~

As soon as the song finished the crowd began to shout.

"Kagome! Kagome! Kagome!" InuYasha walked off the side of the stage as Kagome walked on and he gave her a quick kiss in front of everyone.

"How is everyone tonight? I am so excited to be here. I have new song to sing for you guys, and I hope you like it as much as I do. It's called Someday Soon. Here we go!"

~I wanna be the one who knows everything about you
I wanna be the one who's always on your mind
I wanna be the one to get all your affection, attention
You're the one I've been waiting for, all this time
And I can't imagine anything, anything better than

CHORUS
Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand, making our plans
All come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon

I wanna be the one who does everything with you
Watching stars, washing cars, taking walks, going to the store
I wanna be the one who gets to change her last name someday
that sounds something more like yours
And I can't imagine anything, anything better than

CHORUS
Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand, making our plans
All come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon
Someday soon

Yeah I'll be telling you I love you
On a picture perfect day
And those words inside my head
They sound like angels singing praise
It's what I was made to say

CHORUS
Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand, making our plans
All come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon
Someday soon~

"What did you guys think?" Kagome asked the crowd, and they went wild. Kagome smiled out over the crowd.

"Well thank you. I'll be back later, but for now... Here's InuYasha!" She then walked off the stage and handed the mike back to InuYasha.

"Love you Inu." She whispered.

"I love you too Kags." He whispered back before walking out onto the stage.

"We are running a little behind, so we are going to continue one song right into the next for the next few songs okay? Here we go!"

~In the parking lot of a 7/11
With a picture of you like a picture of heaven
But my tears fall down upon the wheel
Breaking apart as how I feel
Just how I feel

Cuz I've been shot down
Everybody turn around
To the sounds of my breaking heart
Just burn
Everybody take a turn
Light a match under my paper heart
Yeah C'mon

A lonely song plays through the radio
I'm lost with no place to go
And as the moon shines down through my windsheild
Well I look for something real

Cuz I've been shot down
Everybody turn around
To the sounds of my breaking heart
Just burn
Everybody take a turn
Light a match under my paper heart
Shot down
Everybody turn around
To the sound of my breaking heart
Just burn everybody take a turn
light a match under my paper heart

Why did you go
So far away
Far away
I have to know
If there's a way
This might change
Till then I'll just
Say

That I've been shot down
Everybody turn around
To the sound of my breaking heart
Just burn
Everybody take a turn
Light a match under my paper heart
Shot down
Everybody turn around
To the sound of my breaking heart
Just burn
Everybody take a turn
Light a match under my paper heart
Yeah
My paper heart~

~Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

And I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder~

~The trouble with girls is they're a mystery
Something about 'em puzzles me
Spent my whole life trying to figure out
Just what them girls are all about
The trouble with girls is they're so dang pretty
Everything about 'em does something to me
But I guess that's the way it's supposed to be

They smile, that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with "hello"
They kill you with "goodbye"
They hook you with one touch and you can't break free
Yeah, the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me

They're sugar and spice and angel wings
And hell on wheels and tight blue jeans
A summer night, down by the lake
An old memory that you can't shake
They're hard to find, yet there's so many of 'em
The way that you hate, that you already love 'em
But I guess that's the way it's supposed to be

The way they hold you out on the dance floor
The way they ride in the middle of your truck
The way they give you a kiss at the front door
Leave you wishing you could have gone up
And just as you walk away
You hear that sweet voice say…
Stay

They smile, that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with "hello"
They kill you with "goodbye"
They're the perfect drug and I can't break free
Yeah, the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me~

"How did you like those three?" The crowd shouted, and he smiled.

"Well, are you ready for the last song?" The crowd booed.

"Well, I'm sorry but that's what's got to happen. Come on out Kagome!" The crowd cheered and then became deathly quiet as the music began with is long intro.

(A/N: Bold- Kagome, Underline- InuYasha, Both- Both)

It feels like we've been out at sea

its too much
feel like i'm drowning without your love
so throw yourself out to me, my life savor

Life saver
It's too much

Life saver

Yeeeeeahhh~

InuYasha had Kagome in his arms by the time the song was over and both were breathing hard. InuYasha nuzzled Kagome's neck, kissing it lightly. He then pulled away and held her hand as he turned to the crowd.

"How was it? Did you guys enjoy it?" The crowd was jumping up and down in their seats.

They both laughed, "We'll take that as a yes. Well, have a great rest of the night, and be safe going home. We love you all, and hope you had fun." They exited the stage and drew each other into a hug.

-About and hour later-

After everything was done Kagome and InuYasha went back to the hotel room where Sesshomaru and Sara were watching baby Rin.

"Thank you so much for watching her you two." Kagome thanked the couple.

"It was no problem Kagome. She is such a sweetheart, we will watch her anytime you need us too." Sara responded. Kagome smiled and her and thanked her again before taking Rin, and her and InuYasha going to their own hotel room since they were 8 hours from home. InuYasha set up the pack-n-play while Kagome got Rin to sleep. Once she was out they put her down before each separately taking showers and climbing into their bed.

InuYasha pulled Kagome to his chest and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Kagome. You are so beautiful. What would I ever do without you?" He whispered in her ear.

She looked at him, "I'm sure you would be doing whatever you were doing before you met me."

"Yeah, and with the path I had been on I would probably be dead." He responded. She pulled away and sat up giving him a weird look.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well, the whole reason I moved here and to the school was because my dad caught me smoking meth for the first time. After that he gave me a huge lecture and 3 days later we moved here. I haven't touched any of it since." He explained.

"Oh..." was all she said. He put his index finger under her chin making her look at him.

"I will never ever do that again. You don't need to worry, I promise." He promised her.

"Okay." She whispered, "I love you Inu."

"I love you too Kags, always."
