A/N: ok, this is a shot at Inu/Kag, which I SUCK at writing, but I thought this is a good Inu/Kag song.

Dedication: Linkmaster27 This one's for you! If Tori-chan asks... just say you asked for it.

Crash and Burn

Kagome and Inuyasha sat together underneath the night sky, Inuyasha seemed distance, and he asked Kagome a strange question.

"Kagome, would you ever try to change me?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome was taken aback, Why is he asking such a thing? "No, Inuyasha, I like the person you are now, and the person I'll hope you'll stay." She replied.

"Everyone, else seemed to think I needed to change," Inuyasha said gruffly punching the ground, "Ever since I was little."

It was only then that Kagome really truly realized how much Inuyasha's past affected him.

"Inuyasha, I know so little about your past, can you tell me?" she asked, gently prodding at the hanyou's unwanted memories.

Inuyasha sighed angrily, "I've told you before Kagome, I was always alone, and even now I am, because no has been through what I have."

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

"Inuyasha, I may not have been with you then, but I'm here now, "Kagome said, "and I'll always be ready to listen." Daringly she took Inuyasha clawed hand and said, "Because that's what a friend is for."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome hand, clasping his larger, clawed one, and poured out his feelings, "I've never told anyone of this before Kagome, because no one's ever wanted to hear it. Growing up alone was tough no matter where I went I was an outsider, not accepted with demons because of my 'pathetic human side' not accepted with humans because of my 'dangerous demon side'. I was trapped on the edge of a cliff and I had to jump." Inuyasha was glad Kagome was here. Exceptionally glad. Kagome had broken his fall.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

"I felt whole when I met Kikyou, but she wanted to change me, I would because I loved her, " Inuyasha said, hoping Kagome caught the past tense. "After she betrayed my heart felt like it was literally in pieces, Kikyou was the first person to love me since my mother. She didn't trust me enough to tell me that I was not a traitor. Even Kikyou was against me."

"Inuyasha, Kikyou may not have trusted you, but I do," Kagome said gently, "I always will, because I know you'll never hurt me, and I know you'll be there for me, like I am for you."

If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

A single tear slid down Inuyasha's face and he swatted it away quickly. "Kagome, you have no idea what it feels like to wan to break down and cry, and not be able to do you?"

Kagome shook her head, "I've always been lucky enough to have people around, who let me cry."

"While I couldn't cry, it wasn't demon like, and yet I've always wanted to. I've never let more than three tears escape. Crying was a sign of weakness and I had to be strong. But even now, while I'm surrounded by friends, I'm still haunted with the nightmares of my past, when I couldn't find a friend."

"And when you felt like you were trapped?" Kagome asked

Inuyasha nodded and another tear slipped onto his cheek. 'I hate crying, but I hate not being able to cry. I've never been able to reach my goals either"

"What do you mean?" Kagome inquired.

"I've always been one step behind. I couldn't get the jewel, I couldn't save Kikyou and I can't kill Naraku." Inuyasha replied, "I'm always so close and yet so far.'

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

"Inuyasha, I'm glad you're finally starting to open up," Kagome smiled at him and squeezed his hand, "we both know we can't change the past, but there is always someone who's ready to help, someone will always be by your side, you just have to look for the right person. Sometimes the world may seem like a giant thunderstorm and then you see one person and they're your ray of sunshine. A tiny glimpse at a person you need."

"I don't understand Kagome, "What do you mean?"

"I mean you can always find someone one who's willing to listen, and I promise I'll always be willing," She replied.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

"Inuyasha," Kagome called to him, he was lost in thought, "I don't think you'll ever forget Kikyou, and I don't think all of you wants to, you said you didn't love her, but part of you may love the her before her death, and that is why you can't tell her to go back. Am I right?"

Inuyasha thought for a moment longer, "It's true, but I found someone who even more special than Kikyou, I'll never actually stop loving Kikyou with that part of me, but there's room in my heart for more than one person, still I'm afraid of a repetition."

And there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

"Trust me, everyone's suffered heartbreak, even me. Wait, did you say you met another person?" Kagome asked praying that it wasn't some other girl.

Shit! Did is say that out loud? Inuyasha asked himself, no use in lying now. "Yes, I did find someone. But somehow I know she will always be here for me, even if I'm feeling alone."

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Kagome's heart skipped a beat, "Remember Inuyasha, I'll you have to do is call my name when your in need."

Inuyasha smiled, a genuine one, and quickly he pulled Kagome onto his lap. Kagome was extremely surprised. Inuyasha bent his head and whispered in her ear, "Kagome, I need you to stay by my side always, I know you will, I just want you to say it."

"Inuyasha as long as I'm around I promise I will not abandon you" Kagome replied, "and I promise to try and mend the seems of your heart,"

"Thank you, you mean more than anyone else to me Kagome." Inuyasha stated, "I... I love you."

Kagome was even more surprised and she stammered, "I... I love you too, Inuyasha."

Quickly Inuyasha hugged her tightly.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

"Thank you for helping me understand, that I'm not alone" Inuyasha whispered stroking Kagome's hair.

"You never will be," Kagome said.

And the sun rose over the crest of Japan, and the others woke. Inuyasha and Kagome mentioned nothing of their overnight conversation but, the two had bridged a rift in their relationship and now they were closer than ever.

The End

A/N: Wow, that sucked didn't it? I told you I cannot write Inu/Kag, but it's not bad. I hope. You tell me! R&R
