Falling For The First Time

'He thinks he's so cool, he couldn't even do any of this without me!' she inwardly reassured herself. As usual the half-dog demon, and the priestess from the future had argued. Now Kagome stomped back to the well, she would show him! She would go back to her own time! He would come back for her, he always does. 'Maybe I don't want him too.' Kagome lied to herself, 'He's not worth this.' But oh, how he was worth it.

InuYasha sat in the tree, ignoring the fight that kept replaying through his head. InuYasha didn't need her, she was just a jewel detector. He could find the shards all by himself, he could defeat Naraku single-handedly, he could do anything. And he didn't need anyone to help him.

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby

Unwanted thoughts of the girl he had just fought with flowed, unstoppable, into his mind. The images flashed slowly, one by one, Kagome calling out his name, Kagome protecting him from Sesshoumaru, after he had become a full demon. By the lake, when he couldn't get the smell of blood to go away, she was there. And then his thoughts turned to another priestess, the one he had loved so long ago. Why were these feelings so familiar to him? It felt just like when he was with Kikyou.

I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Kagome was jealous. Green with envy. Why her? What was so special about Kikyou? Was there anything wrong with Kagome herself? 'No, no no.' she answered herself, 'InuYasha is just a jerk. He always has been, and always will be.'

Kagome had always been the image of purity. The cleanest of the clean. But one dark spot lay in her heart. The only dirt she couldn't rid herself of. She could purify jewel shards, was kind to everyone, and on top of that she was pretty. But that tiny speck of dirt, remained on her heart.

I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.

InuYasha's memories we're a mess, he didn't want to feel like this again. Wasn't this what had messed him up the first time? 'I'm not messed up.' he convinced himself. 'I'm not. I'm perfectly sane.' Though, if the memories keep flowing non-stop he wasn't going to be sane for very long.

The smarter part of him argued, 'It's strange that it feels just like the first time.' InuYasha couldn't believe that, he didn't want too. He didn't need too. Although deep down he already knew he did.

I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost

"He thinks he's so perfect. Too bad he's not." Kagome muttered, in the comfort of her own room, not caring that she was talking to herself.

Her mother knocked on the door, "Kagome, honey, can I come in?"

"Yes Mama." Kagome replied.

Her mother entered and sat on the end of Kagome's bed, "Did you and InuYasha have another fight?" she asked.

Kagome rolled onto her back so she could see her mother and nodded. "He's such a jerk Mama! Why does he have to be so mean? Why can't this be easy?"

"Even things that seem easy can be complicated. Most have a cost too." Her mother told her.

Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost

Inside, InuYasha knew that he was stupid, he was over-reacting, he always did. He just didn't want to lose the one he loved again. He had lost Kikyou and that had tore him apart.

What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?

Fifty years ago, InuYasha had been so sure of what he had to do. What had gone wrong? Why couldn't he choose a path? Had there always been this many paths to choose from? Time goes so fast, when all you want it to do is slow down and sometimes even stop and rewind.

What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Kagome was falling for him all over again. Every time she convinced herself that it was over, she didn't love him, she was bam, head over heels again. "Things can only get better right?" she asked herself.

I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing

Why couldn't InuYasha just leave Kagome alone? He had to stick his nose into everything. He hated not being included and when he wasn't he turned cold. He didn't talk, or when he did, there was an icy air to his voice. He was nosy. That was all, he wanted to know what Kagome was doing, when, where, why and even how. He followed her, like a puppy, much like he had done with Kikyou.

I'm so done, turn me over cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

He was done hiding. He was finished. It was over. He was in love again, he wanted to admit, but he couldn't. It was love all over again.

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost

Kagome climbed out of the well, surprised, but not really, to see InuYasha sitting with his back against it. "Hey." she said.

He grunted in acknowledgement.

"I'm sorry, I let my feelings get in the way of our goal." She apologized, "Going this way, we'll never get to defeat Naraku."

Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?

Kagome was willing to put her love aside, until after Naraku's demise.

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost

Apologizing would be easy for InuYasha, but it would make him look unperfect. He knew Kagome was expecting an apology, as she had just said one to him. He wouldn't apologize. Instead he just nodded, and replied, "Let's get going then!" and he jumped up.

Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost

Kagome's face fell, but her smile was almost instantly replaced. She didn't want to lose InuYasha, so even if he didn't love her, he was still her friend. She took his hand.

Feeling Kagome squeeze his hand, he smiled, a genuine smile, not a smirk. It was his way of apologizing without speaking.

What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?

Finally, it seemed they were headed in the right direction. They had finally chosen the correct path. Time didn't matter as long as they had eachother.

What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
Maybe the worst is behind

Time would heal the wounds, and the worst was over. A mutual understanding was reached, through no words though. Just feelings. Feelings they would keep out of the way until Naraku was dead. After that? Well, then the worst would definetly be behind them.
