Disclaimer: I don't own this song Keith Urban does, it's called 'She's Gotta Be' I also don't own the InuYasha cast. Also I'm sorry for not updating in so long I was/am editing all of my stories so it maybe a while before my next updation. But as an apology I'm going to post another chapter right after I post this.

InuYasha sighed, something he'd been doing alot lately, that and sitting watching the well, hoping she'd come. 'Damn.' he thought, 'I screwed it all up this time.' How many time's had he insulted her, made her cry, make her run back home heartbroken. He kept promising himself he wouldn't hurt her anymore, he'd be helping her get over everything that hurt her. But how could he do that when he's the reason she cries.

So much for never makin' the same mistake
I can't believe I'm here again
So much for ever thinkin' that I could change
My good intentions still remain in chains

The honey-eyed hanyou jumped out of the tree and started to pace back and forth infront of the well. 'I think this time I really broke her. She, she probably hates me now. Like everyone else does.' His dog ears drooped and he held back a whimper, 'Sesshomaru, why did he follow her into the well. Hell, that icicle would hurt her less than I have. At least he wouldn't lie to her...I broke her... I have to fix it. I love her to much to not. But first I got to deal with Kikyo. '

She's gotta be over me now
Probably moved on with her life.
Found someone she knows she can believe.
I would give anything if I could just go back again
And be the man she needed me to be.

InuYasha sped throught the trees looking for his past love. How many times had he soared through these exact trees going to rescue Kagome. How many times had he saved her. But she was the real heroine. How many times had she saved him from being lonely, how many times had she saved him from the demon the raged his very soul. He saved her but he was the one who needed help the most.

I thought I was a hero
I played him well
He saves the day but not himself

When the inu arrived at his destination he stopped, "Kikyo." He watched as she slowly turned to him, he looked her square in the eyes, her eyes weren't the warm, soft brown they used to be they were cold and hard. "We need to talk."

"Walk with me InuYasha..."

InuYasha took a deep breath, "I can't. I'm sorry." He looked into her eyes for any trace of emotion, but he found none.

"Why?"

He looked the undead miko straight in the eyes, "I can't go to hell with you. I have to stay."

"My reincarnation."

"Her name is Kagome. Ka-go-me. Kikyo, I don't think we ever truley loved each other. You never excepted me as a half-demon. My Kagome does."

He watched as the miko stare hardened even more. "InuYasha, are you telling me you choose her over me?"

He did not hesitate at all, not even for a moment. "Yes." He would not make the same mistake with Kagome as he did with Kikyo.

I acted out the lover
My finest part
Had all the lines but not the heart.
Now look where we are.

He watched as Kikyo's figured faded into the shadows. "Kagome..." He didn't know who he was kidding, his brother, and so many other men were around Kagome in her time. But he had to try, he had to at least put up a fight. He knew he didn't love Kikyo, and to act like he loved her would hurt not only him but it would hurt Kikyo as well. Losing Kagome really set things straight, let's just hope he can get her back. Let's just hope he can do things right.

She's gotta be over me now

InuYasha walked back to the well thinking about everything his Kagome deserved. 'She needs some one to stay by her side. Some one to who'd jump infront of her, even if it risk their own life.' InuYasha scrunched his eyebrows, 'Thinking about it now, Sesshomaru's done all that in his own way and now he's even taking time from his life to help her.'

Be the man she could trust, who put her first
Who tamed his demons, who healed her hurts

The hanyou sighed and sat down on a rock near a stream. "Hell Kouga would be better for her than me." InuYasha picked up a small stone and throw it into the waters before him. How many time's had she gotten colds because he wouldn't stop because of rain, how many ''tests'' had she missed because he was to obsessed with the jewel to let them all take a break, it was a shock everyone didn't hate him. 'I'm surprised she's stayed as long as she did.'

In health and sickness, who helped her grow
With no resentment, true repeantance.

He stood back up and continued his walk. Thinking about what he could do to win her back. 'Wasn't she rabbling on one day about how her friend's boy friend had given her flowers as an apology.' InuYasha punched a nearby tree, "DAMN IT!! I should have listened more. I should of done alot of things. Kagome I'm so sorry..." The hanyou roughly swiped the unshed tears out of his golden eyes. "I bet that bastard brother of mine is listening to everything she's saying. I bet he's just soaking everything about this up. Boosting his damn ego."

But maybe his brother was onto something, maybe...

She's gotta be over me now

Maybe he should listen to Sango on this one. Hadn't the demon slayed said that all a girl really wanted was a guy to hear her out, let her cry on his shoulder, comfort them, and always be honest. Now if he get on the other side of the well. The next time he'd see her he'd tell her how he felt and listen to what she said.

I would give anything if I could just go back again
And be the man she needed me to be.

InuYasha didn't even notice that he sat on the lip of the well till Shippo startled him,"InuBaka." The kit had started calling him that as soon his momma left, he didn't saying in a scolding or loathful way, he said it as if he was stating the obvious. "Are you gonna go and get Momma?" For the first time the inu saw just how much the kitsune missed his surrogate mother. The emerald eyes of his friend had lost the mischievous glow they had always had and the childish luster. Now the kit's eyes were soloum and serious, he's become just as cold as the Taiyoukai that was with his Kagome.

"Yeah, I'm going to get her."

"InuBaka I promise you this." The kitsune's emerald eyes slowly took on a crimson colour, "If you ever make my momma weep tears of sorrow again, I will personally see to it that you will be incapble of moving, let alone crying.

She's gotta be over me now
Probably moved on with her life.
Found someone she knows she can believe.

InuYasha eyed the kit though many years his younger and and several feet the smaller, there has been battles the proved the kit's strength and InuYasha knew the young demon was serious. Memebers of inu, ookami, kitsune, and other canine breeds, you never messed with. And InuYasha had hurt the kit's mother. "I promise you this Shippo. I'd rather have Jakutso himself castrate me, than ever hurt Kagome like that again. I wish I never had. I wish I could do it all over."

I would give anything if I could just go back again
And be the man she needed me to be.

Cold emerald locked with dull gold, after a few moments Shippo spoke, "You speak the truth, but you need to hurry, Momma's told me somethings."

"Like what, runt?" InuYasha was slowly getting agrivated at the child, he'd changed so much in a couple years.

Emerald glinted and Shippo licked his lips. "Wouldn't you like to know InuBaka." With that said he vanished.

InuYasha's glared at the ground. What the kit said really got to him. 'Killing her son won't help...damn...' Why didn't he just do things right the first time. But now he was going to be. Now he knew what he did wrong. The inu turned around his legs dangling over the edge. Would the well accept him this time. Would it see he was ready to change, ready to be the man she needed him to be. He slid his whole body off the ledge, waiting for the comforting blue sensation to over take his senses.

She needed me to be
She needed me to be, Oh Whoa
Yeah, I could be that man she needed me, she needed me to be.

Yep, It's a cliffie this time. Bout time I put Inu back in here ain't it. If your wondering why Shippo seemed so cold and wise. Well this takes place a few years into the shard search, he's aged some plus after seeing InuYasha make his mother cry so many times he's starting to disregaurd InuYasha, looking at him similar to how Kouga does.

Yesh another edited I'm getting gooder at this. :P
