Ok, so the song that I'm using in here is originally sung in japenese, but in order for you to understand it, I used the english translation. So, I hope you enjoy.
Discliamer: I own neither Inuyasha nor the song Masquerade by Hitomi.
"Kagome, how long are you going to study for?" Inuyasha asked as he sat cross-legged on her bed.
"For the rest of the night Inuyasha, I have a very important test tomorrow that I can't fail," Kagome explained to the bored half-demon, "Just relax and listen to the music."
"Ooh, I love this song!" Kagome squealed when Masquerade by Hitomi came on.
With my heart locked away
I don a cold demeanor and a mask
Who knows my honest face?
Aside from you
As Inuyasha listened to the words, he was shocked. They matched him perfectly. Everybody always treated him horribly because he was half-demon, so when Kikyo sealed him to the tree and betrayed him, he locked his heart away to protect himself from others. He gave anyone who even looked at him a cold look and made sure to stay away from everyone. He could trust no one, but then Kagome came along and he opened up to her slowly without even realizing it. He only showed Kagome who he really was. She was the only one he would let in to his heart.
Having never once thought that
I wanted to expose my weakness or my strength
I have hid my tears
From someone who can show me her true face
I can't lose you when I kept on searching for you
Inuyasha felt like the song described him perfectly. He could never expose his weakness to others because they would surely use it against him, especially Naraku. He couldn't expose his strength either, if Naraku or any of his opponents knew that he was stronger when Kagome was with him, they would…no, he wouldn't let that happen. Even when things got bad, he never cried, the only time he really remembered crying was when he thought Kagome was dead from being poisoned. He had thought he had lost her. He had never felt so much pain before. He couldn't lose her, he had always heard that there was one person out there for everyone, but he didn't think there was someone out there for him. No, no one would want a lowly half-demon, but he found her, he found Kagome.
You're my destiny
I want to try believing in you
Though I still don't know the eternal meaning
You're my destiny
If I compose tomorrow's dream
It will turn into destiny
Say you'll share with me one love
Kagome was his destiny. Even if Naraku had not interfered and attacked Kikyo in disguise, there was never enough trust or love between them, if there was, he would never had ended up pinned to the Goshinboku for fifty years. He would let himself try believing in someone one more time. He would believe in Kagome because she was always there for him. He wanted to stay with Kagome forever. He hoped that she loved him just as much as he loved her.
In order to grasp things with my own hands
I've lived up 'til now by calmly hurting others
But what's been left behind
In these hands of mine is nothing but solitude
Before Kagome, Inuyasha thought he could afford to place his trust in no one, so he just kept to himself and if anyone tried to talk to him, he would yell at them or do something that would hurt them so that they wouldn't come back, but doing that left him with nothing and no one. He was alone in the world, that was the way he thought he had to live.
I won't wish for anything, as long as you're with me
You're my destiny
I want to open my heart
To the love that I can't surrender
You're my destiny
The bonds I feel
Tell me our meeting was destiny
Say you'll share with me one love
He had decided not too long ago that he wouldn't wish on the jewel. The only reason he was going to become full demon in the first place was so that he would be accepted, but now that he had Kagome, he didn't need to be a full demon to be accepted. Kagome loved him the way he was. He knew that Kagome was his destiny because only he and Kagome could travel through the well. He knew they had a strong bond. Every time Kagome was gone, she was all he could think about, that's why he always came to pick her up early. When Naraku was defeated and the jewel complete, would she stay with him? She had to, he wouldn't let her go. He couldn't live without her.
You're my destiny
I want to try believing in you…
You're my destiny
If I compose tomorrow's dream…
You're my destiny
I want to open my heart
To the love that I can't surrender
You're my destiny
The bonds I feel
Tell me our meeting was destiny
Say you'll share with me one love
As the song ended, Inuyasha continued in his thoughts. He wanted to tell Kagome he loved her, to let her know that he would always be with her and everything would be alright, but it wasn't the right time yet. Sometime soon, though, he would tell Kagome his feelings and ask her to be his forever. He looked forward to that day, to the future that they would have together. The love that they would share. The destiny that they would share.
Here are the original lyrics for those of you that are curious:
Kokoro ni kagi wo kaketa mama
Tsumetai taido de kamen wo mi ni tsukeru
Dare ga boku no sugao
Shitte iru darou? Kimi no hoka ni ha
Jibun no yowasa mo tsuyosa mo
Sarakedashitai nante ichido mo omowazu ni
Namida kakushite kita
Hontou no kao wo miserareru hito
Sagashitsudzuketeta kimi wo ushinaenai
You're My Destiny
Shinjite mitai
Eien no imi ha mada wakaranai kedo
You're My Destiny
Ashita no yume wo
Tsudzureba sore ga unmei ni kawaru
Say you'll share with me one love
Kono te ni tsukamitoru tame ni
Heiki de kizutsukete koko made ikite kita
Dakedo kodoku dake ga
Kono boku no te ni nokosareta mono
Nanimo nozomanai kimi ga soba ni ireba
You're My Destiny
Kokoro wo akete
Uchiaketai yuzurenai omoi wo
You're My Destiny
Kanjiru kizuna
Futari no deai unmei nanda to
Say you'll share with me one love
You're My Destiny
Shinjite mitai...
You're My Destiny
Ashita no yume wo...
You're My Destiny
Kokoro wo akete
Uchiaketai yuzurenai omoi wo
You're My Destiny
Kanjiru kizuna
Futari no deai unmei nanda to
Say you'll share with me one love
So, I hoped you liked it, or at least saw that the lyrics fit Inuyasha perfectly. Please R&R!
