Phoenix Chapter 15: Arguments Bring Out The Trut, an inuyasha fanfic

Last Time

"YOU SEE EACHOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER AND ALL YOU DO IS YELL? IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT THEN GO INTO THE DAMNED APARTMENT!"

Kagome and InuYasha listened to Sango and almost laughed when half the people who were watching them had confused looks on their faces. It seemed that the arguing couple only understood Sango's Japanese. Kagome suspected someone would understand, but it turned out that no one did.

Now

Nobody in the area could understand why two young people would be arguing over some clothes and a few bite marks, but then again to the older people it probably meant more than it was supposed to.

"Kagome," InuYasha tried to reason, "I don't understand why your so upset. You act like you didn't want anything to happen. Which is clearly un-true, even if it was a ploy to get me out of there so that I could sleep somewhere else." InuYasha thought he made perfect sense, the woman had thrown herself at him, and she was clearly enjoying herself until she grabbed his pillow and made him sleep in the living room. "And anyway," he continued, "I wouldn't have done it but you were just lying there and you started talking to me in your sleep. Bitching about how I never seemed to care about you all those years ago when we were fighting the battles, never reciprocating your feelings. If I had let you know how I really felt, you would have for sure died. Something would've happened that would tear you away from me, just like with Kikyo. I know you hate hearing about her, but it's the truth. I finally admitted to myself that I had real love for her and then she was taken from me in such a violent way."

Kagome just stared at the man in front of her for a few minutes and then walked up the stairs to the apartment and shut the door on him. She figured he would just go home and not bother her for a while. But she was wrong. When she got into her room in the apartment, it was almost like when she was young. InuYasha was waiting for her in her room with a scowl on his face.

"Now Kagome you know that you can't lock me out. I always get to you," he said smugly walking up to her.
"InuYasha," she said staring up into his eyes. "Go away, I don't want to see or speak to you right now. What I need is to get my stuff together because I have class in the morning and if I miss that mythology class again I'll get kicked out."

When InuYasha left, Kagome turned on the radio to whatever station had something playing. She figured it would be fun to listen to another type of music for once, but what she got instead was heart wrenching in a way she didn't understand.

"Well here is the newest from a young star who just hit it big, it's called 'Tim McGraw' by Taylor Swift. Did you know she's one of the youngest country singers to hit the big time since Leanne Rhymes…"

As the djs voice faded away, a soft tune played

'He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said , That's a lie
Just a boy in a Chevy truck that had a tendency of getting stuck
On back roads at night and I was right there beside him
All summer long and then the time we woke up to find that summer gone.'

Kagome didn't know why, but she had the desire to listen more to the song. It had nothing to do with her and InuYasha, and yet it struck a nerve.

When you think Tim McGraw , I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness, I hope you think that little black dress
Think my head on your chest and my old faded blue jeans,
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me.

InuYasha was listening to the same song as he went home that day. He figured that there was a reason why he was listening to it and didn't change the station.

September saw a month of tears and thanking God
That you weren't here, to see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
Its hard not to find it all a little bittersweet
And looking back on all of that
Its nice to believe

The more he listened, the more InuYasha wanted to go back to Kagome's and apologize. It was something he wouldn't normally do. "I don't know what it is," he said to himself as he pulled into his driveway. "Maybe I'm just loosing it."

"Yash," came a girls voice. He hoped it was Kagome, so he turned around. Instead of finding the woman he loved, he found Sasha.

"What?" he asked, "I thought you were going home."

"No silly," she said walking up to him. "I wanted to apologize for last night, and this morning."

Kagome knew crying wasn't the answer. But she did it anyway, maybe it was because she loved InuYasha so much. Whatever the reason was, she got up, put on her clothes and a little makeup to conceal how red her face had gotten. When she went into the hallway the phone started ringing.

And I'm back for the very first time since then
I'm standing on your street,
There's a letter left on your door step
And the first thing you'll read is

"Hello?"

"Hi Kagome," said the voice on the other line, "it's James from psychology. How are you?"

When you think Tim McGraw , I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness, I hope you think that little black dress
Think my head on your chest and my old faded blue jeans,
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me.
Think of me.
He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, That's a lie

A.N. I don't own anything. I sure as hell don't own any of the InuYasha characters, or the song 'Tim McGraw' by Taylor Swift. I do own Sasha and James though. Hope you like it. I will be updating a lot lately. I AM NOW A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!!!
