Sun's up
A little after twelve
Make breakfast for myself
Leave the work for someone else
People say
They say that its just a phase
They tell me to act my age,
Well I am
On this perfect day,
Nothing's standing in my way
On this perfect day,
When nothing can go wrong
It's the perfect day,
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay, forever as I am
Suns down
A little after ten
I pick up all my friends
In my Mercedes-Benz
Wake up
Don't tell me its just a dream
cause' when I've had enough
You'll hear me say,
Now don't you try to rain on my
Perfect day,
Nothings standing in my way
On this perfect day,
Nothing can go wrong
It's the perfect day,
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay, forever as I am
On this perfect day
La la la
La la la,
Oh, oh
I'm in the race
But I've already won
(la la la)
And getting there can
Be half the fun
(la la la)
So don't stop me
Till' I'm good and done,
Don't you try to rain on my
Perfect day
It's the perfect day
It's the perfect day
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I could stay, forever as I am
On this perfect day
Nothings standing in my way,
On this perfect day,
Nothing can go wrong
I'm in the race
But I've already won
And getting there can
Be half the fun,
So don't stop me
Till' I'm good and done,
Don't you try to rain on my
Perfect, day
On this perfect day
On this perfect day
On this perfect day
FRIDAY [ BEFORE DINNER]
"So what's the plan?" I asked chopping the carrot in quick slices.
"I dunno," Inuyasha shrugged and set the pot on the stove. "The park doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore."
"Why?" I set the knife on the counter and picked up the cutting board. "What the heck made you attack Koga in the first place?"
He made room for me so I could pour in the carrots. "I just felt like...I should protect you or whatever...it was just – I don't know!"
I set the board down in the sink and began to wash it. When I was finished, he took it from me when I handed it to him and dried it with a green towel, putting the board on the dish rack when he finished. We had gotten used to this routine. Our mothers – including Inuyasha's dad – forced us into the kitchen and told us to make dinner. At first we were hostile to each other but as time went on we accepted it and started to cooperate. I had a feeling that the adults planned it that way. "Well, of that topic, where are we going tomorrow?"
"I have no idea," he responded. "I didn't really think."
I rolled my eyes and wiped my hands dry. "Of course you didn't." Seeing as his ears drooped slightly at this, I quickly added, "We could call it off you want."
He shook his head. "A Taisho never backs out from his word."
I was taken aback. "Do you – are you sure? I mean, you probably only said that to spite Koga."
He let out a smile. "Yeah, but still I will show you something you've never seen before."
"What? A talking platypus?" I joked.
"Even better." He grinned suddenly. "I have the perfect plan."
"What could be better than a talking platypus?" I stared at him wondering just what he was thinking.
SATURDAY [4:55 A.M.]
"Inuyasha! Slow down!" I was currently speeding towards the hills because a certain idiot said he wanted to show me something. It was sort of dark out and I could only see the misty figures of the buildings around us. "I'm about to ditch you if you – hrm!" I slammed into his back sending us sprawling forward. I groaned and got up slowly. "Watch it you idiot! You should warn people when you suddenly stop."
He got up and brushed himself off. "You should be more careful and maybe you wouldn't run into things so much."
I put my hands on my hips. "So now it's my fault?"
He shrugged. "More or less."
"Shut up," I yawned. "Anyways, why the heck are we up so darn early?"
"Just wait," he muttered. "I'll carry you from here but don't go yacking my ear off."
"Fine." I gave in and got on his back. Although it was more of a habit now. He always gave me piggyback rides almost everywhere we went nowadays. It was about as far as our 'relationship' had gotten. I'd learned he wasn't going to kill me and he learned that I wasn't a truly awful person.
"Hang on." I tightened my grip and we sped off down the empty road. The world was a blur of colors swirled into one. I never got tired of this feeling. The wind, the colors, the feeling of lightness...it was just indescribable. I sighed in content and rested my head against his warm back. I could almost fall asleep here since it was so comforting. I felt...safe.
"Are we almost there?" I murmured sleepily.
"Don't fall asleep on me now," he grumbled under his breath. "And yeah, just a few more bounds and we'll be there. What time is it?"
I lifted my wrist so I could read my wrist watch. It was a white leather watch with diamonds embedded in the clock face. "Hmm, 5:13."
"Crap," he sped up. He seemed to be determined to get to wherever we were going on time and was almost late it seemed. Then we stopped at the top of a grassy hill that was wet with dew. He didn't seem to care as he set me down carefully on my PJ bottoms and stared off in the distance.
"What're we doing?" I yawned again and my head started to nod off. He yanked me up so I was standing. "Ow!"
"Look," he pointed off in the distance. I stared in the direction sleepily and widened my eyes. There was at first nothing then a slightly orange and pink started to color the clouds. "Do you see it?"
I nodded in a daze. The sunrise was so beautiful. I watched as the large glowing sphere rose slowly into the dull morning sky, casting sunbeams in every direction while it illuminated the small town. I stared out over the grassy plains as the colors made by the rising sun changed, growing more vivid with the passing time. Making the sky more radiant as it climbed higher and higher into the sky. I could only smile in delight. There were almost no words to describe what I felt.
INUYASHA'S POV
I stared off at the beautiful sunrise. It's golden light warmed my skin and flooded my senses. I felt warm and comfortable with Kagome at my side. I turned looked at her and saw that she smiling and her eyes were bright with delight. Her smile took my breath away and to me, was more beautiful than the sunrise itself.
"Isn't this better than a talking platypus?" I grinned at my joke.
"Way better." She nodded without taking her eyes away from the horizon. I smiled, swelling with pride. I showed her something better than she imagined and I felt pretty damn good about it. "Thanks, Inuyasha. It's beautiful."
"I told you so," I stuck out my tongue and she only laughed. My ear twitched. It was like wind chimes, her laugh. "So you wanna stay here for a while or start our date?"
She gave me a puzzled look. "You mean there's more?"
I laughed. "Yeah, why do you sound so disappointed?"
"I'm not!" She said with a blush. "It's just - " she shook her head. "Nevermind, let's just start our date."
"Are you sure? You look like you're enjoying yourself."
"Let's just get going." She gave me a halfhearted scowl. "Don't tell push your luck, mister."
I rolled my eyes and gestured for her to get on my back. She wasn't as heavy as I said; she was more like weightless. I loved messing around with her and getting her flustered. It also meant she was too busy with me to bother with anyone else. And as much as he hated it, he loved her company and looked forward to seeing her smile everyday. In fact, it seemed like they were becoming friends. Whoa, friends. With Kagome. What a shocker!
"And why is that a shocker?" Kagome asked acrimoniously.
He blushed. I really have to be careful about what I think. Ugh, I can't believe I said that out loud! Now our friendship could be screwed. "Nothing, just a thought."
"Oh," he could still feel the tension in her legs. She was still bothered by it.
"What time is it?" I asked changing the subject. She seemed relieved when I asked this and relaxed.
"About 5:54." She replied with a yawn. "I'm a little tired."
"Do you want to stop by at home and catch some sleep first?" I asked politely. She didn't respond. "Kagome? Hello?" I turned my head slightly and she was sleeping with a peaceful expression. I shook my head and muttered, "Hopeless girl. Honestly, you're having a conversation and she just passes out on you...literally."
IZAYOI
I stretched and yawned with fatigue. I heard Inuyasha and Kagome leave almost an hour ago. I wondered what they were up to. A smile lit up my face. Maybe they were spending some bonding time together. Finally, they would treat each other politely. Maybe they would grow up and have kids! I squealed in excitement and looked over at my husband who was sleeping like a log. I placed a kiss on his head and swung out of bed.
"Alright, Izayoi," I fluffed my hair and picked up the car keys. "You're only going to check up on the kids. You're definitely not spying on them, why that's preposterous. You'd never do that!"
"Where are you going?" Strong arms embraced me.
"Out to check on the kids," I replied cheerily.
"Oh?" Inutaisho raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're not spying on them?"
I giggled. "Now, now dear. I wouldn't something like that."
He smiled a little and placed a kiss on my neck making my spine tingle. "Can I come too?"
"Curious?" I asked seductively.
"About why my son has actually gotten up before the sun on a Saturday, yes."
"How true." We started down the hallway and I wondered if Kun-Loon would want to come.
"Is something the matter?" He asked when she paused.
She shook her head with a smile. Kun-Loon would hate to be woken up so early. "It's nothing. Let's just go dear."
He chuckled and reached for the keys. "I'll drive."
"Aww, I want to!" She giggled quietly and put them behind her back. "Please? It's so early and no one's out!"
He looked at her for a moment and sighed. "Fine. But don't go to fast."
"Thanks, love!" She kissed him on the cheek and bounded to the other side of the black Lexus. "Buckle your seat belt dear!"
"I know I should if you're driving," he smirked.
"Don't tease me," she pouted.
"You know I love you dear," he quickly covered his amusement.
She smiled and started the car. "I know you do."
KAGOME'S POV
"Hey, Inuyasha?" I lifted my head.
"Yeah?"
"Can you put me down?"
"Why?"
"I just need to get some exercise is all," he slowed to a stop and allowed me to slip off of his back near the crosswalk. He straightened up and turned to look at me. I smiled and yawned again. Blinking back the sleepy tears, I looked out in the misty town. Who knew it could get so thick?
"Come on slowpoke," he gestured for me to hurry. "We're almost home."
"Okay!" I slowly dragged my feet towards him and tried not to sleepwalk. That would be embarrassing.
"Come one, Kagome!" He said impatiently. "What's taking you so long?"
"I'm coming," I snapped back drowsily. "Just wait, will ya?"
"Girls." He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. I squinted towards his blurry figure and noticed two lights in the foggy mist. "They always take forever and when they're finally there all they do is complain, complain, complain."
He started walking and talking at the same time as we crossed together. I suddenly paused in mid stride wondering why a bad feeling suddenly came over me.."Hey...Inu – GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
I shoved him towards the curb and he stared at me with those pools of golden light with surprise. But it only lasted a moment as I heard a sickening crunch sound and my world exploded in a vision of red and black. Even Inuyasha couldn't save me.
[A/N]: Alrighty, I haven't uploaded in a while and I know this chapter is a bit short but I really tried to put more effort in this one. I don't think there'll be a better chapter than this one! Aww, just when Inuyasha and Kagome gets close and stops loathing each other, misfortune steps in!
FYI: Kun-Loon is Kagome's mother...just in case you were wondering! And also...Inuyasha is not mine...ugh.
R&R please!
