I felt I left my first chapter unfinished so I have decided to make this a two-shot fic :)…
I do not own Inuyasha or Keith Whitley's song.
Don't Close Your Eyes
Kagome's POV
Kagome returns home from another exhausting day at school. Life just seems so dull now that she is once again a full time high school student. It's been about a month since Kagome has seen Inuyasha and all her emotions about him are still draining her. Kagome puts her backpack on the floor of her room and crashes onto her bed. "Ahhh, that's more like it! I think I will take a little nap" Kagome falls asleep and is assaulted by the memories she oppresses in her waking hours. She lets herself love him only in her dreams.
Inuyasha's POV
Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome…. "Inuyasha, would you kindly stop tapping your foot? It's quite annoying you see…" Kaede can see he is suffering and is trying her best to comfort him, but these days he is inconsolable. "Shut up! I'll do what I want, got that?" "Humph, why don't you just go see her and leave this old woman to her duties?" "Keh, fine…but I'm not going cuz ya told me to!" Inuyasha runs to the old well listening to Kaede's laughter all the way.
Kagome POV
Kagome wakes to someone holding her…in her peripheral vision she sees silver. Jeez, I miss him so much that I'm starting to hallucinate. I have to get a grip…Wait! He knows she's awake and holds her tighter not willing to let her escape. "Hey, you're awake." "W-what are you doing here?" "I uhhh kinda missed ya alright." "You always say that Inuyasha what makes this time any different?" "I…don't know but, just stay with me, please." "You really hurt me, you know." "I didn't hur" "Inuyasha don't deny it. You can hold me…just for a little while."
I know you loved her
A long time ago
Even
now in my arms
You still want her I know
But darling this
time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't
close your eyes
Inuyasha's POV
Inuyasha looks into Kagome's eyes and sees the broken, subdued…defeated look in them. Did I break her that badly? God I'm such an idiot… I can't even look at her this way. Inuyasha looks away from Kagome's expression. "No, don't look away from me Inuyasha. I know when you look at me all you see is Kikyo. But I want you to see what I have become and I want you to know you are the cause. Hurt like I have and know my pain."
Don't close your
eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's her
In some
fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go and
You'll find
more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you
love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Inuyasha forces himself to look at her. They stay like this for hours and her expression is still the same. But, through all of the pain he sees her love as well and…that gives him hope. I have been so selfish. I thought I was the only one who could hurt this much. Maybe…Kikyo should stay in my memories.
Kagome's POV
Why am I doing this to myself when I know he will scamper off to Kikyo right after this?
Maybe I've been a
fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing
she's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see
the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes
"Kagome, I love you." What? "I will give Kikyo up, I promise" "Inuyasha, don't play with me. I can't take anymore lies…" "I mean it! Please just don't look so defeated…I love the strong and happy Kagome. I plan to make you that person again. Inuyasha then kisses Kagome and she finally feels his love for her, "Okay Inuyasha but I want you to know one more thing" Kagome lets one tear fall from her face and Inuyasha waits patiently for her words. "You are my undoing, my love for you taints my heart…you're my reason for falling from grace. But, you are also my addiction…my one and only love and that's enough for me." They kissed one more time and went back to the Fuedal Era hand in hand and when they were in the middle of transcending time she finally said it.
"I love you too, Inuyasha" And I will forever.
Just hold me tight
When
you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Hope you enjoyed it:)
