Yesterday, the internet was down for a while so I couldn't write much. I'll try to make this a little longer than usual to make up for it. I have to crochet while I write, so it will take a lot longer to write today... Hehe.

Inuyasha: Your crochet is horrible. It's all uneven.

K.x.S: Meanie! :'(

Kagome: Inuyasha! Be nice to her. She is trying her best. Her scarf is very pretty.

K.x.S: Well, he is right: It is uneven. But, It's nice. Mostly white, with multi-colored stripes.

Sesshomaru: I'm sure It's fine. K.x.S does not and can not own Inuyasha, but she does own this fanfic.

K.x.S: Why, thank you, Sesshomaru! *nearly faints* Well, thanks to ChibiLoveSama and Shadow Kitsune67 for your wonderful reviews. Those were the best, so I'm going to mix your names together to get Inuyasha's new girlfriend! Yay! Also, thanks to my other reviewers: LycanStorm, S3rrenity4193, and kashiangel07. Your reviews helped alot. I love all of my reviewers and readers for their help and support.


"Lessons Learned"

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some better endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo.
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
When life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
And everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should have taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
And everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
Are the things that make you strong!
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone.
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
From everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
From every change, life has thrown me.
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Lessons learned.
Lessons learned.

Chapter 4: Lessons Learned


Sango caught up to Kagome after school Monday. "Kagome, Please tell me about Inuyasha's girlfriend." She was gasping for breath after her run.

Kagome stood there for a moment. Then she sighed, and said, "Her name was Kikyo. She was lovely. She and Inuyasha had been dating for two years when Sesshomaru asked me out. Anyway, we got to be good friends. It helped that we looked a lot alike. We were on our way to the mall with dad driving, and her in the backseat beside me, when a drunk driver hit the driver's side of the car. She had been looking at me, and dad was looking at the road ahead, so neither of them knew we were hit. They died on impact. I hadn't even seen the truck." Kagome paused, catching her breath, and wiped a tear off of her cheek. "At the funeral, Inuyasha wouldn't talk at all. I found him on the back porch of her house, crying his eyes out and holding a picture of her. I wrapped my arms around him and he cried even harder into my chest."

Sango held Kagome as she listened to the story. The pain that Inuyasha went through, it broke her heart. If she ever lost Miroku, even though she just met him that past weekend, she'd never love again. "H, how did Inuyasha get over his loss? Or did he?" Sango asked, rubbing her friend's back.

"I don't think he ever got over it." Kagome said, sitting up.

"You don't think who got over what?" Inuyasha stood over the two girls. "Were you crying? Sesshomaru's going to kill me."

Kagome laughed. "I was just remembering." Her face grew serious. "I told Sango about Kikyo."

"What? You had no right!" Inuyasha yelled, getting attention from most of the students that were still at school.

"Shut up, Inu. I have every right. She was my friend, you know. And she died in front of me, so I felt I should inform Sango since she asked."

Sesshomaru sat in his car, honking the horn. When the group got in, he kissed Kagome and grabbed her hair, holding her in place. He moaned when her tongue entered his mouth.

"Get a room." Inuyasha said, sitting back in the backseat.

.xxx.

Chibi Shadow walked down the street. She had long honey-blond hair, which fell down her back in shoft waves to her butt. Her soft blue eyes were taking everything in around her. Looking at the cars passing her, she saw a silver Lamborghini with five people in it. Two of the guys had silver/white hair, while the other guy and both girls had black hair. Then Chibi saw the white-haired guy in the back seat turn to look at her. She smiled and waved, then smiled brighter when he waved back. She saw them talking, and then all of a sudden, the car turned around and then pulled up beside her. The black-haired girl in the passenger's seat was leaning out of the window.

"Hey, my name is Kagome. Inuyasha over there," she pointed at the white-haired guy in the back. "He said that you might like to go to a party with us. Would you like to go?"

Chibi glanced at Inuyasha, noticing his white dog ears, and said, "Sure. Do you think I'd fit in with y'all?" She let go of the illusion around her. Her hair turned almost a titan color (a red-gold) and she had a tail of the same color. Her ears grew more pointed, and her eyes turned a little green. They were all a little surprised and she laughed.

Inuyasha smirked, "Yeah, you'd fit in fine."

Kagome scooted over to the middle, and said, "Come on, get in." Chibi got into the car, sitting in the seat abandoned by Kagome. Kagome introduced the others to her, and asked, "So, why did you hide the fact that you're a kitsune?"

"Well, I wanted people to be more at ease with me." Chibi said, "By the way, my name is Chibi Shadow."

.xxx.

They got to the club, and soon Inuyasha led Chibi to the dance floor. Sango looked at Kagome and said, "Huh. Looks like he could be getting over the death. He looks to be having a great time."

"Yeah, it's a little weird. He was still broken up by it last week. But I think it's been long enough. She seems like a good girl." Kagome smiled. Then she led Sesshomaru to the dance floor with Sango and Miroku following. They all stayed there for hours, and when Sesshomaru went to get drinks, Kagome went to gather the others. She finally found Inuyasha and Chibi in a dark corner, kissing. "Oh boy." She muttered, but they must have heard her, because they broke free and stared at her. "Oops." She turned and scampered away from them.

Sesshomaru got back with the drinks just as Kagome got back. Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru, Sango, and Miroku and said, "Inu's kissing Chibi-sama!" she squealed in excitement.

Sango shrieked, "Really?"

"Yeah," Kagome laughed. "I think he learned a few lessons about love."

Sesshomaru said, "Now all we need is Inuyasha coming over and saying, 'Lesson Learned.'" They all laughed at that.


Well, how did you like this chapter? Was it good? Here are a few things that you might need to know: 1) Chibi is a college student, thats why Kagome said "Chibi-Sama"; 2) It's been a year and a half since Kikyo died, so it's ok for Inu to date again; 3) I'm sorry I killed off Kikyo, but Inu/Kik is too cliche; and 4) Sesshomaru is a little ooc. lol. Well, read and review.
