This is an idea that I got, by listening to 'somewhere out there' from An American tale. It's going to take me a long time to get to the song but I hope that the other part is good.

The sun rose over the horizon as a young girl woke from her slumber. She was nine years old with midnight black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her floral dress pyjamas flowed down to her knees as she got up. She yawned and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She exited her room and checked to see if her family were up. Her grandfather was up, practising chants in their living room, but her mother and brother were sleeping in the other room.

Her grandfather heard his granddaughter's small footsteps behind him. He smiled when he turned around and saw his beautiful granddaughter. "Kagome, your up early" Kagome sat down beside her grandfather. "The sun woke me up" Her grandfather nodded before going back to his chanting. Kagome became curious, "What are you doing grandpa?"

"I am chanting an ancient spell that will protect us from any demons"

Kagome giggled. "But grandpa they never work." Her grandfather harrumphed, "I have a best friend who's part one" Her grandfather's eyebrow moved upward, "Who may I ask Kagome?"

Kagome opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted when the sliding door opened to reveal a silver haired boy in red clothing with two dog-ears. "Inuyasha!"

"Oh hey Kagome. I was just coming to see if you were awake," he said as he shut the sliding door behind him. She smiled.

Inuyasha was her best friend ever. They knew each other since Kagome could remember. He was a year older then she was and too mature for his age, or that's what Kagome thought. His father had died when he was little same with Kagome, but Inuyasha doesn't remember his father. The villagers always casted glances at him, with his dog-ears and him being a hanyou. Kagome thought sometimes that she was his only friend in the village.

"Good morning Mr. Hagurashi" Inuyasha greeted. Kagome's grandfather snorted and began chanting again. Kagome rolled her eyes at her grandfather's rude behaviour toward Inuyasha. "So what are you doing here Inuyasha?"

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to come out and play with me." His eyes looked like they were going to become puppy eyes if Kagome didn't say yes. She giggled, "Of course! Just let me get dressed okay?"

Inuyasha nodded. When Kagome turned around Inuyasha sat beside her grandfather, sneezing occasionally whenever her grandfather 'accidentally' threw powder at him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The forest creaked as the wind blew their branches. Birds chirped in frustration when the branches moved. Kagome twirled around with the wind almost like she was dancing. Inuyasha watched Kagome twirl around. "What are you doing Kagome?"

She didn't stop twirling, "I'm dancing" Inuyasha was confused, "With who?"

Kagome sat down. Her head was spinning and she couldn't see straight, "The wind." Inuyasha snorted at the stupid idea, "That's dumb" Kagome frowned, "Well I'm sorry if I just wanted a little fun" Kagome tried to get up but her legs wouldn't let her. Inuyasha saw her having trouble getting up and let out his hand, "Need help?"

Kagome laughed and took his hand. Unfortunately for Inuyasha the wind started to blow again and Kagome started to twirl, with him stuck to her hand. "Kagome!" he yelled desperately trying to yank his hand out of Kagome's grip.

"C'mon Inuyasha. Please?" she pleaded. Inuyasha couldn't say no to her and that cute face she was making. Inuyasha swallowed his pride and started to dance with Kagome.

When they had spun for a long time they bumped into each other, and fell on the butts. Kagome laughed and let herself lie on the ground, belly up. Inuyasha rubbed his sore head and seeing Kagome laugh he couldn't help but laugh as well.

"I've never heard you laugh Inuyasha," said Kagome happily. That shut him up. "So?"

"You should laugh more often"

"I don't like to"

"You should. I like your laugh"

He blushed and turned his head away. "Keh. Whatever, lets get going. The sun's setting." Kagome sighed and quickly followed after Inuyasha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome ran and laid down on the grass, her eyes looking at the beautiful pink and purple sky. Inuyasha sat down beside her. He stared forward with a hard expression, like he was waiting for something.

"What's wrong?" asked Kagome now looking at him. Inuyasha looked at her then back at the view in front of him. "Nothing"

Not happy with his answer Kagome moved so she was lying on her belly and her head was resting in her palms. She stared at him for a while then smiled, "Oh I think I know what it is!" Inuyasha became tense. How could she know?

"Your afraid of the dark!" she chirped, happy to finally figure out what he was so scared about. "What?!" he growled. Kagome giggled, "If you're scared of the dark you should have told me"

"I'm not afraid of the dark!" he yelled. Kagome was taken aback by Inuyasha's tone. She frowned, "Then what is it? There must be a reason why you're like this!"

Inuyasha looked away and said nothing. "Well?" she asked wanting an answer. "Kagome can you keep a secret?" Kagome blinked then nodded, "Of course!"

Inuyasha looked at the horizon. The sun was gone and darkness came over the village. He could feel his demon blood weakening. His hair began to turn black and his dog-ears disappeared and left two human ones on the side of his head. Lastly his golden amber eyes turned violet.

Kagome was speechless, "Inuyasha?" He glared at her, "Well?"

Kagome blinked, "Well what?"

"Aren't you going to say that I'm a freak and shouldn't be your friend anymore?"

Kagome's eyes softened. "Inuyasha, do you really think I'm that low?" Inuyasha turned his head away. Kagome nudged over closer beside Inuyasha, "I'm your friend," She lay her head down on his shoulder, "and a little transformation won't change that"

Confused violet eyes looked into chocolate brown ones. She was telling the truth! He mentally kicked himself for thinking Kagome would ever abandon him.

"Thanks Kagome" he said almost in a whisper. She opened her mouth to speak but it was replaced with a yawn. "I should be heading home Inuyasha. My parents might be worried about me staying out so late" He nodded and they both walked back to the village.
