Sitting around the fire, watching the stars go by.
InuYasha looked like he was watching the fire, but out of the corner of his eye, he was watching Kagome nodding in time, and mouthing what seemed like an incantation.
Was she doing some sort of spell that he hadn't heard of?
Checking around to see if he could see Miroku or Sango yet, he turned his head to look at her fully, she still wasn't making any sense.
She had these long, white things connected to each ear, and it sounded like there was a strange sort of music coming out of the ends in her ears.
Kagome looked up at him, catching him looking at her.
She pulled one of the white things out, looking at him.
Kagome offered him one.
He took it, staring at it, hearing the odd music coming out quietly.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kagome took the other one out and put it in his ear.
He ignored the uncomfortable feeling, it was obviously designed for human ears.
The music faded into silence, when it was started with a new one.
Loud beats started, which was followed by a very strange instrument.
InuYasha tried to keep up with the words.
Then the singing started, but it was more fierce then proper singing.
InuYasha looked over at Kagome, who mouthed the words; for Naraku.
The song was about rocking, and winning, and what sounded like grinding someone into the dirt.
That sounded about right.
Kagome put the thing that the music cords were connected to down, and pulled out a textbook from her bag.
Soon, it was done, and another started.
These words where a lot easier to understand.
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger There is a video I found from back when I was three
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
For staying back and watching me shine
And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today
It was all very sad, and InuYasha liked to think that it was what Kagome thought.
Maybe it was?
If that is what Kagome listened to all the time, then maybe that is what she thought?
And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you?re getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do Because these things will change, can you feel it now? We'll sing hallelujah! So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered You can walk away and say we don't need this 'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now? We'll sing hallelujah! Tonight we standed on our knees It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
And I'll do anything to see it through
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Heh. InuYasha thought.
That song was just right, but too sweet for destroying someone.
Maybe it's Kagome's version of destroying Naraku?
Before he could think, another song started.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town She wears high heels, I wear sneakers If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Standing by and waiting at your back door Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Standing by and waiting at your back door
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
Really? InuYasha thought.
If this was what kagome thought, then she must like me?
Or am I thinking about it too much?
Hope swelled his heart at the thought.
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car But I've been screamin' and fightin' Breakin' down and comin' undone He respects my space and never makes me wait But I've been screamin' and fightin' Breakin' down and comin' undone He can't see the smile I'm fakin' And you were wild and crazy I'll be screamin' and fightin' Breakin' down and comin' undone
And he says, you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
And kissin' in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing, and I'm comfortable
And kissin' in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And my heart's not breakin'
'Cause I'm not feelin' anything at all
Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now
And kissin' in the rain
It's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And that's the way I loved you
I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
InuYasha watched the flames dance, barely noticing them.
Something moved in the corner of is eye.
Kagome had looked up, startled.
InuYasha had turned to look her in the face.
She picked up the smooth little box that held the music, and read it silently.
She stared at him, going pink.
She looked into his eyes, and he into hers, and a small peice of understanding fell into place.
InuYasha pulled the things out of his ears, without breaking eye contact.
Kagome half-smiled shyly, looking down at the ground underneath her.
She leaned over and picked up the white music player, that he had dropped next to his side.
InuYasha, didn't think, he just acted.
He cupped his had around her chin, and lifted her face to his, where he kissed her.
