Should've Said No by Taylor Swift
Kagome's thoughts about what Inuyasha's been doing behind her back with Kikyo.
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
All the time, we would sing to pass the time on our journeys, but he just had to ruin it.
The smiles, the flowers, everything, is gone
The little smiles he would give me, the very rare occurrence of flowers finding their way into my big yellow bag. That's all gone now. All because of him, and her.
Yesterday I found out about you
Sango came running to me last night, she told me all about what Inuyasha was doing. How she found Inuyasha in the forest, kissing Kikyo. At first I didn't believe her. I refused to believe her. Didn't Inuyasha love me? Sango dragged me out into the forest and showed me. Well, things had progressed from the kiss.
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
When Inuyasha walked into our campsite, I had to ignore him, I couldn't even look at him without cringing with memory of what he did. I finally decided to confront him, with a dark conclusion in my eyes.
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
Now we were in a heated argument.
"Kagome! You know I would never do it again! If Kikyo did that again I would say 'no'!" Inuyasha yelled at me from across the clearing. Sango had ushered everyone out earlier when she saw me heading towards the traitor.
It was a moment of weakness and you said, 'Yes'
"I was weak, I admit! She caught me at a bad time and I said okay!" Inuyasha continued.
You should've said no,
"You should have said no in the first place!" I screamed. Inuyasha ears flattened against his head and his eyes widened.
You should've gone home,
"You should've come right back to the campsite!" Inuyasha shied away as I took a step closer.
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go,
"Did it even enter you mind that what you were doing is wrong?" I continued my rant, pacing back and forth in front of him.
You should've known that word, that what you did with her, get back to me,
"How long were you going to keep this little affair from me, huh!"
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind,
"You should've thought of what this would do to the group! What it would do to me!" I cried as I took several steps closer, now I was about five feet away.
I shouldn't be asking myself why,
"Why didn't you think of that!" I continued. Now Inuyasha was scrambling away from my rage.
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
I paused to let him try to speak. "I'm sorry Kagome! I should've said no!" He cried, trying to get me to forgive him. 'Not that easy, Inuyasha.' I thought.
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
"Yes. You should've said no." Was all I said before I walked off to continue this later. I needed a hot bath.
You can see that I've been crying.
He walked in from another night with that clay pot. I tried to hide my tears from my heartbreak, but he knew.
And, baby, you know all the right things to say,
Inuyasha walked over to me and whispered, "That was last time with her. From now on, it's only you, Kagome. We can go back to the way we were."
But do you honestly except me to believe,
For a moment, I almost let myself hope that what he said was true.
"Do you really expect me to believe that?" I asked him, standing up.
We could ever be the same
"Do you really think that we could ever be the same after what you did, what you're still doing?" I said, raising my voice with every word.
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
Inuyasha quickly stood up, "That was then. This is now; the past is the past Kagome. Can you give me one more chance?" He asked, trying to reason with me, trying to win me back.
It was a moment of weakness and you said, 'Yes'
"I said yes that time, I was weak Kagome." Inuyasha continued, daring to put his hands on my shoulders.
You should've said no,
Disgusted, I shoved him away, and then I got right up in his face, "Why didn't you say no?" I screamed at him.
You should've gone home,
"Why didn't you come right back!" I yelled as I stabbed him in the chest with my finger.
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
"Why didn't you think twice!" I cried, holding two fingers up.
You should've known that word, 'bout what you did with her, get back to me,
"Why didn't you think of what would happen when I found out!" I continued, glaring straight into his scared eyes.
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
"Why didn't you think of me?" I put a hand on my heart to emphasize my point.
I shouldn't be asking myself why
If you did any of those things, we wouldn't be her right now!" I screamed in his face.
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
"Why are even begging for my forgivness?" I said, pushing him onto the ground.
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
"Why didn't you say no? Because if you did, you might still have me." I stated. Rubbing in the fact that there's no chance in getting me back.
I can't resist, before you go, tell me this
"I can't resist asking. So before you leave, tell me..."
Was it worth it, was she worth this?
"Was that dead claypot worth it? Was Kikyo worth all of this arguing, worth losing me?" I questioned, waiting for the answer.
No, no, no, no, no, no
Inuyasha was on the ground, digging his claws into the ground, and said what he should've said in the first place.
"No." He mumbled with such self hatred that I almost felt sorry for him. Almost.
"No, no, no ,no." He kept saying, as if in denial.
Then he looked up at me, "NO! It wasn't worth it! Kikyo wasn't worth it!" He finally admitted.
You should've said no,
I smiled at him, a dark, devious smile. Then I said what I had said to him so many times, knowing that this time it won't fall on deaf ears. "You should've said no."
You should've gone home
With an almost deadly tone, I continued with the rest of my accusations, "You should've gone home."
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
"You should've thought twice before you let it all go."
You should've known that word, 'bout what you did with her would get back to me,
"You should've known that word, of what you did with her would get back to me."
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
"I should've been there, in the back of your mind."
I shouldn't be asking myself why
"I shouldn't be asking myself why."
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
"You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at me feet."
You should've said no,
"You should've said no."
Baby, and you might still have me.
For the last part, I leaned in close to one of his ears and whispered, "And you might still have me."
I turned away, picked up my bag, and never spared Inuyasha a backwards glance as I headed towards the well.
