Hojo and Kagome stood outside of the shrine, Hojo smiled and he leaned in to Kiss her. But Kagome put her hand up, her eyes filled with tears as she shook her head, “I cant Hojo….I’m sorry….My heart is still hurting….Its to soon.” Hojo Nodded and he smiled “I understand….If you ever need me…Call me” She nodded and she watched as Hojo walked off.
She turned and she walked inside. She went upstairs and she shut the door behind her. Akira held her arms up to her mother and Kagome smiled as she picked the child up. She sat on the bed and her eyes fell on a photo of her and Inuyasha. Kagome picked it up and she held it in front of Akira, She pointed to Inuyasha “That’s your father….Can you say dada?”
Akira looked at the picture, her small hand covered Kagome’s, The child let out a squeal as she tried to say it. Kagome smiled and she sat the picture down. She changed into her pj;s and she Climbed in bed. She held Akira in her arms and she tried to sleep. Inuyasha stood in the shadow’s watching. As soon as he was sure they were asleep he stepped into view. He knelt down and he looked at Akira. He gently ran his fingers over the child’s face and he stood. Annie opened the door and she motioned for Inuyasha to come down stairs.
When Inuyasha entered the living room, Sango flew into his arms, She hugged him tightly. Inuyasha stiffened and then he hugged her back. She pulled away and she looked at him, “what happened Inuyasha?”
He sighed “I tried to come back that night, But the well had sealed itself. I don’t know why. I tried so hard to get back to you guys….How is Kagome doing?”
Annie shook her head, “Not good. We thought she was hanging onto a ghost so we set her up with Hojo. We thought you were gone Inuyasha. Kagome has forced herself to believe that you aren’t coming back.”
“well I’m back and I’m never leaving her again…How can I get her back”
They thought for a moment and then Sango snapped her fingers, “The Club…Kagome sings their twice a night now…You can go up to her after her final song” Inuyasha nodded and he grinned….
The next morning Sango woke Kagome up and they began to get ready for the club. After Kagome left with her bag they brought Inuyasha back into the house. They dressed him in Jeans, A black button up shirt and boots. He put his black bandanna on and he grinned. Sango dressed in tight black pants, a red tube top and heels. Annie and the rest of the family followed as Sango dragged Inuyasha to the club. They came in just as the lights dimmed, Kagome walked on stage and Inuyasha’s eyes filled with tears. It was like seeing her for the first time all over again.
Kagome wore a tight black spaghetti strapped knee length dress, black heels. Her hair was down, it fell down her back in loose ringlets. The music started and she began to sing.,
I was sitting on my doorstep,
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
But I knew I had to do it,
And he wouldn't understand,
So hard to see myself without him,
I felt a piece of my heart break,
But when you're standing at a crossroad,
There's a choice you gotta make.
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.
I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.
Time, time heals,
The wounds that you feel,
Somehow, right now.
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
Starts with goodbye,
The only way you try to find,
Moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
Kagome bowed as the audience clapped and she walked off the stage. Inuyasha turned around and he sighed. “She has been hurting…I could feel it…..” Sango put her hand on his shoulder and he put his head down. Twenty minutes later Kagome came back out, this time she wore a Blue halter knee length gown with black heels. She took the microphone in her hand and she spoke….
“This song means a lot to me. I thought I had the perfect ending. But it seemed I wasn’t going to get the ending I wanted. I have a daughter because of him and I couldn’t live without her. But…..A broken heart never heals…It just gets worse…This song is for him….”
The music began and Kagome sang,
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah
Inuyasha stood and he walked out of the club. He couldn’t….She seemed to not want him back….Or so he thought……He had one more idea up his sleeve…If this didn’t work…..Then he would spend eternity alone.
