Kagome's Thoughts

By: IsisTheEgyptianGoddess

Song: Jolene By: Mindy Smith

Inuyasha was sitting with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara in Keade's hut waiting for Kagome to come back.

"Stupid girl!" Inuyasha snapped, "She was supposed to be back two hours ago! Those test things aren't as important as Shards anyway!"

"Well, Inuyasha, if you're so concerned, go get her." Miroku said calmly sipping a cup of tea.

"Monk! Don't order me around!" Inuyasha turned around and walked out the door, "I'm taking a walk!" he yelled back.

"He's going to the well huh?" Shippo said

"Yep." Sango giggled

*In the Forest*

Inuyasha was getting more and more pissed as he ran.

`Damn girl! She just doesn't get it does she? The shards are priority number one! If Naraku gets more, he'll be tougher to beat!' His thoughts went on like this as he got to the clearing, as he jumped into the well, and jumped out with the purpose of dragging Kagome back by the hair if he had to.

*In Kagome's Time*

He jumped onto Kagome's window sill and glared at her. She was sitting at her desk bent over one of her school books, and was playing music so loud, that she couldn't hear him practically banging on the window for her to open it. Inuyasha ran down to the front door, it was locked. He could have gotten in no problem, but he figured Kagome wouldn't appreciate it if he ripped down her door.

"Grrr! Fine!" Inuyasha jumped back to her window, and settled down to wait, she'd notice him soon.

Kagome was sitting at her desk working on her math homework. Mom, Grandpa, and Souta had all gone out leaving her to work. She was playing a CD one of her friends had lent her, a mix of some new songs. Kagome leaned back in her chair and stretched.

Suddenly song came up. It had a haunting melody, and all Kagome could do was listen.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

The song ended, and by this time Kagome had closed her eyes as the music washed around her. It was the last song on the CD. Her eyes popped open, and she quickly crossed the room and replayed the song, twice. The song seemed to echo Kagome's own thoughts about a certain miko. Kagome played the song again and sat on her bed, this time she added her own words. She didn't care if they flowed just right, she just needed to get her feelings out.

"Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With dark locks of ebony hair
With ivory skin and eyes of chocolate brown

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Kikyou

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Kikyou"

A single tear fell from Kagome's eye and ran down her cheek to fall on her bed.

"And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Kikyou

Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Kikyou"

Tears fell freely from Kagome's eyes but she kept on singing, and somehow kept the sobs out of her voice.

"I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Kikyou

Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou
Please don't take him even though you can
Kikyou, Kikyou."

The song finished, and Kagome's head dropped and her hair covered her face like a dark curtain. Then she sat up and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.

"I'm so silly." She said out loud with a shaky smile. "Crying like that over a dumb song just because it reminds me of my life." She sighed, "Kikyou has made her choice, she has decided to take him just because she can. Oh, Inuyasha," a sob broke its way out of her throat, "I know you too have made your choice. And I respect it, I won't interfere. But, what will I do when you're gone?" Another small sob broke free with another shaky smile, "I already know what I'll do. I'll be missing you. Forever and for always you'll be in my heart."

Inuyasha had been listening speechless to this performance.

"Kagome." He whispered and unknowingly his head had moved forward, and his forehead hit the window.

Kagome sat up straight like she'd been shot. Her head snapped around just in time to see the unfortunate hanyou topple off the ledge and onto the ground below. She gasped and ran to the window and threw it open.

"Inuyasha!"

"What!?" came the yell from below. Then in a second he had jumped back to the ledge and was an inch away from her face. Kagome's face turned beet red,

"H-h-how long were you there?"

"Long enough."

Kagome's face turned redder if that was possible and she turned away and crossed the room to the CD player. She occupied herself with searching for the CD's case.

"What was that song?" he leapt into her room and sat on the bed.

"Huh? What?"

"What was that song Kagome?"

"It's called Jolene by Mindy Smith. Do you like it?"

"Don't know. I need to hear it again."

Kagome paused, but then pressed play once again and the song started.

"Would you sing it for me?" he asked blushing a little

Kagome went and sat in front of him and started,

"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green"

Inuyasha stopped her,

"No," he shook his head, "sing it your way."

Kagome blushed again and shook her head.

"Why not?"

Kagome muttered something that made Inuyasha's ears twitch,

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"You weren't supposed to hear that."

"Why not?"

"I promised myself I wouldn't get in your way of being happy with your true love."

Kagome got up and went to her window, Inuyasha stared after her.

"What makes you think you'd get in the way of me being happy with my true love?"

"As Kikyou points out, I'm nothing but a cheap imitation. I'll just make you get confused."

"And as you've pointed out, you are Kagome not Kikyou. You are two different people. Besides don't you think I have the right to decide who I spend all of eternity with? It's my choice."

"Which you've already made."

Inuyasha walked up behind her circled his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her head. He kissed the top of her head.

"Yes I have."

He smelt the salt of her tears again, so he hurried to continue

"My choice is Kagome."

She stiffened

"What?"

He repeated himself, "My choice is Kagome."

She turned to him and peered up into his amber eyes. It was so easy then for Inuyasha to close the mere inches between them and cover her lips with his. When they parted, Kagome stared up at his face,

"Is this a dream?" she whispered

He shook his head, "No it's very real." He kissed her lightly, "Now, will you sing for me?"

Kagome smiled and went over to the CD player.
