Making Rainbows

Kagome felt him stiffen and pulled back some of his long white hair to peek at his face. She smiled gently, remembering a quote her mother would often tell Souta, to get him to let it all out when he tried to bottle it in.

"`The soul can have no rainbows, if the eyes shed no tears,'" Kagome said gently into his ear.

"W-what's that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha said, still struggling to get his feelings under control.

"It means, it's ok to cry."

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

A tiny, delicate little firefly rose from its perch on a slender blade of grass, wet from collecting dew. One little firefly, one small beacon of light in the dark nighttime atmosphere; lazily, there's no hurry, it flew upwards, towards the hovering cloud of other fireflies, joining their dance in the night. They were fireflies; they were tiny earth bound stars that descended from heaven to dance among the trees and flowers. Little pixies that played at your fingertips, just out of reach when you try in vain to capture them, yet willingly alight upon an outstretched digit. They spark a light within your eyes and make you believe in magic. They make you believe in miracles, believe that anything can happen. They made, that night, a lonely hanyou believe too. They made him believe that tomorrow, the sun just might shine on him for once, because his sun wasn't the burning ball of gas that most people wake up to see. Nope, his sun was the girl beside him, comforting him, and offering him light that not even the universally generous sun could give him.

 

The tiny fallen stars rose into the sky, clustering curiously around the pair sharing the forest with them that night. Tentatively, they peered at the two different figures, watching them share a strange new magical world that seemed to materialize around them, as tears watered the ground next to the giant tree in the heart of the forest, the God Tree.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

***I'll always remember

 

It was late afternoon

 

It lasted forever

 

And ended so soon (yeah)

 

You were all by yourself

 

Staring up at a dark gray sky

 

I was changed***

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

A gently breeze interlaced itself in silver hair, lifting it ever so slightly before dying down, only to rise again. Snowy white ears wriggled around a little and they focused on the song playing on the radio in the messy room. Inuyasha stood at the edge of his balcony, staring out at the God Tree in the forest, replaying over and over, the events of last night in his mind. Feeling and savoring each emotion he felt as he remembered the magical scenes that were played out there, among the fireflies.

 

"She sang that song to me… over there…" he murmured softly to himself, lost in a swirling puddle of confused thoughts.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

***In places no one will find

 

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

 

Was then that I realized

 

That forever was in your eyes

 

The moment I saw you cry

 

The moment that I saw you cry***

 

**Flash Back**

 

He shuddered, his entire body gave a tremendous shake. Kagome leaned closer to him, concern etched into her face and eyes. Inuyasha inhaled sharply though his teeth. His habitual reaction to this feeling was to snuff it down. It was engraved into him since the day his brother caught him crying, when he was four years old… at the God Tree.

 

**Flash Back Within a Flash Back** [A/N: weird, I know]

 

Sniffling could be heard, echoing softly through the peaceful forest. It was always so calm here, so quiet. The presence around the God Tree soothed the weeping boy and he cried softly at its base. He'd been crying for an entire half and hour, and was tired. But his tears still weren't spent. She'd been ghastly pale, and her coughing racked her entire body. He was terrified, utterly terrified of losing her. He was so afraid of losing the only person he ever cared for and afraid of being alone in the world. Never before had he felt so small.

 

A twig snapped in two behind him. Sniffling softly, the four year old Inuyasha turned around to see who was coming. Silver hair. Hard gold eyes. Disgust. He was back again, Sesshomaru. Back to torment him and call him a weakling. Inuyasha stared dully at his older brother's right hand, watching it glow green. Inuyasha watched and waited. Then, the silence of the forest was shattered in one long agonizing howl that sent birds bursting from the surrounding trees. Over and over, the sounds of a whip cracking, always followed by a muffled scream. Before long, blood was pooling by the roots of the God Tree, where, moments ago, the hanyou had been shedding his tears.

 

"They reek of your weakness. Stop crying you ingrate. You've already muddied our father's blood line, and now you dampen his image further with you foolish emotions for that wench of a mother?"

 

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, "Don't you know? A demon can smell those tears from miles away. Don't you realize? You're less than a weak human, you're a sitting duck. You might as well be ground into the dirt like those foolish tears. That's where you belong."

 

Sesshomaru, having spent his anger and unable to stand the stifling scent of his brother's halfling blood any longer, turned and stalked away.

 

**End Flash back within Flash Back**

 

Inuyasha shook his head; he didn't want to think about that now. He felt Kagome bring her arms around his shoulders and rest her cheek against his. Her arms encircled his neck loosely and she whispered a soothing melody into his furry ear.

 

**End Flash Back**

 

***It was late in September

 

And I've seen you before (and you were)

 

You were always the cold one

 

But I was never that sure

 

You were all by yourself

 

Staring up at a dark gray sky

 

I was changed***

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome raised the volume on her radio, and then turned back to her pillow, resting her chin on the soft cottony covers. She looked out her open window at the very same spot her golden eyed friend was staring at the very same moment. Over and over again, she thought about the previous night's actions. She quietly traced patterns on the blankets as she gazed out the billowing white curtains. Snowy white curtains that waved much the same way as the silver haired hanyou's white locks were moving that same instant. Softly, she sang along with the radio next to her bed.

 

"In places no one will find…"

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

***In places no one will find

 

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

 

Was now that I realized

 

That forever was in your eyes

 

The moment I saw you cry***

 

**Flash Back**

 

The raven haired girl snuggled closer to the shaking hanyou. A single tear seeped its way out of the corner of his eye. Kagome leaned up and kissed it away, the way her mother used to. More tears followed the first one. Inuyasha cringed, as if waiting for the whole world to come down on him. Waiting for it to smother him and crush him into oblivion. He closed his eyes, only to see flashes of green lines in his eye lids. He remembered to terror he felt whenever his brother approached him, the cruel intent always churning in his eyes. Soft hands tenderly brushed his hair from his streaming face. A voice sang into his ear, breaking him away from his fearful memories.

 

"I wanted to hold you, I wanted to make it go away…"

 

***I wanted to hold you

 

I wanted to make it go away

 

I wanted to know you

 

I wanted to make your everything, all right....***

 

The hanyou snuggled closer into her warm embrace. The gentle miko held him tighter. She knew his pain. She knew how it felt to be an outcast. Kagome closed her eyes, feeling her memories awaken at the edges of her mind, it was the way the ocean feels when little mini waves rose to lap at your feet.

 

**Flash back with in a flash back** [A/N: don't laugh, it's the only thing I could think of]

 

"Stay away from her, she's a miko…"

 

~~~

 

"Don't talk to her, do you really want to hang out with someone who can burn you into a crisp?"

 

~~~

 

"Just look at her, strutting around like she's so high and mighty…"

 

~~~

 

"Hi! My name is Kagome!"

 

Her hand stung after the other girl swatted it away.

 

"Go away!" the girl cried, "Freak," she muttered under her breath.

 

~~~

The little miko silently walked into class, standing as tall and as strong as she could. Even though her entry was soundless, her presence was louder that anything. All chatter ceased, then everyone started whispering.

 

"It's Higurashi."

 

"Yeah, sheesh, just look at the way she walks. It's like she thinks she's the queen of the whole universe!"

 

"Think she's not bad, I mean, it's not like she picks on anyone and uses her miko power on anybody."

 

"Not yet at least, just watch, I'll bet she'll want to try any new tricks she learns."

 

"Maybe, oh look, here she comes."

 

"H-hi guys," Kagome smiled as cheerfully as she could, "Watcha talking about?"

 

"Oh you know, stuff." The baseball capped boy said casually.

 

"Uh, what kind of stuff?" Kagome asked eagerly, "Can I talk about it with you?"

 

"What?" a girl with a pink ribbon in her hair said, "Why would you want to? Don't you have to concentrate on being a powerful miko and stuff?"

 

"Oh, that's only when I'm in miko class," Kagome said, trying to jump to a different topic, was it just her, or did they look like hungry vultures, waiting for her to make one mistake, Kagome gulped. "U-um, I like your bow," Kagome said, becoming more nervous by the second, "It's very pretty."

 

"Uh, what ever," the girl said, then turned around and walked away with her friends. Kagome could make out one word above the chatter, "Freak."

 

~~~

 

Kagome walked alone down the hall, carrying her bow and quiver with her. Her lessons were right after school. She wished she could have more time so she could go to that fundraiser party after school…

 

"Gods! Why would she bring her bow and arrows here? Isn't there a rule about weapons at school?"

 

"Yeah, I know. I think she's trying to show off or something."

 

"Shh! She's coming this way."

 

The young miko had grown used to the routine. They didn't want to talk to her, so she just left them alone. That's what they want, isn't it?

 

"Excuse me," Kagome said softly.

 

Everyone moved aside, as if it were dangerous to get to close. Like she would fry them if they tried to talk to her. The young eight year old girl walked down the hall; alone and hurting, not sure why her heart always felt so heavy.

 

~~~

 

"Class, our next presenter is Kagome Higurashi. She researched demons and their ways. Now everyone, please give her a round of applause."

 

The class snickered. Feet shot out from under desks in hopes of tripping her. The eight year old miko gracefully and proudly walked to the front of the room.

 

"My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I made my presentation about demons. Demons are related to humans from way back, nearly thousands of years ago…"

 

~~~

 

"Demons and humans split about 980 years ago, when they acquired their super human strength, from there on, they evolved to fit their environment while humans changed the environment to fit them. But we still share the same hearts and the same feelings. A demon can experience pain just like humans. They can feel happiness, sadness, depression and anger just like you or me…"

 

~~~

 

A silent little girl passed a clique of girls in the lunch room. She tried to be as straight and as tall as she could. They were talking about something, about the research projects everyone presented that day.

 

"And did you hear Higurashi's?"

 

"Yeah, what a dork? Like humans and demons could ever be related."

 

"Oh I know! And what was that junk about demons knowing how it feels to love and care for each other? As if! What sort of a joke is that?"

 

"No kidding, I mean, she's supposed to kill demons, and she's telling us to be nicer to them? What a laugh!"

 

~~~

 

That night, she went home and cried. That night, she went out in her pajamas and shot arrow after arrow into the target. Arrow after arrow landed snugly into the bull's eye. Arrow after arrow, tear after tear, she vented until she had no more strength to even pick herself up from the floor of the little archery practice shed and walk home. That was the first night she and her mother snuggled together in her little pink room. The first night they talked about demons and humans and why they feel and think the way they do. After that, mother and daughter spent countless more nights in Kagome's room, surrounded by her little handmade charms and stuffed animals, leaving a lonely father in the master bedroom, wondering why on earth his wife and his daughter locked the him out of her room so often.

 

**End flash back with in flash back**

 

"It hurts a lot doesn't?" Kagome whispered wetly into Inuyasha's ear, she let tears flow freely down her cheeks, "It hurts a lot to be left alone and surrounded by cold shoulders."

 

Inuyasha looked into her tearful blue gray eyes, realizing something. She shared with him something no one else could ever relate to, as far as he knew. When he looked into his mother's eyes, he saw love, sympathy and sadness at his life. In Kagome's eyes, he fell into a pond of empathy, of understanding. She knew what it felt like to be him. She understood him, something not even his loving mother could give him. Gently, he brushed away a tear from her wet cheeks, then brought her into another firm embrace, relishing the feelings that were flowing through his veins. The fullness of his heart.

 

~~~

 

"Demons, like all other creatures, can feel love. They can care for another, the same way humans can. And I firmly believe that maybe one day, everyone can see that, and then the demand for mikos like me will one day disappear. I really do believe…"

 

~~~

 

***I'll always remember...

 

It was late afternoon...

 

In places no one will find...***

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Their tears were all spent, their energy drained. Inuyasha looked down smiling at the peaceful girl in his arms. She had been shivering, and he offered her his jacket. Together, they star gazed. They weren't tilting their eyes up at the heavens though. They were following the lazy hovering of the fireflies, and listening to the crickets fill the night with song.

 

Their cheeks were still damp and added to the glow the fireflies made around them. Their faces seemed to shine and the light from the fireflies shone in the eyes too. It was a look that hadn't graced Inuyasha's feature in a long, long time.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

***In places no one will find

 

All your feelings so deep inside

 

(forever was in your eyes)

 

It was now that I realized

 

That forever was in your eyes

 

The moment I saw you cry***

 

"You know," Kagome said softly, "My mom told me to think of fireflies as stars that are watching over me and lighting my way at night."

 

"Does your mom always say cheesy things like that?" Inuyasha asked playfully. Kagome laughed happily, Inuyasha grinned, he like the sound of her laugh. Everything about her was always so sunny, even right after crying.

 

Kagome continued, "Once, I asked her why people are so amazed at the stars. I told her that I knew they were pretty and all, but I thought it was weird for there to be a saying about reaching for the stars and stuff. I thought it was impossible."

 

"Well duh it's impossible," Inuyasha said cockily, shifting a little so he could bring his hand out to count off all the reasons, "One, they're way to far away. Two, they're burning balls of gas, who'd want to reach for that? Three, they're BURNING hot! Four…"

 

"I know! I know!" Kagome said laughing, grabbing his large hands and setting them down. She rested her head backwards, onto his shoulder, gazing happily at the glowing pixies filling the forest. "And my mom told me that some people believed that they were magical. But she didn't think, even if they were magic, that wishing on a star or anything like that would account for anything. She told me that she believe that fireflies are magical and can grant wishes. She said that first, I should make a wish, then, I should try as hard as I could to make my own wish come true. And then she said that when the firefly thinks you're working hard enough, and if that firefly had enough magic, it would grant my wish."

 

"That's crazy talk," Inuyasha muttered.

 

"I know," Kagome giggled, "But, it makes sense to me. You should work to get what you want. But never stop believing in magic and things like that. That's how I got myself to stand back up after Kikyou stopped being my friend. I made a wish to never be lonely again, and then I tried my best to make friends. Before I knew it, I did make friends. I'm happy I followed my mom's advice."

 

"You're so damn lucky," Inuyasha said softly, "You had so many chances, and you weren't afraid to take them."

 

"Oh, I was afraid," Kagome said, "But it didn't matter. I didn't have anything to lose, so I just kept going. And somehow finally found that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow"

 

Inuyasha thought for a moment, dismissing the weird stuff about pots of gold and ends of rainbows and focused on more important things. Like why hadn't he done something like she did? There were demons in public schools. Of course, they did have to hide themselves, generally. Why didn't he ever ask to go to public school? Inuyasha mentally sighed, it's because I was too scared. [o.O he admits it!]

 

"It's not too late you know," Kagome said, as if reading his mind. She held a hand out to a firefly, and it landed lightly on her outstretched digit. She brought it closer, close enough to its light to illuminate her pretty face. Inuyasha felt a blush slowly creep onto his still damp cheeks, warming his insides.

 

"Make a wish," she whispered softly, like she was enchanted by the tiny glowing star. Inuyasha looked at her for a long time, memorizing her sweet innocent expression.

 

"Um, ok," Inuyasha said, then thought quietly to himself. There was only one thing he could think of, so that's what he wished.

 

"Ok," he said softly into her ear, sending shivers up her spine, "I made it."

 

~~~

 

"My teacher, Keade, told me that anything and everything that is living can feel compassion and love. Sometimes, it comes naturally, sometimes, it needs to be taught. She said that all it takes for a living being to care for and love another creature, is to be shown love and caring by someone first…"

 

~~~

 

**End long flash back**

 

***Baby cry

 

The moment that I saw you cry

 

I think I saw you cry

 

The moment I saw you cry***

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

"Ya wanna know what I think that saying means?" Kagome asked playfully. She leaned against the cushions and played with her hair, looking out the window at the raining day. The two had made a habit of eating breakfast together in the music room. Some days, Kagome would make breakfast, and even more rarely, Inuyasha would rack up the nerve to help out.

 

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, finishing his breakfast. This morning, it was ramen. (You can tell Inuyasha helped out this time ^.~).

 

"Do you want to know what I think that saying means?" Kagome repeated, "The `the soul can have no rainbows if the eyes shed no tears.'"

 

"Uh, sure, what ever," Inuyasha said in his usual manner.

 

"I think it means that," Kagome said, pointing out the window.

 

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, completely lost this time.

 

"I mean, the rain," Kagome said.

 

"You're still not making any sense, woman!" Inuyasha said, starting to get annoyed.

 

Kagome sighed, "Is it possible to have rainbows in the sky, if it never rained?"

 

"Er… keh," Inuyasha mentally reviewed the dictionary in his head [A/N: lol, just kidding]

 

The young miko giggled, "When you're sad, angry, what ever, and you bottle it in, it's kind of like building up clouds, you know, the way it is before a storm. And when that happens, it completely blots out the sun and the sky. Doesn't make a pretty world to live in does it?"

 

Inuyasha nodded to himself. Kagome saw and smiled, and turned again to watch the rain pattering against the window pane.

 

"So after it rains itself out," Kagome continued, talking more to herself, "then, not only can you see the sun again, but you might be lucky enough to see a rainbow. And the sun looks to much brighter after all the clouds go away, don't you think?"

 

"And this relates to…?" Inuyasha asked, a little lost about the topic of the conversation and very unused to the philosophical talk spewing from this strange girl. [A/N: sorry if I'm confusing you ^.^;;; but this is the stuff I talk about with my mom lots of times… soooo…. Yeah….]

 

"That's why it's ok to cry," Kagome said softly, "That's why you need to cry. To clear the storm clouds away. That's how you make rainbows."

 

Inuyasha gazed at her thoughtfully. No matter how far fetched her weird metaphors constantly seem to be, they always make sense at the end, and they always seem to comfort him. And somehow, in the middle of the sleepless night this past week, he'd always find her voice echoing in his mind, then find himself thinking of her silly analogies, before drifting off into sleep.

 

Kagome blinked, seeming to snap back to reality. She smiled a lopsided grin and stood up. "Let's go give Mimi a walk!" Kagome suggested eagerly.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

***I wanted to know you

 

I wanted to know you

 

I wanted to know you…***

 

[A/N: This is the end of the song, I just wanted to include it, even though it's kinda outa place. -_-]

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

The light summer shower had subsided, and the sun was out again. Rain drops tumbled down from heavy, water soaked branches. Grass was littered with water droplets that sparkled in the sun, diamonds, Kagome thought. Mimi dashed around in the puddles, eventually drenching herself and her two legged friends. Kagome smiled and glanced up at a water logged branch above her head, hmm, she thought.

 

"AGH!" Inuyasha yelped, startled as a sudden shower of water drops spattered onto his head. What the hell? There wasn't a cloud in the sky! The dog demon turned to see A laughing miko, clinging onto the bas of a thin tree branch, her laughter was shaking the bough and sending a light spray of dew down from it.

 

"So that's how you wanna play, huh?" Inuyasha asked, smirking.

 

"Uh-oh," Kagome said, and started to back away when Inuyasha disappeared up into the branches of another tree. Kagome wondered around for a little bit, keeping a trained eye upward, ready to duck. Suddenly, Mimi jumped out of no where, distracting the miko for a second. That was all the time Inuyasha needed.

 

"Muahahaha!" Inuyasha laughed victoriously as he jumped up and down like a crazy person on tree boughs, absolutely drenching both dog and miko below.

 

"SIT!" Kagome hollered, bringing Inuyasha down with the falling water drops.

 

"Oy, wench. What did you do that for?!" Inuyasha asked grumpily, he was having fun! And now he was eating dirt.

 

"Well, you just got carried away, and I didn't know what else to do to stop you," Kagome said, then added, "And will you please stop calling me that? Come to think of it, have you ever used my real name thus far?"

 

"Um," Inuyasha thought for a moment, "Nope."

 

"Well, you can try now," Kagome said, reminding Inuyasha of a previous conversation between him and the miko before…

 

**Flash Back**

 

"Oy! Wench, take this stupid necklace off!" An angry hanyou whined, ripping at the beads in vain.

 

"SIT!"

 

"What the hell was the for?!" Inuyasha yelled from his position on the floor.

 

"I have a name so use it!" Kagome yelled back angrily, her hand on her hips. Actually, she was pretty proud of herself. She was surprised that the beads had even worked.

 

"Aw! But what if I like wench better?" Inuyasha whined, sounding very much like the brat he hates.

 

"ARGH! SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled again, getting very fed up.

 

"Damn it! What the hell was that for, girl?!" Inuyasha hollered when he found himself once again kissing the floor, "And what the hell is this anyway?"

 

"It's a rosary with a spell on it," Kagome said calmly, "When I say s- I mean the `s' word, you'll find yourself making out with the floor. Very simple really, I'm not advanced enough with subduing spells to come up with anything fancier. Any questions?"

 

"Yeah, or a request rather," Inuyasha said grumpily.

 

"And that would be…" Kagome asked, leaning down a little.

 

"GET THIS FRIGGIN' THING OFFA ME GODS DAMN IT!"

 

Kagome cringed at the volume in his voice. "Uh… actually, I don't know how to take it of… hehe."

 

"WHAT!!!"

 

**End Flash Back**

 

Inuyasha chuckled a little at the memory, and Kagome raised an eyebrow.

 

"What's so funny?" she asked.

 

"Huh? Oh, nothing." Inuyasha said dismissively.

 

"Uh, ok," Kagome said, "So, are you gonna say it?"

 

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, completely lost again, "What the heck are you talking about?"

 

"Argh! You know what I'm talking about; now say it or I'll say it!"

 

Now what got her so fired up? Inuyasha wandered, trying to remember the topic of the conversation before she got really mad. "Keh, fine," he said, indifferently.

 

"Fine! Maybe I will!" Kagome cleared her throat, "SIT!!!"

 

"Damn…"

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Mimi romped happily though the forest, investigating an interesting scent here and there, and listening curiously to the bickering of her two companions behind her. She closed in on a squirrel trail and pounced. She'd missed. The critter scampered up a tree, darn it. She needed to work on her pouncing skill a bit more. Oh well, may as well start on that rabbit trail she'd caught a whiff of. Something went "thud" behind her and she turned around to see what was happening.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome stared in horrified shock at Inuyasha who stared right back with a similar expression, although couldn't quite register why Kagome was looking at him as if her were a ghost or something like that.. Kagome turned her astonished gaze to her hands. Inuyasha was examining his position on the ground.

 

"Inuyasha! Look what you made me do!" Kagome cried in anguish.

 

"Uh, I'm looking?" Inuyasha said, not quite sure what to do with the wailing girl in front of him.

 

"I can't believe this! When you got me so riled up…" Kagome sat down with a thump next to Inuyasha, who still couldn't figure out why the heck she was so upset.

 

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe I pushed you! I can't believe you really fell over! Oh no!" Kagome looked at him horrified. She wildly glanced around like she'd been caught doing something illegal.

 

"Uh… What?" Inuyasha asked, unnerved.

 

"What's my mom gonna say?" Kagome wailed in distress, looking desperately around, "The last time I pushed someone, she gave me this long lecture about how bad it was to implement physical violence!" Kagome looked ready to tear at her hair. Inuyasha continued to look at her with a very lost expression on his face. What the heck was she talking about?

 

"Oh my gosh!" Kagome cried again, "I can't believe this! What a, I gonna do?!"

 

Inuyasha simply face faulted and was once again kissing the ground. Was pushing someone down for being called a wench really that bad? Inuyasha wasn't sure whether sweat drop or what. Suddenly, he heard her let out a loud shocked gasp.

 

"What, what, what?" Inuyasha asked, jumping up and looking around.

 

"Oh look, Inuyasha!" Kagome said breathlessly, "Just look at that rainbow!"

 

First, the utterly bewildered hanyou stared, completely confused, at the apparently loony girl next to him. What? Inuyasha thought, I can't believe this crazy girl…

 

"No! Don't look at me, baka! Look at that rainbow, it's beautiful! I think it's the biggest one I've ever seen!" Kagome gasped. She was completely enamored with the illusion in the sky. Her every feature was in an expression of awe at the beauty of the array of colors against the blue backdrop. Inuyasha continued to look at her for a few more moments before turning his attention to the light show that always occurs after the rain.

 

~~~

 

"The soul can have no rainbows if the eyes shed no tears"

 

~~~

 

Smiling and shaking his head, Inuyasha gazed up at the colorful spectrum. Magic, he thought. It was pure magic, to be here, with her, staring up and a rainbow, being completely at peace, and truly happy, without shadow of a doubt, for the first time in his life.

 

~~~

"Everyone needs love and friendship, no one can get by with out it. We all need someone to cry to, someone to lean on, someone to laugh with. We all need someone to just sit back and count stars with and search for rainbows with. We all do…"

 

~~~

 

"We all do…" Kagome whispered to herself. Inuyasha, relaxed with his back against the wet grass.

 

"Yep," he said, although he wasn't quite sure what she meant. It didn't matter. What matter was the two of them, spending time together under the sun. Happy, watching the rainbow.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

So, how'd you think? Good? Bad? Ok? Reveiws please!!! Oh, and I'll type review responses in the next Chappie, since I'm updating two at the same time ^.^

 

On another note, the next chappie is gonna be like a brief interlude from the plot. I'm gonna do stuff like that from time to time, it sorta helps time go by without just saying so and so weeks later, and stuff like that. Also, you'll know when it's that cuz the whole Chappie is gonna be about some other couple other than Inuyasha and kagome. Like the next Chappie is gonna be almost completely about Sesshomaru and how he meets rin. I think I'm also gonna write another one about how fluffy got his nickname, ^.^ but maybe I'll save that idea for a one-shot. Anyway, I just wanted to point it out.

 

Oh boy, I know chunks of this story is definitely not gonna make sense, just tell me what didn't in a review and I'll try to catch time to fix it and re update it.

 

Ok, next Chappie.
