The Song Dedicated to the One Lost
------------------------------------------------
An Hour Later…
Kagome had changed into a dark blue dress, to morn InuYasha’s death.
(A/N: She had nothing black so she went with the closest color.)
“Kagome!”, her mother calls from downstairs.
“Yeah mom!”, Kagome calls back.
“Your friends are here!”
“Coming!”, she says, heading downstairs.
“Happy Birthday, Kagome!”, Eri, Yuka, Ayumi shouts as soon as she is downstairs.
Kagome tries to look amused, ‘They do this every year’, she thinks.
“We’re taking you to sing karaoke this year”, Yuka cheers.
“It’s going to be fun!”, Eri adds.
“Lets go”, Kagome says, leading her friends out the door, “See you later mom!”, she calls.
“Have fun, dear!”
--------------------------------
At the Karaoke Bar…
“Come on Kagome, cheer up!”, Eri says.
“Yeah, you haven’t smiled since we got here, you didn’t even giggle when that drunk guy stumbled off the stage”, Yuka pipes up.
“It wasn’t that funny”, Kagome comments.
“Hey Kagome?”, Ayumi asks.
“What is it Ayumi?”, Kagome replies.
“Why don’t you go up and sing a song, I’ll pay for it”, she says, smiling.
“Only if I can choose the song”, Kagome suggests, cracking a smile.
“Sure”, Ayumi agrees.
As Kagome walks up onto the stage, spirit InuYasha appears in the corner of the room.
(You have until mid-night, then I have to bring you to where you have to go), the woman’s voice says.
Spirit InuYasha downcasts his eyes, (Okay), he whispers.
“I want to dedicate this song to someone very close to me, who I won’t see again”, Kagome says into the mike, she turns her head from the mike and whispers, “InuYasha, where ever you are, this is for you”, she turns back towards the mike.
Spirit InuYasha lifts his head up and looks at her, being the only one to hear what she whispered, (Kagome…), he whispers.
(A/N: I don’t own the song ‘Fallen’ or ‘Sarah McLachlan’.)
The music of the song began and Kagome started singing.
“Heaven Bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I’ve tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I’ve messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believe that we could change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I’ve messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I've lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be redeemed
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I’ve messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
(Oh no…)
I’ve messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so”.
Kagome walks off the stage with tears brimming her eyes.
“Kagome that was great!”, Ayumi exclaims.
“Thanks Ayumi”, she thanks.
“Kagome, you were great”, Hojo says, walking towards her.
“Thanks”, Kagome moans, glancing over at Eri and Yuka knowing they had something to do about Hojo.
“So would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?”, Hojo asks.
“I’m sorry I can’t, my heart belongs to someone else”, she replies, lifting up her left wrist revealing the charm bracelet on it, “As you can see, I have a boyfriend and I’ll never love anyone else but him”, she adds.
“Ok, I’m sorry, I didn’t know”, Hojo sighs, walking away.
-------------------------------------
Hours Later…
In Kagome’s Room…
Kagome lays sleeping in her bed, with spirit InuYasha standing her bed looking down at her with a sorrowful look on his face.
(Kagome, I don’t have much time left), he says, glancing at the clock.
The clock read; 11:59pm.
He lifts her face gently off the pillow by her chin and kisses her fully on the lips as a clock somewhere starts chiming the 12 o’clock hour.
Kagome opens her eyes at the eleventh chime in time to see spirit InuYasha pull back and at the twelfth chime he fades away into thin air.
She sits up, “Was I dreaming?”, she whispers, her lips felt warm and tingled a little bit.
A gentle breeze blows in through the window, causing the curtains to flutter and some flower petals to flow into the room on the wind. One lone cherry blossom petal glides in on the breeze and lands on top of the locket laying on Kagome’s nightstand.
Kagome gazes at the petal, “That’s strange…”, she says, then looks at the window, “…the window wasn’t open when I went to bed”, she climbs out of bed and stands in front of the window, ‘Did InuYasha open it?’, she thinks, closing the window and goes back to bed.
“He couldn’t have”, she adds to herself, closing her eyes.
