Welcome to the Black Parade

Welcome to the Black Parade

“It was a beautiful service, Inu” Kagome says as they come in from Kikyou’s funeral “It was so kind of you to arrange it”

“It was a lot of work for three days time, Kags” Inuyasha says wearily

“I know, but you were great!” she says with a small smile

“It was my fault, I had to, and it was the least I could do” he says slowly walking up the stairs “I’m tired, I’m going to lie down.”

“Ok, I’m going to run to my apartment with Sango to load up the rest of my stuff, I won’t be long” she says blowing him a kiss

“I’ll be here” he gives a wry smile

“I know” she smiles back “hey, we’re leaving Sango’s car here. We’ll just load mine so I can unload it whenever”

“Ok, drive safely” he says waving


With that Kagome went outside to meet Sango and they drove off. When she came home two hours later, she realized leaving was a big mistake.

“Kagome, what is that music coming from the house?” Sango asks curiously

“Oh no” she says “it’s ‘Welcome to the black parade’ by My Chemical Romance. This cant be good”

“What do you mean” she asks

“His music depicts his moods, and from what I can tell, he’s a bit emo. He thinks that Kikyou’s death was his fault” Kagome sighs “I better go and make sure he’s ok. Thanks again Sango, I love you.”

“I love you too, good luck with your mate” she smiles

“Thanks, I think I’ll need it” she says walking toward the house.


When I was a young boy,
my father took me into the city
to see a marching band.

He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you,
a phantom to lead you in the summer,
to join The Black Parade."


“INUYASHA!” she yelled opening the front door “BABY CAN YOU HEAR ME”

She heads up the stairs hoping to get his attention and to get him to turn down the music, if only a little bit.

“Inuyasha?” she says knocking on the door “what’s wrong?”


She was just greeted by a sniff.

“Please open the door”


When I was a young boy,
my father took me into the city
to see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"


She was getting worried now, he wasn’t answering and the choice of music was depressing. Not knowing what to do, she rattled the door, praying it was unlocked, it wasn’t.


“Go away Kagome” he sobs out

“Why should I?” she questioned “I’m worried about you”

“You should be worried.” He says

“What is that supposed to mean?” she says shocked


Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know.


After she rattled the door a few more seconds, Inuyasha finally gave in and opened the door. She was not prepared for the sight she saw. Toukajin, sitting on the bed and Inuyasha’s hands bloody.


“Why is Sesshomaru’s fang here and why are you bleeding?” she says as tears well in her eyes

“You would be much better off without me. I bring death to everyone around me” he sobs harder

“Kikyou’s death was NOT your fault, please believe me.” She pleads

“Not just Kikyou. If my mom never got pregnant with me, my father would still be alive. If I had never been born, my mother would still be alive. If I had never changed my brother’s heart and he started to protect humans, he would still be alive. And finally, if I would have just taken Kikyou back or at least killed Oni, she would still be alive as well” he sighs heavily

“Do you regret making me your mate?” she asks

“No, never, but I don’t want to see you hurt. I don’t want you to die too.” he says as tears flow freely


We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it.


“Oh baby, you’ll be fine. We’ll be fine, most importantly, I’ll be fine” she reaches for his hands and puts them to her lips to kiss them, forgetting about the blood “hmm, so this is what someone else’s blood tastes like, oh well.

“Kagome, I’m sorry, I should have stopped you” he says with wide eyes

“Oh its fine, you took a little of my blood when we were mated, so now we’re even” she smiles “what’s it going to take for me to make you feel better?”


A world that sends you reeling from decimated dream
your misery and hate will kill us all.
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call


“Don’t ever leave me, especially not after doing that.” He says getting up to get a towel to clean up the rest of the blood

“Doing what?” she questions

“Willingly taking my blood” he says

“What’s that do” she asks

“I’ll explain tomorrow, just don’t leave me” he says

“I won’t, you’ll be fine, and we’ll carry on”

To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all


“I’m going to get up early to get everything out of the car and I’ll put Toukajin back then, but for now, you need to sleep” she says cleaning his face then his hands

“Kagome, I’m sorry for everything, I’m so stupid” he says with his ears flat against his head.

“You’re not perfect, I knew that when we mated, I don’t love you any less” she says stocking his ears.


Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! Don’t! Care!

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on


After cleaning all of his wounds, Kagome got up to clean the towel and to dress for bed, during which she instructed him to do the same. She laid Toukajin across the dresser and got back in the bed. Inuyasha immediately snuggle close to her. Kagome gently stoked his ears till they both were sound asleep.


Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)
