Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,

“InuYasha, I think I’m going to go home for a couple of days.” I said in a cheery tone that betrayed my displeasure. I couldn’t be here on my birthday. I had promised my family I would come home. And that I would do. Stupid InuYasha, I’m not going to stay and look for the stupid shard in this stupid place with these stupid demons and all of this stupid fighting.

“No Kagome you can’t, I—“

“InuYasha I’m going to go home and you can’t stop me. Don’t even come after me or I’ll say it.” Gosh I can’t even stand him sometimes. Always making me stay here, I just walked off; I didn’t care about what he had to say. He would tell me he has to find shards, or there were rumours of the shards. Everything is about the shards, not even about us. He doesn’t care about us, just him; only him... and those stupid shards that he cares so much about.

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

My friends … no my feudal family, I couldn’t even think about them then. I wonder what they must have thought. Maybe they just sat, maybe stood, silent as always. I didn’t care, not then. Maybe at some point I did. I was too mad then, maybe too stupid. Whatever it was, it blocked them out of my mind and left me somewhere I didn’t want to be. Alone with him.

“Kagome,” He called off after me as I stormed off. I couldn’t stand it, he couldn’t even remember. The day that we met? How could he not remember that? I mean, sure he doesn’t have to remember that I was my birthday, but he could at least remember that one day. I couldn’t stand this anymore; the thoughts of him not caring weren’t even helping me. They just made me feel worse. My eyes began to burn as the well clearing was in sight. Everything became blurry with tears as I closed in on the one thing keeping me connected to InuYasha, and he couldn’t even remember that day. One day, that’s all I ask. I didn’t even ask, I just thought that maybe he would.

Just before I got to the well, I felt his arms wrap around my waist and he buried his face in my hair. He didn’t let me go, and I knew he wouldn’t. I didn’t want him too, and yet I did. I wanted to leave but I wanted him to be with me, always. I couldn’t stop them, my tears just fell. Tears of pain and… tears of joy. I didn’t know what to feel. He cared about me enough to come after me, even though I would tell him to sit, but he didn’t care about me enough to remember this day. How could he? A fool … that’s what I am. A fool for loving him, and he knew it. He would hurt me, break my heart … and I would come back. Why?

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is a fade,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh.,..
Your love,

“InuYasha let me go. I want to leave.” I said. Maybe they hurt him to hear as much as it hurt me to say it? Just maybe … not likely; he would probably just go back to her. The woman he loves. “Leave me alone InuYasha!” I yelled as tears began to flow freely down my face. And still he didn’t move.

“Kagome, please stay. I want you to stay.”

“Why? So we can go search for the stupid shards that you care so much about?”

“No, because … because I love you, and I remember.”

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

“Please Kagome, will you stay?”

I was surprised … no, downright shocked. I couldn’t believe it. He said it to me. He loves me. At that point, my legs couldn’t hold me up anymore. I would have fallen, straight to the ground. He held tighter onto me. I broke down and cried. I didn’t care anymore, he could see my tears. They were tears of joy and love, the tears that he caused me.

I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I turned to him. I buried my face in his chest and cried. If he said it now, and denied it later … I would be entirely broken. More than I am … more than I was before. “Do … do you mean it?” I managed to say between broken sobs. “Yes, you mean everything to me.” He said as he tried to calm me down. As the sobs began to subside, I was able to look at him. It seemed as if it was the first time in ages.

“Kagome, you look beautiful.” He said just before he kissed me. I looked terrible, I could tell. My hair was probably a mess, and my eyes most likely red and puffy. But he thought I was beautiful, strange.

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I won’t let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

We broke away from our kiss and he just held me. For what felt like hours we just stood there. For me it was only the two of us, no one else. Nothing mattered; I didn’t care about any of it, for only that moment.

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

He kissed me, once again. Only on the forehead though, and the sweetest thing happened.

“Happy Birthday Kagome … Marry me?”
