Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Bring Me To Life

Inuyasha woke up the next morning, intrigued by the previous night’s dream. As he showered, he recalled the scent of the beautiful woman. He thought of her while he dressed.

“The dream just felt so real” He thought as he drove to work.

He was still depressed, but now he had something to live for, if even for a moment at a time. He had to find her, to know who she was, to know it was real. He couldn’t concentrate though his meeting and by lunch his secretary convinced him to go home.

“You just want to get rid of me, Miroku” Inuyasha says with a small smile

“Not at all boss, you’re my best friend and this is the first time in weeks that I’ve seen a smile on your face. The last thing you need to do is be at work. Don’t worry; I’ll call if there are any problems that I can’t handle” Miroku reassures.

“Fine, I’ll go. Be glad that we’re friends” he says as he walks out the door

He was actually quite glad that Miroku suggested that he went home, figuring it would give him plenty of time to figure out who the young lady was that invaded his dreams.

After getting home, he took a nap, hoping she would reappear. When he woke up, he decided to go for a jog through the park to the café ten blocks away and back. Turning on his iPod, he hits the road. The melody to “Bring me to Life” by Evanescence puts him into a trance.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

He ran across the street, listening to the music, every stray thought drifting to the raven haired beauty. Then without warning, he saw her, in the park with a friend, maybe her sister. His heart stopped as did his body. He didn’t know what to do; he couldn’t believe that she was real, not just a figment of his dreams. But what to do, he couldn’t just go talk to her; she’d think he’s crazy.


(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become


Just then, she looks up and she starts to point at him. Her face paled. Her eyes widened, and she started tapping her friend. Mouthing the words, “Oh my God, it’s him.” Not knowing what else to do, he runs.


Now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life


He used full demon speed, he ran till he could not longer breathe. When he stopped, he was at the café he initially set out for.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe it, she’s real” he thought out loud. “She truly is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, in dreams and out.”

He sat down to catch his breathe and order, when in walks his dream girl behind him.


(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become


Little did he know that they were going to the same café he ran to.

“Sango, look, I’m telling you that it’s him” the girls says

“No Kagome, you just want it to be him” Sango says

“Fine you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it” she says walking toward Inuyasha “Excuse me sir, I mean, Inuyasha”

“Yes may I help you?” he asks turning around “Um… How do you know my name?”


Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life


“Í know that this is going to sound weird, but I um, had a dream about you last night” Kagome says as she starts to blush

“Kags, I think I’m going to get us a table, take as long as you want” Sango says uncomfortably leaving the two alone.

Kagome and Inuyasha just sit staring at each other.

“You had a dream about me?” he asks

“Yes I did we were in a club and” she stops, blushes, and then glances at his head “are you uncomfortable like that?”

“What do you mean? Uncomfortable like what?” he says cocking his head to the side.

“I mean your ears silly. Are they uncomfortable when they’re pinned down like that?” she says laughing

“Yeah a lit …hey wait” he says shocked “how do you know about my ears?”

“I told you, I had a very interesting dream about you last night, Dog Boy” she says with a smirk


(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become


As he sat there mouthing the words “Dog Boy”, a knowing smile spread across his face.

“Kagome?” he asks “Are you really the same girl? You’re real?”

“Yes I am I see you remember my name” she says smiling

“How could I ever forget.” He smiles showing some fang “you better tell your friend to join us; I’m never letting you out of my sight again”

She nods and runs toward Sango. Inuyasha sits with a grin on his face, happy to find his dream girl, praying that she will accept him as he is.


(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
