Chapter16: Home

Disclaimer: I don’t own the song Home by Daughtry, nor do I own Inuyasha and its characters. And I don’t own you. I do own the plot, however.

BWS: The lyrics are sung by a male, but it’s pretty obvious which verses and chorus’ apply to Kouga and which apply to the reader ^.^ If not, I’d be more than happy to come back and point it out ^.^

‘Thank you, Inuyasha, for keeping your promise. I’ll never forget the bond we shared, the place in each of our hearts that keeps the other there, no matter how far apart we are. I’ll see you again, my friend, my brother.’

~I’m staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I’m going to a place where love
And feeling good don’t ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel’s a different kind of pain~

Ginta paced back and forth at the entrance of the den, worry written all over his face. Hakkaku was right behind him, just as fretful and distressed as his blue-haired pack-mate. In fact, all the other members of the tribe all sat or stood around outside the den, nerves and anxiousness running high. The same question was on all their minds: Would their sister Name stay, or would she go? And… if she did go, then what? With the threat of Naraku, and Kouga’s previous interest in gathering the Shikon shards, what was going to happen?

~Well I’m going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always
Been enough for me~

Everyone’s attention suddenly snapped towards the path leading up to the den, Ginta and Hakkaku stopping their pacing simultaneously and, surprisingly, not knocking each other over in the process. When they spotted Kouga coming up the path — alone— they feared the worst, their chests already constricting with sadness.

~I’m not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I’m going home~

“Oh no…” Hakkaku breathed, eyes moistening slightly.

“Poor Kouga,” Ginta whimpered, eyes also moistening, not only for the sake of his leader’s loss, but because that meant he lost a friend, a sister, too.

~Well I’m going home~

It took them a minute to register the fact that your wolves – Storm and Blanca - were walking beside Kouga, occasionally pausing and looking back. They thought it odd. And even when the whole tribe spotted your familiar color wolf ears, hair color hair, and your happy eye color eyes, it took them all but two minutes to comprehend the fact that you were home. You came back with Kouga. You gave him another chance.

~The miles are getting longer, it seems
The closer I get to you
I’ve not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love, it makes true
And I don’t know why
You always seem to give me another try~

Murmurs went through the tribe members, all lost in slight confusion and shock. Ginta and Hakkaku’s yelps of “Sister!” set off a chain reaction of yells and cheers through your den mates as the two wolf demons responsible for the kick-start ran to you and glomped you, bawling their eyes out and gushing incomprehensibly but happily.

~So I’m going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always
Been enough for me
I’m not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old~

You laughed merrily. “Miss me?” This brought about a round of wailing, and you snickered when you saw Kouga cringe, and then twitch, out of the corner of your eye.

“We were afraid you’d never come back~!”

“We wouldn’t know what to do without you~!” Ginta added, both wolf demons still wailing.

“And we’d be the outlets for Kouga’s pent-up misery~!” they both wailed – loudly - in unison.

You merely laughed. “Okay, time to get off; you’re suffocating me and I think I’m going deaf on top of it!” They let you go, before taking a place on either side of you and Kouga, walking with the two of you to the entrance of the den, of which all your pack-mates were standing in front. Ginta, Hakkaku, Storm, and Blanca joined the others as you and Kouga moved through the tribe, receiving smiles and phrases of “Welcome home,” and “I’m glad you’re back.” A small cub wolf-demon even hugged your leg, letting out a squeaky “We woulda missed you lots!” causing a smile to break onto your face. After the welcoming was over, you looked up at Kouga.

“Want to go to our favorite place?” you questioned. Your response was a nod.

~*~

~Be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don’t want~

The two of you escaped your pack-mates and made your way to the waterfall, the small garden you had started now covering most of the landscape and in full bloom, the roses a deep vibrant red. You didn’t even step two feet into the place before Kouga wrapped his arms around your waist from behind, leaning to whisper “Thank you,” in your ear.

~Be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it all
You just might get all
Yeah~

You turned in his arms, wrapping your own around his shoulders, looking up at him. “I did it for us. I couldn’t let what we had go to waste without at least trying to fix it.” He smiled down at you, thankfulness shining in his sapphire eyes with the promise of love and support buried deep within.

“I’ll give it my all, this time around,” he replied softly, before capturing your lips in a sweet, love-filled kiss, with all the meaning his silent promise held behind it.

~Oh, well, I’m going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always
Been enough for me
I’m not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I’m going home

I’m going home~

Building… (Chp. 18)

BWS: As I’m typing this up, I’m realizing how its pretty corny and gooey-mushy crap. And I’m terribly sorry, ‘cause I suck at that stuff and can’t stand it. So. When I EVENTUALLY finish this fic, I promise I’ll go back and revise it. ^.^ I know, I know, failfail!

If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm not afriad to dream-to sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
And you refuse to lift me

Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along
If I fall and all is lost
Its where I belong ~ Cloud Nine; Evanescence
