Disclaimer: This has haunted me for months. : } Rumiko Takahashi-sensei 'Hey Now' by Santana Fic by Icka! M. Chif HEY NOW, ALL YOU SINNERS The stars are too bright. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, The night is too loud. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, I can't sleep. HEY NOW, ALL YOU LOVERS Kagome is asleep next to me. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, She looks peaceful, dreaming pleasant dreams. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON Probably of her own time period, but without 'exams'. HEY NOW, ALL YOU KILLERS Above us, Inuyasha is sprawled out on a tree branch, snoring. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, He looks like some sort of ghost in the moonlight. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, Like my Pa. HEY NOW, ALL YOU CHILDREN I hate nights like this. LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON YOU BETTER I can't sleep. LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON My dreams haunt me. BECAUSE THERE'S A MONSTER LIVING I remember the Thunder Brothers. UNDER MY BED Them laughing as they took my father's pelt. WHISPERING IN MY EAR And his life. THERE'S AN ANGEL I remember my mother. WITH A HAND ON MY HEAD She used to hold me close. SHE SAYS I'VE GOT And tell me stories. NOTHING TO FEAR Tell me great all the great things I was going to be when I was a big kit. THERE'S A DARKNESS DEEP But I couldn't avenge my Pa. IN MY SOUL I was too weak. Not strong enough. I STILL GOT A PURPOSE TO SERVE But someday... I will be. SO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, I'll be strong enough to protect- INTO MY HOME -Protect myself. And the others. GOD DON'T LET ME LOSE MY NERVE Like my Pa protected me. LOSE MY NERVE if I can... HEY NOW, HEY NOW, I'm scared. HEY NOW, HEY NOW, Everyone here has lost so much, lost the people they loved. WO-OH HEY NOW, HEY NOW, I don't want to lose them too. HEY NOW, HEY NOW, I don't want to be alone again. HEY NOW, ALL YOU SINNERS Inuyasha's like some sort of strange, violent big brother. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, He's like me, both his parents died when he was young. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON, But he's got a big bother that keeps trying to kill him. HEY NOW, ALL YOU CHILDREN Kagome's the oldest child in her family. LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON YOU BETTER She acts like an older sister to us too. BETTER LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON I miss her when she goes back to her 'real' family though. But I can understand wanting to see your family. BECAUSE THERE'S A MONSTER LIVING The stars start to blur as I watch them. I blink, but they only blur more. UNDER MY BED I don't want to cry. Crying is for babies. I want to be strong. WHISPERING IN MY EAR Like my father was. Like ...Inuyasha is. THERE'S AN ANGEL Kagome moves under me, wrapping her arms around me like I'm some sort of doll. WITH A HAND ON MY HEAD I look up at her. Her eyes are open a bit, and she's smiling at me. SHE SAYS I'VE GOT "Shippou?" She whispers quietly. I nod, not knowing what else to do. NOTHING TO FEAR "It's okay." She cuddles me closer, drifting off to sleep again. SHE SAYS, WHOOO-AHHA HEY "Good night..." she yawns, then begins to snore softly again. LA LA, YOU SHINE LIKE STARS I yawn too, suddenly tired. WHOO-AOHAHA HEY LA LA, Above us, Inuyasha has his eye open a slit, watching over us silently. YOU SHINE LIKE STARS The stars twinkle like fox fire from the skies, watching over him as well. AND FADE AWAY I close my eyes as well and drift off to sleep. Good Night. fin. |
