        It was a day like any other it started off with the sun shining and Inu Yasha's group they were all waiting for one member who had traveled threw time to her home beyond the well to restock there much needed supplies unknown to the group there was a silent watcher. Cold Gold eyes narrowed at the group's relaxed atmosphere. A blue light fills the well as the woman child known as Kagome made her appearance she knew not of the bewilderment of those gold eyes that watched her, she put her smile one thinking as she walked back to her group thinking sadly to her self

‘if only I was stronger'

There's a hero if you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid of what you are.

There's an answer if you reach into your soul

and the sorrow that you know will melt away

    The gold eyes watched her slow return to her group pondering and wondering about her

‘Strong, and yet unknown to this Sesshoumaru, Pity she is only human.'

    And yet his actions spoke louder then his thoughts he followed her Watched her, and gave her a silent cheerleader And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive. She stopped suddenly and looked his way her fake smile fading as a look of curiosity hit her Face she felt him and knew he was there but why.

"Why do you hide in the Shadows Sesshoumaru? Are you a coward?"

Wind wildly blew around her and soon she found her self pinned to a tree

"This Sesshoumaru is no coward, nor dose this Sesshoumaru hide."

she gasped and her sad blue eyes met his gold ones

So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside

you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth

that a hero lies in you.

Slowly she reached up her hand to his

"Hai...gomen, it was wrong for me to take my feeling out on you..I wish I was stronger more like her."

It's a long road when you face the world alone,

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.

You can find love if you search within yourself

and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

For a brief moment he questioned the young Mikos sanity and then he remembered whom she was talking of

"ah...the dead Miko....the walking corpse."

He slowly released his grip from her neck as she knelt to the ground her grief consuming her

"you are stronger then her."

And then a hero comes along with the strength

to carry on and you cast your fears aside and

you know you can survive.

Shock filled her as her tear filled eyes shot up to look at him to see if he was lying She gasped

"Why would you say a thing like that I am pathetic and weak like the rest of the humans you hate"

So, when you feel like hope is gone

look inside you and be strong and

you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.

Arching a delicate eye brow and look down at the Miko on the ground shocked still apparent in her face

"This Sesshoumaru Dose not Lie Miko. You are strong. As for being human you can not help but what you are..how ever this Sesshoumaru know you not to be Pathetic or weak."

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,

But don't let anyone tear them away.

Hold on, there will be tomorrow,

In time you'll find the way

Still not believing him she shakes he head hard

"No you are wrong Lord Sesshoumaru I am unworthy of every thing."

Sighing and looking at the sky

"What other Human would adopt a Orphan Kit?"

And then a hero comes along

with the strength to carry on

and you cast your fears aside

and you know you can survive.

"What Human would Stand up to my Hanyou brother?"

"You do not Understand Lord Sesshoumaru I am no hero like you, him or her."

Looking at her again as silences rang through the air as he whispered to her

"It is you who dose not understand Miko"

And he be gain to walk away she jumped up and shouted to Him

"Then Tell me Sesshoumaru, What am I to understand."

Not looking back and continuing his walk his reply was clear as he disappeared from sight

So, when you feel like hope is gone

look inside you and be strong

and you'll finally see the truth t

hat a hero lies in you

that a hero lies in ... you

" that a hero lies in.....you. Kagome"
