Maybe this time

Inuyasha song fic

A/N: Hey! This is my 1st fanfic! It might not be very good coz it was written quite quickly coz the idea came to me suddenly when I was listening to the song.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Inuyasha or the song "Maybe This Time."

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
maybe this time he'll stay
maybe this time, for the first time
Love won't hurry away

Kagome sighed to herself as she saw Kikyo's soul snatchers come closer to the village that she and Inuyasha were staying in. She hoped to herself that, maybe this time, Inuyasha might not go and see Kikyo and just stay with her. Maybe, because she loves him and him her, he won't go.

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
not a loser anymore
like the last time, and the time before

She hoped that he would stay with her and hold her softly in his arms. The feeling she felt when he held her was one being home. When he held her in his arms she felt like she wasn't worthless and that he was keeping her around for a reason. Whenever he left her, for Kikyo, she felt as if he was just keeping her around as a jewel shard detector.

Everybody loves a winner
so nobody loved me
Lady peaceful, Lady happy
that's what I long to be

Maybe he didn't love her because she wasn't as powerful as Kikyo. I mean he always had to protect her. What if he felt she was a burden and that he liked that Kikyo could look after herself and was very powerful. A winner. Just by falling in love with Inuyasha had given her a lot of unhappiness.

All the odds are, they're in my favour
something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen, hahaha-happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

Why does he love her? Why not me? It makes more sense for him to love me! I'm the one that's always there for him. Maybe this time I'll show him how much I love him.

Cuz
everybody they love a winner
so nobody loved me
Lady peaceful, Lady happy
that's what I long to be

Everybody loved and loves Kikyo. Why would they not? She is and was very powerful and kept all the demons away. She was the perfect protector of the Shikon Jewel. She was a winner. Me? Well, I broke the jewel into pieces within days of getting it, creating the journey that we are on. I'm a loser. I sometimes wonder what would've happened if I hadn't met Inuyasha. Would I be happier? I want to be happy. I want to be happy with Inuyasha but sometimes I think that isn't possible.

All the odds are, they're in my favour
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen,
happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

I have everything that Kikyo has for Inuyasha and more. I accepted him as a half demon and showed him happiness and a new life. He wouldn't be happy with Kikyo. All the signs point to me. Why can't he see that?

Though, maybe this time, He might. He might and not go to see Kikyo.
