Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

Inuyasha had left with Miroku to slay a demon in the next village. Kagome had wanted to go with them, but she was recovering from a large gash on her leg from the last demon they took down, and Inuyasha insisted she stayed home. In the time away from him, she reflected on how much he meant to her and how hard living without him was.

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
If there was a way that I can make you understand

How she missed him. He was the air she breathed, her meaning of life. She had told him she was fine, that her leg would be ok, but being Inuyasha, when he says something, he means it, and even with the pouting and pleading he made her stay behind.

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

She had been without him before. For three very long years she cried in a world where he didn’t exist, except in her heart. She didn’t think she could do it again. He meant to much to her, and she’d be damned to leave him again or have him taken away from her.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

In the next village, Inuyasha was with Miroku, and they had just finished slaying the demon. He really missed Kagome and almost felt bad for leaving her behind. Almost. He hated to see her hurt, and that gash on her leg made him uneasy. He didn’t want anything to happen to her.

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

He thought how much Kagome meant to him. How hard it was without her for those three years. The agony and pain he felt. The guilt for not finding her. How happy he was when she returned. How he proclaimed his love for her, and how he refused to ever let her out of his sight again.

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

Kagome was thinking that even as difficult it was without him, she knew they would always find each other and always be together. The three year separation proved it. The thought made her smile.

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Both Kagome and Inuyasha, now only an hour away from each other thought living without the other was not an option. Ever since Inuyasha had taken Kagome as his wife and mate, both promised never to leave the other, even in hard times. Both were happy in their thoughts, thinking of the moments when the had their first kiss as a married couple under Goshinboku and the night he made her his mate. It brought a feeling of happiness and contentment to both.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

As Inuyasha neared the village, he thought of how he could make up for leaving her behind, but yet convey the fact that he did it out of his love and protection of her.

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air

Kagome was thinking how she could apologize without actually apologizing, conveying that she knew it was for the best, but letting him know she hated to be alone.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Inuyasha walked with Miroku back to his hut and said a quick hello to Sango and the children, before making his way to Kagome. He couldn’t wait to see her and hold her in his arms.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

“Kagome?” came Inuyasha’s voice from outside the hut.

As he entered he found his mate in a very sexy red gown sprawled on their bed, and nearly started salivating. All thoughts of talking left his mind as he nearly pounced on her. Murmuring through their kisses Kagome said

“I’m still mad at you for leaving me behind” to which he replied

“It was for the best my love. Because without you, I don’t think I’d be able to breathe, and the thought of you getting hurt was…”

“Shh…I know. Just give me a great evening, and I’ll let you off the hook.”
Inuyasha smirked and said

“Woman, I’ll give you the best god damn night of your life!” and began ripping off the nightgown.

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
