InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bring Me Back To You ❯ Memories ( Chapter 1 )

Kagome could see him. In the highest tree he sat arms folded, with that familiar look of pride on his face. His silver hair swaying in the breeze. Tetsusaiga in it scabard rested in his arms. He turned. His golden eyes bore into her . the gaze tore at her heart, pulled at her soul. then the shadow vanished.

"Ugh! why can i get him out of my head? After so long I cant forget him." She looked towards the God tree near the shrine

"Why must you haunt me like this?" she whispered barely audible

Then she heard him "You promise , Kagome?"

She could see him now. even smell him....... feel him

"Yes Inu-Yasha. I will always come back to you......no matter how far..how long....I crossed time to meet you and i will never let that slip away."

Her own words echoed back to her....deep in her heart she could feel the emotion bound to them.....

It seemed she spoke those words just yesterday...but in reality it had been years ago, two years in fact. She hadnt kept her promise..she let him slip away.. Her hurt and anger got the better of her...and she failed him...When he needed her to save him from his blinding love for Kikiyo..and from his toughest opponant(sp).....himself.

"The time i was overcome with the weakness of out of control emotion..." a lone tear ran down her soft cheek. she wispered into the wind...."you paid with your life"

Her mother came out of the house. "Kagome come inside, you'll catch cold"

The tear fell. "Yes mother." she said ,trying to sound as normal as possible

Like any mother , hers knew better. Two years ago Kagome climbed out of the well for the last time he shoulders slumped in defeat........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TWO YEARS BEFORE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-"Kagome what happened" Her mother looked at the girl all bloody and bruised tears stained her young cheeks

-"Kagome...?" he mother asked more worriedly...she walked towards her daughter slowly .

She never expected to see what she did..She did not see her daughter...her daughter always had a look of determination on her face always held her head high no matter what the situation came to...But this..this person she saw was just a shell of what had been..the light that once danced in her eves was gone...replaced with a neverending darkness...What had taken the light , the will to go on ,out of her child's eyes.

She covered her shocked mouth in realization "a love lost"

Kagome turned ,her eyes empty "I ..I failed him" she sobbed

And with that she ran into the house.
