-Rain-

How could you leave me?


I love the rain, the cool refreshing rain. I have never been so glad for an April storm; the sky nothing but shades of black and gray. I lifted up my hands and twirled in the never ending rain drops; the water so cold and refreshing. I pushed my hair back while the rain fell against my cheeks.

My clothes all matted and stuck against my form, chilling me to the bone. I shiver as I move forward down the sidewalk, my destination unknown.

I was fooling myself, acting like a child and using the rain as an excuse to hide my pain, but he wasn’t fooled.

A small splash confirmed his presence. I could hear him following me. He’s not the only one with a sense of presence, even though it’s just because I know him all too well to let things go. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. I didn’t fight it, I didn’t do anything. I just let him hold me.

Finally releasing me, “You can’t run from this.”

“It’s not fair, Inuyasha ---“I chocked back a sob, mad that I couldn’t control my anger. “He had no right to leave me this way.” I had been defeated and no longer cared how weak I appeared. “Who is going to take care of Souta, Momma and Grandpa?”

He tried to sooth my cracking voice with sweet words. “It’s okay, Kagome.”

I pushed him away. “It will never be okay!” I tried to run, but he caught me all too swiftly.

“He wasn’t well Kagome! He was sick and now he is healed! He is better because the pain is gone.” His voice softened.

I knew he was right. My father had been sick since I graduated high school. He had barely been able to sit through my wedding. I knew he wouldn’t last much longer, but I prayed it was only an illusion. That he wasn’t really gone.

“No.” I chocked back. “How could he leave me?” I hugged Inuyasha with everything I had. “How?!” I screamed.

“Shh, it’s okay. It’s going to be okay.” He kissed my temple as he tried to calm me down.

I fell against him, too week to stand alone. I let him hold me as we stood in the rain that engulfed us on this terrible day.

My father, Toku Higurashi gave up his battle against cancer on this very day.

No, I am not okay, but Inuyasha has insured me that time heals all hearts. Crazy as it sounded, I felt better hearing those words. So I let him escort me back to the Shrine where the funeral had taken place this morning; everyone long gone and only my family waiting for me.
I spent the rest of the night remembering the good that my father was and all the memories we shared. Souta went through the photos of our childhood up until my wedding day. We laughed, we cried, but we will always remember him.

How ironic that on a day such as this, the heavens would open up and rain would fall like tear drops? As I settled down with Inuyasha in my old room, I hear him whisper.

“He didn’t leave you. He’s always going to be right here.” He placed his hand on my heart.

I turned over to kiss him. He always knew the right things to say. “Never leave me Inuyasha.” I knew it may not have been the best thing to say, but I wanted reassurance that he would always be with me too.

“You shouldn’t even have to say so.” He kissed me once more and pulled me into his chest.

I gazed out the window as the clouds had drifted away and the moon shone through the window brightly. It was a sign from the heavens saying my father was home and he was finally healed. I smiled and let sleep consume me.

I’ll miss you father. You will always be in my heart.
