Reflections Chapter 2: Kagome – One Last Goodbye by: I. C. All

A/N: Konnichiwa! This is IC once again, with yet another sad poem. Yes, I have once again been struck by inspiration. I let my friends read 'Ode To My Pa' and some of them actually cried ... Even the boys, who, normally, would have never allowed themselves to do so. o_O
Needless to say, it was extremely flattering, and they urged me to write more. One even asked if they could borrow my poem to place in their father's new collection of poems. I'm actually kind of reluctant, because if I do, I'll have to edit it and I really don't want to change my work. Ah, well. For now, please enjoy my newest poem. The person 'writing' this is kind of OOC here, but ... Well, you'll probably figure it out at the beginning. ^________^ Ja ne!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, okay?! Don't rub it in ...

Dedicated to: My friend's mother and my teacher's wife who both passed away from cancer just recently. May your souls rest in peace. ;_;

Even though you never say it, I know that it is true

That it hurts you so badly each time I turn to you

My face, I know that it reminds you everyday of her

My eyes, my nose, my mouth, my hair, sad memories do they stir

And even though the fact remains that she is truly gone

Late at night, I look at you, and know you can't move on

I want to tell you to forget her, to start a brand new life

But your dreams will still remain, just like a painful knife

When the darkness falls across this already shadowed place

You never, ever dare to admit it, but I see tears fall from your face

I want to enfold you in my arms and hold you while you cry

But I know that you despise weakness more than you hate to lie

And whenever your sad gaze turns to fall on me

I see the pain right in your eyes etched in so deeply

I know you have an obligation, though it hurts to say

I wish that you were free of this burden Fate has thrown your way

And as impossible as it may sound, I never wanted to

But the undeniable truth is, I've fallen in love with you

But you will always love her deep inside your heart

And that is why I have decided that we must now part

I wish you to be happy if you make her your wife

Though this scar will haunt me for the rest of my lonely life

It won't last long now, anyway, as you will plainly see

If you still want to find me, I'll be underneath our tree

My time is near, so I just have one final request

Please bury me under our tree, where we started our quest

A/N: *squeaks* Okay, you must have figured out who the person was, and who the poem was addressed to. If not, then the person writing is Kagome and it is for Inuyasha. *winces as she scans her work* Dang, I am going to beat myself over the head in the morning for this ... (Oh, my god! I killed Kagome! You *@^&#!)
Actually, this started out as random writing while I waited for my cousin after school, and one line lead to another, which eventually ended up as this. Cool, ne?
Oh, well. I hope I made you cry – well, not really, but it's still kinda flattering to know that you moved someone with your work ... in a weird, slightly twisted kind of way. o_O Okay, I'll shut up now.
Please don't forget to review! Inu/Kago forever! ^_^ Ja ne!

Quote of the Day:
(Souta has convinced Inuyasha to help him practice confessing his feelings to a girl he has a crush on. Inuyasha has reluctantly assumed the role of 'girl' while Souta is fiddling around nervously.)
Souta: I ... I lo– ... I love you!
Voice off-screen: What-what's going on?
(Both of the boys turn to see Kagome in shock, twitching from the scene she has just witnessed. Camera shifts back to the two boys, who are also twitching like mad.)
