Scars of Agony

 

III. Scar of Hope

 

I should end it now, you don't want me

 

You don't want the pain...

 

How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable

So condescending, unnecessarily critical

I have the tendency of getting very physical

So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here

This double vision I was seeing is finally clear

You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone

Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on

 

Kagome ran along the path of the sidewalk, her hair waving madly behind her, a wet mess. The rain came down cold and hard, she needed to get away. She needed to be away from it all. Taking a secret path that Inuyasha had shown her, it lead to the lake. The perfect spot.

As the ground slushed from her foot steps the was tying a knot in the rope she had always carried, tying it to a rock, she dragged it out to the water. As she stepped in the shallow area, the rush of cold water came onto her legs and up her dress.

 

As she carried the heavy rock farther, she could no longer feel her legs. Tying a quick knot around her legs she dropped the rock, dragging herself to the bottom, finally ending it, finally, everyone would be happy. Inuyasha's worry will go away, his pain, his everything that was caused because of her.

 

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

 

Kagome allowed the air to slowly leave her body, she looked up at the surface through water fogged eyes, watching the rain make ripples in the water. She stared all she could do, happiness was far beyond her now, what more could she do but allow everything to leave? She wanted to let all the air out now, but feeling the pain in her lungs for a bit before it ended would allow her to know that this was all real. That this was all happening.

 

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head

You should know better you never listened to a word I said

Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat

Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

 

As she felt herself slipping away, words filled her head, one's from herself and Inuyasha. The ones that she loved most and dare not let go of. Seeing as it was important to them, how they were, who they were together.

I love you Kagome, I promise I will always love you, protect you, never let you go...

I love you too Inuyasha...

I'll protect you even when you don't want me too...

 

Then had he lied? He was not here, he was letting her go, though he protected her when she did not want it. She shook her head, she had to get out. As she struggled to move her numb feet from the ropes, trying to swim to the top. She wouldn't make it, she knew that as she reached her hand out to try and reach the surface.

Inuyasha...

 

Does it kill

Does it burn

Is it painful to learn

That it's me that has all the control

Does it thrill

Does it sting

When you feel what I bring

And you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe...

 

A gasp escaped Kagome's lips as she was faced with freezing air, but soon, she was taken into warm arms, the binds on her legs were removed instantly, she smiled and leaned into the warmth, laying her head down.

 

"Inuyasha... you... kept your promise..." she mumbled softly onto Inuyasha's chest.

 

"Of course..." he whispered into her hair as he hugged her freezing form.

Inuyasha lifted the small form into his arms, carrying her back to his house.

 

A/N: Yes, a short chap...
