InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Shades of Gray ❯ I'm Never Broken ( Chapter 13 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Awww....like I said before, you just gotta love that pointless fluff.

Well...thanks again to everyone who has reviewed, sent in tips, and said encouraging words. I find myself saying this more and more often lately, but I guess for a good reason! More people supporting me, day by day! I can honestly say I've never felt so appreciated ^_^

Ok...one thing that has come to my attention is that more and more chapters are becoming filled with songs o_O. Which in turn leads me to the conclusion that I am either fantasizing too much, or I will have to change the description to: CAUTION! SONGFIC! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. o_O

Anywho, please enjoy the next chapter and tell me what you think (a.k.a. R&R! ^_^)

Thanks all ^.--

OH! P.s.: I do not own any of the songs from previous chapters, or the song in this chapter...yes there is a song >_<

P.P.s.: It's also come to my attention that the story is becoming more and more a "Kagome's World" P.O.V. ... I hope no-one minds! =\

Chapter 13: I'm Never Broken

[Kagome's World]

She walked with him through the night, the stars peeking through the forest upon the couple.

She took his hands, and he laces his fingers through hers. She looked up at him with and he smiled at her. She liked it when he smiled. She wished he would do it more. She also liked it when he laughed...had she heard him laugh before? On her "to-do" list...

"InuYasha...did you actually think that...I was...well...dead?" She asked as she looked up at him with question in her eyes.

He kept looking straight, his head lowering a bit so that his eyes were shaded. She couldn't read the look on his face. His ears drooped a bit, and he replied, "I did. And for the first time in my life...I actually felt lost."

He stopped walking, forcing her to stop beside him since they still locked hands. She turned so that her whole body face him. She left nothing closed, nothing hidden. She gave him her everything, all she was as she waited for him to continue.

````

If Icould tell the world just one thing it would be, "we're all ok"

Not to worry, `cuz worry is wasteful and useless in timeslike these

````

He raised his head so she could see his eyes. Amber pools filled with waters of sorrow, unshed tears behind their walls. Her heart constricted tightly in her chest, at the sheer thought that he suffered.

````

Iwon't be made useless, won't be idled with despair,

Igather myself around my faith, for light does the darkness most fear

````

He raised his hand to her face, and slowly released the other from her grip. Both hands rested on the sides of her face, as he used his hands to brush the bangs away from her eyes: "Kagome...I made a mistake. I realized it as soon as I saw you fall...away from me. Forever. I watched as you fell into the water, I couldn't move. I looked for you, I cried for you," Kagome's eyes immediately locked with his, seeing the seriousness in his own, "I realized that..." he diverted his gaze temporarily,

````

My hands are small, Iknow, but they're not yours they are my own,

But they're not yours, they are my own. and I'm never broken

````

"Kagome...I can't live without you. You are the only thing I can turn to when I'm lost, the only one who can calm me, who can comfort me when no-one understands, even if you yourself don't understand."

````

Poverty stole your golden shoes, it didn't steal your laughter

And heartache came to visit me, butIknew it wasn't ever after

````

"Kagome..." he brushed his thumb across her cheek, caressing it softly as he leaned his head in slowly so that it rested on her shoulder. Their heads touched and he raised his a bit so that his mouth was near her ear, "I love you."

````

We'll fight, not out of spite, for someone must stand up for what's right

`Cuz where there's a man who has no voice,thereours shall go sing

````

Kagome's eyes welled up with tears as she angled her head to rub her cheek against his. "I love you InuYasha...and I always will."

````

My hands are small, Iknow, but they're not yours they are my own

But they're not yours they are my own, and I'm never broken

````

He lifted his head back, and a small tear trailed down Kagome's cheek. He wiped it away with the back of his hand, as he leaned down and kissed her tenderly.

````

In the end, only kindness matters, in the end, only kindness matters

Iwill get down on my knees, and Iwill pray

````

Kagome placed her hands on either side of his head, in the same manner as he had done a short while ago, as she kissed him. Love flowed through both parties into eachother. Kagome broke the kiss, and InuYasha raised his head, eyes still closed, and kissed both her eyes just above the eyelid.

````

My hands are small, Iknow, but they're not yours they are my own

But they're not yoursthey are my own, and I'm never broken

````

She rubbed his back softly before turning as they both began to walk again towards the place they called home. Kagome wrapped her arm around his torso, the other falling to her side, as he wrapped his own arm around her shoulders, pulling her in close.

````

My hands are small, Iknow, but they're not yours they are my own

But they're not yours they are my own, and I'm never broken

We are never broken

````

"InuYasha...did you tell everyone that I was dead? I mean...before you knew I was alive?" He nodded silently in response. A bit hesitantly, she questioned, "Did you tell them what happened? Everything?"

````

We are God's eyes, God's hands, God's mind

We are God's eyes, God's hands, God's heart

````

He only responded by shaking his head in the negative. She smiled at him meekly. "We don't have to, it's alright," she still watched him as he swallowed, his Adam's apple moving, "It doesn't matter anymore. They don't need to know everything." She smiled at him reassuringly, and he turned his head to face her as they continued walking. He nodded a small acknowledgement, smiling a bit to show his thanks.

````

We are God's eyes, God's hands, God's eyes

We are God's hands

````

Kagome smiled back as she turned to rest her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. Everything in her world had found its center again, was back in balance. Everything was the way it should be. Everything, in short, was bliss once again.

````

We are God's hands

````
