InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Take Me Back Then ❯ Last One ( Chapter 2 )

Another Days of the New song, don't remember the title though, sorry. I'll post it when I get around to finding the name :).

"Love isn't worth this much trouble. I'm going back to my time. Oh and here's your precious shards." Those were the last words Kagome said to me as the bottle of shards came flying at my chest. Does that mean she's not coming back? She wouldn't leave me alone on our hunt for the shards would she?

Alone with pain

She knows that she is more than just a shard detector, doesn't she? I may not be the nicest of people but that's just my personality. Can't she see I argue with her more than the rest of the group? I'm not very forthcoming with my feelings but she must have realized I thought of her as a friend.

I thought I'd made a friend

What made Kagome leave, was it love? She can't love me, nobody loves a filthy hanyou. Even Kikyo wanted me to become human. Maybe it's Kikyo that made her leave. Could she have seen us embracing in the forest?

Why do you leave now
Is this what you've planned

It must have been Kikyo. I heard her run off as she approached us in the forest and I smelt her salty tears as she ran away. Crying? She was crying over me? No one has ever cared for me that much. Not even Kikyo. Why do I pledge my love to a lifeless person? Deep in my heart I love her but I know she isn't the same person much less alive; she is now cold and unforgiving. I pledge my love to her and she responds by trying to drag me to hell. I still love her but I am not in love with her. Kagome on the other hand is always warm, caring, and accepts me for who I am. Why couldn't I see it before? She was right in front of me the whole time and I kept running after an empty shell of Kikyo. I do care for Kagome. Wait your turn Kagome I am coming for you.

Wait your turn
It's a long time
Before you'll breath

My decision made, I reach down and pick up the shards from the ground. So much trouble they have caused. If I can convince Kagome to come back I'll relinquish my desire to become a full demon. I think it would please her to hear that. She never wanted me to become one. Neither did she want me to become human for her. Such pain I've caused her. I can still smell her tears down the well. Don't worry, I will come and free you from your tears.

Stay underwater and tell me are you free

I gather all my courage and jump into the well. The sky has darkened considerably. I must have been in thought for quite awhile. I sigh and slowly walk to the tree beneath her window. Climbing up I carefully move to the branch closest to her window and silently crawl in. She is sleeping soundly and looking rather peacefully despite the events which occurred earlier. In the darkness I can still see her eyes leaking onto her pillow. As much as I'd like to wake her and talk I know it would be unwise at this time. Having fled the feudal era and me I think she might need some time to sleep on it. Besides I really don't feel like being `sat' while trying to explain things. Had I realized what was going on maybe I could have prevented it. It's all my fault so I cannot complain, I'll just have to wait.

I cannot complain
The pain will stay here for today

It seems to stay
I cannot complain
The pain will stay

Stealthily I climb back out to the branch and continue to watch her from my perch.
"Kagome I want to be there for you" I whisper to her.

I want to be there for you
You can't seem to take this ride
I want to be there for you now

There's not much I can do now. I climb back down the tree and head for the well. Tomorrows another day, and just because I want this resolved doesn't mean its going to happen overnight.

The world is a pea
No it don't revolve around me
If anything I revolve around the world

I cannot complain about the events that have taken place as they are a result of my reactions. All I can do is fix it and alleviate her pain. All will be well tomorrow.

I cannot complain
The pain will stay here for today
It seems to stay
I cannot complain
The pain will stay
Cannot complain

"Kagome I'll be back tomorrow, then all will be well."
