~The Masquerade: Chapter 4~
Kagome looked up to the God Tree, 'It is fitting they burried you here, Inu Yasha.' A lone tear slipped down her cheek as she clutched the flowers she had brought to her chest. Feeling a hand on her shoulder she turned her head and found Sango looking at her, worried.
"Are you sure you are ready to do this, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked as she gave her friend's shoulder a squeeze in support.
A half hearted smile came to Kagome's lips as she nodded her head, "Yes, Sango-chan." She looked back to the tree that served as a marker for his grave as another tear slipped down her cheek. "I would like a moment alone with him one last time before I say good-bye."
No one spoke as they left the young miko alone to say her farewells. Tears fell from Sango's eyes, she had come to love the hanyou like a brother during her stay with the group and it still hurt to know he was gone. Miroku saw this and walked over to her, putting his arm around her for comfort. In the other arm was a sobbing Shippo, Miroku hung his head hiding the fact he was crying as well. Sesshoumaru and Rin followed behind the group, he could smell the salt in the air and inside he was crying right along with them.
Kagome kneeled before Inu Yasha's grave, placing the flowers on it. A tear fell to the ground next to the flowers, her head was hung and her bangs covered her eyes. "Oh, Inu Yasha, there was so much left unsaid while you were here with me. Now they will never get said, I wish..." She choked back a sob, "I wish I could go back and do things differently."
No longer holding them back, the sobs came shaking her body violently, "I will keep my promise, Inu Yasha. I will live to see Naraku defeated and the jewel whole again." She took in a deep breath slowly, calming her crying. Kagome brought her head up, looking at the spot on the tree where she had first met him.
Sesshoumaru had told Rin to stay with Sango and he had made his way back to the God Tree. He sat on one of the branches in a near by tree waiting for Kagome to leave so he could pay his respects. He watched as she broke down into tears, then as suddenly as the crying started, it stopped. Surprised, he watched her intently and a few minutes later a beautiful voice singing surrounded the area around his brother's grave.
Kagome placed her hand on Inu Yasha's grave and poured out all her love for him through her hand into the soft soil. Closing her eyes she began to sing,
~If I could put you on top of a cake
I would ice you and keep you wrapped up in a box to be near you
If I could I would
If I could touch you again with my fingers so gently
If I could feel you breathing in time next to me
but the silence surrounds me
flashing memories of you riding with the moon that night
I never had the chance to say good-bye, good-bye.~
The breeze picked up around her, caressing her with it's warmth. The breeze seemed to carry Inu Yasha's voice, calling out to her. She smiled as a tear made it's way down her cheek,
~lost forever lost to another world gone forever
but remembered in our thoughts you are
If I could open the heavens above I'd be with you
If I could hold you again in my arms I would tell you that I love you~
Kagome opened her eyes and looked again to the spot he had been pinned to on the tree. Bringing her fingers to her mouth she gave them a kiss, then she placed her hand on his grave. "Be happy where you are, Inu Yasha. Get the peace and rest you deserve." Standing, she took out an arrow and Inu Yasha's subduing necklace. Kagome walked to the God Tree and pinned the necklace to it with the arrow. "I love you, Inu Yasha. Good-bye."
Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome walked away from the God Tree. Her song still playing over repeatedly in his head, he leapt from his branch and landed gracefully near the grave. He shook his head, the tears he could not weep poured out through his voice as he spoke. "I'm sorry, little brother, that I was not there to fight along your side. Tell Father that I could not keep his request, I failed him."
He looked in the direction that Kagome had gone, "I will keep her safe, even if it kills me. I will not fail you too, brother." Sesshoumaru bowed his head and turned to take his leave. He heard someone clear their throat, looking up he saw Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Rin before him.
Miroku walked up to him with something wrapped in cloth lain across his arms. Bowing, he handed the item to the demon lord, "Sesshoumaru-sama, I was instructed to give this gift to you by Inu Yasha." After Sesshoumaru took the item Miroku backed away from him.
Carefully, he unwrapped the cloth, a tear escaped his eye as he looked to his brother's sword. Looking up to the group he saw nothing but their smiles. He took it completely out of the cloth and to his surprise he could touch it and not be rejected. Sesshoumaru smiled and whispered, "Thank you."
Sesshoumaru watched as they turned and started to Kaede's village. He turned to the God Tree, walking towards it he heard Kagome's voice "Are you coming with us, Sesshoumaru?"
Looking to her, he smiled, "I will be on my way shortly, I have one more thing to do here." He saw Kagome nod her head, then turn her back to him. Getting to the tree he allowed a small amount of poison come to his claws. Then right below the hole from the arrow that held his brother he drew a heart and placed Inu Yasha's and Kagome's name within it. Making sure it was deep enough to withstand through the years, he smiled and made his way to the village.
