Chapter 3 Almost Dosen't Count.

 

 

Almost made you love me, almost made you cry, almost made you happy baby didn't, I didn't I, you almost had me thinking you have turned around, but everybody knows almost doesn't count, almost heard you singing you were finally free, what was always missing, for you babe you found in me.

 

 

He stood atop of a peak of a hill were the last battle had took place, her blood still coated his armor, three days that's what it had been, and yet he still not felt the strength, to go to the hot springs and bath her blood off of him, it would kill him to do so, for that would mean, she was truly gone. She was his world, and the last few months since that day at the mountain, he had never felt anything like this, and yet he remember, those words that propelled him, into a new way thinking of love. She was the girl that was five hundred years from the future, a small, but sad smile adorned his face, his woman, was to special to be from this time he thought. He felt Ginta, and Hakkaku, approach him, they were concerned, and yet his last thought as both of them touched his shoulder, almost made her love me, he thought, she was the missing part of him, she was his heaven, and he almost defeated Naraku, before he could take-.

 

 

But you can't get to heaven half off the ground everybody know almost doesn't count. I can't keep loving you with one foot outside the door. I hear a funny hesitation, of a heart that not really sure, can't keep trying if your looking for more but all that I can give you is what you came here for.

 

 

 

 

 

“Koga?” Not turning to face his companions, he answered, “Leave me, I wish to be alone, right now.” They both squeezed his shoulder, as no depth of emotions could be heard in his voice. They felt his pain, looking down on were the battle had taken place, both their eyes roamed over the dead, yet after all the death, they both knew two bodies, were not there, laying amongst the carnage of the last battle, two sad sighs were heard, before his men had left him. His thoughts of her returned, he remembered how she was always hesitant, to return his love, and three days ago he had found out why, if only she would have told me her reason, before, then he would heard those three little words, and now he never would.

 

“NO!” He yelled he would not think of that right now, to think about that would drive him insane.

 

 

Glancing up and around the battlefield below him, he smelt him before he saw him, Inuyasha.

 

Got find somebody not afraid to let go, want know if you can be that kind of girl, you came real close, but every time you build me up you only let me down, and everybody know almost doesn't count.

 

No one but Ginta and Hakkaku had seen Inuyasha for three days, and now there he stood in the middle of all the bodies, he smelt of both of their, and his own blood, it covered him from head to toe, along with mud, both of his men told that yesterday they had found him in the middle of the battlefield, they both went to call out to him and he turned away from them. Both then stated he started to search the battlefield, at first they thought that he was looking for an object, but to their dismay, he started picking up corpses, moving them, looking under them, and all around them, it wasn't until he spoke that they knew he had gone insane, they both quoted him, “Got to find them both, got to save them, they need me to save them.” Koga looked at the shell of a being that was known as Inuyasha, were a once proud stubborn, and powerful being stood was a pathetic, creature relieving his own hell, the only way he knew how. Watching how his eyes darted frantically around, and the crazed look that shone brightly in them, he now understood that insane howling that could be heard late every night had been him, he never in his life had heard anything so painful, that noise that him, his men, the rest of Inuyasha group, the old woman, and the villagers, it started three days ago, and know one talked of it, and he now knew why, all of them had known it was him. Him who had been afraid to let go of the other woman, that had looked like her, the first time he took her he knew what they both had felt, if he would have let go then, he would have had what now his heart desirers. Every one of his loving touch that he gave her to give her hope, only to take it back by seeing, the other woman that looked like her. As he watched Inuyasha begin, his search, his heart felt, the same sadness, for both of them could not do what, both of them vowed to do, protect her, and that's when he thought almost doesn't count.

 

 

Maybe you will be sorry, maybe you will be cold, maybe you will coming running back from the cruel, cruel world, you almost convinced me you were going to stick around, but everybody know, almost doesn't count, maybe I'll be here, maybe I'll see you around, but that's the way it goes, almost doesn't count.

 

 

Inuyasha had faired better than the others, Koga thought, even better than him, Inuyasha's delusion kept the both of them alive, and that's what separated them both for he knew they both were gone no amount of looking, and know amount of digging would ever bring them both back. Koga thoughts turned to the old woman first, since the first time she actually saw them both unmoving, not breathing, he watched as the old woman's face grew older, and paler every day, to think of the two that was lost. The Innocence that was lost that day, she had told him early to day, maybe she should have been on the battlefield that day, she was sorry, for the two that was lost that should not have been lost that day, he watched her walk away from, after stating that only to stop at the old tree, that Inuyasha had been pinned to, she fell to her knees in grief, and he had to walk away, to stay would only bring his own pain to light, and he could not do that, he would not face that a least not right now.

 

The next one was the monk, the only one to know them both, almost as long as Inuyasha, the monk had bathed away the blood off his skin, but his robes were a different story, they had only spoken one time since the battle, it had been yesterday, he walked into the clearing by the old well were his woman would cross between this time and her own, he found him sitting with his back to the well, eyes wide open, the smell of their blood was what drew him to the monk that day. Something in the monk's eyes made him, sit next to him, or it was the fact that the monk had reached them both first, the smell of both of their blood were stronger on him, as soon as he sat next to the monk, he stated, “I go to the stream every day and wash my hands, and my face, and yet I still feel cold, because I know no matter how many times I do this their blood still remains on me, this is why I do not wash my robes, that is my punishment, for not saving them, to be reminded everyday, that I was not strong enough to make it them, to help them, and that is why from this day forward I shall fell forever cold.”

 

His next thoughts turned to the demon slayer, she was the only one of them that was unresponsive, three days ago the monk took her to the hut of the old woman, and she had not left or spoke since the battle, for it was her cry, for both of them to look out, that was the last statement she spoke to both of them, her two tailed cat never left her side, she has not eaten or slept for three days, and Koga could feel her death would be the next, in this group. Her last statement was spoken to him as he reached them both, as they lay, “They had no where to run from this cruel world, we all could not protect them both, they were not supposed to-“

 

 

The last of his thoughts, as he left Inuyasha to his search, he thought of the villagers, since they both had been gone there was no more waves and smiles, cause she was gone, the children no longer played threw out the village, the fields, and there was no more laughter from all the little ones, cause he was gone. He walked through the village noticing it's people, held no response, he watched them, as they did their day to day, duties, and yet none of them acknowledged, any of the others, it was like they were waiting to see the both of them, just walk right into the village, as he passed an old women sitting on the porch of her house, she spoke softly, and yet he heard her “Maybe I'll be here, maybe I'll see you around, but that's the way it goes almost doesn't count.”

 

 

He opened his left hand and looked at the object that has caused so much pain, the jewel of four souls glowed brightly in his hands, and he finally knew what to wish for, a blinding light flashed before him, and there she stood, the most powerful priestess ever to have known to exist, she raised her beautiful face to him, “I know what your wish is.” Justifiable anger raced threw him, he yelled his anger at her “Why did you let the chosen heroes, of this jewel suffer this fate, they were all unselfish, Inuyasha loosing both of his loves, Shippo loosing his parents, Miroku loosing his father, and living a cursed life, Sango and her cat living threw the death of her parents, and the truth of her brother killing them all, and her own brothers death, , how could a jewel that was made from purity condone, a evil that has fallen on to it's protectors.” His anger was at the max and he could feel his demon wanting to kill this woman for her, his love, no not just for her but also for both of them.
