Watching

The next morning, Yusuke awoke to the sound of someone knocking on the window.
Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei were still asleep. "Botan?" asked Yusuke, as he yawned. He kicked
Kuwabara awake, and the three of them walked into a different room to talk.
"There's another mission." stated Botan.
"Not now!" cried Kuwabara.
"Yea, the two in the living room are in no shape to do anything." added Yusuke, as Botan
gave an understanding nod.
"But this is really important." argued Botan after a while. "Let's ask them first." The
three nodded, and walked back into the living room, only to find that the two were no longer
there.

~Kurama's POV~

I silently walked along the beach side, and tried to calm myself down. Kagome's gone,
and there isn't anything worthwhile to do anymore. I gazed into the open ocean, so calm and
beautiful.

Was leaving really cruel?
Or gentleness the real heartless one?
Or are lonely people careless?
No day, no night, no desire.

~Kagome's POV~

I quickly ran into my room, and hoped with all my luck, that Kurama had the necklace
with him. I chanted something, and my mirror showed me the image of Kurama near the ocean.
Good, he has the necklace with him. I really want to tell you that I'm fine, and all, but I can't. I
felt my eyes watering at the depressed look on Kurama's face.
"Kurama, only if you knew. But it's better this way." I murmured.

Is there danger ahead?
Or betrayal really considerate?
Or shouldn't escape be easy?
Words flee with the sand.

~Kurama's POV~

Kagome, did you know this was going to happen? You kept making me promise that no
matter what I'll be happy, and live on. Why was I so stupid, as to not notice? I clenched my fists,
and my heart burned with loss. "Kagome, why did you leave me?"

A step forward is dusk.
A step backward is life.
The wind isn't calm, waves aren't still.
The heart unbalanced, nowhere to escape.

Haven't you understood that I can't live without you? I had never felt this way toward
anyone before! I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall, and collapsed on the sandy beach.
The sound of waves crashing reached my ears.

The boat I await has not arrived.
The person I await has not understood.
Loneliness sinks into the ocean.
Even if the future isn't here, I still am.

~Kagome's POV~

Kurama, I do understand. I feel exactly the same way as you do, if not worse. I felt more
tears drop, as I clenched my fists even tighter. Stupid rules! I would rather not be a goddess at all,
if it meant I could spend my life with you. "Why is love so painful and unfair?"

When the tide goes, the heart will follow.
When the tide comes, you still haven't returned.
The past will float to the surface.
When memories come, you are already gone.

Kurama, remember the promise you made me. Don't ever break that. You will always be
in my heart, no matter what. I should never have fell in love in the first place. Maybe than it
would have been easier on both of us.

A wave unconquered, a wave once more attacking.
The vast ocean, always in storm.
A wave too late, a wave already passed.
Life has just awaken.
Deep Pacific Ocean, deep heartbreak.

~Kurama's POV~

"Hey, your cute." cooed a bunch of girls, as I walked away. "Hey, where are you going?"
I didn't pay attention to them, as I gazed at all the couples. Why can everyone else have
happiness, when mine was brutally ripped from me?

Was leaving really cruel?
Or gentleness the real heartless one?
Or are lonely people careless?
No day, no night, no desire.

After so many centuries of living, I had finally opened up myself, and truly loved
someone, only to wake up to find it all gone. Was this all a dream? Maybe these never happened?
I should never had fell in love. There is only myself to blame.

Is there danger ahead?
Or betrayal really considerate?
Or shouldn't escape be easy?
Words flee with the sand.

I have to get out of this depressed stage. But it's so hard. As soon as I try to forget, the
image of Kagome pops up in my head. I looked into the deep ocean, and sighed a frustrated sigh.
Life was much easier when I didn't care about anything.

A step forward is dusk.
A step backward is life.
The wind isn't calm, waves aren't still.
The heart unbalanced, nowhere to escape.

~Kagome's POV~

"What are you looking at?" asked Kanna, as she Kagome stared into mirror. "Isn't that
Kurama?"
"Yes." replied Kagome.
"Now I really don't want to go to earth." stated Kanna.

The boat I await has not arrived.
The person I await has not understood.
Loneliness sinks into the ocean.
Even if the future isn't here, I still am.

Happiness isn't real. I don't want to join the mating ceremony! The objects in my room
cracked, as my power clashed with everything. In a few seconds, my room was a total mess.
Kanna gasped, and quickly ran out of my room.

When the tide goes, the heart will follow.
When the tide comes, you still haven't returned.
The past will float to the surface.
When memories come, you are already gone.

I watched all the happy couples on the beach, and felt a pang of jealousy. The humans are
so lucky. Able to enjoy the freedom of love. We might be goddesses, but are bound to many
rules. It just isn't fair!

A wave unconquered, a wave once more attacking.
The vast ocean, always in storm.
A wave too late, a wave already passed.
Life has just awaken.
Deep Pacific Ocean, deep heartbreak.

~Kurama's POV~

What's worse is I'm bound to my word. I have to live a happy life, and I will keep that
promise. After today, I will start over again. I will never fall in love, Kagome will be the only one
I ever love, forever.

A wave unconquered, a wave once more attacking.
The vast ocean, always in storm.
A wave too late, a wave already passed.
Life has just awaken.
Deep Pacific Ocean, deep heartbreak.
Deep Pacific Ocean, deep heartbreak.

~Meanwhile, at a deserted part of the beach~
~Hiei's POV~

Wench, where are you? I know your to stubborn to die. I gazed at the setting sun and the
blue ocean, standing on a large boulder. Your not dead. I know your not! "You bitch! Quite
playing games!"

Let me sing you a song.
Sing my true feelings for you.
Maybe this is the last time I will ever see you.

~Sango's POV~

Wench? Wench? How dare he? You insensitive, egoistical, uncaring, selfish jerk! I'm here
depressed, and your calling me names? Why you, if I was there, I would beat the pulp out of
you! And Kagome says you would be sad, humph.

Leaving wasn't something I wanted to do.
Saying good-bye is something no one wants.
Let me loudly scream that I love you.

~Hiei's POV~

She's really gone. Who am I to bicker with now? I raised my fists, and shattered the boulder to
pieces, and creating a large crater at the same time. "Why were you so stupid, as to get yourself
run over?" I demanded angrily.

I blame myself, not daring to say my secret.
After I lost you, do I realize that you are precious.
I really want you, is it to late?
I'm willing to use everything to trade you back.

I should never had put my guard down. What is this strange feeling of emptiness inside me?
Stupid, weak, human emotions. How did I get myself tangled into this in the first place? "Bitch,
this is all your fault!"

I'm willing to stay by your side for eternity.
If you are willing, I am willing.

~Sango's POV~

Stupid bastard, and I actually feel sadness. "I should never have opened my heart to you. It's
so painful."
"What is?" asked Rin, as she popped into my room. "Wow, Hiei looks angry and sad."
"What?" I asked, confused. "He's been cursing me for hours."
"That means he cares for you." replied Rin. "Sango-nee-chan, Rin think your grief has clouded
your judgement."

Let me sing you a song.
Sing my true feeling for you.
Maybe this is the last time I will ever see you.

"So, does he really care for me?" I whispered quietly.
"Of course. He isn't the type to say it straight out. Rin can feel it though his actions, and his
words." added Rin. "You really didn't want to come back, did you?"
"What are you saying?" I asked, as I turned away. But I knew what Rin said was true. I felt so
much happiness when I was arguing with that bastard!

Leaving wasn't something I wanted to do.
Saying good-bye is something no one wants.
Let my loudly scream that I love you.

"I never even got the chance to tell him that I loved him." I whispered, in a cracking voice.
"Rin heard mama say there are regrets for everyone. Sango-nee-chan shouldn't take everything
to heart. It will break you." cried Rin, as tears dropped. I quickly wiped the tears away, and
reassured her that I was fine.
"Maybe Hiei and I will be able to meet again, one day." I stated, trying to sound cheerful, but
failed horribly.

I blame myself, not daring to say my secret.
After I lost you, do I realize that you are precious.
I really want you, is it to late.
I'm willing to use everything to trade you back.

"Sango-onee-chan." cried Mayu. "I was watching Kagome-onee-chan, and she's cracking up. I
don't think this is healthy for her. You don't look to well yourself."
"I'm fine." I replied. It just that my heart hurts so much. It feels as if it's going to shatterany
second. "Why don't you go outside and play? I want some time alone." My sisters nodded, and
scrambled out.

I'm really willing to stay by your side for eternity.
If you are willing, I am willing.

~Hiei's POV~

I took out the necklace Sango gave me, and looked at it. How can such a little item bring up
so much painful memories? I promised her I would not fall into depression, though I didn't really
promise that out loud.

I really want you, is it to late.
I'm willing to use everything to trade you back.
I'm really willing to stay by your side for eternity.
If you are willing, I am willing.

After staring at the jewel for another few minutes, I brought my hand back, and tossed it into
the ocean, as far as I could. I watched it sink into the deep ocean below, and then turned and left.
No more of this pain. This is the past, and I am starting over again. I am never falling in love
again.

I really want you, is it to late.
I'm willing to use everything to trade you back.
I'm really willing to stay by your side for eternity.
If you are willing, I am willing.

(Sang by Richie Ren. I translated this into English, so it's kinda crappy, but bare with it, okay?)

~Sango's POV~

"IDIOT! WHY DID YOU THROW THAT AWAY!" I yelled, when my mirror suddenly
turned back to my reflection.
"Sango, what's wrong?" asked a tear-stained Kagome, as she rushed in. Kanna, Rin, and
Mayu rushed in a second later.
"That bastard tossed the necklace into the sea." I replied.
"Not surprised." added Kagome. "This is Hiei we're talking about. He doesn't like to feel
weak, and that necklace brings him painful memories."
"What painful memories?" asked a voice at the door.
"Ah!" I screamed. "Don't do that!"
"What are you doing here?" demanded Kagome, as she wiped away the tears.
"What does it look like?" asked the guy at the door. "I'm your body guard, and you just
screamed. I thought you were in danger."
"He has a point." I stated, as I stood up.
"Who are you helping anyway?" asked Kagome, as she frowned. "Kuronue, can you take
Kanna, Rin, and Mayu outside? I want to speak to Sango alone."
"I'm not a babysitter." stated Kuronue firmly.
"Please?" Kagome begged, as he sighed and nodded his head.

~Yusuke's POV~

I looked everywhere, but with no luck. I quickly ran back to the house, and burst through
the door. "Kuwabara, did Hiei and Kurama come back?"
"Nope." replied Kuwabara, as I took a seat.
"Okay, when we do find them, remember not to mention the name Sango to Hiei and the
name Kagome to Kurama."I stated firmly.
"Right." replied Kuwabara. "Sango, don't mention the name Sango to the shrimp. But why
can't I mention the name Sango? I mean, what's so scary about the name Sango? I know lots of
people named Sango. Fine, fine, I won't mention Sango." stated Kuwabara, as Yusuke raised his
fists.
"You idiot!" snarled Hiei. "You just said you wouldn't say the name, and you just said it six
times."
"Kuwabara, and you were saying? You need to get your eyes checked." I yelled, as I
whacked him across the head. "We'll take you to see the eye doctor later. Hiei, where's
Kurama?"
"Kurama can take care of himself." snorted Hiei.

~Kurama's POV~

I was walking down the alleyway, trying to hide all my depression before I met my
mother. "Kurama, where do you think your going?" asked a voice from behind me, as he grabbed
my shoulders. I spun around, and came face to face with Karasu.
"How are you still alive?" I murmured, as fear crept up inside me. I don't have the potion
to turn me into Youko.
"I was revived, by the goddess of hated, Kikyou." replied Karasu calmly. The goddess of
hatred? What does Karasu want?
"Me?" asked Karasu, as if reading my mind. "Want you." I started backing up, as I pulled
a rose from my hair. It doesn't matter if I die, that way, I'll be able to finally erase all this pain.
But I have a feeling Karasu is going to want more than just death from me.

~Kagome's POV~

"Kuronue, do you have to follow me every step?" I demanded.
"Well, you were the one who saved me from going to hell. So I was assigned to protect you
always, and the ceremony is coming closer, and demons are arriving. This could prove to be
dangerous, so I have to follow your every step."
"What about Sango?" I asked.
"You know very well that Akume is her body guard. He'll protect her with his life, like I will
with you." replied Kuronue. "I do hope you get a good match."
"Right, you don't happen to have a cure for a headache, do you?" I asked hopefully.
"You're a goddess, why would you have a headache?" asked Kuronue curiously.
"Never mind. I kinda guessed you would give me that answer." I added, as I walked though
the gardens.
"Kagome." snarled Kikyou, as she stomped up to me. "What a pleasure to meet you here."
"I agree." I replied. "Where's your body guard? Don't you know how dangerous it is
without one at a time like this? Wait, you want to get raped, don't you? That's why you don't
have him with you, or is it he doesn't obey you?"
"Bitch!" yelled Kikyou, as her anger flared. I stood unaffected.
"You will show her highness proper respect." snarled Kuronue, as he prepared to beat
Kikyou up. I stopped Kuronue.
"She's mine." I stated calmly. Now I have something to vent my anger on. I gave a
wicked grin, as I cracked my knuckles. I am gonna have one hell of a good time beating up
Kikyou.
