It'll help me wid my writing too. The more reviews, good or bad-- good i hope, the faster i'll post up my next story...
Disclaimer- I do not owe Inuyasha, never did, never will. So don't even think about sueing me. Well, i guess you could but u'd only get...uh...let's see...exactly $1.59 and my red scrunchie, so its not worth the time.
'Inuyasha!'
Who...who is that? That voice? It's so...familier.
'Inuyasha!'
'Who are you!?' cried Inuyasha, frantic to know who was calling his name.
'Inuyasha!'
There! There she is! Far in the distance, he could make out a figure. It was too far to see anything except a sillouhette of a slender, young girl. She seemed to be the same age as Inuyasha.
'Do I...know you?' asked Inuyasha, suprised by the resemblance of this girl to someone else he once knew.
'Inuyasha. Why don't you talk to me anymore? Why? Did you lie when you said you loved me five years ago? ' she cried.
'No...it's not true. I meant everything I said. I...I swear! Believe me!'
The girl stood there, not moving, nor responding. She was starting to get fuzzy in the darkness. A small clear, drop fell off her cheek.
'No..don't cry...' whispered Inuyasha, stretching a trembling hand towards her.
'Inuyasha...how could you forget me? Was I...was I so unimportant to you?' she spoke, her voice breaking.
'No! It's not like that!' he cried out. She began to fade...first an arm disappearing into the darkness, then a leg...her whole body was melting into the shadows. 'Please wait!' He began running towards her, sprinting as fast as he could. But no matter how fast he ran, she continued to fade.
'Don't forget me...Inuyasha. Remember my words, for they were true.' The girl disappeared completely, her body becoming one with the darkness.
'Noooo! WAAAIIITTT!'
Inuyasha sprang up in his bed, drenched in a thin layer of persperation. It was....only a dream. After a few moments, he lay back down.
It was a while before he fell asleep again.
It's been five years now...
Five years without her, creating an emptiness in his heart that grew with each passing day. She had left that day, disappearing through the thick snow, supposedly to return. Although it had been five years, he could still paint a mental picture of her—raven black hair, as dark as the shadows floating across his room; smooth skin, with the paleness of the pearls; eyes, brown and piercing as she looked at you. But for every image that he recalled, he could remember nothing else. And, yes, even her name was lost to him.
He sighed and opened his eyes. He was still here, on his bed, facing the ceiling with blank and lonely brown eyes. Since she had left, he felt like his heart had been torn from his body and taken from him; and the girl was unwilling to return it. After her departure, he had moved into a mansion one block down. Every night he would be in his room, thinking about her, waiting for her to return.
He strode quietly to his window, pulling back the silk drapery, peering into the dark, rainy night. As he fingered his long strands of black hair, he asked out loud, as if his questions could be answered,
"Where are you? How could you leave me like this? Do I mean nothing to you now? Do you...do you not love me anymore?"
----Flashback----
It was the middle of winter; Inuyasha was strolling along, thinking nothing, as always. Suddenly, he saw a figure stumble and fall. Racing to the girl, he recognized her.
'What...what are you doing here at this time of night?' asked Inuyasha worriedly. 'You'll catch a cold. Come on, I'll take you back.' He pulled her up and gave her a reassuring smile. 'Come ON! You're going to get sick. I still have to see you tomorrow at school don't I?'
'Inu-yasha," she whispered, tears glowing upon her pale face, illuminated within the darkness.
'Why are you crying? What's wrong?' asked Inuyasha quietly. 'It's okay. It's just me. You can tell me.'
'Inuyasha...'she repeated again.
'Yes...?'
''I...I'm so sorry. I'm leaving. I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't be going to this school. And I...I won't be able to see...' she looked up with longing eyes, 'you.'
'Why? I thought you loved me! I thought you'd always stay with me. I thought...'
'It's true. I love you more than anything. But you have to forgive me. I'm not leaving for my sake. It's my mother. She's getting a job transfer. We're going to move to Kyoto, hopefully not for to long,' she said slowly, forcing a half smile. 'If we don't, I don't know what would happen to us.'
'You don't need to tell me anymore. Just go. But remember-- no matter how long you're gone, I'll always stay here in Tokyo and wait for you.'
She smiled. Her eyes brimmed with tears, full of sadness. And love.
She ran over and threw her arms around his neck; he put his arms around her waist, pulling her in. They found each other's lips and they kissed. Time stood still for a moment as they shared that one last kiss, neither one wishing to pull away. Snow drifted around them, propelled by the wind into small circles of flurries. They stood inside that small hurricane of snow, sharing their last, bittersweet moment.
'I love you Inuyasha' she whispered through the kiss, 'I promise you I'll come back.'
'I love you too,' Inuyasha murmured back, 'come back soon...'
'I will.' And with that, she left through the swirling snow.
