One shot or short story idea...
Kagome's thoughts on a certain hanyou.
Thinking about how she can't seem to stay away.
Always.
The leaves have begun to change and the air is becoming crisper everyday. Green turns to gold, orange and red, splattering the forests with their brilliant display of hues.
You're only a few feet ahead of me, your red haori acting like camouflage, but that shimmering silver hair is a dead give-away. Everything is so familiar to me, from the way you walk with your hands in your sleeves to that ever present scoff.
It's been a year since we met, Inuyasha.
A year since I first saw you pinned to the God Tree. A year since I shattered the Shikon no Tama. Has it been a year since I fell in love with you, or did that happened further along our seemingly endless journey? I'm not quite sure, but I know that since I met you, my entire life has been knocked off its axis.
I see my family less and less as we travel further and further away from the well in search of the shards. I've long abandoned any hopes of doing well in school. I only study to try and convince myself that I still I still have a life, that I'm normal. After all, school is something that every normal girl should worry about. Still, I don't think that being about to travel back into Feudal Japan and fighting demons the size of houses would be considered normal.
I'm constantly juggling my two lives, trying to fit in some time at home every now and then.
Home...
Sometimes I wonder where home is for me. I've spent so much time here, that I don't know if I could ever go back to living the way I had before I'd met you. No...my home is where you are.
I think that's why I'm so envious of Kikyo. No matter how much I devoted myself to you, you would always run to her side. You always will run to her.
You love her and knowing that hurts more than anything else.
I told you that day at the well, when I came back after seeing you with Kikyo again, that although we both share the same soul we are two different people. I still wonder if you see that now. I also told you that I would stay with you for as long you wished. It was a lie.
I'll always stay with you. I couldn't leave you if I wanted.
Even though you've broken my heart, and made sure that I could never love another person, I will always stay by your side.
Because I love you.
But that's why my heart shatters every time that I see you with her. You're always so gentle with her, showing her a side of you that you never show me. You yell at me, call me names and drag me away from everything that I know. But for her, you're willing to follow her to hell. You claim you owe her your life. But it's she that owes you her heart.
Even after all she's done to you, even though she's tried to kill you, you're so faithful to her. You have no reason to be guilty.
I wonder why I am always drawn back here. Why I can't seem to stay away. Would it have been better if I had never met you, any of you? Perhaps, but...I'm glad I did. I'm glad I met my adopted son, Shippo, Sango, my shy and grave friend. Heck I'm even glad that I met Miroku, that perverted monk of ours, who underneath, is caring and wise.
I'm glad that I met you Inuyasha. I'm glad that I love you.
I've always come because I can't bear to be away from the people that I'vecome to love.
"Oi, wench! You falling asleep on me?"
I can't help but laugh softly.
My brash, kind Inuyasha. You who is the saddest of all of us.
"Hurry up!"
So, here I am running after you again, following you to only God knows where.
As I always will.
What can I say, I was bored. Hope you enjoyed.
