Kagome's POV-
I sit on a hill about 10 feet away from where Inuyasha and Kikyo are cuddling together. It breaks my heart because I know that at any second she will pull him down to hell with her. Inuyasha doesn't deserve that. Not at all. Tears flow down my face at a steady pace. I'm also sad because even though I wanted Inuyasha to be happy, I wanted him to be happy with me. The pain is unbearable. It feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife over and over again, and the stabber is twisting it. Maybe I wouldn't mind if that happened to me right now.
Take it back, take it all back now
The things I gave
Like the taste of my kiss on your lips
For some odd reason, Inuyasha's ears seem to droop with every tear I shed. He must be able to smell my tears, and hear all the sobs that I'm making. Deciding not to cause him anymore pain, I get up slowly. He was the only one who'd ever kissed me, and I'm going to miss that.
I miss that now
I can't try any harder than I do
All the reasons I gave, excuses I made for you
I'm broken in two
Sighing, I get up slowly and quietly, trying not to disturb the couple that's not too far away. Cringing as I see Inuyasha smile at Kikyo, I turn my head away and try to keep myself from crying. 'He's happy, that's all that matters.' I think to myself, and slowly walk away. 'Yeah, but you didn't expect that you'd be the one heart broken in the end, did you?' my evil side asked me. Wow, I didn't even know I had an evil side.
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
Don't walk away
Suddenly, I trip and fall. Oh yeah, this is just great. I can't even walk by myself without him. No one will catch me when I fall. I need him, otherwise I won't ever be safe or happy again. Picking myself up, I begin to run now. Might as well just go back home. We only need two more slivers of the jewel shard. Those are Koga's. I'm sure Inuyasha and the gang can get those on their own.
Touch me now, how I wanna feel something so real
Please remind me, my love
And take me back
Cause I'm so in love with what we were
I'm not breathing, I'm suffocating without you
Do you feel it too
Tripping again, over a rock this time, I ready myself for a second fall. Surprisingly, it doesn't come. Opening my eyes, I look into his beautiful golden ones.
"Let me go." I say quietly, my energy suddenly leaving me, and my eyes closing again.
"No, you're weak." Inuyasha replied, his hold on me tightening.
"Ya wanna know why I'm weak?" I ask him, just as quiet as before.
"Feh, I don't care." Inuyasha responded.
"Because of you." I tell him, laughing a bit at the end because of how ironic it is.
"Me? What the hell could I do that would make you so weak?" Inuyasha asked, sounding clueless.
"Because you chose Kikyo over me. And I love you and I wanted you to pick me instead." I respond, and begin to have a little trouble breathing because I'm about to cry again.
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
"Oh..." Inuyasha said, trailing off.
"So you did choose Kikyo over me? Put me down. Just put me down." I commanded in a weak anger, tears flowing down my manilla colored cheeks.
"Okay," Inuyasha said gently.
To my surprise, he lay me down on a nearby hill. But he also lay down next to me.
"I want you to go away..." I tell him quietly, "But I also need you to stay. Why did you have to choose her?"
When I'm in the dark and all alone
Dreamin' that you'll walk right through my door
It's then I know my heart is whole
There's a million reasons why I cry
Hold my covers tight and close my eyes
Cause I don't wanna be alone
Inuyasha didn't respond.
"I don't want to be alone." I mumble softly.
"You won't be alone. You'll have Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara." Inuyasha told me.
"It won't be the same without you." I chuckle a bit. It hurts so bad, that I have to laugh to keep myself from crying. 'He's saying goodbye already' is all that I can think.
"So does this mean you're saying goodbye?" I ask him, trying to confirm my suspicions.
Yet again, he doesn't say anything.
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
I need you
"Just tell me all about you before you leave me. Please. Otherwise, I'll be empty and waiting here trying to figure you out. Even though you'll most likely be in hell with Kikyo." I say.
"Yes, I'm saying goodbye." Inuyasha finally responds to my other question.
"Tell me all about you." I demand weakly again, still not reopening my eyes, because I fear that if I do, I will break down crying.
"I don't know that much about me." Inuyasha tells me.
"You're lying." I mutter.
"Fine, I just don't feel like talking about me, okay?" Inuyasha replies in an annoyed voice.
This time, I'm the silent one.
Cause I can't fake
And I can't hate
But it's my heart that's about to break
You're all I need
I'm on my knees
Watch me bleed
Would you listen please
"I can't fake that I don't care that you chose Kikyo and not me. And I can't hate you or Kikyo. But my heart's about to break you know?" I say finally opening my eyes, feeling ten times stronger now. Anger was building up inside of me extremely fast.
Inuyasha looked at me, surprised by my sudden strength and anger.
"SAY SOMETHING!" I yell.
Silence settles over us and we can hear the echo of my angered voice going, "Thing, thing, thing," about five times.
"Like what?" Inuyasha asks me, his eyes looking at me in a worried manner.
"That you didn't choose Kikyo over me. Something reassuring. I'm FREAKING OUT here. I'm going crazy." I reply.
That uncomfortable silence falls over us again.
I give in
I breathe out
I want you
There's no doubt
"I can't. I'd be lying." Inuyasha tells me.
A soft gasp escapes my lips. So he did choose Kikyo over me.
"I'm kinda regretting bringing her back to life for a second time..." I reply and then laugh nervously.
"I'm... I'm sorry." Inuyasha mumbles.
"For what?" I ask.
"For choosing Kikyo over you." Inuyasha replies.
Well, maybe this is just all a dream. I'll wake up at any second and Shippo will ask me what's a matter.
I freak out
I'm left out
Without you
I'm without
"Without you, I'll feel left out. You have my heart Inuyasha, and I only wish that I could have yours." I say, closing my eyes because I feel fresh tears stinging my face.
"We can still be..." Inuyasha began, but I cut him off.
"No. No we can't. I'm going to go back to my time. For good." I respond, as a few tears manage to squeeze out of my eyes.
"But... we still need to get those jewel shards from Koga!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"You and the rest of the group can do that by yourselves." I reply.
"Why? Why are you leaving?" Inuyasha asks.
I cross out
I can't doubt
I cry out
I reach out
"'Cause I'm afraid that if I stay, I'll try to steal you back from Kikyo. And I'll cry a lot. My question is, why did you have to choose her?" I ask, opening my eyes, giving them a pleading look. I want him to stay with me. Fresh, salty tears begin to cascade down my three times tear stained cheeks.
"Goodbye Kagome." Inuyasha said, his eyes looking quite sad, as if he was regretting his decision. Or maybe that was just me hoping.
Not being able to hold it anymore, I pull him into a big hug, and mutter into his shirt, "Don't leave me."
Prying me off him, Inuyasha got up and began to walk away.
Don't walk away
"Come back! Please! Please, don't walk away!" I beg him.
Don't walk away
"Say something! You can't just walk away! PLEASE!" I beg even louder. But he doesn't do anything but keep walking forward.
Don't walk away
"INUYASHA!" I yell, standing up, tears falling down my cheeks like rapids now. He was out of sight now.
Don't walk away
Falling down, I break out in heartbroken sobs. He was gone. "Inuyasha, I love you. Come back. Please. Please don't walk away." I whisper out between sobs, and then begin to cry harder. He walked away.
