Okay, another songfic! This one, the song is "All I Need" by Within Temptation.
The pairing is Sesshoumaru/Kagome, with Sesshoumaru being a little OOC and Kagome being a youkai. Don't like it, don't read and/or flame *shrugs*
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or 'All I Need'. I'm not that talented.
The girl stood on the cliff by the coast, her long black hair whipping around her face as she sang softly to herself. Her voice was light and beautiful, drifting on the breeze.
"I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust now I'm surely trying
To turn it around
Can you still see?
The heart of me
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now
Don't let it close…"
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she remembered her love, when she had last seen him…
"I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning around…"
A sob caught in her throat, but she kept singing anyway, her voice unaffected by her tears.
"Can you still see?
The heart of me
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place…"
Her voice grew stronger, her tears giving way to the irrational anger she felt at him having left her alone in this world that wasn't hers.
"I've tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away
Don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down…"
Her anger faded, and her tears returned although she continued to sing determinedly.
"Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place…"
The girl sank to her knees as she finished singing, her arms wrapped around her chest as she sobbed quietly. If only he was here…with his arms around her she could feel no pain, just happiness and completion. She could almost imagine him there, warm arms around her both comfortingly and possessively, while his silvery hair fell over her shoulder and his warm breath tickled her ear when he whispered her name. She could almost hear him berating her in his own fashion for crying over him…
"Kagome," a familiar voice said softly, and with a start she realised someone actually was holding her. "Kagome?"
"Se-Sesshoumaru?" she managed, her bottom lip trembling. Sword-calloused but gentle and elegant hands tugged her into a standing position, and she was turned to look into a pair of familiar golden eyes. Her own slit-pupil, cerulean-blue orbs widened, and his lips twitched into the small smile he only ever bestowed upon her.
Despite his seemingly-healthy state, his clothes were torn, dirty and bloodstained. Kagome had never seen him in such a state, and she had known him for almost eighteen years now.
The inuyoukai's hand rose and his thumb tenderly wiped away her tears.
"Why are you crying, little miko youkai?" he asked in his deep, smooth baritone, and Kagome gave a watery smile as she wiped her eyes automatically.
"I'm not," she sniffed. Sesshoumaru's smile widened only slightly before he tugged her into his arms and pressed his face into her hair. "I missed you so much," she whispered in a tiny voice. Sesshoumaru held her tighter for a moment, then pulled away to grasp her chin lightly and lift her face to his.
"You waited for this Sesshoumaru." There was a slight amount of incredulity in his tone, and Kagome nodded with a small smile.
"Of course. I'll always wait for you," she admitted quietly, her eyes trailing over his features. "You are my mate, and nothing can change that." Even though she had thought him dead…
"Kagome…" Sesshoumaru's voice trailed off as he struggled to identify the emotion her words had evoked in him, but then he decided it wasn't important and wrapped one arm around her waist to pull her closer. "Kagome."
Before the girl could react, Sesshoumaru's lips were on hers and after a moment of surprise she responded passionately.
He was all she needed…
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace…
