Prologue:
It's been seventeen years now since that tragic day in Inuyasha's life. Seventeen years since Kagome decided that she wouldn't return; seventeen years since Inuyasha lost the chance to admit his feelings for Kagome.
~ Flashback~
Kagome raced up the hill, doing her best to reach the hanyou. He had to know the truth, and why she was leaving. She wanted to stay with him, and love him. But after seeing him with Kikyo, and their farewell, she didn't know if he could be trusted any longer. As she reached the top of the hill, a small blur could be noticed in the tree. "This tree, the one where Inuyasha was bound to by Kikyo's arrow. It was here that our adventure began, and here that it will end." She walked forward and placed her hand carefully on the bark of the tree. "It holds so many memories." "Then why leave?"
Kagome quickly glanced up, hearing Inuyasha's sorrowful voice. Her eyes instantly narrowed, a flicker of pain seen every so often. The hanyou's body dropped to the earth, landing carelessly onto the ground. The girl snapped up straight, trying to hold back the tears that were dying to come out. "That should be a question that you of all people would know."
~End of Flashback~
That day still haunts the hanyou, in his sleep, and when he's awake. He's tried so hard to put it behind him, but it's almost impossible to forget the one you loved with all of your heart. Kagome was his life, and his purpose for living. But all of that was tossed out of the window when Kagome had come to her decision.
~Flashback~
The hanyou's ears perked up from her firm voice. "What do you mean I should know? Kagome, what the hell are you talking about?" "Inuyasha, you belong with her. I see the look in your eyes when your around her. All you ever think about is her, no matter what I do. Simply, I don't belong here. I don't have a place, and this isn't even my time." The hanyou's amber eyes were gazing in sheer shock from her words. They were piercing through his chest like a sacred arrow, hitting his heart deeper and deeper. His body slowly moved backwards, taking a stumbling step from her harsh words.
"Inuyasha, I no longer wish to be here. I'm chasing after someone I can't have, so what's the use? I want to say goodbye, for good." Her chocolate brown orbs watched every emotion that rolled over his face. It tore her apart, but she knew it was for the best. Placing her hand at her chest, she took a deep breath and smiled weakly.
"I'll never forget you though, and everything we've been through." She raised her hand to touch him, but he moved from her reach. All she saw in his eyes were pain. "Inuyasha, I hope you understand what I'm saying?" Letting out a heavy sigh, she lowered her head, gazing at the ground. "I guess this is goodbye then?" She lifted her head once more, hoping he was going to at least say something. "Well then, goodbye." Because he didn't say a word, flinch a muscle, or anything, she simply turned away as a tear rolled down her cheek. Walking away from him, she took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and ran. She ran fast, far, away from him, this era, and back to her true home.
"You don't have a place... you're chasing after someone you can't have... what the hell is that?! KAGOME!!!" Shaking his head fiercely, he turned towards the well and was off. His body glided through trees, bushes, and whatever obstacle stood in his way. The on looking demons that were lingering about quivered in fear as they saw the look of fury, and pain in his eyes. The recoiled back into the forest, sending out the call of the demons to notify others not to touch the hanyou.
"Damn it... she has a place, in my heart!! You hear that Kagome?!!" He came to an abrupt stop at the well's edge. The miko reincarnation was no where in sight. She was gone, through the well, to never return. The dark abyss was sealed off, allowing no one to enter. He couldn't follow her, he couldn't tell her to stay. He could barely breath as his eyes watched the emptiness before him. Nothing but sheer darkness was there, pain, and the faint scent of the one he loved with all of his being.
"Kagome!! Why... damn you!! I-" Dropping to his knees, his fist pounded into the side of the well, warms tears of anger flowing down his cheeks. His silver hair draped over his shoulder as the whole era witnessed his pain. He would never be the same after this day... constantly mourning for her lost, beating himself up inside for not saying a word to her. She was gone, to never return. The only left to accompany him, the half-dead miko, Kikyo- whom he had grown to despise. How could you spend your life with someone you hated? He couldn't, and he refused to. Living alone was better than sharing it with the bitch.
Lifting his head, his amber eyes gazed at the sky. Taking in a deep breath, he fill his lungs with what remained of her scent. He wouldn't forget that smell... never.
~End of Flashback~
If it weren't for Kikyo, she'd still probably be here, with him, in his arms enjoying the warmth given off from his body. Because of Kikyo, Inuyasha had lost her. Because of Kikyo, Inuyasha's life was shattered into a million pieces that couldn't be put back together.
And now, as a result, he was alone; all alone. Before Kagome and he had gotten into this predicament, Sango and Miroku had fled. They finally realized their true feelings for one another, and decided to reside in a peaceful village where they could raise their child. It was hard saying goodbyes, but they managed. Shippou had followed too. Even though he cared deeply about Kagome, he hated to be stuck in the middle of their arguments. He had decided that it was time for a farewell too, and with that he left with the new couple.
Nothing has been the same since then. Well for one thing, the jewel was completed, and is now in the care of Kaede. Since the completion of the Shikkon No Tama, many demons had given up hope on trying to steal it. Inuyasha no longer had to put up with unwanted guests at the shrine where the jewel dwelled. Now, even seventeen years later, all he did was mourn for the loss of his true love. His heart still ached with such pain that not a single word could describe it. He's learned to cope with it somewhat, but still many things bring back painful memories.
As for Kagome, she hasn't forgotten entirely about Inuyasha. It's just that now, he's only a recollection that lingers in the back of her mind. She had always dreamed of the life she could've shared with Inuyasha, if he didn't have Kikyo. It was because of that semi-alive priestess that she decided to return and permanently remain in her own era. Because of that woman, she had lost all hopes for her and Inuyasha. That's when she came to the conclusion that there wasn't enough room in Inuyasha's heart for her. So, she decided to let him go, and find another. Letting him go was the hardest task in her life, and the memories of his expression still cloud her mind.
But, because of the new love she found, Hojo, she was able to put that behind her, and start fresh. Now, in Modern day Tokyo, she has a wonderful life. After a few extra years in school, she was able to graduate highschool and get her diploma. She attended college in the US at Yale University, and graduated with her degree in the medical field, something she had always longed to do. As a result, she's a part time nurse, considering that she has an extra member to her family. Fifteen years ago, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Kairi. Kairi has the same spunk and personality of her mother, and innocence of her father. Her beauty is also a trait she received from her mother. The gift of beauty seemed to run in her family from generation to generation.
Even though Kagome leads the life she had always wanted, not a day passes that she doesn't think a little about her old love. No matter what she does, or tries, he will always remain in a small portion of her heart.
A/N: Hey there!! I know it was kinda sad, but this idea fluttered into my head, so I decided to use it. Don't worry, Inuyasha is not going to be alone. Someone from the present is going to come, although it's not Kagome... leaves you with some thoughts eh? The next chapter is called, "The Wish of a Fairytale." I hope you guys liked this chapter, and hopefully you will keep reading it as I go along. Please review, and tell me what you think!!! Arigato!! Have a great day, and as the kitty would say, make it a purrrr-fect day!! *hehe*
