Burned Blinding Desires
It was dark upon midnight as the illuminating light was shinning down upon the face of the earth from the moon. In the distance away from all civilization the wind howled as water fell from the rapid falls. Steam had risen above the sacred grounds. With that a fog was created and emerged over the surrounding area, which could lure and trap unwanted visitors. Suddenly the cry of a wolf was heard in the distance, causing the bathing maiden to jump slightly at the sound. There she was, her rounded yet curvy shaped body mapped out in the springs of the waterfall and moonlight. Sitting near the falls, she leaned against the rocks and closed her icy sapphire blue eyes while letting the water pour onto her soft rose petal skin. She began bathing once more while washing her hair. Soon she started singing a luring melody that caused tears to fall.
EVANESCENCE LYRICS
"Forever Gone, Forever You"
I wanted you to be with me
For so long I don't even know why now
But now that I've given up on you
Defiantly you see me
Walking away I see the pain
You put me through
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone, forever you
There's something very wrong about this
I think you knew all along somehow
You'll only take me to change my mind
And leave me broken and defeated
So far away I see the truth
I see through you
Now that I know the way you play
I don't want to
Walking away I see the pain
You put me through
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone, forever you
End of song…
Hearing the luring melody was spell binding as he suddenly appeared from the shadows. He stood there as he observed the beautiful maiden bathing in the springs. The wind gently swept around him. His long black hair that was tied back and he was dressed in animal fur hides and clothing. His icy blue eyes were so cold that if you were caught gazing into them…there was no promise of salvation neither escaping. He could smell her previously shredded tears. Before he could do anything about, he had found himself already at her side. There he caught her gaze. At first he half expected her to run away, scream, or slap him in the face for intruding while she was bathing. But she did not. Instead she just looked at him with those sad eyes of hers. It looked like she had faced a battle, a battle of the heart and lost completely. No emotion was left in those icy sapphire blue eyes from which he last remembered seeing. Her happy go lucky smile was gone and replaced by a frown. Taking his hands he cupped her face into them.
"Why do you cry? Kagome?" he asked.
"Kouga…don't fret over me, it's nothing." Kagome said.
"It's not nothing, it's got to be something." Kouga said.
Kagome looked up into Kouga's face and smiled weakly.
"It does not matter anymore." Kagome whispered.
"Kagome tell me what is wrong." Kouga persuaded.
"It does not matter anymore, myself included. Something very precious was stolen from me and I cannot get it back. I was used and cast away to the side. Left to die. Left to wander alone in this realm of darkness…" Kagome began.
"Kagome where is this all coming from?" Asked a concerned Kogua.
"Nothing matters anymore…it's better not to fix what is already broken and cannot be put back together." She cried letting the tears fall.
"Kagome whatever it is tell me, you know I cannot bare to see you this way." Kouga said whipping away Kagome's tears. "Don't cry any more for him."
"Sweet Kouga, you were always there for me." Kagome said. "How could I've been so blind? I- I should of seen the truth he was going to decieve me but that was something I didn't want to admit."
"It's something not everyone wishes to face." Kouga simply stated.
"All of this time…I thought it was Inuyasha was the one I love…but I was wrong. He hurt me for the last time and I can no longer forgive him anymore." Kagome said. "Kouga all this time I've felt emotionless but when you're around…I feel whole. Everything just seems right when you're by my side."
Kouga listened to Kagome and felt the pain he once had in his heart slowly fade away.
"Kouga what I'm trying to say is…I can no longer go on living in this world without you. You alone can save me and stop this pain I feel. Only you can save my forsaken soul." Kagome spoke softly.
"Kagome." Kouga breathed absorbing every word pouring from her mouth.
Both were silent for that moment being, then suddenly Kouga embraced Kagome into his arms holding onto her tightly.
"Never again will you need to feel sorrow. Never again will you need to feel the pain and misery my love. I will be there for you always if you allow me to remain by your side. " Kouga said. "I will make your dreams a reality."
"Only you." Kagome whispered. "This will yet become my final fantasy."
Kouga held Kagome with his arms around her waist, while drawing her into a kiss that would take more than a lifetime to forget.
