The clear lake danced with a mocking reflection. Funny. In the broken waters, she looked more like the first woman he loved.
Her face burrowed further into his chest. He held her tighter, like he had done many a time before.
Despite how good this felt, it did not feel as good as the first time. The futuristic girl in his arms was no match for the woman in his heart.
He hated himself for still loving that woman.
He hated himself for not loving what truly loved him now.
He hated himself for not letting go of the past.

Second best.
A hindrance to battle.
Her heart.
Denial. These are the things she was, and these are the things she denied. Things she wouldn't allow herself to believe.
The warmth of his chest.
The beauty of the lake.
His heart.
Truth. These were facts; things that she couldn't deny to be true.
Pain.
What she felt when he looked into her eyes and saw someone else. She could never be someone else. She was Kagome. That was all she could ever be. Nothing less. Nothing more.
She wanted more.
She wanted the warmth of his heart; not his chest.
