I'll Remember You
&&&*&&& Kagome's POV &&&*&&&
It's been so long since I've been to the feudal era . . .I wonder what's going on . . .I'm just sitting at my desk, you know. Staring at the stars. I wonder where Sango and Miroku are . . .they said they'd be staying in the village if I ever came back to see them. But one name still lingers in my mind.
. . . InuYasha . . .
I hope he is happy . . .after his decision . . .even though I loved him, I couldn't change his feelings. He would never love me as much as . . .
~* It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
Hoping things will never change
'Cause what we had can't be replaced
Don't let our memories fade away
Keep me in your heart for always
You made me believe that I can do almost anything
Stood right by me, through the tears, through everything *~
Kikyou . . .You know, I should be happy for him. He got what he wanted. What he always wanted. Even when I was there for him. When I was the only one there for him. I wish . . .I really do wish. I wish that he would come back to me. But I know that's just my heart talking. As always. I'm starting college in the U.S. in the fall, so I don't think I'll ever be able to come back to the well again. Grandpa past away a long time ago, around the time that Naraku killed that young miko from the shrine that we fought him at. Her name had been Kimiko. She was such a young girl.
I just look out the window again. Kimiko had been so much like Sarri, the shrine maiden of the shrine located a few miles away from my school. They were so much alike. They had the same fiery red locks that cascaded down their backs, toward their knees. And the same personality. Sarri and Kimiko had young happy spirits. Both of them had loved nature and anything offered. So young and innocent. I hear that Sarri was killed the day of Kimiko's death. She was murdered by a guy named Ryunosuke, or something like that. I miss her. When Grandpa tried to train me as a miko, Sarri told me all about her job as the shrine priestess. I hate the guy that did this to her. She didn't deserve to die. Why did everyone around me get hurt that day? When we were fighting Naraku. And when InuYasha made his final decision about Kikyou.
InuYasha, where ever you are, please give me strength to live on.
~* I'll remember you
And baby, that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought that it would feel like this
I'll be there for you, no matter what you're going through
In my heart you'll always be
Forever baby I'll remember you
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared
The tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky *~
InuYasha, please save me from all this heartache, please. I'm leaving so soon. And mother's in the hospital because she has cancer. And Shouta . . .what am I going to do? I miss you. I need you back with me to keep me strong. But . . .will you hear my cries? Or will you ignore them now that you have what you want? Wasn't all you wanted to be with Kikyou? So I guess I'll just wait until I die waiting. But I only want to know something.
Do you still love me?
Did you ever love me in the first place . . .
I guess you love her more . . .or is it that you loved her first? I'm so
unsure without you, InuYasha . . .
I sit here at my window. Crying at the windowsill . . .until Shouta comes over here and sits down next to me, and hugs my around my neck. He understands. He always does. He understands what I feel right at this moment. The heartache and pain. Shouta looks up at me with those big brown eyes of his, and stares into my dark bluish ones.
"You still love him, don't you?" He asks me.
I simply nod in reply, and pull him closer to me.
"He loves you, you know. I could see it in his eyes last time I saw him. Where is he now?" He says cocking his head to the left innocently.
I stifle a sniff. I can't let him hurt too. "He probably did." I say, and start staring out the window again.
"But where is he?" Shouta asks me again, bouncing up and down on my lap.
I smile lightly. He really cares for InuYasha and me. A lot.
"He's gone for now. InuYasha's gone on a very long trip, Shouta. And I don't know if he'll come back again. Ever." I say, not being able to keep the salty tears from falling this time.
~* It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
even though we go separate ways, in my heart you'll always be,
forever baby, I'll remember you
you made me believe that I can do almost anything
Stood by me, right through all of the tears
Through everything we faced together
I'll remember you, and baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always remember
The one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you
No matter what you're going through
In my heart you'll always be
Forever baby I'll remember you *~
"Oh, come on, Kag! Don't think like that! Of course he'll come back! Just like he always does!" Shouta said, trying to reassure me, but I just kept on sobbing.
"You don't understand, Shouta." I said sniffling. I hated to tell him this. He had always looked up to InuYasha, always thought of him as a role model. "He's gone. And he's not coming back. After the fight with Naraku . . ." I trailed off, not wanting to break the news. That he was gone. Not coming back. I'd never get to say "Sit" again, and I wouldn't be able to see him jump in my window, demanding that we go back to the feudal era. Shouta would never get to play around with InuYasha anymore, or rub his ears. Mom would never scold InuYasha for going through all the cupboards looking for Ramen, or whisper funny little things in his ears. And Grandpa. He'd never gotten to put any of those demon-binding spells on InuYasha before he past away. It just happened so suddenly. And then . . .
"What do you mean that he's gone?" Shouta cried, starting to understand the depth of why I was so upset.
I smiled sadly. "He got what he wanted. Do you remember that girl that I told you about? Kikyou?"
I laughed out loud when he replied, "You mean that dead bitch that always followed you around? But I thought that in the legend, she was taken to Hell!"
I stopped laughing when he said the last part. "No." I told him. "She and InuYa- and the Hanyou decided to go to Hell to be together. She wasn't taken. They chose." At the mention of InuYasha's name rolling off my tongue, I turned away from my younger brother.
"But the legend!" Shouta argued, not about to be beaten by a girl. I smiled inwardly. I wished it was like this always. Shouta and I never talked anymore.
"Okay." I told him, because he was pouting so much. "Tell me this legend."
"I learned it at school!" He smiled a toothy grin that reminded me of Rin. How I missed the feudal era. But how could I go back NOW?
"There once was a Hanyou that would always try to steal this magical jewel called the Shikon No Tama, that a strong miko would protect. The miko, Kikyou, had strong spiritual powers, being able to purify her arrows and the jewel that if was tainted with malice, would destroy all. Kikyou was a kind person, so she would often help those injured. She once helped a man named Onigumo. The man was badly burned, and quickly fell in love with the priestess. Onigumo wanted the jewel that Kikyou protected, so he fed himself to a thousand demons in order to merge with them, and get stronger. Meanwhile, the hanyou had run into Kikyou many times, and slowly began falling in love with her. She said that she felt the same way, and they were happy. Kikyou asked the hanyou to use the Shikon No Tama to become human so that he could settle down with her, since her duties would be over if he were to use the Shikon. So they decided to meet at sunrise in their special meadow, where they were always meeting. The next morning, Kikyou went to the field to wait for him. Onigumo disguised himself as the hanyou, and attacked the shrine maiden, hitting her shoulder. He then took the jewel, and placed it back in the shrine. Kikyou, feeling that her companion had betrayed her, went back to the village as quickly as she could, while the hanyou was in the same predicament. Onigumo then disguised himself as the shrine maiden, and attacked the hanyou, almost hitting him with the sacred arrows. The hanyou quickly ran to the shrine in the middle of the town, killing all of those whom got in his way, and stole the jewel. Outside, the priestess used the last of her strength to pin the hanyou to a tree with her sacred arrow, still believing that he betrayed her. The hanyou dropped the jewel, and fell into a deep slumber that would last him for fifty years. The priestess fell in a large pool of her own blood, requesting that the Shikon No Tama be burned with her body, and past away."
"Shouta, I know that part. Get to the place where I live it." I told my brother impatiently.
~* If the day should come when you need someone
you know that I'll follow
I will be there for you
Don't ever let there be a doubt in your mind
'cause I'll remember you, you . . . *~
Shouta cleared his throat. "As I was saying." I rolled my eyes, and listened intently to the story that he was telling me. I hadn't just heard this story before. I had lived it.
"Fifty years later, the priestess's reincarnation came down a sacred well, the Shikon No Tama inside her body. She reawakens the sleeping hanyou, and he saves her from a demon trying to get the jewel. Many other demons try, and one crow demon gets the jewel, and starts flying away with it. The priestess puts a claw on her arrow, and shoots the crow down. Unfortunately, the arrow shatters the jewel, scattering the pieces all over the land. The reincarnation and hanyou start on a journey to find all the pieces together, and meet more traveling companions. A demon exterminator who lost her whole village to Onigumo's tricks, a lecherous monk, who had a wind tunnel in his hand, a kitsune that lost his parents, a wolf demon who lost his clan to Onigumo's new power and trickery, the hanyou's half brother, lord of the western lands, a young girl named Rin that the hanyou's half brother saved from wolves. Banding together, the group tries to kill Onigumo, now named Naraku. Naraku always seems to slip out of reach, and soon, a witch named Urasuwae stole the dead priestess's ashes, and created a clay version of Kikyou. Kikyou then follows the group around, trying to get the hanyou to go to hell with her. The reincarnation doesn't like this fact, for she and the hanyou were starting to have feelings for one another before the miko came back. Somehow the group defeats Naraku after many hardships, losing the hanyou's half brother, the young girl named Rin, and a girl named Kimiko that helped the group by sacrificing herself for the group's safety from Naraku's evil and hatred."
~* I'll remember you
And baby, that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you
No matter what you're going through
In my heart you'll always be
Forever baby, I'll remember you . . . *~
I stiffled another sob, and Shouta handed me a tissue. This brought so much pain to everyone. If I hadn't come, Sango wouldn't have lost her village, Shippou wouldn't have lost his parents, InuYasha would be content all asleep on the Goshinboku, and Miroku would've managed somehow. Kimiko would be able to stay a shrine maiden. Rin and Sesshoumaru would go back to pestering Jakken and InuYasha. And I would have a normal life. But my life is anything but normal.
Shouta continued. "The night after Naraku's demise, the hanyou made his decision to go to hell with the dead miko. The reincarnation, heartbroken, fled to her home, sealing the portal from which she came. She stayed in her room with her sibling as he told her the legend of the Shikon No Tama. The reincarnation was still in pain, but listened to her younger sibling tell her the story in which she lived. And the reincarnation-." Shouta was cut off when there was a knock at the window, which I had closed and locked only a few minutes earlier. Then a thump.
I 'eeped' in surprise.
My deep blue eyes met a set of pained amber ones.
"You weren't supposed to come back."
