Can I make believe if only for this moment, that I could tell you what I felt without any words? Could you feel my love for you in the reflection in my eyes?
My limbs tingle with a warming buzz as I dance a morbid tango with evil itself. Unable to move, but then again that was my plan.
Would you be mad to know, that I had no hesitation? I know you would, you always thought me foolish.
I struggle to hold my small smile as unwanted tears blurr my fading vision. Thanking the kami as my head leans against his shoulder. How happy I am to see you all and know you will be safe.
There was never any doubt. I loved you all, my dearest friends and I would give anything for your happiness.
I can't help the small whimper that accompanied my tears, this insinerating heat that turned him to ashes taking me with it as well.
I loved you most though. Regardless of your feelings, I couldn't seem to keep my heart from building a shrine for you.
A calmness takes over as my mind replays my most precious memories. Of them...of you. I can't cry any longer my happiness for you and our friends ease away the pain of leaving.
You all have lost so much. Family, friends...lovers. I want to make it better, to heal your pain. Now it's my turn to lose something.
My heart aches for you as I see you scream, reading my name upon your lips. The wails and tears of my dear friends. Please don't cry, I can't stand the tears. Smile for me?...I don't have much longer.
I think...deep down I always knew how this would end. How could it not? From the very moment I met you...I loved you...I only ever wanted to make you smile.
I feel our bodies fading away into this brilliant pink light as the jewel burns away the evil that was our foe. I'm not scared anymore though, I promise. I can't help but smile as I whisper my last words.
"I'll always be by your side...Inuyasha."
