Title: Undertow

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. The song is Numb by Linkin Park.

Summary: (Inu/Kag.) She was empty. She was a void. Naraku's dead, but his effect on the pair will last forever. One-shot.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

feeling so faithless

lost under the surface

I don't know what you're expecting of me

put under the pressure

of walking in your shoes

caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow

every step that I take is another mistake to you

She looked out to the openness of the ocean.

It's usually calm waters were thrashing around in a rage similar to how she felt.

But I know

I may end up failing too

but I know

you were just like me

with someone disappointed in you

The rain screamed down in torrents down, soaking her to the bone. She lost all sadness, all rage, and feeling.

She was empty.

She was a void.

Caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow

every step that I take is another mistake to you

caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow

and every second I waste is more than I can take

The world, the storm, went on around her while she stood motionless in the middle.

Her eyes, once so bright and full of energy were lifeless and cold.

Her thoughts stopped; the tears that before threatened to fall over were gone.

She was numb.

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

become so tired

so much more aware

I'm becoming this

all I want to do

is be more like me

and be less like you

And in that instant, she lost control. She lost control of her mind, her body, but most importantly, her will to live. And her body crumbled, and fell over the cliff with not one thought, not one hesitation, not one regret…and the water condemned her and consumed her.

…...

…...

Far away, a heartbroken, self-hating, self-pitying hanyou couldn't stop the flow of his tears from coming for the second time in his life. He let out a horrible howl that conveyed all his sadness, pain, and anger; anger at her for leaving him, anger at Naraku for causing her to feel pain, and anger at himself for not saving her.

Can't you see that you're smothering me

holding too tightly

afraid to lose control

cause everything that you thought I would be

has fallen apart right in front of you
