Fading into Light
By Sen Taro and Sen Ryoko
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind is blowing
through the trees
As the clouds pass me.

I sat there alone in a tree. I was just resting and thinking of the past as
I did so many times. I want to go back to where it began I want to have my
life back, back before I was betrayed. I want time to change for me... I
close my eyes and listen to the wind.....

The grass is touched
by the gentle breeze.
I close my eyes,
tell me what I see.

I open my eyes and can't believe who stands before me!! This is a dream, it
must be. Why would he come here, alone?

Why did you come here?
It's been so long ago.
I don't know the you
like I knew before.

He isn't the same. He will never be with me. He has someone else.
Everything is so confusing as I recap on the moments before my premature
demise and I used to think it was cause by this lonely guy......

My heart cries out for you.
Not the way it used to.
Your heart is screaming to me
how much I loved you.....

"Inuyasha. I have longed to see you." A tear slips down his cheek. "Kikyo",
he whispers into the wind. I must embrace him. I must let my soul rest with
him. I must take him to hell with me. "Are you ready, Inuyasha?" He looks
at me with the sweetest look. I actually smile. He turns away. "I....
I....." I know what he is trying to say.......

We left it all behind
in a stand still
time has faded into the new
as the night sets the breeze picks up..

"Inuyasha, don't you wish to be with me like it used to be?" I missed him.
I know he misses me. "Kikyo, I can't." "You can't what? Is it her?" I feel
as if he is betraying me again. "I could never replace you Kikyo, but you
are gone now. There is no us." "Inuyasha, please don't say that. There will
always be an us." We sit for a while and watch the stars. I look over and
he is slowly fading. I reach out," INUYASHAAAAA."

When the dawn comes
you vanish with the rising sun
its the same situation
in my dreams. I miss you...

Slowly I rise as the sun touches my face and I realize I was fanticisizing.
He is gone and I realize he won't be back. I wonder when the day will come
when we will be together again.........
