Chapter One

It's been a long year sinse you've been gone
I've been alone here, I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe

Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

She confessed that she loved me.

And in return I broke her heart.

True, I had grown fond of her as we spent time together finding the jewel shards. To me that's all it was: fondness. But I never knew until now that it had really been something more, it actually had been love. But now it was too late. After I had told her I didn't love her, she had run to the well and disappeared from my life forever. My regret was so intense, my sorrow so painful, as though I could no longer breathe, no longer think. I needed her by my side. I was a fool to let her go, to think I didn't love her, didn't need her. I tried to follow. I tried! But she had cast a spell to close the gate between our times. I couldn't reach her. I had cried out her name again and again, praying, hoping that she would hear me. But she couldn't. She could no longer hear me crying out that I loved her. If only I had told her when I had the chance. And I have spent the several years waiting for her. Waiting for her to come back to me. Hoping that she would hear me calling to her. But alas, I fear she is gone forever. I will never see my love, my Kagome, again...
