this is a one shot. I do not own Inuyasha. But Akari is all mine. :) I hope you enjoy. As always, R&R
I remember feeling pain and joy. I had been waiting for this day for so long. And, now it was here. The day of the beginning of my family with Inuyasha. I was scared of course, but he was there the whole time holding my hand. He never let go. Not once. I remember hearing a babies cry. Then black. I remember the bright sunshine of dawn as I hold my child. I remember wet, salty tears streaming down his face.I remember his voice pleading for me not to go. I remember fading into darkness cold and fear. Then I felt it. A small ray of hope. In the form of light and laughter. It pulled me towards it. Getting brighter and brighter. I feel a warmth envelope me as I look into the light. I see a face. It is a smiling face. It looks like him. The man I married. The man I loved. It looks like him, but has my smile. It is a child. they reach out to me. I take their hand and feel their everlasting love and strength. I hear a voice telling me I can't give in. I grasp the child's hand harder and am pulled from the darkness.
I feel his tears. They splash on my cheeks like rain. I realize he is crying. I reach up and wipe his tears. Clearing his eyes of sorrow. He looked at me and new tears form in his eyes. Tears of joy and happiness. I feel him embrace me and I feel his love for me, and the fear that I was gone forever. He releases me and then he kisses me passionately. When we part, He turns around and picks up something. He turns back to me and shows me. It is a sleeping child With wispy white hair and little dog ears. When I take the child it opens it's eyes and stares at me with those deep brown eyes. The child then smiles and I feel so happy.
My life has always been filled with joy and sorrow coexisting in our ever growing war. But our child is unaffected by that swirl of emotion. The child Is still innocent and pure. Filled with happiness and joy. Only positive emotions. It represents that there is always new life to be had. And always a chance of hope.
I turn to my love, my life, my mate. I tell him of the light that called me back from the darkness. He smiles and proposes we name our child Akari as she was the light, the brightness that brought me back from deep within the dark endless void. I agree and Akari is the light of our world. She is the single star in the night. She is our preciousw baby girl.
