Someday, Somehow

Someday, somehow
Gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Nickelback

You glance at me. I don't move. You say something. I don't hear. I'm indifferent. Or so you think. You fall. I pick you up. You think I'm not so cold. I think you are not so naïve. But I'd never say it out loud. You think I'm arrogant. I think I'm superior. You get angry. I start regretting. You stop smiling. I'm ready to stand on one leg and juggle Jaken, Rin and the Hanyou. But I don't. I can't let you see. I'm so stubborn.

Why?

You think I have all the answers. I think you do. But we never share them. You sleep. I watch. You cook. I don't eat. I don't need puny human food. But I want it. Is that wrong? The Hanyou warns me to stay away. But your eyes invite me closer. I want to be with you. But I'd never disclose it even to me. I don't know what you see in me. Miko, you are blind.

You walk away. I follow silently. You sit by me. I sit by you. You think we can be friends. I think we must not be enemies. You speak without thinking. I think without speaking. You are happy. I am not. I do not know how to be. But some how, you are teaching me…slowly. But this will not last. Not until the Spider dies.

And he dies.

There is nothing left to do. There is nothing left to say. My land is free of nuisance. Your enemy is defeated. I must leave. So must you. But I don't want you to. I don't understand why. Sometimes I wonder if my father was right. If he was, should I let you go? Is it right to hold you back? Would you like to stay? With me? No. You must not. I must not make you. Then why do you look at me like that?

Could you…?

You hold my hand. I hold it back. You embrace me. I freeze. You are amused. I am nervous. You smile. I feel lighter. You blush. I smirk. You are shy. I'm bolder. You want me to do something. I cannot tell what it is. You show me a new world. I show my heart. You say, "I love you." I say, "Hn." You say you want to stay. I say you may do as you like. You think I need not suppress my emotions. I think you need not assume that I have many. You want to go back. I do not wish to stop you. Yet, you want to be with me. But I cannot keep you from happiness. The jewel is complete. You must make the wish. You must make peace. I must make war. My world can never be for you, Miko. Your world, I cannot enter.

What will we do?

You're at the edge of the well. I'm at the edge of my senses. You climb down. The sun sinks further on me. You'll die one day. I'll live forever. You'll forget me. I have your face imprinted in my memory. You are the perfect woman. I wish I were a better man. You should be with someone with your own lifespan. I should go back to being Lord of the Western Lands. You made me into a lovesick puppy.

I didn't mind it, though.

I spend my days on the battlefield and my nights in a cold bed. You're a million moments away. You must be happy. That is what I want for you. But I want you for myself. And I am a selfish man. So I make up my mind. No one can stop me now. I'll build my empire. I'll build it for you. I'll be a better ruler. One that you would have approved of. You probably hate me for letting you go. I love you anyways.

500 years in the life of a youkai is nothing but the blink of an eye. But without you it seems much longer. I need you to understand that I am on my way. I understand that you may not want to wait for me. This may all seem wrong right not but one day it will turn out to be right. On the legacy of his ancestors this Sesshoumaru swear, I will find you Kagome – someday, somehow.
