The Night

By Lupakitten

Lupakitten: Its about midnight, and I cant seem to sleep. I have alot of nights like this, and I had nothing better to do, so I figured Id write a story. I dont know if its gonna make sense, or if its just gonna ramble on and on. Im not planning it out like I usually do. I dont own any of the characters from Inuyasha, but I wish I did.

Life. Whats the point? You go through the pain, the suffering, the heartbreak, the despair, all for those fleeting moments of joy when your near the one you love. Its even worse when the one you love doesnt love you back, or you dont know who you love. As for me, I dont know. I dont know who I love, and I dont think any of the candidates would love me back. The pretty Miko girl, or her reincarnation in the tiny little skirt. The handsome wolf Prince with the cute pointed ears, or the determined Dog Demon Hanyou. The cold calm Taiyoukai Western Lord, or the boisterous outgoing Hoshii. The strong shy demon slayer, or the sweet animated wolf girl. No, I dont think that any of them could love me. Once I was their enemy, or part of me was. They destroyed that part of me, freed me from his evil embrace. I never wanted to hurt any of them, I just wanted to be loved. All those years ago, when the Miko rescued me, it wasnt really me that agreed to the deal with the demons. It was their will, planting that Other within my body, within my very soul. All I wanted was love, couldnt they see that? No one will ever love me. I stare into the night, wishing for what could never be. Hearing a noise, I turn toward it. Looking into the distance, I see Her coming for me. Someone that I can love, and who will love me back. Walking up to me, she bows. "Will you come with me?" I bow back to her. "Yes, yes I will." She turns and I follow her into the night, healed.

Lupakitten: Well, there it is. Tell me what you think. By the way, the pairing is Onigumo/ Midoriko. Youd have never guessed, right? Please review.
