An old woman sits on her bed, her once dark hair hangs in silver locks about her face. She rests her eyes on her bedside table, her eyes playing over the familiar pictures and trinkets, memories from a time all but forgotten. She clutches a small round jewel, still hanging on it's chain around her neck. The memories play through her head.
**********************
A familiar girl, staring at a tree to which a boy is pinned.
She gently ruffles his ears
The same boy wakes up and tries to kill the same girl
The girl and the boy grudgingly team up together
The same boy, same girl, he rests his head in her lap as she tends to his wounds as they both fall asleep
She cries for him when she believes he's dead
He protects her from harm
Same boy same girl, sneaking looks at eachother when the other's not looking
He tries to protect her by pushing her away
They argue
He comes in her window
They make up
Friends
Laughter
Good times
Bad times
One person threatens to tear them apart
She cries as she looks at the place they first met
He can't decide what to do
On top of a hill, they hold hands as they make up
"As long as there are happy times
I want us to smile often
I don't know if I can do anything, but...
I'll always be by your side"
Same boy, same girl, first kiss
She snuggles into his arms
He kisses the top of her head gently
"never leave"
"always together"
"I love you"
Last fight
last gentle kiss
Never forget
**************************
She clutches the jewel to her chest, remembering. Two small tears carve rivulets down her cheeks as she smiles a small smile.She takes a last long look at her bedside pictures, memorizing every one. She leans back against her pillow, closing her eyes with a genle smile to the welcoming darkness.
**************************
A young dark haired girl runs through the forest once again, across the dew wet grass. All the familiar sites, the familiar memories now real again. The great tree is bathed in light, and a figure stands under it. He turns and a knowing smile lights up his face. She grins as well and flings herself into his arms. There lips meet in a gentle kiss of memories, of love.
"I knew you'd come, why'd you make me wait so long?" more knowing smiles
"Traffic." more gentle teasing grins.
She hugs him tighter, "You don't know how much I missed you, I was so alone.."
"Never again, forever now."
"Forever....."
"Definatly forever." more sweet kisses.
"I love you Inu-Yasha."
"I love you too Kagome."
She takes his hand and smiles sweetly. Life is short but love is forever, forever and eternity. For death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while. She is no longer sad, no longer afraid, she's not alone any more......
