Hey, I have returned. Those who read Waiting for You, sorry. It is on hiatus until further notice. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially katanna tagurasha. She revived my love for writing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the related characters. I do, however, have joint custody of Naomi with katanna tagurasha.
Please enjoy, Time Chapter One
Future Perfect
He walked down the slick, black street, taking long drafts from a bottle of cheap whiskey every few steps. He remembered back to a time when this jungle of steel and concrete was a thriving little village. Only this poison he let burn down his throat could take away the pain of this so-called future of his.
"A future without her is nothing. I might as well have died the same day she did.", he thought through his drunken haze.
He continued down the street in a half-stagger, almost completely falling on his face. He stumbled his way to his destination, the shrine.
He nearly crawled up the steps of the now abandoned shrine. He didn't care how he got there; he was going to make it to her, even if it killed him.
He made his way across the ghostly grounds to a tree, the Goshinboku. He stared at a mound of dirt, then slowly raised his eyes to stare at the kanji he had carved into the tree with his own bloodied claws so many years before.
Kagome Higurashi
My Beloved
He ran his fingers over the kanji as searing hot tears streamed down his face. His anger took over as he slammed the now empty whiskey bottle against the tree.
"Why did you have to leave me here by myself!", screamed Inuyasha as he collapsed on to Kagome's grave.
"Wake up you damn drunkard, it's time to go."
Inuyasha woke up in a bed with his head spinning, a sour taste in his mouth, and a pair of electric blue eyes staring out at him from the darkness of the room.
"How did you find me, Naomi?"
He could see naught but her eyes but he knew it was her. Her eyes shown like beacons in the pitch black room as she rolled them.
"After all these years of knowing each other and you still ask the same question every time I find you.", smiled Naomi, her fanged teeth twinkling in the darkness.
I hope you enjoyed it. Please don't hesitate to tell how you feel about it. It was good, it was bad, you hated it and you want to strangle me, whatever. Just click the button.
