1st Chapter

I will always love you (Whitney Houston)

By shiawase higurashi

If I should stay

I would only be in your way

So I'll go, but I know

I'll think of you every step of the way

It was night and I was walking with my backpack on my back in the direction of the Eater-bones well. But that wasn't like the other times. I had left the Shikon no Tama in Grandma Kaede's shack along with a goodbye note. That was not my place. It's never been. I belong to the future of 500 years foward from this age.

Yes... 500 years separate us... Inu Yasha. Tears started to come to my eyes. It was harder than I'd thought. It was to make it easier that I didn't say goodbye in person. It would hurt too much. I wouldn't stand to see Shippou's little face asking me to stay, or the requests of Sango, my so dear friend, along with Miroku, that even though being a lecherous monk it is a dear friend of mine too, and I hope that he takes the plunge as he's engaged with Sango. And… what would it be Inu Yasha's reaction?

And I will always love you

I will always love you

You, my darling you

My steps were slow. I wanted to absorb the more that I could of the landscape to save it as a sweet memory of a wonderful time.

Bittersweet memories

That is all I'm taking with me

So goodbye, please don't cry

We both know I'm not what you, you need

I still remember the first time I've ended here. It was on my 15th birthday, when I was pulled to the well, that connects this world with mine, by a youkai. It was on this day that I've first met Inu Yasha. I thought him adorable! Sleeping so peacefully, sealed on the Sacred Tree. I remember I've felt a irresistible will of touching his hanyou ears. And so I did it, but only that time. I don't think he would allow me to do it again.

Memories of the times I've spent with himstarted to come to my mind. I remembered the first time I've seen his human form. Although being vulnerable, he was really brave. And he showed himself to me, his sweet side.

On that night he was really bad. He had been bitten by a spider head youkai that had injected its poison in him. Without the youkai blood it would be harder to recover. It was then that he asked for my lap and praised me for the first time.

"You… smell nice."

"BUT! Inu Yasha! You've always told me you hated my smell!"

"I was… lying."

My heart started to beat harder when he said that.

Another time that it happened was when he sent me back to my age, so that I'd return never more.

He was all blood-stained. His belly had a hole caused in the battle he had had with his older brother, Sesshoumaru. Then, he pulled me to himself and hugged me tied:

"I…was afraid. I was afraid of loosing you!"

And I will always love you

I will always love you

"Damnit! Why do I have to remember this?" The tears were flowing from my eyes. I stopped. The moon litted the Eater-bones well. It was a few meters away from me. I needed to go! That was not my place! Inu Yasha didn't need me anymore! He's going to look for Kikyou, who is still wandering through this world. He just doesn't go because he's waiting me to leave, so that I won't disturb! He can't forget her, just like I can't forget him. And I never will. But I'm not the one he loves, and there's nothing I can do. He'd never given me false hopes. He's always been honest about his feeling for Kikyou. Then, why had my heart been so stubborn to fall in love with him!

I hope life treats you kind,

And I hope you have all you've dreamed of

And I wish to you joy and happiness

But above all this, I wish you love

But, that doesn't matter. As long as he lives happy, with Kikyou, and that she loves him, it's okay by me. I love him! I always will! But I want him to be happy most of all.

And I will always love you

I will always love you

It's better that it end soon. I've ended the stretch that missed to the Eater-bones well. I threw my backpack in it. Looked one last time to Grandma's Kaede shack, where those so beloved people, with who I shared moments of sadness and happiness, which I learned to love, rested, without the minimal idea of the suffering which I was going through of abandoning them. I let the tears drop. Passed my legs over the edge of the well and sat on it. It was time to jump.

I will always love you (x3)

I, I will always love you

Darling I love you

I'll always, I'll always love you
