Lonely Night
Chrysolite Heart
A/N: This is a songfic dedicated to the pairing of Inuyasha and Kikyou but whether you're a fan or not doesn't really matter, it's open to all people and readers…unless you're one of those people who can't even stand the sight of Kikyou's name if it doesn't include bashing…then maybe not. So for all others, please enjoy! The song itself is called Lonely Night. And I don't own Inuyasha.
Sometimes I feel so lost
So lonely
I think of you
You're not around me
Sometimes I feel you here
Beside me
But all I see
Long lonely nights for you
And for me
A woman dressed in white and red traditional priestess clothing walked quietly along a grassy meadow. She was returning home. Was it her home? It was what she had once called home. Her soul collectors glided in front and behind her, protecting her, comforting her and lighting her way.
Kikyou hated these nights. The nights she couldn't sleep, had nothing to do and nothing called for her. All she could do was think and she hated that, because on those nights there was only one thing or person she ever thought about.
InuYasha.
Another lonely night
Just passing through
Alone by the stars and moon
Why can't you be the one?
The one for me
Love, not meant to be
A half-demon with long silver hair sat up, straight and alert in his tree branch. He looked down at his group of companions below him, sleeping soundly and sighed. He couldn't sleep.
Inuyasha stared up at the sky, the stars were beautiful. When had he come to like star gazing? He couldn't remember. He glanced towards the forest they had just recently come out of behind him, he thought he caught a flash of something white. Soul collectors? The first name that ran through his mind:
Kikyou.
Oh how I want to say 'I love you'
And hold you close
I'll never let you go
I miss the times we had together
The radio
Playing our songs for you and for me
Inuyasha shook his head to make sure he wasn't seeing things and the white suddenly disappeared but he couldn't stop the urge he had to go see for sure. He hopped down quietly from his tree branch and with graceful speed, made his way into the forest.
Kikyou looked at the dark forest ahead of her. She had stopped short but her soul collectors were urging her to continue. She didn't want to go but at the same time did. It was like there was some kind of a force pulling her in, and with a hesitant step, entered through two gloomy hundred year-old trees.
Time after time, I run to places
The 'we have been'
Brings back the memories
Night after night would last forever
Without you here
There's so much love I have to give you
She was here, he could feel it. He felt his heart lurch as he twisted and turned wildly, searching. Where is she? He couldn't control the need to see her, to make sure she was alright. He continued his run, his breath beginning to get heavy. Was it because he was nervous or actually tired? He couldn't tell, he needed to see her though. Where was she?
He was here; she knew the moment she had stepped through those trees. But why? Was he looking for her too? As wrong as she knew it was and although she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but want to see him. She tried to concentrate and find him but seemed unable to. Where was he?
Another lonely night
Just passing through
Alone by the stars and moon
Why can't you be the one?
The one for me
They had both reached the same place, in the middle of the forest. The sacred tree. Both had their backs to the tree, they could feel each other's presence but still could not find each other. So close, but so far.
…
"Kikyou!"
…
"Inuyasha!"
…
Love, not meant to be
A/N:
What did you think? Kind of sad and I think it expresses the tragic love story between Inuyasha and Kikyou quite well, the song I mean. Well anyway, review please!
