Delicate hands reached for me, but I stepped away. Teary blue eyes widen as I tried to keep mine emotionless. I hated this part in life, when the one I love is in danger because of the worlds I'm involved with. A sob escapes pale pink lips as she pulls her hand closer to her chest, her eyes look down at the floor. I want so badly to reach for her, tell her I do love her and this is the only way I can protect her.
Midnight waves cover her heart-shaped face, as her pale skin seemed duller, unlike the normal glow that usually caught the moons light in such an enchanting way. Her white sun dress flowed lightly in the breeze, her hair following shortly after. That's when I saw it. A lone silver tear caressed her cheek as it feel from her eye.
"Just like that, huh? The past three years were nothing to you? Every kiss, touch and word was wasted. I moved here from Tokyo, away from my family and friends to be with you." Her voice was so broken; I almost cracked, and told her the truth. But the voice in my head convinced me otherwise. "It was. I fell out of love with you about a month ago, and I thought I could fake it. I can't, not with you dragging me down." I lied, breaking both of our hearts.
A bitter laugh fell from her lips and her head snapped up, her dull blue eyes shined with tears. Her hair was moved so I could see her face, the one I used to stare at while she slept. Her hands became fist at her side; betrayal was clinging on her like bees to a rose.
"I should have listened to Inuyasha and stayed with him! I should have finished college in Tokyo rather than move out here. I should have done so many things, but I didn't. You know why? I loved you. I loved you more than anything in this ungodly world." She hissed out as every word stabbed me, breaking more and more of my heart. "Did anyone ever tell you that Inuyasha came to be the night before I left? That he promised to marry me, and to take care of me. I convinced myself that it was you who I loved, but I think it was a lie." She finished, her voice was low, like a whisper at the end. I let out a silent gasp, my heart completely shattered.
She turned away from me, slowly walking. I couldn't move or utter a word as she created a larger distance between us, but she paused. Deep down I hoped that she would run back, begging for me to take her back, or tell me she wanted to be with me no matter what.
"I will always love you, Kurama. I will love you until the day I die." And with that, she walked away from me and into the darkness. Once I knew she was gone, I dropped to my knees and let out all the pain and anger I felt.
My inner beast let out a roar as I couldn't help but cry my sorrows out. I was so in-love with her, ready to propose next week, ready to create a family. Finding out that my deed to the spirit world had been reopened and that her life was in danger, I needed to end it before she was killed.
The only thing that was on my mind right now was the woman I lost forever…
Kagome…
