It was the next summer that a rose bush grew over the grave, but it was not until the summer after that that it bloomed for the first time. A riot of flowers that smelled so lovely it was beyond describing. As if that was not enough to make everyone believe the bush was enchanted, the flowers themselves declared it. Red and white petals seemed to fight for control of each bloom, creating the most dramatic flowers anyone had ever before seen. A few where almost entirely one color, but as if they could not help themselves at lest one petal would be the other shade. However most of them where a swirl of both.
The bush did not bloom regularly so it was forgotten in time as the people who had known the couple buried below aged and died themselves. Then one day many, many years later a women was tending to her garden, and missing her little girl very much. She noticed that an old bush in the back, which had never before bloomed in her life time, was now covered in buds. As she watched the first one opened, a glorious snow white bloom with a single red petal at its edge. Then a red bloom unfurled right beside it, one white petal in it's outer layer. The woman stared at the two flowers for a long time as tears filled her eyes. When she fell to her knees weeping an old man and a young boy rushed out of the house, and past the sacred tree to her side. As they sought to comfort the wailing woman more roses bloomed and the air was filled with the most wonderful perfume. The woman slowly stopped crying as the scent filled her soul with a strange comfort. She was almost able to smile as she embraced her son, and gently told him that his sister was not going to be coming home this time.
So ends my tragic tale. As I said before this kind of story is not what I normaly write, but I hope it is enjoyable. Strangely, I am not done puting Inuyasha or Kagome though hell, there are some more stories on the horizon for the pair. Most are happy, but some are pain filled. Most will be at lest a bit longer then this one. I know these chapters where very short, but it just felt like the three parts should be seperate. Any way if you liked it let me know, reviews make my day.
