Pairing: MaleKagome/Sakura
Dedicated to: Vikuppy
Sakura solemnly kneeled at a grave placing flowers upon it. A year had passed since his death and it pained her. It was of the man she loves. No, it wasn't Sasuke. The man who died taught her how to truly love. His name was Kagome Higurashi. He was claimed dead as he had never returned from his A-rank mission.
Blue eyes stared at the pink hair girl crying in front of a grave. It pained him to see her torn. He silently walked up behind her. Sakura could sense the presence behind her but couldn't find it in her to care as she mourned for Kagome.
"Sakura-chan, please don't cry..." The man embraced her from behind.
Sakura was enraged. Who dared to hug her? To comfort her over someone she loved! She whipped around ready to scream in the person's face until she saw who it was. Her green eyes widened enormously in shock as she fell backwards falling to the ground. Those blue eyes. That black hair. He looked just like... "Kagome-kun," whispered Sakura as if she was seeing a ghost.
"Hai?"
Sakura was even more enraged now. How dare someone impersonate Kagome! It was punishment time. Infusing chakra into her fist, she punched the imposter with all her might. "How dare you impersonate him!"
The man flew from the punch hitting a tree located not far away. He slid down the trunk and soon after the top half of the tree broke and fell the other way. He brought a hand up to rub his immensely sore cheek. "Itai," he whined, "your strength has only improved. Though I might need you to play doctor to reassure you didn't just break my cheek." A cheesy grin was Sakura's focus. That comment was just like him. It couldn't be though. He was dead. The man got up and hugged Sakura. "What's the matter, Sakura? You're quiet."
"This can't be happening. You're dead."
"I'm here aren't I?"
"No... You died on a mission. We held a funeral for you." Sakura was still in his arms continuously in denial.
A funeral? The hokage didn't tell him anything about a funeral. "It was a minor set-back. I was held captive for a bit and interrogated, but I'm alive."
Sakura no longer held any doubt that this man was Kagome. Tears cascaded her cheeks as the top of her head implanted itself into Kagome's chest to hide her tears. Sakura profusely grasped his shirt as if he would disappear if she released him. "Baka... Baka!"
Kagome meekly smiled. "Sumimasen."
Sakura continued to cry and Kagome allowed her. He just continued to securely hug her.
When Sakura finally began to calm down, Kagome tilted her head up. He used his thumbs to wipe away the stay tears as his hands held her face. "Ne, Sakura..." He leaned down and kissed her which Sakura happily melted into. Removing his lips, he stared into her eyes. He had missed her so much. "I'm home."
A smile finally took its spot on her face. She jumped at Kagome wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him once more.
She was home too now.
Home was with him.
