Feeling numb was something I didn't like. But I blocked out the all the pain. All their disappointment was showering me, I'm not the same girl I was a few days ago. Now I want out, I could care less about school and the family. I wanted to be selfish for the first time and leave.
Inuyasha and I haven't spoken or seen each other since three days ago. Three days ago I changed for this all around rejection to a broken hearted numb shell. I was quiet now. I wonder if this is what Sesshomaru feels like. He's always thinking of something.
Kenshin was with me a lot, he seemed saddened. I don't know why, he wants to go he can. Nothings stopping him—or me…
No one cared.
No one truly loved me.
No one would notice if I left.
Smiling, I made my move. Tonight would be the night I desert the pain. .
Twilight, it's the time when everyone was busy out of the house or sleeping the house was quieter. I knew for a fact that Kenshin didn't party or go out. He was still adapting unlike the others.
"Ken-san, wake up," I whispered-yelled.
"He stated stirring when I hit him with him pillow.
"ORO!" he awoke.
He sat up, clad in only green boxers.
I sat next to him and looked at those amazing purple eyes. He looked worried.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" he whispered.
"Nothing Kenshin, I'm leaving. I want to know if you'll come with me…. You don't have to. But I've decided to go back to you're time and well live. I think it'd be better for me. I won't let you stop me, I'm leaving in ten minutes, and I don't plan on coming back."
He looked at me, realizing I was wearing my Miko outfit along with my bows, arrows, and two Katannas. In my haori, I had coins from both times, the meiji and sengoku eras. I found out the ones from the sengoku era, Inuyasha's era, were worth thousands of coins in the meiji era.
He looked at me effortlessly and grinned.
"Kagome, going home to my time with the girl I love is the only thing I ask. I wanted this for a while. I meant it when I told you I loved you. And I'm a man of my word. When we go together I will take care of you."
I smiled, it was the most bittersweet moment of my life. And I love the man who I'm sharing with it right now.
"Ken-san, get dressed and let's go, before anyone finds us. My abilities will mask our scents…" I said.
He nodded and I waited outside.
Our scents….Inuyasha would look for me wouldn't he? Now I don't know the answer to that. We avoided each other constantly, more time than we ever have. How could we end something like this? We did have something, right? Even though we weren't together we had a connection, one that I didn't have with anyone.
Love is just another word that fucks with you're head. (props to me cause I wrote a song that has that line in it! :D )
I should stop thinking about him, really. But I can't help myself. The fact that someone I broke and loved won't see me bothered me.
But now it's about Kenshin.
No longer will I follow anyone's rules and expectations.
Without thinking, I reached Kenshin's door. He opened it to see me there.
"KA-"
Our lips reunited. And damn it was good.
I know I shouldn't express my feelings on him, but I can't help it. He lifted me up when I was down. I loved him for that and I loved him as a person.
We came to the shrine, where it all started…
"Kenshin, you go ahead, I'll be there in a few minutes. He agreed and went off.
I decided, as my last action in this time. I'd do something I had to do yesterday.
I was in my old room again, looking at the picture of Inuyasha and I at the wedding.
We looked amazing, the picture could have been in a magazine. It was from the side with his arms around me and mine around his neck, kissing. He promised to always take care of me, his human night was the day. So naturally he did things he wasn't going to do as himself. But me, I loved it.
That day was crazy, after our kiss we danced and everyone was convinced we were going to get married, that or him and I were having sex. We just laughed at people's stupidity and kept to ourselves. I don't remember once what the bride looked like, but I remembered what we looked like.
This picture to me, was our greatest moment. And sense I'm letting him go, I need to let this go, the memory of us. And burning this picture would be the start of an no Inuyasha life.
"I'm sorry, but I'm doing this for me…" I cried.
This would be the last time I cried. I wiped my face and burnt that picture to ash. Putting the ashes in a plate, I headed to the sacred tree. Where we first met…
I sprinkled the ashes and smiled I'm letting us go.
After a good five minutes I left, and headed to Kenshin, the well and my future.
Goodbye….
