—A Happy Ending—
A rainy day as per usual in the town of Forks had a man perched on the windowsill, gazing out through the rain splattered glass from a house tucked away safely in the flourishing forest.
Though the male had the looks of a seventeen year old, his facial expression and golden eyes told of a much deeper, older, and wiser story. His somber expression could struck a chord in any passerby.
After a moment, the male tore his gaze away from the outside to his lap, where a small photo lain. Although old, the picture was in perfect condition.
As soon as the teen's eyes landed on said photo, his hands twitched in the urge to clench, but unable to lest he crush the picture.
Sadness coursed through his veins, as did a mixture of guilt and regret.
Like it always did every year on this day, when he couldn't help but stare at this photo, no matter how much it tortured him.
The sound of footsteps fell on her heightened hearing, and he glanced over his shoulder as the door opened and a petite teenaged girl stepped inside the room.
Blue locked with gold.
No words were exchanged between them at first - none was needed.
The girl stepped closer to him, and embraced him gently. Her head leant against his shoulder, her lips brushing against his ear just ever so slightly. "Today...it would be her birthday, wouldn't it?" she whispered softly.
Edward's golden eyes clenched shut - it was the all the answer she needed.
The girl stared ahead of her, blue eyes full of sadness for her friend.
'100 years...' she thought somberly, making sure the barrier around her mind was in place so that the male in her arms wouldn't overhear. '100 years since he left her, and the pain is still as strong as the first day...'
But who was she to talk? She herself had yet to overcome the pounding pain that spawned from so longer ago...
The pain of discovering the curse the Shikon left for her - of realizing that her family from everything but blood aged, while she didn't. The pain of watching not only her friends, but the memories of them as well, fade away into nothingness.
The pain of watching her family, her blood family, aged without her once she was finally reunited with them after waiting five hundred harsh years.
The pain of discovering that not even Inuyasha, a half demon, would be spared from the greedy clutches of time...
Tears welled up in her eyes as her arms squeezed him softly. "...one day..." she murmured softly, and Edward's eyes shot open at the sound of her voice.
His head turned to look at her face, and his eyes widened at her face of pain. "What did you say?" he asked quietly, an eyebrow puckered in confusion.
He was shocked at the vibrancy of understanding and pain in the depths of her sapphire eyes as they opened to gaze at him. "The pain," she clarified, fixing him with an intense gaze. "It will never go away. You might never forget. But one day, you'll be able to move on. It will start to lessen, little by little - so little that you might not even realize it until one day, you everything will be all right. That the gaping hole in your chest has receded into a small pinprick. I may not know when, but some day, sooner or later, life will seem worth living again. It's ok to let go."
It was then that she realized the true extent behind her words, and she gazed at the vampire with a new emotion churning in her eyes.
Edward looked at her curiously. "What is it?"
Kagome's watery gaze flickered to him, and for the first time in a while, she offered him a true smile. "I just realized to let go myself."
A ghost of a smile appeared on the males face at the irony of her words.
Kagome let out a small, light laugh, before turning her attention back to him. "Will you be okay?" she inquired.
Raising a skeptical eyebrow, he nodded anyways.
Lips quirked in a smile, she shyly placed a small kiss on his cheek, a blush coating her own.
Edward switched gazes from the girl on the photo to the one walking away from him.
Maybe, just maybe, he could gather up the courage to try once more...
Taking the picture, he brought it up to his lips and place a feathery kiss against the glossy surface,
"Goodbye Bella, but it was for the best. You and I both knew, no matter how painful it was to grasp. I will forever be sorry."
Because even if Kagome didn't realize it, it was because of her that he was able to come at peace a long time ago. It was because of her, his still-heart was able to repair and love again. Because of her, that he realized long ago, just how much life seemed worth living for again...
He just needed her to realize it too...
