A silent figure walked through what looked like a wasteland.
As it approached what seemed to be the center, it suddenly stopped... Raising its head, it looked to the stars.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha lay there, thinking.
"What was she thinking?! Kissing me!"
He can't say he resisted, though, and for the moments their lips touched, he felt like it was heaven.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
(Flashback to the kiss)
"You haven't opened my present yet, by the way, thanks for the necklace." Kagome said as she handed him a package.
Inuyasha opened the package, enclosed was a note, "Look up," said the note.
Inuyasha looked up, and Kagome gave him a soft kiss.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
What happened next was a blur in InuYasha's mind; it seemed that he could only remember pushing Kagome away.
He ran far away, as fast as he could...Leaving Kagome behind.
"Why did I let her get so close?" He wondered to himself.
Sitting up carefully to make sure his head didn't bump into the cave roof, he looked out.
"Raining again, damn it."
"Want an umbrella?"
A dark figure popped into view.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome lay on her bed, thinking.
"Why did he push me away?"
A small tear formed at the corner of her eye, this she brushed away, as she heard someone approaching.
"There's still no sign of him anywhere," Kagome's mother spoke softly, yet her words still echoed the hollow room.
Kagome stared at the ceiling, some of the paint patterns were starting to look like InuYasha.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha ran through the forest.
"ARG! Why do I feel so strange?! I don't understand this! What is it about the kiss!?"
He ran even faster, while above him, dark clouds began to gather.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome took a lock of her hair between her fingers and slowly twisted it.
She remembered how pleasant the kiss was...But why did he push her away? Why did he run? Didn't he return the feelings that she had?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The dark figure walked onto the center and looked around; its eyes were human, and its hair black. But it had an eerie essence about it.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha recalled the kiss as he ran.
"What is it about that kiss that reminds me? What I'm I thinking of?"
He couldn't recall, but the kiss dragged back unpleasant memories... Memories from long ago—ones that he could not even recall.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The figure stood there for moments, amidst the rain, which seemed to fall around it, leaving it dry.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha was annoyed by the rain, he couldn't tell where he was going, and he couldn't smile anything. It stifled his senses, making him feel vulnerable.
The rain fell so thick, and the lightning only made it harder to navigate, for every time thunder stroke, his ears would hurt.
Even the trees were no protection, as the lightning could strike to kill.
He saw a small cave ahead, if he was lucky it might be big enough to fit him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The dark figure stood there, remembering.
So long ago, here, it had been happy.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha reached the cave, he was tired from running for hours, and not very sure of where he was.
The rain fell so heavily that it washed away all scents, and where he was was a mystery even to him.
He looked out of the cave opening, there were mountains around. To his right he could see –He suddenly shuddered; everything here seemed so familiar; had he been here before?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The dark figure stood, thinking. Where was the one it searched for? It was back, and it wanted to see him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome wanted to see Inuyasha, she wanted him to explain to her why he pushed her away.
She looked at the ceiling again, replaying the kissing scene. Did she do something wrong?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha thought about Kagome, he wanted her to forgive him. It was just an impulse to push her away, from a memory he couldn't even recall. He stared at the sky and wished for the rain to stop.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The figure left the scene, it was time to finish unfinished business, and do what was not done.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha wanted to run out back to Kagome, he needed to tell her he was sorry.
"Umbrella?" The dark figure asked.
"Kikyo."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A/N: Did this one in a different style, hope you like it.
