A/N: The next chapters I'll post here were written based on prompts I got on tumblr, which is why they're so short. This prompt was I have your memory, asked for inukag.


I Have Your Memory

The afternoon sun shone through the leaves of the Goshinboku, basking them in a green, warm light. There was no one with them; it was a rare moment of peace and solitude, and Kagome thought, a little sadly, that it was unlikely they would get another one before the end.

It seemed Inuyasha could read her silence as if it were a sentence in a white page. Slowly, he reached for her hand, interlacing their fingers.

Kagome inhaled, feeling the rough bark behind her neck. The tree seemed to be offering her its strength. It was a comfort to know that, whatever happened, the tree would survive; it was still alive in her time, after all.

The very same tree. I have your memory, the girl imagined it saying. It is safe with me.

It will remain.

Finally, she looked at Inuyasha—and smiled.
