…I try even though it's impossible…
The moment Magatushi tore through his heart, Kagome felt her own heart ripped apart.
She didn't doubt, didn't fear.
Didn't feel.
Her powers were already sealed. At the moment of his destruction her heart shut off from the world around her.
"My eyes…my ears…"
Dead silence. Empty darkness. Her eyes were open, but the gruesome images never appeared to them. Memories were lost to blurs. Would she ever see the silver demon lord again? Would she ever feel the electrifying glint in his beautiful gold eyes? Sounds of the Magatuhi's laughter passed through her ears, unheard, unheeded.
The songs. She couldn't hear them with her heart. Demons had wanted her sight, but for her, hearing had been the greatest asset. She saw the spirits with her eyes, but heard the truth from their souls with her heart.
The truth. Naraku was a lonely, wretched creature. Sesshomaru was a passionate, magnificent god.
Magatsuhi was pure evil.
There was no conscience in him, all traces of humanity devoured by darkness.
"Won't you come back, Lord Sesshomaru?"
She was devastated, not destroyed. Even a broken doll could become a demon. Even a despaired girl could fight for survival.
But no, she needed to believe. To have trust in him. To not break. To not despair. She only needed to wait, wait for his glorious return, his great triumph.
He was her god, a beautiful, perfect god…
Could it be he never belonged in this world?
"Come back…"
Author Note: I was once again visiting the SessKag tumblr community, and I saw a pair of screen-shots: Sesshomaru stabbed through his chest, and a close up of Kagome with wide, lifeless eyes. It's just the perfect scene. So sweet.
