Ch.10 Is it Enough to Love?
The test of faith, a dream of death, a presence felt. Tears fell like the rain as Kagome woke up. The day Kagome awoke was a dark one. Well, not necessarily dark but gray. Like a veil had covered the earth. A secret had been spread and a gasp from her lips was like a dream come true.
Miroku watched the young woman with a sad look in his eyes. She had stopped breathing last night, and pronounced dead exactly three minutes ago. He looked away from the cold figure that lay beside him. He stayed with her like that, not looking, not touching, barely breathing. . . He watched everything but her. The rain fell hard making puddles around the hut. He thought about Inuyasha . . . poor Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sat in his tree, his eyes closed. He tried to sit as still as possible so that the only movements he heard where the rain drops colliding with the foul earth around him. He felt the rough bark against his skin, smelled Kikyo's sent, strained for Kagome's fading one. He had faltered. He had wanted them both; Kikyo for his past, Kagome for his future; Crushed between he dealt with his grief. If anyone saw him in his tree they would have never know, his tears blended in with the rain as he took his shallow breaths. I give my breath to Kagome, he thought to himself. ..
Miroku brought himself to look at his friend's body. He felt his heart stop. Her mouth parted, a shallow gasp escaped her now parted lips. A tear flowed freely from her eye. Miroku found himself crying as he stood over the crying girl. "Kagome?" He asked in a choked sob. The girl's tears fell like the rain, quick and hard. Miroku ran out of the hut into the rain, a smile on his face and his arms raised, "Inuyasha, She is awake!! She isn't dead!" He fell to his knees as happiness overwhelmed him. Lying awake in the rain never felt so good. Being alive never felt so good.
Inuyasha broke his trance. His legs shook as he ran, one though echoed through his mind as he ran through the wet forest. He stepped out of the forest and stopped only to look at Miroku lying on the ground, rain running off his robes. He rolled over to look at Inuyasha, "She is alive." Inuyasha looked at the sky before stepping into the tent. Had fate turned? What is going on? His heart beat as he looked at the crying figure on the floor.
Kagome's eyes where opened and searching. He walked in front of her gaze and reached for her. She smiled a weak smile and whispered the three words that she had never felt so strongly about, "I love you." She then dozed off into a deep sleep. Instead of flying or solitude she was in Inuyasha's arms, just like reality.
To bad this isn't the end. I wish I could tell you they lived happily ever after. but the adventure isn't over with. What are the side effects? Will Kagome be displeased? Please read and review.
