ShadowSpinner: oO? It's really that sad?

(Kagome's POV)

I will never forget the day I left. I actually think Inuyasha was about to cry. I managed to hold it in, until I got inside my house. No one was home, Souta was at school, and my mother was at work. Jii-chan's room was empty, I guessed he was off on some vacation or something.

Realizing the house was completely empty, except for Buyo, I collapsed on my bed and sobbed.

My mother was shocked when she came in and found me at the table, probably looking a little worse for the wear, too.

"I came back...for good," I said, my voice rusty, as if I hadn't used if for a long time.

My mom figured it out.

She wrapped her arms around me, and I found it extremely hard not to start crying again.

Now, I sit on my bed, moonlight streams through my window, and I wonder if Inuyasha feels the same way.

I smile, remembering the first time I ever 'sat' Inuyasha. I almost completely forgot about all the good times we had.

I remember the first time he ever smiled at me. A real, true smile, not his usual sarcastic one. At that very moment, I knew he was the one.

But he was still hanging on Kikyo. That's why, on our last night, when he said, "Screw that" I couldn't believe it.

I wonder if Inuyasha remembers the same things? I hope that he, like me, is holding out, hoping that someday we'll see each other again.

My eyelids are heavy, but I still can't sleep. I guess there's too much on my mind.

So many feelings fill my mind, all dying to get out. But no one could hear. But I bet...if Inuyasha were here, he'd sense something was wrong.

Half of me wants to forget it all, just to be rid of the pain, but I know I will never forget. And maybe...maybe I don't want to forget.

I can't go on living like this. I can't keep holding on to the memories. But if I don't have the memories, then what do I have...?

My mind drifted to the last battle with Naraku. It had seemed so hopeless, because we had all split up, and I was all alone. Then Inuyasha came, and I knew it would be alright.

I know now that I will never forget anything. I will never forget Kaede, Kouga, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Kikyou, Naraku, Jinenji, the Shikon jewel...

And I know, that I will never, never, ever forget Inuyasha.
