SHATTERED HEART
CHAPTER 6
~*~*~*~*~
As I sat on the tree and thought solemnly about my immature decision of returning to this cursed place, I heard something from afar; a groan to be exact, as if someone was in pain. I quickly stood up and ran towards the source. And as I walked upon a hill, I gasped to see the worst sight I've ever laid upon. It so horrible, so depressing...
So bloody...
I saw you, Inuyasha... You were right in front of my eyes, clutching Tessaiga as it slid inside of you. I couldn't believe it... It was so horrendous, so atrocious, so dreadful! What was I to do?!
I cried out your name in the midst of new tears as I ran towards you with desperation and burdened guilt. You turned your face towards me, as I saw your eyes shine towards me. Your face was so bewildered and content; it was like a baby looking at its mother for the first time...
"Ka... Kagome...?" you whispered slowly, as I finally came to you and let you drop Tessaiga on the blood-stained grass below. I didn't care if you were bloody; I embraced you anyway...
"Oh my Gods, Inuyasha, why did you do this? What were you thinking?" I sobbed. I tried to look into your eyes, but you head didn't rise... you were limp and pale. And as I tried and lift you up, I now looked at the face of a corpse...! Breathing was becoming harder for me to do, and my eyes were wetting twice more than before. I'm holding your cadaver in my arms, and I didn't even care...
And as I declined to believe the truth, I kept on calling your name.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha, wake up! We have to go back now! Please wake up!" But reality was really clutched into my heart, as I looked at your limp body, and sniffed. "Inuyasha... don't do this to me.!" I choked up words now, for nothing could be done now...
You were dead!
DEAD, I SAY!
Why...? WHY?!
I sobbed in your shoulder for so long, as I caressed your perfect and beautiful silver hair. So much blood was on me... but nothing mattered anymore... I had to die with you... I couldn't live without you... It'd be too much for me...
But then I started babbling nonsense, wishes that could never be done...
"I wish this wouldn't have happened," I said, "I wish this whole thing didn't happen! I wish the village was safe and sound...I wish you were now alive, Inuyasha! I wish you'd come back to life and embrace me again, just the way you used to..."
As I kissed you head slowly while sobbing I couldn't reject these words anymore.
I whispered "I love you..." as if you'd reply at any moment. But all I received was the whistling of the wind.
And as I looked up at the stars, something brighter in the ground shined...
And lo and behold, the Shikon no Tama!
I stared at its immense shine as it sparkled brightly, which then disintegrated into dust... Just like that! It just...disappeared!
Was it gone now...? What happened...?
But as I looked at the bloody grass in view, I let another tear fall down my face... as I felt something touch my cheek and clean it out... I was befuddled for a moment scared, but then I look down again, and I felt a pair of arms encircling around me... Could this really be? Was it possible...? I looked down again, and I saw that silver-haired head rise slowly, and look at the face I've been so longingly wanted to see upon me...
You... Inuyasha...
"Hi, you..."
You grinned at me tiredly as you held my head. Your yellow eyes softened warmly and you greeted me, like nothing has ever happened.
I couldn't believe you were actually smiling; after all I've done to you... I was so happy to see you, to hold you like this... I hugged you around the neck and sobbed away my pain.
"Oh, Inuyasha, I'm so sorry I did this to you! I never wanted to leave you like this! I missed you so much! I thought you were going to hate me forever and what not, and I just want you to forgive me for all I've done to you! I know I don't deserve to be forgiven but if you could just-"
~*~*~*~*~
I placed a finger on your lips and hushed you, smiling more than I ever have before. I cleaned your tears again as I looked into you gorgeous vivid brown eyes.
"Don't worry about it... I don't care anymore who's fault it was... we both made mistakes, and what matters now is that we're back together now, and nothing will ever break us apart..." I cupped your chin and tilted you up towards me, as you put a hand on my arm and smiled at me. "I love you. and I meant it and mean it with all my heart. I'm the only one who belongs to you, and you're the only one who belongs to me..."
As I brought you closer to me, the wind blew towards you with a rhythmic beat in its steadiness. I could smell the scent of roses and honey in you, as I looked closely into your eyes, more closely than I ever have. I knew you were waiting for this moment just as much as I have, as we finally hold each other like this...
I pressed my lips towards yours and gave you the best kiss any lover could ever give. It was the perfect kiss for the perfect woman... it was not too risqué and not too sloppy... I embraced you more towards me as we knelt on the grass, and deepened our kiss a notch or two... But that's not what it matters now...
Out shattered hearts are now placed together as one... and nothing and no one, will ever consider breaking it...
Ever...
We broke off our kiss, and you smiled and said "I love you, you puppy." We laughed together as you lied on top of me. You placed your forehead on mine, and looked at me with so much vivacity in your eyes. I just loved staring into your eyes... It was like heaven...
~*~*~*~*~
The smoke cleared from the sky as I knew now the Shikon no Tama drew away the fire. But it was just you and me now. It was such a perfect moment, even though my clothes were stained with your blood. I didn't care. You forgave me, and I forgave you. This matter is now gone from our memories. It's all behind us... We've finally moved on into our future...
You kissed me again, and grinned at me as you held me in your arms.
"Kagome... Will you be my mate?"
Whoa, wait! Back up! Oh gods...
"Your mate...? Me...?" I pointed to myself, "but... do you really-"
"Yes, I love you that much..." you replied soothingly, "it's the only way to show you how much I love you..."
"Oh, I love you so much!" I glomped you haphazardly as I was smiling, "let's just mate and be together forever... College will never make my future as great as it is now. You're my future, Inuyasha, and I want to be your mate..."
We nuzzled together and fell asleep then and there. The last thing I remember was seeing your cute ears twitch as I kissed you one last time that night. That night was the greatest night of my life... And I'd never change you or this moment for anything...
