Ch. 10: Beautiful Goodbye

Inuyasha sat down next to the well, his heart full of sorrow.

:Fed up with my destiny,

And this place of no return,

I think I'll take another day,

And slowly watch it burn.:

Memories of Kagome flooded his mind. It was all he could think

about.

:It doesn't really matter how the time goes by,

Cause I still remember you and I,

And that beautiful goodbye.:

He missed her so much already. All he wanted to do was jump

through the well right now and go to her. But he knew it wasn't

that simple. She had done so much for him. Even when he was

cold and selfish to her, she stayed by his side.

:We stagger through these empty streets,

Laughing arm in arm.

Night had made a mess of me,

Your confessions kept me warm.:

"Feh, I don't miss that wench. I don't need her." He grumbled.

But his heart felt a twang of pain as he said these words. ^You

know that's a lie.^ An inner voice told him. And he knew it was

true.

:I don't really miss you,

I just need to know

Do you ever think of you and I,

And that beautiful goodbye?:

All he could see in his mind was the disappointed look on

Kagome's face right before she left.

:When I see you now,

I wonder how,

I could've watched you walk away.:

It pained him to think he had hurt her in any way. ^I hope you

can forgive me, Kagome.^ He thought.

:If I let you down,

Please, forgive me now.

For that beautiful goodbye.:

He stood, thinking he could just walk away. But it wasn't that

easy. This was the last spot he had seen Kagome, and he still

regretted losing her.

:In these days of no regrets,

I keep mine to myself.:

"And this whole time, she thought I loved Kikyo. I wonder if she

knows how wrong she was?" He wondered aloud.

:And all the things we never said,

I can say for someone else.

Nothing lasts forever,

But we always try.

And I just can't help but wonder why,

We let it pass us by.:

Inuyasha turned then to peek down the well one last time. He

Could still picture Kagome falling down one last time. Tears

came to his eyes.

:When I see you now,

I wonder how

I could've watched you walk away.

If I let you down,

Please forgive me now.

For that beautiful goodbye.:

Inuyasha watched as he let one single tear drop fall to the

bottom of the well. ^I hope that one makes it all the way to

Kagome's time.^ He thought before wiping his eyes with the back

of his hand.

:Baby what can I do?

All to get through to you.

And sometimes I cry.

It's a fool's lullaby.

Sometimes I cry.

It's just a fool's lullaby.

Oh why?

I'm dying inside.:

Finally, without taking one look back, Inuyasha stepped away from

the well, and away from Kagome. . .for the first time in his

life.
