Disclaimer- Nope, not Inuyasha or Kagome or Miroku or Sango or Shippou… *list goes on and on* Oh yeah, I don't own the song 'My Destiny' by Mandy Moore.
A/N- Once again, I AM TERRIBLY SORRY!!! Whoever knew school could be so hectic??? So, in the long process, I have forgotten which song comes next. But do not fear, I chose another one in place. It's 'My Destiny', A BEAUTIFUL song by Mandy Moore. Seriously, you should download it!
Thanks for reviewing!:
BlackPhoenix-sama-Lol, who knows if your request for a happy ending will succumb through? ^^ Not even I know if this story will end happy or sad
DarkMimiru-Chan- Oh, I'm sorry. I was on the negative side of the day the time I updated. I usually ignore flames. Wow, I am bad at interpreting things. And, yeah, I know how you feel when you're depressed. *Shudders* horrible, horrible time.
Italics= thoughts~Italics~= song lyrics
Let go Chapter 3She sat at her desk, studying for her upcoming university exams. It had been two years since she last visited Sengoku Jidai. And in those two years, Inuyasha had never come back for her.
Kagome groaned and slammed her fist upon the wooden desk. There is no way I'm gonna finish! Might as well take a break for now
She sighed and got up, stretching from the hours of mind-boggling work and taunt limbs. Kagome looked out the window and stared for a few minutes before she realized she was looking at the well house. Fine then, just a short trip
As she had done dozens of times before, the adolescent that was now in her last year of high school walked out of her house and into the small well building. A drip-drop sounded somewhere from the corner, disturbing Kagome a bit as she walked down the wooden stairs. The ladder that had been installed there 3 years ago still stood, though the rope had begun to fray.
~There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over, and over again.
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over, and over, and over again~
Kagome grimaced at the familiar words as a painful thought burst within her. I wonder where you are… why haven't you come back to get me? That were the words that played within her mind like a song, she tried to write her feelings on paper once but never succeeded. Her entire body would be awash with fear and emptiness. Yet, even through all those moments, Kagome thought she could hear his voice as clear as her now old cat, Buyo, mewing to her.
~So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray.
To be only yours I pray.
To be only yours.
I know now, you're my only hope~
She laughed bitterly. The nights were countless now at how many times she went to bed, only to find herself praying for some inevitable hope that he would come back to her from Kikyou. And how slim was that? After all, she was only second in his heart and mind compared to the powerful priestess.
Yet… and yet… she felt just so empty without him besides her. It was as if Kagome lost a piece of her soul without Inuyasha around.
Maybe if I try one more time… Kagome took in a deep breath, and vaulted over the ledge of the old well. She landed on the ground, nothing spiritual happening, and felt one of her muscles in her ankle being pulled. Silent tears ran down her cheeks and she rubbed the back of her leg.
~Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing, and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far.
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again~
Stupid, stupid, stupid song! Kagome yelled in her head. Though, she wished for some miracle to occur right here, right now. That she would be first in his heart and mind, they would be far closer, far closer then he and Kikyou had ever been.
Okay, so she was jealous of the girl. But who could blame her?
~I give you my destiny.
I'm givin' you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am~
She leaned against the wall of the well and breathed deeply and evenly. Obviously, she was trying to calm herself down. Whoever invented that method of breath in and out, in and out is stupid Right now, Kagome felt as if she would sacrifice anything just to see him, touch his face and look into those beautiful amber eyes of his. And he would hug her back, whisper in her ear how much he missed her all this time.
Kagome slapped herself on the face. Are you okay there, Kag?I cannot believe I just thought of that! She bit her lip, and suddenly felt the full force of her feelings for him. Oh my… damn…
~At the top of my lungs, I'm givin' it back~
"INUYASHA!!!" she yelled out and dropped to the dirt floor, shoulders shaking with tears.
She wished she could return all the favors he did for her, all the times he saved her, all the times he came back for her no matter how big the fight became…
~So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hand and pray.
To be only yours I pray.
To be only yours I pray.
To be only yours.
I know now, you're my only hope~
Kagome slowly got up from the ground and found herself trembling all over. Why do I feel like this? Why should I feel like this for a boy who lives in the feudal ear and is long dead?!
Suddenly, she felt something pull at her conscience. It was a feeling she had not, for two years, experienced.
Shikon shard!
And it was coming from the ground. A shikon shard on the ground? No, not ON, but IN
Kagome began to dig at the moist earth, pulling up remnants of rocks and concrete. Her fingernails became encrusted with dirt, and one of them snapped. She climbed up the ladder and came back down with a shovel in hand.
She lay the shovel on the floor, and then, with one hefty thrust of her foot into the ground, the shovel dug up not only earth but also a glowing pink jewel.
Shard? Shikon shard?!
Kagome picked it up, and an odd sensation running through her body. It felt as if time was slowing down and she was falling through thick water; water thick enough to let her stand. Her mind became dazed.
The first thing she heard on the other side of time was the sound of cicadas chirping in the night air.
~*^*~
A/N- Does anyone understand what just happened? Tell me in your review what you think happened with Kagome and the jewel shard. ^^ I caught the idea the minute I typed it! I'm a genius…. Okay not…
