A nightmare come true
Kagome was surprised, and a little bit pleased that she had been able to break down the wall of the stoic demon lord. She hadnt know that Sesshoumaru was capable of sulking.
As for Sesshoumaru, well, he was more than ashamed at his behavior. He could only hope that this would not lead to any further problems...
Everything seemed so misty. But he was here. Kagome was in his arms, just like he had promised her. He had promised that once Naraku was dead, they would be together forever.
Inuyasha drew his lovely Kagome towards him, a passionate kiss ready to spring from his lips. He had waited so long. So long for the pure, simple peace of love. But she pushed him back gently. A soft, yet firm hand brushed his cheek.
She, his wonderful pure, perfect goddess, looked sadly into his amber eyes, and tears made the scene more misty than before.
"No!" He shouted, through a fog. "It has to be perfect. Ive waited so long!"
"So long.." He whispered. Kaome smiled sorrowfully at him, and turned away. She was leaving him. No... He had known it would happen, and when it did, that it wold kill him. Yet even knowing this did not lessen the pain.
Inuyasha was wandering again, thinking. I remember when I would not think so much. Life was so simple then... so simple..... He thought. He shook his head to clear it. Maybe, he thought, Maybe if I become human, and stay human, I can stay with Kagome.
This thought startled the Hanyou. He remembered also a time when he wanted nothing more than to be a youkai. Now.... now he didnt know what he wanted. The dream had come back though, and he knew one thing for sure.
He had to be with Kagome! He couldnt live without her. What if she left? He would be lost. So lost! No. He couldnt live without her. Inuyasha knew he would have to find a way to keep her here. Would destroying the well work?
"No. She would hate me." Inuyasha said aloud. He dug his claws into his palm, and blood dripped slowly from deep wounds. He looked up at a large tree branch that had gotten in the way, just in time, in surprise. It had hurt, sort of.
But mostly, for a few seconds, the pain had gone away. He didnt hurt anymore. He had stopped worrying about Kagome, and it had felt good. Maybe if -
"Inuyasha?" came a voice, floating over his shoulder. It was Kagome. She rested a hand on his shoulder. He put a hand on hers. Inuyasha looked into herface and saw hesitance. Oh, no! No! Here it comes!! he thought, panic seeping through him.
"Inuyasha... I..." she sounded so hesitant, so sad. But there were no tears. She wasnt sorry she was going away..... "I have to leave Inuyasha. I have to go. I cant fall in love with you."
"Why?" Inuyasha shot back, his voice filled with a nasty twist even he realized was mean. "Fallen in love with Holo, or whatever his name is? Fine. Just... Just go. Leave." And with that he sprang away, his heart twisting in anguish.
