Chapter 25
Recapturing the Past
*****
To hear her speak of her death in a quiet tone, amazed him. He had never thought of her as one to go into death so easily, and yet, here she was. So calm. So excepting of her own demise. Well, he would not be.
"No..."
He said flately. He would not except it.
"Inuyasha...."
"No." He repeated. "I wont let you die...not now..not ever..."
Kagome smiled, placing a soft touch to his cheek.
"Inuyasha, its not something you can prevent. You and I both knew that i would die protecting the jewel one day..."
She ended that in a low tone, casting her eyes downward. Inuyasha looked at her, placing a clawed hand onto hers that still lingered at his cheek.
"Kagome..i can't loose you....not again..not when i just got you back.."
His voice sounded so sad and low as he spoke.
"Inuyasha..you never will...i will always be with you..you will always be..in my heart.."
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome, pulling her into him, he wrapped his arms around her slim figure, lifting her chin upward, he saw a faint blush upon her cheeks before he captured her lips with his. Feelings of the past came rushing back to him. The first kiss they shared, their first embrace. Things that seemed lost in time. The past. Fragments of forgotten memories. Lost inside the mind. His pased seemed just a ripple in the lake of time. So near yet so far....
~Ripple~
Dawns first light krept over the moutains, shinning through the thick cover of the canopy trees, upon a lone figure laying beneath the Goshinboku. Naked, it would seem, the rays of sunlight shinning onto a bare chest. Silver/white strains of fine silk like hair laid out about his head. Red cloth overlaid on his lower half, it was there that Inuyasha slept. For once, a peaceful sleep. Not tainted with thoughts of the past, visions and images of pain. A nice blissful sleep. The wind chilled him as he began to stir. His eyes, twitching in the sunlight, that now covered his face.
He graoned as he was awoken from his tranquility, a soft smile gracing his once hard features. He couldn't remember a time when his heart was not chained down with worries,regrets or pain. Though, for a moment, his mind wondered to Kikyou. One that loved yet hated him so much. And in the end, had sacrificed herself so that Inuyasha may live. For a second time he was in her debt. Even though, his heart was not troubled by this, when he thought it would be.
His thoughts slipped to who should have been sleeping soundly next to him. His golden eyes flickered open soundlessly and he began to move, for a moment not realizing he lay alone. He blinked, as he felt next to him, his hand laying upon wet green grass. Where was Kagome? He lifted up, shielding his eyes from the morning light, as he saw the empty place next to him.
"Kagome?"
He said, his voice questioning. He could smell no human nor demon scent that was unfirmiliar, so no one had captured her. But, where was she? He quickly clothed himself, fasening the sword around his waste, before he took to the trees, his golden eyes scanning for any sign of his dark haired beauty. Finding no trace of her, he made his way to the hut that sheltered Sango and Miroku. The scent of passion still hung in the air around the hut, as within lay Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha's golden orbs peirced through the shadowed darkness of the hut, to the pallett that lay in the far corner of the hut, two figures intertwined in sleep. Silently he krept to Miroku's side, shaking Miorku slightly, till he awoke. Miroku rubbed the sleep from his eyes and blinked.
"Inuyasha?"
He said in a tired tone.
"What do you want?"
He asked, glancing at the sleeping beauty that lay naked next to him, one arm drapped over his chest, the blanket that covered them both lay at her shoulders, her hair forming a transparent wall over the tops of her breast.
"Miroku.."
Inuyasha said in a low firm voice, bringing Miroku back to reality.
"What do you want Inuyasha?"
"Miroku, have you seen Kagome?"
Miroku blinked, slightly confused. He had not seen Kagome sense the night before when she stormed off into the forest, Inuyasha going after her, and neither of them had returned. And he told Inuyasha so. Panic that had been surpressed now arose in Inuyasha's mind and heart. And for a moment he was lost in it, Miroku's voice bringing him back.
"Inuyasha? What is it?! Whats happened! Has she been taken?"
Inuyasha shook his head. No, she had not been taken. He would smell demon or human if she had been. That, and he could no longer feel the Shikon Jewel.
"Perhaps, she has gone back to her time.."
Sango's sweet voice arose, as she gripped the blanket around her and lifted up. Inuyasha quickly averted his eyes, though Miroku did not.
"Yes. That's it. Let us dress and go to the well."
Miroku said, but Inuyasha shook his head and headed towards the door.
"Inuyasha, where are you going?"
Miroku called after him.
"I dont want to wait.."
He said and left.
~ripple, ripple~
The memory burned in his mind more then any other at that moment. Again he saw himself digging at the well, trying to get through, when Miroku and Sango had found him. He had lost her then, and he refused to loose her now. He broke the kiss, pening his eyes to see Kagome's dark hues, shinning with tears, each one that fell down her face, tore apart his soul. Before she had been so calm and collective, excepting of her demise. Now, what he saw within her eyes was all her regrets.
"Kagome.."
He whispered, taking her into a tight embrace. A sense of errie calmness settled over him. He nuzzled into her soft black hair and sighed.
"Kagome...you can not change the past, but we can the future.."
He said, pulling back and taking her face into his hands.
"I wont let you die..."
He said softly, before placing a soft kiss on her lips.
"I wont let you die.."
