Why They Call It Falling
"There was passion,
there was laughter,
the first morning after.
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground.
Every time, we were together,
we talked about forever.
I was certain, it was heaven we had found."
She smiled again, even as her feet continued to walk. Oh, how happy she'd been then. When he had told her that he really would change, just for her.
And the plans, oh the plans. They would be married, they would have children, and Kikyo could finally live out the life she'd always dreamed. Not only a woman, but one who was loved, cherished, and even a mother of children who loved her too.
She frowned slightly. She'd always envied Kaede of this. Kaede, who would be able to live a free life, without any worries. She'd never really thought that if she died, the burden would be on her sister's shoulders. That wasn't how she thought of it.
If Kikyo had been killed by a demon, which was unlikely anyway, Kaede would have already grown and wed, had children. So no matter what, Kaede would live out the life that Kikyo could not.
But oh, how her heart had lifted that evening as Inuyasha revealed to her his heart. And the next morning, she had awoken with a new outlook on life. And as she saw Inuyasha, hiding in the rushes, no words were needed. They simply smiled at each other, seeing in each other's eyes the love that resided in their hearts.
"So why they call it falling,
why they call it falling.
Why they call it falling,
I don't know."
