Choosing a Life
"Inu Yasha, are you that simple? We all know what will happen to Kagome if you wish Kikyo back to life. I remember that you told me about Kikyo being recreated. You said that she lay lifeless and was nothing but a rag doll."
"Yeah, so?"
"Kagome will become a lifeless body too. She will not be able to think or move. No thought will be registered and although she would be able to hear you, she will not be able to understand it. Everything that she knew, all her emotions, her whole being will be lost."
Miroku gawked at Inu Yasha's tear-filled eyes. It was the first time that he had ever expressed his true emotions and the monk felt honored to see it first.
"I have some thinking to do."
"Just remember, Inu Yasha, that Kikyo's life has ended, but Kagome's is still young."
Kagome felt a hand prod her in her sleep. ' Not another early morning!' she thought to herself dismally. She opened her eyes to the night sky and sat up. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she realized that everyone else was still fast asleep. She looked to her right and found Inu Yasha standing over her.
"Kagome, come with me. We gotta talk about some stuff."
"Can't this wait until the morning? I'm sleepy."
All that she got was a blunt no and so, not wanting to wake everyone up with an argument, trudged after him into the darkness. Pretty soon it was too dark for her to see anything and she had to use her hearing to tell where Inu Yasha was going. He could see well but he didn't notice how much Kagome was struggling to keep up. Finally another noise caught her attention and she became disoriented.
"Inu Yasha!" Her cautious walk turned into a frantic run and Inu Yasha turned just in time to see her run straight into a tree. They couldn't help but laugh at the comical thing that just took place. He picked her up off the ground and led her by the arm.
"Where are we going? It seems like we've been walking forever."
Just as she said this the couple walked out of the woods. It was a full moon and the heavens wore a black cloak of diamonds. She gasped in awe of the paradise and became nervous with the hanyou. He let her go and lay down on the unworn grass. She stood beside him and smiled at the universe before her eyes.
"I've never seen anything like it. It's beautiful. But why did you take me here?"
"Happy birthday. I know how much you love the night and the stars, so I thought I would show you it."
Kagome nodded in response. Inu Yasha looked up at her. Her eyes were so innocent, so wondering. Yet they were deep and held more emotion than any heart.
"So, I thought some things over. I remember how you talked about leaving when Kikyo and I were together again. And then I wondered what would happen to you. But what I realized was that it would be unfair to take your life so young."
Kagome perked up when she heard this and looked down from the moon. Inu Yasha reached up and tugged at her shirt. She sank down beside him obediently and looked at him with curiosity and eagerness.
"You're only a child, and sometimes I forget that."
"I'm not a child! I'm sixteen now. And I go through adult situations."
"Well, compared to me, or even Kikyo, you are. Kikyo died a long time ago. So did I. But you gave me a second chance." He looked straight at her and she had to avert his golden eyes. "If Kikyo was still alive, she would be older than Kaede, maybe even dead. But you still have your whole life ahead of you."
"Inu Yasha, I don't want to get in the way of your life. What happens to me happens. I know that I took a life away, and I want to repay you with my own."
Inu Yasha looked at her in amazement. She looked even more beautiful for some unknown reason. As usual she wasn't thinking about herself. She always wanted everyone else to be happy before her. Inu Yasha reached over and wiped a piece of hair out of her mouth. Unexpectedly she leaned into him quickly and pecked him on the cheek.
"Thank you. This is certainly the best birthday that anyone could ever have."
Inu Yasha's cheeks went back to their normal color and he smiled at her. Not just any smile, not an evil smile, but a genuine smile. "But Kagome, I haven't given you the main reason for choosing you. I don't know what my life would be like without you. I realized it last night when I went to see Kikyo. She left me, but you are always there. Even when we get in an argument, we still are there for each other."
"Inu Yasha,"
"Kagome, I trust you more than my own mother. When Kikyo was alive we didn't have the same kind of relationship that you and I have because we're different. And I have lived without Kikyo before. I wasn't living before you because my heart was missing."
Kagome looked at him blankly. Since when is he so wise and romantic?
' What is he saying? What do I do? I'm not ready for this!'
A/N: So it begins. I probably won't get many reads on this because everyone's probably tired of hearing the same dumb story. Oh well. Maybe I should try writing about another anime... we'll see. I have a few projects in the works right now including WHR.
Oh, and just a brief statement from my heart. I am a woman against "SUPER FREE" and I would like to bring this terrible problem out into the open. Japanese women should have the same rights as American ones, and it is absolutely atrocious that their judiciary systems are so warped. If you're like me and want to live in Japan I implore you to try to join in the fight for women's rights. Though we are women, we are not property and we should have more respect towards our bodies.
Sorry for the venting, there. I think I watch the news too much. ï
