First Time

One-Shot

Kikyo remembered when Inuyasha would whisper sweet nothings in her ear. His hot breath would tickle her sensitive skin and make her laugh. For the first time Kikyo had felt longing.

She remembered when he came to her one sunny morning, a blush staining his cheeks and handed her the flower she was named after. "It isn't much," he had said, "but it reminded me of you". For the first time, Kikyo had felt her heart flutter with happiness and her stomach fill with butterflies.

She remember how it felt to have his arms surrounding her, protecting her from the outside world. For the first time, Kikyo felt right.

Now, memories had no purpose to her. They just served to make her bitter and angry. They would only remind her of the life she had lost. They mockingly laughed at her, taunting her. They just kept coming back, showing her small images of the life she had.

Normally, the dead shouldn't be able to have memories, they were erased completely when their souls would depart to the after life. Why was she able to remember everything?

Well…, she thought as she laughed, I was never normal in the first place…


Don't you just love angst?
