Act Two
This set of lyrics is from my band "Everplay" from the song, 'Take Me Away.'
Away from you I fell as though I'm withering away.
Your spirit is what kept me alive.
Inuyasha sat in the branches of the God tree. From the highest branches of the canopy, he could see along the forest tree tops. He remembered the last time he sat here, with Kagome at his side.
"Baka, she's gone now! She's been gone for three months now, and she's probably never every coming back!" Inuyasha stood on his branch as he continually scolded himself mentally. Stretching his stiff legs, he leapt through the air and raced through the arms of the trees. He hardly touched the ground as he bolted down, running until he reached the outskirts of the village. He then dug in his heels and came to a sliding stop.
As the dust settled, Inuyasha walked toward the hut in which Kaede had 'given' him. Actually, it was more like she had forced it upon him with the threat of pinning him to a tree again if he didn't take the hut. Miroku and Sango lived in it with him. They had become very VERY close since Naraku was killed. And Miroku did look a little odd with TWO bare arms instead of one.
But seeing those two together only made his heart ache more fore Kagome.
If only I had told her.
But he could not control the past, and he had no say in the future. And as he entered the hut, he saw Miroku and Sango jump apart from each other. From the doorway Inuyasha scowled. His heart made a painful lurch and he started back out the way he came.
Slowly he walked down the path that Kagome had walked so many times to the well. Inuyasha had followed it every day after she left, just to see the shoe imprints in the soft soil and to smell the faint smell that was hers and only hers. But the rain had long since washed her scent away, and the water running down the trail had erased all tracks, except for those of his own feet.
As Inuyasha set foot onto the grass of the field that held the well, he felt every muscle in his body tense. Would she come back like she had so many times before?" Inuyasha held his breath, even called out, but the well remained silent, holding so many secrets that Inuyasha would dye to learn.
His hope shattered, he sat down where he stood. His heart was slowly cracking. Bit by bit the shards began to fall, so small that they could fit through the eye of a needle. For months he had done this. Call out Kagome's name, wait for endless hours by the well. But he knew each time that she would not come. Yet still a tiny shred of hope glimmered somewhere in his breaking body.
Inuyasha was a proud demon, and it would kill him to even think about crying, let alone start to do it.
But this time, the emotions swept over him like a tsunami. Tears of anger, sadness, pain, love, suffering, they all came out in rolls of emotions. Images of kagome, happy, sad, laughing, crying, flashed through his mind. The tears came faster, the sobs louder.
"KAGOME!!!" Lunging forward, Inuyasha tore his claws into the rotting wood of the well. He slashed at it, snarled, tore into it. He was mad with pain. And as he went to jump the well to the other side, his power failed him and he fell to the bottom of the dry pit. He landed heavily on his side, and lay there.
One, two, three hours passed. He watched from the bottom of the dry well as dark clouds rolled overhead. Thunder lapped the air around him as the air was suddenly hot and sticky, A moment later, he felt rain start to splatter onto his face.
"Kagome."
Without you I am so lost.
.Come back to me with your fire.
And take me away into eternity
