Nothing in life is ever THAT simple. You can't just love somebody and think that everything is going to be ok.
"Inu…Yasha"
It was never ok...
Taking down Naraku should of gone as planed…InuYasha should have been with Kagome and I with Sango, living happily ever after, but what if it took a twist, fate isn't what you want it to be, in fact it never really is.
"Oh god, NO!...INUYASHA!"
I can still remember Kagome screaming as Naraku pulled out InuYasha's demon form…I can still remember the only thing I could think of, the only thing I could do.
"InuYasha"…
I walked closer; each step seemed to echo… a hollow echo, so distant,
"You can't just leave…I need to let you know"
I remember his eyes, the shine just leaving and his eyes moving to darkness, I remember gripping his shoulders.
"InuYasha! Listen to me, fate,…fate my friend is never what you think it is."
His eyes growing even darker like my words simply slipped past him.
"You made me promise to never let you live like this. You made me!"
Yet still his soul, everything he was, still slipping away into the shadows…
"INUYASHA!"
I still remember thrusting myself forward, not in a simple graceful means, no, it's never like the stories tell it…I just lunged forward, not exactly sure of what was to happen next.
"InuYasha…" A whisper swept through my lips as I embraced him…
The feeling of sparkles hitting my cheek…I could feel tears, tears of the hanyou InuYasha I once knew.
But, … don't ever tell me it's that simple.
The kiss, I felt, was my eternity, it felt like nothing existed, I had no worries. My wind tunnel, Naraku, the shards of the Shikon no Tama…nothing seemed to matter. Even as a sharp pain rushed from my back and spread through my body…it didn't matter, he had torn my back with is claws, but…as long as our lips were together so my eternity of serenity stay intact, but I knew what I had to do.
Because it's never that simple.
I jumped back shattering my eternity, my escape shattering it like a damn jewel shard…InuYasha looked at me and smiled. And no, not the "I can kick anyone's ass-to much self confidence" smirk but a weak "I need you to help me by giving something precious up, our love up" And I knew that.
I can still feel the huge piece of glass in my hand, I don't remember where I found it because that really didn't matter. My arm had blood moving down it, just trickling because I knew what I had to do and that just made me grip the shard until my knuckles were white.
"InuYasha… for eternity my love"
I remember how hard it was to drive that shard into his stomach, pushing hard. My will was driven to its limit break both mentally and physically. Watching him fall back, to me it happened in slow motion but for some reason it was beautiful…his eyes seemed to retract the light they once lost…they never seemed to go dim not even after I had kissed his breathless lips, still, and with warmth in them. I remember closing his eyelids, they were so soft. I know it sounds funny but I couldn't help but notice those things. So simple yet they, at that moment, meant the world to me.
But as I had said before nothing is ever that simple
So now as my breath grows short and the serene world around me grows blurry I remember his face and his lips and the taste… but…most of all…I remember the shine in his eyes…
So now I must take my leave for my one love is waiting for me and I for him. So maybe it is that simple…
