A/N: Yay! I get off today because I don't have any exams! Woo hoo! This means...You lovely readers get more updates. Well, at least I think that's what it means. I could be mistaken.I'm often mistaken. Oh well. Now, on with the story!
Chapter Three- "My Immortal"
I'm so tired of being here...
Sitting propped up against the Bone Eater's well, as he had for the past three days; he stared up at the clouds and sighed. He had been unable to leave that spot since he had returned to his own era. It was if the girl's spirit still hung in the air of that place, summoning him to it.
Suppressed by all my childish fears.
He sighed. "Kagome, if you can hear me..." He stopped. "This is stupid. Talking to a dead person. Feh. It's just stupid." He kicked a nearby rock to vent his growing anger. "You're stupid, wench! Why'd you have to go and die like that! Well!" He shouted out to the heavens in a fit of rage.
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave,
"The least you could do was to finalize it... Stupid wench... Why won't you leave me alone now? What do you want with me now! Can't you just leave, Kagome? Please, just leave, and be at peace." A gust of wind blew across the area, rustling the leaves of the go-shinboku god tree, where he had been pinned for fifty years.
'Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone...
"Feh, you're acting just like Kikyo." He sighed deeply. "But you aren't Kikyo... You never were, and never will be. You were completely different. And I didn't realize that... Until... It was too late."
These wounds won't seem to heal; this pain is just too real...
There's just too much that time cannot erase...
Everything reminded him of Kagome. The god-tree, the well, the prayer beads around his neck, they all brought back memories that he could not wipe from his thoughts. And the worst thing was, that her scent still filled the air, a constant reminder of her life.
'Inu... Yasha...' Her voice still echoed through the air, carried by the warm breeze, a continuous memento of the impact she had made on his life.
"Kagome." He said, and for the first time since that horrible event, smiled.
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd, scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years...
"Back so soon, huh?"
'Inuyasha...'
Of course, he acted like he couldn't care less, when inside, he was about to overflow with emotion from hearing her voice once again. Or he was thinking that he'd gone crazy. Either one was fitting. "Why take all the trouble to reach me, then just say my name over and over?"
'So many memories...'
He smiled when he heard this. No matter how much he tried to forget, the reminiscence of her life still stayed engraved in his memory. He still remembered everything since the time that they met. Everything: the good and the bad. /p
But you still have all of me.
'Inuyasha?'
"Kagome... I..."
You used to captivate me by you resonating light, but now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
'Inuyasha...'
"Kagome, please. Just leave, Kagome. I can't take it anymore." He bowed his head, staring at the grass beneath his feet.
Your faceit haunts my once pleasant dreams.
Your voiceit chased away all the sanity in me.
"Kagome... Please... You have to rest in peace now. You can't... You're not... It's not supposed to be like this!"
"Inuyasha, don't you still want me with you?"
"Yes! But... I just can't face it, Kagome. I can't stand the fact that you're gone. And you, being here with me... It's... It just makes it worse, OK! Please Kagome, go..." He finally let down his guard, as silent tears flew freely from his eyes. "I loved you Kagome... But now..."
These wounds won't seem to heal; this pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years...
'I love you too, Inuyasha. You know that. I loved you. I still do-and I always will.'
And you still have all of me.
He opened his mouth but was dumbstruck. "Kagome...Please... Leave. I...I just..." He exhaled loudly and hung his head low once more.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
"Inuyasha, just promise me, you'll take care of them... Everyone...Okaa-san, Souta, even Shippo. And if anything happens to any of them... Be there for them... For me."
"I promise. Now please. Leave. I can't take this any longer"
And though you're still with me, I've been alone all along.
All that was heard was the soft swaying of the trees, the nearby sounds of the village, and birds singing in the treetops contentedly. Nothing more.
"Kagome?" He waited for a response. Anything. "She really did... She's gone."
A/N: Whoo. Glad that's done with. Not my best work, but I still think it's pretty good. Sorry this took so long to update, but I've been super-busy... Also looking for a new title. Seeing as chapter six's song isn't from the Fallen CD. If you have any ideas, Review, or email me at
