(It starts with)
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time
when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell
apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time
when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
'Who knew?" Kagome thought bitterly, scars of sorrow etched in
her expression. 'The world's gone. There's nothing left. Nothing.'
Kagome collapsed onto the hard, hot ground, salty red tears mixing
with blood, dirt, sweat, pain, confusion, love, hurt.
The emotions she was feeling.
I'll die from the pain of it all.
Everyone, everything was gone.
Hours passed and the sun started to set. Kagome never moved. Her
trails of tears were dry. Her pain was beyond tears, beyond emotion. Thousands
of invisible needles poked her heart. Sharp stalactites seemed to prod
at her body repeatedly, never slowing down, never showing a sign of mercy.
Her body seemed to be nothing but a source of pain. It couldn't do anything
but make her hurt more.
Out of the blue, someone hugged her. Their arms were frail but comforting.
Kagome didn't know who it was. She didn't care either. She hardly
cared about anything anymore.
"It's ok." The voice was soothing. He was forcing her to sit
up. Kagome didn't comply. She was just there, a limp rag doll, thrashed
about and old. He held her to his chest, patting her back, combing her
hair.
"It'll be alright. It'll get better. It'll be alright."
"No it won't." She sobbed, soaking his shirt or robes or whatever he
was wearing.
"Yes it will." The voice insisted. Though Kagome was tired and
weary, she forced herself to look up into the eyes of the one who had been
comforting her and was now defying her. She saw emerald.
Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived. Potter.
Kagome hugged him, a fresh wave of tears coming on. She sobbed and gulped for air, shuddering like a child. Now tears were coming like Niagara Falls.
"What can I do?" Kagome whispered, looking up again at the blood-streaked face of Harry.
"I don't know."
"What are you going to do?" Kagome asked.
"Kill Voldemort." Harry spat out Voldemort's name like venom in his mouth. It was Voldemort who had killed his parents. It was Voldemort who had killed the closest thing to a parent, his godfather. It was Voldemort who killed all his friends. Ron, Hermione, Professor Dumbledore, Neville, Professor Mcgonagall, everyone had died because of Voldemort! Harry could only be thankful that Voldemort had not managed to kill Remus Lupin who had informed Harry that he was going to find other survivors, if there were any. And he had not killed…her. Kagome. Why was she spared? Was she special? Or was it pure dumb luck. Harry doubted that she could stand up to Voldemort. Kagome looked sort of frail though that may have been from her fatigue and exhaustion.
"Oh." That was obvious. Kagome felt like kicking herself. But even if she possessed that kind of flexibility, she wouldn't be able to. She just wanted to sleep…just sleep.
Or even better, die. Yes, death seemed so wonderful, so welcoming. She could see them all…Souta, her mother, her father, everyone! They were welcoming her in that bright light up in the sky! Oh how their smiles were so warm and charming and how the way their eyes lit up made Kagome wish that she could fly up there and her eyes could twinkle like that too!
Oh how she wanted that so much…to be embraced, kissed, loved, pampered.
But that couldn't happen anymore. Cause everyone was gone.
Everyone was gone.
Everyone was gone.
Everyone was gone.
Kagome fainted in Harry's arms.
She was flying up there now, wasn't she? She had died and was
speeding up there and seeing her parent's welcoming smiles. Souta and Buyo
mewing, hell, even Draco was there, smirking. But when she seemed a mere
inch away, something was pulling her back. What was it? She looked over
her shoulder. Sesshoumaru. He was down there, calling for her desperately.
Were those tears flowing down his face? Was that a hungry look of need
in his amber eyes?
Before Kagome knew it, she was falling. Falling, screaming, sobbing, while Sesshoumaru looked down at the ground, hoping that Kagome would not leave him, alone on the barren Earth.
