Lost in Memory

Stare.

All she could do was stare.

What she lost that day would forever

Haunt the memory of a once innocent mind.

Crimson, a glorious color to some.

A color of pain to the ones that count.

A color of foreboding and grief.

Of sadness.

Of blood.

All she thought of now was the memory

Of a long time past.

Of a pain never to be forgotten.

Of a day that would make nightmares

Scream in fright.

All because of him.

He, the one who thought he would get

Away unharmed.

A grim smile.

He got away,

He got away to his grave.

She could sill remember the look of horror on his face

As she tore his plan, as well as his life,

To pieces.

I got my vengeance.

I got it for you.

My son.

So innocent and so fun.

You used to never leave my side.

You used to call me okaa-san and

Cling to my hand in glee.

You used to love me,

I used to be your everything.

Until he took you away.

He took your light away.

He took my light.

He took you.

I loved you.

You were my everything.

I was yours.

I wanted to watch you grow.

Watch you learn.

Watch you love.

And he took you away.

I took his light away.

Locked it in a place

Where he could never get out.

But…I died that day.

I died with you.

I didn't let my body follow.

You wouldn't let me.

I tried, but you always told me

That " I had people to take care of"

You were my love.

The one who I comforted.

You were my joy.

I watched you.

I loved you.

How could a light as bright as you

Just fade before my eyes.

You last words,

I will forever remember.

You said…

"I will n-never forget y-you okaa-san,

Will y-you forget me?"

You looked so broken.

I spoke with all the life and love I had left.

"I will never forget you. Never. You are my son.

No one will take your place.

I wish you didn't have to g-go to s-sleep,

b-but I will see you again.

A s-soon as I can come."

You drew in a shaky breath,

I remembered how you had a heartwarming smile

and how I would never see it again. You left.

You left me, clutching my hand. How could I let go.

I never let go. Not for one moment. And I don't

Think I ever will.

I'll see you again some day my son,

But for today…

I relive a memory.

A/n: I don't own Inuyasha.

I hope you like my story, or at least it makes you think.

Don't put off love, because it could be gone the next day.

This story is obviously about Kagome and Shippo and I hope

You got the point.

I accept flames and praise. Review. It helps.

Don't let love pass you by.

Sincerely, Candi Rose
