Please Don't Leave…………
I'm lying still now,
My body stretched out,
Fingers grasping at the dirt,
Searching for some small reassurance.
Of what,
Even I don't know.
Leaning my ear against the ground,
I feel a tremor in the earth,
Or is that my own body?
Shaking with unshed tears?
No – it is not me.
I am stronger than that.
I have to be,
Or else I will be ripped,
Shredded into tiny pieces.
Just like the Shikon shards,
We desperately seek.
A rueful smile crosses my face,
I wonder if anyone has noticed,
How broken I have become.
So divided,
A fissure in my soul.
The Shikon shards,
They can be mended:
Melded together,
One solid form,
Complete and pure.
Not like me.
Fragments of my being,
Are scattered throughout time.
Nobody has tried to put me,
Back together.
These thoughts are interrupted,
As I feel the ground move once again.
I stand,
Shaky limbs support me.
Climb higher,
Up and out,
Away from the smothering gloom.
Rain beats patterns,
On the thin covering,
Of this roof over my head.
My only protection,
But I leave it.
I have to see,
'Inu-Yasha?
Have you come for me?'
Trusting my hope to patch things,
It is so dangerous.
Bringing me back together,
Only to rip me apart.
I send up a silent prayer.
'Not this time,
Please,
Let him understand me.
Does he know how this hurts?'
I close my eyes tight,
A leap of faith,
Searching for arms to catch me.
I fall.
Lightning overhead,
But why is there so much?
A loud crash –
The well's side is bashed inward.
My hands are cover,
Blocking the wood.
I clutch at the walls,
Wanting support.
A roar from above,
A final cry,
Defiant and mournful.
A body is tossed,
Carelessly almost,
Blocking the rain,
Sprawling across the well.
Something touches me,
Warm and damp,
Wet and sticky,
Metallic in scent,
Blood.
I scream,
High and sharp,
Piercing the darkness.
But now there is light,
A single ray,
A figure looks down.
Twin stripes,
Of magenta and,
A perfect crescent moon.
It is only a piece of the whole,
You are incomplete.
'Not him,' a voice whispers.
I tell that voice to go away.
'Somehow . . . we're both,
Alone.'
As soon as I think it,
I know it to be,
The truth.
"Please," I say,
Begging almost,
Wanting someone,
Anyone,
Just to listen.
Just to look.
Please, confirm my existence.
"Don't go."

Okay, I know that this was probably a little bit confusing…so let me explain what happened very briefly. Kagome jumps back through the well, and ends up right in the middle of a short battle between Sesshomaru and another demon. Sesshomaru kills the other demon and it lands on top of the well. He then pulls it away, and that is when Kagome sees him. Anyway, please tell me what you thought!
Ja ne!
