(D.G. haha… I'm finally back to get this on the road and try and get it done before I forget…)
Inu Yasha sat beside Kagome as she lay motionless in Kaede's hut while she tried to find what ailed Kagome so. Shippo was burring himself into Sango's chest fearing that they would loose Kagome to whatever battle she was fighting.
"She has placed a very strong barrier around herself, her aura is burning to the touch but her skin is as icy as could be. Her heart is doing all that it can to heal and save itself from all the pain inflicted from an unknown source that I can not name. I fear for the worse, I think that the very barrier that is made to keep out the pain is draining her life energy. The longer she remains this way… ye will have to burry yet another young maiden whom has stolen your heart, Inu Yasha."
Inu Yasha stilled, forgetting how to breathe while his grip tightened on Kagome's hand.
"Inu Yasha how can you just sit there and let Kagome die?" Shippo yelled as he swiped away his tears and turned from Sango's grasp. Shippo grew angry and feared that Inu Yasha would for sure hurt him for his words but remained in his stance, he would fight for that would hurt less and he could forget for even the smallest of moment that Kagome would die.
Sango, crying looked up from her lap towards Inu Yasha, whose face was shadowed and hidden by his hair. Miroku placed his hand on her shoulder for comfort. She didn't want to loose her best friend; she was so young and had her whole life ahead of her, just like it had been with Kohoku.
Inu Yasha looked to Kagome for words when things went wrong when no one was around but now he couldn't ask her for help, because now she was the one in danger.
/ she's dying because of me. I can't help her and I don't know what I can do to save her. I'll bear the shame of this night for the rest of my days if she does not live./ "oh Kagome… I'm so sorry." Inu Yasha stood up dropping her hand and walked out the door, his bangs covering his face with shadows.
As soon as the night air blew in his face he let he tear fall as he ran from the pain that tore at Kagome's heart.
Inu Yasha ran as fast as he could until he reached the God tree in his forest. Slowly walking up to the tree he placed his hand on the spot where he had been pinned for so long, laying in a dormant stage for 50 years. The pain from the first time he was killed by Kikyo rushed back as he began to think of him being responsible for what Kagome had done to herself.
'SMACK!' the tree made a load groan as Inu Yasha hit it with full force sending splinters all around the roots below him, using his heart which seemed to be breaking more and more. He balled his hands into fierce fists, clutching so hard that his nails broke skin. He covered his eyes with his long silver bangs and cried out I frustration, "KAGOME!" He used both of his hands to pound against the wood, smearing the bark with his blood and rested his head on his wrists.
He spun around where he smelled Kagome's sent of honey and raspberries. There was no one but the wind and his imagination working over time. He placed his back against the tree and slid down to sit on his butt.
/Oh Kagome, don't leave me… not now…/ his whisper to himself was like a scream in his head. He looked up to the sky and in the light of the full moon saw the pink flowers of the cherry blossom tree. Flashing back to a time where he and Kagome had a shared a special moment that was nothing but a shared dream…
The cherry blossoms glow,
Under the night
Of the full moon.
As I make a move,
To hold your hand,
You look into my eyes
I can see the world!
The fire flickers
And the water dances
The wind showers us
With the beautiful pink flowers
I rest my head
Upon your chest
You heart races
Our worlds
Blend and blur.
My eyes swim
With thoughts of us
Our future
Lay in the wind.
In the winds,
That has embraced us
I look at you once more
I shiver
From the look on your face
You look to me
Time freezes
Taking my chance
I lift myself to you
Place my hand on your cheek,
You still,
I loose my breath
Our lips meet
Our hearts beat,
Merged into one.
My promise is met,
My love made known.
A caress of bodies
A flow of energy
Sparks of life
Tension soars high above
Glows from heavenly eyes
Mask a precious smile.
A hold to reality
As you take me in your arms
Whispers of sweet tomorrows
Mingle in the air
Tingle my very being
With you I see
The future we embrace
Is as strong,
As the fore coming winds…
Inu Yasha looked up once again, the night had not changed. The time was still going on with what it usually did. Then there he felt it, another presence was near him, there was a hand on his shoulder and then as weight was set down more upon him, as if a figure was sitting, he looked over to his fight. There was a soft mist that occupied the area. "Kagome?" the wind sped up and the sent of honey and raspberries grew times ten. As he let a tear fall from his eye he felt a cold hand over his heart, as well as a spot on his chest and arm.
(D.G. Ha-ha! I have finally gotten someplace with this story. Oh and I think I need more reviews before I can finish this... it's just pouring out of me now from the pain that I have been inflicted with… so please let me know what you think…)
