"I can't."

Why? Why can't you?

"I…I just can't."

I don't understand.

"Just…please…I can't…I can't explain."

Try. Help me understand.

"Inuyasha…"

Help me.

"Say something!"

He opened his mouth. Say what? What could he possibly say to her that would make her stay with him? I can't. I can't. What couldn't she? Didn't she love him? He didn't understand. Hadn't she said it herself, that she loved him as much as he loved her? I can't. I can't. Was it that she couldn't, or was it that she didn't want to. I won't. I won't. It had been a joke, her love, the weeks gone by, the things they'd shared. He'd found things inside himself he thought he'd lost, but she had only accidentally shown them to him while she bewitched him with her magic smiles. And he thought it had been on purpose, too.

"Inuyasha, please."

Please what? Didn't she understand that he loved her? That she was his world? Without her he was nothing and his heart would die without her words and her touch to bring sunshine in his eyes and warmth to his fingertips. He loved her more than love itself, and he would give anything to make her happy. Anything.

"Please Inuyasha..."

Anything.

"Just let me go."

Anything.

"Let me…

To make her.

go."

Happy.
