Chapter2

((Ka's POV))

My legs finally gave out on me, and where would they lead me…of course to the place of my pain. Damn you feet! I collasped sobbing onto the hard ground. If you looked closely at the stones I collasped in front of you would see names inscirbed on these stones and the parting words of fellow comrades. The first one read:

When I looked at the words I carved there myself I began sobbing harder. Suprising myself, I began to sing to them. I was so sure they could here me.

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

'I'm sorry Inuyasha. You were able to get your revenge against Naraku though…'

(((Flashback)))

Everyone stood on the battle field. Things were going rough so far. Kagura was releasing random wind blades at Sango and Miroku as they tried to dodge. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were in the middle of the field fighting the bastard named Naraku. Sesshomaru was holding his own; however Inuyasha was beginnig to tire greatly. Kikyo had been on the edge of the battle field with me as we were both going to use our miko powers to help. After a strange dream encounter I had found from Midiroku that I was infact a demon and a miko. She had trained me nightly in perfecting my skills as a demon and as a miko. Suddenly I heard Kikyo scream; Naraku had impaled her with one of his tentacles. Apparently Inuyasha had heard too, because he had turned to look; and was also impaled by a tentacle straight through his heart. I let out a horrified scream at this.

((End Flasback))

I sensed that there was someone else in my clearing watching me. I did a quick scan of him: nothing malicious, only pure concern and curiousity.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.
'Sango, Miroku, Kohaku…I'm sorry, you all were cheated out of so much by that asshole…I hope you can forgive me one day…'

(((Flashback)))

When I screamed Sango had turned to look at me. She never saw the wind witch's attack that almost killed her. Miroku had jumped in front of her right before the attack struck. I heard Sango screaming his name, I turned and saw the attack slice through the man I considered my older brother. The next thing that happened seemed to occur in slow motion. Sango, in her grief at seeing her lover struck down, did not see her brother;still controlled by Naraku; sneak up behind her with his blade, that is until she felt the blade sinking into her flesh. Apparently, Naraku, thought now would be as good time as any to retrieve the jewel shard from his back. I stood, my anger building at the thing that killed my friends, while my power grew to unimaginable heights.

(((Flashback end)))

The numb feeling I usually got when thinking about my second family was not there tonight; only pain, regret, sorrow, despair, self loathing, and love. The man who was watching me was still here. 'Why hasn't he left yet?'

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love

'Shippo, I'm so sorry…I let you down…I failed my duty as your mother…I understand if you never forgive me for putting you in a situation where your life was ended at such a young age…I'm sorry…'

(((Flashback)))

My rage was quickly reaching its peak. Naraku looked scared of the power raidiating off me. Good let him fear me, he slaughtered my friends, he brought many inoccents to their premature deaths. Let him feel the fear he had caused so many people. Suddenly hoping to catch me in my grief, he did something completely stupid, he killed my son. My heart ceased to beat for a few steady moments, then it felt like I was suffocating. I don't remember much of what had happened next. I sent out a blast of pure energy and youki, it destroyed the army of thousands of youkia he had created. Naraku seemed to realize his mistake soon after the blast, he not only made me more grief striken, he pissed me off. This was it, the final moment in battle the last powerful warriors, the moment Naraku paid in full for all the evil things he had done, the moment I got my revenge against the bastard who killed those closest to me in this era. I created a bow out my own energy as well as an arrow that was filled to the brink with purifying energy. I took my careful aim and shot. A moment in time that seemed to last a year, my arrow flew true, striking him where his heart laid. I watched in somewhat solemness as he was turned to ash. I looked over to my left, standing there was Sesshomaru bleeding heavily. On the ground lay my friends' bodies. Sesshomaru simply looked at me and shook his head slightly and took off. I could tell what he meant though; the Tensaiga would not bring my friends back to the world of the living. I collasped to my knees as rough sobs racked my body. After I had exhausted all my tears, I made a make shift carrying sling to carry the bodies of my friends. I found Kilala not moments before, she had a long gash in her side so I healed her. She helped carry the bodies to the village. After reaching the village (Kaede passed away weeks ago) she held a burial for her comrades in silence and finally said her goodbyes to the fedual era. She grabbed Kilala and jumped into the well one last time. Her family had tried to be understanding, but none of them have ever experienced any pain like this.

((Flashback end)))

Finally, I allowed my body to give in to the exhaustion that it had been placed under. I blacked out, but before I blacked out completely I felt the man approach to see if I was alright. I don't know why but I feel a bond towards him. It's almost like he has experienced pain like I have. If only the people around me knew, what would they think of me then………

(A/N: Heh, sorry about the chapter being so depressing but it has an important role in my story. Well until next time, Ja!)
