Last Moments of Peace
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did, I wouldn't have to use my brother's computer because mine keeps crashin' on my for no other reason than to drive me insane.
"Kagome?" A black-haired girl looked up to face a blonde man in a white coat with flames imprinted on the bottom. Worried blue eyes watched her as he walked over. "Are you alright? You've been… depressed today." Kagome smiled sadly at him and patted the ground beside her.
The blonde sat and loosely wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'm fine, Arashi, just worried." The miko leaned into the Yondaime's hold and watched the sun lower. "The Kyuubi is destroying everything, and I know you're going to fight it soon…" Her eyes started to water and she furiously tried to wipe the tears away.
Arashi sighed and pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and setting his head on her shoulder; he knew that this was hard for her, she had already been through a lot with the jewel, Inuyasha's betrayal and everything. Kagome held back a sob and stared into the west. "If you die, I'll never forgive you, you know that, right?"
The Hokage remained silent but tightened his hold on her. The jutsu he had been researching to defeat the Kyuubi was a complicated seal, and he knew that it would take his life. "I'll never forgive you, but…" He glanced over and saw the tears streaming down her face. "I'll never stop loving you…"
She placed her head in her hands in an attempt to hide her tears, even if he had already seen them. Arashi turned her around and pushed her head into his chest, letting her cry into his robes. "Sh… It'll be okay; you'll be fine." He flinched when a stronger sob wracked through her body. He couldn't lie to her, and she knew that he hadn't included himself in the statement.
"Kag, I hate seeing you like this…" They both knew that he really wanted to say 'I don't want my last time with you to be like this.' She calmed down anyway but still clung to him as if her life depended on it.
They sat together for the rest of the night, neither know what the next day could bring, but both content to spend the last moments of peace together.
AN: Sad, I know, but that's what came out. Drabble, oh yeah. XD Thank you for reading and please leave a review maybe a request!
Coming up: Deidara and Kagome, Gaara and Kagome, Kiba and Kagome, Shikamaru and Kagome, Sasori and Kagome. Not all of these are actual couples, some of them are just friendship drabbles.
Some of you have asked for a sequel to In The West, and I have two ideas for it, so please vote on them.
1. All of Akatsuki froze as they felt the pure killing intent flooding around them; it was like nothing they had ever felt before. Inside her 'prison', Kagome's head shot up, eyes wide and lips moving in a silent word. "Sesshomaru..."
2. Itachi held Kagome's small body to his as he ran. They were finished; Akatsuki as defeated and scattered. He and a few of the others, namely Tobi, Deidara and Hidan had survived and agreed to meet somewhere, but they didn't know where they wouldn't be caught. Kagome had spoken up then, whispering faintly from having been drained saving them all from Oto. "West... as far West as you can go... follow the sunset..."
Again, please vote and I'll write whichever one wins. I also have a few idea for others, such as a Juugo and Kagome, but I don't know enough about Juugo to really write about him; if you want to tell me about him, please do so I can get the idea on paper before I loose it.
