A Little Too Late
~ Chapter Fourteen ~
Of Broken Hearts, With Torn Souls, Taken By Distant Lies
By Inuyashas Youkai
No I can't take one more step towards you...
Cause all that's waiting is regret.
Don't you know that I'am not your ghost anymore.
You've lost the love I loved the most.
You learn to live half a life.
Now you you want me one more time.
And whom do you think you are,
Running 'round leaving scars.
Collecting your jar of hearts ,
And tearing love apart.
Your going to catch a cold,
from the inside inside your soul..
Once each one thrown back towards the dark abyss they each knew , back to existing only as a flicker of oblivious glow near that of another . No longer did they know of what they where pulled towards one another , in a different form ,or of what they once knew to be true , before a different pull , tugged hard on only one , and leaving the other to be alone till the prior was returned to it. The one seemingly being dragged away didn't like what it was forcifully drawn to , as it was a reminder of what it one was in a different time , and a separate place altogether, but also had a connection like it with the light presently with it , for that was felt.
A moment later the light the entity once was , was no longer as it had emerged into the form it had at one time taken , and now looking at itself , well.. At least a form of what the soul it presently carried once was. For at the moment Kagome was looking at Kikyo, pained eyes seeking the blank expression held within the prior. Before either spoke a passing of understanding took place within the pre-carnation for the one passing after her, and without her knowledge carried with her , pity as well as her hatred for the one still siding with the strands of time, at least for now.
" Kagome..."
"Kikyo.."
"Why am I here..?"
" I brought you here.. "
" But why ?"
Because you and I are not all that different , and yet at the same time we are. Before you fight me against this I will tell you. You may not have become what the path carried in life made, but you have indeed followed the path I started, so long ago. "
"I don't understand"
"Kagome, you have followed the path , but that road hasn't bled cold as it had done to the precurser to what you stand to be now, as what our soul was meant to be . You face death with nothing holding you in this life , but love for the one's you risk leaving when you part from this world. "
"Alright , so.."
"So maybe it will be with you that this nightmare lasting more than 500 yrs from which you were destined to fall into the past to correct my failing , will end , instead of with me doing it the first time . Our soul will finally be at rest because of you , and maybe one day we will be at peace. "
"Is this what you brought me here for is to tell me what I already know!"
"No.. Not exactly all, only part , but did want to you know that I realize this myself, and to tell you this, and there is something else that you should know. I 'am going to assist you in your path , but you need to remember that Naraku still remains in control of my form made from old bones with graveyard soul, and containing only the part of the spirit that harbors the hatred from being the half life that still exist. "
"Assist me , how?"
"I will give you back the soul in which I had inadvertently stolen from you, when I had been resurrected by the witch Erasue, and Inuyasha had spoken my name so long ago. "
" Yea but .."
" But nothing , it will end the separation, and torment within Inuyasha's soul . Before I was brought back from the dead Inuyasha was healing because of you , and had forgiven me , letting go of the hatred emerging in him for the path set against us by Naraku. "
"Yes , but I am afriad it won't change anything I will still die , Kikyo , in due time I won't be anything, and simply won't exist , tho if you remained at least it would be something. "
" No , it wouldn't I would be stuck in the existence I hate more than I do you , or the ones who follow the strands of time. Although there is a way , Kagome, but only the soul that is you can achive it because of what you are, and stand to be, you have a choice. "
" And how's that , I'am dying to hear this one, literally."
"Become the one that's waiting to be born again "
