Chapter 27

Allen's P.O.V.

The whole taxi ride to her shrine was the slowest and most excruciating wait in my whole entire life. Maybe it was because the pure fact that I was wishing that the taxi driver could drive faster that time decided that it should torture me with my brain recognising every second that went past which in turn, made it seem longer than it should have seemed.

The bright lights from the skyscrapers and street lamps flash past us, (us being the taxi driver and I) and it reminds me that how much I've changed in these past few months. I've gone from a demon killer to that casual teenage boy with relationship problems. Sometimes I wish I could just take back time and make sure this never happened because I know that when I go back to my real home that everything will be different. Lavi and Lenalee could be married for all I know. The Earl and the Noah clan could have taken over, with me going to a different era and a different world; I could have changed everything.

The taxi driver shouts out that we've stopped so I rush out of the yellow car after handing him the fare. As with the drive here, walking up the steps seems longer than expected. A sudden glimpse of a certain red dress catches my eye urging me to hurry up and catch her. I know it seems stupid coming all this way to run after her but as some people say, "You'd do anything for love". She probably doesn't love me back.

By now I am at least 20 meters away from her and am catching up fast. The sound of a door sliding open enters my ears and I'm running faster than ever to catch up to her before she does what I know she will do. Those doors weren't to her house but to the well that takes you 500 years back.

Kagome is just about to jump when I catch her arm. I look into her eyes and see they are red and puffy from crying. Mascara has run down her cheeks but she still looks beautiful to me.

"What are you doing?" She shouts at me.

"You can't go!" I shout back .

"Yes I can," She says softly, "I have to and nothing you say can change my mind."

"But you can't leave me." I protest.

"You don't belong here, you need to go back to wherever you came from."

"What about us? What about everything we've been through? Did that all mean nothing?"

"It's what's best for both of us."

"No. Kagome I need you in my life."

"I wish it were the same for me but we aren't meant for each other. We're from two very different worlds, Allen."

"So? Don't people say that love conquers all? Huh?"

"Love?" Whoops. I didn't mean to say that. It just slipped out.

"Yeah. Kagome I love you and I need you in my life, I don't know when I knew this but I know now that I need you and I know that you need me to."

"No. No I don't." Those just ripped my heart into pieces, put it back together and then just smashed it again. Her eyes are boring down into mine begging me to let her go but I stand my ground. I can't lose her a second time. Not again. Even though I was the one to end things I know it was one of the worst mistakes of my life.

"I can see it in your body language, you eyes, the way you look at me and how happy you get when you see me and how sad you get when you see me with another girl that you need me to and that you love me to. There is no point denying it." I tell he desperately.

"I'm sorry Allen, but I have to go," She says in almost a whisper.

"I love you too." Is all she says before she rips her arm from my grip and jumps into the well.

"No!" I yell, but it's no use as I see her falling down into the magic that takes her back 500 years into the past.

"No. No, no, no, no." I say while pacing around the small room with my hands dug into the roots of my white hair.

Suddenly an idea strikes my mind and I walking in long stride to the well again. One hand on the smooth wooden exterior and a little jump lead me to follow after her into the black abyss.

The magic swirling around my arms and legs remind me how different I really am. My arm begins to itch and I realise that it's my anti-akuma weapon 'itching' to get back into action. I must be close to home. Like what Kagome said, "Where I belong".

Suddenly I'm standing back in the well that's 500 years younger. Slowly I climb the ladder getting closer to the blue sky peeking in between flower filled trees. Ivy is trapped down on the walls and little flowers get squashed on the ladder where my hand goes to bring me closer to holding Kagome in my arms.

Finally my head peeks up from the side of the well and I'm greeted with a fresh breeze of the spring air. Once I'm out of the well completely I walk around for a few minutes getting my bearings and hopefully to catch a glimpse of Kagome or even one of her friends.

The chirps of the birds lead me further into the forest of harmful weeds and beautiful roses.

A scream pierces my ears from far into the looming trees. I run in search of the voice that could be Kagome's. Dusk has fallen already and a chill runs up my spine as the temperature drops dramatically from lack of sunlight.

A body lies on the floor and I run to it as quick as I can. Her hair fans out around her head and her arms cover her stomach, which I notice where she has been inflicted with a wound bloody and gruesome.

Her dark green hair is covered in dirt and her forehead is sweaty from fighting whatever demon attacked her. I look at her face and see the plump lips that I had longed to have on mine for so long.

My heart skips a beat and my hand goes up to my mouth to cover the loud gasp that slipped past my lips.

No.

This can't be happening.

No.

I refuse to believe this.

My Lenalee is not lying here before me unconscious with a wound that looks fatal.

My Lenalee is not lying here because I am not back home with my best friend dying right in front of me.

My Lenalee is not lying here because I am not about to about to call for help to save her.

My Lenalee is lying here because, to put it simply God has decided to punish me for leaving my friends and selfishly falling in love which shouldn't have been possible with a girl that is literally out of my world.
