Catalyst

by Fyuu

She was a catalyst for change, created for the sole purpose of bringing it about. And seeing that young boy and knowing what fate had dictated as his path, her heart could not help but bleat for he who saw things so clearly in black and white. And so she chooses to be a catalyst one last time… perhaps changing her own fate in the process. Kagome/Shinobu Sensui Drabble Story.

"May I inquire something of you?"

Blue eyes danced laughingly at him, and Shinobu found himself surprised at the changes in the spirit woman as she seemed to become more and more like her living self. "Was that not a question in and of itself?" She laughed lightly when he made a face. "Go on then ask your question."

"Why do you never say good bye?"

"An odd question." She murmured quietly while thinking of her answer. "Saying good bye… it has such finality to it. As if… as if admitting that as we part ways never again will we meet , by not saying good bye-"

"You leave the promise of seeing each other once more, hanging in the air." He nodded absentmindedly to himself, not noticing the beaming smile sent towards him. "As odd as my question was, is it not stranger still that someone longing for the final embrace cannot even bring herself to give her final farewells?"

Thoughtful blue eyes blinked once more.
