I had taken her so close to my heart, I had always loved her, always….
Even when I didn't want her, she has always held me, comforted me since she could.I felt the floor against my knees, no ... I fell on the floor, I couldn't hold myself anymore, everything pulled me down. I had Inuyasha now, as a support, but I had lost another support ...
I had forgiven him a long time ... even before Kikyou explained to me what it was that was beating in his chest instead of his heart.
This Naraku ... even in death he manages to divide us ...
I hit the floor with my fist, immediately suppressing the pain. It wasn't until a short time later that I wiped away my tears. Almost at the same time I heard the rustling of the leaves. In my heart I knew exactly who it was that was coming through the leaves.
I immediately tried to hide my tears.
"Kagome ..." came his soft voice. It was already too late, he had noticed what was wrong with me. I gently raised my head. I only glanced at him briefly, but when I saw the red shimmer, my gaze was drawn again as if magically.I stared at him. I just stared at him, he looked just like before. That red suikan he was wearing. It felt like time was going backwards.
I caught my gaze on his face. It had changed, its features were different. He seemed more mature than then, much more mature, and his eyes showed sadness ... sadness that I didn't want to understand.
"" Do ... do you have to go? "; I stammered to myself. I didn't want to leave him out again. No, not now, when I felt so lost, but his silence already betrayed that he was here for that very reason. but I didn't know where or why, everything was hidden from me, I felt so cast out, so left behind.
Before I knew it I jumped up, jumped towards him. My fingers stiffened in his suikan. My face followed soon, I couldn't let go of him so easily, I had waited so long, too long and now should I let go of him again?I couldn't do that, no, not now, what should I do without him?
I felt the warm hands that lay on my back. They were so warm, so comforting, but I still didn't want to let go of him, no, not again, what if something happened to him, if this time maybe I really didn't see him again?
"Kagome ..." he breathed into my ear, it sounded sad but also determined. I knew exactly that he would never take me with him, he always wanted to protect me, always and that had certainly not changed. His words told me, which is why I didn't ask.
I sniffed when I felt his hands slide off my back.
He pushed me in front of him to study me with his sunny golden eyes, he clenched his mouth in a smile. He didn't smile at all, I knew that, but he tried anyway, just because of me ...
"Kagome ..." he began again softly. "…I will come back!I promise you, I'll be back and not at some point ... "
I tried to trust his words, to find confirmation in his eyes for the truthfulness of those words. It took a long time, but then I nodded. I ignored the tears that had formed again in the corner of my eye ... they were no longer important ...
He took a few steps back. It seemed just as difficult for him as it was for me, maybe even harder ...
I closed my eyes and took a short breath, when I opened them again, he was already gone ...
It felt like a dream again, but this time I felt his warm hands still on my shoulder ... and heard his warm words in my ears ...
My Inu Yasha ... I had you again ... but please come back quickly ... to me ...
