Meine Reise
to point to a small forest." I am not allowed to go any further because Mama says it is closed is dangerous. She should be behind the forest. Don't worry, it's not very big. Unfortunately I have to go again! Until next time! "With these words she smiles one more friendly and then runs back. I don't know if you noticed, but she looks a lot like her father. I hardly knew him, but when she stepped out of the hut I got him back immediately recognized.
Now we go through the forest and come out again at the other end. The sun is shining towards us. I blink and then look around: A small meadow with lots of flowers, yellow flowers. I think they are Sango's favorite flowers, but I don't know. We slowly approach the person who is crouching on the edge of the meadow and whispering softly. "Sango?"She winces and turns around. Then she smiles. I sat down next to her, sit down too!"
“How are you?” She turns back to the small tombstones next to her. "I'm fine. I buried my brother and Miroku after the fight and have lived peacefully with my daughter ever since. Do you know her already?" She looks at me. "Yes, she told me where you are. She is friendly and looks a lot like her father." Sango smiles sadly and nods. “It helped me a lot. Without it, I would probably have given up.” She bows her head and then looks back at the stones. I also turn to them. It gets quiet. Only the birds chirp in the meadow and the trees rustle in the wind. It's very peaceful here and I'm happy for Sango. After enduring so much suffering, she can finally live a happy life. Even if this happiness is sad happiness.
We sit there for a long time, but we still have a long way to go and unfortunately we have to go again.“Sango, it was nice to see you again.” She smiles again. I'm glad to see her smile and think of Inuyasha. "I was at Inuyasha's a few days ago. He's fine, even if he's changed." Her smile fades. "That's nice to hear, I haven't seen him in a long time. I was a little worried about him. Has he changed a lot?" I nod sadly. You look at me and your look tells me that you are also thinking about our trip again. Yes, we should move on slowly. I get up and Sango gets up too. “Come and visit me again when you have time!” I nod again, smile at her friendly and then turn around. Come on, let's move on. Our next destination will be Musashi village, it is very close. I see that you are happy. This village was the beginning of the many adventures of a small group of people who couldn't be more different. Many stories are told about these heroes and I am glad that I got to know them when they inseparably roamed the country protecting people.Yes, those were good times. Follow me and I will lead you to the origin of these stories.
Soon we will have reached the village, it won't be long. We go around a bend and see the first small huts. We can also visit Kagome if you want. Yes, the girl who started it all. She was the one who united the group and everything ended with her, because it was she who destroyed Naraku in the end. Are you looking forward to it? I haven't visited her for a long time because I've been on the road a lot and I'm glad to finally be here again. We walk towards a hut in front of which an old woman, a miko, is sitting. She's aged a lot, but I'm sure you will recognize her anyway. “Hello, Kaede!” She doesn't answer, she just looks at me in silence. Her gaze is strangely empty and sad. “She hasn't said anything for a long time!” A young man emerges from the hut. His big eyes look at me suspiciously, but then he smiles.I almost didn't recognize him because he was much smaller than the last time I saw him. "Hello, Shippo. It's nice to see you again! How are you?" He comes up to me and gives me a friendly hug. “Thanks, I'm fine and you?” I nod gently and turn back to Kaede. “What about her?” He looks at her too and his smile is sad. "I think it was too big a shock for her. She couldn't quite take it. It took me a long time to do it, but I had to pull myself together. I realized that I couldn't be a child anymore than everyone had left, because now there was a great responsibility on me. I had to look after the village. Over time I learned to deal with the death of my family. "
His family ... Yes, he once trusted me. You know what I mean don't you? It could not be overlooked that he has always found Kagome like a mother. She always mothered him too! And the rest of the small group then automatically fitted into his family picture over time, especially Inuyasha.He'd never admitted it, but Inuyasha had grown dear to his heart and it had probably hurt him the most of all when Inuyasha just disappeared without saying anything, without saying goodbye ...
Shippo is called and says goodbye. You will still have the opportunity to talk to him later, when our journey is over, if you want. Unless you wanna stay here? But come with me first, we're going to visit Kagome!
We stroll slowly through the village and soon come to a large meadow. You look around. I already know what you're looking for, but you won't find it. The well was destroyed so that no one could ever use it again. After Naraku's death, no one had any use for him. And Kagome? Well, you'll see that soon. Let's move on, it's not far anymore.
We enter the small forest where Inuyasha was banned many years ago. You already guessed it, right? Our destination is the Goshinboku, the tree where it all began.Someone is kneeling in front of the tree. “Who is there?” I slowly step into the clearing and try to recognize the person. You already recognized him, right? He jerks around and jumps up. "Kouga! What are you doing here?" I smile at him and he returns the smile sadly. You look past him and see a tombstone next to the tree. Yes it is. Inuyasha buried her here back then. It was her last wish that she would stay in this era. In the end they found each other and were separated from each other so quickly. I will never forget this scene ...
Naraku was badly weakened, but everyone else was exhausted too. Inuyasha, Kouga and Sesshomaru were passed out, Miroku and Kohaku were dead and Sango could no longer fight. She had collapsed in despair over the dead bodies of her small family. Naraku's last opponent fought bravely until the end, but when she shot her last arrow, he was fatally wounded by him before he disappeared forever, with a cruel laugh.Inuyasha had struggled towards her and was crying desperately. That picture was terrible. She told him her last wish and I quietly heard her last words ... "Inuyasha, I love you!" ... He had persuaded her to stay with him and that he loved her too. He was sorry that he hadn't told her earlier, but when he noticed that she was getting weaker and weaker and slowly realized that he could no longer save her, he had kissed her. I didn't understand then why he did that, why they both smiled when she died, but now I know. They were happy for that one moment. It was their moment, the beginning of their boundless affection for one another. It was the last time she closed her eyes, the last time she gave him her warm smile, the last time she said his name ... the last time she took her last breath.
I look at you. You look sad, but I can understand that very well.These memories make me very sad too. I step past Kouga to the tombstone and motion you to follow me. There is only one word on the stone: Kagome
Yes, nothing more did fit on the stone, because what her family members had to say about her was too much. They all have their last words to this great Miko in their hearts and so do I too. She has always been a good friend to me, probably my best. Of course, I never had many friends.
Now I notice the flowers that are in front of the stone. “Did you put that there?” Kouga winces again. "No, that was probably Inuyasha. He often comes here at night. I'm here almost every day." His voice is broken and sad. He hasn't been as cheerful as usual since her death. He had lost many important people, but it was different with Kagome. He had loved her above all else. I'm sorry, but I can't stay here long. This place brings up too many memories and I actually wanted to finish with that.Let's go on. "Kouga, thank you for taking care of her grave. I will go again now. I hope to see you again soon!"
We continue south and leave the village behind. Don't turn around, it'll just cause more pain. It took a lot of effort to come back here, but you don't just let me down either, you stay with me! I want to thank you again for that. I haven't been able to ask many questions yet because the people we met couldn't have answered my questions.
Now we are getting deeper and deeper into the south. I stop at a lake and sit on the grass. I think about what questions to ask when I find him. Do you have any questions too? Well, I hope I have answered all of them so far. I am startled. Wasn't there something behind us? Maybe you'd better hide! Now it's too late and there was nowhere to hide anyway.I hope our trip doesn't end here without answering my questions.
Someone steps out of the bushes and I smile, relieved and pleased at the same time. My search and our journey is now actually over, because we were found by the person we were looking for. I look into the yokai's eyes. For a brief moment they are cold and confused. Maybe he doesn't recognize me! It's been so long. “Sesshomaru!” His eyes widen and his gaze softens. Then suddenly he smiles happily. I had never seen him like this before.
At that time he sent me away and left. He was just gone and I was alone again. That's why I was mad at him. I reproached him for a long time until I understood it. He was afraid of losing me because he saw his brother bury Kagome. But I had so many questions for him and now, after so long, I was finally able to ask them. I'll give you a sign, wait here for me.Then I walk slowly towards him. I almost run the last few steps and then jump
