They sat together under a
quiet clearing near the bone-eater’s Well. His arm wrapped around her tin waist
while she held another arm in her embrace. They gazed the stars while full moon
bathed them with its vanishing light.
He turned his golden eyes
away from the stars to the beauty he held next to him, his face softening from its
normal cold look as she shyly gave him a soft smile.
“You’re going to do the
ceremony to put the Shikon no Tama together once again, aren’t you?” He asked
soft with a hint of sadness in his voice.
“Hai, you know it’s my
duty,” She nodded as she turned her eyes away from his, not wanting him to
witness the sadness and pain she held in them.
<center><i>In the middle of the night, while
you shine with the vanishing moonlight
I'll never wake from this
dream while you hold my arm
You smiled softly, even
though you knew
The promise we made can
never be fulfilled</i></center>
“Aa,” Was all he said and
the clearing became once again quiet, neither of them wanting to speak of what
would happen when the tama would become complete for they both knew the answer
to that. Kaede, the old village miko had told them the truth of the tama and
what would happen once it was completed and wished upon.
She let stretched her hands
to the night sky as if she was trying to touch the moon and the stars, before
she yawned slightly and closing her blue eyes, falling into a light sleep.
He watched her silently as
she slept. She looked so peaceful and so beautiful that it made his heart ache
in pain as he thought what tomorrow would bring to the two of them…
<center><i>Until my voice reaches you, I'll
be here beside you
You stretched out your
hands to the night sky and stared at the moon in your palms
You're so beautiful when
you're sleeping quietly</i></center>
It was almost midnight as
they all stood in a circle on the clearing of the Bone-Eater’s well while
Kagome stood in the middle of it, dressed into a ceremony miko clothes. The
pieces of the legendary Shikon no Tama was laid on an altar made of wood.
The old village miko stood
behind the miko from the future, reading an ancient spell of purifity and
cleansing. When the older miko stopped, she gave a small nod to the younger
miko as in signal to start.
“I call you, Midoriko-sama.
The miko of The Shikon no Tama, hear me and my wish!” The young miko called
out, “I wish for you to be free and Shikon no Tama disappear from this world.
It has caused too much trouble and heartache to those near it, so I beg you to
hear my wish and grand it!”
A pinkish-blue light
surrounded the clearing, wrapping itself around the young miko from the future,
lifting her up from the ground.
“Miko Higurashi Kagome from
the distant future, is this, what you really wish?” A voice of a couple of
years older Miko called Midoriko asked as she materialized in front of Kagome.
“Hai, it is,
Midoriko-sama,” Kagome bowed.
“Very well then, I thank
you for setting me free, Kagome-sama,” The older miko bowed with a gentle smile
on her face as the light around them disappeared, landing Kagome back on earth.
She opened her eyes as she
felt a familiar, warm body holding her close, she felt tears starting to fall
in sadness as the one she loved the most pressed his lips softly against hers.
“Kagome, koishii, please
don’t cry,” He whispered softly against her lips.
“I can’t help it, I love
you too much. I fear, that I won’t see you again no matter what we promised to
each other,” She whispered, feeling his hold on her tighten a little but not
much to hurt.
“Hold me, until the morning
comes. Be with me until it’s my time to go, just don’t leave me alone, koi,”
She begged, feeling afraid.
“I’ll always be with you, Kagome-koishii.
I will spend the rest of night with you, but before that go to say your goodbye
to your friends,” He nodded.
She nodded back, unable to
say anything else in fear of her tears falling down behind her blue sorrow
filled eyes…
<center><i>I'm embracing your whole body,
pulling your face close, and I won't let go
So please don't cry, I'll
always be with you until the night brightens
Always...even if this world
rots away
Always...</i></center>
He stood there alone, at
their special place, watching as the wind gently swing the braches of the trees
around him. He felt hollow, like something was missing inside his body. His
golden eyes were filled with sadness and pain, which only skilled people
reading person could notice.
“Kagome,” He sighed along
with the wind as it played with his long hair, “I miss you… I don’t think I can
wait any longer to see you again. But, I promised to wait for you. * Sigh * Without you by my side I don’t know how to live. But, no
matter what, you continue to live in my heart,”
<center><i>I still can't laugh, even now
But, I will keep our
promise, without fail
You continue to live in my
heart
Because I won't let you
go</i></center>
He stood behind a tall tree
at the same place as he had stood over five hundreds years ago, with her. He
silently watched as a familiar young woman sat on her knees next to an old tree
that had once held a young hanyou pinned against it. The woman was praying
silently, a scent of salted tears hung around her as if she’d been crying.
He sighed quietly, feeling
a little afraid of how she would react after five years of her time, but over
five hundreds to him of not seeing each other. Would she yell at him for not
making any contact for so long? Would she be sad or happy to see him again?
Most importantly… Did she still love him as much as she had back then? He felt
his heart ache in desperate to hold her and dry her tears.
Oh, how he had watched over
her since her birth. He had watched as she had taken her first steps, had heard
her mumble her first word, had seen her sad and happy moments, all the time
wishing to hold her near, but same time feeling afraid that it would mess up
the future of his beloved.
<center><i>Please don't cry, and never lose
your way
Keep walking...always...
Even if this world rots
away</i></center>
Suddenly she stood up as if
lighting as struck on her form. She turned around, scanning the area as if she
could sense him hiding near by.
“Beloved,” Her voice is
just above a whisper for she knew if he was anywhere near, he could hear her
just fine. She waited for a few minutes but seeing no sights of her loved one.
Feeling the familiar disappointment and sadness filling her heart and soul, she
turned her gaze back to the old tree.
“Kagome,” A familiar voice
whispered behind her, making her eyes grew wild with hope. Slowly she turned
around only to come face to face with her beloved one.
“Sesshomaru, koi” She
whispered, lifting her hand to caress his soft cheek, “Are you really here, or
am I just dreaming?” She asked, feeling unsure.
“Koishii,” He lets a gentle
smile grace his face as he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly
against her, “I missed you so much, koishii… My Kagome,”
“Sesshomaru. It’s really
you! Oh, my beloved! I have missed you too,” She smiled back with so much
happiness shining in her eyes as she hugs him back.
“I kept the promise,
Kagome. I promised to a wait for you, now that I’m here I won’t never again let
you go, Koishii. Stay with me forever, as you promised me, Kagome, please,”
“Hai, Sesshomaru, my loved
one. I promise,” She smiled and brought him into a kiss full of passion and
love…
<center><i>We will surely meet again
Until the someday when we
can be reunited
Even if this world rots
away</i></center>
