The kids always threw rocks at her

for being friends with him

they never understood

what the two of them had.

 

He would try and stand up

to them

but he was the runt of his litter

and always was pelted with the rocks

same as she.

 

Together the two of them grew

and he cared for her,

she was the one that held him

when his mother died.

 

She was the one that

calmed him down

when Inuyasha was born,

his rage at his father an undying flame.

 

She was the one that told him

not to worry

when she lay on the sick bed,

dying with every breath she took.

 

He didn't understand

what was going on,

she looked as she always had,

beautiful, and breathtaking.

 

He couldn't see

her broken heart,

couldn't tell he was the one

tearing it apart.

 

He didn't know,

couldn't tell that the wishful

looks he saw on her face,

were indeed for him.

 

He thought they were

for the strong and handsome farm boy

down the road.

 

So he blocked off his heart

secretly breaking hers apart.

 

He never knew,

he never saw

his own greatest flaw.

 

Not showing her his love

that he should have,

but he just couldn't

see

that she was dying

from a broken heart.

 

When all was said and done

she didn't die from any rock

and she was the first one that

made his secretive heart break.

 

Every full moon

he was at her grave,

doing as he should have

when she was alive.

 

“Kagome, how I hold you dear

but now your gone,

and I do fear

that I will be following soon.”

 

The sun was at half-past noon

and the wind sent her message

straight to him.

 

“I love you too,

but don't you make the same mistake as I

live your life,

as this really isn't goodbye.”

 

Feeling a reserve he didn't know he had

he got up,

and went away.

 

He knew she wanted,

no needed him to live

he would do so

but only because it was her who wished it.
