How Come


Hiding her face in her pillow, the small frame shook with sobs. Having hid herself from others so she could think, the young women had ended up crying. She always did this, she did this so much anymore she considered it routine.

How come she didn’t say something to him? How come she allowed him to break her so? How come she put up with it? How come......... How come he always went back to ‘HER’.

Clutching to her covers tightly, the young raven haired maiden cried softly once more as was her routine. Her routine..... try to get over it, over it all and everything. Her routine...... cry for him and curse him under the same breathe.

A small voice made her stop dead silent. Turning over slightly, there she saw both her youngest and oldest child. Her little girl, Memory, was hold on to her older brother Soshi’s leg. Both were looking to her with wonder and question in their eyes.

Wiping at her eyes quickly, the young women put on the best smile she could at the time. Opening her arms, both her babies came into them. Hugging them tightly, she spoke not a word. Instead she settled for rocking both children back and forth while trying to keep the tears at bay.

“Mommy.... why do you cry so much?”

She wished so much she could tell her little girl why, but she kept quite not wanting to ruin the child’s innocence. After a long pause, she finally found something to say. Speaking softly as her son whipped the tears that had managed to leak, she tightened her grip on them both.

“Mommy doesn’t know how come she cries.... she just needs to sometimes.”

Again questions flooded her mind. How come she lied to her babies each time they found her in this state? How come her children never asked questions such as how come? How come they were the ones there for her, instead of the man..... no, the hanyou that was suppose to be? How come...... How come....

Something inside her snapped. Seeing her babies so worried for her, she couldn’t stand it. Standing with both her children in her arms, she began to walk slowly to the door. From there she walked out into what was their happy little homes yard. Then from their she kept walking.

Within the dead of the night she heard a scream as she marched on. Not even fazed by the sound of her lovers name being yell into the silent night air. With her young Memory on her right hip clutching to her with her small hands, and her older Soshi on her left placing his feet down to walk beside her. She could hear the screaming getting louder and louder as she neared ‘their tree’.

‘How come.....’

She felt both children’s hold on her tighten the more the screams grew.

‘You always go back to her?’

The screams died down and soon there was just the sound of the young miko walking on.

‘How come.....’

The miko walked on still, never wavering in her step as she passed the tree that brought them together and that was right then tearing them apart.

‘You don’t seem to see how much I love you?’

Even with the darkness everywhere, she could still make out the well so clearly. Knowing every detail about it by heart from a many a travel through it. Clutching to her children tighter as they neared it, she never stopped walking forward.

‘How come.....’

Not even a few steps more away from the old well the young miko only did stop once she heard her name not even a whisper in the night wind.

‘I’m always second best?’

Turning slowly around to face the direction she came from, there she saw the man she loved so much and held so dear. His eyes so full of emotion, it spilt out into the darkness. The emotion she saw the most.... the one she thought had stop coming her way, was love.

“Kagome.....”

‘How come.....’

“Inuyasha....”

‘Your eyes look to me that way even after what you’ve done?’

Kagome’s voice was as just as low as that of the man she held so dear. The only difference being her’s cracked from crying. Though her eyes held the same look as his.

‘How come.....’

When Inuyasha took his first step toward her, Kagome began to take tentative steps back, getting closer to the old well that held the portal to her world. At the look of fear that came across his face, she couldn’t help the fresh tears that fled from her eyes.

Both her children not understanding but understanding in the same, only clung to their mother. Soshi being older staring at his father with confused eyes full of questions. Memory hiding her face in her mother’s hair, not understanding the pain of emotion in the darkened air.
Feeling the well at the back of her legs, Kagome still didn’t break the eye contact her and Inuyasha shared. Watching as the emotion in his eyes became more frantic and full with fear.

“Kagome?”

‘How come.....’

At hearing how desperate his voice sounded to her ears, Kagome still didn’t break the contact their eyes held. No, if possible she stared harder into his frightened golden orbs.

‘I’ve never found the courage to do this before?’

“I’m sorry... Inuyasha....”

Tears flew more freely down her soft porcelain face as she turned in the frozen time. Seeing her love’s eyes wide and even more frantic as he ran that once short distance to the well from the forest edge. All she did was pick up her son..... and take that step, with no Jewel to let him pass or allow her to come back...... She took that step, it was all she had to do.

“KAGOMEEE!!!”

Turning her head to look up at the forest above her getting smaller the further down she went, she seen him jumping in the well after her. She didn’t believe it when his hand brushed hers, she didn’t want to, but all the same she knew.... She would be at home in his arms by tomorrow.

‘How come....’

Inuyasha held her close to his chest at the bottom of the well, both his children caught in the middle of his embrace. Kagome couldn’t move, she willed her self not to. Not to hold him back, to remember what she knew he’d been doing. Inuyasha’s tears touched down on her skin like fire.

Her will broke.

Bringing her arms up to hold him as close as he was her, her tears joined his and soon both their bodies were racked with sobs. Between his sobs, Kagome could hear him chanting over and over “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” Crying more each time he chanted, Inuyasha brought his head back to look down into Kagome’s eyes. Leaning slowly in to kiss her soft lips, he could see his reflection in her eyes.

He saw a broken man looking back at him, but not only did he see a broken man... but he saw a broken women as well. When his lips met hers in kiss that was full of the emotion from them both, he saw a broke man and women’s wounds slowly starting to repair.

Pulling back, Kagome and Inuyasha both held a smile. Both knowing the others unspoken words. His promise of a lesson learned, and never doing that again. Her promise of understanding and trust, and too never doing that again.

‘How come.....I’ll always love him?’

How long had came and ended..... How come....... had just done the same.
