Light Me A Lantern
Chapter 39
Rating: T
Pairing: Inuyasha/Kagome
Summary: Picking up the pieces after being separated for three years isn’t as easy as it may seem. A quiet, burning kind of chaos sweeps through Feudal Japan, and it’s going to take a lot more than a fairy tale ending to put things back together. They defeated a man who would become the Devil. Can they survive a man who would become a God?
It was enough to say that the power of the vortex was overwhelming. That as it spiraled down from the sky, a maelstrom of pure and unrelenting energy, just being near it sizzled into Inuyasha’s skin. That just being near it burned, but he bared the searing heat of it as Kagome held Masao in place. It was enough to say that her light was blinding. That the lilac and the crimson and the pale blue all burned up together until all he could see was white. It was enough to say that the wind tore at him, that the roar of the dragon rang in his ears, that as he came soaring down through the centre of the Yoki with the force of a falling star the finality of it all came down to the edge of his blade. All of that was enough to overwhelm Inuyasha, the poignant moment narrowing into this single act, and more than enough to say that he could hardly absorb what was happening.
But what Inuyasha could not comprehend in that moment was the way this would all end.
It took me seven years to get here. I feel a little bit like I’m dreaming. Let me tell you right now - it was all worth it. Sincerely hope you all enjoy.
