As the sun set in the west, the sky blazed of red and yellow, calling out to its maker in its defiance of its kindred. No wind blew and no noise was heard from the world, but the deaf defining steps of a girl that walked over the silent ground that cussed at her. Blackness whipped and whirled about her as the world was on the break of death and its own internal core was breaking down to find the at the true meaning of life was nothing but a mystery. Darkness was her and she was the darkness that the children of the world hide from under the sheet of their beds, with their eyes closed hoping not to see the true horror that life was.

Red. A flash of red burred before her and the thought of who it was didn't cross her mind……not once. Waking her up, was not a thought nor, should anyone try it, for no one could save her from the nothingness that she had become. Tears laden her face and pain filled her heart as the memory played over and over before her eyes.

"Inuyasha, have you chosen that copy over me?"

"No!"

"……"

"I love you Kikyo, I don't love her, I would never chose her over you!!"

The image of the two holding one another burned a hold in her mind; a place to bury itself, so it could replay again and again.

"She's nothing to me."

He had whispered it against Kikyo's neck as they held one another.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice invaded into her mind, "Kagome, where are you going?"

"I would never chose her over you."

"Kagome!" his voice braking her thoughts, only got the cold, blank stare of the girl.

"I don't love her."

"Kagome, we have to talk." he replied placing himself in front of her, stopping her from continuing forward. Inside he knew that she had seen him and Kikyo in the forest together……had heard what he had said. Kagome's eyes fell away from him, letting the darkness that wanted to consume her heart take over as the pain was to great to push away.

"She's nothing to me."

She didn't want to talk to him……why would he want to talk to someone that was, but nothing to him……

"Nothing."

The tears burst forth over her cheeks and the pain took over completely and the hatred that had waited in silence had now set in.

How can you see into my eyes,

Like open doors

Leading you down into my core


Where I've become so numb……

**Okay, what do you guys think of this one? I wrote it while listening to Bring me to life. I guess……whatever works, right? Well, R&R!!!**
