I Don't Care

Chapter 1: Another Bitter End

She left him after all that they had been through. She loved him so much, but after what happened, she felt her heart breaking again. Not for the first time either, only this time it was so much more worst. She ran away again like the person that she was, tired of deluding or staying by his side to be reminded of what happened.

She flew off on the first available flight to another place, unknowing and uncaring once she got her things moved cleanly out of the apartment. She was glad for the fact that he was not there, she did not take much things, leaving things that reminded her of them behind, only the things that she treasured most.

She was gone from his life just like that and he did not notice it until the next day. He had thought her to just be away for just a few hours and coming back to confront him like how she would always do so. He searched for her, at every place that he knows she would go. Her family, unfortunately were nowhere to be in sight, nor was she reachable by phone. He was starting to panic, and to worry.

Every night he slept unease with many thoughts of them together, trying to remember her scent, her body, her everything. He missed her dearly, and regretted what he had done. He remained strong, calm and composed when regarding his work at his step-father's company, managing so many things under him as he climbed up the ladder.

There was never a time did he ever stop thinking about her, stop yearning for her. He had to remain strong and calm if he was ever going to find her, to apologies to her about everything. It was all his fault, and he screwed it up this time.

She cried for so long, so many days, flying off from location to location, never letting anyone know of where she was. It was only about a month or so later that she contacted Shippo her closest friend from long ago, five hundred plus years ago. She thought that she was able to remain compose when she talk to him, but instead broke down over the phone all over again. It just hurts too much, the crushing pain she felt surrounding her heart, as she tried to breathe properly.

He came down to her, leaving behind many things unattended to his assistant. She cried into his chest when he came, it was too much, just too much, and fell asleep while doing so. Shippo silently comforted her, as she cried into his chest. It was the most and best that he could do for all the years that he had known her, pampering him, teaching him and every bringing him up even though the time period was so short. She was at least there all the time when he needed her and he could do the same right now.

When she was deep in slumber, he carried her to the bed, tucking her in as he silently went to the other end of the room where he would not disturb her yet be able to keep an eye on her. He had to call to Sesshoumaru to tell him of what had happened, for leaving their company so suddenly and leaving everything to him.

For two weeks Shippo stayed with her before flying off again, his task of looking over Kagome was taken over by Sesshoumaru arrival, being informed on the details of her situation. He was as always with a face of indifference, dismissing Shippo with a silent nod after some strict instructions. Kagome, a priestess that he actually acknowledges now reduced to this pile of mess. Had it not been for 'love' she would not have ended up like this.

He sympathizes with her, remaining strong and silent as he sat down beside of her regarding her. They had known each other for so long and she had long ago earned his respect for her. The least he could do for her after she had saved his former human ward so many times was to help her through with her current situation, though he do admit being fond of her in a more brotherly way.

He will stand by her for now, taking turn with the fox cub to watch over her until she was strong enough. He awkwardly patted her back gently when she cried on him, telling him what happened all over again as he silently took it all in. The first was his stupid half brother, and now another kitsune. The poor miko, such a fate she had to face. Silently he shook his head at her, but it was not seen by anyone.

Poor guardian miko.

A/N: Thought I would try out something new to pass the time, and run on my creative flow. This story was created long ago, just that it was sitting there and I dug it up from my drawer one fine day. Enjoy, tell me how it is.
