Disclaimer: The series Inuyasha does not belong to me in any way, shape, or form.
Rated for: Graphic imagery.
Authorial Notes: Something very short I typed up while feeling listless and inadequate. Various tenses are used – ON PURPOSE. It makes it even more vague than it woulda been anyway, and, according to Kei's Fanfiction Theorum, VAGUE /equals/ COOL. And the pairing is MirokuKagome, one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this. I find I rather love it to bits.

Ten years from now her seemingly barren womb conceived. Several months before the birth her husband dies and she miscarried, her dreams and hopes and loves are curdling between her legs and bloodying the floor.
The well gobbles her bones but never digests so will vomit her back into a bygone time where demons roamed freely and magic was commonplace.
She weeps and wept and mumbled her madness into outer space, and can grasp nothing but her own nothingness and slept in it like a chrysalis from which she'll never emerge.
Blind vagabond thoughts wander over aging priestesses and demon fox children who don't understand but wanted to.
In her vertebrae she suddenly remembers a void like a greedy maw and how she longed for its mercy.
Bare feet stumbled as she searches for him of charm and fatalistic sanctity. She will wonder about his progeny, for his children are beautiful with that bereaved exterminator.
Mind paper-thin she found him and how he dwells alone in a secluded temple, where he prayed for the spirits of the dead. She will ask him why and he answered that the girl is gone and was gone before she was even born.
She whispers her own pain, but refused sympathy, will ask for his mercy and is refused.
Not understanding she wept again and again. He says she ought to try again. Happiness was not unachievable. Pain dulls with time.
Besides, has not the hole been sealed for a number of years?
A husk, she asked him to give her all the unborn children rooted in his fingertips and he complies without much argument.
When they are older, her children understood their mother will be ever lost in mind and their father will be ever lost in her, which was a most tragic predicament.
And someplace after infinity's end she finds him and murmured her deepest love and gratitude and will wish her insanity never is. He smiles and forgave and ambled along with her into something else.
