Just a random fic I wrote as a change of pace. And as an apology for being lazy and not updating any of my other stories from other fandoms for such a long time.

Turn Back
His sensitive nose caught the scent of blood. Fresh blood. But that wasn't all… He knew where that blood had come from.
He knew whose blood it was.
He followed the scent for a few long paces, and found what he had already known would be there. And then he turned, starting towards the opposite direction.
When he stopped.
Perhaps it was the way she had acted as though she cared, or perhaps it was that naïve, innocent smile. But something in him told him to turn back…
And he did.
Gracefully, he took out his sword from its sheath. The sword which he thought he would never use.
Until now.
Elegantly, he swiped it once.
And that was enough.
The once-lifeless figure stirred. Vacant eyes returned into reality.
Not looking back, he started forwards again. And then, the sound of two more little feet followed behind.
He was one of few words, fewer smiles. And those rare smiles of his were of everything but joy. That word did not exist in his world. It was blocked out by the icy wall which surrounded his heart. A barrier which kept Love out and Hatred in. The permanent wall which Circumstance and Time had steadily built over the years.
It was too late now to undo what had already been done.
Yet from that day on, there was a new note in his harsh voice, a sparkle in his seemingly emotionless eyes. He himself did not realize that. Nobody else was able to hear or see them either.
Yet they were still there.
So... Did that turn out okay as my first Inuyasha fanfic? Thanks for reading! Please review if you liked it!
