RUBY EYES
Prologue
It had happened again. He had chosen that woman instead of her.
But this time was different.
Their lives were at stake and he had preferred to save someone whose heart was no longer beating before her.
And what hurt her most was that he had not even bothered to look at her.
The nasty being that kept her captive spoke a few words at the half demon who was now at a safe distance with the priestess in his arms.
Or so she believed.
Why did she think that but didn't confirm the situation herself?
Well, for the simple fact that her senses had been completely blocked by the poison that was ravaging her body.
She couldn't hear or smell anything and felt no pain.
She could only see how the events were going on without being able to give an opinion and see clearly for herself..
At a moment, she felt how the atmosphere around her, heavy and not very tolerable before, became more lighter.
By directing her gaze to the place where he and her friends were, she noted his surprised face, which then changed into one of horror.
She didn' understand why he was showing such amazement .
A few minutes before had been only a few steps away from her when he went to save the other woman and had not shown any reaction.
Now he looked terrified instead.
The person who had captured her, apparently resumed conversation with her peers. He seemed to be laughing at them.
But still she didn't know what he was saying, just looked blankly.
A few seconds after what seemed like the end of the alleged conversation, she felt her chest and belly burn.
It felt like thousands of needles breaking her pale skin, she thought.
She wasn't so mistaken.
The extensions of that being had pierced her body and although it was assumed that she felt nothing due to the poison, pain was present there.
Those things were soon removed from her body slowly,her skin stretching slightly with the exiting needles, clinging onto the demon's appendages before giving up and the skin settled back to her form.
A red and hot liquid began to emerge from her wounds ... blood.
She coughed and a red thin trickle slipped down the left side of her mouth.
Her head, feeling heavy, fell gently and she squinted.
Her vision began to blur, all she could see was the ground and a big red blob that was supposedly her uniform.
She felt pulled up an her body was free when what that kept her caught, disappeared.
The impact force of gravity causing her to start to fall.
She spotted a turbulent river that ran a few meters below and guessed that she probably would fall there, the course of direction wasn't changing after all.
She saw him running toward her, the woman had stayed lying on the floor in the care of his friends. The man who had thrown her prevented her advance.
He shouted something that she acknowledged by the movement of his lips, her name.
His eyes betrayed a tremendous despair apparently addressed to her.
However she was no longer affected by the situation.
There was nothing wrong with death. If she died her physical and emotional suffering would end and that was the what she wanted most at those moments.
Besides he had already chosen and she had no right to claim anything that wasn't true. After all she was the only one who was superfluous. She had come between them and now this was her punishment for trying to have a man who loved another person.
She cursed the day that those golden eyes had captivated her… but even so she didn't do wrong. Had she done a sin?
All precious moments that she had passed with him remain forever engraved in her heart.
Some rebel tears began to leak from his eyes.
She looked at him one last time. Although it had only been a few seconds he was looking at her with the same face that reflected fear and despair.
For a short time it seemed like they had eye contact.
She smiled at him and whispered that sure he would listen ...
—Goodbye….Inuyasha…
A moment later she felt his body crashed into something and everything went black. The waters of that river began to engulf her.
The light was disappearing slowly as she was plunged into darkness.
Small bubbles were the only thing that ran up hastily to the surface, as if it's a race. A race back to freedom.
Her lungs were slowly flooded with Saltwater that was entering by her nose and mouth.
Was this a current ? whatever it was she was dragged with it. Nothing she could do.
For a short time she felt at peace. She wasn't afraid to know that she would not see the people important to her anymore. What she regretted was knowing that these people probably would suffer and mourn for her death.
However there was nothing she could do.
It was too late to change things and if she could go back in time she would have done it. She would like to change many things if she could .
If only it were possible ...
Nothing mattered anymore.
Many things had happened since she turned fifteen. Fight with monsters, go to school, search for the jewel's shards, meet her dear friends, fall in love, experiencing jealousy for the first time, cry for unrequited love…
She was happy and couldn't wish for more but for her them not to suffer, and her... to just to rest at last.
She closed her eyes. And no longer opened them.
