Stone Cold Hearts
Prologue: Alone.
Broken, scared, and alone, she waits. She waits for her savior that may never come. She waits for a love that will never be realized. Her heart is breaking, her mind is numb. Her bones are stiff, and her blood runs cold. Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes glaze over as her hope begins to fade. The skin on her slender body becomes taut and slick with a cold sweat.
"I will die here", she tells herself sullenly. "I will die here, at the bottom of this well, in the feudal age of Japan. Out of time and out of place, I will die without saying good-bye and I will die, alone."
Alone…the word begins to vibrate inside of her skull. As she listens to this word play over in her head she is resigned to her inevitable fate.
"I, Kagome Higurashi, will die here…alone." At this statement she lets her mind wander and heart shatter into pieces…never to be put back together again.
Broken, scared, and most definitely alone, she waits. She waits for the end of her pain, of her suffering and she waits for the end of her broken heart.
Her eyes slip shut as she begins to understand that this was her fate all along.
"I was destined to be alone; I should have known that from the beginning. I was never meant to be loved by Inuyasha, and it was a mistake to think that I could be", she reminds herself matter-of-factly. "He has, and always will love Kikiyo…to him I am just her reincarnation. I will never be any one he wants to love. Ha…I guess I ought to thank Naraku for dumping me in here, breaking most of my bones. If he hadn't done this, I probably would have done it myself trying to get home. At least now I know that I can't get back to my own time. I also know that the Shikon Jewel is gone, Naraku is dead and Kikiyo and Inuyasha are going to be happy together. I bet that perverted monk, Miroku, will be happy with Sango, the demon slayer as well.
"Shippo will find someone cute to be with and Kaede will continue to protect her village as their priestess. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken will go on with their lives, and not give me a second thought. And…I also know… that I will have to be content with the un-happy ending to my fairytale life. Everyone else will be able to live their lives without too much worry or pain, while I will have to forget about that completely, because I will die here at the bottom of this well, in the feudal age of Japan…alone. "
At her last revelation, she lets herself slip into unconsciousness, possibly never to be awoken again, with a smile upon her pitiful face.
Broken, unconscious, and alone, she waits.
