Betrayal

The rain fell upon her like a desired shelter, a shelter, a comfort, that which she wept under her cries wracked her body her vicious sobs destroying her soul as her shattered heart falls away into the rapid river of her soul. She weeps in the shelter of her darkness the shelter of the rain from pain from exhaustion and worst of all from love. The love that she holds for a certain boy a certain hanyou that she has traveled with for the last three years. The hanyou that stole her heart and ran away with it, he ran and ran, he ran long, he ran far, he ran fast and then he destroyed it he broke it, shattered it into a million pieces, he put her tender heart, her scared heart, her pure heart, beneath his feet and smothered it, smashed it into the ground. He betrayed her time and time again he betrayed her, she stayed with him though, she thought he would learn what he was doing to her but time and time again he betrayed her, with her. The inhuman contraption, the walking dead, her reincarnate, he betrayed her.

"INUYASHA!" She screams as she pounds her fists into the muddy ground as tears streak down her face from the eyes that see the scene replayed again in her mind.

FLASHBACK

Three years ago a girl was brought back 500 years into the past and even though she feared it she was given a few reasons to stay and fight and search. This girl now young woman is called Kagome Hiragashi and this journey that she has started has not been any easy one. This journey as many purposes to one kill Naraku who plagues the lands of feudal Japan and then to collect all the shards of the Shikon No Tama that she accidentally shattered. Along this journey she met many people most are demons that she has fought against while there are others who fight beside her. And these people are asleep around her in the village priestess' hut not far from the bone eaters well, the portal to her world, their future. She has awoken during the night with an eerie feeling unsure of where the uneasiness came from, the nerves that smothered her. Blinking the sleep from her eyes Kagome looked down in front of her to see her kit, the second one she met on this journey. He wasn't really her son but she mothered him, and his name is Shippo, an orphaned kitsune that she loved dearly. To her right slept the third person she met on this journey, the demon exterminator Sango, a wonderful young woman that is strong willed and easy to love. She fights for revenge on Naraku for massacring her village and also for the freedom of her brother Kohaku that is under Naraku's spell. And in her arms slept kirara a two-tailed feline that has been with Sango sense she was a child and has not left her side since. Across from Sango slept the fourth member of the group Miroku, the lecherous monk, with the cured right hand. His family has been cursed with the wind tunnel in their right hands for 3 generations by Naraku and its slowly kills him each passing year. He fights to rid himself of the curse since he is the last of his family line. Then there was priestess Kaede, she did not travel with them nor did she sleep in her hut tonight but she was always there when needed and always there to welcome them home or wish them a safe trip.

As Kagome looked from friend to friend she noticed that the hut lacked a certain someone's presence, the hanyou was missing, Inuyasha was not there. She did not sense him within the area. Her first thought was that he probably went out for a run but yet something deep inside told her that was a lie, something was amiss and she couldn't sleep until her worries were put to rest. She stood from her sleeping bag making certain not to disturb her little Shippo and walking carefully around the smoking fire and her slumbering friends, pulled back the drop mat and left. She left the warm and welcoming hut to approach the forest the lied just near the well hoping praying that it held the solution to her uneasiness. She slowly walked away from the warm hut in the tiny village roughly rubbing her arms trying to warm herself as the nightly winds child her scadly clothed body yet on she walked. Underneath the sky she walked, its color a midnight blue shining bright with the full moon in the western sky surrounded by pale twinkling starts as wispy clouds flowed free in the dark sky. On as she walked she soon realized she had left her weapons in the security of the hut while she was about to enter a dangerous wilderness, without any weapons or means of protection. She stops and thinks of what she should do, looking back at the village then to the darkened forest.

"I shouldn't need my weapons, one night wont hurt," she said to herself as she continued on towards her destination but unknown to every ones ears except her own. The winds swept away the words of her worry that gentle wing swept away, "I hope."

At the moment Kagome entered the forest, she wound her way through thick brush and large trees going to where her heart pulled her then she spotted it. She spotted something flying in the distance, floating twirling dancing with the wing in-between the trees singing its own silent song telling the forest of its demonic life. Curiosity getting the better of her she followed it deeper into the woods, the pull on her heart is now more painful than ever, because she realized that the creature she had been following a soul catcher. And where there is a soul catcher there is Kikyo, and if Kikyo was near then he was probably with her. She stood there frozen unsure about what to do, should she seek him out and let her heart break again or should she just go back and weep till morning over the betrayal that she did not witness. She wanted to turn around now go back to the village and never see them together but she couldn't she had to see she had to know. So on she walked with moist eyes, still following the soul catcher, until she came upon a clearing that shattered her. For there they stood committing the ultimate betrayal. For there they stood in a tight embrace lips locked, tongues at war, their arms and hands dragging their bodies closer together. Then Inuyasha broke the kiss and opened his lust and love filled eyes to lay them upon Kikyo and then he said it, he said those words to her.

"I love you Kikyo, I give you all that I have, my love, my heart, my soul, you are mine, as I am yours, yours forever, my dearest Kikyo."

Then he kissed her again but full with undeniable passion as he led her the mossy ground slowly relieving her of her miko garb as he devoured her rotting body with his kisses, with his mouth. All of this was witnesses, all of this Kagome saw, in the shadows of the trees and the brush she looked upon Inuyasha, her beloved Inuyasha thrust himself into her, moans, grunts, and mewls of pleasure fell from the mouths as she watched, their union. She didn't know what to do, her first instinct was to go home, to run to the well and go home, but she always did that, after a few days he would come get and she would listen to his promises that he broke time and time again and his lies of forgiveness and all would go back to normal that is until next time. She couldn't go home, she wouldn't and she couldn't go back to the hut she couldn't face him so soon or face her friends she just couldn't do it, and she couldn't stay there. She couldn't listen she couldn't watch anymore and he would sense her there eventually if she just sat there and cried so she ram.

She ran deeper into the forest tears blinding her as she ran long, ran hard, and ran fast, she just wanted to get away, far far away. She ran tripping over roots she ran and ran slipping on the earth, being cut by each twig, each branch, bruised by each fall but on she ran. As her skin and clothes tore blood seeming to cover her arms and legs, stomach and back, and a few on her precious face. She ran and ran until she collapsed weeping in the small clearing she tumbled into. She lay there weeping as tiny droplets feel upon her head slowly starting to pour down on her as they sky wept with the broken miko.

END FLASHBACK

Still now she lies there weeping as she pounds her fists into the muddy ground slowly and softly still sobbing, in the forest all alone she wept. As Kagome wept from her sorrow a pair of golden eyes opened from the shadows oblivious to the presence of a certain demon, Kagome stayed whimpering crying hysterically at points pounding at the earth. This beholder of the golden eyes had sensed her presence and sought her out to find out why this young beauty's aura reeked of distress.

From the darkness the beholder of those ice cold golden eyes stepped from the shadows and said in his unique chilling voice, not once shaking from emotion, "Why do you weep so young miko?" as he knelt down just a few feet from her shaking form.

At the sound of the monotone voice Kagome became aware of exactly who knelt down so close to her, and she stiffened instantly. She slowly raised her head as fear consumed her unsure if she should believe what she had heard, if she heard the voice correctly. Then she saw him, those golden eyes that facade and she stared unknowing what to say out of her shock and suspicion.

All she could seem to get out was his name.

"SESSHOMARU?"
