Thanatos
~If I can't be yours~
"Now its time, I fear to tell. I've been holding it back so long. But
something strange deep inside of me is happening. I feel unlike
I've ever felt. And its making me scared. That I may not be what
I (think I am)..."
I stare at my hands.
Hard, rough calluses. Sharp claws meant to inflict hurt. Soaked in blood. Human blood.
I close my eyes as my nose seeks out Kagome's scent. I open my eyes and look down at my hands once again. The blood is no longer there... but it's stench remains.
A strong, faintly salty, metallic smell. So strong I can practically taste it.
I growl in frustration and bring my hands crashing down into the shallow stream of red. Tinged crimson by the dying sun. Blood, death, life. Who can tell where one begins and the other ends?
" Inuyasha..." a soft voice calls out behind me. I close my eyes again, assaulted by a myriad of emotions. Anger, trust, annoyance, affection, fear, joy, peace, loss --wait, LOSS?? I shove away these thoughts and glare at the hand she had placed upon my shoulder. Stupid human! Doesn't she still understand what I am capable of?
"Inuyasha...?" Kagome's voice beckons, asks, pleads, soft as summer rain. I smile slightly as I breathe in her scent, peace pervading my senses.
