A Hanyou's Love and a Miko's Heart
Chapter One~ Love Betraied
Kagome sat in the small patch of sun offered by the sun behind the trees. Her back was leaned against the Bone Eater's Well and a scrap of paper was sitting next to her, an arrow holding it to the soft ground. Tears fell from her chocolate eyes, memories returning to remind her what she was sobbing about in the first place.
Kagome stood behind a fairly large tree, watching to two converse in the clearing ahead of her. She knew she was downwind so she had no worries of Inuyasha's nose picking up her scent, she just worried about being spotted by the other miko. Kikyo and Inuyasha stood in the clearing, talking about something Kagome couldn't hear. She watched the two, as she had so many times before, tears already falling down her cheeks. She thought that after they ahd mated he wouldn't go to see the other miko, the one that was supposed to be dead so long ago. Kagome noticed then that Inuyasha had embraced Kikyo and was whispering something into her ear, that having been the last straw. Kagome turned from the scene and ran, trying ehr best to get as far away as she could.
Kagome looked at the slip of paper, rereading the words she had scribbled across it in such a hurry.
I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for having been a burden for so long. I wish I wasn't so much trouble but I guess things never change. Please live long healthy happy lives, and remember that I love you all as if you were my family.
Love,
Kagome
Kagome placed a hand over the note, a few drops of blood dripping onto the ground below her wrists. She shook her head slightly, trying to get the hazyness that was clouding her head to clear but she knew it wouldn't. She looked up to the clear blue sky and smiled slightly, she was going to be with her father soon. Kagome looked once more at the compact mirror she had, looking at the junction of her shoulder and neck to see a lonely crimson rose that looked to be a tattoo. It had appeared shortly after her mating with Inuyasha, the violet cresent moon that once laid behind it having disappeared. Her hand dropped the mirror, not having the strength to hold it up anymore, and her arm fell against the ground. Her arms were coated in blood and dirt, but Kagome didn't care, nothing was going to matter to her soon enought anyway.
Then a shadow covered her face, her unfocused eyes looking up to see the familiar red haori. "You really planned on killing yourself, didn't you wnech?" Came the familiar voice although it was laced with concern, probably having noticed Kagome's arms by now.
"I wanted to give her the life she deserves so you two could be happy." Was Kagome's mumbled and slurred reply. She heard ripping noises, not noticing that her eyes were closed, and felt something wrap tightly around the wounds on her wrists.
"I would never be happy with her, I can only be happy with you. She couldn't accept me as I was but you did, I don't want to lose the one I loved because of a misunderstanding." Inuyasha said softly, picking up Kagome and hurrying to Keade's hut. He hoped that she would be able to help the miko, but he didn't notice the rest of the group having gathered where they once were. He didn't notice the taija fall to her knees, sobbing, the houshi who was trying to console her or the kitsune who just watched blankly wondering if he had lost another mother.
Once he arrived to the small hut Inuyasha laid Kagome down on one of the futons and called for Keade. As Keade worked to try to save the miko all he could do was watch and continue to apologize. Keade finished, saying she couldn't do much for the blood she had already lost, but Inuyasha just focused on the steady rise and fall of Kagome's chest as she breathed.
Soon after the sun had fallen below the horizon Inuyasha noticed that the breathing pattern and the heartbeat of Kagome was slowing, she was dying. He paniced, picking up the miko and rushing out of the hut. He gave no warning to any of the people in the hut, not really noticing if anyone was really in the hut. He just wanted to get to the well was fast as he could. Once he got there he leaped in, being surounded by the familiar blue light. All he wanted was for the people of her time to save her, even if it meant her staying in that time for good.
