Promises Are Meant To Be Broken

One-Shot

Waiting

A young woman sat on a green hill, with her knees drawn to her chest, overlooking the village. Her red pants swished and swashed with the gentle summer breeze, as the sun's rays splashed themselves unto her long black hair, giving it an eerie glow. She let out an almost silent sigh, her brown eyes searching for something, someone.

She slightly shifted trying to get a more comfortable positions for he stiff back side and to ease the small pain in her lower back. The young woman began to hum a haunting tone, patiently waiting for this…special person.

Promise

"You're late," she said, her voice smooth like silk, carrying itself threw the clearing and into two white dog ears.

"I…,"the silver haired boy left his sentence hanging, secretly searching his mind for an appropriate excuse for his tardiness. In reality he was here earlier but stayed in the high branches of the tree behind him, watching the beautiful woman not to far away from him.

She shifted and lightly patted the grass beside her, silently telling him to come sit beside her. He hesitated for a moment before slowly walking towards the red and white figure, his feet making no sound whatsoever.

He loudly plopped himself, a frown etched onto his face, trying to hide his blush.

"You promise?" Her voice broke the silence between them.

His black eyebrows rose, hiding themselves behind his bangs. Confused, he asked "Wha-Promise what?"

"Do you promise to…,"She hesitate looking at her hometown trying to distract herself, a little uncomfortable showing her emotions so openly, "never forget me?"

A little surprised, Inuyasha stuttered for a couple of seconds before regaining his composure, "Of course, you'll always be with me," he said, his eyes softening as he gazed at the woman beside him.

Hatred

Pain began deep within her shoulder bone, coursing threw her veins as her nerves exploded in agony. She weakly clutched her bleeding should, miserably trying to stop the blood flow.

What…

She took a few wobbly steps forward, almost falling as her vision blurred with unshed tears. Soon a red figure appeared in front of her.

Inuyasha…

Broken

He lied.

No, he probably just…

Forgot? Very funny that someone can forget such a powerful promise…

I know it I can feel it in my-

Heart? What heart? We're made of clay…There's only a black hole in our rib cage, nothing else…

No! I know it! He still loves me, I just…I just know it.

He never said 'I love you' , he just said he'll never forget you, probably something he all ready did.

Why are you doing this to me? To us?

Because I'm trying to show you. He killed us, his claws ripped threw our flesh. His voice mockingly laughed at our stupidity.

No you're…just…I don't know. It's not possible…

But it is. Come with me, let me guide you threw this. I can make it all better…Come.

…Can you take this pain away? Can you really help me?

Yes

…Ok


Yeah, I'll just pack my stuff and leave...
