Authors note :As always , I do not own Inuyasha , nor of the song 'Storm ' By Lifehouse .. Enjoy!
Settling in a makeshift camp after nearly a days travel before the sunset dimmed to the knowing darkness awakening, the group of six thus ended their continuous trek searching for the shards of the shikon jewel. Upon the nights coming dusk whips of light sailed over the horizons in the near distance , and as it soared closer , the sight became known to those who knew the telling existence of the ones who had seen it. For it was the accompanying creatures , known as the soul collectors surrounding the undead priestess whom summoned the call of her lover of times past. Of course, only one shown anything but mixed emotions for the visitors arrival , and it had been the one who the calling had surfaced for , the hanyou Inuyasha.
It had soon then followed that the requested beckoning made by the priestess Kikyo was carried out by the hanyou himself seeking the woman of the undead out as he had for as long as this whole business began . Therefore leaving behind the remaining five resting up for the harsh days ahead upon mornings arrival , thus which it would all start again. All was fairly silent in succession with the exception of a woman's hushed whimpers shielded by the shadows within the night. Liquid chocolate pools gazed towards the spot where the recent departing once stood before the one had moved to follow the direction pulling onto his heart while she was left to bear the pain of it all alone.
Kagome would never falter in keeping what she should within for the one the miko had longed for already knew , or at least it was believed so that he knew of what was felt , and because of that it was the other chosen , it would never be known again of the pain that was killing her slowly , only wishing that it could be forgotten . Although , it hadn't needed to be said for the others knew of what was happening , and would continue if it wasn't stop , but it was by request of their miko friend that the knowledge shouldn't be breathed a sound. So it wasn't.
During the days Kagome's eyes would take on a dulled stoic hue of malted brown, the nights when most were tucked in the dreams of slumber , well it was something completely the opposite. It was darkened with the extreme depths of sorrow covered in fresh water to rinse away the bitter salt from the tears that surely commenced. Although her behavior didn't alter from the ways prior , only the way of her eyes had differed that just the ones who were truly seeing her had noticed because the change had been so subtle, and only one had seen its true visage of what had been hidden. The demon slayer Sango.
As the days grew shorter carrying the winds chill of Autumn , somehow the need to release had become lessened , but had still yet remained in part. In time the effects, the decision made known to the befriended miko , by the beloved hanyou had had seemed to have less , and less consequence to the one burdened by it , tho one knew better , as it had been the same of the one who had seen its destruction.
It was the night in question was the evening where the knowledge on ones behalf , Inuyasha , had voiced his choice to follow his honor instead of the secret demands of his heart , unknown to the sight of the obliviously devastated miko, Kagome. Sango had only just witnessed of the hanyou's abrupt leaving through the circling trees , as she who had only came to search out for her missing friend as she wasn't in the spot Kagome normally slumbered with the perky fox kit. It was then that she had came across that of her pack mate , and friend Kagome , as she seemed thrown laying upon the ground in a disgruntled heap within the muddy soil.
Seemingly unknown to what was happening around her , the miko was shaking with turmoil as it began to break her under the pressure from the fall . The slayer had suddenly sat down , placing her head upon her lap while It was Kagome's retributive actions never ceased, as the woman continued to pur her heart out. Procceeding of what was only to come , a light glow emerged around her, as Sango only had but to watch , for that of her body had become frozen stiffly without the will to move , and that was the cause for her stillness controlled by the arising power , one that was greatly pure , but equally dangerous.
Growing more viciously , as it came the energy surfacing only had just begun what was only left to come when the sting of a electrifying current was felt rippling through Sango as Kagome's aura brought it forth.
"Kagome..."
Thus tired orbs of pained bark soon found those containing the source of such words uttered , as the first soon met the orbs of the earthy fall, telling of the distrautiness threatening to take over in presidence encircled with blood.
Then ...
Those same eyes tossing waves of utter loss, reverted back to its familiar frame , as a quivering voice stated the others name..
"Sango..."
How long have I been in this storm?
All of what was within her then had seized..
"Ka.. Gome Are you alright?"
So overwhelmed by the oceans shapeless form..
"Sango, I 'am sorry. I have to start over, have to forget.."
Waters getting hard to tread
"What do you mean , Kagome. Your starting to scare me?" the other stumbled through her words..
With these waves crashing over my head..
The first's head shook from side to side quickly as she was able to wipe the remaining tears away , then said ..
"Just know that things will once again be as it was, the way it was meant to be .."
If I could just see you
Nothing but Kagome's eyes warned of something yet to come, a promise to do yet the reasons why she came , but not without guaranteeing that she's be coming back afterwards, tho they now hid the intentions that she 'd laid within them, for her face still carried the beloved smile that was always worn .
Everything would be alright
Silence prevailed as the words sunk in ..
If I'd see you ..
Following the miko's gaze towards the twinkling stars wondering if they knew as she watched her eyes watching them ..
Everything would be alright..
'Inuyasha .. '
This darkness would turn to light ..
Turning away once those words were said , making her way in a daze towards their chosen campsite , as the other one surely followed , wondering if the words spoken were what exactly was said, and if so could what would surely come because of it be stopped, or will be too late. Maybe it already was ..
