Chapter 1 Dereliction
She lay on the dirt-covered, forest floor. Unconcious to the world in her hypnotic state. Though the rain poured, the thunder clapped, and the lightning danced from the somber gray clouds, she didn't feel the ice, cold rain sting at her delicate skin, didn't hear the loud claps of thunder trying desperately, to reawaken her battered soul, and didn't see the magnificent fury of the lightning as it danced wildly from the heavens.
The only thing that her mind, body, and soul could comprehend was Inuyasha, and what he had done to her. The betrayal, the lies, the pain. It tugged at her heart as if there were a string tied tightly around it and Inuyasha's every action was in control.
She just lay in the rain, as if the cold liquid could wash away her misery. Her once lively, pink cheeks were now drained and pale, her once beautiful, bright blue eyes were now iced over into an icy gray/blue. Her body, once strong and dependable, was now weak and fragile.
All that she wanted, needed, loved and desired was Inuyasha. She had loyally stood by his side for two years and hadfallen in love with the Hanyou. He had sworn and promised that he would always be there for her, always protect her, and always love her. But, where was he now?
She lay there with her eyes open, letting tears fall freely, mixing with the cold rain to make a sorrowful mixture. Though her eyes were open, she couldn't see. Either way that she kept her eyes, wether they be opened or closed, all that she could see was darkness.
She lay there feeling deprived of everything that she held dear. She thought for a moment, while she lay there, before a certain Hanyou's name escaped her once ruby red lips."Inuyasha...how could you... betray me?" she cried in an agonizing whisper.
She lay there a few more moments, in her heartbreaking agony before releasing a defening scream. She screamed as if it would let out the torment, the pain, the sorrow...the horrifing feeling of dereliction. She screamed until her lungs were completly drained of oxygen and her throat throbbed in pain.
Catching her breath she began to cry in steady sobs while wrapping her arms around herself. "Why Inuyasha?...why did you go back to her?" she screamed in her rage, between breath-taking sobs. She slowly lifted her worn body up off of the ground to sit on her knees andarched her fragile neck, looking towards the depressing sky.
"You made a promise to me too, Inuyasha!" she screamed, releasing her arms from around herself to pound the earth beneath her wildly with her fists."You promised to never abandon me! But, where are you now?...how could you leave me here alone?"
"You neglect every promise you ever made to me as if they don't matter!" she screamed once again in her fury and sorrow, not noticing the world around her, which seemed to cry with her in her pain.
Yes, the earth also seemed to share the young girls pain. With pouring rain to match her tears, ear-shattering thunder to rival her screams, and wild, unruley lightning to accompany her rage. The trees and flowers of the forest, once bright and vibrant, like herself once was, were now more dull and seemed wilted.
As her fragile body shook uncontrollably from the ice cold rain and sorrow filled sobs, little did she know that someone was watching the tragic scene nearby.
"Inuyasha, I thought you loved me?" She cried in a desperate whisper. She slowly tried to get to her feet, not sure if they could withstand her now shaking legs and body.
Clutching onto a nearby tree branch for support, she slowly lifted herself onto her feet. Once she stood on her feet, her legs began to shake, warning her that they would soon give out. As she began to feel her knees buckle and her weak body fall forward, she prepared herself to meet the cold ground once again, but was shocked when instead of feeling thewet earthbelow her, she felt strong, musculine arms lace themselves around her petite waist as she fell into unconciousness.
