I do not own anything Inuyasha related, wither in this story or any of my others.
Enjoy!
The war around her is nothing compared to the war in her heart. The pain in her body blurs her vision and numbs her limbs, the bow in her hand weaving slightly as she tries to take aim. Her heart screams in denial as her mind, her calm and rational mind knowing what she needs to do and that alone drives her forward. There are people all around her, running past her in terror, their screams hurting her ears. The only thing that keeps her moving forward is the pillar of strength at her back. [I must do this. For Inuyasha i must do this.]
She can feel his presence, the animalistic rage pulsing through the air around her and she feels the person behind her stiffen, a low growl barely heard by her ears as she catches sight of red before her. She lifts her bow but her hand wavers, refusing her minds commands until one elegant hand comes to rest on her shoulder. Soft words are spoken from behind her and she answers though she is not sure what she says. The flash of red stops before her and she takes a deep breath.
"Inuyasha!" Beautiful long silver hair spins in the sunlight as once golden eyes shine red in her direction. For one moment the red seems to reseeds and she sees the shade of gold she had always loved.
[Dear god please forgive me.] She prays as she lets her arrow fly. The silence is immediate and complete. The screams have ended, nothing moves before her. Her hands shake as she approaches him, standing so still now. The shadow of the tree falls over her as she stops before him.
[Please forgive me my love.]
