Act 1
A red flash. I saw him as I fell down, it was as if time stood still. What happened? What did I do wrong? I look at my Lord and meet his cold gaze. I am dying, and yet he shows no emotion. I thought he needed me, maybe even cared about me, if only a little. But in the end, I was nothing to him. He didn't even care to save my heart. He just let that red flash destroy it. I see my Lord looking away, and he vanishes into purple smoke. He fled…
The ground still looks so far away, I do not want to hit it.
I do not want to die.
The pain in my chest would be killing me, but my heart has stopped beating already. I know I should have said no. I should not have followed my Lords orders; the red flash was too strong. I was no match for him, but it was either to die by the boy in the red clothes, or to have my heart crushed by the hands of my Lord. If only he had hadn't had my life in his hands, I would have refused. I would have fled myself, but I didn't. I couldn't. I guess my life was meant to be short.
The ground is coming closer and my vision is getting all blurred. A soft wind is blowing and the grass tickles my skin as I finally hit the ground. I can see the red flash sheathing his sword in the very corner of my eye. Then I suddenly feel tired and my head is getting heavy. I focus on the wind and close my eyes. Slowly I drift off in a silent darkness.
The fluttering and rustling of clothes sound, as a young monk walks up to the girl's body. "She's gone," he says as he offers a quick silent prayer for her soul. The boy in the red robes looks around, "He fled again, that bastard." A girl in a strange outfit moves closer, "Why did Naraku have her heart? She is not one of his incarnations, is she?" "She indeed is not, Kagome, she has no scar on her back," the monk replied. "But it doesn't matter, she was under Naraku's command and tried to kill you." A female demonslayer walks up to the girl's body as well, "But what if she didn't want to? She looked kind off hesitant, like she knew she would die either way, right? Either by Inuyasha, or by Naraku." "You've got a point there," spoke the monk, "but if she would die anyway, why did she not choose her pride as a lynx? She could have tried to attack Naraku, or at the very least she could have defied his command. I cannot help but to conclude that she was completely on Naraku's side." "Too bad she was a white lynx. We really needed her." Kagome said. "Don't worry, Kagome! If there is one lynx, there are bound to be more! I'll just sniff 'em out and force 'em to tell the location." Inuyasha said. "Inuyasha, you cannot just force them to tell! That won't work!" "Just you watch, I can be very persuasive." "But…." They started to walk back to the village while bickering about Inuyasha's approach. "We had better go back to the village as well, Sango. You and Inuyasha got beaten up pretty bad, " Miroku said. Sango agreed and walked away. Miroku looked at the girl for a last time, turned around and followed Sango.
