Prologue
Hey… Yeah, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I just moved to Illinois… I lost the computer for over a month and a half. I think I had a seizure at one point. But now, I'm back! And with a new story, too… Hopefully I can update the other ones while I'm at it…
*Sniffle* Anyways, here's the story. It's a crossover between Inuyasha and Naruto, and it's a Kagome and Sasuke pairing.
And this is all I shall tell you about it… until next chapter, which will come up sometime later this week. I swear. Maybe even tomorrow, at best. But don't get your hopes up.
So, without further ado, enjoy the story! (Or, the prologue, anyways. Yes, I am teasing you. Surprised? You shouldn't be…)
She wasn't pretty.
Her body was littered with cuts and bruises, and she was exhausted beyond belief. She couldn't take it anymore…
It was midnight, and although the moon was out, the trees cast upon her an inky blackness that swallowed her whole and welcomed her in. She was more than willing to let it take her wherever it wanted her to go, her legs too tired to carry her own weight any longer.
She watched the night pass her by calmly, as if it wasn't her who was dying, but somebody else.
Detached from the world around her, she observed the towering trees high up above her become even farther away as she fell to the ground, the dirt meeting the right side of her body with a resounding crack that bounced off of the bark throughout the forest.
A flock of red-eyed crows flew from the trees at the disturbance, temporarily covering the full copper moon above that was dancing around in the sky along with the small balls of light that were the stars. The woman faintly registered that her hard fall had caused her right arm to break and stick out at an odd angle.
Dull stormy gray orbs blinked tiredly, and eventually slid shut. Bright images flashed in her mind's eye and full- albeit cracked and injured- red lips lifted up slightly in content. She would be seeing her loved ones once again.
Would they be happy to see her? Or would they be disappointed that she had joined them so soon? She knew they wouldn't like the fact that she was giving up so quickly, but she felt that it was her time.
She absorbed the moon's shine that had been blocked by the trees before, but somehow, it had moved over the short amount of time she'd been sprawled out on the ground in a wacky position. Or had she been here for hours? She couldn't tell; her sense of time had never been quite accurate.
Her life was slipping away, her soul seeping out of her body at a torturously slow pace. She wanted it over and done with now.
Her last thought was as she went unconscious, 'Will anybody ever find me?'
Gahahaha… See ya later, alligators!
