Claimer: I do not own any Inu-Yasha products. I wish we did, we all do. We can't. Boo hoo.
AN: Enjoy.
BEFORE:
She couldn't believe it. The one she thought she loved, raped her.
She, a miko, was no longer pure.
She shudders.
Her, Kagome Higurashi, was raped, by none other than Kouga Oakima.
And she had no one to save her.
NOW:
Kagome laid there still, thinking over everything. Kouga and she had met exactly 1 and half years ago. Today was supposed to be there anniversary. Some celebration... she thinks bitterly. I wish I never went to that, party... more tears fall as she thinks about how they first meet.
FLASHBACK
"Hey Kaggie, were gonna go dance! Wanna join?" a redheaded, green-eyed wolf demon screamed over the loud blasting music.
It was the end of 11 grade, and Kagome, and her friends Ayame and Sango went to a party. Well, Kagome being dragged to it, but what is the difference?
"No, that's alright Ayame!" Kagome said. "Come on Kags, live a little!" a brunette, with dark chocolate eyes, known as Sango, said. "Guys, seriously, I'm fine! I'll dance in a little bit!"
"Whatever you want!" said Sango, grabbing Ayame's hand, and running off. Sango and Ayame are so energetic, Kagome thought. She looked around. There were people drinking, smoking, making out and basically humping each other instead of dancing. How can Sango and Ayame stand this? It's so loud and disgusting! I'd rather be outside... Kagome thought.
She soon started making her way through the crowd, being bumped into once in awhile by someone. After 10 minutes of trying to get out of the house, Kagome found herself in the backyard. The warm, summer night was perfect, a light breeze blowing, tangling Kagome's long, soft dark midnight blue hair. The music from the party was a dull roar, as Kagome stood there for a few minutes, lost in her thoughts, and looking up at the stars, which were shinning so brightly that night.
"They're gorgeous, aren't they?" Kagome jumped. She turned around to see a wolf demon, with black hair in a ponytail. He was looking up at the stars, a few steps behind Kagome. She kept her eyes on him, but replied.
"Yea, there beautiful tonight. I would love for every night to be like this."
"But where is the beauty in that? If we go, seeing all the wonderful things every day, then there not wonderful any more. It is better to see something so beautiful once, then to always see it. It loses its meaning then. You know?"
During his short ranting, the demon turned his head, so his sharp, blue piercing eyes connected with Kagome's deep, innocent chocolate ones.
They stayed that way for a while, thinking about what he had said. After awhile, Kagome looked back up at the sky.
"I guess you're right. But what if your life is always an eclipse, filed with hate, and darkness, and the little beauty you get, the smallest of miracles, turns around and becomes death, and pain itself? Then would you want to live everyday seeing what you see tonight? No worries? No pain? Knowing that if you don't have this, you have an eclipse? If you knew that, then wouldn't you cherish these moments if you had them every day, then someone who gets it once in awhile, but doesn't know what true pain, and misery is?"
Kagome kept her face up, her voice even. Yet tears were beginning to stream down her face. She was shaking, but she didn't want to go inside. The man walked over, and took off his leather jacket, placing it over her shoulders. Kagome and he looked at each other for what felt like forever, but in reality was only a few fleeting seconds.
"Then the one who suffers the pain should have someone to talk to, even if it is a stranger. They should know that there life isn't always going to be an eclipse, because there are angels watching, who will make sure there will always be moments of bright shining light." he said.
Mere seconds passed with Kagome thinking, and the wolf demon waiting there.
"I'm Kouga Oakima" he said, seeing if she would say anything else.
Kagome was still shaking violently with tears falling. She never opened up to anyone, especially not strangers. But he seemed different. She felt safe, secure near him.
She broke down, and he caught her in his arms.
"I can't be saved..." she whispered.
"You... You can try to," he said back.
"It was my entire fault... His death..."
END FLASHBACK
With that, a 'soon-to-be-broken' bond was made, one which would test the strength, courage, and determination of a broken miko, and the trust, love, and help of a battered half-demon, in times to come.
