Chapter Two. I Have My Reasons
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha however some of the characters in here are mine, and some of the lands are of my imagination and I own them wholly.
She wept. Grief and despair weighed down on her like a leaded anchor. She had loved Inuyasha, but his not caring was shocking and being the priestess that she was she had a big heart. She couldn't think of not thinking of others. Easily she would sacrifice her life for another, even for one lesser than her.
But maybe she had been wrong. Inuyasha was entitled to his opinion, just as she was to hers. However, she still harboured anger towards him for saying that, and bewilderment. Still, with all that he had said, though, she wanted him back. Love was a strange thing. It caused her more sorrow than misery, yet everyone yearned for it. She did not see what was so great in it. Heartbreak was all that she had gotten.
She had decided to go to a village. She didn't know which one. She didn't care. She just needed somewhere to stay with someone to talk to. She trekked along a worn out trail made by the trampling of many feet. It was drawing near days end. She could see a spring not far ahead, and that is where she planned on bathing. Making her way towards it, she sat down on the bank.
Kikyo undressed herself and slid into the spring, the warm water calming her nerves. She tried her best to relax, to think of something else besides Inuyasha. But try as she may, she couldn't. The silver-haired half demon always was in her mind. The argument, the days when they had joy, and of leaving him; they all were combined to add to her misery. Out of nowhere she heard a voice.
"Hello!" the voice cried merrily. Out of some underbrush on the side of the path a young male emerged. He had raven hair that went to his shoulder and he was around her age. Kikyo felt violated and a little irked at him being there.
"How long have you been there?" she asked. Smiling he gave his reply.
"Long enough." That irked Kikyo even more, but she tried to get her mind off of it. This boy was creeping her out.
"What do you mean by that? Did you see me-"
"Naked? Yes." Kikyo flushed red with embarrassment and anger. A fury filled her body.
"Why did you look? That was wrong!" But he only smiled harder, if that were possible for the big grin on his face went almost all the way up to his eyes.
"What is someone beautiful like you doing out here by yourself? Don't you have a man?" Inuyasha flitted through Kikyo's mind. She shut her eyes.
"No... not anymore." Despite how lecherous the boy was he did seem good at heart. He watched as a tear fell down the miko's beautiful face. He walked over to the side of the pool.
"What's wrong." But Kikyo didn't answer his question.
"I'm still mad at you, ya know. You have seen me naked, isn't that enough?" The boy nodded.
"I am sorry, but I couldn't help it. It's not everyday a pretty girl like you undressess right before your eyes." Kikyo's feeling towards the boy softened at his words. She looked over at him. She finally answered his question.
"My boyfriend and I, we got in a fight." He looked at her, full of concern. He did not want her to be unhappy.
"What kind of fight Miss-"
"Kikyo. The fight was verbal, but I ended up leaving him and now I have no one." He looked at her intently.
"Then why did you leave him?"
"I have my reasons."
"Clearly, Kikyo. What did he do?" Kikyo rose out of the water. She was exposed, but had already been seen before and now it did not matter to her. But being nice, he looked away. Kikyo did not have anything to dry off with. She would have to dry off with the setting sun.
"He... he just didn't care. I couldn't take it. He is just so cold-hearted. But enough of him. What is your name?" He smiled at her, but she did not see it for he was still turned away.
"Hercule. Do you want to be my friend?"
"Yes; it would be nice having someone to talk to."
"Okay, then you can count on me."
A/N: And so, another chapter is finished. Not quite as developed as the last one, I know. But the argument had already been explained. I thank all who reviewed.
