The Unknown

You do not know me.
Her feet pound on the ground as she races away, branches tearing at her hair, tears staining her cheeks.
You never knew me.
One foot snags on a root. Her arms rotate comically, hands grasping at tree limbs, but her body betrays her. The weakened miko tumbles down the steep hill.
You lied to me! I never knew you, either.
There is a sickening crack as she lands, one leg bent at an awkward angle beneath her. With a slick crunch, a branch slides through her side. Blood pools around her, red and sticky, staining the white cloth of her shirt.
I loved you. I was attracted to the unknown.
A glistening sheet of tears spreads over her eyes. She gazes at things unseen. A single teardrop slips down her cheek. Her rosebud lips move as though she is trying to speak.
I love you so much. I'm sorry.
Her blue-grey orbs slowly begin draining of life. The heaving of her chest slows. A crimson bubble bursts at the corner of her mouth.
If I could have one wish, it would be for your happiness. I love the unknown, InuYasha.
A boy arrives, flashing silver and red. "Kagome!" His golden eyes light upon her wounded, empty body. "No… You can't leave me…"
Too late…
Two final words escape her throat: "The unknown." Her head falls back, raven locks of hair tainted by scarlet.
Goodbye.
"NO!" The boy wraps his arms around her. "No! No, please…"
Yes.
His hair is tinted with the bronze of her blood as his eyes glow red. She has left him forever, and taken his sanity with her. The lust to kill finally consumes him. He is lost.
You never knew me.

A/N: Wow. That one was extremely depressing, more so than my others, I think. I'm sorry about the poor quality of these. Thank you, my reviewers, for all your kind words!
If you like these (for some unknown – ha-ha – reason), I'd appreciate it if you checked out another one of my stories, Cursed. It's a drabble. Hope you enjoy!
