Chapter Four
He trashed on the bed, screaming. His back arched as he tried to fight, to hide, to get away. He could feel the claws ripping at his body, felt the pain. The pain in his backside, being torn apart from the inside, the agony spearing him, ripping him in two.
Felt it all over and over again, never free of the nightmare that had become reality.
The humiliation. The utter helplessness. The fear. He relived them all. And the crashing down of his dreams for a happy future with...
He screamed as a hand touched his.
And he froze when he heard an all too familiar voice.
"Lay still, you're badly injured."
It was Miroku, his sweet Miroku. He turned to the voice but could not see. There was only darkness. He tried to move his hands but it seemed they were useless, he hadn't actually even trashed that much. His whole body ached.
"Miroku.." He whispered out, his voice crackling and hoarse.
"Kaede!" Miroku yelled out, his hands still on his arms.
Inuyasha hear as another person entered the room. He felt the air move as someone sat beside him, by Miroku's side. Miroku's hands felt warm as they held him down. He never wanted that touch to end.
"Inuyasha, child.."
He could hear the seriousness in her tone. She reached over him and removed the bandages covering his eyes. There was only darkness. He couldn't see anything. He began to panic. This could not be. 'You will not see him again..'
"No.."
"Inuyasha.."
"Don't touch me!"
And Miroku watched as Inuyasha slowly turned his head away from them. He had shuddered seeing the horrible scarring underneath the bandages. They had had hopes that the eyes would have healed but there must have been some poison in the mix and Inuyasha's eyes had all but been ripped out from their sockets.
Miroku made his way outside the hut. Kagome and Sango waited there, anxious. They had heard Inuyasha's cries and had rushed to the hut. Seeing Miroku, their hope faded.
"So he is?.." Sango asked.
"Blind."
They all looked away, not knowing what to do, to say. Inuyasha had always been so strong and now he was completely and utterly defenceless.
