XII:
Tears of a
Broken Heart
My eyes blurred and everything felt like it wasn't there to me. I collapsed onto my knees, tears flowing freely out of my face. My heart hurt. It hurt so much…I sniffled. I heard somebody rushing behind me and just standing there, but I didn't care to turn.
"Kagome, why are you crying? I smelled your tears and…" It was Inuyasha. As I thought of that, my heart hurt even more. The silver-haired boy knelt down next to me to figure out why I was crying. My legs refused to move. I had to be picked up by Inuyasha and carried on his back to the village. Shippo found us and jumped onto my shoulder.
"Is Kagome alright?" he asked Inuyasha, but the boy's eyes felt uncertain.
"I don't know, Shippo." I was let down inside a hut near some Torii gates, but all I did there was sit against the wall. My legs not only couldn't move, but my mouth too. The pain still resided within me. Some elder woman came in, nearly gasping and dropping a basketful of herbs she was carrying.
"Inuyasha, Shippo, please leave this to me." Inuyasha and Shippo both nodded, and walked through the limp mat hanging from the doorway as a door. My eyes turned to look at her as she placed her basket down in the corner opposite of me.
"Kagome, what's wrong? How are you able to be here?" I tried to form words, saying I didn't exactly know, but my jaw refused to budge. The woman looked at me with her only eye in concern. "Where are your other era clothes? Don't ye usually wear them?"
Other era clothes? I wasn't from the future, past, or anything like that. I wondered if she could see it in my eyes the confusion I was getting. She nodded, noting something.
"Ye are hurt in the heart. Tell me, what happened, Kagome?" I opened my mouth. I couldn't think of anything to say to her. I felt movement in my legs again, and stood up, still watching the elder woman. Her brows knitted in concentration, and I turned to the door. Without a word I began to sprint at the door, making it through before the elder could stop me. Through the villagers I weaved, trying to dodge anybody from coming at me.
I accidentally forgot to look in front and slammed into somebody. I turned to face a monk covered in purple robes.
"Kagome?" he questioned, with that same shock and confusion I had seen in the others who have known me. I dodged past him and heard his footsteps go after me, but I must've lost him by the time I had reached the edge of the forest. I stopped to take a few quick breaths before making my way through the trees. Strangely enough, I had more endurance than I had suspected of me. Once again, tears came down my face in streams for some reason, and the pain in my own heart worsened as I ran, because of my hastened breathing. Where could Sesshoumaru have gone? He couldn't have gone so far that I wouldn't have been able to find him anymore…Or could he?
"S…Sesshoumaru-sama!" I screamed into the air, hoping his demon ears would catch it. I waited a few minutes before trying again. On my second try, right after I had cried it, I tripped over a loosened tree branch and onto the ground. The wound on my arm I had received from Makego opened up again, and I was bleeding once more. I stopped moving after that, thinking over everything. Maybe he was really gone, and I wouldn't ever see him again.
I heard it. That thumping noise near me; I was close. They were the footsteps of Ah-Un! I struggled with my weakened state to get up and try to get near, but with my arm sliced, it was difficult. When I had finally had my ground, I spotted through tree openings people coming after me. Most respectively, Inuyasha and the monk I had met. I struggled to run, and finally made it to a clearing. I turned, hearing the footsteps get closer. It was when I turned to face forward I spotted Sesshoumaru staring right at me, his eyes cold once more.
Inuyasha and a certain monk chasing her, and Sesshoumaru has returned to his old self! Or has he? I have no idea why I put that certain quote of tears up there. I just thought it would fit nicely for some reason.
