time, but your wonderful and encouraging reviews urged me to update again!
So here it is! The more you review the faster I write! ~Warrior of Forest~
Now what you've all been waiting for.. Chapter 2: Broken Mind
Back in the village, Miroku, Sango, Myoga, and Kaede were sitting down to dinner, Oblivious to the drama taking place upon the edges of the forest.
Just then, they heard a howl and chills ran up theirs spines from the sheer sorrow in the cry.
"My God..What happened?" Sango whispered as though afraid. "Never before have I heard such a cry."
"It was the cry of a spirit being broken, a heart being shattered and a cry of the deepest sorrow." Kaede answered back. 'I hope it wasn't who I think it was..if it was..what caused such a cry to be necessary?'
Kaede seemed unwilling to voice her opinion on the owner of the cry. However, that was not the case with Myoga.
"It came from the edges of the forest. It was the cry of.."
Myoga hesitated wishing to be wrong but knowing he was right. All present waited with bated breath for him to reveal the owner of such sorrow.
"..Lord Inu-Yasha."
"No.." Sango gasped "Are you sure? It takes a lot to make Inu-Yasha this upset..Oh no! Maybe Kagome was hurt.or..or..KILLED!" She jumped up, "I must go see!"
"NO!" Miroku grabbed her wrist and held her back. "No. This sorrow runs deeper than death can inflict."
"I will go to Lord Inu-Yasha. I will go quickly for my Lord may be rash in such sorrow." Myoga added as her hopped toward the door.
"Wait." Sango said "Ride Kirara up there. You'll go faster that way." She whistled for the demon.
"My thanks!" Myoga jumped on Kirara.
"Kirara! To the edge of the forest! Hurry!"
Kirara took off in to the night bearing the tiny flea demon steadily toward the forest.
Meanwhile back in the hut, all present sat in anxious silence hoping for the safe return of Myoga, Kagome and Inu-Yasha.
***********
Inu-Yasha was oblivious to all around him. Lost in his mind, he stared at the ground with eyes telling of infinite pain and suffering. Tears coursed down his pale cheeks and he did nothing to ebb their flow.
'Kagome..is that what you truly think? How could you betray me Kagome!? First Kikyou, now you.I can't take anything else!'
Inu-Yasha's sobs increased as his thoughts turned in a much more painful direction as hopelessness set in.
'I am not able to be loved! I am a being of strength but my worth ends there! She never loved me! Kikyou never loved me! They both just wanted to be protected! No, Kagome did this on purpose! She gave me love and as soon as the reason for being with me was gone, she went away! She took back all that she gave! Kagome..no you're not at fault.it is my fault for believing she loved me. I caused this pain. Only I deserve it. I shall never love again for it only ends in suffering!'
He let out another unearthly howl that carried all his pain and suffering across the land and all who felt it knew the sorrow of one who's spirit and heart had been shattered in two.
*********** Myoga heard the second howl and winced from the pain in its tone. At that moment Kirara crested the hill.
"Kirara, let me off here. Return to Sango and tell her I have found Inu- Yasha."
With that Kirara turned back for the village and Myoga crept toward the cliff face. But, nothing prepared him for what he found there.
To Be Continued..
Mwah ha ha ! Evil Cliffie! I know! (Dodges mallet) "Hey! Who threw that!?" Anyway, keep on reviewing! Chapter 3: Shattered Spirit *COMING SOON*!!
