back.write..OK I'LL WRITE!!!
Thank you all for your incredible reviews!! I can't believe how good a
reception this stories gotten! And I'm on favorite authors lists!! Happy
day!!
Also, thanks to all who have read my other stories because you liked this
one! Makes me update faster to see all the insanity.
Yes, all authors are insane deep down inside...if we weren't the stories wouldn't be as good (shrug).
On request I've cleared up the thought/speaking parts of the story..
So on with the story!
Chapter 7: Torn Heart With the Return of the Light
"Kagome.."
Inu-Yasha's voice was filled with all his pain and suffering for the past day and for all his life.
The pain in his voice made Kagome wince,
'Oh, Inu-Yasha..how could I hurt you this way? Can you ever forgive me? Do I deserve to me forgiven?'
Kagome broke out of her thoughts and took a step forward toward the frozen Inu-Yasha. Her brown eyes filled with regret were fixed on his golden eyes that told the story of true sorrow and shattered hearts left behind.
Inu-Yasha was standing in the middle of the square. His eyes wide and fixed on Kagome's as she slowly walked toward him. He was visibly trembling, tears unshed shown in his eyes and the sorrow radiating from his broken and betrayed heart; was felt by all around him. His thoughts turned to utter despair as he watched Kagome tentatively make her way forward.
'Kagome..did you come back to teach me my lesson again? Or to show me that I truly am not needed..here or anywhere.'
Inu-Yasha was fighting back the terrible urge to sob anew. So, when Kagome took another step forward, he stepped back. She stopped, confused, and said
"What's wrong Inu-Yasha?"
'Does she truly not know what she said?' he thought desperately, 'Or is this some new form of torture she learned at her "School"?' Inu-Yasha was brought out of his tortured thoughts by Miroku's voice.
"Inu-Yasha! You should be ashamed of yourself! Treating Kagome this way! She comes all the way here to see you and you step away from her! Truly are you blind or just stupid!?"
Inu-Yasha recoiled as though he had been slapped. Miroku was surprised at this reaction but pressed his tirade further.
"You! How truly heartless can you be?!"
He was stopped by Kaede, who putting a hand on his arm, said to him in a soft whisper,
"Child, stop. Can you not see something is wrong?"
He redirected his attention to the scene in front of him, content to listen now that he had said his piece.
Kagome had stopped when Inu-Yasha stepped back. She was expecting anger, but this.this was worse than if he had yelled. Anger she could deal with, but this pure sorrow and fear she could not.
"Inu-Yasha. Come here."
Kagome held out her hand to the wary hanyou. But now the sorrow was replaced by anger beyond anything she had ever seen.
"And be a good dog, right? Kagome,"
Inu-Yasha closed his eyes and looked down, when he spoke again his voice told he was crying.
".you made your point quite clear before..why must you continue to torture me! Wasn't this enough? Do you want to see me beg for forgiveness? Or do you want to once again scorn the one you hate? If you are planning to, kill me instead..."
Inu-Yasha's voice got even softer as he raised his face and bored his desperate eyes into hers, the tears streaming down his face showed all that the spirit of this once proud hanyou was shattered in two.
" because my heart can't take that again."
Kagome stood rooted to the ground in shock.
'Inu-Yasha, this was all my doing! I didn't think of what I was saying! Oh, Inu-Yasha, I'm so sorry!'
Kagome's thoughts ran wild as did everyone's present.
Miroku was hitting himself for speaking to the broken hanyou so.
'How could I be so cruel? I was rubbing salt in wounds already to painful to bear..' He thought with intense regret.
All were drawn out of their thoughts when Inu-Yasha turned, picked up the Tetsusaiga and walked over toward Kagome. Stopping ten feet from her. He spoke in the desperate voice of one looking for something to hold on to.
"Did you really mean it? Do you truly..find me to be a worthless hanyou? I thing worthy only of contempt?"
When she didn't answer, Inu-Yasha turned and started to walk away. The village was frozen in the wake of this colossal event.
'I must say something! I truly love him! But why, why can't I speak! Inu- Yasha, can you ever forgive me?'
Kagome's pleading voice broke the silence.
"Inu-Yasha?"
He turned and his eyes showed his vulnerability and pain as he said to her.
"Please Kagome, let me go. Don't make me take this again.I.."
He looked down and his tears hit the ground like rain.
".I won't survive that again."
Inu-Yasha leapt into a tree and flew off toward the cliffs in the distance.
The village stood in silence. Not believing they had seen the strong spirit of their protector broken by the reincarnate of the one who had betrayed him so long ago.
Kagome fell to her knees.
"It's, it's all my fault."
To Be Continued....
Evil grin..another cliffie! Now that they've gotten through confrontation #1 we are well on our way to more painful discussions in Chapter 8: The Search for Inu-Yasha *coming soon*
The more you review..the faster they come!
You guys are the light of my life! Keep up the great (hopefully long) reviews! God I love 'em!
