A Single Red Rose
She walked a safe distance from the tree's, close to the water, following the stream. She figured that a village or a small cottage might be built near the stream, for easy access to water.
The soft sound of cricket's engulfed her senses in the night and was becoming aggitating to her ears, soothing, but aggitating. It was slowly lulling her to sleep, turning her brain's into mush, making her eyelid's and her step's heavier.
They stopped.
She immediately froze in her step's and was wide awake as soon as the thousand member chorus of the tiny insect's ceased. She listened intently to any sound's that met her ear's.
She stood there for a moment hearing nothing but the gentle whisper's of the water, but still listening rather intently. Never in her life had she wished she had her bow and arrow's so much.
Her miko sense's picked up a presence nearby.Her mind registered the presence."A youkai!"she whispered so quietly she couldn't even hear herself say it.
She looked around frantically, trying to catch sight of the creature, and slowly started to back towards the water.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she feared for her life.
"KOGOME!!!!"
She let a gasp escape her throat and let out a sigh of relief to hear Shippou's voice.
"Shippou?" she said quietly.
"KOGOME!!! WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUUU?!" came Shippou's young, tear filled voice.
"KOGOME-CHAN?"She heard her best friend, Sango's worried, tired voice, vibrate through the air.
"SANGO-CHAN, SHIPPOU! I'M OVER HERE!!"Kogome yelled. She hadn't realised how much she missed them until now.
She heard the rustling of leaves as the two familiar face's materialized from the forest. Shippou had tears streaming down his face as he bound across the ground, wailing, as he leaped into her shivering arm's babbling like an escaped mad man.Sango looked utterly relieved.
She looked as if she had been crying too.
Kogome sank to her knees clutching the crying kitsune to her chest, taking comfort in the presence of her friend's. Sango knelt to the ground and embraced the two as Kirara appeared behind her.
They stayed like that for a few moment's. Kogome absorbing the comfort that they all willingly offered.
Sango was the first to pull away from the hug.
She lightly grasp Kogome's chin, brushed the stray hairs that had float down and covered the wound away and turned her head so she could get a better view of the damage Inuyasha had inflicted. She grimaced at the sight.
She had walked in the room just in time to see him strike her. She had not heard the entire conversation only the last line of what was said...
****************Sango****************
Kaeda had asked Sango to gather herbs for her. She wanted to wait for Kogome but she didn't know where she was or when she would return.
When she woke up that morning Kogome wasn't there. Inuyasha said she had went to bathe, but when she got to thier usual bathing area she wasn't there. She waited for a while, but Kogome never came.
She decided that the bath might have been an excuse to sneek back to her time. But she was still worried, it wasn't like Kogome to stay away this long unannounced, but she didn't voice her concern, yet.
So she took Kirara and went to gather herb's for Kaeda.
When she had all the herbs Kaeda had wanted she headed back towards the village, walking slowly and enjoying the twilight of the darkening sky. The sun cast it's light over the land making it a deep maroon as the first twinkiling pin holes made themselve's known. The moon was a pumpkin orange when it first rose into the sky. It slowly turned into a rosie pink and then silver in just meer minutes.
When she reached the outskirt's of the forest, Kirara trailing behind her the whole time, she heard Inuyasha's voice yelling from Kaeda's hut.
She sighed as a small smile played on her lips. Kogome was back and they were at it again.
Sango quickened her step's eager to see her friend and ask her where she had been all day.
When she was a meter away from the small hut she started to listen to what was being said.
".....DON'T LIE TO ME!"Inuyasha yelled.
Sango pushed the door aside.
"OHOHOO!!I see how it is! You can run around with that little tramp and-"
Sango stood frozen from shock at the scene before her. 'Inuyasha just...' she gasped,'..oh god's....no!' She wished and hoped that this was just a bad dream.
But it wasn't.
Kogome stood, tears streaming down her face, staring in disbelief at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha wore an extremely shocked expression while staring at his hand as if it were a foriegn object, he looked as if he were going to burst out in tears himself. Kikyou stood not to far behind him grinning from ear to ear, looking as if she was enjoying every moment of the scene before her.
Miroku had dropped his staff when 'it' happened. He gasped and was gaping at Inuyasha. Shippou had stood there for a moment eye's round from shock and then, bound across the room pounding on Inuyasha's right leg. Kaeda simply looked at the ground shaking her head gently.
Kirara took a step back, her eye's also wide. As realization washed over Sango her own eye's watered as she sent her heart out to Kogome.
Kogome lifted her hand up to her cheek and Sango saw a trickle of blood run from her lip as her tears intensified.
Inuyasha took a step towards Kogome, his heart was breaking as he saw the tears mixed with blood and an already forming bruise on her cheek. As soon as he moved in her direction she ran. "Kogome......" Inuyasha whispered as he watched her retreating figure.
Shippou was now laying in a heap on the floor, head in his hands, screaming incoherent threat's and question to Inuyasha.
Miroku, when out of his daze, walked over to Sango with a worried face and said,"We have to find Kogome! We can't let her stay out there alone!"
Sango agreed willingly and said that she would take Shippou. Miroku Suggested that he go and stay by the well in case she went there and decided to come back later.
Shippou sniffed his way into the forest and there search began.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh Kogome-chan." Sango said in a teary voice still looking at the large wound on her face. Sango had the urge to go and break every bone in Inuyasha's body for what he did to her.
They embraced once again and Kogome let tear's, once again, engulf her.
Well there it is so far. I hope you guy's like this chapter. In the next chapter your going to find out why he did it but until then I'll keep you guy's in suspense! ^-^ please R+R
