The Music of a Broken Heart
Chapter Seven
The Lie That Mends
The moon went behind a large cloud and Sesshoumaru jumped down out of the tree he was in. He walked over to Kikyo's dead body and picked up Kodashie's weapon, then picked up the broken chain. Next he walked over to Kodashie's body, even for him, he could hardly tell that she was still alive. Her breathing was so shallow that the rise and fall of her chest looked like a trick played by the moonlight. Sesshoumaru gently picked up Kodashie.
"Your scent is a intoxicating as always Kodashie, I haven't forgotten nor will I ever," Sesshoumaru whispered into Kodashie's soft hair inhaling her scent. With that he turned around and faded into the shadows.
~~ The almost full moon shone up high in the hot summers night. Kagome was asleep after a long evening of trying to catch up to her classmates. Her class books were all over the place, one on the desk, one on the floor, and another on the corner of her bed where she fell asleep. A shadow fell over the sleeping teenage girl but she didn't wake up. From the window Inuyasha sat, staring down at Kagome a look between sadness and caring etched across his face.
"Oh Kagome, what have I done. I've killed one of the people that means the most to you. How will you look at me when you hear of what I've done? Of what I could have done to prevent it all. Id do anything if I didn't have to do this. Id do anything if I could go back in time and stop this from happening, Id do anything if I didn't have to see you staring at me as if I were some evil demon like Naraku or my brother Sesshoumaru. I don't know what I will ever do if I were to loose the love that you've given me. I love you Kagome." Inuyasha whispered, he then leaned over and kisses Kagome gently on the lips and turned around and left Kagome's room and went to the well room and waited for morning.
~~Kagome was humming as she walked along the temple grounds waiting for her brother Souta to hurry and get finished with his chores. It seems he wanted Kagome to give Inuyasha something when she returned,
'Ahh, a long few days of studding and catching up on the many diseases and sicknesses that my grandfather said that I have. I finally get to go back. I'm so glad I get to see Inuyasha again! Of course I get to see Kodashie, Shippou, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Kaede, and even on a lesser note Kouga. Even searching for the shards looks promising, even though we will probably be attacked by Naraku and Sesshoumaru at every turn. Even Inuyasha's petty insults look inviting right now.'
Kagome looked around looking for Souta and spotted a flash of red near the well. Since Souta had started to wear red ever since he met Inuyasha Kagome ran over thinking it was Souta.
"Souta." Kagome came around the corner of the well and saw instead of Souta, "Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha jumped up from his sleep and stared at Kagome, a painful expression could be clearly be seen on his face,
"Kagome we need to talk..." He said softly walking up to her.
~~ "Sesshoumaru-Samma, Rin wants to know. Who is she?" Rin asked as she squirmed impatiently on the stool she was sitting on outside of Sesshoumaru's bedchamber. She watched as her lord pace slowly back and forth deep in thought in front of her. his usually calm face was troubled.
"She's an old friend I haven't seen in a long time, why do you ask?" Sesshoumaru stopped his pacing and stared at the little girl.
"Rin thinks she is beautiful, will she stay and play with Rin," She asked looking hopeful, Sesshoumaru smiled a little.
"She might, hopefully she does," The door creaked open and a short mole yoaki with a whicker basket came out.
"My Lord, Lady Kodashie will be fine, she will be awake at any time and would probably be healed in two days time. If I remember correctly. she will try to get up and move about when she wakes up. Make sure that doesn't happen." With that the mole turned and left. Sesshoumaru turned towards Rin, to tell her to stay, but when he looked he saw that Rin had left the stool she was sating on and was climbing onto the bed that Kodashie was in.
"Rin." Sesshoumaru whispered hoping that Kodashie would still be asleep and not attack Rin, like she use to do when they were young and he would try and sneak up on her when she would be asleep.
He was too late the moment the word was out of his mouth Kodashie grabbed Rin's wrists and pinned Rin beneath her. Rin thinking this was some sort of game started to laugh as she kicked Kodashie trying to get her away. Kodashie let go of Rin and sat back on her heals as if unsure on what to do, her tail going back and forth as if angered by Rin and her snooping around.
Actually seeing Kodashie like that on his bed, alive and well was his undoing. All the memories of how he pictured her there, her living with him until there time was up. everything came flooding back.
"Kodashie?" He whispered, she looked over her shoulder at him, her long black hair spilling down her back, her lime green eyes glowing softly in the dark room.
"Sesshoumaru..." She said, just like she use to it sounded just like a caress to his ears, if this happened a few years ago, Sesshoumaru wouldn't be this cold and hard man that most people know him today as. No he would have run and tackled Kodashie right then and there like a little child. He gave up those 'childish' acts long ago when his brain realized that Kodashie was gone for good. A part of Sesshoumaru, screamed out to run at her and tackle her like before, but his other half was telling him not to, that he wasn't that little boy any more, a small sliver of himself was afraid she would disappear in a puff of smoke.
Neither demon moved, they both were waiting for something, anything. Kodashie was the first to make her move. She got of the bed and silently padded over to him and with eyes that showed that she was sad over something, but Sesshoumaru couldn't tell what or why she was sad to begin with.
"Your different Sesshoumaru, you've changed." She said softly, her voice tinged with sympathy, Sesshoumaru did the one thing his body has been doing for so long, he took a step back and watched as Kodashie's hand slowly drop to her side.
"Yes I have, come Rin its time for you to go to bed," He said stiffly, turned and walked out with out even waiting for the young girl called Rin, she jumped from the bed and skipped off after him.
Early in the morning when the sun hasn't even raised yet, the manor finally quieted. Sesshoumaru was in the guest room right next to his own bedchamber where Kodashie was. He could hear the light clanking of her weapons as she strapped them on. He walked over to the large window that over looked the massive garden he had in the back of his house. He opened it slowly because he knew it creaked and watched, he could see Kodashie moving about, as she got ready to leave. He wanted to stop her, he wanted to apologize for that he did, but he also knew that it was best to let her go.
'She would never be able to love me now that I've become this cold heartless monster, I could see the pain in her eyes when I moved from her touch.'
He saw her on the window's ledge looking around for anyone. She paused at the window Sesshoumaru was standing in, and her eyes narrowed as if she could see something. When she didn't see anything she shook her head and sighed, she even mumbled to herself.
"Wish I could see him one last time." And with that she jumped from the window and into the garden. Sesshoumaru looked down below and watched as she ran through all the plants and everything leaving no markings what so ever that she was ever there, so branch broken, no flower stepped upon, no blade of grass bent.
~~ Kodashie was making her way back towards where Inuyasha 'killed' her. Hoping to get there before any one noticed that she was gone, when she got off the grounds of Sesshoumaru's manor she tore off the bindings around her torso and left the bandages there on the ground.
'If I can get there and get back there and lay down where I fell when Inuyasha struck me I can pretend that im unconscious or something and then when Inuyasha brings Kagome back and when he tells the true tail and I am discovered to not be dead Ill give my version saying that I saw Kikyo walking around and I thought it was the real one and I thought that the Kikyo that was with Inuyasha and the others was Naraku trying to get the Shikon shards. Oh I hope I make it!'
Kodashie sighed in relief, she made it before Inuyasha and Kagome got there. She could tell because she could hear Inuyasha and Kagome yelling at each other from far away, from what Kodashie could tell Inuyasha wouldn't tell Kagome something and Kagome is mad at Inuyasha. Kodashie jumped through the camp that was empty, Sango, Miroku and Shippou left a few minutes ago to see what Inuyasha and Kagome were screaming about.
Kodashie stopped right in the same place she was not long ago, when she was still sort of controlled by Kikyo's spell. Kodashie stuck her sickle back into the hole in Kikyo's throat and tossed the chain where she remembered Inuyasha broke it. She then looked at the grass that was red with her own blood, most of it was dried but there were still a few places that were still damp Kodashie walked over and tried to remember how she fell onto the ground, since she couldn't remember she assumed that she fell on her chest since the whole front of her miko was caked with blood. When she did lay down on the ground and went into a medative deep sleep she knew that she was close to how she was when she fell the first time, she just hope it was enough to look like it was real and not disturbed like it really was.
~~ "Kagome I want you to see something before I tell you anything," Inuyasha said, he tried to ignore the cold looks that Miroku, Sango and Shippou were giving him for not telling Kagome in her own time.
"Ok," Kagome said nervously, ever since Inuyasha brought her back through the well she had been feeling that Inuyasha had something important to say but every time he tried he would snap his mouth shut and quicken his pace making her forehead smack into the back of his head one to many times.
Inuyasha took her hand and slowly led her into the woods, Sango, Miroku and Shippou followed behind. When Inuyasha stopped, Kagome looked around. At first she only saw Kikyo's body with Kodashie's sickle sticking out of her throat. Then she saw the broken part of Kodashie's chain. When she couldn't see anything else Kagome looked up at Inuyasha in confusion, instead of seeing him staring at her she saw that he was staring at something else, something in the shadows. Kagome fallowed his line of gaze and gasped when she saw a black form in the shadows. Kagome took small steps towards the dark form praying for it to be anyone but the person that her mind already labeled as Kodashie. When Kagome was standing at Kodashie's feet she gasped and sunk to her knees.
"Kodashie." Kagome leaned over and rolled Kodashie over, instead of looking at Kodashie's face she saw the gaping wound that could be seen through the tears in Kodashie's miko.
"INUYASHA! LOOK!!! Kodashie's moving; I just saw her face twitch in pain when Kagome turned her over. She's still alive!" Miroku exclaimed.
~~The rest of the night was a blur for Kagome, one moment she was knelling beside Kodashie's still form thinking she's dead and the next she's surrounded by her bag full of her first aid things bandaging the now awake but groggy Kodashie. The first words that Kodashie whispered when she woke up was, "Did I get Naraku?". Inuyasha tried to get more than that out of Kodashie but Kagome sat him and told him to stay until she was finished patching up Kodashie.
"Now tell me what do you mean by, 'did I get Naraku?'" Inuyasha demanded just once Kagome finished wrapping up Kodashie's torso.
"Wasn't that Naraku I killed?" Kodashie asked tilting her head towards where Kikyo's corpse was.
"No that was Kikyo, not Naraku," Inuyasha huffed,
"Oh, really I could have sworn it was Naraku because when I was traveling with Kouga I let him get ahead of me because I had a head ace and I saw a stream I was going to go and get a drink from. When I was about to start off again I saw Kikyo walking around with a group of kids with a bunch of herbs in her arms. I remembered Kikyo said something to me about wanting to go back to a village she stayed at then I remembered that Kikyo was with you guys and there was no way that she could have gotten past me and Kouga with out us knowing. So I turned around and headed towards where you guys were. When I got there I saw that there was a Kikyo there too. For some reason the Kikyo that was with you didn't seem like the Kikyo I knew she smelt different. So I attacked," Kodashie shrugged, "it really doesn't matter Kikyo was working with Naraku,"
Inuyasha looked around and noticed that the camp was deserted of everyone. Somewhere along the line they all left. Inuyasha flattened his ears in anger and did the only thing he knew; he punched Kodashie right in the jaw. Most demons would have been sent flying with that punch; others would have had a broken bone or two. Kodashie's face was just turned in the direction the blow was going. Kodashie turned and looked at Inuyasha with cold eyes that sent chills up his spine.
"What was that for?" Kodashie demanded, her voice low almost a growl.
"You killed Kikyo," Inuyasha stated his voice showing the hurt he felt at her second death.
"Ill be happy to send you to your death so you can be with her," Kodashie said growling as she got up and lunged for Inuyasha dealing her own blow to his jaw sending him reeling to the floor. "You've given Kagome enough pain! Why don't you just say that you don't love her hum? Why don't you just send her on her own little way since she isn't good enough for you!!! TELL MY WHY YOU WOULD SCORN LOVE THAT YOU GET FROM SOMEONE WHO IS LIVING!!!" Kodashie yelled right in his face and punched him a few more times before Miroku and Sango pulled Kodashie off of Inuyasha and still they had a hard time keeping a hold on her. Inuyasha just sat there on the floor and buried his face in his hands as Kodashie's words finally sank in.
"Oh god what have I done." Inuyasha said weakly, "I've done it again. First I struck you with a deathly blow since you killed Kikyo. Then I just struck you because you killed her. Why?"
"You moron, don't you get it. You cared you Kikyo because she was the first person that would look at you with kindness something that you hardly ever saw back then." Kodashie said softly then shrugged away from Sango and Miroku. "I'm going, I'm not needed here anymore, and I know where I belong. I have some work to do. Good luck on your journeys. Sango, Miroku I hope you two can push aside your differences and fall in love. you two make a great couple. Inuyasha I hope you can do the same with Kagome." And with those words Kodashie grabbed her katana and top parts of her miko outfit and turned and left leaving her broken sickle and chain behind.
