By The Light Of The Moon
Chapter15: Remains
*************************************************************
Kagome dropped the saber to her side and sighed deeply.
"How's the arm?" She asked softly.
"It'll heal." Inuyasha said simply.
"I'm hungry." She said and gathered Itsuki's body into her arms.
"We'll take her to Kaede's then come back and bury the body." Kagome said gesturing towards Ryuki.
Inuyasha nodded and turned to go.
"Hey, thanks." Kagome said holding Inuyasha's hand.
She gripped it harder and pressed it to her heart.
Inuyasha freed his hand and gripped her shoulders, she sank into him with a sigh and let Itsuki's head fall onto her left shoulder. Inuyasha's left arm guided her through the forest as they made their way through the mud. *************************************************************
"Look what the dog dragged in." Kaede said as they laid Itsuki down on the small straw bed in Kaede's small hut.
"Help her." Kagome said pleadingly.
Kaede nodded and reached for a small vile of greenish liquid.
Inuyasha and Kagome both slipped back into the rain. *************************************************************
The rain had stopped when they reached the small clearing behind Ryuki's hut.
Kagome dropped to her knees beside the body and turned it over.
She gasped at all the scratches that littered the young face, all the bruises that covered her porcelain skin, and all the blood that ran down her clothes, soaking deeply into the silk and wool.
Without a word she began digging a shallow grave and gently placed the body inside.
"I'll take care of Itsuki." She whispered and pulled the stained blond hair away from the face.
Kagome finished pushing the wet mud into place when she felt the warmth of a fire.
Turning, she saw the remains of Ryuuni burst into flames.
Inuyasha held the torch for a second longer, then threw it forcefully into the rest of the remains. *************************************************************
Now it was time to feed. Their hunt was lighted by the light of the moon. *************************************************************
Kagome glared, she had found her prey. Her leg muscles tightened as she ascended into the branch above. The unsuspecting below.
Jumping down she gripped his shoulders and snapped his neck between her palms. The fangs grew longer swiftly and she kissed the pale flesh of her kill. Biting in she drank her fill, draining the body and throwing it to the ground.
Her night was over, she had given Inuyasha her first kill. The sun would be up soon. It had never burned her skin, and she knew it was about time to get a tan, but her eyes had grown accustomed to the darkness and the bright light hurt her eyes.
So, she continued on to Kaede's and fell asleep next to Itsuki. *************************************************************
Like I said in the last chapter, I finished this chapter at 9/20, but I am not able to get on the internet. You may yell at me in your review, if you even think you should review. But if you do review a thousand thanks.
