By The Light Of The Moon
Chapter16: Itsuki's Flower
AN: I really hate doing author's notes, but I just wanted to say that if I post an author's note, you might want to read it because I only write them if I have something important to say.
I wanted to say an extra thank-you to pruningshears for being one of my best reviwers. And I want to add that I welcome flames, if you find something wrong with my story tell me, I am always open minded. If you don't tell me I can't fix it.
Thank-you to all of those who reviewed. *************************************************************
The months had passed by, but Itsuki never took the time to notice. She had pulled herself in tight, wrapped up in her own protective world and blocking out the rest.
She found no point in waking up every morning, or eating. She felt no purpose to taking a breath of fresh air if you couldn't enjoy it. Life had lost its purpose. There was no reason for her to live. But she did.
Day after day she woke up and never smiled, never enjoyed anything.
Her world was grey and blank, no color. No smells no tastes, she had lost everything.
Even her appearance showed the pain in her heart. Her eyes were smaller and never twinkled. Her hair had lost its sheen and brightness. She would never have any wrinkles, she made no facial expression at all. Her face was pale form the lack of sunshine.
There was something completely odd about her though. Her arms were thick with muscles and you could step on her stomach and hurt your foot. Her legs could with stand miles and miles of running. She was well trained and muscular, which made her look even more sick.
The old witch, Kaede had died. Kagome always told her it was back in the spring, but it had felt like summer to her. Itsuki loved the cold. Her feet were like icicles and she never slept with a blanket.
Kagome had given up on her. She had problems of her own. She needed to focus on her new daughter.
That was the only person that could get a response out of Itsuki. Just a little girl.
Lilith; the white-haired, blue-eyed angel. She had a smirk that would make the oceans split. A smile so innocent angels treasured her. She was kind heart and good natured, despite her agility in battle and her tendency to violence. She truly cared about people and her family, she idolized Itsuki, and, secretly she trained every night and strained to control minds.
She was so good, she could catch fragments of thoughts. Itsuki felt that once the training was over, she might finally be allowed to die. It was what she had longed for. But she never thought of suicide.
Kagome had grown accustomed to her new home and enjoyed her surroundings.
Inuyasha was frequently away, but surprisingly he made time to see Lilith every night. Inuyasha had some business to take care of, that was all anyone knew. Kagome trusted him with her life and even more. Lilith treasured her father as Itsuki once had loved her own father. But it was different, Inuyasha loved her back.
Itsuki felt isolated, no one knew what it was like to have loved Ryu with all her heart, but him not love her back. Itsuki felt that she could never love again.
She felt old and past her time. When her time came, that would be the time she felt happiness, when she felt release from her cage. *************************************************************
