Chapter 6: How.....Did I Fall In Love With You?
Hitomi was slammed against a police car. Her arms were roughly pulled behind her back and chained together with silver cuffs. Silver. Hitomi's skin around her wrist's started to get itchy and irritated. They had already began to become red. Kagome and Rin watched as Hitomi watched as there sister was read her rights. But what for? What had Hitomi done that night while the ceremony was taking place. There was no trace of anything horrible happening. So, what?
"Hitomi Shinigami. Age: 17. Responsible for the murder of Chihiro Utsuki. Witnessed by hidden citizen Astrid Cole. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to an attorney and court. Please duck your head as you climb into the vehicle," said the officer as he pushed her into the police car.
They all drove away, sirens whaling their high pitched whales. Rin and Kagome started to run after the police cars, but couldn't reveal themselves. Not in broad daylight. The memory of this morning flashed into their minds. Laughing. Tickling. Giggling. It all seemed as if a memory down Hope's lane, always hoping for it to return to them soon. Then Kagome remembered the name of the one who "had witnessed it." Kagome smelled something uneasy about this. Hitomi wouldn't murder a stranger. Unless........
No! It couldn't be! It only struck those of the weak. Those who can't fight it. It was a rare thing. But........ Kagome gripped Rin's hand and raced into the house. She scanned the calender. Searching the dates. Until it was right in front of her eyes. Hitomi had disappeared that same day their pack was slaughtered. She had the smell of their blood all over her, but Kagome assumed that it was her rolling in the blood and weeping. But, the exact same day in the now. No. She couldn't have murdered that poor woman. Kagome walked to the couch, shocked and bleary eyed. Rin ran upstairs and cried her eyes out. She thought it all over, but there were only those two clues. There was no other clues to uphold the theory of the disease.
Like there are disease for humans there will always be diseases for other beings too. It was a special disease that werewolves were only struck with. It drove the human side away for the animal to take over. It was then a rouge werewolf. It ran wild. Searching for fresh blood and young kill. The woman that had died was young blooded, but their pack wasn't.
Kagome looked out of the window. It was getting dark fast. She ran up to Rin's room and they both jumped out the window. When they landed they were fully transformed. Kagome looked at Rin, but didn't have time to praise and fawn over Rin's accomplishment and apparently, neither did Rin. They ran through the forest and as they neared the pack an aura of uneasiness could be felt. They both slowed their pace and walked into the clearing that their pack were gathered in. They too changed into their half-forms, werewolf.
There were stared at with both pain and anger. And........trust less? How did they lose their trust? Who's trust? A few wads of......dirt? Yes, it was. They were thrown at Rin by......the younger ones? Why? Rin started to whine a little with her head faced downwards. It was after the sixth wad of dirt was thrown did Kagome yell for them to stop. They immediately stopped, frightened, and ran to their parents who gave them angry stares that said 'Do you have to cause us more pain.'
Kagome started to feel guilty, but kept her mask of calmness and ignored the angry glares and sneers. Even Inu Yasha, whom she started to like, a lot, had a sympathetic look on. Kagome neared Aunt Esm`e. Aunt Esm`e said, "What brings-" "Get out of here, you-you pieces of dung! Do you need to cause any more pain to this pack! It's bad enough that we have to live with the disgrace of you and you're pack!, " yelled Astrid. "What are you talking about you and you're pack! You are the disgrace! You're the one who told the police! If it was one of the pack members who had done it then it's the pack's problem not the police!," shot back Kagome. "You may have a point there, child, but we have already gone into authorities," answered Aunt Esm`e, "And, we're not sure what to do. Did she do it? Did Hitomi really do it?"
"What are you talking about?!," yelled Kagome, "Of course she did!," yelled Astrid, "I saw it with my own eyes!" "I'm sorry, but we are all in doubt and we must.......ask you to leave. The child can stay, but you must go. We at least owe you that much," said Aunt Esm`e. Kagome looked at every face. Disappointed and angry. Had this pack softened that much without a permanent leader?
Sesshomaru stepped in with his dutiful grace. "She has asked you to leave." Kagome looked up at the tall figure, eyes squinted in malice and more disappointment. "Fine. I'll go. If you are going to give up on her that easily, then I'm her only hope. You won't so I will. I thought this was a stronger pack. With pride for every member," said Kagome, all of her rage sewed into every word. She kneeled down to Rin and picked her up. Kagome cradled her in her arms and stared into those big chocolate eyes. She smiled a light and sad smile.
Kagome quickly stuffed Rin into Sango's arms and said, "Rin you be good. I don't come back alive take care of her, Sango. It's the least you can do." She looked back at the pack and semi-yelled so that they all could hear, "What about the most? Where is them MOST?! Rin, I.......I might not be able to come back alive, but I'll try." With that she ran towards the police station.
The pack waited. Days past. Rin grew stubborn and started to say harsh words to the members of the pack who came near her. She hated them all. Because of them she lost both of her sisters. Then, a few months later, Kagome's blood filled the forest with a very familiar scent. Everyone turned their heads as Rin sped past. Then she stopped at the edge of the clearing. Two figures were limping toward them. When they walked into the clearing, a gasp filled the forest. A blood Hitomi and Kagome stood there. Kagome holding up Hitomi. Rin ran to them, but was quickly caught by Sango. "Rin, stay back. It might be dangerous."
Rin bit Sango's hand, hard. Sango yelped in pain and let go and Rin dashed to her long lost sisters. She forced Hitomi to the ground, squeezing her hard and cried. Hitomi weakly wrapped her arms around Rin. Hitomi's blood covered Rin and Kagome. What happened to her? was the question the filled the empty space. Hitomi's blood filled the ground, the moon's light reflecting off of it.
The pack was about to race to her aid when Astrid charged at Hitomi. "I was saving the last of my strength to hug you, Rin, you know that? But, I have to protect you," whispered Hitomi. She threw Rin off just in time. Astrid kicked her up and she went flying. She hit a nearby tree, well, cracked it, too. It started to topple over. *BOOM* It landed on the ground. With Hitomi under it. Astrid was taken down by none other than Sesshomaru. She was pinned to a tree herself. She looked seductively at him, but her fate was sealed.
The blood-scent of the woman who was reported earlier was clearer than ever! Sesshomaru steamed underneath, but was seen as the usual cold self. He swiftly ripped her heart out and crushed it in his grasp. Astrid's body plummeted to the ground. Blood seeped into the ground below, turning it an autumn brown.
Sesshomaru swiftly ran to the fallen tree and lifted it off of Hitomi's body. The others rushed to his aid and safely set the tree aside. Sesshomaru kneeled next to Hitomi. She started to speak, but was cut off. Her eyes started to water and then tears left trail marks on her face. Sesshomaru started to feel his head get warm and it felt weird. He suddenly felt something run down his face. He wiped it away and whispered to his love, "Don't leave us here. We all still need you. I need you." She whispered back, "When the time comes, to finally die A savor will come and help me by Making the angels of heaven cry. The dove of life, so young and pure Will help me love and find the cure............."
She had gone. She had left them there. Sesshomaru howled his troubles away that night. Slowly melting in, so did everyone else. It was a night to remember.
Kagome walked up behind Sesshomaru and softly placed a hand on his shoulder. A year had passed and they had all moved to a forest filled area, with Hitomi. She was now buried at the spot where Sesshomaru knelt. "You know....what she said was told to her by someone in the past. A very old friend of hers. Would you like to meet her?," asked Kagome. Sesshomaru nearly jumped at the question. Nearly. "What was this woman's name? And, yes, I would," answered Sesshomaru. "You'll know soon enough, dear brother," said Kagome as Sesshomaru faded into darkness then into light.......
Don't let the Darkness take you.
Hitomi was slammed against a police car. Her arms were roughly pulled behind her back and chained together with silver cuffs. Silver.
