A/N- hope you enjoy the stori!
He had been through so much.. it hurt him to think about it.. It hurt him to think about his mom, and his dad for that matter..
He hated humans, he hated his life, he hated himself even. But what he hated most about himself was the fact that he was turning out to be just like his cold hearted and cruel brother. He hated the fact that he had no parents left and his only relative was a brother that hated him. He hated the fact that he would kill anyone, even women and children, without mercy. He hated the fact that he was always "wanted" and was always on the run.
He hated being a hanyou. There was no place for him.
Why? Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't he be like anyone and live a happy peaceful life? Why couldn't he be like any of the other village boys? Why did his mother get killed? Why did he change every blue moon? He managed to find the answers.
Because he was a hanyou.
He despised himself. He found no one else that was like him. They were either human or youkai. He hated that. That he had no one that could understand him.
He lived in loneliness.
And now he was getting prepared to kill another village.
He stood beside a river and looked at his own reflection with horror. He hated himself.
He walked boldly into the village and flexed his claws.
Everyone ran screaming. They all knew and feared him, even if he was only 13. It didn't matter.
He slashed out at everyone. Blood flew everywhere. It seeped into the ground, causing more screams, more chaos.
He smelled food. It was coming from that hut. The hut in the corner of the village..
Inuyasha walked into the small house, his head brushing the ceiling. He saw a teenage girl curled up beside the fire, clutching a little girl.
She had a weapon, bows and arrows.
"Don't come any closer," she warned.
Inuyasha snarled. "Why? Are you scared?" He knew for a fact she was scared, he sensed it.
"I am only protecting my baby sister, Kagome, since you have killed all my other family members," she said. Inuyasha took a look into her eyes. They held fire, and a hunger for revenge.
'Now they know how it feels to be parentless, now they know how I feel,' Inuyasha thought.
"I am Kikyou, protecter of the Shikon Jewel! Do not step any closer! I will defiantly kill you!"
She watched as he ran toward her, and he was fast.
Too fast.
He grabbed onto her neck, but not before she was able to shoot one of her powerful arrows at him.
Inuyasha growled. This person, this human, had dared to shoot him? Very strange.
He twisted his fingers around her neck, applying more pressure by the minute. He watched as she struggled to breath, clawing at his hands.
Then something made him loosen his grip. The little girl had woken up.
'Oh well, I'll kill her too,' he thought
But the little girl did not run away, as he thought she might have. She stood up, a defiant look in her eyes. "Let go you jerk!" she screamed, her face turning red from held back tears.
"Let go of my sister!" she repeated.
Inuyasha did nothing but tighten his grip.
He felt the woman go limp under his grip. It told him she was dead. He threw her on the floor carelessly.
"Nee-chan!" (does that mean sister? Hopefully it does hehe)
The little girl rushed toward her sister. "Wake up!! You can't die now!" she said desperately.
Inuyasha watched as the little girl knelt beside her sister and cried. The tears that flowed from her eyes were like diamonds. Pure, beautiful diamonds.
This somehow reminded Inuyasha of himself, how he had cried when his mother had died, and it was the same way too, by suffocation.
Something in his heart gave a jolt. Some of his wall of hatred fell apart, and opened up to this girl, although he didn't know it.
Kikyou groaned, a sign that indicated she was still alive, but barely.
"I'm so sorry, Kagome.. I shouldn't have let you watch that.."
Kagome reached out to caress her sister's cheek. "Don't say sorry! It wasn't your fault! It was that dumb hanyou's fault! He should've never come to this village!" she screamed, tears plummeting down her face.
Inuyasha was taken aback. 'That stupid hanyou' that's what she had called him. And that's what he was. He could only watch as the small girl kept crying.
"Do not cry dear sister, it is not like you. You are always smiling and happy," Kikyou whispered.
"Take the Shikon Jewel, and-" she could hardly breath anymore. "take it and run!"
She pressed a bright and glittering jewel into the small girl's hands.
"Nee- nee-chan! Noo! Don't die! Please! I don't want you to! Noooo!"
But she had already begun her journey to the heavens above.
Kagome stared at her sister in shock. No, this had not just happened. It was just a dream, this wasn't true. She tried to convince herself that this wasn't happening, but she knew it was. She looked over to her sister's murderer, feeling anger and the need for revenge build inside her. But then she remembered the Shikon Jewel was in her hold now. She couldn't stain it with hatred! That would ruin everything her sister had worked. Her soul had to remain pure.
She tried to look at it in a way her sister would. Her sister would forget and forgive, but she could not. Forcing herself to try to see it a different way, she opened her eyes and looked at him again.
What she saw was a bit surprising to her. She saw what was underneath the killer. She saw hurt and pity. She saw anger. But what she saw most was sadness. The sadness was so great that it made her want to cry again.
Then she did something totally unexpected. She ran and hugged him.
Even thought he smelt of blood and dirt, she still wrapped her small arms around his waist.
Inuyasha's POV..
My eyes widened in shock. This girl was hugging me? After what I had done to her sister, I had thought that she would want to come charging at me with a kitchen knife or something.
It had been such a long time since anyone had every hugged me, or even dared to come close to me. Only mother had hugged me when I was little, and now I had this girl's family. This was all my fault.
But for now I put my guiltiness aside and hugged her back.
She was so soft and cute; I couldn't help but to feel sorry for her.
I bent down o her height. "I'm so sorry," I whispered. "I- I didn't know what I was doing."
She nodded her head and sniffed a little. Suddenly she buried her face into my chest, hugging onto me tight.
This.. girl, wasn't she afraid of me? Obviously not, for she kept crying, having not a care in the world.
This reminded me of when I had cried, and mother had been by my side, soothing me, saying that everything was going to be okay.
Now I did this. Even thought I felt a little embarrassed, I kept on saying soothing words and patting her back.
One minute ago, I had been killing the entire village, now I was comforting this girl. What did her sister call her? Kagemi? Kagame? Kagome? Ka- wait, it was Kagome wasn't it? Yes, that was her name, wasn't it? ..
Normal POV..
The entire village was dead except for one little girl, who was fast asleep on Inuyasha's lap. She looked so innocent and cute when she was sleeping. Inuyasha moved a bit uncomfortably. He didn't like the feeling of this human girl sleeping on him like he was a pillow! And most of his pity for the little dirty human had left now, and anger, confusion and most of his old self had replaced that pity.
'Now this girl knows how it feels to be parentless,' he thought, trying to convince himself that that was the truth.
But he knew it wasn't. This girl was different. She forgave him. She was kind. She even had hugged him. Kagome.. Kagome..
