============= Chapter Five =============
Tears falling down like rain,
Streaming down from my heart....
Kagome sighed, still standing in the rain. She looked down at her reflection, she didn't see herself ....but a miko. A sad and depressed miko. The rain that poured to the ground pounded on her reflection.
She looked back down at it, her image barley seeable from the heavy rain that pounded onto earth.
"So alone....." she whispered. Looking down at her lonely reflection.
InuYasha watched from behind a tree, watching her cry. He believed that maybe Kagome would not want to see him, and yet, he didn't want to leave her hurt like that.
Seeing her hurt and crying felt as if it was he who had been the one hurt.
He felt his claws digging into the bark of the tree.
He couldn't bear watching her cry.
~But she needs time...to heal. I'll probably just make everything much worse~
Kagome closed her eyes, she could feel the coldness of the Shikon no Tama clutched tightly in her soaking hands.
~I guess.....this is my fate? To always be hurt like this...But if it is my duty to protect the shard.....then I will. If....if what Lady Metaka had said was the way....then I guess....that will be how I'm supposed to be~
Kagome frowned,
~Where is she anyway.....?~
InuYasha watched as Kagome headed another direction. Away from the hut.
He followed her secretly to see her walking into the temple...
~What the hell....~
He didn't follow in, but frowned as he turned and walked back towards the hut. He was worried.....
He was worried about Kagome's emotional state and also her safety.
Since she had the full shard, once the demons finds out, which wont be long/ She's be in danger.
*
As Kagome entered the temple, the people within rose and stared at her. Whispering:
"Is she not the knew priestess?"
"But I heard she was unwilling"
"I heard she was the reincarnation of Lady Kikyo"
"Really? I heard she was a great miko until that demon fellow ruined it all for us"
"Feh, he was sure a lot of trouble!"
"Yes, he kept coming and coming and coming. Never stopped attacking until he actually fell in love with our priestess"
"Yes, but then betrayed her"
"What trouble he caused for us all"
Kagome swallowed hard, ~InuYasha had caused....that much trouble?~
"I....I have decided" Kagome said.
Silence.
"Are you very sure, Lady Kagome?" a monk asked.
She nodded.
"Since..we found Lady Metaka dead....you shall have to train yourself"
Kagome's eyes widened in surprise and shock, though she really didn't give a damn if that miko was dead or not. It was just surprising.
"All you have to know is what Lady Metaka has told you.....to help others and protect this shard"
"Hai" Kagome answered.
They all bowed down to Kagome,
"We all welcome you"
Kagome sadly and distantly smiled, her mind was only imprinted with a faint image of....
InuYasha
Kagome placed her hand on her heart, she could feel it pounding painfully.
He had seen Kikyo and had hid it from her....
Guilt.....
Why.....would he have felt guilt to tell her?
Because he still loved Kikyo...
"Let us get ready now" a monk announced.
*
InuYasha sat on the steps of the hut. The roof over him protecting him from the heavy rainfall.
Listening to the rain pitter pattering.
Watching the rain fall onto the ground, looking small crystals that fell from heaven.
Feeling....nothing but pain.
He stared out at the gray sky, waiting..... for Kagome to come back.
He had asked Kaede of why Kagome had gone to the temple....
***Flashback***
"Kaede-baba, why'd Kagome go to that temple?!" he asked.
"Temple....?"
"Keh, you deaf you old hag?"
Silence.
"I see.....so she has chosen...."
"Dammit! Chosen what?!" InuYasha asked a little louder in annoyance.
"Patience my dear Hanyou" Kaede muttered in deep thought.
"Don't dear me" InuYasha muttered.
"I see that Kagome has chosen....to become a miko"
"N- Nani...."
***End of Flashback***
InuYasha looked down, he could feel pain throbbing in his chest.
~Why does Kagome want to sacrifice her happy life for this crap. This isn't even her world.....sometimes she's too kind and loving for her own good~
Why.....
He sighed heavily and looked back up at the sky, no light shining through the thick gray sky.
The wind blowing across the land, causing a sound that sounded like moaning.
The weather made him feel sulkier than he already was.
He held the charm necklace Kagome had given him and held it tight.
He waited....
And waited...
But she didn't come back.
He stood up, the cold rain suddenly splashing down heavily on to him. In his heart he could feel Kagome's tears.....he could scent the salty tears of hers.
He broke into a run,
~Kagome....why are you crying?~
*
She wiped away her tears of sorrow, that had secretly escaped from her eyes.
"My Lady" a monk said, "you are now fully responsible of the Shard. We are glad to have you as our new priestess"
Kagome smiled slightly and nodded her head,
~A true miko must not talk too much~
"We trust you...we believe that you shall not fail us" the highest ranking of the monk said.
She nodded again.
They placed the shard on a special place that had charms surrounding the place.
Suddenly, a demon soaked in rain bursted into the temple.
The guards that had been at the gates of the temple were scattered all over the place.
The people within the temple took out spears and held it up at the demon.
They all glared at him, glares mixed with extreme fright.
The demons form shadowed by the darkness of the sky. It just stood there, seeming to be staring at Kagome.
"Lady Kagome, it is your job in this time to slay this demon, every demon that tries to get their hands on the shard!!!"
Kagome took out her bow and arrows, aiming it straight at the demon.
The demon started to slowly walk closer to her,
"SHOOT!"
She just couldn't seem to shoot.....her heart....it wouldn't let her let go.
"Don't you....know me...Kagome...?" he asked in a whisper.
Kagome looked at the figure, as he got closer, his features became more clear. It revealed a look of a hurt and sad Hanyou...
"InuYasha" Kagome whispered, as a tear dropped from her eyes, the pain coming freshly back at her again. ~I can't share you with Kikyo...not when you said you loved only me.....why have I become so selfish~
~Love....it is not selfish....~
InuYasha raised his hand up to her face and wiped her tears gently away,
"W- why are you crying...? Is it cuz of these bitches?" InuYasha asked.
"L- Lady Kagome...." They muttered.
~Love.....but this is only one love out of the many other loves that will be killed away if I don't protect this shard....One out of many...~ Kagome realized,
~and...I am a miko.....he is a demon~
"You know him?!" a monk asked.
"H- hai..."
"Do you know who he is?!!!! He is the one that killed Lady Kikyo!!!! Our dear MIKO!!!"
"I..know.....but..."
"He will try to take it again!"
"And what the fuck are you trying to say?!" InuYasha asked.
They all glared at him,
"We are saying....that you should stay away from our lady....it seems that you deeply care for her.....yet it looks different from the way you cared for Lady Kikyo with. But if you care for her....leave her be" they said.
InuYasha turned and looked at Kagome,
"N-nani? I wouldn't hurt Kagome....or betray her...Hell, you guys made her cry!" InuYasha yelled.
"Cry? Not us..."
InuYasha turned to Kagome,
"Why....were you crying...?" he asked.
She looked sadly into his big gold, cat-like eyes. Then looked away.
He read it in her eyes.....she had been crying.....because of him.
He had hurt Kagome....
Again.
"InuYasha.....maybe....just for now, it would be better if....if we didn't see each other....." Kagome whispered, ~if you're not near....just for a while, maybe my heart will mend back to normal....How can I do my job if you're near~
InuYasha looked away,
"Because I'm a demon....you're just like Kikyo. She didn't want me to be a demon, but a human...." InuYasha whispered as he turned around in rejection.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, trying to run after him, but a monk held her arms.
"A demon is not meant to live, but is born to live a life of eternal damnation, which is to be ended by the arrow of the miko"
Kagome stared at InuYasha walking away,
"InuYasha....." Kagome whispered.
*
InuYasha walked through the rain, his silver hair all soaked.
He just stood there, looking out far away.
~I don't belong here....~
He walked through the rain, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
He looked back,
The temple but a blur in the heavy rain,
He could feel his Haori sticking onto his body from the rain.
He turned back one last time and left....
His heart beating in pain and sorrow, that beated sharply in his heart.
~If only I had the power to stop this pain that's growing in my heart....to stop the bleeding it my heart.....but I cant~
*************************************************
A shadow lurked through the forest.
She looked around the forest,
"Finally...." She whispered,
"After 50 years.....the curse that has sealed me has broken....."
"Finally....."
She walked out of the dark forest, the place heavily raining. She looked around.....everywhere was so different. The world had changed a little since the time she had been sealed away.
She had tried many times to steal the Shikon no Tama, but a miko by the name Lady Kikyo had sealed her with a damnable curse.
The only advantage of the seal was that it had preserved her age and beauty.
As she walked, the other shadows that lurked around formed into shadow demons as they followed her.
She looked in the direction of where the temple would be. But it was a day or so away.
~I need the shard....I could feel it a distant away. I need power and revenge~
"I will smite Lady Kikyo with all my powers...if she is dead, then the miko who is in possession of the shard. The shard is mine!!"
*
InuYasha sat on a cliff, looking down at the temple a distant away,
"Fine, be like that wench" InuYasha muttered, "I'll leave you and never come back...."
Silence, with only the sound of the rain falling onto the earth.
InuYasha sat there, rain pouring onto him, unable to look away from the place Kagome was.....
He felt something in him pulling towards the place.
"Keh, why would I want to be with that wench anyway" InuYasha asked himself, though it was obvious...
Love.
InuYasha growled in annoyance. Then sighed,
"Why did she do this to me......If she said she loved me"
~No....but Kagome....I know you too well....you're not Kikyo. You wouldn't give me up that easily.....just because of your duty......~
InuYasha looked down at the soaked grass,
~But how long will it be....'till you want me back....until you realize....that we need each other? Will it be someday soon...or some day in the future~
InuYasha let out a heavy sigh,
"Kagome.....fine....I'll leave....but, I wont be able to stay away for long. I guess....you don't need me for now. You're probably gunu be really busy with your miko work"
InuYasha closed his eyes,
Letting the cold rain fall down onto him,
Trying to make it wash out the hot, burning pain that pounded through his heart.
But it was permanent, a wound only Kagome could heel....
*
