Thanks Abby-Kitty for encouraging me to keep writing! We need to do something one of these days! Btw, most of this is just what's going on in their heads..
"A Forrest Painted Red"
Sesshoumaru hated to admit it, but he had the slightest fear of his little brother and his feeling for the girl. If the argument was about anything else, Sesshoumaru would have no fear against the half demon.but when it was about that woman, he was afraid of the beast.
But Sesshoumaru had never met anyone like Kagome before. He thought of her constantly. Her undying kindness never ceased to surprise him. Her face reminded him of the finest porcelain. Her raven hair swayed slightly in the warm breeze. He thought of her as an angel. She made him want to be a better person.or demon. Sesshoumaru knew she could light up a tomb with her smile, as she had lit up his heart and his life. As the group traveled on, his eyes could not be drawn from her. He chuckled to himself as he remembered his ignorance at the beginning of this adventure. When he called her a wench and a bitch and hated her as he hated his brother. But that had all changed. **********
Kagome laughed as the sun hit her scarred cheeks. The gentle wind swayed in the trees, whispering a song. She looked around and saw all this life, the birds whistled and squirrels played tag in the shade of the trees. Villagers plowed through the field carrying out their everyday lives. Kagome sighed, remembering her sickness. 'If I'm going to leave this world, I will leave it in happiness'. She was determined to make her last days her best. She would conquer Naraku, get the jewel back for Inu Yasha.and hopefully return to home and say her partings to her family.
She stared from Inu Yasha to Sesshoumaru. Both were blank, and their minds were unreadable to her. Kagome was torn between the two brothers. Sesshoumaru had so much potential. He wanted to change and help people, and she admired that. He would actually talk to her too. But.Inu Yasha.whom she had loved for what seemed forever.was different. He was strong and silent, and yet friendly at the same time. They had been through so much together. It was hard to think that all he saw in her was his beloved Kikyo.and the means to get his paws on the Shikon no Tama. And yet.she still had feelings for him.for both of them. They were so alike, and so different too. It struck her mind suddenly that it didn't matter whom she thought she loved. Her days were almost over anyway, it was pointless. **********
Inu Yasha couldn't believe his brother! 'First he tried to kill MY Kagome.. and now he wants to court her?' It by all means didn't make sense. He knew he loved her. He was afraid of being rejected. Her courage and her compassion touched his heart. Inu Yasha couldn't give her up to that demon from hell. He didn't deserve her! 'As if I do, the way I've treated her.' He should never had said what he had when she told him she was dying. 'I should have told her how I really feel.' But now he couldn't. She might choose his brother and he couldn't take that. Sesshoumaru talked to her so much, and she smiled when she was with him. He wanted her to be happy, but he wanted her to be happy with him.and only him.
*********************
They neared the forest Inu Yasha had been in only yesterday. And still the stench of blood and death increased. The half demon almost had to hold his nose to keep from passing out from the intoxicating smell. Kagome stared up at the trees as they turned from green to red. She could smell the blood that was obviously disturbing the demons with her. Life had left these woods. The trees seemed to be painted with the blood of innocent souls. Long shadows were cast upon the travelers as they walked in silence. The sun was no longer shining on them, and smiles and laughs didn't touch their faces. No one spoke, they were struck with awe of these ruby woods. They were finally going to find their enemy.
Inu Yasha and his brother lead the group. Both were determined to protect the one they loved. She staggered behind them, watching for movement in the forest. They followed the winding black road. All was silent. No wolves howled at the full moon. No birds twittered sweet words to their young. The sun had turned the sky crimson, turning this world into a bloody nightmare.
It had gotten late into the night, and Sango and Miroku (not to mention Shippo) had gotten tired and needed to rest. Inu Yasha attempted in forcing the exhausted group forward, but it was no use. As they called it a night, Sesshoumaru immediately walked to Kagome, who was darting her eyes from tree to tree. His brother, with a look of fury that Kagome had never seen before, swiftly turned on his heels and walked off further into the forest.
The hour must had of been past midnight, and Inu Yasha still had not come back. Kagome had been conversing with his brother for hours, but she could not keep her mind off the half-demon. She was worried sick. As soon as the flirtatious older brother fell into dreams, or nightmares, the girl began walking out of the camp. She treaded softly, not making a sound. A loud thud and crash stopped her in her tracks. She whipped her head around and sighed to find it was only Sango crashing a pan on Miroku's head. 'Well, some things never change.' And she headed off into the night.
