Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Inuyasha, and if I did, I'd
probably pee myself. So anyway, on with the story.

Tears and Blood
Chapter Eight: No One Can Hide Forever
By: Moonlight Jade
- - - - -
When Kagome woke up she felt a warmth beside her. It was too big to be Kilala or
Shippo but too small to be any of the others. In curiosity, she opened her eyes but closed them
back quickly because the bright light made her head hurt. She attempted to open them again but
went slower than before in order to allow her eyes to adjust to the light.
When she succeeded at this, she turned to see Souta curled up beside her. She
remembered how Souta had gotten there but how had she made her way back to feudal Japan?
Then it hit her... Inuyasha had come to save her. Souta had successfully managed to get to
Inuyasha, and Inuyasha had come to her rescue.
Kagome tried to sit up but was abruptly stopped by a pain in her ribs. She mentally cursed
as she bit down on her bottom lip. Souta stirred from his sleep with a small boyish snort and as
he realized something was wrong, his face took on a look of concern.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Souta asked as he gazed into her chocolate colored eyes, "Did
he hurt you again?" Kagome didn't answer, she turned her face away from him. Souta didn't
deserve having to go through with this. Unexpectedly, tears ran down her face. She pulled her
brother down to her, drawing him into her embrace. She ignored the painful sensation shooting
through her body as she hugged him.
She wiped her tears onto her sleeve before letting go of him. It didn't seem to matter that
all of her friends were watching her as she leaned against her pillow in a sleeping position and
closed her eyes.
"Go home, Souta," surprising the others even though she spoke an almost inaudibly,
"Mon will be worried..." She then let herself fall into a deep slumber.

after waking up for the first time since she had been injured, Kagome came in and out of
consciousness a lot. She never stayed awake long and slept most of the day away. The others
didn't realized that she was forcing herself to sleep in order to avoid facing the inevitable. She
didn't know how long she had been sleeping, only that she welcomed the darkness. A blanket to
reality, blocking out bad memories and pain. In this darkness, her life could be whatever she
wanted it to be. She could keep herself from hurting by being alone.
Rare and beautiful birds flew threw the sky of Kagome's made-up reality. She lay in a
beautiful flowery clearing taking in the sweet and heavenly scent released fro their soft petals.
Suddenly the smell changed to that of something rancid being burned. The lush and beautiful
vegetation and creatures melted away and changed into a burning village. The flames had caused
some of the homes to collapse. Some had fallen under a sort of domino affect, one right after the
next. Bodies littered the ground, mostly of women and their children.
She heard a child crying from inside one of the buildings that had not yet collapsed from
the flames. Kagome ran forward into the burning hut and saw a small figure crouching, wrapped
in a tattered blanket. The child moved farther and farther away from her as she walked nearer to
it.
"Let me help you," Kagome called out desperately. The blanket fell from the cornered
figure and Kagome stifled a scream as she saw what lay beneath. It was indeed a child but she
was covered almost completely in blood. Gashes covered her frail form and at some points the
bone was visible under the torn muscle. The look in her eyes was of pity and sorrow.
Kagome suddenly realized that all of the bodies had raised from the ground and had
surrounded her inside the hut.
"No one can hide forever," they all said, voices sounding like fingernails raking across a
chalkboard.

So what did you think? Someone left my comp on so I didn't have to worry about someone putting the password in to unlock it (very stupid if I do say so myself) Well, as always, review
