Tears of Blood



"Kagome, how..how are you still....alive?" asked Kouga. "Not that I'm not glad or

anything. I'm just surprised. I thought you had died....when that fox died."

"Y-Youko." sniffed Kagome. "He died for me. I don't want to talk about it right now, I

promise to tell you another time."

"Sure." replied Kouga. "Anything for my woman." Kagome gave him a small smile that

didn't reach her eyes. "I'm just glad that stupid fox actually did something correct for once."

"Youko is not stupid!" growled Kagome, startling Kouga. "I'm gonna go to bed. See you

tomorrow." informed Kagome, walking past Kouga without a backward glance.

"Wait, what house are you in?" asked Kouga with a hopeful look.

"Slytherin." replied Kagome, not faltering in her steps.

"S-Slytherin? Someone as kind as my woman in Slytherin? That hat is CRAZY!" yelled

Kouga.

"It was my choice." Kagome replied just above a whisper. "And Youko and I payed the

consequences."

Kouga drew a blank look before hollering out, "If you need me, my woman, I will be in

the Ravenclaw common room!" Whether Kagome heard him or not would forever remain a

mystery.

~Next morning~

Harry and Ron entered the Great Hall engaged in a conversation about Quidditch with

Hermione tagging along behind them holding her latest book stuck in her nose. Kurama walked

in lost in his own thought and didn't catch Katie's call for him. Inuyasha stomped into Great Hall

with frizzled hair and clenched fists. "I swear, if I ever see Kikyou again I'm going to pound her!"

Inuyasha stopped his ranting at the snickering of Draco. It appeared he was telling a joke to the

other Slytherins.

"Watch out for the dementors!" cooed the Slytherins. "There out to get you! Better watch

yourself Potter!"

"Don't listen to them." whispered Hermione, tugging at Harry's robe to stop his from

doing something rash.

"Don't copy that baka." snorted Hiei, inclining his head slightly towards Inuyasha.

"You wanna repeat that?" asked Inuyasha, glaring at Hiei. "I'm gonna take you out!"

"Well, don't proclaim that to the whole world." a voice stated from behind Inuyasha.

"You can date Hiei another time, but not so early in morning, please? I might lose my

appetite."

"W-w-w-wha?" stuttered Inuyasha, backing away from Hiei. "Me and him?"

"Draco, put a sock in it. You don't have to pick on Harry everyday." Kagome yawned

behind her hand.

"K-Kagome!" stuttered Draco. "Nice to see you back."

"As am I." replied Kagome dryly, plopping down next to him. "Pass me the orange

juice." Draco grabbed the jar of orange juice and handed it to Kagome.

"Yo!" called Inuyasha. "You promised me and Kurama a talk?"

"Oh, yes, that's what I was forgetting." replied Kagome, rubbing her temple. "A talk."

Kurama pried Katie's arm from him and quickly walked to the Slytherin table, with Katie in tow.

"Sit everyone, I'll talk to all of you so I won't have to repeat myself."

"What's that strange, enticing energy from?" demanded Hiei, leveling his red eyes to

Kagome's blue ones. This was followed by a nod from Sesshoumaru and questioning eyes from

Kurama, who had also felt the energy.

"It's none of your business." replied Kagome, successfully cutting off the conversation.

"Where have you been?" demanded Inuyasha.

Kagome quirked an eyebrow. "A place where I wished I could have remained for the rest

of my life." Kagome replied, taking a sip of her juice.

"Why were you crying when you came back?" asked Kurama gently, while Katie

wrapped her arms around his neck. Kurama tried to pry her off to no avail.

Kagome's eyes watered slightly. "Someone very dear left me, never to return." Kurama

stopped his struggles with Katie and looked at Kagome.

"Someone dear?" murmured Kurama, slightly hurt at that revelation. "W-who?"

"I believe that is my privacy." Kagome replied, turning her gaze from Kurama.

"A-are you still angry with me?" asked Kurama.

"No." replied Kagome, a tear slipping from her eye. "I have no right to be angry at you

for your actions when I, myself made the exact same ones." This caught them off guard and

listened for an explanation. But it was not given, as Kagome munched on her turkey sandwich.

"Then we're forgiven?" asked Harry with a hopeful look.

"Yes." replied Kagome, looking at Harry. "He forgave me, so I don't see why I can't

forgive you."

"Thank you." cried Sango from behind Kagome, wrapping her arms around Kagome.

Kagome smiled, but made no move to return the hug. Katie gave them all confused looks along

with the rest of the school. They simply couldn't understand why they were asking Kagome for

forgiveness.

The Great Hall became silent when tears began to drop from Kagome's eyes. Tears drops

after tear drops. Kurama was startled and moved to comfort Kagome, but was once again

hindered by Katie. Even Sesshoumaru and Hiei donned a slightly worried face when the tears

where no longer transparent...but blood red.

Kagome caught their gazes and touched the red substance and laughed. A laugh that held no

cheerfulness or happiness. Kurama angrily shoved Katie away, startling the whole school, who

had known Kurama to be kind and gentle. Inuyasha evacuated his seat so Kurama could take it.

Kurama pulled Kagome towards him and tried to give her the comfort she needed. But was it the

comfort she sought?

"Tears of blood." murmured Sesshoumaru.

"Damn it, what's going on!?!" yelled Inuyasha, slamming his fist onto the table, chasing

away the silence.

"Blood tears," began Sesshoumaru, as everyone listened eagerly, "can only be seen when

one has cried so much there is no tears left to cry but blood. From the looks of it, the wench

must have cried for many days straight."

"It could be fatal to her health." added Hiei, putting on a clam facade. Kurama brushed

his thumb over Kagome's face, wiping the blood away.

"Please, stop crying." pleaded Kurama.

"Kagome, if this person who you said left you," stated Sango, "is the cause of your tears,

I'll bring him back."

"I'll drag his ass back no matter what!" added Inuyasha.

"I doubt you could." replied Kagome.

"Baka." snorted Hiei, glaring at Sango. "She meant that person is dead."

"Oh." The silence dragged on after that, not one dared to shatter the peace. Well, except

one.

"Oi! What did you do to my woman?!?" yelled Kouga, glaring at Kurama. "Let go of

her!"

"She isn't yours." growled Kurama, eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. The look

Kurama was giving Kouga caused murmur to begin in the Great Hall.

"Of course she is mine!" yelled Kouga, clenching his fist.

"That's enough!" cut in Kagome, wiping away the dried blood. "Kouga, we can talk later,

but I don't want to miss class."

"O-Of course." replied Kouga.

"What class do you have?" whispered Kurama. Kagome gave him a small smile that

didn't reach her eyes.

"Divination." replied Kagome, squeezing Kurama's hands lightly. "Thanks for trying to

comfort me."

"Hn." snorted Hiei.

"Hiei has divination along with me, Inuyasha, Harry, Ron, and Hermione." translated

Kurama.

"Isn't divination popular?" asked Kagome. "Let's go then, or we'll be late."

"Wait." called out Kurama, pulling Kagome onto his lap. Kurama gently wiped the

remaining blood crust away with his thumb. "The teacher's going to think we abused you on the

way there."

"Hm." murmured Kagome, locking eyes with a furious Katie. "You don't happen to have

divination too, do you?"

"As a matter of fact, I do." replied Katie haughtily.

"Yea." snorted Inuyasha. "Along with Kikyou and some of her new friends. Her new best

friend happens to be the crazy Yura, who has a crazy obsession with hair.."

"I can tell." muttered Kagome, raising an eyebrow at Inuyasha's appearance.

"WHAT BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" squealed a loud voice from the entrance, running full

speed toward Kurama. She quickly stopped short when she noticed Kagome and a smirk found a

way onto her face. "You have the Shikon, little girl."

the Shadow:

* Why doesn't Kagome know that Kurama is Youko or a demon?

- Kagome knows that Kurama is a demon, she just doesn't know Youko is him. She got a

glimpse of Youko during her first year with the mirror, but she forgot. That's also why she knew

Youko's name the first time they met. She just didn't link things together. ^_^
