*Okay real quickly I have to say that yes this chapter is short so sorry, also I don't own anyone in this chapter but Atria. ^-^ thanks for reading*
Part 10 Eternal Sadness.
Sesshomaru was surprised when he head the noise escape her hands. He looked at her. She wasn't moving.
"Crying is unacceptable in front of the Great Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken Screeched
Atria raised her head and glared dangerously at him. She jumped to her feet and picked up her bow. She swung it at Jaken and knocked him back into the bushes. Sesshomaru looked at her face. Her eyes were slightly red and they looked tired. Her cheeks were a little wet. She saw him looking at her and she ran.
She was mad at herself. She had never cried before. She wasn't weak and helpless. She was part demon and she shouldn't be crying.
'How can you cry. It's a sign of weakness'
She heard the voice and tried to block it out to no avail.
'You are weak'
She ran blindly not caring where she went so long as she was alone.
Sesshomaru caught her in his arms. He held her tightly. She tried to push him away, but he held her too tight. She finally stopped struggling. She buried her face in his chest. She never made another sound but he knew she was crying. When she had cried herself out he squeezed her a little then released her. She looked up at him then looked away ashamed.
"No," he said, "If anyone should be ashamed it is I for not protecting you when you were younger."
"Thank you," she whispered
She stepped away from him. She waited till he headed back. Then she followed him back to the tree full of arrows. She picked up her bow and retrieved her arrows. She had to admit she did feel a little better. They walked back to the village quietly. At one point she started to say something but she stopped before she did.
When they were walking back Atria was going to tell Sesshomaru about her father, but the persistent voice warned her against it.
'You know everything that Naraku knows about these people' the voice said
'So' she questioned it
'If you tell them who you really are you'll be giving Naraku more ways to hurt them' it said
'But...oh no wait' she thought frantically
Atria's eyes widened. She felt like the biggest idiot in the world. She had already told Sango.
'Damn it all to hell what if he finds out' she thought.
She started to run back. Sesshomaru continued to walked. She burst into Kaede's hut and searched it for Sango. She beckoned Sango outside. Kagome followed Sango out.
"You must tell no one what I told you," Atria said desperately.
Sango raised her eyebrows and frowned.
"Sorry I already told kagome," Sango said
:Is it true," Kagome asked, finally catching what they were talking about.
"It doesn't matter. Don't tell anyone at all. not even Kaede. And don't trust anyone with it at all not even each other okay," Atria said
"okay we promise.," Sango said
Atria relaxed a little but and her face lost it's frantic look.
"Why is it so important," Kagome asked
"If Naraku ever finds out..," Atria said
"If Naraku ever finds out what?" Inuyasha asked from behind her
Atria slowly turned to face him.
"nothing important," She said
"If it involves Naraku it's important," Inuyasha said
"Fine," Atria grumble, "I was talking about the Jewel shards." she lied
Inuyasha looked at her very closely.
"Your lying," He said
"Feh," She said annoyed
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he looked surprised. Atria turned away quickly cursing under her breath.
"Inuyasha I need to go," She said.
"No, stay. He's still probably after you," he said
She started to walk away.
"Please," he said so quietly Atria had trouble hearing it.
She turned and saw the sadness in his eyes.
"I've changed my mind I'll stay awhile longer," She said
'Yeah till Naraku finds out who I really am,' She thought.
* did say this was a short one. Kinda sad o if you think about it. Anyway the next one is longer I promise*
