Something Beautiful

Chapter 2: Nobody

I am nobody…

Who are you?

Are you nobody too?

Her eyes were blank as they fell on a singled out gravestone. Here she was again. After so long, she still couldn't move on. Pathetic isn't it? Very much so. The roses tumbled to the ground from her limp hand. Seven red streaks traced a path the thorns had made. Crimson drops collected on the fingers, shattering in the wet earth as they connected. A single tear followed the same path, blending with the raindrops.

From a distance a lone figure made their way up the hill, to that same gravestone. Black umbrella deflected the rain, leaving him the only dry object in the area. The black trench coat and silver hair contrasted in a way that made the figure look almost immortal.

Kagome stood still. The rain has already soaked her clothes and hair. More tears flowing down the red cheeks. Her eyes traced the length of the grave, stilling only on the inscription.

R.I.P.

InuYasha Taisho

1970-2005

Forever with you…Kikyou

She fell to her knees, sobbing. A broken whisper slipping past her lips. "How could you InuYasha? How could you…"He never even noticed how much she loved him. She was nothing, no one. Just that girl who's always there. Just that nobody.

I am nobody…

Did he even see her? Ever? She isn't invisible, how could he not notice? More sobs followed that statement. She never noticed anyone approaching. She never saw the pure white roses join her red ones. She never saw the immortal image of an angel stand and watch her. She just cried. She cried till she couldn't anymore. Only then did she notice the majestic shadow behind her.

Who are you?

He said nothing. Not a word slipping past his lips as he studied the broken woman in front of him. Nothing crossed his emotionless face as she stared up at him with a tearstained face and swollen lips.

She looked at the man before her. He looked beautiful. Cold and beautiful. He said nothing to her, just stared. Why was he here? Does he know InuYasha? Did he know her? Who was he?

Are you nobody too…

Wordlessly he stretched out his hand. She stared at it. Hesitantly she placed her much smaller hand in his. He pulled her up on her feet. She swayed a little, the circulation getting back to work. As far as she knew, he was still staring at her. She removed her hand from his grasp. Her eyes looked up at him.

Stormy blue eyes looked at him curiously. How is it that he has never met this woman if she knows InuYasha well enough to weep for him? He never mentioned anyone other then Kikyou. May be she's a friend? Well this certainly isn't the place to find out. She was wet and shivering. She'll be sick in a few hours. He looked at her clothes. Her dark pants now had mud stains from where she fell and her right hand was bleeding for some reason. Her white blouse was already see-through and sticking to her cold body. She can't go out in public like this.

"Come." She was startled by the commanding tone in his voice. Too cold and curious to think straight she obediently followed. They walked through the empty graveyard. The darkened sky giving it a bit of a horror-movie edge. They walked to the border of the cemetery where a silver Mercedes was parked. She studied the car before quietly getting in. they drove quietly for a while, neither saying a word. The car slowed to a stop in front of a huge building. He parked the car and waited for her to get out. She did so cautiously, looking around like a lost child.

She looked at him as he locked the car doors and put on the alarm. Only what she had done started to sink into her slowly operating brain. She just got in a car with some guy she didn't know. He drove her to hell knows where. And she didn't even say anything about it. She wanted to scream, run, kick him, but all she managed was a quiet whisper.

"Where did you take me?" her voice was so soft, he barely even heard it. He looked down at the small woman beside him. She didn't seem as cold anymore, now she just looked scared. He finally remembered her. She was at his house before, when InuYasha had brought all his friends over. How could he have forgotten? She was his entertainment for the whole evening. All the other people were practically tearing the whole house down, never having been in a place such as this. She acted exactly as she had now. Kagome, that was her name. The last time she looked too scare to touch anything, never mind run around. She spend the whole evening pretending to be invisible and standing out of everyone's way. He never got the chance to talk to her, she left right after Kikyou has given the birthday speech for InuYasha's birthday. She also gave him a birthday kiss, if you can call it that; it looked more like a make out session. For some reason he didn't grab back then she seemed to be showing off. Then when he noticed Kagome, she looked like her best friend had just stabbed her. She quietly excised her self and left. Only then did he realize something. She loved InuYasha. And he loved Kikyou, who loved his money. So it seemed to work for 2 out of 3. He wanted to talk to her back then, but never got to, now was his second chance.

"My place." He answered her, realizing that this only scared her more, he added. "I'm Sesshoumaru." She looked confused for a moment then something seemed to click.

"You're InuYasha's older brother…" at his nod, her eyes rounded then a tear slipped out. Shutting her eyes tightly she did something he never expected. She flung herself in his arms and sobbed. He looked down, shocked at the shacking girl in his arms and after the shock wore off, brought one hand around her waist, the other slowly pulling his fingers through her hair in a comforting motion. His voice was surprisingly soft as he whispered to her.

"It's ok Kagome, just please don't cry…" the sobbing girl quieted down after a few minutes, bringing the tear streaked face into his view. She gave him a small watery smile before her eyes fluttered closed and she did something she's never done before.

She fainted.

Do not cry for him, for he will not cry for you.

Do not bleed for him, for he will not bleed for you.

Do not die for him, for he has already died, so long ago.

He died for love, for her, for Kikyou…
