Tainted Innocence


Kagome's house

XxXxXx-

Kagome stood outside, leaning against the door that led into her warm, welcoming home. Her petite small hand grasped at an umbrella's end in an attempt to not get wet from the pouring rain.

A gust of wind bellowed over her sending her raven hair swirling in the wind; the smell of must flooding into her senses.

'Ugh…Inuyasha hurry up!'

She sighed inwardly as she desperately grasped the umbrella's end, her pink knuckles turning white. The wind died down as she stood peacefully, pushing herself off of her door. Blinking her violet eyes, she settled her soft gaze on the puddles scattered about the shrine.

She watched in silent fascination as the water calmly lapped against the sidewalk. Grey clouds hung gloomily across the sky, forbidding any rays of sun-light to peek through and beckon liveliness.

Shaking her head slightly, she cocked her head upwards; watching the enticing rain swirl its way down to the Earth.

Such a depressing thing…seemed so very beautiful. She blushed slightly as one word came to the tip of her tongue.

"Inuyasha…"

"What?" A smooth voice suddenly called out from behind her. She turned her body around as she saw Inuyasha standing in the door way. Her blush became more noticeable as he cocked his head to the side, his silver hair following the movement; his golden eyes sparkling in the dull light.

'His past……he was so lonely. But……now he doesn't have to be. At least, until he doesn't want to.'

"Are we going or not, wench?" She swallowed the lump in her throat as she nodded her head, shaking her thoughts aside.

"Uhh, sure!" She smiled as she eyed his ever so familiar black baseball hat.

"Feh."

Smiling, Kagome took his hand and ran down the Higurashi Shrine's stairs, her breath puffing out in small white orbs that quickly dissipated before her eyes. The pitter patter of the rain that hit their umbrella sang a mellow song. Luminous golden eyes quickly peeked down at the petite hand that was grasped in his hand. He stopped abruptly, causing Kagome to quickly turn around and cock an eyebrow at him.

"Something the matter, Inuyasha?"

"Keh. As if you care." A slight blush dusted his ivory cheeks as he tightened his grip on the small girl's hand and shifted his gaze across the vacant streets. "Where the hell are we going?"

A small smile tugged at Kagome's lips as her violet eyes danced in the dull light.

"You'll see…"

-XxXxXx-

'No.'

Shuddering, she tentatively brought her hand to touch the soft skin of her lover's face. It was so cold. As she gazed down into the dark depths of his once lively eyes, her sparkling tears falling freely, she realized that the old warmth that it had possessed had disappeared, and it now only held the same loneliness as before. The life that it had once had was gone. The life that it led to was gone.

She shook her head; not wanting to believe what lay in front of her, and lifted her trembling body onto the old jagged rocks. The pain from her bloody knees did not even register, although their current condition was to blame from committing the same action that she was about to take again. Clenching her eyes shut, she jumped into the cold river again. Dark shadows casting over her.

'Sirokama…' She whimpered as her mind was buzzing frequently with these preposterous images…this couldn't possibly be true.

"Sirokama! Wait……my love." She yelled out as the quiet breeze lifted her fragile voice and carried it away with it. The dark clouds that loomed across the sky and the soft whisper of the wind that bellowed over the grass, it carried it all away. Her sorrow, her meaning of life, and now…it seemed it carried her love of her life all away.

Oboroko crossed the cold ocean, icy needles prickling against her bloody knees. Her whole body was numb……her mind shut down. Everything had gone wrong. And it seemed it was just getting worse.

-XxXxX-

A slender figure glided on the outskirts of the village. A clear imagine that arose from the Earth, coming into the view with the purple sun. Curious on-lookers merely glanced at the beautiful intruder, some lingering their hard gaze on the enticing femininity of the young woman.

She smiled to herself as she cast her hazy gaze amongst the men who were still ogling her with their hard eyes. Wetting her lips, she scanned the bland area. Finally, her blue orbs met their desired destination.

'Could it be? Yes…indeed. It must be them.' The woman's smile grew as her face twisted in the light.

"And must you be?" Sango called out to the woman.

A seductive smile crossed her features as she wet her lips absentmindedly. Her blue orbs glided over the monk dressed in purple robs; she decided to leave her gaze there.

"Me? Why must I waste my precious time on introducing myself?" Her voice slurred together in an elegant tone, a hint of humor sparkled in her eyes.

"Please, just embrace us with the moment." Sango snapped back, her pertinence was running low with the woman. 'How long can this woman play games with me? This is getting ridiculous.' Sango sighed and cocked her head to the side, annoyance clearly evident amongst her features.

"I am known as Oboroko." She flicked her head to the side as she rid her face of her bangs, her eyes glittering in the light that shone into them.

"Oboroko, you say? What a lovely name." She glanced over at the monk, raising her eyebrows slightly. Somewhat amused with his failed attempts to flatter her. 'The young monk isn't half-bad…perhaps I should have plans later for him. He will forget all about his little bitch once he comes away with me.' She snickered to herself. Self consciously she wet her lips and continued to study the young man.

"Yes, I am Oboroko. Oboroko Higura-

-XxXxXx-


A/N:

Bwahahahaha!

Hmm…hmm indeed my little Oboroko.

Hmm indeed.


Yet another dreaded A/N:

I know, I know, it was a very short chapter. And I apologize. I just didn't want to introduce so many things that would leave my ooh so beloved readers, especially my reviewers, in pure shock and in the state of being overwhelmed! Now would I? I think every thing is basically self explanatory. Or is it? Perhaps in my evil little mind I am going to have you all think one thing, but really….it is the complete utter opposite!

Bwahahahaha!

Hmm, any who, Tell me what you think! Please! Review! I have to continuously remind myself that I have to take things slowly…ugh. I have so many great wonderful ideas! I don't know when or where to start. But it shall be soon. Same with longer and faster chapters. I promise! Horrah!


This little spot is just for you! My special special reviewers!

You guys make me so happy, I can't even put down in words…you guys motivate me and keep my lazy ass self reminded that I actually have people who read my stories! I love you all! So, in my consideration. I am going to dedicate a one-shot just for you! I'll take ideas, I need some. I already have my Inuyasha one-shot. Just on his feelings on Kagome. Rather short…well, really short. But don't worry! I owe you guys the world! So, on we go!

P.S. please check out my first one-shot. The others seemed to like it, it make me feel all fuzzy inside!
