New Beginnings
a snatch of red
a flash of white
a rustle of wind and a
blur
I knew that things
would go wrong. You see, nothing really happens like it does in a fairy tale. I
had just hoped that he could at least love me back, but I was wrong.
I thought we were friends.
It turned out that was a lie as well. He was just using me, I was just a pawn
in his scheme to get what he wanted. Well I hope he's happy. Because now I
think I'll have to kill him.

Twigs and branches flew at
her like a whip as she ran through the forest. Tears stung her eyes and she let
out a sob as trees blurred by. I turn my back for a second and this is how
he repays me?! Kagome fled through the wood. She was running from someone
she never thought she would have to fear. Inuyasha.
A flash of red appeared in
front of her, and Kagome skidded to a halt with a cry of surprise. Inuyasha
stood there. His claws flexed and ready to shred. The fearsome glare of blue
and red, and the missing prayer beads. With a predatory smirk, Inuyasha pounced
on Kagome.
"Inuyasha!
Stop!" Kagome cried. As he prepared to strike her, Kagome wondered how
this came to be. The person who had sworn to protect her was getting ready to
kill her.
~*~
I thought I could trust
him. But the moment I turned my back, he took the completed Shikon no Tama that
we worked so hard for. That our friends had died for. The damn jewel that I
lost my little Shippo for. Because of that jewel, our happy group of seven was
once again only two. Well, three if you include her. Yes Kikyou.. she
refused to go in peace and continues to haunt me. Forever casting a shadow over
me.
I had been preparing to
give Kikyou the Shikon no Tama and return through the well for good. As an 18
year old, I had seen too much death and had lost too many close friends. My
personality changed. I became withdrawn and emotionless. I think that's why
Inuyasha couldn't love me.
I think he took it from me
when I was gathering up my pack. He must have decided to wait until I took the
prayer beads from his neck. I have never done anything so stupid as that. I
realize now that it made no difference if the bead were there, I was the only
one who could use them. So if I was gone, he would have nothing to worry about.
He took the Shikon no Tama.
But before I could do anything about it, it was over. My ticket home was gone
and Inuyasha was a full demon. And he was out for blood. My blood.
~*~
Inuyasha smirked down at
the crying girl. "Foolish... you should have known that I would come after
you if you ran... stupid girl, you have just made this more painful for
yourself." Inuyasha ran a sharpened claw down Kagome's face, leaving a
thin trail of blood behind. Kagome looked up at him through stormy blue eyes
full of sorrow.
"Forgive me
Inuyasha...." She placed her hands on Inuyasha's chest and closed her
eyes. "I always did love you." Just as Inuyasha was about to strike,
a bright blue tinted light flashed through the forest, purifying everything
within a mile radius of the girl.
When the light faded,
Kagome opened her eyes to see the open sky. There was no trace of Inuyasha. The
girl got to her feet, brushed off her hands on her jeans, and started running
again.
A scrap of red material
fluttered to the ground.
~*~
I can't believe I did
it. The one person that I truely loved is gone, most likely purified into
pieces. By me. I can't take it anymore. Kaede is gone. I'm sure Inuyasha
destroyed the village, I could hear the screams. Kikyou is gone. I felt the
return of the rest of my soul as I fled.
There is no one left for
me. All of those whom I loved and would have remained in the past for are gone.
Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Kaede and... Inuyasha. One by my own hands. But I can't
go home. I am stuck here. So I am running... to where, I don't know... but
maybe, just maybe... I'll find a purpose to continue living.
~*~
A tall, imposing figure
stood over a fragile looking limp body that was lying half in a small stream.
His long silver hair flowed in the breeze. This was Sesshomaru, lord of the
Western Lands and Inuyasha's older half-brother. A small girl peeked behind his
legs. The girl had a half ponytail positioned messily on her head.
"Sesshomaru-sama! It's Kagome-neechan!"
Sesshomaru said nothing,
but took in the ragged appearance of the human woman. She looked as if she had
been to hell and back. Her clothes were ripped in places, not to mention
indecently tight as well. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he picked up the scent
of his brother all over her. It was the scent of a full demon. There was also
the lingering scent of magic. Sesshomaru picked up Kagome in his remaining arm
and slung her over his shoulder.
"Come Rin. Let's
return to the castle." Sesshomaru turned and began to walk back to him
home. Rin grinned her gap toothed smile and followed faithfully.
I have many questions
for this woman... she had best be able to answer them...
~*~
that's all for now folks!!
this is a spur of the moment thing... so forgive any confusion! And don't hurt
me for making pretty much everyone dead...
Next time: Kagome wakes up
in Sesshomaru's home and the two find out that they have more in common than
they originally thought.
