Concrete Rose

Chapter 1 Its Blank Eyes

"Kagome hurry up!" Inuyasha call at the top of the mountain to Kagome, who was at the bottom. "Hurry up or the sun will set and you'll have to go home."

Kagome, who was having difficulty finding a foothold at the bottom, threw the gloating hanyou a dirty look. "In case you didn't notice, I'm not a hanyou." She hadn't counted on this problem, Hadn't she watched Inuyasha jump from rock to rock up the mountain gracefully? Oh yeah, he was a hanyou and she wasn't. But she smiled at the impatient Inuyasha.

"I know something that you could do to speed the climb up the mountain…" Inuyasha knew exactly what was coming "…You could…" wait for it… " Carry me up. Please!" There it is. The you-can't-say-no-to-this-face look. It was enough to make him laugh. "Come on, Inu, you can't say no to this face…"

"Yeah, I can. No. But since this is your birthday… it's an exception." Inuyasha jump down to Kagome, who climbed on to Inuyasha's back. With all swift movements, he jumped from rock to rock until, in a matter of minutes, he was at the top of the mountain.

"Ok, Kagome, we're here, close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." Kagome did what she was told. She closed her eyes eagerly. "Now Kagome, open your eyes."

Kagome opened her eyes. She saw a wonderful sight. The sun was setting, and it created beautiful oranges and reds. It was breathtaking. But that's not all. Inuyasha stood in front of bushes of roses. Her favorite flower. It was beautiful. Kagome ran to the roses and she was about to pick one when a clawed hand gently grabbed her wrist. Kagome looked up to see a concerned looking pair of amber eyes.

"Kagome, if you pick it, you will hurt yourself. Didn't you know that palace princesses have delicate skin?" he bent down and picked a white rose. Then he gave it to Kagome.

"I didn't know palace hanyous were so sweet." Kagome smiled, and accepted the rose. White. Her favorite.

"Happy birthday, Kagome." Inuyasha smiled at the look of pleasure on Kagome's face.

"This is a fantastic birthday present. White roses. They're my favorite. But that's not it. It's that we can spend time together. I hate the fact can't. Anyway, I never thought you knew these were my favorite color of rose." She added seeing Inuyasha's eyes darkening.

"I listen. Anyway I think we should really get going. I'd be very surprised if your dad hadn't sent the royal army to find you. So hop on." Inuyasha kneed down waiting for Kagome to climb on.

"I thought you didn't like me to ride your back. I thought you hated it." Kagome pointed out.

"Feh. Are you going to climb on or do you want to climb down the mountain all by yourself?"

"Ok, ok. I'll climb on." Kagome climbed on to the pissed off Hanyou. She knew he claimed that he hated it when she did that, but she knew it was a lie. So when Inuyasha started running home, she leaned forward and rubbed Inuyasha's soft, soft, ears. And then she rested her head on Inuyasha's back. Thinking about what it was like to have Inuyasha to live with… he would protect her with his life, that was certain. But that could never happen. Her parents won't allow it. His parents would think that he would be a traitor to the youkai bloodline. Always keep your youkai pride. That's what she overheard Inuyasha's dad, Inutaisho, scold to Little Inu when he played late into the night with her in the palace garden. She always wondered how Inutaisho became the commander of her father's royal army. She wasn't even allowed to play with Inuyasha. But thanks to her grandma Keade, she was able to play with him. Just for her 10th birthday.

Before she knew it, she feel asleep, dreaming about his silky white hair blowing softly in the wind. His amber pools that were her reassurance, her salvation, appearing as if he can see right through you. She smiled in her sleep at the many, many times that she secretly played with Inuyasha, against her father's wishes. She remembered the time when she was told that she could no longer play with Inuyasha and that she must spend more time at the royal shrine, taking care of the sacred tree, and learning the scared art of Midoriko's practices. But she hated it. Hated it all. Hadn't she torn at her kimono? Threw antique vases across the room, demanding her freedom back? But the born-to-spoil father had given in. He did give Kagome back her freedom. He did give back her social life. But he didn't give his daughter back her best friend. He had kept Kagome away from Inuyasha.

He had feared Youkai blood from the beginning. He had feared to mix his daughter with Inuyasha. He had even secretly feared his own sister, who had mixed herself with Inutaisho's eldest son, Sesshoumaru, and had gotten herself killed. Inutaisho offered to be commander because he felt like it was his responsibility of what his eldest son did. Keade had accepted his form of apology, thinking that Inutaisho's strength, and power would be a great addition to the army and would be a big help. Of far, she was right.

Kagome was mercilessly jolted awake.

"Inuyasha, what is it?" she asked sheepishly.

"Inuyasha." An icy cold, muscular voice broke through, waking Kagome to reality as if an ice cold bucket of water a poured on her. She felt Inuyasha stiffen. "What do think you are doing? Inuyasha, shame on you. Letting a human ride you like a common mule. Have you no youkai pride?"

The voice was calm and soft in a way. As if it was forced. It sounded worse than as if screamed at. It belonged to none other then Inutaisho himself.

"Father!" Inuyasha cried, astound. "I- I was just - just getting Kagome home, b- before sunset. Sh- she can't be out after sunset."

"Inuyasha, don't you at least think you should obey Lady Kagome's father's wishes? And leave her alone?!"

My father is at fault, yes, but it was also a part of your wish to keep Inu away from me! Kagome wanted to blurt out, but thought it was better to guard her tongue.

"Lady Kagome, you had better get home, your aunt is having her baby." Inutaisho said gently to Kagome. She gave a start. In all the excitement she had forgotten. Kagome's aunt, her father's sister, was having her third child. They had been praying that it would be a boy, for all Auntie Hiromi had were girls. Her Miko cousins, Kikyo and Katome. But she couldn't leave Inuyasha to deal with Inutaisho all by himself.

"But, Inuyasha - "

"I shall deal with Inuyasha."

"But… you see it was my birthday and Inu - "

"GO," Inutaisho's eyes flashed, even with his back to the setting sun. "I shall deal with Inuyasha… Go now."

Kagome looked at him, then at the downcast Inuyasha, then back at Inutaisho, who had lost the pleasantness that he had started with. Recognizing defeat, she sighed and turned to the direction of her Aunt's room.

When she reached Aunt Hiromi's room she heard a great deal of noise. She walked in.

And she was greeted with a great deal of noise.

"Kagome! Where were you? Happy birthday! Your Aunt Hiromi is having a baby! Maybe another girl! Or hopefully a boy! But look, Kagome! Your cousin will have the same birthday as you! Isn't that great?" Kagome couldn't stand her chatty mom any longer. She looked at the crying bundle her aunt was holding. Her Grandma Keade looked at her new grandchild. And she raised her head at the family gathered there. And she beamed happily.

"It's a…BOY!" she cried to the crowd crowed in the little room. She was immediately responded with many cheers and screams. Hiromi held up her child and also beamed happily. Kagome ran up to the child and kissed his cheek. Hiromi smiled at her niece. Kagome studied his face. His cheeks were so like Kikyo's; his lips so like his mothers. His eyes, why his eyes were sort of… different. They showed no life, they looked blank. Kagome was confused. But she pushed the thought out of her mind. That's when she noticed that no men was in the room.

Hiromi was gonna breast feed him. She gently pushed the baby boy to her breast. When it was making no move to take her breasts, she tempted him again, and again the baby didn't move to take the breast in his mouth, in fact he didn't move at all.

The pit of Kagome's stomach went cold. She looked at the baby. Hiromi was mad with fear now. She griped the baby, and shook it by the shoulders. The baby's head rolled from side to side. She screamed ' Drink the milk baby!' to him. But he didn't move and he didn't stir. Then Keade gently took the baby from Hiromi, and put a finger under his nose. Keade's eyes widened. She put her ear to the baby's chest and listened for his heartbeat. Then she put the baby down and closed her eyes.

Kagome was hit with an understanding that nearly threw her back mentally; she understood why the baby's eyes were so lifeless; why his eyes were so blank. Because it was lifeless, its soul was blank. It was like that from the beginning.

I hope you like my first chapter. I don't think that it was very good. I hope you do.

Anyway… I hate to say this but you might have to wait some time before the next chapter comes out, cause school is starting soon, and (unfortunately) I have to attend it. So if you like here are some great stories by some of the greatest writers of fanfiction (that I know and read):

The Youkai and The Exterminator by Wheezambu (This is a great story, really well written)

Spell for Kagome by (This story is the type of story where you would say: 'I wish I were Kagome')

The Killer Within by Shaid (this…well this is just a great story)

My First, My Last, My Only by OhJoy (a story in Kag's eyes. When she cries, u feel that way too)

The Beach House by OhJoy (Great writer, who u can just say: ' I feel the same way)
