Chapter 2: Running
His eyelids were drooping as his vision blurred. The rain was coming down harder now. Still, he trudged on. His feet sinking down into the wet mud as he struggled to walk on. Fool, he thought, you idiot. Back there you had everything but now you have nothing. He didn't know why but he smiled bitterly and whispered; "Now you're going to die." He thought about his life, how he was going to miss it so! That's a load of Bull-! A cold voice laughed in his head, you never did like your life! He smirked, Keh, I gotta agree with you this time. H, that doesn't matter now! He was going to die and he knew it. He stopped dead in his tracks, tilted his face up and closed his eyes; he allowed the rain to pelt his face. As he stood there, his thoughts turned to his mother and his eyes snapped open. He clenched his fists and a low growl escaped his lips. I hate her! She gave me this h-hole of a life! Then a picture of his mother flashed through his mind. She was beautiful. Her hair was midnight black which reached to past her waist. This time, she wore her straight hair down. Her skin was a flawless ivory. Her eyes which were usually filled with kindness, was now brimmed with tears as she stared down at him, her arms outstretched. His golden orbs softened and he slowly closed his eyes again to feel the warmth of his mother's hug. But then reality hit him and he shook his head fiercely, trying to rid his head of the image.
Still he trudged on, losing all track of time and it seemed like an eternity. Walking, walking and still walking. No more energy left to run, or yell. On and on, the road seemed to wind on forever. His golden orbs clouded over as he fell. The world speeding before him. Thump. He hit the ground, his face buried deep within the mud. Drip, drip, drip…Pitter, patter, patter…
He is the one with no place, the one who stands alone, doomed to be alone, forever. He is the one who knows no identity, the forgotten one.
Flashback (this is a flashback like one in an episode in Inu Yasha, if you want to skip it, go ahead)
Half-breed…half-breed…the word sounds through his ears. Fluffy white ears. He hears them saying such things; he knows not what the word means.
Chasing after his ball. Bouncing off the ground, forever out of his reach. He runs, crossing a bridge. People, humans, they grab his ball. "Can you please give me back my ball?" he asked shyly.
They laugh, "Half-breed, you and your whore mother stay away from us!" They throw the ball, away from him, far away.
Panting, running. Lone figure stands before him, arms outstretched. Eyes covered by darkness. He runs into her arms, Mother…She hugs him tight. Flowers, it is all he smells.
Salt…water…he smells it. Drip…Drip… wetness falls on his ears, fluffy white ears. He looks up, "Mother?" his voice is sweet, "What's a half breed?" Weeping, she is weeping. He does not know what he had done, he merely stands. Staring at his mother with golden orbs.

Flashback
Running, running, it is all he can remember. He has been running all his life, away, far away. Staring, screaming, hitting; he is used to it, all of it.
Growing ever taller, stronger and stronger. He is now grown; he knows now what was unknown to him before. Women hide their children in fear when he comes too near, men scowl at him behind his back, people whisper, always whispering and talking. Suspicious eyes lurking within the darkness, ears everywhere. They think he can't hear all they were saying, they were wrong. He had been both blessed and cursed with these ears, the ears which can hear all. Twitch…
Golden orbs dart towards the fat lady carrying the heavy basket full of vegetables. She is panting, and he walks over. Towering over her, the fat women cower in fear, begging him to not take her life. Swish…his claws cut through the air, everything became still. The women was lucky, oh so lucky. He smirks and leaves. The woman was still breathing, barely, with a deep cut on her stomach. Blood streaming out, red everywhere, drowning her body. The color has become so familiar to him, red. His hands were forever stained red. Humans move out of his way, scrambling towards the safety of their huts.
Golden orbs searching, looking. His hair silver, as pure as the moon blew in the wind, giving him an angelic look. Innocent. But the villagers knew better, they look with disgust at him.
A little girl walks on the streets, her black hair flowing behind her, so pure. A smile on her face, a bounce to her step, so pure. Golden eyes narrow, low growl heard. He makes his way to her, moving slowly, giving her the time to savor the few moments she has left. He looks down upon her as she stares up at him with huge brown eyes.
She asks, "Do you know where my mommy is?" eyes pleading for an answer, smiling, forever smiling.
He speaks, his voice rough, he has not used it in a long time. "No kid, but don't worry, you wont need to find her where you'll be going,"
"Where's that?" she asks, awed, still staring with brown eyes. So pure.
Raises his claws, slashes through the air. Red splashes everywhere, no scream was heard. Thump…brown eyes blank. Red everywhere.
End of Flashback
I know that the second flashback was kind of "bloody" or at least that's what my friend said. It seems more like what Sesshoumaru would do rather than Inu Yasha, I think that too. But don't worry; I'm going to make it seem more like Inu Yasha's character later on in this fanfic!
My chapters aren't very long are they?
