A heart of frozen tears

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Resilieth and the plot.

Yay my first inufic under this name but my second total. Please be nice. I'm in a rather angsty mood so I'll make her all sad and alone and stuff. Read and review plz!

A young woman with a dark and ominous presence stood alone in the forest of death. The Forest of Death was a place where mortals could not tread. It was very far north and was a barren wasteland destroyed by the Great War and scarred by death and hatred, which remained behind after the war ended. The young woman standing amongst the century old ashes was tall, and slender with a face as pale as death and eyes of a frozen blue. Her hair was black as night. Had she smiled you might have seen gleaming fangs to match the claws, which extended hazardously from her pale hand. Those claws had been the cause of many deaths. This fearful dark beauty's name was Resilieth. Had you of seen her one year ago you would not recognize her. She was once a beautiful healthy woman who was loved by all who knew her. Her eyes were warm and clear and her smile could light a room. Her laughter was like the ringing of a thousand fairy bells. But she was this way no longer. Everything about her was now cold and dead. How did she become this way? You'll know soon enough.

Flashback

It was a warm summer day and Inuyasha and the gang were walking wistfully through a lush green forest, hunting jewel shards. Inuyasha came to a sudden stop and stood in wonder and confusion. He had caught the scent of a half-demon. But this scent seemed familiar somehow.

That scent. It smells like…but I thought she died. It can't be.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and saw a look on his face that she had never seen before. "Inuyasha? Are you alright?" Inuyasha returned from his thoughts with a jolt. "Huh? Oh um yeah I'm fine. But I smell a demon not far off. Do you sense any jewel shards?" Kagome focused for a second. "Actually there are two or three towards the east." She said pointing in the direction of the scent Inuyasha had caught earlier. The group hurried in that direction at a great pace. Kagome hopped on inuyasha's back and miroku sango and shippo rode on kirara's back. They quickly reached a clearing where a woman stood in battle stance across from a large dragon-like creature. She was bleeding badly from a large gash on her ribs but took no notice of it.
She kinda reminds me of Inuyasha in battle. Thought Kagome. The woman raised one of her hands and muttered an indistinguishable phrase. From her fingertips shot a blinding ray of bluish light that engulfed the demon. Without a sound the light ceased and the demon knelt on the ground trying to contain the blood that poured from several wounds that had been inflicted by the spell. All at one his form crumbled to a mound of ash. Inuyasha stood before this scene dumbfounded. The others stood there also. The young woman looked in their direction and smiled despite the searing pain that seemed to wrap itself around her heart. "I wasn't aware I had an audience." She said with a hint of laughter in her voice. Suddenly she gasped in pain and doubled over. The world swirled around her and fell to darkness.
When she awoke she found herself in a small hut with an elderly priestess bending over her. She jumped up instantly and looked around startled. Just then Inuyasha walked in and saw her. "So you're awake." He said gently. She looked at him closely and caught his scent. She caught her breath. "I-Inuyasha?" she asked hesitantly, as if she didn't want to believe it. He looked at her strangely and slowly walked towards her. "Resilieth?" She nodded as tears of joy streamed from her face. He embraced her and held her for a moment, then pulled away. "What happened? I heard that you were killed that day." He asked softly. She looked away sadly. "No. I survived… I was the only one."

It had been almost one hundred years ago when Inuyasha was still a child that he had met Resilieth. He was alone playing by the banks, when a group of village kids surrounded him. They were hitting him and calling him names like half-breed and mutt, when she showed up. Even as a child there was an air of authority about her. Even though she was a half-breed as well, the children didn't dare try and ridicule her as they did Inuyasha. She gave them a disgusted look. "Leave the boy alone and return to your foolish mortal games you little humans!" She said loudly. The village children ran away towards the village as the dark little girl stood looking after them looking strangely like Sesshoumaru, with her expressionless stare. Her face quickly took on a sympathetic expression as she helped him up and walked him home. Resilieth and Inuyasha had many things in common. She also had an older brother. But he was caring and kind to his sister for they had no parents and he raised her from a baby.
From that day forth they were friends. But several years later inuyasha's mother died and he fled the town and all the memories of her it held. He also left Resilieth, alone with her secret. You see Resilieth and her brother were the descendents of a great miko priestess who lost her life giving birth to the Shikon no Tama. They were the children that she left behind. But they carried her spirit within them. The Shikon no Tama was a blessing for some, but a curse for those who must bear it. But only one of them would be cursed with the full extent of its power, which they received at a certain age. Her brother had already come into his power so he knew that his delicate little sister would be the one to carry that burden. It depressed him greatly, for this was something he knew he could not protect her from. When she came into her own powers it would force her to experience a pain beyond imagination. It would also kill those around her if they were to near. When he told her this, she became frightened. So he promised to stand by her through it all. His promise was what caused his death. It happened when she was walking in the field one day. The phenomenon was to great to describe but her brother recognized it and rushed to Resilieth's aid. The power of it killed him. So she was left to grieve and hurt. But she didn't stay. She buried her brother and left without a word. When the site was discovered they found her brother's blood and assumed they were both killed by a demon. Now she had found her Best friend again by some twist of fate.
