Running In Circles Without You
An Inuyasha Story
Hearts are torn, eyes are opened
Prologue
Funny. Strange. Interesting, how a single kiss, or even just a mere glance could confuse so much, jumble everything into nothing, break what was once called un-breakable. With the time that unfolds, you might lose that person who gave that heart startling gaze, who carelessly planted that kiss upon those lips as a scene to deceive. You take love for granted, like most people do breathing and caring about the blood in their veins, like it'll always be there for you to pick up and just use, not even bothering to think that it may be gone the next day.
It's like the crimson blood that races through those long, blue veins. Coursing through the body, keeping you energetic, smiling, alive. But if you ever got a tiny cut and that vital blood began to seep out, do you care? Don't bother to care for what you have, or what others have. You willingly hurt people and watch them bleed, knowing they will eventually heal and only a tiny scar will remain to haunt them of the horrors. But what to do when they bleed so much, and all blood is drained. The person aches, becomes pale and sickly. Eventually, dies. Who's fault is it now? When you didn't care at all to see the blood and now that person is gone.
And when that person who has been deceiving, finds their own blood drained from their body, flowing from that fault that your other lover created, they regret it all.
People absolutely need blood, like they need love to survive. But you wound the one you love in the heart, watch them bleed, watch the love drain.
What if that love is toyed with and injured by more than one being? And what if those who are toying with others are just being toyed with, themselves. A circle. Just a circle of cheated love. But only if time could rewind and everyone could just start over and be with the ones they knew they loved.
Bet you want to take it all back now, Inuyasha. And the jewel is almost complete. If only time could rewind. Too bad the world doesn't quite work that way…
