Chapter Eighteen: Forsaken
Botan decided, then and there, as she slid down against the tree trunk to a sitting position, that the gods and the whole world must hate her. Her day hadn't started out as good as she wanted it to, that was for sure. First, not only had she finally summoned the courage to admit her feelings for Inuyasha, that wonderful demon that brightened her days, but also it was all wasted by what she had seen and heard.
In all honesty, her brain knew that Inuyasha loved Kagome, so really it shouldn't have been a surprise. And yet... that little vine of hope had started growing in her chest and bloomed in her heart. Oh if only her rueful heart had not chosen him.
At six in the morning, it seemed the school-girl had taken it upon herself to take Inuyasha to her time for breakfast… and lunch! She hadn't seen the demon since morning, and she had no way of knowing where in Modern Times they were at.
It wasn't until near five in the evening that the familar blue light claimed the well and the duo strolled into the village as if nothing had happened.
She had planned on taking a stroll in the woods with Inuyasha after dinner, and take him to her special place in the woods, that no one knew about. It was her place, and hers alone. And soon, she planned to share it with him as well.
Inuyasha was her everything - her life, her joy, and her love… he was everything she could have ever wanted. And then, wondering through the forrest, practicing her confession (rather loudly at that)… she had saw them… Inuyasha and Kagome… and Kagome… All she could say was…
"I'm so sorry Botan… I'm so sorry!"
Botan slammed her fist into the dirt ground, dragging her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around them and clung to them like it was her lifeline. The burning sensations in the back of her eyes were fought hard against. She didn't want to cry… she wouldn't...
"I don't love you like I do Kagome… Sorry…"
"Kagome... please don't take my sunshine away..."
