One Was Beautiful Week Ago
(Kagome's POV)
A week has past and it has been the best week of my life! No Inuyasha to bug me. No 'Kykio this and Kykio that'. This is wonderful Yoko thinks it's all about me 24 seven. I love him. We had our first kiss yesterday, it was quick but romantic. But like I said it was our first kiss so it was just a quick peck, okay and little long but still a peck. I wonder what Yoko thought about it?
Yoko asked me a few days ago if I would like to stay with him and his men because he moves so much and that one day he may be close and the next he may be far. I felt a little bad telling him no but we still didn't know each other that long. The biggest thing was his men because I didn't know them that well. I knew Yomi and Kuronue but still I couldn't, which is sad because he has been moving a lot.
You maybe wondering about since I live with Inuyasha I shouldn't care about these guys, but you see Inuyasha is different I knew he hated me and even if he tried something I could just tell him to 'sit' and be done with it. So if I could tell Yoko and his men all to 'sit' then I might reconsider.
I sigh and said to the sky, "Maybe one day."
(Yoko's POV)
"Men," I called out to my men. "Kuronue and I will be out late tonight. We are going to rob the place. Make sure when I get back to have this place straitened up a bit. This place is a pig stay."
"Ew hoo listen to the big taker." One of my men laughed. "He thinks his our mother now that he's got a girlfriend."
All my men stared to laugh.
"Shut up!" I yelled showing my teeth as I talked. "You heard my orders and they bettered fallow through with." Then I turned my head to my second in command. "Yomi, make sure they fallow my orders."
"Yes sir." Yomi nodded looked shaken by the tone of my voice.
"Good then we're off." I said lowering my tone and ran off with Kuronue behind me.
(Kagome's POV)
I miss Yoko. I haven't seen him at all today and it's I getting dark. I wonder if he moved again and this time it is really far away. I propped my head under my chin. Or maybe he just doesn't like me.
"No! No. No." I pulled my hair. "He does love you. He does." Then I looked up at the sky. "Or does he?"
(Yoko's POV)
The raid went great. Now all Kuronue and I had to do was out run the guards. I ran ahead but made sure Kuronue was right behind me. Everything was going great and the guards were finally tiring down when all of a sudden I saw Kuronue running the opposite way.
"Wait Kuronue!" I called out.
"I need it." He yelled back and I saw he was running to his pendent that was on the ground. Then out of nowhere sharp bamboo sticks came crashing down all around him and cutting right through him.
My legs locked and I couldn't move. My friend was going to die and I couldn't look away as cold red blood spilled out of his body. "Kuronue!" I called out hoping he could still hear me.
"Go on with out me." He wheezed. Then before he could say anymore his eyes clouded over and his now blood socked body went limp.
(Kagome's POV)
I guess I'm not going to see Yoko today after all. He still hasn't come so I guess I should just tell myself that he was probably busy and just couldn't come see me. I hope that is all. I probably should get some sleep now and stop worrying about it.
Tomorrow is now today.
(Yoko's POV)
I came in to camp with my head down and my mind on what I had just witness. What was I going to tell my men when they ask where Kuronue was? How was I going to live?
"Sir?" Yomi said as I seat down and grabbed a huge jug of liquor. "Are you alright?"
I chugged the liquor and tried to just forget everything and when the liquor took hold and my mind was being blanketed by darkness. Soon I could finally forget. Forget. Forget. Forget.
(Kagome's POV)
Yoko hasn't come to see my in three days now. I went to his camp site he had been at last time but it was empty and unlived in when I got there. Maybe he was really gone and that beautiful week we had had together was now in past and would always remain there. I'm going to miss him but maybe I should go back to Inuyasha.
"Forgive me Yoko." I said with tears dripping from my eye as I looked into the dark forest. "For anything I have done to hurt you that made you leave. And even if you don't love me any more please know that I still love you. I love you!" Then I feel to my knees and cried.
(Yoko's POV)
It as been three days since I have last seen Kagome and four hours since I last had a good drink of liquor. I miss Kagome and I hope to see her soon but right now I couldn't bare the pain of having to smile and act like everything is okay. I told one of my men to go get me some more booze but Yomi said I had had too much and shouldn't drink anymore. What did he think I would get sick? I was already sick. That was my whole point. If I drink my heart out then I wouldn't be able to remember want happened to Kuronue.
With a huge sigh I laid down on the hard ground and propped my head up on a rock then looked up at the cloudless sky. I was still a little drunk but because it was wearing down I was beginning to remember everything which was making me sicker. Then as I my still drunken mind replayed Kuronue's death the sky turned blood red through my drunken eyes and my drunken ears could still hear Kuronue's last words. Then my drunken self told me that I could have done something. That didn't have to be the end and he shouldn't have died. He wasn't ready for Hell yet I was. I should have been the one to die.
The sky of blood was now moving in waves like the wives of and ocean. But oceans have ends this ocean of blood had no end. His blood was all around us now and I was the only one who could see it. And his last words were getting louder and more painful to listen to and still I was the only one who knew. I was the only one who had to watch him die. I was the one who didn't save him and I was the one who should have died.
The wind started howling in my ears and Kuronue's last words screamed in my sensitive ears before I went into complete darkness and fell asleep.
Go on without me. Run you cowered. Leave me here to die. Run run run…
