When Inuyasha went outside, he didn't expect to find his brother. Sesshomaru sat on the first step that goes toward the school, with his hands in his head. Inuyasha's eyes widen. He slowly makes his way down toward his brother. "What do you want Inuyasha!?" snaps Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's eyes soften as he sat down near his brother. "It's Kagome, isn't it?" Inuyasha said smugly, glad he figured out his brothers problem. "Smug bastard." Sesshomaru mumbles into his hands.
Inuyasha grinned and patted Sesshomaru on the back. "This is what you signed up for. When it comes to Kagome you never know what you get." Sesshomaru looked up at Inuyasha, coldly. "She called me Hojo." Inuyasha's eyes widen, and his face turned grave.
Kagome ran towards her warehouse. She opened and closed the warehouse doors, quickly and quietly. She ran up the stairs to the second, and third floor of the warehouse. Once she got to the attic, she quickly looked in her bag for a lighter. Once she had it, she lit every candle in her special room.
She sat in the middle of the floor watching the flickers of every candle. They told secrets. They told many of her secrets. Secrets no one is suposed to know about. They've seen her at her worst. When she was crying on the floor, screaming for help because he was hurting her, they were there.
She stood up, walking towards the flame. She will never be the same person she was before. She used to be fun and cheerful. She used to be able to make friends with anybody. She remembered herself before she was raped, she wanted to be that person again. Cold tears ran down her boiling face. Tears of anger, and frustation. She didn't sign up for this. She didn't sign up for this horrible heartbreaking pain.
She looked at the flames, teeth clenched together. Why? Why did she get all the rough breaks while everybody else had a good life? She scratched her nails against her hands, angry welts following after. She stared at the flames in a new light. She reached out to touch one. The blazing orange red was amazing.
She touched it.
Sparks flew inside her. It didn't burn, but invited her to come in. She welcomed the warm feeling inside her graciously. It was wonderful. She pulled back, forcibly. She didn't want the wonderful feeling to go away. She wanted to feel that way everyday. It was almost like...Kagome's eyes almost popped out of her head. It was the old feeling she used to have before she was raped. She stared at her hand.
It was orange. A light golden orange. She looked at the flames.
Hello. How are you. Come with me and I will show you the way out of your pain. Your future is with me. Even when you are alone, I will be with you Kagome. I will never leave you alone. You are NOT alone in this world Kagome.
Kagome was frightend at first. The voice was rough and gentle. Deep and baritone. "Who are you?" Kagome asked frightend.
My name is...
"Kagome what are you doing?"
