Escape- a Kouga/Kagome Story
Chapter 15: The Loner
To put in words- if possible- how he felt on a daily basis since he came back: it'd be lonely, lost, and downright pitiful. Life had kicked him in the ass and spit in his face since the day she'd left him. Inuyasha sighed in his tree perch, this was how it was since day one; he was left to hide in a tree, and just stare at the distance, maybe twirl leaves in his claws, only to pull them off not two seconds later. Again he sighed, tilting his head. Well, at least he wasn't like Kikyo; he had a beating heart, body heat, a pulse. Proof of him being a real being, he could bleed, feel, see and think like a live person, he needed substance like a living being. Not souls, but food and water, and sunlight. He wouldn't be a burden to the living like she was. Speaking of her, he saw- in the fading sunset- her soul bugs float and whistle his way. Instantly he heeded its silent call. With a push of his feet he was off, heading towards the soul bug's light and Kikyo's scent.
In a matter of 15 minutes he was in front of her, looking to the left. He didn't want to see her face anymore, not after the last meeting. That was the one that caused everything to go bad, when she decided to kick him in the balls and then Kagome decided to do the same. "So you haven't been wasted by Naraku, then Inuyasha." Kikyo stated simply. Inuyasha scrunched his face. "You don't know what happened Kikyo. I was murdered in the heart and in the body. The only reason I'm here now is because the oni witch that revived you tried to do the same with me too soon and I was able to fully revive as one living body of flesh and blood- stead of clay and soil." He replied coldly. Kikyo was silent, torn between laughing in his face and giving him pity. Now she simply decided to leave. "Well, I wanted to know of your whereabouts, I'm assuming when you were murdered was why your aura suddenly dissipated. I shall take my leave." She said, turning away to silently leave his sight. "Do it then, I don't care anymore." He whispered.
Again Inuyasha drifted into his tree perch, his face now contorted in anger. How pathetic he'd become! Where was the strongest hanyou in existence, who was able to wield the sword that could kill a hundred in a single stroke? Then he hid his face in his sleeves. That Inuyasha was gone, just like Kagome: the girl who'd stood by him when he got that damn sword, and every day since then, until Kikyo came again! It was all Kikyo's fault in a way. But then technically all of the blame was shared between him, Kikyo and the oni witch he'd wasted. So he'd gotten revenge for all the pain and trouble they'd been through since Kikyo's remaking. Inuyasha sniffed as a few tears ran down his face. All his life things were this way, no real feelings given to him spare pity and anger. No real companions, Kagome had left, taking with her everyone else and all his sunshine, all his inner peace. Inuyasha's inner demon began to stir, get revenge, and steal her back! Inuyasha shook his head, no. He would not be violent, sure he'd regain Kagome- but not this way, it'd take time. For now, he decided, he'd just wait it out. He'd help from the sidelines maybe, but when he was free to roam and so was she, he'd take her back.
With a firm nod Inuyasha began walking for his dinner when he came across an enticing scent. It was ethereal like, that scent of pine, fresh after storm air, and dew. He then caught the salty mineral scent of a hot spring, and found his body following said smell. Finally he crept upon the spring, and through the mist he saw a female silhouette, the same one leaking the ethereal scent! He crept closer still, silent. He wanted to see who- or what this scent was and what- or who- it belonged to.
Ok so...new drama here with some insight to Inu. Oi I feel so sad for him right now, but hey! Who is this scent? Will there be hope yet for our poor little puppy? Review to find out!
