The ride to Kagome's complex was soundless, but that didn't help to eliminate the suffocating feeling that clouded around them conflictingly.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Inuyasha had the other placed against his lips, rubbing them with worry and regret. The shock of Kikyou killing herself affected him far more than he was willing to let on. And the fact that she did it on her birthday – the same day he foolishly and carelessly broke it off with her – made him feel lower that dirt itself.
It's my fault, He silently admitted, his eyes misting over with tears of regret. If he wasn't so caught up in his own world, and selfishly thought of his own happiness then maybe he could have approached the topic with a better understanding.
"It's my fault," Kagome whispered, echoing Inuyasha's silent thought. "I was selfish… I… We…" Looking over towards Inuyasha who refused to face her, she couldn't help the trembling of her lips, wish that this whole day could stop and rewind… rewind back to this morning… rewind back to when…
She sighed.
"There's nothing you could have done –…" Kagome's snort made him stop mid-sentence.
He snorted as well. Even he knew that was a load of bull.
"Did you know in a few days it would make sixteen years since we all knew each other?" Shaking her head at the irony, Kagome's eyes glazed over as she thought back to their younger days, when Kagome was the new kid and Kikyou befriended her, and then forced Inuyasha himself to befriend her.
The lights zipped by in a long line of beams, reflecting off of the windows as Kagome's focus went in and out towards the scenery. Even with the windows up, and the heater on, Kagome still felt chilled and she vaguely wondered if this coldness would cling to her until it consumed her very soul.
Maybe it should – it couldn't be as bad as the suicide of her best friend.
Again, she sighed, her eyes drifting up to Inuyasha as he discreetly brushed a free tear from his violet orbs. With a sad smile touching her lips, she was glad that even his shell couldn't prevent such an act; especially since she knew he really cared for Kikyou.
Constant thoughts of her late friend made her hair stand on end, but shaking the feeling away – for the umpteenth time, Kagome rubbed the back of her neck this time and almost instantly she jumped in her seat, sitting erect and away from the seat, her face almost kissing the dash board.
"I just felt something," She frantically muttered, her eyes as wide as saucers.
"It's probably your hair," Smiling despite himself, Inuyasha flicked a gaze her way. "I always tell you that your hair's too damn long."
In any other situation, Kagome might have given him a retort of her own, seeing that his hair was longer than hers – but the uneasiness refused to give her such a privilege. "No… It's not that…" She looked around slowly and accusingly as if someone was playing some sick joke on her. "It felt like… It felt like…" Furrowing her brows in concentration, she turned her back to Inuyasha and looked between the small space of the seat and the door.
A loud scream burst from her throat as she literally jumped out of her seat and over to Inuyasha, making him lose control for a few long seconds as her scream of terror continued.
"What the fuck, Kags!" Trying to gain control of his vehicle, Inuyasha steered off road and onto a bumpy dirt track.
"I just saw fingers!" She cried, her whole body trembled like a washing machine gone bad. "They were long and bloody…!" Clinging to Inuyasha as she sputtered out a ridiculous description, she felt some fingers – maybe even the same reaching up in her hair and caressing her like a mother would her babe.
Turning around hesitantly to face the window of the driver's side, Kagome came eye to eye with a pair of cinnamon doe orbs that had mixture of blood trickling into them.
Her orbs turned larger than saucer before she hyperventilated.
She screamed.
