A child's despair

The hunt had been successful. However, the lingering feeling of listlessness had remained with him.

The young prince stared inot the flickering flames, his golden eyes dull. There was so much pain. He could feel so much pain, and he didn't know hat to do about it. He had dispatched his prey with a single blow, not bothering to to play around with it, as he was usually prone to doing.

A sudden image of Kagome sprang up in his mind, and he shook his head, not wanting to hear the echoes of her mournful wail on his departure.

His beastial nature was silent. Ever since the awakening of his beast, it would growl or rumble, or be playful, but ever since his fight with Kagome, the beast had been silent. He would only whimper at times.

Seshoumaru leaned his head against the tree, looking up into the sky. Was he being too harsh? After all, Kagome was a human, and an infant at that. His father, his mother, even Higurashi were displeased with his behaviour, but he couldn't help himself. He was just so hurt.

Kagome had chosen his father over him. She had told him that she hated him. At that very moment, something inside him had snapped. A part of him burned with pain, and he had felt empty and lost. Kagome didn't love him anymore. He had been trying to take care of her and had ended up, making her hate him.

His eyes burned, and he blinked. Sighing he looked at the waning moon. It was time to go back.

He tossed the dead bear over his shoulder, and began the long journey home, his young heart heavy with pain.
