Things could not be better. I swear, it's so wonderful there's no possible way things can get better. Will they get worse? Probably not. But right now, I don't even care. I found the man of my dreams, of who I thought didn't exist. However, as time passes, I keep thinking back to when I first met him. I thought he'd be trouble, but I was wrong. He's anything but trouble. Rin and Jaken keep pointing out how happy I seem, and how different Sesshomaru is. We hardly even notice, because we're so absorbed in each other, and my curiosity about our destination is gone. Who cares where we're headed, anyway? As long as I've got him, I'm ok. That night, we sleep together again. I feel so safe around him, and I don't take long to fall asleep.
I open my eyes. I look around, and Sesshomaru and Jaken are gone. Rin is still here, but my dear Sesshomaru isn't. What's he doing out again? I wonder. I wait, and wait for I don't know how long. Minutes, hours, I don't know. But I eventually hear leaves crunching. I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I overhear Sesshomaru and Jaken, talking about something odd. "We can't go to Chi." says Sesshomaru. Who's this Chi girl? Have we been going to her all this time? "We'll have to find another human who's blood she can drink. Because Kiyomi won't work." Whoa, what's he talking about? Was he giving me to this vampire-demon creature? I open my eyes and jump up. I run in the direction of their voices and stop in front of them. Sesshomaru looks down at me and freezes. I look up at those eyes that I love, and don't know what to say. "Who's Chi?" is all I can come up with. "No one." Sesshomaru replies, and tries to walk around me but I block him. "I heard your conversation, and I know something's going on. So you better start talking. Now."
Sesshomaru's eyes narrow down at me. Jaken steps forward and speaks. "Chi is a demon who lives on blood. We were going to let her drink your blood in place of Rin, but Sesshomaru says we can't." Sesshomaru's head straightens up, looking past me. I take a step forward. "Sesshomaru…I thought…you loved me." I say. Tears well up in my eyes and I try to hold them back, but they come anyway. "But no. You just…used me…" I look down and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stop the flow of tears. I open them and see Sesshomaru looking down at me, with concern in his eyes. He takes a step forward. "Kiyo-" I cut him off. "You didn't love me! You just used me! And…and…I knew it! I knew you'd be trouble when I met you. I though I was wrong, but I was right. You're nothing but trouble. You're sick, and evil to betray me like this. I'm out of here." I turn around and run at top speed away. I have no idea where I'm going, I just need to escape this. I slow down, and finally stop. I climb up a tree and cry like a baby. Hours pass, and I keep thinking why? Why would someone do that? That's so twisted. He was my soul mate, and we were meant to be together forever. But he was lying, and he just wanted to get rid of me. Then I wonder why me? My life is so messed up. I'll never be happy. My crying speeds up and I eventually cry myself to sleep.
I open my eyes. I sit up and look around. It's noon and I'm totally alone, sitting at the bottom of a tree. What happened? Where is everyone? What about Sesshomaru? Suddenly, my memory of last night comes back to me. I found out the truth, that Sesshomaru didn't love me and was just using me, and ran off and cried myself to sleep. I can't help but hope it was a dream. I'm sure they're around here somewhere, they probably just took off to go get some food or something. They'll be back, right? No. It wasn't a dream. It actually happened. Tears flood my eyes. I begin sobbing uncontrollably again. I try to stop, but it's impossible. The tears just keep coming.
I think back about my life. I was born with that horrible disease, and my legs were paralyzed. I was shamed by everyone, despite my disease eventually healing. I stopped growing early, and was only 2ft. 6in. I was told I'll never be a demon slayer, and disgraced all my life. On my 9th birthday, I was caught spying on Sensei's class, and he agreed to secretly train me. I finally got tired of it at the age of 15, and began planning my escape. 1 year later, I finally went through with it. I left a note for my family and Sensei and left. I found Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken in the woods, almost killed them but saved them instead, and began traveling with them. I fell in love with Sesshomaru. I found out he loved me back, and everything was on cloud 9. Sesshomaru deceived me and it all came crashing down. I thought I would do something when I escaped, I thought I would kill demons and gain honor, and felt so powerful. I fell in love instead, and was betrayed by my love. And look at me now, lost in the woods, all alone and heartbroken. I'll never, ever be happy. I'm instead doomed to suffer for the rest of my life. Crunch. The sound shatters my grieving. I look up to see Sensei emerge from the woods. Sensei? What's he doing here? I wonder.
