Even the Mighty Fall
Chapter 4: Emotive Anguish
(Emotional) (Pain)
Kagome tried to suck in the suffocating air as she gasped. She had nearly bumped into the superior killer himself. Kagome slowly and carefully looked up and took two steady, well as steady of steps back as she could. He stood very still and tall. His normal stoic expression was lacking, and in its place was a ‘you touched me…. Die!’ expression. Kagome didn’t seem to notice or even care.
“Sesshomaru…. What do you want?”
Kagome showed no fear of him. She was startled to see him at first, but that soon faded away just like her other emotions. She was nothing but a scribbled piece of paper. Useless and used. Sesshomaru remained silent and stared into her eyes, searching for the one thing he desires…. Fear. Sadly, she seemed to lack it and after a few moments of bug eyed staring and eardrum pounding silence, Kagome sighed.
“Fine. Don’t answer. Now if you please, I am tired and need to pass.”
Kagome dropped her shoulders and started to walk forward and around him before he startled her with a response.
“Why do you not show respect for the Lord of the Western Lands?”
Kagome stopped and raised her gaze to look at him straight in the eyes. Those burning eyes that complimented his silver hair. His soft silver hair…. At least it seemed soft.
‘He has the same eyes as Inuyasha.’ She paused, ‘No…. his are different but so alike.’
Sesshomaru cleared his throat and he looked rather annoyed.
“I do not respect those who do not respect me. And seeing as you have tried to kill me numerous times, you have not earned my respect.” Wrong thing to say to a demon lord. And Kagome quickly learned that lesson.
Sesshomaru grabbed her by the neck and shoved her into a large tree. She felt the bark dig into her exposed skin and felt it burn when she slipped down a little. Her hands automatically went up to hold his wrist and support her weight since her feet did not touch the ground.
“Insolent little fool! I could kill you now with no hesitation!”
Kagome could feels his sharp claws slide against her neck, but she still didn’t care. Kagome’s eyes never left his and her expression remained calm and straight forward. In an unusually calm voice she replied.
“Then do it.”
Mocking him…. That was what she must be doing. This confused Sesshomaru but angered him even more. He narrowed his eyes and started to squeeze Kagome’s neck until…. until she did something much unexpected. She let her hands drop to her waist as she closed her eyes and smiled. Sesshomaru’s eyes grew wide.
‘Does this human wish for death?’
He let go of her neck in a moment of perplexity and watched her fall to the hard ground below. Kagome fell hard on all fours and stared at the very interesting soil.
“Why do you not scream for my half-brothers aid? Do you with for death so much?” Sesshomaru’s face became cold once again but his eyes showed his curiosity. In the time that he has known Kagome, she has never once wished for death upon anyone except Naraku. She has helped all. Even those she is not fond of. Why does she wish for death? Sesshomaru stared down at the miko and soon smelled the salt from her tears. The smell that tingles his nose oh so much. Kagome never looked up.
“Ha…. He’s too busy to walk me back to the village. And I won’t wait for him anymore.” Kagome smile was lost once again as she hit the ground with her fists. She became silent and slowly raised her level of sight to his.
“You sound as if you want him to come to help me….“ She lowered her eyes again. “I refuse to wait any longer and I refuse to be second! If you want to kill me, then please do.” Kagome then whispered but the demon lord heard her clearly.
“At least the pain will be gone.” A moment of deathly silence fell upon them. Kagome waited for him to decapitate her, poison her, or at the very least strangle her.
“Miko.” Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru again.
“My idiot half-brother is not worth the pain you endure. Take my advice and leave him. If you wish for death so, then I will not be the one to grant it for you.”
Sesshomaru turned on the ball of his foot and walked into the cover of the forest just as silent as when he came. Kagome slowly stood and dried her tears. She brushed the small pebbles that clung to her knees and continued to walk back to the village lost in thought as if nothing of importance has happened. Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sesshomaru. So much has occurred in such a short time that the thoughts bombarded her and her heart was painfully throbbing. Every thought made the pain intensify ten fold. Thankfully, that pain eventually turned to a numbing ache as she tried to focus on other important issues. Like how her right foot went in front of her left foot without her having to think about it.
‘How could I have been so naïve? There have been so many signs. It should have been clear that Inuyasha wants to be with Kikyo. Especially after he left me to search for her when Naraku first ….when Naraku killed her a second time. Inuyasha allowed me to be captured and used.’ Kagome sobbed but quickly stopped. The small darkness that was once found in her heart was now very clear. ‘I will not give out my happiness or my heart anymore. I’ve lost too much. And I’ll never get it back…. I better get used to this cause no one’s willing to give me their happiness.’ She bowed her head. ’And no one will give me their heart. I will forever be alone…. Life sucks! Why couldn’t Sesshomaru just kill me and get my pain over with? Everyone would gain something. I wouldn’t have this pain, Inuyasha wouldn’t have to choose, and Sesshomaru could torture Inuyasha with my decapitated body!.... Why didn’t he do it? He had the perfect opportunity.’ Kagome soon entered the village and slowly made her way to Kaede’s hut. She was unaware of Inuyasha’s later return to the village as a deep slumber consumed her as soon as she laid her head down. How could anyone stay awake after an extremely emotional draining night like this one? She didn’t know and didn’t care. She was and forever would be…. alone.
