The Forest

Have you ever felt that rush through your veins as everything passed by you as if no on wanted to stop you and watch you go? Have you ever had that feeling as if your veins had run cold instead of hot like a showerhead spraying on you? Have you ever had to make a decision that would totally ruin your life or make your world? I had hoped that I wouldn’t’. I never knew I had a choice. Red pill or blue pill. Will you follow the white rabbit?
Kagome’s thoughts flowed out of her head as she tried to remember what to do. She never thought she would have to make the decision. Wasn’t this ruining the rules of life. Wasn’t the hanyou suppose to live for eternity in their own darkness. The cold motionless dream world of their minds as their home and everyone their enemy. Wasn’t the world suppose to be against them, but what was she expecting? ‘I wasn’t expecting this’.

Her head stayed tucked under her chin and she stared at his hands in her hands, entwined together like lovers of the night. Her small pale ones under his large strong ones. Her small hands look so weak. The warmth of their fingers made her shiver and she pondered on what it would be like if she could stay like this together. His thumb stroked her skin and she cried out on how he could possibly show so much affection to her when he hardly knew her himself.

Her eyes glanced at him and tried hard not to look too obvious when he caught her looking. Then before she knew it. Her feet took off on their own.

Tough, abusive wind bit and thrashed at her as she sped up through he forest. Her forest. All she could think of was run. Run. Run. Just Keep running. Run from the village, from the people, from Inuyasha and from……herself. It was as if she was only operated for those words. Her head cramped at every thought she tried to think of to get herself out of her mind. She was like a mad women. At one point she wondered why it hurt so much. How much damage could her mind do to her? Inuyasha she whispered to the wind when she was sure he had not followed her. I guess that’s what hanyou do.

He had watched as her face glowed a deathly pale and how her hands trembled in his hands as he held them. The only thing that kept her to him. They were connected. ‘Why did I ask her that’? He had asked himself that over and over again as she stared and watched her stare at their hands, trapped in her mind of a defeating battle she kept up for so long. When her eyes had released itself from herself, she had looked at him almost frightened. He held her gaze as he tried to read into her. See her. See the girl that was only Kagome.
It wasn’t until the warmth of her hands were yanked out from under his did he watch as she ran away from him. He jumped down and watched as her hair swayed into the breeze and disappear into the lonesome group of trees. He hadn’t anted to admit it but she had hit him where it hurt. Somewhere he hadn’t known would hurt so much since a long time ago. She turned her back on him, but he wouldn’t give up on her. Kagome. He chased after her, his silver hair shimmering through he trees, disappearing after her. He wouldn’t let her go without a fight. He didn’t know why but he had to find her. To be near her.

“Keh”, he said as he found her sweet berry scent and the splash of a waterfall nearby.
