A Wolf's Cry

Chapter Two - Death

Kagome ran, not caring if any demon would come out and attack her. She kept running as fast as her legs would take her. She had done it and she silently knew in her heart that Inuyasha would not come after her this time, or anytime after this. She didn't care any more; all of her feelings for him had come to an abrupt halt. Inuyasha loved Kikyo more than anyone in this world and Kagome could never change that.

Slowing down to a jog, Kagome saw the Bone Eater's well in sight. Memories of her jumping down the well for the first time came back to her as she stopped in front of the well and looked down into it. She remembered hot Inuyasha would drag her back to his time every time he thought she was late.

Now, they were just memories and nothing more.

She wanted to forget what had happened here, but knew she wouldn't and silently wanted to keep the memories.

Shaking her head she looked up into the sky one last time as she let the cool afternoon breeze sweep around her before leaping into the well. The familiar blue light once again engulfed her, but for the last time.

She would miss the Sengoku Jidai; it was like a second home to her. But now it would be worth nothing more than its name to her. There was no reason to go back anyway, her destiny and fate had been decided and completed. Kagome didn't know what would happen to her. She completed her mission finding the shards and had given the Shikon Jewel to Inuyasha so he could make his wish to stay with Kikyo. She knew Inuyasha always wanted to stay with Kikyo, with him always visiting her during the nights when they were searching for the shards, so why was there a reason to stay?

The fact was so obvious: There was no reason.

Finally passing through the well, Kagome looked up to see the familiar roof of the well house. She was home where she belonged and here is where she would remain until death took her from this world.

Climbing up the latter and out of the well she walked up the few steps to the door of the well house and opened it. Stepping out into the sun she had to blink a few times before her eyes adjusted to how bright it was. A rush of wind blew by, picking up dirt. Kagome had to cover her eyes because of the burning sensation the dirt had caused when it went into her eyes.

When the wind stopped blowing, Kagome dusted the dirt off of herself before she began walking towards her home.

Kagome could tell something was wrong. There was no noise from Sota yelling at the video game when her lost or how her mother talked loudly to the few friends she had on the phone.

"Maybe I'm just imagining things." Kagome said to herself.

She walked up the Shrine's porch steps and approached the door. Her heartbeat seemed to quicken and her body began to twitch. `What's wrong with me?' Kagome thought wildly to herself. Her hand instinctively reached out to the door and she grasped the doorknob. Shock and worry filled Kagome as the door glided open. The door had never been left open before, even if her mother and Sota were home or not, the door would always stay locked.

Kagome slowly walked inside and looked around. Everything was dead silent.

"Mom…Sota?" Kagome called out. There was no answer and Kagome began to sweat a little. She walked slowly into the kitchen and stopped in the middle of the tile room. Her eyes began to dart everywhere, scanning to see if anything was wrong.

She became paralyzed, her eyes rested on the white kitchen wall that was now imprinted with a bloodstain. Kagome's eyes widened as she walked over to the wall and examined it slowly. The mark was strange. Someone had grasped onto the wall and dragged their hand for a slip second the releasing it altogether. The handprint of blood was smeared and it looked fresh. But who's blood could it be? Kagome's fear began to rise.

She didn't want to know who's blood it was, all she wanted to think was that her family was safe and that Sota had used red finger paint and accidentally gripped the wall and smeared the paint once he realized what he was doing. She hoped that was it and nothing serious but Kagome silently knew that it wasn't finger paint in the shape of a handprint on her wall.

She watched as if mesmerized by the drops of blood slid down the wall. She stood still, wondering if she should continue walking to see what lay in the next room.

Finally building up the courage, Kagome began walking towards the living room. Everything around Kagome was quiet and soon seemed to slow down.

Kagome felt like she was going to scream and vomit at the same time but held back. The blood was everywhere on the walls, the chairs, the couch, and on the floor. It almost looked like a war had gone on in here. The coffee table was turned upside down. Glass from the broken window was shattered everywhere.

Words could not describe how Kagome felt. It was as if her heart and sole were being ripped out once again. In the middle of the room lay both her mother and brother lying on their stomachs, dead. Two bullet wounds were embedded in the back of Sota's head and seeping with blood. Her mother lay close by, her clothes ripped and shredded. On her back were scratch marks, blood pouring out of them and flooding onto the floor.

Kagome's eyes watered as the tears began to flow down her face.

"Mamma! Sota!" she screamed loudly as she ran over to them and kneeled next to both of their bodies. They weren't moving. `Why? How could this happen?' was all on Kagome's mind at the moment as she began to shake her mother, falsely wishing she would wake up and everything would be fine.

There was still no movement and Kagome checked her pulse on her mothers' neck. There was no sign of a pulse…her mother was really dead. Kagome's body began to shiver as the sobs escaped her body. Kagome let her hand travel down her mothers' neck and rested it on her shoulder. She brought her hand to her face and found it covered in blood. Sobbing, Kagome pulled back on her mothers' shirt and found a large bite mark there.

She quickly pulled back her hand as if her hand was burned and slowly brought it down on her mothers face. She glided her hand over her mothers face and closed her panic stricken eyes shut softly. She bent down and kissed her mothers forehead and said a silent prayer and vowing to find whoever had killed her.

Kagome turned to her little brother. She also closed his frightened eyes full of emptiness shut lightly as to not disturb him and leaned down to kiss his forehead Kagome brushed the hair that covered her little brothers face out of the way before standing up and hugging herself as the full effect of what had happened hit her. She began to cry uncontrollably as she hugged herself.

What made her cry even more was that Sota's video game was still on. He must have been playing it when this happened.

Suddenly all of her sadness was taken over by anger and she fisted her hands at her side and looked at her mother and Sota. "I swear on my life mamma, Sota, I will kill whoever did this to you!" She bowed towards each of them and looked at them one last time.

That's when she heard the loud growling coming from behind her. Kagome quickly turned around to see a dog…or could it be a wolf? Her anger seemed to float away instantly, replaced with fear as she looked into the wolf's eyes. The wolf that now stood only a few feet away from her bore its fangs and was growling viciously. `This must have been the animal that killed my mother!' Thought Kagome, Sending shivers down her spine, just imagining how her mother felt. Her attentions were distracted when she hear and old man's gruff voice coming from the hallway.

"What is it blue, another wolf?" the man asked as he suddenly appeared. He had a rifle in his hands and he pointed it at Kagome and screamed, "Its another one of those wolves, get her blue! Before she tries to escape!"

The wolf ran at Kagome, barking loudly. Kagome quickly turned around and jumped out the already broken window before the wolf could get to her. She landed with her knees bent but quickly began to run again, the wolf hot on her trail.

She could hear gunshots and the bullets passing by her. The hot breath from the wolf behind her seemed to be getting closer and louder with every step she took.

`I don't want to die!'

Somehow Kagome found the strength to run faster and she slowly began to make some space between herself and the wolf when suddenly a bullet caught her arm, instantly making a gash. Kagome could hear the old man's cheer as she stumbled and let out a loud cry of agony. She kept running as fast as her legs could take her.

She had to survive, for her mother and Sota. She needed revenge but that would not happen now. Now was the time to finally get out of this place and think of a plan. Suddenly the old man called back his wolf and Kagome looked back to see that it had stopped it stopped its chase. Relief filled Kagome but she did not stop. She heard the old man speaking to the wolf. "The animals wounded, Blue. It will slow down soon enough and then we can kill it. Lets let it think it will get away for the time being." That was all Kagome heard before she began running out of the city that had been protected by the shield from everything else.

She didn't know where she was going, nor did she care.
