InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Hardened Heart ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

She stared up at the place she had called home for most of her 19 years. While she had been stuck in the past the shrine had caught fire. It had been a fire in which water actually spurred the flames on as if they were gas. Tears streamed down her pale face making her midnight blue eyes dark and cloudy. Her mother, brother, and grandfather had been caught in the fire, the fire men said they hadn't suffered at all they had died in their sleep from smoke inhalation. She however knew this was a lie, she could feel their torment, their pain, crying out through the air to her already tortured soul. This coupled with her recent loss in the past did what no demon had yet to do, it made her faint.
