InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Hardened Heart ❯ Chapter Two ( Chapter 2 )

When she awoke it was with full memory of what had happened, in both times. In the past they had finally defeated Naraku. It had felt so good to know that he was gone at least for a split second. Then she realized that her companions, save Sesshomaru, had all died. Even her young kit, who just wouldn't stay with Rin at Sesshomaru's castle, had not managed to survive. Even though her heart cried out to her mind to wish them back, she knew she could not taint the jewel with such a selfish wish. So she had left, limping back to the well, blood pouring from the numerous wounds that littered her body. Back through the well, to the comforting and understanding arms of her mother. Her mother though was lost in that magical fire, along with her brother and grandfather. She broke away from her musings as not the over-cheery nurse walked in but a woman with dark smoky eyes and light fair hair. She was somber, an enormous contrast to the nurse.

“Miss Higurashi?” Kagome looked up at her briefly before looking away, outside the window to where everything was green and pure.

“Miss Higurashi, even though you are nineteen and of legal age, your mother in her will asked that you be sent to your only living relative. His name I believe is Sirius Black and he lives in London. You will be sent to him as soon as you have recovered. We have already sent a letter to him explaining what has happened and when you will arrive.” She was going to continue when Kagome glanced over at her. Her dark eyes widened upon seeing Kagome's midnight blue ones.

“I will leave Friday. I will be healed by then. Call my dear uncle and tell him that there had been a change of times. That will be all. You may leave now.” Her voice was cold and aloof, as if she didn't care at all. The woman jerked shocked, Friday was in two days, and the young lady expected to be healed by then? She shook her head and went to reply when the girls piercing eyes came swiftly back to hers.

“Did I not just dismiss you? Leave you try my patience, woman.” Her eyes were as hard as steel and frightened the woman who was at least fifteen years her senior. The woman left as fast as her sensible heels would let her. Kagome looked out the window and vague wondered about this said uncle of hers. He'd better not be some spineless coward was all she could think as the fiery sun set, leaving the sky a blood red color.
