InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cycle of Pain until Release ❯ Chapter 2 (november 4 2004) ( Chapter 2 )

It was late. Real late. Only the sound of a pencil scratching against paper could be heard.

The tears come at night

No matter how much I plead

That's why I take this knife

And watch in satisfaction as I bleed

My pain doesn't reflect

So you'll never know

I'll hide my cuts

So they don't show

For now I'll smile

And pretend I'm okay

But someday my secrets will be known

Because the scars will never fade

Kagome frowned at her poem. It wasn't the best, but it got her point across. It just needed one finishing touch. She took her pocketknife and closely examined her arm, looking for a piece of skin that hadn't been touched yet. She found a place and dragged the point of her knife across her arm. She didn't flinch, she didn't cry. She was beyond that point. Pain was nothing new to her. She quickly dipped a quill in her blood and signed her name at the bottom of her poem with a flourish. Someday, she thought I'll show you my poems and my cuts. I'll show you how bad you've hurt me. Tears blurred her vision. She laughed bitterly at herself. No amount of physical pain could spring a tear, but any mentioning of you could get her sobbing. God how she hated him. She hated him for making her hurt. She hated him for making her love him. But that was it. She loved him. No matter how many times he hurt her she would always forgive him. She would always be there for him, no matter the cost.

" I'll always love you Inuyasha." She whispered. She allowed a few tears to fall before she snuggled under her covers. Pretending that he was there, holding her. "Just for tonight Yasha." She whispered. And she fell asleep with sweet, soft dreams of Inuyasha holding her, kissing her gently. But dreams were always a sweet release from reality. Once her dreams were over the pain would be back

Some one shook her half-conscience body. She groaned in annoyance and hid her head under her pillow. "C'mon Kagome." Inuyasha grumbled. He lifted her pillow and screamed, "WAKE UP!!" in her ear. She screamed in return, hurting the little triangles on top of his head. He cursed as she sat up straight in her bed. "Yasha, what're you doing here?" she mumbled as she fell back into her pillow. "Well uh there's no school today, due to the fact of elections and we were going to take advantage of the seven hours of freedom and hang out with Sango and Miroku, who are waiting in my car." Inuyasha explained. "Right," She said getting up and stretching. She turned to face him and she noticed his eyes drifting down to her exposed arms and. "Hey, what's that?" He asked. She freaked out and tried to cover her arms with her quarter-length sleeve. "Um nothing." She laughed nervously and started pushing him out of her room. "Buyo just scratched me that's all." She pushed him outside her bedroom door. " I have to change." She said simply before she slammed the door.

She slid down the door and sighed. That was close. She thought. It was getting harder to hide her scars from him. She was going to have to be more careful.
