InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Finding You ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

 

Amber eyes stared solemnly out into the night sky. Stars dotted the eternal blackness, lighting it in a faint glow of hope. He shook his head... it was all over. The battle done, the evil destroyed, nothing was left for him here. Not her, not anybody. He was the only one left. He was all alone, so, so alone.

He stared at the tiny pink jewel in his hand hatred coursing through his veins. Hating it for the pain it caused, for the loss, for the lives. What had they done to deserve this? Any of them… And what did he do to deserve this life? This second chance? It had something to do with the wish, of that he was sure. She had taken the jewel away on her own and when she had some back, it was pure and it was empty. No longer glowing, no longer living, Midriko's soul was freed, their quest over.

He has watched them. Watched as they faded slowly. Fading away one by one. He had tried to tell her, to warn her. Her life was short... his was long. A simple mark- a simple cut, it would have saved him the pain. But she didn't want it… she hadn't wanted to leave them all behind. She was so frail; she couldn't have handled the pain. So she went with them, falling into the arms of death. Just like humans were supposed to, just like she was supposed to.

And she left him here…all alone.
