InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Laconic ❯ Bereft ( Chapter 2 )

Bereft

 

In her arms, he is cold.

 

When once a scratch behind his ears would sound low rumbles, deep, down, in his chest, there is nothing. In his body, something has stopped beating.

 

When once he would lay his head upon her lap and sleep in a cocoon of nothing bliss, it now rests limp and heavy. In oblivion, his amber eyes have stopped waking.

 

When once in her embrace he was life, he now lies empty and far away. In her hold, he is absent, missing.

 

And Kagome holds Buyo to her breast, a trickle trailing sorrow down her cheek.
