InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sweet Song of A Broken Heart ❯ Girl in the Shadows ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

She has a gift, it is amazing but could it change a heart?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tears.

Like the ones falling down her face.

And dreams.

Broken dreams.

That is all she had left….

He had thrown her out on the streets because of her damn curiosity but she just had to see what he had in that box.

And that was her last chance.

Her third strike.

She wept bitterly, as the dark sky joined her.

At first it was just a sprinkle.

But it began to pour, and so did she.

Because she had no where to go.

And no one to run to.

And she reminded herself.

‘All I have is tears and pain and broken dreams.’

So she went to the place where she could find peace, the wall. She loved it there because it was the high wall around the palace, one day she dreamed to get in the walls and sing for the Lord and his mate. But that would never happen . She wasn’t pretty, her hair was brown not blonde, she was not thin and fragile, but muscled and strong from many years of slavery. Her eyes were not the color of the ocean but they were green as the fields that she dreamed of.

Every once in a while she would come out to the wall and sing, quietly, she did not want anyone to hear her, she just wanted to sing……and remember…..the green fields like emeralds, and the male and female Inu-demons that held her hands helping her through the thick brush. She doesn’t know who they are but she know she likes them.

The sky was now a waterfall, never halting in its downpour over the innocent child of such a young age of 14.

Because of the rain, no one was out in the streets so she sang…………really sang so each rain drop seemed to stop and listen.

“There's a song that's inside of my soul. It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold. But you sing to me over and over and over again.
Eliane chocked back her bitter tears.
So, I lay my head back down. And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours I know now you're my only hope.
*A carriage sounded in the distance.*
Sing to me the song of the stars. Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again. When it feels like my dreams are so far Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again. So I lay my head back down. And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours I know now, you're my only hope. I give you my destiny. I'm giving you all of me. I want your symphony, singing in all that I am At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back. So I lay my head back down. And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours I pray, to be only yours I know now you're my only hope. hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.”

As Elaine looked she saw a boy in the carriage window, he did not look at her, but he listened to her although she did not know it.

She put the thought aside thinking it was just a couple of rich folk from main street two blocks away.

That song was sung to her in her infant years, it was so sweet and soft her voice was perfect for the lulling melody. Oh if her parents could see her from heaven they would be proud.

Although her many trials she retained her sweet attitude, she was so sweet but silent as a mouse. Her comment if ever given were of the most wise nature. She was truly a sweet girl.

She worked hard at all she did but it was never good enough, and so she drifted from home to home, each had its share of mean Masters and slave drivers, and then some like the last one treated her like a daughter, but she just had to go and mess it up. Her curiosity did tend to get her in trouble, which isn’t the best thing for a girl with no protection.

As she laid down under her favorite prayer tree, she dreamed of her family and of her fairy tale ending.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the light of dawn she woke and jumped on the high branches of her favorite prayer tree. Being a purebred female Inu-demon without protection was not the safest thing in the world, well of course she could defend her self but she didn’t like confrontation.

She began to hum her favorite song over and over and she let the day waste away and her worried thought were thinking of food and shelter and protection.

And then she heard something in the branches.

The fear inside was enough to make her run but she bit it back.

She moved closer…

And closer…

Closer…


To find none but a bird sitting on a small branch near the top.


Her mind clamed as she climed back down to her branch, the one with her name carved into it.

It read:

“Elaine Cheza ?”


She did not have a last name.

Not anymore.

And as she laid down her head to rest……………..it came.
