"Lost in the darkest of shadows, fading into you"
SkyMaiden
A little half demon boy, runs in the woods. He's being chased again, he's always running away. Because in truth he has no where to go. His mom is dead, father long gone. No one to turn to, no one who cares about him. He stops for a minute, he doesn't know where to run next. He turns to leave, but see's someone in the distance.
He blinked curiously, it was a girl. A human girl, she was pretty he thought. But knew not to get too close, he was half demon. No one wanted to be around him, no one cared. He accidentally stepped on a branch. The sound caused the girl to look up.
"Who's there?"
He was standing behind the bushes. She could see him, he knew it. But still he remained silent, maybe she wouldn't say anything else. Golden eyes met mahogany and thats how it remained. Until she started walking closer to him.
"Are you alright?"
He jumped from behind the bushes, and ran off. Kikyou had not meant to scare the boy away. He just looked like he needed someone. So she ran after him, he was faster. She could clearly see that he was a half demon.
"Wait." she called out.
But he did not, he kept running. He looked back to see her, she was still following him. Inuyasha was not paying attention and ran straight into a tree. Leaving Kikyou time to catch up to him. She stopped looking at the boy, who was now lying on the ground.
Inuyasha opened his eyes, and jumped back. He shouldn't be here with this human. But he noticed that she wasn't cowering in fear. In fact she was the total opposite of other humans.
"I'm sorry, if I scared you." she told him.
He sat up slowly, trying his best to avoid her gaze. She stood only a few feet away from him. Why wasn't she afraid, didn't she know what he was.
"I'm Kikyou, I see you don't talk much."
Inuyasha learned his lesson he should never talk to humans. He could talk to no one, humans or demons. Because he was hated by both races. Although he was a part of both, he was equally hated. But this girl did not fear him. He opened his mouth to say something.
"I... I'm Inuyasha." he responded.
"Hello Inuyasha, once again I'm very sorry for scaring you."
She was very respectful, unlike some other humans he had came across. Kikyou was younger than him, he could tell. Besides she was human, she would be younger than him anyway.
"I... I wasn't scared."
He was scared and they both knew it. Maybe to a certain extent he was scared, but on some level he was. Kikyou wondered if there was something she could say. She had no intention on hurting him, she wasn't that type of person.
"Why were you alone Inuyasha?"
"I'm not alone. Why don't you mind your own buisness."
He was alone, and he knew it. Ever since his mother died he had no one. He hated to admit it, but he was indeed alone. But he just didn't realize that Kikyou was alone too. Maybe if he would have looked, it would have seen it. That she was only trying to be his friend.
"Yea, your right. Its really none of my buisness."
And without saying another word Kikyou walked off. He didn't realize she was gone at first, but soon followed after her. She was a very strange girl. Most people were afraid to walk in the forest. Mainly because he lived in it. But here she was acting as if it was nothing.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Not sure, it doesn't matter. Why do you care?"
Inuyasha looked taken aback. Of course he didn't care where she was going. It didn't matter to him, not one bit. Kikyou watched as his inu ears twitched on his head. It was a very cute sight. He watched as the young girl started laughing.
"Whats so funny?"
He didn't like being made fun off. Especially by some human girl.
"Your ears are so kawaii."
He opened his mouth wide as she played with his ears. He hated anyone making comments about his ears. And now here she was playing with them.
"No, they're not. Stop it."
She stopped and continued walking. Inuyasha didn't know why but he went after her. Kikyou could see that he was still following after her. He was alone, so was she. He had nothing, she had nothing. They were just two kids who had a lot in common.
"So you're not alone huh?"
"I'm not. I'm just bored." he mumbled.
Maybe that was true, maybe he didn't have anything better to do. But he didn't have to follow after her, unless he really was alone. Kikyou knew that he was, but he wouldn't admit. So she decided to just drop the subject all together.
"Kikyou?"
"Yes."
"Why are you even out here?"
"I wanted to feel free for a moment. And last time I checked it wasn't a crime to walk."
Free, from what he thought. What was she really going threw, he had no idea. And of course it didn't matter to him. He had his problems, she had her own. It was best that they didn't know each other. Besides he was a half demon, they shouldn't have friends.
Kikyou continued walking, with Inuyasha following after her. She began to wonder if he would ever stop following her. Not that it was a bad thing, she didn't think it was. Humans and half demons should be able to get along. She didn't see what the big issue was.
Inuyasha thought that Kikyou was really strange. Sure she was pretty, but she was different. She didn't seem to hate or fear him. Why was she so different he didn't know. And for some reason, he wanted to find out more.
She had interested him, this strange human girl. Little did he know she was interested in him too. The scared, alone, silver haired boy. Soon she turned to look at him, a bright smile on her face.
"Meet me here tomorrow."
"Why?" Inuyasha wondered.
"If your not alone, you wont come. But if you are alone like me, then you will come."
She smiled again, and then walked away. Inuyasha stood there watching her walk away, he wanted to say something. But couldn't think of anything to say.
"Goodbye Inuyasha." Kikyou called back.
Leaving him alone once more.
