Pain

Chapter 42

Prompt: Soundtrack Challenge, “Black Tears.”

Kikyo cried, feeling her heart break as she looked at Inuyasha with tear filled eyes. “Don’t you want me anymore, Inuyasha?” She asked, her lip trembling.

“You used me, Kikyo. You only wanted to hurt Kagome, and it killed me in the process. I need to get away from all of this,” He said, his faith unwavering. “It’s over between us, whatever we had.” He went to stand up, but Kikyo caught his wrist.

“You can’t say that! After all we’ve been through… she’s found someone else, so there’s nothing stopping us, now!” She said, begging him, pleading him to stay.

“You don’t get it!” He said, pulling his arm away. “You hurt me, and Kagome! I was too stupid to see it before.” His eyes took on a saddened look, before turning back to hers. “I lost everything, but she still forgave me. I’m moving on, and so should you.”

He left. He didn’t give her any time to say anything else. She fell to the ground, her sobs breaking her body. She hadn’t realized how she loved him until he was gone. She should have never broken him, and now she would pay for it.

Selfishly, she wished Kagome had never been born, if only for her to have Inuyasha first, and been his only. She wanted him, more than anything she had wanted before, and she saw now that it wasn’t just because Kagome had him first.

He was going to find his own happy ever after. Standing, she let the tears fall from her eyes freely, as she made her own path. He could do it, and so could she.

Even if it would kill her, she would hide her pain. She wanted it to go away. She hid from the world, waiting for redemption.

A man held his hand to her, asking if she was alright. She sobbed, taking it, and the shoulder he leaned on.

“Hello, are you alright? Let me help you,” he said, taking a handkerchief out of his pocket. “I'm Suikotsu.”

“Kikyo,” she said, taking the offered cloth from him. He smiled back at her, causing her to blush.

“Well, you should not cry. A woman as beautiful as you should not cry, yes?” He joked, and Kikyo smiled softly to him.

“No, I suppose you’re right… Suikotsu.”

Don’t worry! I don’t have a vengeful plot anymore with Kikyo, she’s going to find her happy ever after now! 

A/N: I changed the character to Suikotsu, seeing as it would fit better. I had totally forgotten about him!
