 RamenKitty 11/26/03 . chapter 1 As always your language is exquisite. I particularly liked this:
Tears welled in beautiful, brown eyes as she backed away from him. "I'm going home! I don't need this. I just don't need this!"
The sullen mask on his features dissolved, revealing pained surprise. "Kagome! Wait..."
"Sit!" she cried, clenching her hands into fists, but taking none of the usual satisfaction from seeing his face slam into the hard ground. She sometimes wondered if his nose would ever break under the strain. She turned on her heel and stormed away, brushing past two exasperated young adults on the way.
"Really, Inuyasha," the young man said, twirling his staff in his hand. "Forgetting her name?"
"Calling her -Kikyou-?" the woman added, eyes narrowed. "She's got every right to go."
The man on the ground spat out a mouthful of dirt, tossed his white bangs, and snarled, "Just let her. Stupid bitch." There were times he truly regretted having hurt her, but his rage overpowered sweeter senses as soon as she forced him to submit. But he had overslept, had called her by the wrong name in sleep-muddled incoherence. And she had taken it personally. Inuyasha rubbed his face on his sleeve and glared into the condescending gazes of his companions.
Yes, twas a long passage-but worth reading. I can relate (As you know) to the "Sleep-muddled incoherence" part. cause that's usually my excuse for saying stupid things or making a mistake/ XP |
