InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Miko's Sorrow ❯ A Waiting Heart ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha! However, I do own Nekoa, my cute little kitty half demon. Nope. If I owned Inuyasha, there'd be too much publicity for me to handle.

Chapter 1: A Waiting Heart

I sat there waiting again, the Shikon no Tama hanging around my neck. It has passed a good seven years, and still, I have not been freed from my burden.

Still, I can't help but believe that someone will come for me. Someone who loves me enough to make their own sacrifice to be with me.

It had been another uneventful day. Demons still lusted after the power of the Sacred Jewel, hanging around my neck. Some of them which had escaped my arrows before, and returned to steal the priceless gem. I'm beginning to give up hope. Protecting this jewel. I know one day, my life will be taken from me, trying to save it.

Still, that's what I'm here for.

My one purpose is to protect this jewel. It may be even more important than my entire village. It's more important than my own life, to protect it.

After all, should it fall into a pair of greedy, malicious hands, it could destroy all life. Yes, this Sacred Jewel could do this, and so much worse.

There is only one way I can be freed of my burden.

Someone must make a wish on this jewel. It must not be a wish of evil though, a must be a wish for good. It must also be made by someone with a pure heart. Sometimes, I just hope that I could have made a wish upon the jewel.

No, that would be for greedy purposes. Besides, I am only here to purify the jewel, not use it.

Maybe there is a hope for me after all.

I have noticed a hanyou following me around constantly, though I know not why. Could it be that this half-breed has feelings for me? Perhaps he is just here for the jewel too. I know not the hanyou's name, but he seems to have a pure heart. Although he has tried to steal the jewel a few times, he has never succeeded.

He gets as far as the Goshinboku, but he fails, and I allow him to go free.

I do not know why, but this half-breed reminds me of myself in a way. He seems so depressed. We have so much in common with each other. I just don't have the heart to kill him. How can I have a heart though? I don't even possess feelings anymore.

This half-breed is beginning to teach me feelings all over again. Could this be love? No, I cannot possibly love. But, just maybe I could. Maybe this hanyou, Inuyasha, could be the true one for me.
