Word Count: 223
Rating: G
Warnings: Angst
Kagome sat on a wooden bench in the center of a garden. Koi glided through their pond, oblivious to the world around them. Cherry blossoms fell, pulled from their branches by the gentle breeze, landing softly on the water’s surface. It was peaceful here; a perfect spring day, though Kagome didn’t notice any of it. She was lost in her thoughts, her misery, just as she had been for the past three days. She hadn’t eaten and barely slept. Today was her first time outside and it was only at Sesshomaru’s insistence. He had carried her out here, telling her she would feel better if she got out of their room for a while. He understood her grief, he felt it himself, but seeing her this way…it killed him, knowing he was responsible. Kagome would hear none of that however, laying the blame solely on herself, and that too tore out his heart. They’d been warned of course that this could happen, was likely to happen even, but they were both naïve to the reality of the situation until the tragedy actually happened. Inuyasha was proof that it was possible; hanyous were born every day. Those hollow words did little to ease the heartache though. It was the loss of their first child; no words could fill the void that was left behind.
