♥Gysophillia

Misstress Hanako

Prologue: I knew from the very beginning that she was your rose. That the only thing you saw in me was her. And I was still tempted by your deepest touches. My unrequited love for you grew more as I got to know you. You couldn't have her, so in the end you chose someone who did look like that perfect woman you dream so heavenly about. I am and will always be that baby's breath that accompies the beautiful rose, to get the roses's undivided attention. You only see me as a filler and I will not let that happen anymore. I won't be that person that is your originated rose, for she is with someone else. I won't be anymore...from this day forward...

Flower of the chapter: Iris - a flower that is so beautiful to look at but only good for one season...spring.

Kagome sat on the bench that was hanging swiftly from the incredibly large cherry blossom tree that was rooted a few yards away from her school. Her eyes staring up at the clouds that drifts above her and for a moment, she looks like she is in deep thought. Breaking out of her trance, her wanderous eyes finds a musculine figure approaching her, slowly. It was him. The significant other in her life...well who she believes to be her significant other. Really, she knew that he was only with her because she looked alot like her cousin, Kikyo. Kikyo was his originated rose. Within the next few moments, he stood infront of her, smiling childishly.

"Hey, Kagome." He spoke, voice full of strength and dominance. Kagome looked up at him and smiled weakly before answering.

"Hi, InuYasha..." She replied, sounding tired. InuYasha sat down besides her and looked like he was gleaming. This got Kagome curious. "Why are you so happy today?"

He turned to her almost like he forgot she was besides him. His cheeks swelling up in a tint of pink."Oh, nothing." Trying to act casual.

"Really? Is it of Kikyo or something?" Kagome blurted out, unintentionally. InuYasha turns to her, wide-eyed and a bit speechless.

"Uh, yeah...she just waved to me." He admitted, not knowing what to say.

Kagome turned away, knowing that all was on his mind was Kikyo. She felt jealousy towards Kikyo, but she also couldn't. This would make her seem like the antagonist and she didn't want to feel like there was a protagonist nor an antagonist. Everything was neutral to her part and she wasn't going to come up with conclusions, though she really did want this to be over with. Her face heated up, thinking even more than usual. She turned towards InuYasha, face scrunched up and unable to keep posture any longer.

"Tell me, InuYasha...why does your face lit up like a star at night when you see Kikyo waving only." Kagome asked abruptedly. InuYasha didn't know what to say. To be honest, if someone was asked that question and that someone was the "lover," what would be the reply? ...silence.

"I...don't know. I just feel important for once." He tried thinking fast. Kagome's heart sunk.

"You feel important that someone popular only waved to you?" Kagome asked and he nodded vigorously."Shouldn't you feel important to have me in your life?" This caught him off-guard. How can he reply to that? Or even answer...

"Of course it does---!!"

"No it doesn't! Stop lying to me, InuYasha!! I'm tired of this! You don't even care that I exists in your life, do you?! I can't keep holding up with you!!" Kagome interupted him.

She got off the bench and stomped towards the south of the direction InuYasha was sitting. He quickly got up and followed her. This is not what is suppose to be happening. She should understand he is still a bit young and doesn't know but to be tempted. Freshmen year could be hard and uneasy for any one. Kagome was making this even more difficult.

"Kagome!!" He shouted after her. "Please, hear me out!!"

Kagome turned her body towards him quickly and waited for an explanation. He went quiet and she felt tired. Tired of dealing with this crap all the time. She didn't know what to say to him anymore. Or how she felt about him anymore.

"Well?!" She waited impatiently.

"Let's not end it this way. I didn't mean to make you feel unimportant. You are one of the only people in my life that I care truely about!" Somehow, InuYasha can taste a sour bitterness at the end of his tongue, yet he didn't know what it was.

Kagome smiled sadly and felt persuaded, but she didn't want to leave him. She cared for him too much to let him go...not yet. Tolerance was all she needed with him and if she can handle him liking Kikyo, she can handle his wandering mind and idiotic reactions.

Seeing that she was convinced, he opened up his arm wide for her to enter. And reluctantly she did. Yet somehow, she felt burnt when she touched him. Like his heart didn't belong to her like her's did his. She ignored this burn pressure and cuddled in. InuYasha felt that feeling too, except that it wasn't the feeling that he had hoped for. A warmth, more like an acid arising as he felt Kagome's presence near him. Like his heart wouldn't accept her.

Kagome somehow unconditionally read InuYasha's mind and a strange feeling came to her conclusions...used for only that moment.
