My Beloved (In Jakotsu's point of view)
The morning air is sweet today. This is the perfect time to walk around a little, the others are still asleep. The grass's dew scrubs the mushy ground's dirt from the bottom of my feet and between my toes, as my mind wanders a different path. I now have time to reflect on my reason for life. Why do I live again? I have already died once. Why can't Naraku kill Inuyasha himself? Is he chicken or something?
Inuyasha...
Damn he's sexy... I would give everything just to pinch his ears, to caress his strong body... to touch his skin... to glide my fingers through his silky hair, and... ah! If only he wasn't with that wench of a woman, Kagome. Thoughts on that hanyou make my face match his kimono... his kimono smells good...
"You look very happy today." said a voice from behind me.. Or was it beside me...
"Who's there?" I asked the voice, hoping it wasn't all in my head. I then felt something tug at the bottom of my kimono. I looked down to see an elf demon staring back at me. He was about half my size, had pointy little ears, green curly hair that practically hid his hazel eyes. He had the strangest little outfit too, but so cute! He had a cute brown outfit with cuffs at the sleeves... he was just adorable... but not as adorable as my beloved Inuyasha.
"Why do you sulk so suddenly?" asked the elf demon.
"I was just thinking..." I replied.
"What of?" Asked the elf demon curiously.
"My beloved."
"Why does that make you sad? You seemed happy when I first ran into you."
"I just realized that I can never have my beloved... he's is in love with someone else... that wench... that woman... how can people like such hideous creatures."
"I see. Well, women aren't that bad with proper training----." Said the elf demon.
"You mean I'll have to kill you too?" Geez! Why do all the cute ones like women?
"Thanks for cutting me off. By the way, I'm Nikoru. What's your name?"
"Jakotsu." I was ready to draw my sword.
"Of the Band of Seven?" Asked Nikoru as fear ignited in his eyes.
"Yeppers, that's me! Got a problem with that?"
"Nope... can I ask you something? Why do you and the Band of Seven kill so much innocent people?" Asked Nikoru.
"My brothers kill for the fun of it... I kill and kill and will kill and kill until I find the one that is for me, and only me." I tightened my fists "And that is why I must kill Inuyasha."
"I understand..." he understood... no one has ever understood me before. "why do you chase after people who want nothing of you? Wouldn't it be easier not to dwell on the one you cannot have?" Said Nikoru. A single tear flew from his eye and joined the dew drops' party.
"Why do you say that? Isn't it easier to find someone by the process of elimination?"
"Not when the one you're searching for has already been eliminated... my beloved was killed two years ago." Said Nikoru as his head bent down. I finally understood what he meant. Maybe I should stop chasing my beloved around. I should stop wasting my time on someone that doesn't want to waste time on me.
For all I know, my beloved could be standing right in front of me.
well, I would now like to know what you think of this. come on, don't be scared and review. if you don't I'll send Jakotsu down to rape you... muahahahaha! (smiles)
