Poison & Wine

~ Chapter One~

Poison

By Inuyashas Youkai

~ I do not own Inuyasha , by Rumiko Takahashi , nor the song Poison & Wine By Civil War , for which I used the lyrics for this story , as I was listening to it , while it was being written ~

'You only know what I want you too'

Standing , panting ,as he now stood frozen immediately stilled from the brisk run to chase after the girl ,only just ahead of him with the scent of salt billowing behind her in the breeze, with the said girl presently ceased all movements abruptly and currently ,seemingly cradled herself amongst the roots of Goshingboku.

' Your mouth is poison , your mouth is wine '

Tears flowed down her cheeks seen from his amber eye, as he tried to remain hidden within himself so that he wouldn't have to feel his heart break when seeing her like this, but it couldn't be helped. The wind wind whipping around , tossing her inky locks as though as it were caused on her own accord felt by her now plagued emotions. Finding the will to seek her, the male in front of the distraut woman soon met her pained , chocolate eyes as she too looked to his , the salt cascading down her orbs to her now broken soul ,soon passed over her rippened ,red lips.

' Oh I don't love you, but I always will..'

Finding that his body wouldn't move forward , later discovered his mind caused him to force his body to defeatedly remain still , forcing himself to painfully watch , without escape or reprieve. Actions played out , words thown from pursed lips , had brought them here , to this very spot , and within this abrupt turn in the road to what they thought they knew. The moments leading up to where they were now, breaking forth like a hovering blackened cload only waiting for the moment then without warning , to suddenly crash down upon them ,as a tidalwave , when everything came to a screaming halt.

'The less I give , the more I get back ..'

Everything came down to this moment , what direction they took now would forever decide whether each one would either leave alone: ignored, remain as they were, or just leave separately, with things unanswered, hanyou couldn't stand to do the latter , for the too fragile looking miko in front of him still meant to much too him to let go, and knew that she wouldn't do the one's given prior.

' I don't have a choice, but I still choose you '

So , given the choice there was only one thing Inuyasha could do , breathing a shuddered sigh , starting to walk, but with the strong aura almost turning black ,and coming from the girl , weakened him. This soon , causing him to fall to his knees , crawling over to the still shaken with sobs miko , drowing in the emmense sorrow , and subdued by them , as she leaned faintly against the trunk .

' I don't love you , but I always will '

Leaning next to her body close , only soon laying his forhead against her's, while her hand uncontrolably seemed to twitch , lifting into the air, as if to silently give motions towards him to pause, but his stubborness wouldn't have it end , and like this, that is if he could help it. A whispered whine came from deep within his throat , while closing his eye's lightly , as his face fell , and his ears soon followed.

"Kagome.."

Cautiously opening his eyes to seek her's , as the hanyou then leaned forward once she knew his unswayed intent , noticing that she didn't shy away , rejecting him, and closed the distance between them , until his lips protectively coveted her's, taking them captive. For Kagome, his taken mate, regardless of the circumstances of how, why, or when , even disregarding his past love long past, she was still his. Once the short , but sweet kiss came to a close , and soon locked their sight of their eyes , with her chin held in the palm of his hand, shyly forced the unspoken words from his lips.

"I always will"
