~Izayoi's POV~

It seems like forever since I was home back in the present, but it has only been a couple of weeks. I wonder how grandma is doing? What about Uncle Sota? He wasn't too happy about me coming here to begin with, but on the bright side, he was wrong about my father … well kind of. In the end, he wasn't such a bad guy after all, now if only he weren't so mysterious about where he is and when I'd see him again. I feel like he's keeping something from me and it just makes me feel more paranoid than I should be.

It's been a couple of days since I shattered the Jewel of Four Souls. Akria managed to salvage a piece of it to bring me back to life for the second time and all I have to do is find the other three pieces. From what I was able to gather from rumors around the village, one shard flew in the direction of the ocean so that's our first stop. On a whole other story though, I haven't spoken to either Akira or Shippo since the incident the other day. It was just so awkward that I was avoiding them as much as possible. I'd rather be fighting demons that go through love issues right now.

It was a little past midnight now and I was sitting up on a branch of a tree watching the clouds pass the moon in the night sky. The moon was full and bright. It was surrounded by thousands and thousands of stars. I swung my legs back and forth as I hummed a lullaby grandma would sing to me.

"We set out tomorrow, shouldn't you be asleep?" Akira's voice rang out in the silence and practically scared the crap out of me. I looked down to see him smiling that cocky smile of his that made my heart flutter … but at that same time, I wanted to slap him. I felt my face turn red as I remembered what I had said to him when he was possessed. I told him I loved him. I turned away, trying to hide the bright color of my face with my long hair. I heard him smirk and next thing I knew, he was sitting next to me on the branch.

"You know, we haven't talked since the incident." He was sitting so close to me that I could literally feel my heart trying to jump out of my chest. "Look, about that time when we met. I kissed you to seal the deal as your protector. I'm sorry if I confused you, but after spending this time with you and after hearing you're feeling for me, I have to be honest with you. Izayoi I …" I was afraid of what he'd say, so I interrupted him.

"I get it; you don't have to say it. You were only sent by Sesshomaru to help protect me and that's it. I understand that you don't have the same feelings so you don't have to say it." I felt tears falling and I was about to jump down from the tree when Akira's hand gripped my shoulder and pinned me to the tree so I had no choice but to look him in the eyes.

"Would you let me finish? Izayoi, I love you. You're strong and funny." He stopped to chuckle slightly to himself, "and I like the way you're face changes colors when you're embarrassed." He stopped again and his face turned serious, "and when I was possessed by that strange demon and I … I hurt you, I hated myself for it and I only wished that it was me who was hurt and not you. I'm so sorry." It hurt me to see him like this. He looked so ashamed that he looked away from me. I smiled softly and reached over to cup his face with both my hands.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault." I practically whispered as we inched closer. I kissed him and next thing I knew, he had his arms around me, completely closing the space between us. Another tear escaped my closed eyes and slid down my cheek. After a moment, he pulled me away and then just held me close to him as another cloud passed the moon and we were engulfed in shadow. I was hoping that this moment would never end, but sooner or later, something always had to end.

I kept looking back at that dream I had the other night, the one with me standing in front of someone's grave. It could have been anyone's but I was scared that it was going to be someone close to me.

Crimzon: And well … that's it for now. I don't have much of an idea on how to continue so ima end this chapter here and I'll try my best to get off my lazy ass and add the next chapter. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
