Another story to start! I know I should be updating the others but this one was already done! This well be a Sesshomaru/Kagome pairing! I hope you enjoy. Disclaimer: I Don't own anything.
The sun began to fade into the horizon, over the crystal blue sea, as the clouds crumbled together in purple and pink, as the peak of the rays of sun fell.
A young woman sat on the wooden bench, staring onwards. Many thoughts running threw her head, her body shivered from the slight cold breeze as the sun began to set. Her small figure sat straight, as her gloved hands were folded in her lap.
She knew where this was leading, but for some reason she didn't want it to end. Closing her eyes, silencing her mind for a few seconds, she then turned to stare at the man that sat next to her.
As handsome as any man can be, he stood tall even while in a seated position. His structured face, amber eyes, and moonlight hair, gazing towards the beautiful scenery. Even thou she was not able to see his eyes, she could tell from his tense body, that he was debating himself.
Getting up from her position, she glanced back at the handsome man. "There really isn't anything else to speak of is there." The silence was her only answer, turning away from him, taking the first step, she felt someone grab her hand.
"It was the past," his hand began to tremble, as he spoke.
"Then why not speak of it." She asked as she tried to pray her hand away from him.
But his grip tightened, and his eyes harden. "There was nothing to speak about."
Kagome stood still, studying his face, "What about her?" She asked again, this time in a more forward tone. She felt him loosening his hold on her, as she backed away, she found him staring at the ground.
"What is there to say about her," he said quietly, "She is the past, a distant memory, which I don't really remember."
She knew he was lying, she was able to tell by the tremble of his shoulders, and the grip of his free hand, as he clinched it in a tight grip. She didn't know what she was able to do, how to react to this. He was in pain even from the past, and she understood, she knew how it was to feel useless. But she wanted him to lean on her, to let her help him in any form possible, even if it was just a little. She wanted a future with this beautiful man.
"Why continue to lie to yourself, when your body seems to be responding for you." She asked him, as he continued to stare at the ground. He then stood tall, and began to walk away from her.
"Tell me" she said while following the handsome man, "Tell me about her."
He stopped in his tracks, as he spun around.
"What is there to tell, she came into my life, we got married, she died, end of story." His voice was laces with such coldness, and emotion. He said with rage, as he glared at the petite woman in front of him.
Kagome grabbed the edge of his jacket, while moving towards him. "That obviously isn't the story," softly she took the over grown man into her short arms, and held him. "Tell me," she asked again.
Memories that he long buried within his mind began to surface.
The brown eyed beautiful woman as she pounced around him, while running threw the open grass bare footed. The way she swayed while dancing, and her rich laughter that was music to his ears. The way she would lay her head on his bare chest to heart his fainting heart, which always put her to sleep. The feel of her skin, her scent of lavender, after she took a shower. Images of their first encounter, their first kiss, then their wedding.
Then the memory of their last night together.
Her long dark brown hair fell over her front, as her back was pressed against the front passenger seat. He stared at her from the corner of his eyes, she was glaring at the road as he continued to drive. As he heard the voice continuing to talk from the mobile, he stared straight ahead, making sounds of yes or no to the person.
Then all of a sudden the piece of cell was token from his ear and tossed out the window by his beautiful wife.
Shock written all over his face, he yelled. "Woman what is your problem."
"You are Sesshomaru," she choked out as her chocolate eyes began to water, "One fricking night I ask for just the two of us to spend time and all you do is talk on the phone about business." She screamed at him. "I hardly complain, and you yourself know that." She had a point, he told himself, she rarely ever complained about anything which is one thing he loved about her. "But tonight did it," as she rolled the window of the car up so that she was able to talk better with out the sound of the wind passing by.
"Today I was going to tell you something," he waited for her to continue. It seemed as if she was taking her time to speak. "I'm pregnant." she said while looking away from him.
His mind became blank, he didn't know what to think, say or do. Here he was in a car with his wife, and she just told him some big news. Something that was joyous. His eyes began to soften and he stared at her with emotions.
She stared into his eyes, and found herself smiling, seeing the expression he gave her. The love that she felt for her husband reflected in her gaze. She took his hand into hers, and she felt the warmth that he held.
As they both returned their eyes towards the road, he heard her loud scream, and then everything went by in flash.
Sesshomaru pulled Kagome into his arms, tighter then ever before. He trembled, as he let the drops of water fall from his closed eyes.
She felt the cold liquid fall on her bare shoulder, as he buried his face into her hair. She felt the grief he held for so long, as the once great man he was, now finally letting the past catch up to him, in a way that seemed to be unbearable.
She felt him lean towards her form some more, as if putting more of his weight on her. His warm body began to tremble a bit, and she wondered what he was thinking.
" I didn't tell her," he said softly, as he wrapped his arms around her.
" There was so much to tell her, so much to say." Kagome held him.
"How I miss the smell of her cooking in the morning. Or the way she would kiss me goodbye before I headed out towards work. The way she would whisper my name in her sleep. Or the way she expressed her love for me."
This strong man was now whimpering, trembling, and sobbing.
"How I wish I could take that day back, and tell her how much I love her." He then said something that broke her heart. "How I wish She was you. To live, to be here with me, I'm nothing with out her."
Kagome's heart did not know what to make of what Sesshomaru just said. He held onto her tighter, trying to mend her into himself.
"Gomen" was all he could say, as he felt the woman still in his arms.
Kagomes mind did not know how to register what he just said. So much emotions began to make its toll on her, as the rim of her eyes began to water, and she knew, she knew that it was time. Time to give up the one man she had ever loved in her whole life.
With so much resistance, she pulled from his embrace, as she felt the warmth of the man she loved leave from her touch. There was only one thing to do, and that was to move forward. Obvious this man was an always will be stuck in his past. Locked in his heart, where not even she would be able to reach. Until the day he himself came to a realization. That he was not alone.
"Don't apologize," she said, pleadingly. She stared forward, never starring back, crystal water still falling from her eyes as her precious heart broke. Looking now into the mid night sky.
Glinting in the moonlight night, he found her radiant, and beautiful.
She began to walk away, "You have no reason to apologize when all you spoke of was the truth." Stopping a short distant from him, she turned around and gave him a smile. "I'm just glad to have had you even if it was a short time." She turned back the other direction, away from him, and walked with her head held high, and did not hesitate as she left him.
She knew he would not follow, why would he when the one he wanted was beyond his reach.
