Italic thoughts
…oOo…
Rays of sunlight crept into the room and shone on the sleeping girl. The sunlight was warm, maybe a bit too warm for her liking. Her eyes slowly opened and she surveyed the surroundings. She was sleeping in a bed and Sesshomaru was nowhere in sight.
"Maybe he left…"
Kikyou got down from bed and started walking around, trying to find the restroom. It was a Saturday and she did not have any plans yet for the day. Hurriedly, she washed up and changed into her usual home clothes. Just as she walked out of the restroom, something caught the corner of her eyes. Sesshomaru's diary was lying on the dressing table, untouched.
"Taking a look wouldn't hurt right?" filled with curiosity, she took the book in both her hands, "Furthermore, he's not here…"
Finally, unable to resist the temptation, she opened the book with care and started scanning through the pages. Each page was filled with his neat handwriting which made it easier to read, fast.
Tuesday (Rainy)
Dear diary,
It's raining today. I wonder if the rain will stop soon… I really want to visit mum. She died a few months back and I'm feeling very lonely now. It's my first time writing here so I hope that you will get to know me better. I feel lost now, they said that mum committed suicide but I saw her being killed by a guy. He was scary. My father died long time back ago… I remember my mum saying he died when I was two years old or something… Oh yes, I am now ten years old by the way. From now on I will be sharing more things about me. After all, you are my only friend now.
Sesshomaru
"Wow… talked about being parentless at such a young age… we are in the same boat." Kikyou continued reading.
Wednesday (Sunny)
Dear diary,
I managed to visit mum today! Plus, I gave her some of the daisies that could be found in the field. She said that she loved daisies as it is beautiful and refreshing. I prefer bellflowers…
Kikyou stopped at the sentence and re-read the words again. No doubt. Her name IS bellflower and Sesshomaru liked it. A slight blush came to her face. She flipped the pages somewhere towards the end and read again.
Saturday (Cloudy)
Dear diary,
There was the guy again! I wonder why is he here in the first place… it seems that he comes here everyday and worst still, to look at me. I am really bothered by it. Although I've turned into twenty one years old, it still couldn't be help but to feel uneasy when someone is spying on you.
Maybe I should approach him? Or maybe I should not… I hope he's not dangerous.
Sesshomaru
She skipped a few more days to the last entry.
Monday (Thunderstorm)
Dear diary,
I shouldn't have invited that guy in. He asked me about my past and we started talking. Until when it's finally time to go, he suddenly turned to me and stabbed me with a knife in my stomach. He then laughed and mumbled something about getting rid of the last family member before walking away. I realized he was the one who killed my mum. I swear I'm going to get my revenge even if it means turning into a vampire and hunting him down. I afraid I can't hold any longer, the pain in my abdomen was too great. This may be the last time I'm writing here… Thanks for being my friend all these while. Goodbye.
Sess-
Without completing his name, there was a blotch of blood just lying underneath his entry. Kikyou started trembling and closed the book. "That's how he became a vampire…"
She hastily put the book back where it belonged and ran out of the door, to be met by Sesshomaru's chest. Se hit squarely in his chest as his hands held her waist, supporting her.
"You okay? You look kinda pale…" He asked, with a hint of concern.
"I'm alright… Where have you been?"
"Is that why you were so worried? I never knew you have those kind of feelings for me…" he smirked.
"Shut up and answer me the question!"
"I went… to visit my mother…"
There was silence between the two of them. She suddenly felt guilty for asking that question. His eyes were now downcast as his silver locks fell over his sides.
"I-I'm sorry for bring that up… I didn't know you were that sensitive…"
"Never mind, it's not your fault anyway…"
There was a second round of pause. Each of them not knowing what to speak.
Well… you want to go out? It's a weekend today." Kikyou said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
"Sounds fine…"
"WAIT! No merging into shadows this time! You are going to get into the sunlight today." She smiled playfully, "So go put on some decent clothing now."
"You're joking right?"
"No."
"… Fine."
After a few minutes, he got out, wearing a grey turtleneck and jeans. Kikyou almost wiped the drool at the corner of her mouth. He looked fantastic! Although simple, but really fitting on him.
"What are you gaping at?"
"I thought you would not have any clothes to wear…"
"These are clothes that were left here long time back. It had only been around two hundred years so I don't think I'm losing any fashion here."
Kikyou tried hard not to giggle as she covered her mouth with her hands. She was wearing a white sleeveless top with a brown three-quarter pants. Look simple enough too.
"Let's go then!"
…oOo…
The girl tried her best not to laugh out loud ending up choking herself. She had been watching Sesshomaru trying to eat ice-cream and well… things started to get interesting.
First, when Kikyou passed the ice-cream to him, all he could do was to stared at the cone as if it was some alien food from outer space. If looks could emit heat waves, the ice-cream would have been melted away by now. Kikyou licked her ice-cream, at the same time asking Sesshomaru to follow her actions. Still having doubts, he stick out his tongue and let it merely touched the surface.
"Maybe he like sweet stuffs…" Kikyou giggled as she watched the vampire starting to enjoy the dessert in his hand. It was really fun going out with him, although with a few complaining and threatening to suck her dry…
Unknowingly to them, two pairs of eyes were observing their every move.
"I see, I see… another person holding a grudge… maybe things will get interesting, especially with that girl around…" Bankoutsu smirked as he turned to his partner who was busy typing away on his laptop.
"According to the data we have, this vampire's mother was being killed by some guy. He is out to seek revenge for him." Jankoutsu read out the details and type some more. He finished the last word and pressed 'Enter' before the page navigated to another one, with a picture of Kikyou.
"It is interesting after all… Currently going out with the person he had always wanted to kill… Should we side the girl or the vampire this round? It seems that both parties are not at fault."
Jankoutsu said nothing. He continued his work at the same time keeping the two in sight. He and Bankoutsu are specialists in vampires. Their jobs were to make sure that the vampires will be able to leave the world in peace, by helping them with their grudge. But if the vampire was the one at fault, they would eliminate it. That's their job.
"Keep following them and gather as many data as possible."
…o0o…
It was really fun to go out with Kikyou, which Sesshomaru had to agree. He experienced things that are way beyond his imagination. Like he learnt that vending machines need coins for it to work and definitely not by sticking an arm inside and digging out what you wanted. That incident almost got his hand stuck in that freaking machine and he felt like heaving the thing and smash it on the ground.
Both of them walked home or rather the half broken mansion or castle whatever you call it… they did not want the day to be over, they had so much fun… Unfortunately, time wait for no man, it was already eleven in the night.
They walked along the pavement as the lights from the roadside lamps shone on them. There was silence between the both of them, but it was a comfortable silence, not an awkward one. Kikyou gave a sigh, earning a questioning look from company.
"What's the matter?"
"Oh… nothing, it's just that it have been such a long time since I have so much fun in a day…"
"I can see that, especially after seeing how your sister dumps you."
"…"
Kikyou slightly winced at the painful truth. Her sister sacrificed her living place for her boyfriend. Not for long, they reached their destination and both of them walked into the house.
"Kikyou, thanks for today, I really had a fun time with you."
"It' really uncomfortable to stay in the house all day long… so maybe it would be better to go out and enjoy yourself for a moment." Kikyou smiled and walked past Sesshomaru.
"Kikyou…" Before he could say anything further, the girl turned around and came face to face with him.
"Yes?"
"Well… its just that, I've been getting this feeling… it was almost the same when my mother was around, but it's different… it really felt special…" Sesshomaru said it with full sincerity in his eyes, "Its really have been a long time ever since I felt this way."
Kikyou gasped. To her, it was the same as confessing his love. It shocked her at first but soon cleared away when she felt his lips on hers. It was only for a short moment, he broke the kiss a few seconds after when their lips met. Kikyou's mind was still in confusion. He declared his love for her and now he is kissing her?
Right outside, Bankoutsu and Jankoutsu were watching them (I'm surprise that they actually followed this far). They admitted that they were too surprise at that action.
"Things really had gotten so interesting…" Bankoutsu said as he looked over to Jankoutsu, "Should we pay them a visit?"
"I think it would be better if we just consult the girl alone and not let the vampire know of our identity."
"Yea…"
"Problem now is, how are we going to do it? They seemed inseparable."
"Someone's approaching the door… I go take a look; you continue to hear what they are saying, oh and record it down too."
With a nod as an answer, Bankoutsu went to the front door, making sure he was hidden from view and peeked at the late visitor. One of them was a girl, striking resemblance to Kikyou. She lifted up her hand and knocked on the door.
The door was soon opened by Kikyou herself and she stared at the person right in front of her… it was, Kagome. Her boyfriend, Inuyasha, was nowhere in sight.
"What are you doing here?" Kikyou asked coldly, so cold that it could freeze the lake in summer. Sesshomaru was standing behind her, as he scrutinized Kagome from head to toe.
"It's the same person who dumped Kikyou here."
"Kikyou… it's just that, I know I am in the wrong… I was wrong to chase you out like that." Her eyes showing the presence of guiltiness, "I'm sorry, can you come back?"
"Kagome, you know that it's impossible to do that especially after what YOU have done to me. And I don't see the need of coming back since you already have your boyfriend living with you…"
"PLEASE KIKYOU! I'm really sorry! I broke off with him which then made me realized how lonely the house had became. I really miss you, sister."
That was the first time ever that she had ever called her by the term, 'sister'. Kikyou's eyes softened and looked at her swollen eyes. "She had been crying…"
"But how do you know I am staying here? I didn't remember telling you…"
"I saw you and him… you two… and I followed you here." She pointed to Sesshomaru at the back, "Are you coming back?"
"Well…"
"Please Kikyou, I'm really sorry."
"But Sesshomaru…"
"Go ahead, Kikyou." The man spoke finally, "She had apologized."
A sharp pain shot through her heart. She did not want to leave Sesshomaru. But Kagome is her sister… it would be too heartless to leave her. Furthermore, he had confessed to her, does he really want to let her go? Kikyou was unsure which side to take.
"Go on, Kikyou…" Sesshomaru pushed her outside before slamming the door harshly behind her. She turned around, and looked at the door which was staring right back at her. She bit her lips to control the emotions that were raging in her like a wild fire.
"So in the end he chose to leave me… if he wants it that way, two can play the game…"
She walked away with Kagome. Unknown to her, Sesshomaru was leaning against the door (from the inside). He himself could not bear to leave Kikyou. He had no choice. After all, he is an avenger. After he gotten his revenge, he will just disappear from the Earth's surface. He had to let her go eventually…
A tear started forming at the edges of his golden eyes before sliding down. He had to let go still…
…o0o…
Crisscrossanime: YAY! I'm done with this chapter! Now back to the slacking mode again…
