I came back to my own time swiftly. My head didn't pound, well not as much as I had remembered it to be. Finally, I thought, My body really was adjusting to the time warps. My eyes were still closed and I had no desire to open them, I felt cool and calm laying in what felt like blankets over me. I was lying in the most comfortable bed I had ever laid on. Or was it a bed?
There was no sound, no disturbance, just peace and the faint smell of peaches dawned itself around the room I was in. The last I remembered the other time I came to, I was outside talking to Uruki. Uruki was a handsome man, One whom I bore much hatred. I had no reason to hate him, but it angered me how much he had of an influence over me.
After what seemed like hours of pondering in my own thoughts, I opened my eyes to a brightly lit room. It was the afternoon, I concluded and as the sunlight broke itself through the window pane, lights were still on illuminating the room with its florescence.
I was, in fact, lying upon a slightly large white sheeted bed with down comforters enveloping me. Everything was so clean and white, almost like a house would look like after someone had just moved in. There wasn't dust, it was all clean. The window curtains creased as if it had just been taken out of its package and hung up. A new room, A new house, and then I could smell the faint smell of newly opened cloth and other knickknacks. A house that was just moved in. Moved in.
It dawned me just what place I was at, at first my gut startled with fright. I knew where I was, I knew where I lye and I didn't dare long to stay. I knew who was just in the other room, possibly washing up for the upcoming plays. I sat upon a bed that the very man I despised owned, I looked upon a room that the man I hated lived in. I was in the home of Uruki, the new student who seemed to take an interest in me.
"Good afternoon, Misuzu." I looked upon the nicely dressed Uruki whom leaned against the doorway, watching me closely. He must have seen the fear in my eyes and he frowned in return. "Dear Misuzu, don't look like that." He pleaded and strolled into the room, walking straight to the window, pulling back its nicely hung curtain. His fingers trailed the smooth material as he did so. "As you might have guessed, This is my room. My house."
"I'm going home." I stated, and stood up from the bed, but felt that same headache as I stood up, and as a result I fell back down on the mattress. I needed more time to recover. In my head, I silently cursed my stupid body.
"Don't fret, Dear Misuzu." He turned around and faced me, his back now leaning upon the fine glass of the window pane. Bright afternoon light forced itself into the room, cutting out an outline shape of his body, showing its creation upon the new carpeted floor. "You gave me a scare back when you suddenly fainted in the middle of the sidewalk. Luckily, I was right next to you so I figured I'd take you here for the time being."
"Why couldn't you just take me home!" I practically screamed at him, sitting up while resting my hand upon my throbbing head. The pain seemed to cease, but wouldn't fully disappear.
"Pardon my attempts, Miss Ichiro, but I don't believe you have ever gave me your address." He smiled at this, crossing his finely muscled arms across his chest. He got me there and he knew I couldn't protest to his words. He was right, He didn't know where I lived so if I were in his position, I would have done the same thing.
I sighed and looked to the wall beside me, I couldn't stand to stare upon his flawless face. I should be thankful, I should be kissing his feet for not leaving me on the sidewalk. But to be honest, In a way I wished he would have.
"You look a bit pale... Are you feeling alright?" Uruki interrupted my thoughts with his kindness. I didn't buy it, Instead I shrugged and continued to stare at the wall as if it were the next interesting thing upon my mind. It wasn't, my mind was still full of the village and Inuyasha. About the Jewel and its disappearance.
Uruki sighed and pushed himself off the window and walked out of the room leaving me alone. I was thankful, but I knew he would come back in a matter of time. I wrung my knees closer to my chest and lay my chin upon them, I wanted to leave, but I still wasn't feeling all to well. I wondered why this feeling wouldn't go away. I could leave if this odd feeling would just cease.
"Here you go, this should help." Uruki entered the room with a glass cup of water. He walked over to me and set the drink upon the side table beside the bed. He smiled and urged me to drink it, I gave him a glare and looked at the glass cup.
"You didn't poison it did you?" I said sarcastically and cursed my body yet again because I really was thirsty and that water looked quite the quencher. He chuckled, Oh his powerful flawless, angelic chuckle. I was almost pulled in by his beauty, but I fought it.
"Of course not, Now drink up." He departed near the window again, forcing his back towards me, which in fact gave me a lot more privacy. He seemed to be stuck in his own world, gazing out the window. He looked just about lovable.
I shook the thoughts from my head and grasp the glass of water, gulping it down like a hungered child. The liquid slid down my throat like a craving and I finished it quickly, when I looked back up Uruki was still pondering about the window. He turned when the glass hit the table whenever I set the thing back down.
"Misuzu, I have something for you. No matter whether you want it or not, I want you to keep it alright?" Uruki finally broke the silence, walking over to a dresser. I watched him like a robber and pondered what he spoke about. He returned with a slightly large rectangular box, wrapping in a black paper. I gazed at it and he urged me to take it. "Come on, Please accept it. I don't ask for anything in return, just take it." He smiled and as if hypnotized to do what he said, I took the box and held it within my light grasp.
"Uruki..." I whispered his name as I tilted the box this way and that. I couldn't figure out what was inside, but I knew it was very delicate and must have cost a fortune.
"Go on, Open it." He watched me like an eager child giving its mother a gift he made himself. It made me smile as well, putting together such an analogy. I felt the bed go under upon his weight as he took a seat beside me on the bed. My fingers trailed the carefully wrapped present and as if it were the most delicate thing in the world, I slowly undid the tape that held it together. My heart was beating ever so rapidly and for a moment, I swore that my head stopped banging against my forehead. I felt fine and I lifted the wrap off the velvet box. I gasp, It was some type of jewelry, any girl would figure that clutching a velvet box. It was rectangular, so it must have been a necklace.
As if the present itself read my mind, when I tipped the top open there lie the most beautiful form of jewelry I had ever seen in my life. I gasp and gazed at its sparkling beauty. Diamonds encircled the necklace around like a chocker, and in the middle was the biggest pearl ever seen. It had a pink tint to it and made me absolutely speechless.
"I take it, You like it? I'm glad." Uruki whispered in my ear, I was to mesmerized by his gifts' beauty to even hear his very words. This necklace held more power over me then Uruki himself. Pleased, Uruki took the box from my hand and shushed me as I looked up at him like a puppy having its precious treat taken from him. He smiled and took the diamond necklace from the box, setting the box down on the bed. "Let me put it on you. Its stunning, just like your beautiful face." He complimented me.
"Uruki... I... I don't know what to say. Why? I mean..." He shushed me again and this time, I kept my mouth shut. Instead, I shifted my body so that my body faced him and he put his masculine hands upon my shoulders. My skin burned after his touch.
"This will make you look like a princess." He whispered and my skin tingled once the big necklace touched my neck, its beautiful large pearl right in the middle, emphasized my beauty. He smirked and leaned his chest closer to my back. For a moment, I couldn't breath, my mind went blank and my heart beat rapidly against my chest. Why? I thought, Why would he give me such a gift.
"But..." Uruki breathed a 'shush' in my ear, causing a deep blush to appear upon my cheeks. I wanted to just slap him hard in the face like Sango had to Miroku, but my body refused to do what I said. I wanted to get up and leave to the safety of my home, but I feared I would lose my way and collapse. I couldn't move, I was mesmerized and touched by Uruki and his gift.
"My dear dear Misuzu. Beautiful Misuzu." He began, running his tender lips upon my hear, tracing his hand upon my upper arms and shoulders. "You have great potential. You hold so much power, Misuzu. My gift to you, it is powerless now. Possibly, you should already know that." Uruki breathed, trailing his kisses down upon my neck, leave a hot path where his lips had just been. "You, My dearest, have the spirit to bring it back."
