"A Love to Remember"
Sorry for the wait, but it had to be done…but I hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 10: Beautiful
Unknown POV:
I didn't mean to hurt her. I just couldn't help myself. She'll probably never forgive me. I lied to her.
I just hope that she can find it deep down in her heart to forgive me, even if she finds love in another man's arms.
I'll always find love in her name...Kagome.
------------------------ ---------------End---------------------------------------------------
Regular POV:
They just stared at each other. One didn't know what to say, and the other afraid of what to say. They gazed at each other's eyes, mouth, and face.
"Sesshomaru, tell me the truth, please," said Kagome, finally breaking the awkward silence. Her voice was steady, but if you looked in her eyes, you could see that they held unshed tears.
Sesshomaru sighed, and looked away from her. He couldn't bear to see her eyes, nor could he bear the fact that the sadness that radiated off her was cause by him.
"I am a youki, Inu-youki to be exact. My father is also, well, my whole family is Inu-youki, except for Inuyasha, who is hanyu, and his mother, who is human," he said, still avoiding her gaze.
Kagome didn't really know what to say to this. How could she not have notice before? All the times that he just 'o so smelt the food in her locker while they went to lunch' or his platinum hair.
Thinking that her silence was a sign of rejection, Sesshomaru walked out of the bathroom and walk slowly and silently to his bedroom, and locked the door. He looked into the mirror and stared at his reflection. He couldn't stand it. The one thing that he swore he wouldn't do to Kagome, which was hurting and lying to her, he, did it. Rage, anger, and shame were all he needed to punch his reflection, which just happened to be the mirror.
A slight twinge of pain was felt in his right fist, but the most pain was felt in his heart. Upon hearing the shattering noise, Kagome ran towards his room. Finding it locked she banged on the door and yelled for him to let her in.
"Sesshomaru! Let me in now, lets talk about this, I-I didn't mean for you to leave without me saying something to you first! Please!" Kagome begged him as she banged on his bedroom door.
He turned slowly to the door, as if he were afraid of what was on the other side of it. Then, he walked cautiously towards it. Sesshomaru opened it, and he saw Kagome standing there with a look of concern on her face.
"Sesshomaru, I understand that you are different, very different. But that is what I love most about you!" Kagome said as she stepped into his room and grasped his face in between her hands. Love shinning in her eyes was all he needed to see, to know that he was loved.
A sigh escaped his lips. He knew he was loved, not just a loved from family, but a different kind of love from a special someone.
……………….2 Days later………………..
Mondays. Oh I how I dread Mondays! Kagome thought. But at least she wouldn't be alone. She had her "Sessho" with her and all. But what she really was worried about was facing them.
What they did, or tried to do, would be or is very hard to facing. (Confusing enough?)
Walking hand-in-hand, Sesshomaru and Kagome walked the halls of what is known as "Riverdale High School", but to then it is known as "High School Hell for Teens".
"Kagome, nothing is going to happen, I promise you," Sesshomaru whispered in her ear huskily, while wrapping an arm around her waste.
"I know, it's just hard, you know. It's like facing a fear that eats at you until you're nothing." Kagome replied as she gave a shadow of a smile back to him.
After Sesshomaru let Kagome in his room, they had a long talk. They talked about their likes, dislikes, fears, plainly, they got to know each other a lot better. Sesshomaru found out that Kagome loves dogs and penguins, but hates snakes and sharks with a passion. Kagome found out that Sessho loves swimming, but hates getting his hair wet, ironic right?
They even talked about their dreams, and visions. Kagome informed Sesshomaru of her encounter with his father, and her dreams, if you will call then that, she has been having.
He told her, "Those are more than just dreams Kagome. Those are real life events that you have seen. I think there is more to you than we both know. You see, Satsu was a very, very powerful miko. She could make things vanish into thin air without even uttering a single word. Legend has it, that her powers came from her emotions. But after hearing what you told me. It seems that she didn't receive her powers until a while after, she and Inuyasha split up."
What he said to her, made her really think. Lord Inutasho said that the past was repeating itself, so then would it repeat again in her lifetime? Or better yet, would history repeat itself in her life?
They accompanied each other to their lockers, and since Kagome's was the farthest, they went to hers first. On her locker, Kagome found an envelope attached to the locker by a piece of tape. Shrugging her shoulders, and getting a reassuring nod from Sesshomaru, Kagome opened the letter.
Inside was a picture of a model in Victoria Secret lingerie with Kagome's face put on it, and it read "Virgin, or a Prostitute?" Tears that she tried so hard to keep at bay started to fall, 'how could someone do something like this? What did I do to deserve this?' Kagome thought as she sought comfort in Sesshomaru's loving embrace.
Hatred filled Sesshomaru as he saw the picture. He knew exactly who did this. But why would they do this to Kagome? She is a very special and sweet person. She helped people that she didn't even know or people that didn't deserve her kindness. Sometimes, he thinks she is to nice for her own safety, but she forgave him and accepted him for who he is. So, how could he get mad at her kindness?
---------------------------------Skips-----------------------------------
School went by pretty much uneventful, except the locker incident. After school, Sesshomaru took Kagome to the city park.
The scenery was beautiful. There were two lakes, on was for fishing, sailing, and the other one was only for swimming. The one that was only for swimming was called 'Lover's Lake'.
"Sessho?" Kagome said as she and Sesshomaru walked along the trail around 'Lover's Lake'.
"Hmm?" He replied taking a sideways glance at her.
"Um, why is this lake called 'Lover's Lake'? What is so special about this one?" Kagome asked him as they stopped under a Sakura blossom tree.
"The two owners of this lake are related. One is a male, brother, and the other is a female, sister. They are twins, and where conceived on the shore of the lake. Then after their parents died, who owned the park, gave them each a far share of it. A year or so after claiming ownership, lovers started coming here more and more often, particularly at this lake." Sesshomaru answered her, never taking his eyes off of her face. Giving a nod that she heard him, and that she understood, Kagome didn't ask anymore questions.
Sighing happily, Kagome took a seat on the blanket they placed under the tree, and stared up at the sky. The sun was just setting, creating a hue of purple, orange, red, blue, and many different colors in the sky. And since the water reflects the sky's amazing colors, the lake of lovers was the same color of the sky.
To make this even better, it was winter. Snow was starting to fall, giving the park a mystical, almost fantasy look to it. Something you would only see in a fairytale.
"Beautiful" Kagome whispered to no one in particular.
"Beautiful" Sesshomaru agreed, but he was not looking at the scenery.
Giving a slight giggle, Kagome couldn't help but smile at herself.
"What's so funny, Kaggie?" Sesshomaru asked raising an eyebrow.
"Did you know it's past Valentine's Day? It's kind of funny because I usually don't forget V' day, but with everything going on I guess I did." She replied looking at the sky. A slight hint of sadness was seen in her eyes.
Wrapping an arm around her shoulders to bring her closer, Sesshomaru whispered in her ear, "I didn't."
Turning to face him, Kagome gave a confused face almost saying 'go on.'
Chuckling slightly, Sesshomaru pulled out a small box from his coat pocket. The tiny box was blue and white. Handing it to her he said, "I didn't forget about the day of love. It would have been slightly awkward for me to bring it up after what's been going on, don't you think?"
Nodding dumbly, Kagome could only stare at the gift. Well, the box wasn't the gift, but it was apart of the gift.
"Why are you not opening your gift?" Sesshomaru asked, slightly scared that she didn't or wouldn't like it.
"Oh! Um, it's just the box is so pretty, that it would be just a shame to not appreciate it also." Came her reply.
Raising an eyebrow again, Kagome could tell that he didn't believe her, or that he knew she wasn't telling the whole truth.
Sighing, and rolling her eyes, Kagome confessed, "Okay! Okay, it's just that I'm kind of nervous. I never really received a Valentine's Day gift like this…from the opposite sex….who's not family or a close friend to the family". She added the last to parts, and spoke low, as if she was embarrassed.
Scooting closer to her, and giving her a reassuring smile, he took the box and opened it for her. What she saw made her gasp from pure shock. It was a necklace. It was a gold chain, and hanging from the chain was a rose. However, this was not an ordinary rose, o no, it was far from ordinary. The stem was green, but the petals were different colors. Some petals were yellow, red, blue, orange, pink, and the ever pure, white.
Tears came to Kagome's eyes as she gazed upon the beautiful gift. Knowing that her tears were tears of joy, meaning she liked it. Sesshomaru replaced the necklace from inside the box, to around her slender neck.
After placing his gift upon the young maiden that captured his heart, he allowed his fingers to finger the chain. His eyelids became half closed, and as he gazed into Kagome's lovely face, he saw that hers where to.
Slowly, their faces got closer and closer. Then their lips meet in a kiss of passion. At first it was innocent, as if making a silent promise, and then with each passing moment, the kiss grew urgent. Kagome leaned into Sesshomaru's chest for support, and he in return gave her that support, as if saying 'I will never let you fall'.
Then, Sesshomaru nipped on Kagome's bottom lip asking for an entrance. At first she was slightly hesitant, but after she allowed him an entrance, shyness was forgotten. Sesshomaru gladly accepted her permission, and placed a warm hand behind her neck, bringing her closer. He just couldn't get enough of her. Their tongues danced and tangoed like there was no tomorrow. Even though this wasn't her first kiss, this was her first tongue kiss. This realization put Kagome on a slight alarm.
Feeling her alarm, Sesshomaru stopped tongue kissing her, but didn't stop claiming her moth as his. He gave long gentle kisses only of the lips of passion. Then he gave her a small, light, and delicate butterfly kiss. It felt right to start and end it with an innocent kiss; it was like if he didn't something would be ruined from it. His thoughts on how he should end a kiss the way it started, made a smile come across his facial features, a true smile. Then he gazed into her eyes, and she gazed into his, and murmured against her lips "Beautiful".

SOOOOOO sorry for the long wait, but I didn't know time was flying like that. Hope you liked this chapter, I also hoped that I made up for the wait. Right now I'm in a very lovey-dovey mood so I had to do the chapter like the way I did it.
DO YOU ALL THINK IM LOSING MY TOUCH WITH THIS STORY? BECAUSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IM KINDA HAVING A WRITTER'S BLOCK.
It's like I know the plot and I know what I want to happen (I know what the climax is) it's just I don't really know how to get there. I'm just being honest so you all can be warned.
