Remembrances of the Past- Part 2: An Act of Love
Author's Note- I would like to thank all you that have reviewed my story. I appreciate it a great deal, especially since this is my first fan- fiction. By the way, this chapter will involve a little snuggling, just to let all of you know.
Just the two of them sitting there in silence was getting too weird to Kagome, so she broke the silence by saying, "Isn't the breeze refreshing Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha winced at the sudden question coming out of nowhere, but he quickly straightened himself out and replied softly, "I love the beach. I didn't know such wonderful places even existed. My mother showed me beautiful valleys and mountains, but not anything as stunning as this."
Kagome was glad that he liked it, and stood up and sat a little closer to him. Inuyasha moved a little further away, but then went back next to Kagome, remembering his vow.
Kagome, hearing Inuyasha mention his mother, asked, "If you don't mind, can you please tell me a little about your mother. You know, the general stuff. Pretty please?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, and when he saw those pleading eyes, he responded, "Okay, if you say so."
"She had black hair and a sweet motherly face, and she always hugged me in my time of need. She taught me how to read and write, as well as how to cook a little. She also reassured me that no matter who I was, or what I looked like, I would always be an adorable, little son to her."
"My father, on the other hand, I knew nothing about, since I was very little at the time. I think he died even before I was born, or shortly thereafter, but none the less, I don't know much about him."
"I'm so sorry. My dad also passed away when I was very young, so I don't know much about him, either." Kagome's eyes were watering a little as she said this, regretting not knowing her father, and Inuyasha not knowing his.
"Thanks, and... sorry that you didn't know your father that much," Inuyasha said, feeling pity for Kagome.
"It's alright. By the way, do you think it's alright if I... lean on you?"
Inuyasha, caught off guard by the sudden request, replied nervously, "Um... sure, if you want."
"Thanks." With that, Kagome leaned her head against his shoulder, her hair touching his hair. Inuyasha sat surprised by the sudden act. When her head was against his, he felt a little... embarrassed. But, soon afterwards, he actually enjoyed feeling her soft, silky hair against his, making him feel a little sleepy.
Sub consciously, Inuyasha reached out his hand and touched her hair, running his now human fingers through it, enjoying the smooth feeling. Kagome's eyes opened up, curious for a second, but then closed shut, because she enjoyed Inuyasha running his fingers through her hair, giving her a sleepy sensation.
They just sat like that for endless minutes, enjoying each other's warmth and comfort.
While Kagome was half-asleep and half-awake, Inuyasha was fully awake. He didn't really like the silence that was surrounding them, so he spoke, his voice very soft.
"You know Kagome, no one really cared for me in my childhood except my mother. I didn't even know my father that much, so he wouldn't count."
Kagome jumped a little at the sudden conversation, but relaxed and nodded her head for him to continue.
"Sesshomaru, that bastard, hated me because I am a half-breed. However, he didn't show his hate publicly, since he knew that father would punish him. I was only a little child then."
"After my mother died, I was left alone to fend for myself. Sesshomaru used this to his advantage, and tortured me day after day. I finally broke free of his evil torment and ran away."
"I survived by myself. I taught myself how to defend what is mine, and how to fight back against enemies. I am the son of The Lord of the Western Lands, so I had above average skill and strength, and that helped me survive."
"I had no home, no food, no water, and no one to take care of me, but I managed. I hunted animals and ate them raw, then took a swim to wash off the blood. I then slept and woke up to do the same thing. That pretty much was my agenda."
Kagome joined in on the conversation. "So you mean you had to survive alone, without anyone? That must have been horrible."
She suddenly had tears in her eyes, and Inuyasha, noticing them, tried to sooth her. He pushed her against his chest, then started running his fingers through her hair again, his other hand resting on her neck.
He tried to comfort her like that, until she finally stopped crying.
He lifted her chin up and wiped away the remaining tears with his thumb, smiling down at her.
He went back to caressing her hair again, leaning her head into his neck. Soon afterwards, he started speaking again.
"I have a confession to make. I wasn't really alone while I survived by myself. A year later after I ran away, I had pretty good senses and enough power to take down demons, except dragon demons."
"I killed a deer one day and was taking it to my den to clean when suddenly, I heard a fierce, rumbling sound that was coming my way. I jumped up in the tree that was in front of me, leaving the deer on the ground."
"A few seconds later, a massive dragon shaped like a snake emerged from the ground. It had orange-red scales, and it's skin was also the same color. Humongous teeth and blood-red eyes gave him an intimidating form, although he couldn't breath fire, which I found out by not smelling fire in his mouth."
"It jumped out of the ground and took the whole deer into its mouth. It then looked up at me with those murderous eyes, and told me who he was in a terrifying and hissing voice, 'I am the great demon-leader of the Lingjyuo Clan. Hunger fills my whole body, and you will satisfy that hunger!'
"With that, it leaped up at me. I dodged him the first time, but he struck me with it's massive tail. I fell to the ground, bones broken and pain enveloping my body."
"It took me into its mouth, and hurled me against a tree. I hit it, and blood started dripping from my wounds and my mouth."
"It then began charging at me, and I knew that I would be a goner if I didn't do something soon. However, I was powerless at the moment."
Kagome interrupted his story, "So how did you survive?"
"Well, I would have been dead, if not for one individual who was lurking in the woods nearby..."
Kagome interrupted again, "So who saved your life. Don't worry; you can tell me."
Inuyasha responded by saying, "You sure you want to know. You might get a little...jealous."
Kagome replied, with confidence in her voice, by answering Inuyasha, "Don't worry, we love each other now, right. You can tell me."
Inuyasha, a little shocked, but agreeing, said, "Alright, fine. I'll tell you, but don't get jealous." With that, he began his story again.
Author's Note- I'm sorry I had to end it with a little cliffhanger, but it's just to keep all of you fellow readers in suspense! Don't take it offensively, though. I thank all of you again for reviewing my story, and if I get a lot of reviews, I'll try to hurry up with the third chapter! :)
