chapter: 6 understand, brother
last time:
his face, as beautiful and perfect as it was, was filled with pain and he was only so strong as to stop his tears to fall. his love.
his kagome. she had forgotten. all about everything. all about him...and it was all because of his carelessness...
'i'm so sorry, kagome.... i'm so sorry..." he whispered in his mind.
"i love you...." he whispered. but it was so silent that only inu-yasha heard. only he understood. his pain...
___######@@@@@@@
inu-yasha's eyes widenned.
sesshumaru really did love her! he really did care for her! it was only now that he realized it. it WAS possible. it was possible
for a man so evil and uncaring as him to love a woman so pure and loving as her.sesshumaru loved kagome. with all his heart.
inu-yasha finally understood. he was being selfish. he thought that kagome would never love such a man. he thought that
kagome could only love him. he thought that kagome would be happy only with him...
but he thought wrong. kagome was so much happier here. with him. with her mate. wiith her love.
later, inu-yasha was outside. leaning on the door of the room where kagome resides in. sesshumaru was still inside. with her.
miroku was sitting with sango and shippou downstairs. Yaman was leaning on a wall watching rin and jaken 'play' outside.
but even though they took their comfortabe places, their faces were all filled with sadness. and worry.
'i wonder how sesshumaru-sama is taking it.' Yaman thoguht. she could clearly see the pain and anguish in his eyes when he
commanded her to take care of rin. it was so heartbreaking to see your idol in the brink of tears but still struggling to fight it
all back just because of a stupid title. it pained her to see his hurtful glances at kagome. it was just too much to bear.
in the room,
"so. my name is kagome?"
"yes" he said not looking back at her from the view by the balcony he was standing on. it pained him too much to see her
curious eyes.
"and yours is sesshumaru?" she inquiried curiously from her seat at the head of the queen-sized, western styled bed
"yes"
"and that earlier man was named inu-yasha?"
"hai."
"and why won't you look at me?"he froze. should he tell the truth? 'stupid question! i never lie!' it was part of him being the
lord of the western lands.
after a long while of silence, she stood from the bed. he heard cloth's movement and turned to see her smiling brightly at him.
oh, how he adored that smile for so long.
"you're the one who told me everything. you must be very important to me."
with that, he let a smal smile slip. deep in her heart... shhe really hasn't forgotten about him. atleast that was enough to lift his
spirits.
"i might be." but then the small smile vanished. "i have to go" he moved to glide away from her. but kagome caught his back in
a tight hug.
"no." she said. and at that moment, time seemed to have stopped for him. he wanted so much to hold her back. but he can't
rush with her memory developement. it would just further give her headaches.
"stay. don't go. i don't want you to go." she whispered burrying her face into the back of his 'kimono' (i don't know what to
call it)
he would've stayed... but he couldn't...
"forgive me. but i must." he disentangled her arms around him and moved to the door. but before going out
"don't try anything rash. you might hurt yourself. Yaman will call you to dinner."
"who's Yaman?"
"your servant"
"i have a servant?!" and with that he closed the door. he leaned at the door, sighing and tilting his head. he had to find a cure.
he just had to. even if it took the end of time.
"you really love her, don't you?" the voice of inu-yasha disturbed his thoughts. he opened his eyes and looked at his hanyou
half-brother. his blank cold eyes staring into serious ones.
"yes." he said simply.
"what are you gonna do, know that she doesn't know us anymore?"
he didn't answer for a while. his thoughts still a big jumble. his heart still crumpled on the floor.
"i don't know....." his eyes turned into sad, gentle golden orbs. one full of pain and desperation. something inu-yasha never thought
he'd ever see.
"you changed, sesshumaru. you're not that cold hearted yokai lord anymore, are you?"
"no. i'm still the cold hearted yokai lord. i'm just inlove now. with an angel that fate doesn't want me to love." and with those words
he walked away, into the dark lonely halls of his castle.
(okay, here, please imagine that the scene blacks out slowly. just adds to the effect)
the next day, inu-yasha was walking at the gardens. thinking about kagome and also his brother.
he wasn't acting like the 'give me the tetsusaiga or die 'dear' brother.' sesshumaru he knew all too well. instead he was like...
lifeless... he was so lifeless knowing that kagome forgot all about him... it was sad actually.... even for him...
he stopped on his tracks when he heard laughing from an all too familiar voice. he rushed to behind a big boulder and peeked his head
to see
kagome laughing gayly by the flowers with rin and jaken. and sesshumaru... his ice-king brother...smiling...under the shade of a tree.
but he wasn't smiling in happiness. his smile was a sad one.
"sesshumaru-sama!" kagome waved to him in a carefree tone.
sesshumar tilted his head slightly to the side and smiled warmingly. who would've thought?
he watched as kagome resumed to playing with rin and jaken. what a beautiful family they would've made. if it wasn't for the sadness
in him...
