The Words Spoken
Silent Call
It had been over a month since the incident in the clearing and still there was no indication that it ever happened. Not from him. My dreams had been shattered - but I still clung to my tattered hope.
Love was not supposed to be like this; not this constant heart wrenching pain that tormented the soul. As much as I was an outcast in my village, the whispered secrets and declarations of love among the other young girls had been no secret to me. I had heard their whispers and had seen their adoring gazes and longed to be a part of that camaraderie. Not only that but I had dreamed almost religiously of my own hero. A hero who would see me for me and love me with all of his being as I would love him.
Then Lord Sesshoumaru had come into my life. He was the hero I had always imagined; only more handsome and less sociable. His preference for isolation suited me for my lifetime, albeit shorter than his, of contact with humans had jaded my view of most of them. They were weak, but I could not truly fault them for their behaviour. They harm and hate anything they are ignorant of and fear. I had guessed that their ignorance had lead to my love's unusual behaviour towards us.
Often I would imagine us as a family, parents and child. His devotion to Rin's comfort and needs so reassuring and appealing after my troubled childhood. He was the father I wanted for my offspring; a father they would never have, a child I would never bear. Rin was the replacement, a substitute to lessen the almost tangible torment of my torn heart. She was the daughter I had forsaken by choosing to follow love's destructive path.
Walking through the meadow towards the Yajirabi Forest, I gazed wistfully at the two who owned my heart. Travelling with them had been the happiest and most sorrow filled time of my life, but my duty now called. The air practically hummed with the message, the imperative summoning of the chosen ones. The breezes and winds beckoned me, silently urging me to follow them to my duty. It was time.
Filled to the brim with bittersweet sorrow at our imminent parting, tears threatened to overcome my composure. For days now, I had done my best to ignore the summons but it was a practice in futility.
After the others fell into slumber, tonight I would take my leave. Only the Fates would tell what my future held.
Hope you guys liked it. It's the first chapter to the three chapter sequel of The Words Left Unspoken. I have a funny feeling that I'll be needing to write a sequel after this one but only if you guys want one. It'd be the last though and I'd have my first trilogy. :-)
Read and review please. Let me know how much you guys like it.
Ja ne!!!!!!!!!!!!
