Chapter 24: Reconsider
-Kag's pov-
I wiped off the tears that I hated as I walked down the empty halls. I hated to cry! I hated it because I feel weak when I cry! I feel helpless…alone…unloved…I hated being so weak! I never wanted to cry! Especially in front of Sesshoumaru! I never let anyone see me cry and now, I cry in front of my very 'enemy'. He wasn't my friend anymore! Acting all innocent! He can't fool me! he took her side and that's THAT!
"I see the moon and the moon sees me. The crescent moon sees who I want to see…" what the?! Someone was singing? Here? I looked at the door to the music room, which was beside me. It sounded like a girl, she was singing…
"I see the moon and the moon sees me. The crescent moon sees whom I want to see. I see the moon now looking at you, I want to see you, I love you." I entered the room and to my surprise,
'Hitomi?!' I thought.
She opened her eyes and I could see her unshed tears. She blinked them away and smiled sweetly like before.
"Hitomi-san…" I thought aloud.
"Oh, ohaio, Kagome-san. I was just uh- reminiscing…" she said taking a seat in front of the piano in the middle of the room. It made her look so beautiful to be there, with little bits of light from the window highlighting her features. I sat beside her and joined her in playing children's song on the piano.
"Reminiscing?" I asked looking at her.
"Hai…" she said with a nod. "Reminiscing my times with Secho-kun…" my hands suddenly felt heavy as
Cole and it dropped on the keys making it sound real bad. 'Sesshoumaru…'
"I-I'm sorry to disturb you then…" I said wanting to get away and remembering she was my enemy. I stood to leave.
"When I was little, about twelve…Secho-kun would always make me cry." I faltered.
"He would?" I asked in a small curious whisper…
"Uhuh…" she nodded. "He'd always push me and tell me to buzz off. And he even tried to kick my butt once!" she giggled. I sat down once again, my eyebrows knitted together.
"What did you do?"
"Well, I always stuck to him like sticky tape. And when he tried to kick my butt, I started crying. I was all WAH, WAH, WAH!!!!" we both giggled.
"And you know what he did?" I shook my head no.
"He asked me why I was always following him…"
"And you said?"
"I said, because I envied him…"
"Envied? Why would you envy him?"
"Because he had a mother… I didn't…"
"I don't understand…" I said.
"When I was eleven years old, my mother died of a heart-attack." I gasped and said, "I'm so sorry."
She shook her head and smiled. "It's okay, I'm over it already. But I know that I'd never forget the song she sang to me on the night of my birthday…"
"That's what you were singing earlier, wasn't it?" I asked with a smile.
"Hai… my father and I moved to another country, here, after she died." She said with a sad smile.
"Where were you from, anyway?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm from the Philippines. I'd love to tell you about it sometime!" she said with a happy gleam in her eyes.
"Uhn!" I nodded happily. "I'd love to hear about it!" We smiled to each other. Well, I guess she isn't all that bad!
"You know, Kagome-san, I was wondering, did you see Secho-kun anywhere?" my smile immediately turned into a frown. I could see her worried face.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I took in a deep breath, "Sessh-kun and I, we had a fight."
"W-what was the fight about?!" she said.
"Well…" I didn't want to say this now that I actually consider her my friend! "It's about… you." I looked down in shame.
"M-me?" she said with a bewildered expression. "What did I do?"
" Nothing! You didn't do anything! I don't know why, but when I first saw you all I wanted to do was rip your head off!" she gulped and held her neck protectively. Oops! Wrong thing to say… I smiled sheepishly.
"Ehehehe…well, after today, that is!" she sighed and seemed to relax. "I don't know, Hitomi-san, it's just that… the sight of you… and Sess… smiling at each other… it made me feel so angry! At both of you!"
For a moment, Hitomi's eyes widened and then a smug smile appeared on her face. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" I asked.
"Hm, hm, hm…" she said.
"What?!" I asked frustratedly.
"Kagome-san, have you ever thought of Secho-kun as a- well… a romantic friend?"
"A romantic hula-wAwa?" I said meaning I didn't understand.
"You know, A romantic friend! Even though you're just friends, you… feel something for him?" she said with a sly grin and a raised eyebrow.
Romantic friend? I started blushing after it hit me! And trust me, it hit me HARD! "W-what are you talking about?! Of- of-course not! He's- Sess-kun's not- I mean I- I don't- I mean I do! But I- not in- w-well, not like- can we start over?" I said with my brain exhausted and my heart pumping like I saw a hungry wolf ready to eat me.
She giggled and put her hand on my shoulder. I looked at it then at her face. She showed tenderness and happiness, pure happiness. "Don't be afraid to feel these things. It's only normal to fall in love with a guy as attractive as he is. I sure as heck can't blame you! Even I'M attracted to him. But I think I don't have it as bad as you do." I blushed like mad and had to get away! M-me?! In LOVE?! W-with Sess-kun?! T-That's impossible!!!!
"I-It's getting late, I have to- uh go, so- uh bye!" and in a flash, I was gone. I can still hear her giggling like an angel would as it echoed throughout the halls. I blushed some more, 'that was so embarrassing! Me?! In love with Sess-kun?! N-no way!
