Chapter 27:Beauty in All
-Kag's pov-
It was impossible! Rin is Hitomi? No! That can't be possible! Rin wouldn't be able to survive! 'But what if Hitomi was Rin's reincarnation?!'
Horror suddenly struck my face and I felt the blood drain from my face. Rin would die? No! I wouldn't let that happen! Not to Rin! She was just too good to die!
"Kagome." I blinked a few times, snapping out of my dread as Sesshoumaru's velvety voice rang through my ears.
"Hitomi-san is coming. Do not show of your worries until you have enough courage to ask her yourself." He said blankly.
"Uh-" I was just about to speak my mind at him. Who does he think he is? But Hitomi came with her big smile.
"So sorry to go like that, Kagome-san. I ordered something for the two of you already. Would that be alright?" oh that's great- wait! Did she just say?
"For the two of us? Aren't you going to eat with us?" I asked a little disappointed.
She shook her head, "Sorry, I still have to sing some songs. So, even though I'd love to, I can't." she said with an apologetic smile. I smiled as well just to make her feel better.
"It's okay, at least while we're eating, we can hear you sing, right?" I said cheering her up.
"Hai!" she said happily.
"And besides, you're the one who's buying, right?" I said with a cocky grin and a wink. I could clearly see a sweat drop hang over her head. But the smile never went away.
"eheheheehehee…."
"Hey, what time can you go?" I asked.
"Oh, um… 7:30 probably. That's when the other group starts to play. I'm actually very excited about meeting the other group!"
"Why? What's so great about the other group?" I asked.
"They're Evanescence! They're practically my most favorite band ever!" oh no, not Evanescence! I mean, don't get me wrong or anything, it's just that whenever I hear their songs… all I could think about were the times that I cried because of certain presently hallucinated about hanyou! And it doesn't make me happy one bit!
"It's just that their songs had a truth in them. They express so much heartache by the thing that they love so much. It's… beautiful in it's own way…" while Hitomi was talking I suddenly felt an impulse to look outside. And when I did… there he was again! What the hell is happening to me?! I closed my eyes tight and violently looked away.
"Kagome-san? What's wrong?" I opened my eyes in surprise. I looked up at her worried face. I couldn't answer her. Why was I hallucinating Inu-yasha to be here? I looked outside again only to see him still there, just walking. My eyebrows furrowed. If he was a hallucination, then he would have just vanished, wouldn't he? Then that must mean…
I stood up and noticed that I shocked Hitomi. I had to get to him. "Gomen, Hitomi-san. I've gotta go." And with that I ran outside, intent on getting to him and proving to myself that I wasn't going crazy.
"uh-But Kagome-san!" I heard her calling back. But I just blocked it out. I was too engrossed on proving to myself that he was real and on knowing why he's here.
-Sessho's pov-
Without a word she had ran out of the restaurant and thinking quickly, I followed in pursuit. Staying with strangers is dangerous; especially in unknown territories and also, it was getting dark. What was wrong with the wench? First, she's fine and then she looks as if she's seen a ghost. Her usual speed was lessened because of the kimono she was wearing. Where this girl is going, I know not. But I gave her my word that I would protect her, and that I shall uphold. She kept running and I noticed she was heading into a forest… or so it would seem caused by the sight of trees. When she entered the forest, I decided to leap up onto the trees seeing that it would serve more efficient for me to catch sight of the human with ease.
Suddenly she stopped at a clearing where there was a wide pond that spread almost all over the clearing. Fireflies glowed, as did the moon and the stars. The night's black consumed all without light. I landed under the branches of a tree and spotted her near the pond: The grass reaching up to her knees. She was looking serenely forward at the clear water. Her eyes were blank as the fireflies danced around her. I walked forward, only a few steps towards her, when she turned to face me. Life seemed to come back into her eyes.
"I thought I saw him… I guess," a bittersweet smile graced her pink lips. "I guess I just really miss him…"
I could clearly see her beauty. Fragile yet strong. Loud yet silent all the same. Afraid to show how truly hurt she is but only showing a fraction of it.
"Who…" I asked in a small careful whisper. I would dislike seeing her break down.
"Sesshoumaru, look…" she said pointing to the pond. I walked closer to her until I was standing beside her. My eyebrow rose questioningly as to why she would avoid answering my questions. I decided to go along with her.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yes…it is…" I said looking at her beautiful blue soft eyes. It amazed me at how beautiful one's eyes could be. How it could make ME, of all people, the great Taiyoukai of the west, Sesshoumaru to be mesmerized in such a dynamic way.
"When Inu-yasha lost the Tetsusaiga… he turned into a blood thirsty stranger to me. His youkai blood took over and he tried to kill all of us." I listened intently. About Inu-yasha once more was on her mind. It amazed me how she can withstand his senseless and childish antics.
"I was scared then; but not because he was trying to kill us, not at all. I was scared because I thought I would loose him." I raised an eyebrow at this. Losing him?
"All this time he would say that he wanted the shikon no tama so that he can be a full blooded youkai and be the strongest one at that. I've always liked him the way he was, so I didn't find a reason to support him on that. But it was his dream, so I didn't exactly tell him to not wish for it." A sad smile kept playing on her lips. "But when I saw him like that… I became frightened. All I could think about was: he's gone! The hanyou you loved so much has been replaced by this…this monster!" a pang of internal pain stabbed at my chest.
"A monster…" I looked down onto my hands. Claws for nails… for killing… not for touching and feeling…
"…Is that what this Sesshoumaru is?" I thought to myself.
"NO!" I heard her violently shout. Panic in her tone. I looked at her and saw the guilt and remorse in her eyes. "No, I- you are NOT a monster! I don't mean it that way!"
Something, unknown and invisible, seemed to pull at one corner of my mouth: making me smile a very rare, non-sadistic smile. It made my face itch! Smiling was not one of my more comfortable actions. I was not used to it since I only started doing so since Rin had come into my life. But the itch was put to side when Kagome once again gasped and started to blush. It served as a satisfying reward for withstanding the itch.
She started being uncomfortable and she averted her gaze towards the pond. Seeing as she was not about to say anything to break the silence, I decided to do it for her.
"Tell me something about my reincarnation…" I said looking back at the beautiful pond.
I saw her turn to me in such a quick motion at the corner of my eye. She looked surprised and her lips hung open. Something about those pink lips, thought, seemed to attract most of my attention.
"W-why the sudden interest, Sesshoumaru?" I saw that she had raised an eyebrow.
"How long is the period of your 'Friendship'?" I said deliberately avoiding the question. I do not favor lying. I'd rather keep my mouth closed than tell either the truth or a lie. I was curious if any… emotions had developed in the period of time they had together. After all, emotions like love are only developed over time. Sometimes another feeling is over analyzed because of the time spent, making the bearer of the emotion THINK that they are truly in ~love~. Ugh, the mere word disgusts me.
Silence endured for a minute or so, as she kept staring at this Sesshoumaru. Then, she looked back into the pond and smiled as if she were asleep in a dream.
"We've been friends for a year now. And it's gonna be two years on December!" a happy gleam danced in her eyes as Fireflies danced around both of us, lighting her beautiful features.
"Tell this Sesshoumaru of his attributes…"
"He's much like you, Sesshoumaru; Neutral, A little bit cocky and a little bit humble. He's very confident about himself." She said turning her head to see this Sesshoumaru. I looked at her then, to let her know that in was listening.
"He is… very competitive, and he doesn't like to lose. He cares a lot for his pride." She smiled and looked for more words to describe him. She looked up in the sky for a moment then looked back at me.
"He LOVES to criticize me!" she said almost laughing. "He likes to draw every beautiful scenery. He's blunt and professional." She said looking back at the pond. "In fact, if he saw this beautiful scenery right now, he'd take out his sketch pad, sit down and then draw it for a few hours. I like to watch him draw, when I have the chance. I like to see how… focused Sess-kun's eyes can be…how…delicate his hands are. And sometimes, I'd see a small smile on his lips if ever he'd notice I was watching." She looked as if in a dream state, as if she was watching him draw as she spoke.
"And he's protective and considerate. He's beautiful and smart. He's…he's fashionably trendy!" she said laughing for a short period. "And he always has to be on time!" she knelt down and laid her long and thin fingers onto the surface of the water. Running them onto the wetness of the etheral pond. "And He loves the water. Almost every scenery he draws consists of water. He's conservative and observant.And he has to have his privacy. Sometimes, he won't let me see what he drew. I don't know why though. And he's very organized. He has to plan every thing he does. He's thoughtful and kind- well to me at least. He likes to hide his kindness behind the cold-hearted 'I don't care about you' look. He really hates it when I say how nice I think he is." A giggle came from her at the memory, or so it seems.
Watching her amusement seemed to lighten something inside of me. However it remained unknown. Maybe I was catching a virus from all of this time with the humans! Ugh! Where are all the youkais?
-Kag's pov-
Yes, it's fun to think how many times Sesshoumaru would just take the time to goof off with me. It's a very rare find! Mostly, it's either he's at the library: reading and studying. Or he'd be at his otousan's office, training. His otousan runs a very productive company, but the only way it'll stay productive is if his own family inherits the whole corporation! Him being the only child meant he'd inherit all the lands, the mansion and all the pressures of owning his own company. Sometimes though, I pity him.
A frown came onto my lips and I guess Sesshoumaru noticed it when I saw him suddenly look at me from the corner of my eye.
"But sometimes…he works a little TOO hard." Memories of their past arguments came into her mind.
"His otousan runs a big company, and he trains Sess-kun to take over soon. But his father doesn't know how much he's putting Sess-kun's physical health in danger." My eyebrows furrowed into an angry scowl. "I mean, Sess-kun goes to school early, then after that he studies in the library, and then, after that, he'd go to his Father's office and train. Then after that, he'd go to meetings and construction sites and then, he'd go to his nightly work out. He only gets 4 hours of sleep at night!" my fist clenched in anger at how abused Sess-kun's body was.
"I told Sess-kun that it was dangerous for his health to only get 4 hours of sleep, but he tells me he's used to it, and that he doesn't need sleep, and that it was all for the company and his father!" sourness came from my tone, and I just couldn't hold back how angry I was at how foolish he was being! I worry everyday whenever he refuses to eat lunch because he has to review his contracts and paper work and all of that CRAP his father makes him do! It scares me…to imagine Sess-kun in the hospital, lying there… I closed my eyes tightly to banish the hair-raising thoughts. Oh please, not to him! I keep praying for that day never to come!
"Kagome…" I opened my eyes in surprise to hear his velvety voice, snapping me out of my depressing thoughts. I looked at him in inquiry with a 'HUH?'
"I wish to return to my time…it seems as though the day has ended." I looked forward into the sky only to see pitch black.
"Oh my gosh, it's already late at night! We better get back home!" I said standing up and looking at the water for one last time. I faced him and smiled, glad to know that he listened the whole time. He nodded and we walked out of the park.
Later…
When we got home, it started raining after Sesshoumaru went into the well house and jumped in. I didn't think that it'd be safe for me to go back now to Kanaru-san and give the lovely kimono back. It's a little bit late and very dark. I'll just give it to him tomorrow. And there it was, lying on my table, without a single wrinkle. The most beautiful kimono I had ever worn… too bad I had to give it back. I sighed.
I was now wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a black and white butterfly imprinted on it. I wore once again my house shorts (the ones Sessho saw her in), but all because it was really hot these past few nights. And I was just about to jump into my soft bed when suddenly the doorbell rang! Again and again and again! Arg! It's so annoying! I was already going downstairs to open it because no one else in the house was awake.
I turned on the lights and opened the door…
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped! Pure horror washed over me!
"OH MY GOD, SESS-KUN! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
