Unexpected Lovers
By Olivia Herron
I can't tell you what I felt that day, but it wasn't what someone would call a normal feeling. I wanted so much and in a way I wanted something very small too. I loved InuYasha more then anything. His eyes. His hair. Everything about him was so perfect. But the day that he died was so hurtful and unthought of. I didn't know what was coming, I was unprepared. When he died, I felt my heart rip apart into a thousand pieces. He was the only thing sustaining me from not taking my life. I loved him and there was nothing that nobody could do to stop me from loving who he was.
" Hey Kagome!" A voice shouted from behind me. I knew that voice from somewhere, but Where? was the question that popped into my head. That voice belong to Sesshoumaru. " Are you going to stay after school to decorate for the dance to tonight or did you forget?" He said that in the nicest way that I have ever seen him do it. You have to take into consideration that Sesshy was the kinda guy that wouldn't be nice to you even if you were the nicest person to him. I think he felt sorry for me because I had lost someone close.
" Earth to Kagome!" I felt a nudge on my shoulder. " Hey is anyone there?"
" Yeah," I paused and looked into his eyes, " I'm here."
" Good because I wanted to invite you to my house over the weekend to show you something." He smiled, got onto his bike, and rode off into the blue sky. I didn't know what to take into consideration from the things that he had just said. Ever since InuYasha died, I have always thought to reincarnate him back. I know it is a dream, a fantasy, but maybe I could do it. Sometimes I do things that I don't even know I'm doing. One time I had lifted a pencil during the middle of class then dropped on some kid's head. That was the same day that I also called upon a falcon from somewhere and it came to me when I left the building. I can't really explain why these things happened, but Inu always told me that my powers were gifts and not a curse. He also told me thought I should believe in them and grow with them. The first time I heard him say that I didn't know what to do. I had never had anyone understand me like that before. I guess that's why I loved him.
So over the weekend I went to Sesshy's house. I was afraid to knock on the door because of what might happen. The door was white with a hand-crafted door handle. The handle, a dragon, was unique just like the house. I felt a different presence, a cold presence.
"Hello," a lady about 49 came onto the porch and smiled sweetly. " Oh, you must be Sesshy's friend that he was talking about early this week."
" Yeah!" I smiled sweetly and walked into the most gorgeous house that anyone could ever see. "Thank you for letting me come over."
I smiled once again and walked up the stairs to his room. I knocked on the door. The door opened and Sesshy grabbed me and turned me around slowly.
"Wow!" He looked at me with his eyes twinkling in the light. " You know most people don't come over to my house because everyone is scared of it."
Sesshy smiled and started to slowly kiss me. I couldn't stop him for one reason, he had something there inside him that reminded me of InuYasha. When we started to kiss, I felt a small flame and a spark of energy. I hadn't been kissed in so long that I forgot what it was like. Feeling his tongue enter my mouth, I let go and enter without even pushing him away. He stopped and looked at me.
"Whoa!" Sesshy stepped backwards and caught his breath. " I have never had anyone kiss me like that before."
I had started to cry for no reason. He took me into his arms and held me. For a second it felt really weird. Not being held in someone arms can take an effect on you. I knew maybe something else was going on. Maybe Sesshy did like me and I didn't know it, but now I did. When we went to Sasaki Elementary School together, we were best friends and I knew then he had a crush on me. I could see it in his eyes. As we went to middle school and the beginning of high school, I started to feel his little crush on me go away. Maybe me and Inu didn't belong together. Maybe Sesshy and me did belong together.
"Hey! It will be okay," he stopped and brushed the hair out of my face, " No one can hurt you now. I'm always going to be here to protect you. No matter what the consequences are."
" What did you want to show me?"
" I wanted to show you this book that I had found in the attic about 2 days ago." Sesshy had a different expression on his face. A serious one.
" What is it about?"
" It is about what happened when we were kids!"
Looking into his eyes, I noticed that there was confusion and struggle inside him. He felt lost and confused, an internal struggle for the answers that he has always wanted.
" I had started to read the first couple of pages and that's when I discovered what my family had kept from me for so long." Sesshy was definitely curious and confused about what this secret was.
" What is it?" Opening the first pages, I started to read. " Oh my gosh. It can't be!"
