Tsubaki's Curse

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha

It was what she wanted...
and all I needed was... a chance to feel accepted.
But Kikyo's only mistake was... falling in love with me... and I don't mean to boast, but that itself was inevitable.


InuYasha's P.O.V.

It lasted all day and night. She stood on wobbly legs, smiling, satisfied withwhat she'd... we'd done.

"Well... it was quite nice. Don't you agree?"

I nodded, but I wasn't fooling myself. I felt used, then again, aren't I using her as well? She put her clothes back on with trembling fingers. I watched as I pulled my hakama back on.

"So... are we going to see each other again?" I asked, kicking myself afterwards for asking stupid questions.

She smirked, locking eyes with me. She straightened her kimono, putting her green necklace back in place.

"Are you sure that's what you want?" she asked.

I thought about it. Why wouldn't I want it? She makes me hard as hell and gives it to me easily. Who would be stupid enough to deny wanting it? Wait... is this a trick question?

"It's not that I want it... I'm just asking if it could... er... may happen again..." I asked, grabbing the rest of my clothes in one arm.

She smirked, fixing several misplaced strands of black hair. I had lit a fire not so long ago, and I sat staring at the flames as they danced. She sat next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder.

"You know... I would like that. This was... wow... I couldn't have imagined it would be this way."

I smiled. What she said was sweet. Part of me would've wanted her to say it was nice because it was with me, though. She didn't mean it that way and my heart broke, but in a way, I felt accepted. She probably doesn't want me because of who I am, but because of what I can give her, but at least she wants me.

"How about a moon from now?" she asked.'

I didn't want it a moon from now. I wanted it tomorrow, but how can I tell her that without sounding like I'm desperate?

"Sorry... I can't..."
"Oh... well... if that's the case... how about seven nights from now?"

I mentally smirked. Even better.

She blew me a kiss and left, weapon in one hand, basket in the other. We'll meet again, seven nights from now. I can't wait. I think I already miss her.


Author's Note: Well, what do you think? Boy, he doesn't even know her name. Oh... well. No... it wont stay an InuYasha/Tsubaki pairing. In a few chapters, Kikyo will make her appearance. Oh... Kikyo is just so... cool. Anyway, please R&R.

For those of you who think this is short, I agree with you. I guess my stories come out in scenes, and I'm sad to say I'm not very experienced in writing. That is why there is a lack of... uh... expression... feeling... but I'm working on it. Please bear with me...
