The One Who Holds My Heart
Once again I'm sorry! I know inuyasha may not be as popular as when I started (that's why I have a new name: jrockLover12), but hopefully there are still takers. Also, like I said in the apology, my writing style may be a little different than before. Hopefully it's for the better!
Sesshomaru
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" That's Rin's voice! This is my chance to redeem myself! "I'm coming!" I yelled as I took the nearest exit. As I crossed the rooms, I realized that Inuyasha's wen…I mean Kagome was still here. Even though I knew I should get going, I just had to stop and ask, "Why are you still here?" Kagome looked at me with eyes of sadness, "I don't know…" I just shook my head. I didn't have time for this. "Move!" I commanded. Kagome moved out of the way as I took a detour through her window. 'Rin…' I thought, 'I won't let you down this time!'
Inuyasha
It's been pretty quiet since Rin left. "I'm surprised I haven't gone back to Miroku and the rest…" I said to myself. "Feh! Who needs them?" I tried to keep my thoughts off of them, but finally my conscious won. "Fine! I bet they've been eaten by demons anyway!" I said to fill the silence. I pulled on the top of my Fire-rats robe and exited the hut.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" I heard deep into the woods. I knew it was Rin. "Should I go?" I thought aloud. But soon I smelled an extremely faint scent from the opposite direction. "Sesshomaru…' I muttered. I knew he was going to save her. "Good luck.' I said as I followed Miroku's scent.
Surprisingly, they were closer than I thought. They must have gone searching for me. I jumped down from the trees to stand face to face with them. "Inuyasha! Where have you been!" Shippo scolded like I was a child. I just waved him off and turned to the others. Unfortunately, they wanted to know as well. "Did you see her?" Sango questioned. Miroku watched me expectantly. "Yeah…" I said with caution. I didn't want to get into detail. 'Well, what happened! Where is she?" Sango pursued. I just shrugged and walked past them. "Hey! You come back here!" Miroku yelled behind me. I stopped and turned around. "What do you want from me!" I yelled back. They walked closer to me. "Where is Kagome, you idiot!" Shippo responded. I sighed, "She's in Sesshomaru's castle, alright!" Sango shook her head, "No it's not alright! Why didn't you bring her back?" I shrugged again. I was starting to regret coming back.
"Don't just shrug! She may be in serious danger!" Miroku chastised. I turned angrily on them, "Look, she's fine, okay!? Just leave me the fuck alone!" That shut them up…for a while anyway. Sango asked, "Then why did Sesshomaru take her? Why didn't you bring her back?" my face flashed a wave of pain and confusion. I didn't want to, but my emotions were taking control.
"Miroku, Shippo," Sango said suddenly, "Why don't you guys go…do something else. I think I'll talk to Inuyasha." I watched the other look at her in shock. "B-but why? I want to know too!" Miroku whined like a child. "Just go!" Sango commanded. They obeyed. "Oh man…" I heard them mumble as they slumped away.
"Now, Inuyasha, let's sit." I followed her instructions. I was beginning to wonder what she wanted to say. "I saw that look of sadness, Inuyasha." She started. "Feh…" I mumbled. I was embarrassed. "Anyway, tell me why you didn't bring Kagome. Something happened between you two, didn't it?" I tried to look away from her, but she turned my face into her direction. I gave up trying to hide. It was just going to eat me up inside anyway.
"I found her…and told her I love her." I started. Sango repressed her shock so she could listen to the rest. "I…we…did some things. Then I realized that I have nothing to give her. I'm a half demon. I'll only father partly demon children. They can never see Kagaome's world and they'll be ridiculed in mine. I can't let them go through the childhood I endured!" I didn't mean to say so much, but it just came spilling out. Sango sat silently for a moment. Then she spoke "I see where you're coming from, Inuyasha, but I think you're thinking too hard. I mean, look at you. Even though you grew up in this unforgiving era you still came out as a demon with a heart. You know how to feel love. All you need to know is that Kagome loves you. Though it may seem like a hopeless world for your children now, things may change in the future. Who knows? Maybe things will be better for them."
Sango said what I really needed to hear. All I need to know is Kagome loves me. Nothing else. "Thank-You." I said standing up. "I vow to bring Kagome back." Sango nodded as she rose up as well. "Oh, and one more thing,' I said. Sango looked up "What?" I smiled, "Don't tell the others yet, okay?" She nodded in understanding. Then I took off for my brother's castle.
Rin
"Oh God!" I screamed. This is where it ends. I'm going to die here! "Sesshy!' I whined. I wish I never left him. I wish that I never even contemplated leading a separate life without him. "If these are my last words…" I cried to myself as I felt my legs slow down, "Then I want them to be 'I Love you Sesshomaru….'" I felt the bear demons breath upon my back as I prepared to die again. And this time there was no Sesshomaru to save me from the messengers. 'I love you, Sesshy…" I whispered as I closed my eyes to accept my fate…
Suddenly light flashed through my closed eyes. I opened them and struggled to adjust to the piercing light. As my eye became used to it, I realized another demon was attacking the Bear. I knew I recognized him! "Sesshomaru!' I whispered. He was using yellow whips that extended from his fingers. The light was brighter than any other time I've seen him use it. "I'll make sure you die here!" He screamed at the demon, slicing its mighty head with a single whip. It's head rolled on the floor towards me. It was staring at me with empty eyes.
"Oh, Sesshomaru!" I exclaimed. I leaped into his arms. "I knew you'd be back! I just had to let you know I believe you!" I said quickly. He put me down. "That's good to hear. Rin I do honestly love you." I felt tears well up in my eyes. "That's what I wanted all along!" but I knew something was bothering him. "I-" he began. I feared it was something that would drive us apart. Indeed it was.
"I don't think I can, or should for that matter…' he said quietly. I tried to pretend I didn't hear it, but I knew. "You're human, and though it pains me to admit, I can't seem to get past that." I felt new tears fall over my old ones. Theses were tears of pain. "Try and look past it!" I pleaded. 'It's such a minor detail! Don't you love me?" Sesshomaru turned slightly. "That's another thing…I think sometimes I still see you as a child. It's hard to get past that as well…" I couldn't believe what I was hearing1
"Who cares? You love me, right? Just find a way past that! That's something we can do together! Why can't you jus-" Sesshomaru turned to me with the scariest face I've ever seen, "Because," he started vehemently, "I'll be like him! My father! My children will be weak like my brother! My blood will be soiled!" I shook my head. "But you're NOT him!" I cried. He looked down. "But I see it that way…"
"Why are you making this so difficult for me!" I screamed. Sesshomaru tried to touch me, but I smacked his hand away. "How dare you come here and tell me you love me, just to tell me it won't work! I'd rather have died again than to have suffered this!" I was bawling now. Sesshomaru kept quiet. He seemed to be trying to forget the fact that I'm human. The fact that he is a full demon. "Rin…" he said finally. I looked up at him with scorn. I saw it pained him and decided to soften my face. "Rin, I'll do it. We'll do it." I wasn't sure what he was talking about at first, but then it hit me, "Do you mean it? You're not just playing with my emotions, are you?" Sesshomaru shook his head. "I'm foolish for letting a petty thing like my father get in the way. It's…just weird that I, the one who always looked down upon him and my brother, has fallen for a human as well." I understood why he was confused, but I was never more sure than right now that he indeed loved me. Loved me like a woman and not a child. "I love you so much, it hurts…" I whispered. He embraced me. We sat there for what seemed like an eternity. I didn't want to let go.
Kagome
I lightly touched the tears falling down my face. 'Inuyasha…I love you…" I said for the fourth time. I just kept staring out the window repeating those words. "Even Sesshomaru has found love…" I thought aloud. "Why didn't you want me?" I tried to stop crying, but I just couldn't. I loved him with every ounce of me. I would die for him. "Inuyasha! I love you!" I screamed out the window. "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
"I love you too." I heard someone say. I bent out the window and saw Inuyasha standing underneath. I laughed, "You're like Romeo!" He looked at me, confused, "I look like what?" I laughed harder, "Not 'What', 'Who'! Romeo is the romantic male in a famous play by Shakespeare!" Inuyasha stood there scratching his head. I was so happy to see him standing there. I felt like laughing forever.
"Just come up here, stupid!" He climbed the walls and met with my embrace. "I'm so happy…" I whispered. Inuyasha stroked my hair. His face looked apologetic. "Why'd you leave me!" I screamed, knocking him off guard. He almost fell back out the window. "Geez, Kagome! You almost made my ears bleed!" I didn't care right now, he was avoiding the question. I sat on my bed and waited for him to follow suit. Finally, he got the hint and sat next to me.
"Answer the question, Inuyasha!" I commanded. He fidgeted a little, but finally said, "Kagome, do you want kids?" I looked at him in shock. I expected to be the one to ask him that, not the other way around. "Yes…why?" I asked slowly. He fidgeted again. He must be really nervous. "Well…did you ever think about…well, you know? About how they would turn out?" He asked finally. I should have known this was it. "Look, Inuyasha, I don't care if their a quarter demon, half demon, or even full demon! They'll be my children and that's all that would matter to me." Inuyasha still looked a little skeptical. "But what do you think the world will think of it? Do you think they'll be accepted?" He asked solemnly. I knew he was thinking back to his childhood. "I know you want the best for them." I started, "But we have to trust that it will be okay. Also, maybe the world will lighten up to half-demons. And you know my mom doesn't care if her children have dog-ears. She just wants grandchildren!" Inuyasha looked at me hopefully. I smiled. "We'll just have to wait until the time comes…"
I'm sorry that I'm keeping my reputation of short chapters, but I'm trying to think how to continue. This was what the story was all about, right? I mean they just wanted love! Maybe after some time (not years! Just some days…) I'll find a way to lenghen it. If I can't think of anything else, I'll let you know so you're not waiting around for nothing. Also thanx again for waiting so long! I'm terribly sorry. I know I'd be pissed if I was you.
