Does it hurt to live in the reality

By a nice autumn afternoon,

Where circle the faded leaves,

I see my night dreams again.

Dreams where both of us are.

We were waking on a desert highway.

Hands together.

You and me,

Together on the highway.

The beatings of your heart,

Were giving our rhythm.

Always faster,

No one can stop us.

Our beatings are like love,

A long and eternal thread.

Come on, open your eyes,

Look at me,

My firs love…

He loved her more than the life its self. He did. But now she was tormenting him. She of course did not understand it, but still, it hurt, like Hell. She had just found the most painful and mist sweet way to tortured him. Caring smiles, warm embraces, innocent kisses. She was killing him tenderly. The worst part?

He loved it. He loved every moment of it. He loved living in a dream that was not, where she held feelings for him. He wanted this to be a dream, that would never end, an old fairytale, that lasted to the end of the world. Or maybe it was another dream, another fantasy, that world imprint its self in his sanity. Or maybe he was already insane, all that had happened, just a trick of his mind. He hoped so, for he was falling…

…Falling so deep, that he couldn't remember the world before it started. He fell…

…But as far, as he was to fall…

…He did not mind falling.

Lapis met gold. There was no lie in his eyes. Kagome felt emotions dancing right under her skin.

The way he looked at her made her shiver. No hate, only longing. He held the eyes of a dreamer, someone, that didn't keeping touch with reality. She couldn't blame him. His life…

…His life had to be a living Hell. Was the world so brutal, that it made him hide under, that cold mask of his? Did it hurt to live a life, were you are a Nobody. Just a decoration to the landscape. She was sure that he hurt inside. Why didn't he let anybody in? Was he going to give her a chance to know him? Was he to show her his deepest secrets, desires? He unknowingly had opened him self to a book, this way- to her.

Does it hurt to live into reality? Maybe, the insane people, were just like that. They were rejected from this world, to be happy in their own, were one was what one desired to be. Whoever he or she choose.

Kagome fought the urge to shake her head. What was with her today? She was having strange thoughts. The miko looked up, meeting his gazed look. Oh, God!!! He was still holding her. Her mind was telling her to go, her heart to stay and her body to drive even closer into his warmth.

She bring her self to speak:

"Sesshoumaru…"- her voice sounded strange, even for her- "We must be on our way. If you still want to save Kikyou, that is?"

She felt him stir and that the look in her eyes made her froze. Love, care and… something she had never seen before. The way his eyes met her set her body on fire. Was it… was it lust that shone into his amber orbs.

She than imagined, what was he feeling. He pressed so intimate to the one he wanted. She shivered. Not fro the cold. Not from fear, but from a feeling, that was born deep into her lower abdomen.

Sesshoumaru wanted to groan. He was following her body reactions and now he regretted it. First she was deep in thought, than a bit confused, but than a scent he was sure, he would never forget hit him.

Arousal. Her sweet aroma of warm milk and vanilla mingles with that of spices made his own body react with unwanted intensity. His demon nature was calling to him just to throw her to the ground and have his way with her, forgetting all the things he had to do. To take her again and again until she wasn't able to walk strait without his help…

He felt every fiber of his being telling him to do it. Every fiber of his soul screaming to him, that he was a heartless bastard, just to think that way. To rape her?

That was NOT going to happen, as long as he held to the last pieces of sanity.

And way was she aroused? Was it because of… him? Sesshoumaru dismissed this thought instantly. But the idea of her thinking for somebody else, when she was in his arms pained him greatly.

"Ummm, Sesshoumaru?"- she asked.

He understood, that he had just as she called it "Spaced out'. The taiyoukai nodded and scooped her in his arms, running with demon speed toward the camp. There was a moment of silence from Kagome and than she screamed as she understood, that there wasn't solid ground under her feet now.

Sesshoumaru was amused. She was clinging to him, as if there was no tomorrow, shouting her lungs out.

He took his last few leaps to the camp and rooted in front of her friends. Interesting, the miko didn't cease her attacks over his ears, but continued, oblivious to the fact, that he had stopped. She cracked one eye open and than with a lightning speed bolted upright from his arms.

Inuyasha, Sang, Miroku, Shippo and heck, even Kirara were staring into her, considering her mental state. She than spoke seriously:

"Guys, Sesshoumaru…"- she gulped hard and than continued- "Sesshoumaru is going to try to bring Kikyou back, with his sword."

Silence embraced the group. Inuyasha was the one to talk:

"Kagome, are you sure, that you want Kikyou to…"

The miko cut him wit her words- "Yes, Inuyasha. I'm sure. If I wasn't I wouldn't ask Sesshoumaru her to do it, would I?"

"But Sesshoumaru is a bastard…"- he was again stopped by an angry Kagome:

"He promised me, that he will try. And you know what? I believe him!!! He had never lied to me, so don't dear calling him a bastard!"

"Kikyou…"

Here Kagome's voice became softer:

"Kikyou loved you, Inuyasha. You love her. You deserve another chance."

"But what about you?"- The hanyou almost cried.

"It's not about me, my friend"- she smiled- "It's about you and her"

The half demon raised his head and Kagome gasped. In his eyes were tears. The hanyou slowly spoke:

"Thank you, Kagome. You really don't know what does this means to me."- Suddenly, the words I never expected to hear tore from his lips- "Thank you, too, Brother, for agreeing to do this."

Sesshoumaru just nodded and emotionlessly said:

"Move, Hanyou. This Sesshoumaru do not need you around."

The half demon gently lay the clay miko on the ground and than jumped away. Kagome stood right beside Sesshoumaru, praying to the gods, that her idea would work out. There was tense silence as the Taiyoukai gripped the hilt of Tenesaiga.

Seconds turned into minuets and still nothing happened.

"The sword will nor respond."- He said coldly- "Tenesaiga will not listen to this Sesshoumaru's demands."

Kagome put her hand on his shoulder, as Inuyasha sadly shacked his head, his face- crestfallen. As her fingers reached for his arm the sword's aura pulsed to life. Everybody looked as Tenesaiga's power woke up. Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and than beck to the heirloom sword and than said:

"Miko hold into this Sesshoumaru."- It was more like an order, then a plea, but still she wrapped her arms around his wais, pressing fully her chest to his back. The young woman was deaf to her friends gasps and Inuyasha's curses. The only thing she was hearing was a melody. Melody of love and life. Melody of happiness. The sword of Heaven was alive.

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and silently said to the katana:

"Tenesaiga, carry my will. Help me to make the one I love smile again."

To Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Shippo it looked like he sliced through the air. Than suddenly the small clearing was illuminated by blue light. The gates of Nirvana were open.

Just as suddenly it started, it finished. Everybody looked up. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were the only one that were able to feel the real change. There stood Kikyou, but she was no more the same, she was…

To Be Continued…

I'M SO BAD!!! A cliff, and what a cliff! Do not cry, I'll update tomorrow, I'm almost 100 sure, OK? For the next chappy I want some humor. Here something to munch until tomorrow:

"There was a noisy THUD!!!, when a body hit the ground, fainted. But it was not from Sango, nor Kagome. "Oh, Holly shit!!!"- Inuyasha choked. Sesshoumaru wanted to laugh. If he knew, that they were going to react like that he was to tell them a lot earlier. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"- Cried Sango."

Sorry, the chappy IS a little insane, but I wrote it while listening to "Down with the sickness", so no flames pls.

So love it, hate it? R&R,

Teary goodbye, KillingMeTenderly.
