Author's Note: Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update reeeeaaal soon to this story. In the first place I wanted this story to be a one shot. But to please you…and since I got something inspired me to give this story a better ending…..
Here it is.
Hope you like it.
Please R&R.:)
He woke up with a pain hitting his head like a drum. Looking around the room he spotted a figure slouching in the chair, asleep. He studied her for a good two minutes before realizing who it is.
He got out from his bed and walked towards her. Brushing her hair, Seshumaru tried to make himself believe that this is just a dream. For he knows, she can't be here.
"I really must have gone mad." He said to himself.
"But her hair feels so soft to be just a dream and her scent.."Bringing his face closer to smell her.
"This is one good dream." He concluded as a smile slowly found its way to his thin pale lips.
The woman started to stir without him noticing. Still holding a lock of her hair, she slowly opened her eyes and found him there, standing so close to her. They say the sweetest way to wake up is by a kiss but what about waking up and finding a man holding your hair and sniffing it?
She blinked back, shocked.
"You are supposed to be in bed." Tipping him off that she is already aware of what he is doing.
Seshumaru glanced down at her, confused.
"I didn't know people can speak so clearly in dreams." She heard him his whisper.
Sighing, she pinched him.
"That stings." Commented Seshumaru, rubbing the red mark it left behind.
"There, that confirms it." she said.
"Confirm what?" frowning at her words.
"That you're not dreaming, you childish man." She replied in a stern silky voice.
"Wha-?" taken aback. Knowing Rin would not call him that. Looking closely at the woman in front of him, he noticed lemon yellow reflecting his instead of dark brown eyes that almost looks black.
"This is turning into a nightmare." He said to himself, shaking his head in defeat.
Sighing, he went back to his bed and lay down.
"What spirit possessed you to dress up as Rin, mother?" now staring conspicuously at the older woman.
Taking off the wig, revealing her long silver hair she smiled at him, a taunting one.
"I did it out of pure heart." Still smiling.
"Pure heart?" raising his eyebrow. "by dressing up as my wife who left me?" sarcasm edging his voice.
"And that is exactly why I did it."
"whatever." he muttered with his eyes closed, closing the argument.
"You should call the doctor." He said annoyingly. Finding an excuse to drive his mother away.
"And I'll do just that." she replied, finding her way to the door.
As he heard the door closed he released another sigh. He thought he was gonna die yet there he was. He woke up and found his mother dressing up as his Rin. His brows knitted into a frown as a thought came to him.
It can't be.
She made her choice. She doesn't care about me. Or maybe she doesn't know anything about what happened that's she can't come. Or maybe she is doing something extremely important. That's why she can't come.
Random thoughts began to occupy his mind trying to convince himself or trying to find an excuse to explain the absence of his Rin. And it worked until her words echoed in his ear.
"But I don't… love you, Seshumaru. I made my choice. To leave you. Now you have to make yours. Either to get over this and hate me, forget me, or stay being pathetic, chasing after someone who left. Whatever you choose that won't make me come to you. This is goodbye, Seshumaru."
It only took one single memory to shatter the little hope he was trying to build. Now pain started its attack against his already battered chest.
Torture tackled his already beaten heart again. He can feel himself trapped on the wall of dejection. He knows that it's over but he can't stop himself from hoping that maybe…even just a maybe she will come back to him but now he isn't sure. The reality keeps slamming his face but he always turn a blind eye to it. Now he can really see why a lot of people say that 'ignorance is bliss.'
He should have known better. No matter much you want a person to stay that is just isn't enough to make them. Nothing is stable. Everyone leaves. It's inevitable. Fighting it is useless. Everything is headed to an ending. And it just happened that his is not a good one. Defeated he cried with no tears.
As he tries to make himself fall asleep, the door opened revealing a man wearing a white coat. An ebony haired woman tailing behind him. His mom disguising as his wife again. Until now he still can't understand the humor of his own mother. .
The question of the doctor directed to him cut off his trail of thoughts. Half-heartedly he answered all of them, his mind still trapped around Rin's words replaying nonstop in his mind.
"Do you feel pain anywhere?" asked the doctor.
"Just a drum playing in my head." he answered sarcastically. He already feels worse now the doctor is just making it worse. Why can't they just leave him alone so he can free himself from everything that's tormenting him. From the pain. From the loss of his Rin.
Seshumaru ignored the doctor and just stared at the ceiling. His eyes glazed with an unknown emotion. After hearing the door close indicating the other man's exit, he turned to the woman.
With a weak voice he told her," When will you drop the disguise and stop toying with me?"
Then. . .
Heartbeat racing rapidly.
Eyes wide with confusion and surprise as dark brown eyes mirrored his own sun colored pair.
His mind telling him that this might be his mother disguised as Rin yet again…but he knows only his Rin can look at him with soft warm eyes and the same pair who looked at him with disdain and left. Now she is standing beside his bed gazing at him as if everything that had happened is just another nightmare that ended.
"Why are you here?" he said.
"To stay." She replied simply.
"But you already left." Now even more confused.
'How can you do this to me Rin? Just when I am ready to give up and move on, you appear and say that. As if all of that is nothing but a sick joke.'
"I know."
"Then why? You said it yourself. We belong in two opposite worlds." Her words still crystal clear in his mind.
'What do you really want Rin? Please you already left once. If you say that you'll stay this time but then just leave me again at the end…. I don't know if I can take the blow the second time. Don't leave me hanging again. What are you really planning?'
Her eyes clear. Flowing with something Seshumaru cannot make out.
"We are a perfect misfit. Something that's never meant to last. We had our chances to work it out. .. but all we did is fight. ..I've said goodbye once so it won't matter if I say it again."
"So you came here to say it again?" looking at her with disbelief.
'What' the catch Rin? I did everything to make you come back you always threw ice reply at me. What change?'
Shaking her head she leaned down and touched his bruised cheeks and smiled.
"We are a perfect misfit but that doesn't mean I can't stay. I'll stay."
Seshumaru doesn't know which part should he be surprise more. Finding her standing beside him. Her words. Or at the moment he felt her lips touch his.
The End
