Chapter 8: Dreams, Forgiveness and Secrets
Riku sighed, its been 2 days since they got to Radiant Garden and Kagome was still ignoring them. Looking around, Riku wondered where Kagome was. Lately, she could be found with the chi chi and chipy birds (A/N: yes. They sound weird, chi chi is my bird's name and chipy is my mom's birds name. And they are two different types of birds lol) Looking out his window towards the stales. He saw the Kagome with the two different birds. The chirpy birds were birds of flight, with bitch black bodies and orange, yellow and red head tuffs and tail feathers and they had the most beautiful colored wings, brilliant blue. Now, the chi chi bird is a bird of land, but its as fast as the chipy bird in flight. Their slim bodies making them fast, but their coloring was a bit odd. Their bodies with pitch black with silver and red streaks and they had long necks with green eyes. Shaking his head, Riku sighed and went outside, he just had to try and talk to Kagome.
~With Kagome~
Yawning softly, Kagome got up and out of bed. She couldn't believe it, the two guys she loved, didn't really fight for her. Looking down, she decided she would go and visit the chi chi and chipy birds. Getting up, she decided on a black fighting kimono with a red moon and silver sakura petals and with that, she left. Over the past 2 days, she's made friends with new people, Cloud, Leon, Yufi, Tifa, Cid and Merlin. Her favorite though, she would have to say, is Cloud. He has a very strange aura to him and she finds it… comforting. Sighing softly, she made her way to the stables and entered, smiling softly
"Hey guys, guess who?" She said softly, smiling at the birds.
The birds starting making noises and gathering at the head of their stables, making Kagome giggle. Sighing softly, Kagome went and got a saddle and a lead and reins. Grabbing her two favorite birds(A/N one from each group). Walking to her chi chi bird, the one which she named Hotaru(A/N this means firefly) and saddled her up, then went and got Ren(A/N this means lotus) and put the lead on him. With that, she lead the two birds outside and got on Hotaru and tied the Ren to the saddled and gently kicked Hotaru's side and said "Yip Yip" and with that, was off.
~With Riku~
Riku watched her from the shadows and pondered asking her now or following her and seeing what she was doing. Being a guy, he was curious as too what she was gonna do, so he opted to follow her and when she was out of fight, he got a chi chi bird and set off after her. What he saw and heard made his mouth drop and his heart clench.
~Normal P.O.V.~
Kagome sighed, stopping at the waterfall and small lake she had found with Ren awhile back. Getting off, she took the reins off of Hotaru and untied the lead from Ren.
"You guys know ehn to be back and to not get into trouble." Kagome said softly, but firmly.
The two birds squawked and went off to do whatever. Smiling to herself, Kagome sat at the edge of the lake and looked up at the setting sun. Looking down at the waters, she soon found herself talkin aloud.
"Why didn't they fight? Why didn't he fight? I thought he said he loved me. don't you fight for the ones you love, no matter who your fighting against?" Kagome said to herself, on the verge of tears, not knowing that Riku was there and watching.
"I wanna run into his arms…tell him how I feel…how I felt…but I cant. I don't know what to do." She whispered, letting a few tears fall.
Slowly, Kagome got up, and slowly started dancing and singing.
Only Hope by Mandy Moore
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
Im awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Blinking to himself, Riku thought that he heard this song before and tried to remember where.
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me the plans that you have
For me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now that you're my only hope
Slowly, Riku realized where he heard this from. It was that dream! So it was really Kagome that was in his dream, blinking, he realized he was slowly walking towards her dancing form.
I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Blushing, Kagome saw that Riku was there and he was listening and walkin g forward her while singing. Blinking, she felt the familiar deju'vu feeling. Looking up into his eyes when he started dancing with her, she noticed his eyes twinkling and suddenly remembered the dream she had before she meet everyone. Riku smiled down at her when they came to a stop. Both kinda just stared at each other, neither knowing what to say. That's when Kagome decided to break the silence.
"Riku..why are you here? Why did you follow me?" Kagome whispered softly.
Riku stared at her before thinking bout her answer seriously. Sighing softly, he realized it was because he missed her voice, her warmth, her light. He missed her smiles and everything else about her. He wanted to know why she was mad at him, but he knew now. And he was gonna prove himself to her, he promise himself that. Looking down, he saw that she was out of his arms and walking away. Running, he caught up to her and hugged her from behind.
"You left. Why?" Riku whispered in her ear, making her blush
"You took to long to answer. So I thought you ust stalked me." Kagome whispered softly, making Riku's eye brow twitch.
"No. I didn't stalk you. I wanted to know why you were mad at me and ignoring me. I missed hearing your voice, seeing your smiling face, feeling your warmth, and having your light. I wanted to talk with you. But then…I saw this and…well. This was in my dream…" Riku admitted, whispering the last part.
Kagome gasped, turning around, she stared him in the eyes. He followed her, cuz he wanted to know why she was mad at him. But mostly, the dream. She remembered now, he was in her dream! Tears welled up in her eyes and slowly spilled over. Riku, noticing this, softly whipped them away and grunted when the young female flung herself deeper into his embrace, making them fall.
"Hey… Hey… why the tears?" He asked, worry lacing his voice
Sniffling, you looked up at him, whispering;
"I had that exact same dream!"
Riku, not prepared for this, looked at her more seriously, then slowly, he lowered his lips to hers for a soft kiss. Kagome, having missed this, melted into the kiss and kissed him back. Soon, they had to break for air.
"Hey. Im sorry I didn't fight for you, but I promise that wont happen ever again. I truly, really do love you." Riku said, whispering in her ear.
Kagome smiled against his shoulder and soon fell asleep. Riku smiled and gently laid her down and whistled for the birds. Soon, the two birds she came with appeared.
"Hey, watch over her for me, kk? Ive got to go get somethings.." He said, looking down lovingly at the sleeping girl.
Looking at each other the two birds nodded. Smiling, Riku ran off and got on his bird and was soon out of sight.
~With the others~
No one was surprised when they didn't see either Kagome or Riku all day. Normally, they wouldn't until dinner time. But it was past dinner, so everyone was slightly worried. Especially Kairi and Sora.
"Why aren't you even the slightest bit worried for her?" Kairi said, irritated with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"Feh. She can take care of herself..She is an In.."Inuyasha started, but Sesshomaru cut him off.
"She is 17. And where we're from, that is old enough to take care of yourself. Yes, she is our imouto, but we have to trust her. Besides, we'd know if she was in trouble." Sesshomaru said, glaring at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha just sighed and "feh'ed" again and walked off, making everyone look at them strangely. Sesshomaru just smiled a rare smile and said sorry and walked out, following Inuyasha.
"Hey guys… What all do we really know about them?" Tifa asked, looking at everyone.
Around her, the whole gang was there. That included: Cloud, Yufia, Cid, Leon, Merlin, Sora and Kairi. Just then, the door opened and in came Riku. Everyone stared at him before looking serious and pulling him into the conversation.
"Whoa guys. Whats up?" Riku said, a bit too cherry.
"We don't really now anything about the Tashio's. We've known them for a month or so, yet we know nothing." Tifa said, looking at the place where Sesshomaru and Inuyasha disappeared.
Riku noticed this and looked at everyone with a confused expression. Sighing softly. Someone spoke up.
"Right before you came in, Kairi was yelling at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, asking them why they weren't worried about Kagome and yad yad yad. Inuyasha was talking and was about t o say something. Something that had "In" as the first two letters and then Sesshomaru cut him off, glaring at him. Then Inuyasha left and Sesshomaru soon followed." Cloud said softly, looking at the door.
Everyone gawked at Cloud and he just smiled. Oh yes. He knew, but he wasn't going to let them know or the Tashio's now just yet. Sighing softly, Cloud thought it better he left.
"Im leaving. I do not want to meddle in others business" Cloud said and then left, making everyone sweat drop.
"Well… That was interesting, but I don't see why that matters." Riku said, sill confused.
"It means their hiding something from us… and I don't know if they can be trusted" Tifa said sternly.
Everyone sighed and shook their heads.
"Hey. We'll just have a group meeting soon about it and discuss it, ok?" Yufi said, for once being the logical one.
Everyone nodded and went back to what they were doing. Riku, sighing softly, went to gather the things he came here for. Walking towards his room, he heard soft voices. Being even more quiet, he saw that they were from coming from Inuyasha's room. When he got there, he listened and what he heard, he didn't like.
~With Sesshomaru and Inuyasha~
"Otouto, you can not tell them of what we are. Not yet. They would not understand." Sesshomaru said, looking at Inuyasha sternly.
Inuyasha had his ears to his skull, which Riku always wondered if they were real or part of a costume. Inuyasha looked sad and stressed.
"But aniki, why cant we?" Inuyasha said, whining slightly.
Sesshomaru sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Otouto, you know we cant." Sesshomaru said sternly.
Sighing softly, Riku got up and walked the rest of the way towards his room. Grabbing all the things he needed, he went back out and ontop his bird and was soon back with Kagome….
