Chapter 10- Back to Square 1
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Rin's POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
It's been 3 days… I locked myself up for 3 days… I've been crying for 3 days straight… crying myself to sleep… I haven't eaten right… I eat… for the sake of my unborn pups… pups of the man I love…
I caressed my stomach wherein I can feel my children crying with me… they can also feel my pain…
Umi-chan still tries to make Sesshomaru remember…
I was excused from my thoughts when the door to my room opened and revealed a man I was so familiar with… a man who had been my world… a man who had skin as pale as snow… eyes that are made of gold… silver tresses carefully placed behind…
"You must eat." He said and I turned to face him… my face still wet and tired from insufficient sleep… I put a smile on my face as I tried to sit up…
Umi came in carrying food for me… I smiled at her… she caressed my face and looked at me sadly…
"Rin… you can't go on like this… please eat… for your pups…" she said and willingly took the spoonful of porridge… I slowly opened my mouth… I can't taste the food…
"Leave us, cat" he coldly ordered Umi-chan… he even addressed her 'cat'…
"Why would I do that? So you could hurt her more?!" she said standing up and facing Sesshomaru… he didn't respond…
"You said she is my mate" he said finally; it wasn't a question…
"Yes, she is. But you just can't accept that, can't you?" Umi-chan said…
This time he didn't say a word…
"Please, Umi-chan…" I smiled at Umi-chan…
"Rin?" she hesitated for awhile; eyeing Sesshomaru fiercely…
"Fine… I'll be outside" She finally said, took a last look at me and went out…
As soon as Sesshomaru was sure she was outside; he walked towards me and sat by my side… looking at me… I looked into his eyes… they showed confusion… he was confused…
He took a spoonful and waited for my mouth to open up; which I did after a few seconds… he slowly removed the spoon while staring intently at me… he did this until I finished my porridge…
"Why?" He asked with the same stoic voice he had… I didn't respond…
"Why do you trouble me so?" He asked once more… I smiled at him… I can't find the voice to speak anymore…
"Hn… are the pups in you, mine too?" He asked… I nodded honestly…
"… I will be accepting the pups willingly, human… but you will be giving me answers when you are in condition to speak…" He coldly stated… I smiled at him once more… I was relieved he will be accepting our pups…
"Rest for now…" He said still with his un-emotional voice as he stood up to leave; it slowly broke my heart not having him by my side until I fall asleep…
Maybe… just maybe… we could start over… yes, for Sesshomaru; I could wait… I can… until his memories will come back… until he remembers… I know deep inside… we can still be together… I slowly closed my eyes and let a tear drop and fell asleep…
Nothing can come in between us…
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Sesshomaru's POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'm holding this human's face… her skin is soft… this skin seemed familiar… but something is keeping me from remembering!
I wiped her tear away… something inside me doesn't want to let her tear fall… then, again, what?
I sighed… and walked away…
"I love you…" I heard her whisper…
I stopped and took a glance back at her… she… smiles?
I feel relieved somewhat seeing her smile… it just brings… a sense of peace…
So many unanswered questions… that I feel I know the answers…
But in this case, my patience must be thicker and I, wiser…
I will get the answers out of this human…
I may not trust her being… but soon… I will know…
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((UMI'S POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I took one last glance to the two… and closed the door thinking about Kei-chan… I sighed and leaned my back against the doors I just closed… if only I could do something, anything to make the spell disappear…
*~Flashback~*
I ran to Keisotsu… how could she? How could she do this to Sesshomaru?
I lowered myself to her fallen form and put her head on my lap… she moaned lowly… her pleading beautiful emerald eyes filled with desperation and sadness looked up to me…
"U-Umi-chan, l-long time n-no s-see, huh?" she managed to say and smile…
"K-Kei-chan, w-why?" Was all that came out and a tear fell from my right eye…
"F-For h-him to p-prove his- worthy…" She gritted her teeth in pain…
"W-Worth?" I'm confused… she nodded and proceeded to say,
"W-Worthy to rule t-the W-West and…" she coughed blood!
"Kei-chan!" but before I could even do anything, she touched my chest and put me in a paralysis spell…
"T-To prove t-that t-the G-Goddess of Nature is w-worthy too… I've known t-that t-this i-is my t-true p-purpose h-here… T-Tha-Thank you, U-Umi-chan… p-please t-tell S-Sesshomaru-s-sama…" She used all her strength to stand up to her full height …
"By the power given to me by the gods
He be proved worthy of the woman he loves
She be worthy of the man of the gods
Then and only then shall this spell be broken…."
Right before she finished her spell she said to me and smiled…
"P-Please t-tell him… I-I'm s-sorry and… I-I love him…" I c-couldn't move… K-Keisotsu!
"WASUREJUMONKARENOAI!" she finished and she slowly dispersed to diamond dusts…
I felt my nerves and body muscles lighten up but not my heart… Keisotsu… Tears escaped…
*~Flashback End~*
If it wasn't for my cat speed, I would've fell back when the door suddenly opened up showing the arrogant dog I now face…
He eyed me cautiously while I glared at him fiercely… We stayed like that for seconds when he walked swiftly away from me… I was about to enter Rin's room when I heard him say,
"I hate the smell of salt waters…" he said not bothering to look my way…
"So, make sure that human doesn't release those" he continued on his way; I couldn't help but smile to myself…
So, he does care… although he can't remember… I sighed...
'Koichi… I hope to see you again...'
