Chapter 23 Tell Me
"Yoruichi"
Yoruichi walks into the room and sits next Sesshomaru on the futon. "Tell me Sesshomaru, I want to know the truth. Tell me how you feel, what you're thinking. Just tell me, I am a big girl I can take."
"My answer is no."
"And???"
"And what?"
"It's like pulling teeth", she mumbles. She shakes her head and takes a deep breath. " If we're going to get through this Sesshomaru, we're going to have to talk to each other". She takes his hand "You can't just shut me out."
"It is not my intention to shut you out, but why would I open up to you if you only intend on pushing me away."
There is a brief moment of silence between them. Then Yoruichi parts her lips with all intentions to launch a verbal defense, but an apology slips from her lips instead. "Sesshomaru, I am sorry for pushing you away. I guess a part of me thought it would make it easier if this time I didn't let you in again. I told myself I was protecting you, but truth is I never wanted to feel that pain again. I still have pain from the last time I told you good-bye. The pain lingers in my heart, reminding me everyday you can't be mine."
"But I am yours and you are mine. That has not changed and it never will."
His response makes her happy and sad. "Sesshomaru, you'll always have my heart and that will never change," she says with slight smile. "Unfortunately, nothing else has changed either and I'll still have to tell you good-bye soon." This was the first time she faced the feelings buried so long ago. Yoruichi looks at Sesshomaru with the same sorrowful eyes she had the night she told him good-bye. The sadness of that evening settles around them.
"No more," whispers Sesshomaru
"What?"
Sesshomaru kisses Yoruichi softly and sweetly. He breaks the kiss and presses his forehead against hers and whispers, "No more, good-byes". He kisses her again this time the kiss is longer and more passionate. Leaving her breathless. She gets lost in his new set of kisses as he trails them down her neck and back up to her ear. "Let me take the pain away," he breathes slowly in her ear.
She cups his face and stares into his eyes, and sees the determination and the passion. Sesshomaru looks in her eyes they have brightened some but are still dim compared to the girl he met so long ago. "Sesshomaru, I" He kisses her again trying to pull any doubt from her mind. He continues kissing her as he lowers her onto the futon. She lets out a soft moan as Sesshomaru hands explore her body through the thin fabric of the silk kimono. She runs her fingers along his bareback. She opens her eyes find that Sesshomaru is completely nude.
"Wow you don't waste anytime do you?" He looks a little confused by the comment. She smiles mischievously at him and admires his Adonis like physique. Tracing over his well-sculpted body with her eyes and fingernails. She kisses him fervently but continues learning each newly developed muscle running her hands all over his body. This time Sesshomaru is the one to moan softly as she kisses his neck and dances her fingers along his chest caressing his washboard stomach. Her hands roam further down as she begins kissing down the trail she made with her light scratches. He moans and she kisses him; then she pulls away. Sesshomaru can't help but groan as he looses contact with her lips, her body. Yoruichi stands to disrobe. Sesshomaru watches to his delight as silk kimono falls delicately around her ankles.
Sesshomaru smiles and he takes her by the hand guiding her to lie on the futon. Once she lies down Sesshomaru caresses her hair and face. " Yoruichi I've missed you so," he says just before kissing her. He moves on top of her staring into her eyes searching. "Sesshomaru, I've missed you too." She traces her fingers over his lips and smiles and Sesshomaru sees the light in her eyes once again.
