Bundle of Joy
Eriko stormed off, completely peeved as Yuki trailed behind her. How dare he run away from this like this? Now I'm never gonna hear it. Eriko huffed, she knew his plan exactly. Do the dare without the embarrassment, right? Jerk! He knew very well that there was nothing Eriko wanted to see more than Inuyasha confess his feelings to Kagome...well almost nothing more...
Eriko cast a cautious glance back at Yuki. She felt her face heat up."You have a sweetheart?" Bankotsu's words floated around in her mind. Maybe, just maybe she does. As Yuki tripped over a root, Eriko couldn't help but remark how cute he was.
"Oww!" Yuki cried.
She sighed. This was stupid. This was really stupid of her. This was almost Inuyasha-stupid of her. To act like this...to pretend like this...to deny it like this. She, the self-proclaimed cupid, tried to be oblivious of her own affections. She wanted to bang her head against something hard for her foolishness.
"Eriko, wait!"
She really did like Yuki and for the longest time, too. She didn't know why, she didn't even know how it happened. She just knew that what she felt for Yuki was pretty strong.
"Seriously, slow down, Eriko!"
She glance back at him again as he seemed to fade farther into the distance, and as he tripped over another root. She wondered if he felt the same. As the question bubbled up, once again she felt like Inuyasha or Kagome. This was something she constantly rolled her eyes at them for asking but she herself was now asking the same thing.
"Eriko!"
She was beginning to realize that if she had compared her own feelings to theirs, she could have been a much better help with their relationship because she would have understood. Now, she understood and it was too late for her to do anything.
"Eriko!
She sighed again, "I'm useless." Worst of all, she noted as she stopped and waited for Yuki, she was finding it hard to do what she had been asking Inuyasha and Kagome to do for ages, confess her feelings.
"Ah, you're finally waiting for me," Yuki remarked, "I was scared I would lose you."
An awkward silence ensued as their faces heated up.
"L-Let's look for Mizuko!" Yuki stuttered, looking even more adorable. Sticks and leaves were caught up in his short silver hair which seemed to glow when the son hit it. There was patches over dirt all over his face and clothes. His golden eyes looked shyly away from her.
Eriko found it hard not to just squeeze the living daylights out of him. She managed to hold out her hand. "Here, this way we won't lose each other." She didn't look him in the eye, less she lose her self-control.
Yuki's eyes widened as looked at Eriko, his face reddening. "E-Eriko!" She really did look beautiful extending out her hand like that, standing in the moonlight. Her pink locks gently swaying in the breeze. A light blush the colour of cherry blossoms decorating her cheeks.
He held onto her hand and felt his heart pounding. Sh-should I say it? Should I c-c-confess? Yuki had been in love with Eriko as long as he could remember. The sheer joy that lit up her face when she had a plan, her excited expressions when she watched Inuyasha and Kagome together. All her faces seemed to move his heart in one way or another.
He cast a shy glance in her direction. His eyes landed on her lips. A longing not so new to him crossed his mind once again. He wondered what it would be like to be able to kiss her without worry. To be able to hold her without reason. To be able to see her light up when they are alone. To have her call his name with that excited expression of hers. To be hers, to own her. He wanted to be her boyfriend so much he couldn't stand it anymore, not while she looked beautiful like she did right now, not while she held his hand as tightly as she was, not while they were alone like this. It all seemed to perfect...if not for his constant tripping over roots.
It wasn't his fault for being so clumsy all of a sudden, with someone as perfect as Eriko standing in front of him, how could he focus on anything else.
They walked in silence.
"Eriko, I-" Yuki began but stopped and turned away.
Eriko swallowed, "Yuki, I just wanted to..." She trailed off and averted her gaze.
They continued to walk awkwardly, hand in hand with two tomato-coloured expressions.
"It's just that-" They stopped when their eyes met and they immediately looked away.
"This is stupid," Eriko cursed, "This is just stupid. I should be able to do this. I'm a hypocrite."
Yuki turned to stare at Eriko. What is she talking about?
"This shouldn't be so hard, dammit!" Eriko snapped, "It shouldn't be so hard to say I love you."
Yuki's heart drowned out all other sounds. "You...you love me?"
Eriko turned around, shocked. "Shit! Did...did I say that out loud?"
Yuki lit up as this happiness swelled inside of him. "This can't be real! I...I must be dreaming!"
"What?" Eriko replied, incredulous.
"Because, for the girl of my dreams to suddenly declare that she loves me," Yuki put on the most heartwarming smile, "It must be a dream."
Eriko smiled in turn and grabbed Yuki's other arm and put a quick peck on his lips. "This is no dream."
Yuki beamed even wider and let go of her arms, only to pull her into a tighter embrace with his hands wrapped around her waist. He kissed her passionately.
As they pulled apart, they smiled at one other brightly, foreheads kissing. They made a beautiful silhouette against the moon.
"I love you, Yuki Tsukihara!"
"I love you Eriko Tenji!"
They giggled for a moment, hopelessly in love with another.
"Wait, don't we have a job to do?" Yuki wondered suddenly.
"Ah, Mizuko!" Eriko cried and they laughed, searching together with their fingers entwined.
Sorry for any of you who thought that this was just a filler chapter or, dare I say, waste of a chapter but this is only part ONE of the three-part confession chapters. Dare I spoil it and say, I saved the best for last, or is that rather presumptious of me? Hmm...
