Lie With Me.

-The Story of a Secret-

A secret. That's all it was. A simple dark secret. I didn't want anyone to know - no, I couldn't have anyone knowing, or it would be the end of me. The End of me as in my life. But somehow…It got out, and into the wrong hands. Into HIS hands…

Chapter Nineteen

"I – Akai, Yahiko…decided it was time to disappear."

+Settling the Pain Part 2 –Actions+

"Moma! Moma!"

It had been a year since Akai and Yahiko stopped coming over to help around the apartment. In all that time I hadn't seen Sesshomaru.

Not even once.

My mother had offered that I move in with her if I ever had any issues paying for anything at all, but I never was in need of any outside help. Because someone had paid off for my living space. Someone had paid for my car, my taxes, my bills, my tuition for college…for everything.

"Momaaaa! Lookie! Is' a art!"

I looked down to the floor that was a mess with baby toys, little books, paper and crayons. That snowy October night when little Kaori came into the world was my daily nightmare…though I'm able to take care of her and attend college like I had wanted to, looking at her reminds me of everything I was forced to go through just a year before. I had tried and tried again to love my little girl since she was mine, and I was her mother…but she was also his, and he – Sesshomaru was also her father.

Whenever mother would ask me of my 'husband' I would cringe on the inside, smile on the outside and chip just a bit more, 'He always calls me, It's okay mom! He's on a business trip, remember? He travels a lot for work!'

I looked at Kaori, as she crawled onto my lap, innocently dressed in the pink summer dress I put her in. She spoke randomized words that she would usually pick up from her daycare, waving another of her pieces of 'art' to my face, "Moma! Is' a art!"

I looked at her.

She had silver hair and golden eyes.

Just like him.

And I was scared.

So, so very scared of my own infant daughter.

…Deep inside, I knew I was horrible for being so scared of her, I should care for her, she hasn't done a single thing wrong to deserve anything. She was only a baby.

But…but how will she grow-up? Ever since I learned about marriage and love, I'd prayed that my own child would one day get the chance to live with both of her parents, something I sadly did not have the luxury of having…so…even if it hurt me, why… "What right do I have to take away your own happiness, Kaori?" She simply laughed, smiling, gurgling her random words.

"Dada!"

I looked at her.

"Dada! Dada!" She looked around.

I heaved a heavy sob, and tears spilled down my cheeks.

"Its…okay, Kaori…"

This was insanity.

"We'll go and find your daddy, 'kay?"

So even after all this time, I still ended up drowning in hell.

I knew it.

Lie with Me
