Trembling hands clench on his sides, one was clutching a pointed weapon. Red irises which had a pinwheel like pupils observed his surroundings, the cries of his enemies died down as they were enveloped by black fire. Soon, crows scattered before the man disappeared.
"Shisui!"
Black pupils constrict as the lids that cover voluntarily open, bright lights enter his cornea that pass towards his retina, which visualizes a greenery meadow and bright rays from the sun. It was a peaceful scene, he thought, disregarding the shout he heard from before.
He felt free, his heart was calm. Soon, it began to pound louder on his ears as he reminisced the pain felt from his body, and betrayal he experienced on that day. 'That bast-' clenching his fist before folding them in his lap as he recalls the voice of the old man who hides an evil scheme involving his clan, and his sworn friend whom he entrusted with his eye. Loud footsteps and a rustle of leaves brushing to one another halted his thoughts, soon a pale hand was within his sight, following its trails he soon found himself looking at a pair of azure eyes.
"Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"WAH!" falling on his back as shock overcame him. Soon, laughter surrounded them at the comical action.
"H-hey!"
"What are you doing, Shisui? Still tired?" at the teasing tone, he glared at her before it softened. Looking at Kagome, he focuses on the day he was relieved from burden and was gifted with sight. Smiling at her, before sighing.
Kagome sat beside him, as she felt that something's worrying him.
"Neh, Kagome…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember that day you found me?" asking her before staying silent. Nodding at his question, she remembers the day she learned his name and his enemy.
Closing her eyes, her eyeballs move rapidly behind her lid, as flashes of scenarios run through her. Witnessing his suffering from post traumatic stress disorder - his reactions towards the triggers - before she knew it, it's been 5 years since they reside in that area and months since his rehabilitation, helping him cope, later on, learning to adapt.
Reaching for his hand, she clasps it tightly before scooting closer.
"You will be okay" nodding at her before squeezing her hand back.
"Yeah… thank you, Kagome"
Looking at their hands, she nods back.
'Yes, we will be okay'
