"What are we doing here?" You ask me, as I walk through the forest and bushes to the place I'm guiding you to.
"You'll see." I smile, and hope you can glimpse through my voice the meaning of my smile.
"You're being so mysterious today... "You mention, and I smile a bit more. I know that's your phrase for when you don't want to show how your curiosity is killing you; albeit you also use it when disbelief fills your pupils or love raids your heart with no warning.
"I'm glad you realize." This time I turn around slightly so that you can see my smile, as I take the chance to look at your eyes and features; charming myself with them.
I return my gaze to the path at the same time I hear you huff, simulating an indifference I know you don't have in you. Many times, when we had just met, I believed those words or gestures to be born from disdain and disinterest; until I began to know you, and to identify the way your emotions show due to an overflow of them, as you have so many you wouldn't be able to do it otherwise.
"An onsen?" you ask.
I already knew I wouldn't be able to reach the place before you caught its scent.
"Yes."
"And why come so far? We have one that's nearer." Your doubt doesn't lack its logic; however I don't answer it immediately.
I walk decisive, because I know my determination goes hand in hand with my shyness. You follow me and don't ask anything else, maybe your thoughts have connected to mine in that beautiful way that sometimes marvels us.
We come out through the trees in the moment the steam begins to be felt in the air, and I feel a strange mix between calm and unrest. In the end, I look at you face to face, again.
"It's here." I say, not managing to explain why I wanted to come here.
We are at a small onsen that's surrounded by bushes and trees, remaining out of sight quite easily, leaving space for intimacy.
"I see." You say and I believe you understand, yet you also don't add anything else.
I look into your eyes and part my lips to breathe and make an attempt to tell you my idea about experimenting something new, which I lucubrated many times; however, I'm unable to, and I decide to just show you what I want. So, I grab the lace of your kosode and begin to undo it, my gaze fixed on my hand's movements. You stop them with yours and I feel how my whole body tenses before the idea of being rejected. The time we've been intimating hasn't been long, barely a few months, and albeit I always feel comfortable around you, I still haven't been able to break through that initial fear of not being the moment, or that you may not accept my advances.
With your other hand you lift my chin so that our eyes may met.
"InuYasha..." I mutter your name, with a certain timidity.
"Ask it." You tell me, as if you know how hard it is for me to do so. I refuse with a short shake of my head. "Kagome..."
The tone of your voice is an open door for me, and in that moment, I comprehend that when you love someone, the heart simply answers to that vision of what's loved, and in that point, it blossoms to everything new.
The new was never the onsen, it was always just you and I.

Just a little picture of InuYasha and Kagome's life.
Kisses,
Anyara.
