Demires: The Love Of An Enemy
Six: Inuyasha
Am I kicking myself mentally for saying that right now? Yep.
And I'm not really scolding myself for saying it then...just how it came out. I'm nearly begging her, but really...is there anything else for me to do? She can't understand that I love her, yes, love her...
I've figured that much out in the past night.
You're probably wondering how I can practically fall in love with a woman in one night.
First of all, it's not just tonight that she herself has made my stomach do flips. But now...now that I've finally spoken to her, spoken to her about things that matter, kissed her, felt her eyes gaze into mine; it's all made every feeling stronger.
I think I feel a tear at my eye. I can't let her know that I'm crying...so I hold back the tears, and wait patiently for the answer to my question.
Silence - long, almost awkward silence as she just stares into my eyes.
I see her try to speak, but nothing comes out. Damn, I wish she'd just respond to what I said.
Finally she speaks. "Inuyasha...I...I don't know..."
Oh, yes, because that's what I wanted to hear.
Not that I could expect much more or anything, though.
More silence.
"You can't do any more than that," she nearly whispers, finally breaking the silence. "Nothing we do will work. We don't work."
"Kagome," I say as softly as I can. "Do you understand that I would give anything to be human again? Anything to be with you?"
She swallows, and then says, "I...I thought you hated me..."
"No," I say. "You thought I did, but I don't. Do you know how long I've loved you? And tonight...now that we've talked, now that we've cleared almost everything up...I love you even more if that's possible."
My head's reeling with nervousness. Please say what I want you to...
"I...I don't know what to say," she responds. "I'm flattered somewhat...I think...and I want you to know that I love you, too. But no matter what we do, nothing will work between us. Nothing will ever work between us; no matter how bad either of us wants it to." She turns away and stares at her feet, closing her eyes every once and while.
Silence.
And all this time I'm trying to think of a way that I can have her; that she can have me; that we can both be happy, if it's really what she wants.
"Want to go outside?" she asks suddenly, as if just remembering she wanted to.
I nod, and we walk out the door together, Kagome stealing a glance at my friend to make sure he's okay on the way out.
She heavily sighs when the cool air of the night engulfs us both and says, "So..." Her voice is a mere whisper; almost like she's finding it hard to talk.
There's a long moment of silence. Nothing awkward...just silence. I glance at her, to find that she is just gazing into the many million eyes of the sky. So beautiful...
"Kagome...what exactly do you want me to do?" I ask softly, breaking the seemingly never-ending silence.
She looks up at me, and I see that her eyes are brimming with tears, each one threatening to fall.
"Don't cry," I whisper.
"And how can I not?" she says quickly, almost defensively. "Nothing, Inuyasha, I want you to do nothing. What can you do to make this all work?"
"I could -"
"No!" she nearly shouts. "I want it to work for the both of us, not just you."
I just glance at her, hurt by what she said, even if it wasn't offensive. To me, the only thing that would work, would be for me to -
"I'm sorry," she says, breaking my train of thought. "It's just that..."
I wrap my arms around her and hold her close. "I know," I whisper. "I didn't mean to offend you...it's just that...that turning you seems to be the only thing that makes the littlest bit of sense."
She lets out a small, forced laugh. "Yeah, because I want to go around killing everyone."
"Make some of that serum shit, or whatever you're using on my friend. Do you even have a name for that stuff?" I ask. Great job, Inuyasha. Change the subject.
I feel her shake her head and I feel a tear fall on my skin.
"Kagome, don't cry," I repeat.
"Inuyasha...would you stop saying that? I'll cry whenever the hell I want to. Besides, what else is there to do? I want to be with you - don't get me wrong - but I can't be turned. I just can't bring myself to it. No offense to you, but I just can't go around killing people like that!" She buries her face in her hands and slides down the side of the house to her knees.
But she's not crying.
Just thinking.
Hopefully, she's thinking about my offer; even though it's something she doesn't want to do. Maybe, she's really considering it, because maybe, it's the only thing that will work.
