InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Interference ❯ The Letter ( Chapter 1 )

AN: This is a week of new stories for me. I've already posted an original fic, a Teen Titans fic, and now I'm finally doing an InuYasha fic. All of these are firsts, so they might possibly suck, but my hopes are high, so please don't bring them crashing down. Okay, so this first chapter is about Kagome and the next is the group and basically the plot…Not that there is much of one. That said, this isn't a very long work of fiction. It has very few chapters and I doubt there is a lot of character development. I guess I'm basically saying it's a quick romance, so if you like that sort of thing like I do, enjoy!

 

Interference

 

Kagome was puzzled. Kagome was confused. Kagome wanted to know what the hell was going on. Reading the letter in her hands for what must've been the millionth time, Kagome decided that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

 

Earlier that morning Kagome had found a letter propped against her rolled up sleeping bag. The paper it was written on was her notebook paper, accessible to each member of the group. Intrigued, Kagome unfolded the sheet of paper and read the first line, only to feel her cheeks flame bright red. Checking the bottom of the paper, Kagome found that there was no signature. However judging by the greeting, she knew she could safely say the letter had not come from Shippou or Sango. That left Miroku and…InuYasha.

 

Her first reaction had been to shrug it off as a joke, but after reading the rest of the letter her second reaction was: did InuYasha write this? The epistle was beautifully written, and even though Kagome knew her hanyou was able to write, and not as stupid and gruff as everyone thought, she still had a hard time believing he would be able to voice his deepest feelings to her in such a way.

 

Unsure of what she should do, Kagome unfolded the letter and read it again, as if it would share some new clue she hadn't found before.

 

To my angel,

 

I know I might have said horrible things to you these past few years, but believe me when I say I never meant a word of them. You are a true angel of beauty, of light, of happiness. Every good memory I have of our group includes you. I know I may not show it, but you are also the angel of my heart. And although I hate to bring up this name in a letter about you I must. Kikyou.

 

Over fifty years ago I met Kikyou and agreed to change myself for her. Over fifty years ago we were betrayed and I was sealed to a tree. But then, another priestess of another kind, came and released me from a sleep that should have gone on forever. And in these past three years I've been with the priestess, I've learned things. I've learned that trust is hard to relearn, but it is possible. I've learned that friends are an amazing thing, once you gain them. I've learned that depending on other people is not always a bad thing and it does not make a person weak. But most of all, I've learned what real love is. It is because of these things I've learned and you that I've realized that what Kikyou and I shared was a young love. If our love had been given time, we might've been satisfied. However, I don't think we would've been truly happy because we wanted different things. Kikyou always wanted me to be human and I always wanted to be accepted. Now I know that I am accepted. Kikyou will always be a part of me and she will always have a place in my heart as my first love, but you will always have my heart.

 

I want to thank you. You deserve to be honored. You are such a beautiful person. Even when Kikyou nearly killed you, you never would tell me because you thought it would be unfair to Kikyou and to me. You're always doing things like that. How can you be so wonderful? I'll never forget the day you said you'd stay by my side. My Angel, you will never know how much that means to me…

 

I know I never say the right things and I'm not able to give you what you deserve, but I love you and I always will. You see me as someone worth something. When I look at you, I see how much you accept me, and even though I curse and can be a baka, you still care about me. I love you, Kagome. I just wanted you to know that.

 

As the letter did not give her anymore insight, Kagome decided the best course of action would be to go home and talk to her mother. Something about the letter rang false. She just had to figure out what it was. Getting her things together and saying goodbye to her friends, Kagome was almost glad that InuYasha was not there. There were things she needed to figure out…
