InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rewinding time ❯ Eight years and still counting ( Chapter 1 )

Hello dear readers of mine! Influenced by the success of my mini story `To see your smile' I have decided to use the same format but this time to write a story from Sesshomarou's point of view! Yikes, hope I'll do well…

 

Summary: AU Eight years ago Sesshomarou left Kagura without a word. Now, could a chance meeting in a bar rekindle their old flame? And what is this secret she tries to keep from him?

 

 

TO HAVE YOU BACK

 

 

Part I: Eight years and still counting

 

Disclaimer: I don't own neither Inuyasha nor the song “I knew I loved you” by Savage Garden.

 

 

*Flashback: July 27th 2000*

 

 

“You know Kagura it was nice of you to let me have my party at your place” I said as we finally finished cleaning up. It must have been around five o'clock in the morning. Who knew a bunch of teenagers could create such a mess?

 

“I know right? Doesn't it entitle me for the girlfriend of the year award?” she asked me with her adorable smirk on her red lips. Gods I love her lips.

 

“All done, ready for your birthday present Sesshy?” She asked me.

 

“You already gave me a watch” I remarked furrowing my brows. Because of her trademark mischievous smile playing on her lips I felt like she was up to no good. But the damn girl started pouting, she knew I could not resist it. Damn witch! So I simply nodded once and followed her to her bedroom.

 

“Okay Sesshy, now close your eyes” she said before putting her hand on the door knob of the red door. Red had always been her favorite colors, maybe because of her eyes?

 

“Do you really expect this Sesshomarou to do such a thing?”

 

Kagura started playing with her waist long black hair. She tried to convince me to grow my silver hair as long as hers. Crazy wench, as if I would do something so inconvenient.

 

“Yes, this Kagura does. Otherwise that Sesshomarou is going to ruin the fabulous surprise this Kagura has been working on!” she said stomping her right foot to emphasize her point. She always did that before she got really mad at me.

 

It's not that I fear her or anything, it's just that it would be rather annoying to have my girlfriend of basically forever, but technically two years be mad at me on the day of my seventeenth birthday.

 

I remember the first day we met, we were in first grade. Kagura claimed that cooties did not exist and some classmates dared her to prove it by kissing a boy. God only knows why she chose me out of the entire bunch. All the other girls, and boys too I have to admit were scared of me. Until then, the only thing remotely close to a friend I ever had had been Bankotsu, but since his father was an employee of mine, I guess it helped.

 

But Kagura she was different from everyone else, just like me I guess. We started out hating each other. But she said she would stick with me until I'd admit I liked her because she knew I did. To be honest I always loved her, since the second she dared press her lips on my cheeks, but that I would never tell her.

 

Two years ago we were hanging out a Friday night as we did every single Friday when Kagura informed me during dinner that we were on a date. I didn't really mind, it just seemed natural. And we've been dating ever since.

 

“Sesshomarou Kichiro Inutaishio close your fucking eyes now! I ain't got all night!” she yelled at me. Damn, I'm not deaf, I was just thinking. Of course I narrowed my eyes at her and sent her a glare, the kind of glare that not only takes years to master but scares the hell out of people. As expected it had no effect on her, guess I do spend too much time with her.

 

Kagura stood there arms crossed on her chest, crimson eyes burning into my eyes.

Since she just used my full name I could tell she was really pissed, whatever was behind the red door had to be something really special. I mean I`ve basically seen her room more than a million times since I've known her.

 

I repressed the urge to sigh and decided to humor her. I closed my amber eyes and waited. Kagura giggled and kissed me on the nose. I knew she had to reach on the tip of her toes to do that, since she was so much shorter than me.

 

“Was that it?” I asked her sarcastically.

 

“No, that was for being a good puppy” she answered me, quickly kissing me on the cheek.

 

I growled but before I could say anything I heard a door open and close. I opened my eyes to see that Kagura had retreated to her bedroom. I tried the door knob, but of course the little wind witch had locked the door behind her.

 

I waited for a few seconds and as I was about to knock on the door, I heard a click and knew that I could finally see the mysterious surprise she had in store for me.

 

And what a surprise it was! Kagura was standing in front of me with nothing on but a pair of red boxer shorts on. Her stereo was playing the song she a month ago declared without my permission was ours: `I knew I loved you' by Savage Garden.

 

I did not know how to react as she had caught me completely off guard. Once again she had managed to unsettle me. Being the gentleman that I am, I tried my best not to look down at her bare breasts, but I'm a guy after all…

 

“Kagura, what are you doing?” I managed to finally ask her.

 

“Well isn't it obvious? Are you just trying to ruin the atmosphere or what? That's your birthday present.”

 

“I take it you are not talking about the boxers?” I asked, keeping my cool demeanor.

 

Kagura sent me a death glare, but none the less she advanced towards me. She put her right hand on my cheek and caressed my lower stripe with her thumb. Her other hand also reached up, and she cradled my head in both hands before kissing me tenderly on the lips.

 

Once we separated from our kiss, Kagura looked straight in my eyes and spoke:

 

“Sesshomarou, I love you more than anything. You're my best friend and I know I will always love you. Now and forever” she then emphasized her words with another kiss.

 

“Kagura are you sure?” I asked her as she started dragging me towards her bed.

 

“Don't worry my parents aren't coming back before two days and Bankotsu told your mom you're staying at his place. I really want to, but before I need you to tell me”. She said with shimmering red orbs.

 

I knew what she wanted me to admit and said “Kagura, I love you too. Now and forever” I then kissed her deeply. She smiled and we fell back on her bed laughing.

 

That night we shared something incredible, it was fantastic. But it was only one night…

 

*End of Flashback*

 

It had been eight years and still this simple memory could make me feel so many emotions.

 

I knew I had to get up and get ready, my stupid brother would be here any minute. This dream managed to haunt me even while I took a mere nap, pathetic! Why can't I just forget about this wind witch?!

 

This question was still running through my head as I got dressed. As expected my idiotic brother did not ring the bell as any civilized being would, but kept knocking at the door like a mad man.

 

“Inuyasha, you imbecile stop this ruckus at once!” I ordered as soon as I opened the door. Truth is I was not in a good mood, and taking it all out on my brother had always been a nice way to vent.

 

“Keh! Ain't my fault you're not answering your door fast enough! Anyway you're ready? Miroku's already waiting for us at the restaurant” my brother said.

 

“Let us go then” I answered taking my car keys, Hell would freeze over before I would ever let Inuyasha drive me around.

 

“Feh! I've been waiting for you.”

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

As expected I was sitting with my glass of whisky bored out of my mind. I glanced to the side and saw my brother and his lecherous best friend drinking and laughing. And to think it was MY twenty-fifth birthday we were celebrating…

 

“Shouldn't our ladies be here by now?” the lecher also known as Miroku said taking a sip of his beer.

 

“Yeah, well you know them they take so much time to get ready. Anyway isn't it time we tell Sessh about our little gift for him?” I really did not like the light in my brother's eyes as he said that.

 

“Oh I believe it is!” Seeing the lecher so excited was not reassuring me one bit.

 

I really wanted to know what the hell they had in store for me, but I knew very well that if I started asking them they would only tease me. So I stayed silent and waited for these idiots to finally say what they were going to put me through.

 

I do remember that the last time they both had such a mischievous look in their eyes, was when they hired a bunch of strippers for my bachelor's party. Of course I sent the girls home with a generous tip and spent a nice evening reading and sleeping.

 

“Aren't you trying to at least guess? Sesshomarou you can take the fun out of anything” my brother's best friend said to me.

 

“Yeah that's because of the stick shoved up his …” Inuyasha never got to finish that sentence. I was waiting for him to finish and then I would have beaten the hell out of him, but his girlfriend beat me up to it.

 

“Inuyasha! I swear if you finish that sentence…” Kagome did not even need to finish uttering her threat. Gods only knew what hold she exactly had on him, but it never failed to work.

 

“Oh! Sango my love you have finally arrived. But where is your pretty friend from work?” Miroku asked taking his girlfriend's hands in his. As I predicted a few seconds later she slapped him, the pervert really could not help himself…

 

“Well, she said she should be here any second. I'm sure Sesshomarou and her will get along great” Kagome said.

 

I cocked an eyebrow waiting for an explanation, even if none was needed. Ever since my divorce three years ago, those idiots have tried to pair me with several different females. As if I would be interested!

 

I quickly reconsidered when I heard a familiar feminine voice. I may have been years but I would never forget this voice.

 

“Kagome, Sango. I'm sorry I'm late guys!”

 

My heartbeat increased, and for once I experienced fear and doubt. Was it her? Was it really her? I could not believe it, but I had to be sure. I turned around and could not believe my eyes:

 

Kagura?!

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: Pfft that was long! So how was it? Loved it? Hated it? Leave me a review. About the song, it fitted the time period (the year 2000) and it was the nice description of the couple in the story. Oh and I also like the song. The next part will be named The chase is on!

 

 

 

 

Lyrics of `I knew I love you' by Savage Garden

 

 

Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
