Chapter Twenty
Thor watched Raine for nearby, he was too far away to hear what they were saying but he knew what had happened just by looking. Obviously the deceased was someone closed to his Raine's heart otherwise she wouldn't have been on her knees crying. He hated the fact that he could not be there to comfort her but he knew he had to stay hidden if their affair was to remain a secret.
He had to give her credit for her performance when her husband arrived. Thor had never known she was such a good liar. The fake tears was the icing on the cake, her husband bought it hook, line and sinker. The tears that ran down her smooth, olive cheeks this time however, were genuine. If only he could just come out of hiding and go over there and hold her and comfort her with loving words and actions. He sighed. If only.
*oOo*
Mika was in her room sleeping, since she had nothing better to do, when she smelt him. The man that held her heart and had her undying love for all eternity. Her Sesshomaru. He was back. She was so excited!
She jumped out of bed and ran down to the entrance of the palace. Sesshomaru didn't even have time to say “konnichiwa” when she jumped on him making him fall backwards. She turned turned his face to hers and planted a big wet kiss on his luscious pink lips and kissed him all over his face like she hadn't seen him in a thousand years.
“I-missed-you-so-much.” She said between kisses.
“I missed you too.” Sesshomaru said.
Miraculously, Sesshomaru was able to get up but the was problem was that he couldn't get Mika off of him. The more he tried to pull her off his body, the tighter she hugged him which meant the less oxygen he received from the air. He grabbed Mika's sides and pulled and tugged to get her off but she still held on. It wasn't like he didn't miss her but the lack of air was making him dizzy and his face was blue.
“Mika-I-can't-breath,” He said gasping but she didn't seem to be listening because she squeezed him tighter with her legs wrapped around his waist. “The-children.”
With the mention of her pups, Mika jumped off of Sesshomaru and pulled them into a literal bone crushing hug. Sesshomaru took a deep breath, taking in the oxygen he had longed for. He knew that their pups would get her off of him. Now he had to get her off of the pups so that she didn't kill them.
“Okaasan-I-can't-breath.” Shiaka and Malique said in unison.
Sakura, InuYasha's daughter, had managed to gather the herbs necessary to brew a tea to ease Shiaka and Malique's heat cycle and also a sort of youkai repellent to get Shiaka home safely.
“I missed my babies.” Mika said. Then an all too familiar scent reached her nose. Soon enough Thor arrived.
Mika forgot all about how much she missed Shiaka and Malique and went to hug him. As he carried his mother inside, since she refused to let him go, his twin younger siblings told him of what a great battle he missed.
*oOo*
Romy let go of Yosuke and went over to the horse where Chimu's body was. She just couldn't believe her husband was gone. They had been married for twenty-eight years and in that time he fought in other wars and every time she was worried sick, expecting some one to tell her that he had died and no one ever did, but this time her worst nightmare became a reality. She didn't know what she would do without him.
She knelt on the ground, her head level to his which flopped so limply by the horse's side. She took his hands and slowly pulled him off the horse, resting his dead body on her lap. She didn't mind the blood staining her kimono, all that matter was that the man in her arms. She brushed the hair from his face to get one last look at the man she loved for most of her life.
Romy never imagined that their marriage would end this way; she always pictured them growing old together and dying together. She never pictured herself without Chimu by her side. It seemed impossible for her to live without him. In all her life she never thought she would experience such pain.
At that moment she felt empty inside, like someone had reached into her heart and ripped out her beating heart. How could the gods be so unkind? She wasn't a saint but she did not believe she deserved to have the love of her life taken from her so abruptly. She wanted her Chimu back. She couldn't live without him. Without him she had no soul. She was...hollow.
Yosuke watched his mother's actions. He too was devastated by his father's death. He just couldn't believe or understand why he had been taken from them. Who would he talk to when he and Raine were having problems? Who could he ask about their opinion on the best first anniversary present? They say that with every wedding there is a funeral and to Yosuke it always sounded funny but now it seemed like and insane twist of humor.
“I'll be back okay?” He said to Raine. She nodded, tears running down her cheeks.
He slowly let her go and rose to his feet, walking over to his mother and kneeling beside her. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and kissed her cheek.
“Come okaasan, lets go inside.” He said trying to get his mother away from his father.
“No, I can't leave him.” Romy said.
“Okaasan we must go inside.” He said trying hard not to cry.
“No.” Romy said sniffling.
“Okaasan, he is,” Yosuke just couldn't bring himself to say that last word. Saying it only made it official, saying it only made this whole situation real. He took a deep breath. “he is in Ama now.”
Reluctantly, Romy allowed Yosuke to take her away from Chimu. As they walked into their home, he stopped to help up Raine. Romy buried her face in his chest and cried her broken heart out. When they entered the house all the servants were lined in the hallway and bowed as they passed. Yosuke ordered one of the male servants to prepare for Chimu's cremation. At the mention of her dead husband, Romy began to cry even worse.
Yosuke stopped in front of his bedroom door and slid open the door. “Raine I know you need me right now but my mother needs me even more. As much as I want to be with you right now I have to look after my mother. Will you be okay by yourself?” He asked. Again Raine nodded. Yosuke kissed her forehead and continued to his mother's room.
Raine slid the door closed and sat on her bed. Still absorbing the news of her father-in-law's passing. The fact still hadn't quite sunken in. Her father-in-law was gone; the one person in that house that she liked was gone. She never really talked to him or anything by the was a great man and it was a great loss. From the first time she saw Chimu, Raine loved him. And now he was gone.
*oOo*
Later that evening, after Yosuke got his mother to calm down and eventually to sleep, he stopped by his room to see how Raine was doing. Not only was he concerned with her emotional state, but with his; he needed someone to talk to and to comfort him like any other normal person would.
When he slid open the door he saw Raine lying on her side with her back to him. As far as he could see she had a cloth in her hand, no doubt soaked in tears. He sat beside her, the bed sinking with his weight but she didn't move and inch. All she did was stare into space. Yosuke changed his position and was now lying beside her, facing her.
“You okay?” He asked.
Raine cleared her throat and sniffled. “Yeah I'm fine. It just brings back some memories.” She said.
Yosuke stroked her cheek. “About your mother?” He asked. She nodded.
Raine could see it in his eyes, Yosuke wanted to cry as much as she did and Romy did, but for some reason he wasn't. His father just died for Kami's sake why on earth wasn't he crying? In a time like this he couldn't be acting all “manly” and thinking that men don't cry. Why in Kami's name were they capable of doing this if they weren't supposed to? He couldn't be thinking like that now. So why wasn't he crying?
Then she remembered how she felt the night her mother died. Being the oldest of four she didn't want her younger siblings to see her cry. She wanted to be strong for them and show them that she was okay and they would be okay. She was afraid that if they saw that she was hurting that they would feel even worse.
“Come here,” She said to Yosuke opening her arms to hug him. “Are you okay?” She asked when his head hit her chest.
“I'm fine.” He said.
“No you're not.” Raine said.
“Yes I am.” He said.
“No you're not.” She said.
“Yes I am.” He almost shouted.
Sensing this, Raine lowered her voice and started to stroke his hair. “You aren't Yosuke.” She said.
This time he was silent and there was a long moment of silence between them. Then almost out of nowhere Yosuke said : “It's not fair.” Raine felt the front of her kimono dampen.
Raine shushed him and stroked his hair. “You'll be okay just let it all out. It'll do you some good.” She said.
Yosuke grabbed her kimono and buried his face deeper into her chest as he cried harder. “It's not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair.” He sobbed.
When Yosuke calmed down they went outside to witness Chimu's cremation. Romy did not attend, it was just too painful. As Chimu's body burned, the villager's prayed and Yosuke and Raine just stared at the dancing flames with blank expressions on their faces. Myoko had agreed to sing at the ceremony.
Chimu would be greatly missed.
Thor watched Raine for nearby, he was too far away to hear what they were saying but he knew what had happened just by looking. Obviously the deceased was someone closed to his Raine's heart otherwise she wouldn't have been on her knees crying. He hated the fact that he could not be there to comfort her but he knew he had to stay hidden if their affair was to remain a secret.
