Twisted Feelings

The end of a love

 

They met in the city of love, under the moonlight, and thousands of dreams. They met by accident, coincidence, or maybe luck. Whatever it was, their paths crossed, and they knew without really knowing that they would be together forever.

She was there because of her job. She had just finished her meeting with a very important businessman. She had closed a deal, and she had a satisfied smile on her face. She had gotten what she had come for, and she did not expect to get anything else from this trip. Paris did not mean love to her. At least, not this time, and thus, the thought of finding it had not even crossed her mind.

That wasn't what she was here for.

He was there for business, but he was also there to sort out his mind. Actually, he was there to shop. He wanted to get a nice ring for his girlfriend, and he thought it would be more romantic if he bought in Paris, where love was in the air. His girlfriend would really appreciate it, and it wasn't like he didn't have the money. He loved her, well sort of. It wasn't the kind of love that burned with passion, but she made him happy, and he wanted her to be happy. To live his life with her for the rest of his life wouldn't be that hard. Actually, it wouldn't be hard at all. She worshipped him, and she would do anything to have him content. That, he thought, was the problem. She had lost herself somewhere, and he found he no longer wanted her as much as he had at first. Still, he had decided to marry her.

He never expected to find passion on that little trip.

White hair caught her attention, but when she turned to look for the owner, she found nothing. There was no white hair, and she shrugged and kept walking. There were shops and little cafés everywhere she turned, and there was something in the air that made her a little bit nervous. She was jumpy, and all the noises and people around her were doing no good to her nerves. She ignored all of this and kept walking. A young woman stopped her and asked her if she wanted some flowers, and she smiled but said no. The woman smiled a little and gave her one rose anyway. She stood there, in the middle of the street, starting at the red rose.

She felt that something very important was about to happen.

He was walking down a busy street and was more than ready to return to his stylish and silent room. All these people were irritating him, and he wished he had not come out today. He was about to turn on a corner when black hair caught his eye. It was pulled in a pony-tail, and it immediately reminded him of someone. He turned, and he saw her starting at a red rose before beginning to walk again. He followed her. He was sure that it was his girlfriend. He wondered what she was doing here. Perhaps, she had come to surprise him. He smiled. He kind of missed her.

“Kagome, what are you doing here”, he called to her, and then he put his hand on her shoulder and spun her towards him.

She felt someone's arm on her shoulder, and before she knew it, she was staring into golden eyes.

Her breath caught in her lungs.

“I…I'm sorry.” He managed to say, letting go of her as if she was on fire. “I thought you were someone else.”

She looked at him with annoyance. Really, people these days…But then she saw his white hair, and her eyes found his golden ones, and she forgot her irritation. She was sure he was the one who had caught her attention earlier.

“Who did I remind you of?”

“I…well…”

“Your girlfriend?”

He found her voice was lower that Kagome's, and it sounded prettier to him. He looked at her face. She did look like Kagome, but the woman in front of him was more delicate. She had a traditional beauty. Kagome was pretty in a wilder way. This woman, she was gorgeous, and he found himself wanting to know more and more about her.

He didn't want her brown eyes to leave his.

“I…” He didn't know what to say to make her stay. “I don't think I want her to be my girlfriend anymore.”

She smiled, and he forgot all about Kagome.

“I'm Kykio.” She said, stretching a hand towards him.

“I'm Inuyasha”. He shook her hand, and then someone pushed against her, and she stumbled into him. He caught her by the waist to steady her, and when she looked up to him, their faces were inches away.

“Thank you.”

She smiled sweetly at him, and when their eyes crossed, he felt something in his chest, and everything suddenly seemed perfect.
He laughed. God, he felt so happy. “I think we should get out of the street before something else happens.”

“I think you are right.”
”Would you like to have dinner with me?”

She smiled flirtatiously at him. “I would love too.”
And just like that, Kagome passed to a memory in his mind, and all he could think about was Kykio.

The next morning, Inuyasha awoke next to Kykio with no regrets, and he knew things between him and Kagome were over.

He had found someone much better than her.

“I wish things hadn't gone like this.”

Kykio turned, surprise in her delicate face.

“What?”

“I mean, not us, I…” Inuyasha stumbled for words, but then he said. “I don't regret that we met, and I certainly don't regret us, I just…”

Kykio's face softened. “You wish you hadn't dumped Kagome like that.”

Inuyasha looked away from her. “It wasn't fair for her. She loved me, and I loved her, in a way. We were never...there was something missing, but…I don't know. Over the months, I…she…she just…changed, but…still, to marry my brother…”

Inuyasha felt a hand on his shoulder, and he turned to look at his fiancé. “I understand. What you did to her was cruel, but…you don't have to explain”

He took her hand into his and kissed her palm. “I love you.” He said.

Kykio smiled. “I love you too.”

They stayed there, wrapped in each other's arms, slowly falling to sleep.

“Inuyasha?”

“Mmm?” He managed to respond. He was already half asleep.

“You'll never regret us, will you?”

He sat up straight, and Kykio let out a small yelp.

“Why do you ask that?”

“Its just…what you had with Kagome…It was a really long relationship, and we barely know each other, won't you, you know, regret it later?”

He laughed, and Kykio looked at him quizzically.

“What?”

“I would never regret what we have.”

“Oh?”

“I would never leave you for anyone, and I am never going to regret what we have. We are getting married, and that is it.”
He crossed his legs and arms, and Kykio smiled. He looked like a very stubborn person in that position, which was exactly what he was.

“Well, if you put it that way…”

He launched towards her and threw her to the floor, his body on top of hers.

“I do.”

His voice was husky, and Kykio wondered if the heat had suddenly gone up.

“I…I guess I have no option.” Her voice, too, was two tones lower.

“You don't.”

Inuyasha started planting kisses on her neck, and Kykio let herself go.

She forgot all about her problems. She would deal with those later.

“You'll be fine, won't you?”

“Yes, I will. They will be here for me.”
”Of course, but, you know, if you need me, or anything happens…”

“Mom will be here too.”
”Yes, of course, but still, you know my cell phone, and…”
”Kagome?”

“Yes?”

“I. Will. Be. Fine.”
”But…”

“We'll take care of him for you, Kagome, and besides, it's just one day.”

“But…”

“If anything happens, we will call you immediately.”

Kagome sighed and looked at her brother's friends. Shippo, a fox demon, whose hair was red and eyes green as jades. He was loyal to the core; though he looked a little irritated right know. Her eyes turned towards Kohaku, Sango's little brother. They were both looking at her with some exasperation, but their eyes also showed concern.

`They are worried about my brother.' She thought.
