Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ From Friends To Lovers... ❯ Chapter 10: Unease ( Chapter 10 )

A/n: I know, it’s been a while since I’ve updated this story. Sorry, school and work not to mention a lack of inspiration. For those of you who are a tad confused just e-mail me or im me on either Yahoo or AIM and I’ll try and answer some questions. By the way Dark Ice Kitsune and Cat. I do plan on using Kurama to his fullest potential in my story. I’m sure you both know what I mean.

*From Friends To Lovers*

Chapter 10: Unease

It was amazing, wasn’t it? How people hurt others for the sake of love, and the ironic thing about it was, they don’t even know it. That was how it was most of the time. But there were other times, when a person knows exactly what their doing. Yusuke knew, even if it was on a subconscious level, he knew that Kagome felt something for him. Something deeper then just friendship. But Yusuke also believed that his love for Keiko was more important.

Sometimes love is more important than anything else, but is it truly when you lose your best friend?How is life then? They say that love is our reason for living, that without love in our life, our lives our meaningless. But isn’t the love we have for our friends and families just as important? Now perhaps Kagome was wallowing in self-pity a bit too much, but she too realized that she should be happy for her friend, because she loved him. But couldn’t she be allowed a moment of selfishness as well?

‘I hate him.’ Kagome said to herself with a frown.

But then...

‘I can’t, I don’t...How can I blame him for being in love?’

And that was also the truth. How could she? Hadn’t she been in love before him? Yes. She’d learnt her lesson then, you can’t control who your heart loves. You just have to accept it and move on, especially if the one your heart chooses is in love with someone else. She should just be happy for them, but she couldn’t. She’d accept their ‘union’, she would try to be understanding, be ‘glad’ for them. But that didn’t mean she’d forgive him, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t ache inside.

All it meant, was that she’d try.

He watched her through claret colored eyes, silently admiring her strong will. Most humans would have surely broken in such a situation, as seeing their loved one’s turn them away. But she didn’t, she pulled herself together quite nicely. The human heart had always confused him, how one could allow emotions to rule their lives, not that she was human per se, but she was once upon a time, and she still had very human emotions. But could emotions be categorized into ‘youkai’ or ‘ningen’? No, youkai were just better at hiding them.

Some humans truly disgusted him, in fact most humans disgusted him. But once in a while one comes around that truly amazes him. Even though she was Youkai by blood, she was still human in heart. Perhaps that was her saving grace. Or maybe it just made her as foolish as the rest of them. But all he knew was that, it took a lot of restraint and feeling for her to have ached as she did, fall as she did, and it took even more strength to get back on her feet again.

“ Will Kagome-neesan be all right?” Rin asked looking up at Kagome with big doe like eyes. She smiled softly at the girl who had become so close to her.

“I’ll be fine, Rin-chan. I’ll be fine.” Kagome said with a new determination.

‘I’ll survive, I’ll move on...I have no other option.’

“I’ll be fine.”

Never had she noticed the eyes watching her from the shadows, softening into something a little soft and just a tad bit scared. Maybe it was better that way.

Block, slash, duck, attack, flip, block, attack, repeat. How monotonous. Really was there no sense of excitement in the world today? How long had these silly fools attempted to harm him. Tch. Did they honestly believe they had a chance against him. Oh well, he was tired of playing with them.

Time for them to die.

With a swift burst of miasma, the entire army of men had been obliterated, their lungs exploding in their chests from the sheer intensity of the poison, his miasma eating away through their bodies. His adversaries would absolute die for it. Literally. But the question was where were they? Stepping over a dead body of what had once been a worthless opponent he absently thought to himself.

‘I wonder how the miko will break when she finds out what i’ve managed to do.’

And then he smirked maliciously and gestured for his three newest servants to come to do his bidding. Out of the shadow the figure of one woman and two men, one a hanyou emerged from the shadows.

“Come, Tajiya, Monk, Inuyasha. We have much work to do.”

Her eyes narrowed into slits. Something was wrong. Kagome in the middle of training with Kurama fell to her knees pain splitting through her head and her heart simultaneously. Crystalline eyes widened, the pain, the sorrow, the entrapment. Torture. Kagome cried out hoarsely. Something was wrong, very wrong. Something changed. Sesshoumaru was at her side instantly, everyone crowded in closer to her, trying to catch what she was saying.

“No...Sango, Miroku...No.”
