The Beauty Of Senses~ Inuyasha X Reader

A Step, A Fall, An Interlocking Moment

"I'm surprised that you still remember me." I say quietly to Sesshomaru.

"Yes I do, Konohana-sakuya's power did not affect me." He responds, his voice slightly echoing around us.

"Well, that's not really surprising then. How are Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and everyone else? How about them?" I bring them up.

"It's only natural that you ask of them. Rin and I don't see them often, but when we do, the rarely mentioned you." Sesshomaru tells me flatly.

I feel my heart drop slightly, dread filled my being and I feel my hands go cold in an instance. I use my functional hand and I quietly hold my injured one, as somehow to help myself warm myself up from that sad news. I lower my eyes away from his sun like golden ones. A moment of silence fills the atmosphere, the wind breezes around gently.

"But they do mention that they somehow feel as if someone with an artistic vision is missing from the squad from time to time, though they cannot recall you specifically, but take that into consideration." He adds all of sudden.

I snap out of my sad thoughts and I lift my head up to look back at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looks at me, then he turns his head towards the sky. I smile.

"What is it that you want to talk to me about?" I finally ask getting to the topic of the meeting.

"To the topic of Kagome and Inuyasha. I've noticed and observed that you three have met up. How is that interaction? To see the past deceased lover of your lover standing side by side in front of you?" Sesshomaru asks hitting me hard with the fact.

"Well, what can I say? My heart clenches in sorrow when I see them together, but when I went to go find Konohanasakuya-hime, and hearing the sacrifice that was needed in order for me to regain my sight. I had to swallow my sadness and take it as it is." I answer him.

"Tell me what was the true reason that you gave up Inuyasha like that? To give him up in order to regain your sight? Was it all worth it?" He asks me again.

My eyes wonders around the moonlit field, and I inhale deeply. I lift my head to look at the bright white moon hanging high up in the ebony sky laced with dazzling splatters of diamonds.

"I never really thought much of regaining my sight after I lost it, I was able to touch, smell, taste, and hear despite losing that one sense. After meeting Inuyasha and falling in love, The first time that I met him, it was fleeting and unflattering, but when we were to depart on that first meeting, before that farewell, I had a glimpse of so much beauty and love within his golden eyes. Lost behind sorrow. I didn't think I needed my sight, because just to be able to feel his warmth through his hands and touches, to hear his strong voice, and to smell his scent, Hearing his words while being my eyes throughout the times that we were together, I was content. Then when he almost died from saving me, I was distraught, I felt helpless, I couldn't see him to see the danger that he was in. I wanted to help him even in the smallest ways, I couldn't see the symptoms and pain that he was in. I had to listen to his breathing and feeling his whole body just to find the bites that got him poisoned. I felt that at that moment, even with my remaining 4 senses that became so acute over the years.... I felt as if I lost them all. If only I could see. I never wanted to regain my sight as much as I did then, I wanted to regain my sight not for myself, but for Inuyasha. I just wanted my sight back so that I could see him again, I would trade in one of my other senses just to be able to do that. I just never thought that Konohanasakuya's requirement for my wish, were Inuysha's memories of us, and being able to have Kagome back. Was it worth it? I mean, Inuyasha gave up quite a lot for me, and for me to give Inuyasha Kagome back... to see him happy is worth everything." I explain to Sesshomaru with nostalgia.
