The Beauty Of Senses~ Inuyasha X Reader

Collaging Fragments Piece By Piece

I stand up and I smile, they smile as they come up slowly and stopping a few feet in front of me.

"Looks like I get to see the great "Blindfolded Butterfly" in action doing what she's great at." They say.

"Thanks Kagome, honestly I think I'm just mediocre at best, I think a lot of people hyped me up too much." I say with a bit of embarrassment.

"Let's sit down and catch the last bit of sunlight, I would like to chat with you for a bit as well." Kagome says.

"Sure." I nod with a smile.

Kagome gently takes my right hand into hers, her skin has that slight aged feeling, and they are also cool to the touch. Her silk priestess bottom rustles along the grass, the two of us both turn towards the far mountains among the horizon and we sit down. Kagome takes the sketch of Inuyasha and holds it up against the sun, I look at her profile, a gentle smile laces her face as she gazes at the drawing. A sense of nostalgia ripples through me, I wonder how I looked at Inuyasha when I would "gaze" at him back then with love, and I wonder if he could see my love for him through my blind eyes.

"I have had my fair share of art viewing in my early days, and I have to say you have amazing skills and techniques_______. Never underestimate yourself, always have confidence and continue what you do." Kagome tells me.

"I know, but sometimes I wonder if it's something that I want to do....to just continue making art for the rest of my life without really having it going anywhere." I say with a sigh.

"Well, what do you specialize in again?" She asks.

"I specialize in portraits of people, but once in a while I would like to go out of my comfort zone and do landscapes and such." I tell her.

"I see, and when you do portrait of people, what do you get to experience from it and what do you learn from the people you sketch or sketch for?" She continues.

Her question seems to intrigue me deeply, I don't think I've ever asked myself that, it's a first. I furrow my brows as I think.

"I learn a lot about the person, not just by their facial structures but also feelings? There was this one person that I met a few years back, they were a pretty hotheaded person, very closed off about their feelings and past. Although difficult to interact with but I was able to draw a portrait for them. It was a person that was very dear to them, but they were not in the living world anymore. I asked them to explain that person to me, their appearance, and that of their personality. I was able to see through that person's closed off facade, and had a glimpse into their broken soul. In that moment, I was able to allow that person to recall their past memories and allowing me to etch them down, and helping them to start moving past a big obstacle in their life. Through art, a person can create new emotions and teach people about themselves and that of life." I explain to her.

"I see, through your art, it looks like it helped quite a few people. Perhaps, you can teach others?" Kagome suggests.

I blink and I turn my head completely to look at her. Teach?

"Teach? Me, teach?" I ask her with a slight chuckle while waving my hands side to side.

"Why not? I don't think I've encountered many art teachers in this era, The only artists are those high class artists that draws for nobles. There are many young ones in our village, perhaps you can teach them when we get back." Kagome says with a big smile.

I look down at my hands, I look at my dominant hand, I try to stretch my fingers open, the scars still runs through my hand, the feelings are still numb. I'm still trying to switch my dominance onto my other hand, it's still a struggle for me. I basically have to relearn everything anew for myself, how can I teach others with where I am now?
