An Endless Journey Of Love ~ Sesshomaru X Reader

To Love And To Forget

Morning arrives, Yorokobi and I spend time together. We went around town again to pick out makeup and new kimonos for her, it's time to doll her up before her big day. We bought some shades of lip color, and 3 new kimonos. One of them is a traditional wedding kimono in a shade of pale pink. We also bought some new hairpins. After about half the day went by and we return to her room with our parents to try on the kimono, and to see what else we need before the ceremony tomorrow. I carefully put the kimono on Yorokobi while our mother style her hair to see what kind of hairstyle will fit well. I smooth out the sleeves and the rim of the kimono and stand up with a smile, I then pick up a slightly dark pink lip color and gently dab it onto Yorokobi's lips.

"There, all done." I say stepping back to see my little sister in a wedding kimono.

"Dear, you look absolutely beautiful. Can't believe you're getting married tomorrow." Our mother says with a big smile.

"Indeed Yoroboki, you have finally grown up into a young woman and about to start her own family." Our father says with a nod.

"Thank you guys. I'm a bit nervous." Yorokobi says with a small laugh.

I walk up to her and tuck away a strand of hair behind her ear and look into her eyes.

"Experiencing something for the first time will always be nerve wrecking, but afterwards it will be an experience that can last forever in your memories. Tackle it head on, embrace it and what you do next is up to you decide after experiencing it first. Keep your head high tomorrow alright, I don't want you freaking out on one of the most beautiful day of your life. You can cry afterwards alright?" I say to her with a smile.

"You're right, I need to be brave. I want to be at my best. Thanks_________." Yorokobi says giving me a hug.

We then made some smaller adjustments and remembered the style for tomorrow. Then Yorokobi went to change and wash off the makeup to prepare for dinner. My parents and I return to my room for a talk. We all sit down in the center of my room, there's an immediate mood of seriousness.

"So what is it that you want to talk about?" I ask them.

"Well, your father and I have been talking about your future. We didn't force you to find a lord before your trip, and we didn't want to bring up the topic after you came back. But then seeing that your sister have found someone and going to be married tomorrow, we begin to worry about the day when you'll find that special someone." My mother tells me with a slight frown.

"I understand your worries, I mean at my age of 25 I should be worried. Seeing Yorokobi getting married before me does seem a bit ridiculous doesn't it?" I say with a half hearted laugh.

"Your mother told me that you don't want to wait for a lord to come pick you up, and you said that you hope that you can find someone along the trip. May we ask if you did?" My father asks me.

As I hear those words, he comes into my mind. I mentally let out a sigh... just as I thought I'm on the process of forgetting him.

"Well I did met someone... but I realized that we are two completely different people. So I let him go." I tell them honestly.

They look at each other with a frown and then back at me.

"We're sorry about that dear, it must've been hard to fall in love with someone and to in the end leave them." My mother says.

"It was hard, but it was just an one sided crush on my half. I'll get over it soon. Don't worry." I say to them with a half smile.

"Well how about this, how about a matchmaking session with some of the young lords around the region?" My father suggests.
