An Endless Journey Of Love ~ Sesshomaru X Reader

Heartfelt Talks To Accompany The Journey

When I open my eyes, the sun is up and the chirping of the birds signalling morning has arrived. I sit up from my futon and stretch, I rub my eyes and let my brain register everything. Today is the last day I'll be staying here, the place where my childhood started and ended. I stand up and pack all of my things, not much is needed to where I'll be going. I pack my koto, the perfume bottle, the wooden box, some big blankets, and the wedding kimono. I fold up my futon and place it neatly in the corner of my room. I grab my casual kimono and head to wash up. I bathed and freshened up, I then head to the eating hall like always. My parents are up already and seated, our breakfast is still being set.

"Morning everyone." I greet my parents and the maids.

"Good morning__________." My mother greets me back.

Our maids bowed to me as a greeting, I then sit down on my mat. We then start eating breakfast together.

"Are everything packed?" My mother asks me.

"Yes, I don't have much to take with me except for some precious belongings." I reply.

"That's good, what are you planning on doing afterwards while you wait for Sesshomaru?" My father asks me.

"I'm not sure to be honest, I already packed my koto so I don't want to take it out again. I guess walking around town for a bit will be nice, I mean, I'll be leaving this place so it's nice to take in the beauty of where I grew up one last time before I go." I tell them with a smile.

"I suppose that'll be nice. You've grown up and lived here for your whole life, 26 years of seeing the same thing can become dull, but seeing it one last time before leaving it, you can perhaps find something new and interesting that you might have missed in those years." My mother says.

"You're right mother, I'd like to create as much memories as I can before I depart and start on a new chapter of my life." I say with a big smile.

"You sound like you'll never come back___________, although we don't know where this place is, but I'm sure it's a place that means more to you than you know. Just remember to visit once in a while. Don't think about us too much though, because the new chapter of your life is focused on you and the choices and path that you'll take, don't let your lingering childhood prevent you from making your future decisions. " My father says with a small laugh.

"Yes father, I know I made it sound like I'm going to abandon this place but I'll never. I'm just putting it in my memories with parts of my happiness and childhood, I'll pull it out and think about it once in a while. Now that I said all that, I'm afraid I'll become homesick." I say with a slight frown.

"We're all bound to leave our parents sooner or later, of course LATER would be the best. It's alright to feel homesick, it's part of taking a step forward into life. You can feel homesick, but remember to find that strength to move forward with independence and strong will. Where you'll be going, it seems like you'll never be alone. You told us that the people there are like your second family, let them fill in the gap that's here. Besides, you have a husband now and soon, you'll have a family of your own." My mother tells me with a smile.

I blush at the last part but I nod.

"Thanks for the life lesson mother and father. I'll keep them all in mind." I say with a smile.

We finished our last breakfast together for the time being, I walk out and step out under the sun. I open the front gate to our estate and inhale deeply of the morning air, I smooth out my kimono and head into town. As I walk through town, I realize I'm paying attention to everything around me more. It is true, you tend to focus more and pay more attention to a place that you love when you're about to leave it. People are out and about, selling goods, buying goods, eating, etc. The beautiful weather makes the scene even more beautiful. I then head to the nearby field just outside of the town where Sesshomaru found me that night. The field has bloomed with flowers, I'm the only one here. It's serene, I close my eyes and take a deep breath of the fresh air.
