The Beauty Of Senses~ Inuyasha X Reader

Seeing Past The Facade

I bite my lips as I don't hear anything from the two brothers, I guess running won't do me any good. I take a deep breath and I step out from behind the hut.

"I'm sorry, I was out looking for you two because you both left without saying anything, I wanted to see if you were both alright. I got lost and I happened to hear voices, didn't realize they belong to yours until I got close enough to hear...and it eventually lead to me eavesdropping." I tell them straight out.

"We are fine, no need to be concerned. I notice that you are unable to see, it is late Inuyasha, guide her back to her place." I hear Sesshomaru reply back with a controlled and elegant tone.

I then hear him walk away and Inuyasha grumbling, I hold tightly to my walking stick as I hear someone approaching me. My walking stick gets lifted up with a jerk, and then it pulls me to turn around.

"Let's go." I hear Inuyasha say with irritation in his voice.

I didn't say anything as I follow after him, I can almost feel the anger that is radiating off his body. Our footsteps crunches in the snow, I hold tightly to the walking stick so I won't fall. We walk for a while, until I feel him stop and drop my walking stick.

"We're here, I'll see you tomorrow." He says with a flat expressionless tone.

I then hear him turn around and begin to walk away, without thinking I reach out to grab onto him. My fingers opens up and I touch soft fabric, I quickly close my fingers around it.

"Wait." I say urgently.

I feel the fabric tug a bit and then stop I think I got the sleeves of his kimono.

"What?" I hear him respond with irritation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Sesshomaru. Although I've eavesdropped, but I can't help but notice that the conversation was hard for you. So, if there's anything that I can help you..." I say to him.

"No...It's fine. I don't need any help. Now go inside before your face freezes." Inuyasha replies back with a slightly softer tone.

I then feel him tug on his kimono sleeve and it slips out of my fingers. I feel the empty air now, his footsteps fading away in the distance. After his footsteps completely went silent, the air around me seem a bit colder. Inuyasha's trying to cover so much of himself, his feelings. I knew that Inuyasha had unspoken things and thoughts, but I finally have a grasp of what it is. Unfortunately, I can only guess and I can't really help him if he doesn't allow me too. I'm not use to seeing Inuyasha like this, it pains me a little. I let out a sigh and I turn around and go inside my hut. As I go to sleep, the snow falls outside, but I'm unable to hear or see the feather light miracle of Winter that is suppose to be soothing and beautiful. Everything fades away. I regain my consciousness, and I sigh.

"I hope today will be a better day for everyone... I feel I should talk with Inuyasha. Since I'm with him almost every minute of the day." I say to myself.

I get dressed and open the door to the hut, I can feel the cold winter air right away, and the occasionally whoosh of the wind. I don't feel the familiar presence that waited for me every single day in the morning for the past week or so.

"He's not here." I say quietly.

Well, It's been a week already I basically know my way to the big hut now. I understand that Inuyasha has some things on his mind so I hope that he can at least find some peace today. I can't always rely on his help, because I won't be able to find my way after I leave this place. I eventually arrive at the big hut and enter inside.

"Ah, Good morning__________" I hear Rin say with a gentle voice.

"Good Morning Lady Rin, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and I assume your husband Sesshomaru is here as well Lady Rin." I say greeting them with a bow.
