The Beauty Of Senses~ Inuyasha X Reader

A Chime Of Realization

The first month is practically over, but the snow doesn't slow down for anything. 3 months to go, or at least that's what I assume. It's been another 3 days since then, the two of us decided that the morning will be for Inuyasha, he will take the morning to have his alone time. but sometimes I don't know when he actually returns so sometimes I wait for half the day till he comes back when he could've been back 3 hours ago and I don't even know. I wonder what I can do so that I'll know when he's back or nearby, it's mind boggling. So when he's out, I just wonder around the village because I don't want to keep Shippo tied to me. I walk through town one day, hoping to see if I can bump into Sango since she's supervising around the village. The snow lands in my hair and I can feel snow burying my feet up to my ankles, I have extra layers of clothing so that I can keep myself warm. My walking stick sinks into the snow as well and it takes a while to get it out. Walking for a bit and pulling my walking stick out is making me sweat a bit, it's irritating. I can hear some people out and about, but it's winter so not a lot of people are out. I take a deep breath and wipe the droplets of sweat from my forehead, after letting out a long exhale I can feel the chilly wind against my face. I let out a shiver. Probably a bad idea to go out by myself, but I can't just stay cooped up all day until Inuyasha comes home. I feel slightly lost, but I know there are people out so I should be alright if I get lost. It seems like everyone knows where the big hut is, so I know I can always find my way back. Some people are out doing business so the streets will never be empty.

"____________?" A gentle voice says from the right of me.

I turn my head and my eyes aimlessly move around.

"Sango?" I ask recognizing her voice after weeks of being together.

"___________, what are you doing out here by yourself?" She asks me surprised.

I hear her coming up beside me and taking my hand in hers, I show her a smile.

"I didn't want to stay all day in my room, even if Inuyasha isn't here I can still walk around and getting to feel the winter weather is nice." I reply back to her.

"Inuyasha is out by himself again." Sango says with a chuckle and a sigh.

"Yes, but you know I don't mind, he needs some space. Completely understandable." I reply with a chuckle back.

"It's understandable, but seeing you out here by yourself isn't right. I'm sorry that I can't spend a lot of time with you_____________." Sango says with regret in her voice.

"Don't be, you have done so much for me already I don't want you to look after me when you have the role of village head. So you don't have to worry about me Sango, I'm alright. What are you doing now by the way?" I say to Sango with a smile.

"It's nice to actually find some time and talk with you, I have just finished helping out a family who needed some guidance. Come, let's return back to the hut and talk there." Sango says guiding me back towards the direction of the big hut.

The two of us walk back through the snow, the fireplace is lit and makes the whole room warm. I let out a shiver as my body adjusts to the temperature change, I take off my outer clothing and the two of us sit down by the table as I hear hot water being poured in two cups. Looks like Sango is making tea for us, I thank her.

"How are you and Inuyasha? Is he still picking on you?" Sango asks me with a chuckle.

"I think we are improving a lot, I have come to understand Inuyasha quite a bit and he has opened up to me as well." I explain to her with a smile lacing my face.

"That's wonderful to hear dear, what have you learned from Inuyasha?" She asks me curious.

My smile becomes subtle as I think of Inuyasha, I can feel my eyes softening.
