The Beauty Of Senses~ Inuyasha X Reader

Blind Faith and Hope

There's a brief moment of silence from both of us, I take a deep breath, the air feels cool and refreshing but my heart feels heavy. I want to say it again, my wish to see but I know it's impossible. I keep my mouth closed and close my eyes as frustration takes over me again. I then hear gentle chimes behind me, Inuyasha's arms holds me tightly to him and I feel him rest his left cheek next to mine. His bangs tickles my face and I can feel his dog ear fluttering next to my head, his breathing is so evident next to me. His body warmth overwhelms me and I feel so safe and loved. I lean back against him and rest my functional hand on top of his.

"I know that you desperately want to see, and I want you to see too__________. I want to see your eyes actually looking into mine for once. I just don't know if it's possible." Inuyasha says quietly next to me.

"I understand, I don't think demons' can grant my wish." I reply back with a depleted sigh."

Silence, the sound of the crickets fills my senses. But then I feel Inuyasha lift his face away from mine, I turn my head to face him.

"Inuyasha?" I say his name.

"Demons... celestial....gods... Gods... That might be it." Inuyasha's voice says with more confidence.

"Huh?" I say furrowing my brows.

"Gods, if we can find a god or goddess, than perhaps they can grant your wish." Inuyasha says with hope in his voice.

My eyes goes wide in surprise. That's right, if demons exist, then perhaps gods do as well. Demons may be more out in the open than gods. I feel slight hope ignite deep within me, perhaps a god can be my only chance. My heart begins to beat faster at that thought that I just might be able to regain back something, I put one of my hand over my chest to calm myself down, I can feel my cheeks becoming warmer. I feel gentle lips kissing my left temple and I turn my head to the left in surprise, the next thing I know, the same pair of lips caresses my own. I close my eyes as I take in the scent of Inuyasha and the intimateness of the kiss. We finally part after a few seconds, I can feel his warm breath lingering next to my face. I smile and rest my forehead against his cheek.

"Let's search for some information tomorrow, I'm determined to give you your wish. You gave up a lot for me and helped me through a lot, it's time for me to return the favour." I hear him say.

I shake my head slowly.

"No Inuyasha, you don't owe me anything, everything that has happened to me was due to my own actions. I helped you because I wanted to, I did it because I love and care for you. I don't want either of us to feel like we owe each other anything. So don't do this for me because you feel that way." I tell him.

"I don't feel that way, like what you said, I'm doing this because I love you too, I don't want to see you suffer and hopelessly wishing for something that you so longed for. If I'm capable of giving it to you, I will." Inuyasha replies.

I nod in response, I feel his arms tightening gently around me as he holds me to him, the warmth of his body radiating and seeping into me. After staying up in the tree and in the open field for an hour or so, Inuyasha brought us back down and he piggybacked me back to our hut. I hear his footsteps as he walks up the wooden platform into the hut. The chirps of the crickets soon disappear from the night as the door closes behind us, Inuyasha then gently lowers me down. The solid wood touches my feet and I find my grounding. I then hear matches being lit and the flickering sounds of the candles. I can hear Inuyasha's bell chiming as he comes walking back towards me, I smile as I feel him take my hand. His big warm hands wraps around my functional one, I squeeze his hand back as my bracelets chimes along with the movements of us walking towards the futon. We sit down and I go to take off of my outer wear, but then I feel Inuyasha's hand stopping me.
