Story Summary: Natsumi dreams of another woman's past, a woman who desperately wants to reunite with the man she loves, even if Natsumi has to suffer in the end.
For centuries the wind had whispered to him, teased him, but more than anything it'd become a constant comfort as he wandered through time alone, never really belonging in the human eras, and trying desperately to be unnoticed.
He sighed a little and huffed. His kind had learned over the years to disguise themselves, himself included, though there weren’t many like him in existence anymore, and he’d come to learn that humans only paid attention to the things they wanted to see.
Soon, they will not even see you, he thought to himself. He had become victim to the same disease the rest of his species was fighting. The wind that followed him, the spirit that circled around him since she died, had known it too, and she was calling him and leading him here.
So when he’d heard Natsumi-san had collapsed at her work station, he stopped everything and came straight away.
“You’re her employer, correct? It’s kind of you to check on her, sir.” The nurse spoke and bowed when she noticed his presence.
“How is she?”
“She’s just weak.” The nurse turned back to the sleeping figure on the bed. “I think she hasn’t been sleeping well.”
“Let her rest for as long as she needs,” he said. The nurse bowed again and turned away, and he took another look at the woman asleep in the hospital bed.
His brow furrowed, and Sesshoumaru released a sigh when he noticed a pained expression on the troubled woman’s face.
