They sat at the opposite ends of the wagon, not wanting to acknowledge the other. Each morning they had an argument about SOMETHING, and it usually involved their daughter.

::Earlier… ::

" You are the teacher here", replied Sesshomaru in a rather monotonous voice.

" I teach little kids, not fourth graders, Sesshomaru"

" And your point is?, you are still a teacher , I am sure you can find a way of helping her with what she's struggling"

" If I find a way to help her, you better find the time to at least FIND OUT what's she's struggling on", after saying this her temper really got a hold of her; she lost all sense of self control " You know what I don't understand Sesshomaru?, Here you are talking like you know what the HELL is going on at this house! You don't know shit Sesshomaru, shit I tell you!" With that last sentence, she slammed down her bag and fixed her eyes on his, waiting for a response.

" What you are saying is true but that does not justify your actions; YOU decided to become a teacher and not a stay-home mom, this are the consequences, deal with them"

The 27 year old threw her arms in the air and went up the stairs; she had to leave her daughter up before she left to work. Saoirse was 9 years old and struggling with almost every subject, something that shocked nearly everyone who knew who her parents were. The girl was not bright but really! It is well known that you don't to be a genius to pass, just show some effort.

As she stood in front of the door, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down , she didn't want Saoirse to see her like this.

" Saoirse , are you up?" Just when she was about to turn the knob, the door flew open.

" Hi mom!" The 9 year old said in a tone that informed Kagome of her good humor.

Kagome looked at her a little puzzled but pleased to see her in such a good/cheery mood.

" Guess what, mom" chanted Saoirse.

"What?"

" Today is picture day!"

ahhh , now it makes more sense.

Kagome shook her head while chuckling and led her downstairs. Since birth Saoirse had been very photogenic and had grown to love taking pictures, her dream was to become a model.

" A smart model, right?"

" No mom, just a model"

Whatever makes her happy, really… for now!

She has decided to let her dream while young, so she wouldn't despise her later on when she starts to " shorten the leash".

I know what I am doing, Sesshomaru…

Sesshomaru was on the same spot Kagome had left him. He was now on his second cup of coffee and skimming through the newspaper.

As soon as he sensed that they were ready to go, he folded his newspaper and went out the door. Saoirse hopped on the school bus and left.

" Kagome"

" For how long?"

"2 to 3 days"

" Is Kagura going with you?"

" She's my secretary"

" Yes or No?"

" Yes"

Kagome pursed her lips and entered the train station. She was not jealous, not at all, but it irked her. The woman knew how to persuade sesshomaru and get him to stay with her for longer than intended. He an expert at making quick decisions so Kagome KNEW that it didn't take him more than a day to get everything up and running.

" Is there anything you'll be needing in the time that I am away?"

" No "

As the train reached their station, kagome faced him and said:

" Come home, please. Not for me, but for Saoirse"

He entered the train without saying a word to her, let's just say: he didn't care enough to at least leave her with a string of hope.
