The Cruelest of Intentions
Stuck with You
Kagome pushed through the revolving door, not really bothering to look around her. The
building was vast and the cold marble echoed the click of her heels as she spotted what
she was looking for. Picking up her pace Kagome rushed toward the elevator.
Relieved that she had caught it Kagome breathed a sigh of relief and all but punched the
forth floor button. The button lit up and the doors started to slowly close, but then
something stopped them.
A large had with long and perfectly shaped nails that could be mistaken for actually
claws grabbed the side of the door and pushed him open. As the door was forced open
for the man to enter Kagome lowered her eyes, but the trouble had already occurred.
Sesshomaru entered the waiting elevator with a swish of his long white hair and he too
forcibly punched the forth floor button.
Kagome's teeth started to grind themselves as she stood on the corner of the elevator and
stared at nothing but the floor that was scuffed from the millions of feet that walked on it
each day.
The elevator stopped with a screech and Kagome reached for the nearest thing to steady
herself with, Sesshomaru's arm. The elevator shook again and then the lights flickered
and went out. But even in the pitch black Sesshomaru did not recoil his arm from
Kagome's death grip as she whimpered in fear of the darkness.

They sat next to each other, barely touching for some unknown fear of not wanting to
cause the other harm. Their faces were illuminated by Sesshomaru's cell phone's light as
he flicked it on and off.
They had been in the elevator for twenty minuets now and still they had not talked.
Kagome, after realizing that both her and her soon to be ex-husband, were stuck in a dark
elevator together, had frantically tried to call for help. Although, no one answered and
she soon realized that hers and Sesshomaru's cell phones had no signal.
"So how is everything now?" Kagome quietly asked, half afraid that Sesshomaru would
snap at her.
Watching him, Kagome saw his left hand come up and massage his left temple. Never a
good sign.
"Since we are currently stuck in an elevator together, I suppose it would only be civil to
talk to you." Sesshomaru's condescending tones hurt Kagome's ears, but his next words
had become soft and tinged with sorrow. "This is the last day we will be married
Kagome, and I only ask that you reconsider. I love you. I love you and I'm sorry." His
last words were hushed and almost a whisper as his right hand came up to cares
Kagome's cheek.
Kagome drew in a deep breath as Sesshomaru wiped away a stray tear that Kagome
hadn't known was there. Hating what she was about to do Kagome wrenched her face
away from his hand and spat at him, "When we get off this elevator, we are going straight
to the divorce lawyers that are on the other side of this wall. And when we get to the
lawyers we will sit down, divide everything that was once ours, sign the papers, and
never speak to each other again."
The defeated look in his eyes was one that Kagome was unused to seeing and had only
seen it once before, when she found out that Sesshomaru Tayotomi was a liar and a cheat.
Feeling bad about her spiteful words Kagome scooted back to her spot on the floor, next
to Sesshomaru. Without much thought Kagome laid her head down on his chest and
breathed in his warm smell of cinnamon and earth.
Unsurprised, Kagome stayed still as Sesshomaru started to mindlessly rake his fingers
through Kagome's thick hair. She still didn't move from lying on his chest as he bent
over her and planted a kiss on her forehead.
She felt Sesshomaru's sigh and sighed herself. When they were finally saved from this
elevator they would no longer be Mr. and Mrs. Tayotomi.
Looking into his golden eyes Kagome nestled herself into his shoulder. Sesshomaru,
seizing the moment, lifted Kagome up and placed her with ease into his lap. There they
clung to each other for their last time, knowing their impending doom was looming even
closer as the minuets went by.
Feeling so safe where she was Kagome started to feel sleepy from the darkness of the
elevator and how comfortable she was in Sesshomaru's broad arms.
"Sesshomaru, whatever happened to us?" the question had escaped her lips before she
had time to think about it. Kagome knew fully well what had happened to them, but for
some reason needed to hear it from her husband. Her husband that was soon to be an ex,
Kagome corrected himself.
They held each other close as Sesshomaru started from the beginning, speaking of her
and Kikyo, Kagome's twin sister. Even though Kagome knew her own life story, she
simply lay there, with her head against his chest and listened as he spoke.
As he spoke the words reverberated through his chest and Kagome was surprised to find
herself caught up in ever word he said.
