2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"

Kagome smothered down another sob as she dialed the number of her sister Kikyo. Listening to the ringing in her ear was not calming her for each ring seemed to signal that there was no one home. That there was no one left to turn to.

Kikyo yawned as she rolled out of her husband's arms and reached blindly for the phone that sat next to her bed. Blearily she looked at the alarm clock next to her head, it read 2 AM. 'who could be calling at this hour?' she asked herself mildly. Picking up the phone, the caller ID flashed Higurashi, Kagome. "Kagome?" she said out loud. Bolting up out of bed she ran into the kitchen and switched on a light before picking up the phone. "hello? Kagome?"

"Oh Kikyo!" came the sob from the other end, "I don't know what happened! He- he just left me! he left me for her." The sobbing was coming louder now. Koga Hokagi was the city's most eligible bachelor who had chosen Kagome to be his wife. One time after another, Kagome had forgiven on him for cheating on her, but Koga had apparently gotten what he wanted and Kagome was through. "Can you help me? please, I need someone to help me through this divorce…"

Some say there's no bond like a bond between sisters. Kikyo was about to find out just how much that was true.

Kikyo slipped into jeans and t-shirt and brushed her hair into a neat bun. Her husband Sesshomaru came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "So it's finally over between Kagome and that creep?" he asked. Kikyo nodded as she sprayed a splash of perfume onto her neck. He kissed her cheek and nodded, "good, she deserves much better than that bastard."

"I think so too. You know I never liked that guy in the first place, he's cheated on her more times than should be allowed in a marriage." Putting on some lipstick, she slipped into her shoes and gave him a peck on the cheek. "bye, I'll be back by dinner. Make sure that Rin eats lunch and gets a nap by at least 11:00. love you!" walking out the door she got into her black jaguar and drove over to Kagome's apartment. She then thought back to when Kagome had first brought Koga home to meet the family.

"Kagome!" Kikyo heard her mom call from the front door. Setting down the knife she was using to chop carrots she walked to where her mom stood embracing her younger sister at the front door. It was then that she noticed a man standing behind her sister. He was tall and handsome with dark hair and intoxicating azure eyes. She had seen those eyes before… but where?

"OMG!" yelled one of their aunts, "it's Koga Hokagi! I saw you on the cover of ELLE!"

The man laughed cheerily as Kagome blushed. Kikyo was debating whether to laugh or stare in shock. She smiled as Sesshomaru walked in carrying their new born daughter Rin. "Here let me take her." She said reaching for her baby. Cuddling the child to her breast, she moved toward Kagome who promptly forgot her embarrassment upon seeing the baby in her sister's arms.

"Oh! Is that my new niece? She is so unbelievably adorable! She looks just like you Kikyo!" Kagome said placing a finger into the tiny hand stretched toward her.

"yes, but she's got her father's intelligence with comprehension." Said Kikyo smiling. Kagome smiled and pulled her finger away.

"hi Sesshomaru! How's the job coming?" Kagome asked hugging her brother in law.

"very good thank you. How's your internship?" he asked in reply.

"good, I just wish I could find a cell phone for a cheap price. The company's been bugging me about getting one for ages."

Kikyo inwardly sighed in relief, Kagome was sure going to love the gift from her big sister this year. "want to hold Rin Kagome?" asked Kikyo.

"Yeah I'd love to!" she said holding out her arms. She cuddled her niece and grinned when Rin gave a sleepy yawn. Suddenly Koga walked over and glanced at Rin before looking at Kagome.

"hey babe, I gotta go. You know, lots to do. Bye." He said kissing her cheek.

"already?" she said looking a bit put out. "well, if you must." She kissed his cheek and smiled half heartedly. "bye."

Kikyo watched the exchange with a stoic look on her face that would send even her husband running for his money. Koga waltzed out the door winking at one of their younger cousins in a not so innocent way. What was Kagome doing with this pimp? He was clearly only looking for sex, but Kagome had been blinded by that apparently. Though Kikyo had to admit, Koga was an Adonis to be sure. "Kagome, can I talk to you a sec?" she asked handing Rin to her husband.

"Sure!" Kagome bubbled excusing herself from the vicious claws of their beloved aunt Kyoko. Following Kikyo into their old bedroom she sat down on one of the beds smiling happily. "so what's up sis? You needed to talk to me?"

Kikyo sat down, maybe this wasn't a good idea. First impressions were rarely right, but she just had a FEELING, about this one. After all, she was a mother now and she had those maternal instincts. "Kagome…how… how did you meet Koga?" she asked chickening out. Maybe she had just gotten a wrong impression.

Kagome giggled behind one of her hands. "well, you know how I had just broken up with Hojo and all? Well, my friends thought it'd be a nice idea to go to a singles bar. So we went in and sat down and I saw tons of cute guys but none of them perked my interest, so I turned them all down. Then there was this loud yell and tons of flashing lights. Koga came in the door looking like a god!" Kagome sighed and looked down blushing, "he saw me and ran up asking if I'd be his girlfriend and well… he was so bold and it kind of turned me on you know? So I said yes. We've been dating for like a month now and I think he's going to propose soon…"

"WHAT! Kag, it's only been a month! You shouldn't rush into things like this! Do you have any common sense any more!" Kikyo yelled, her hair flying everywhere as she stood up.

"What are you talking about? You and Sesshomaru got married after going out for a month! Don't you remember that? You're just jealous because Koga is famous and I got him!" Kagome yelled back. She glared at her sister.

Kikyo looked at her in shock, "Sesshomaru and I had known each other for twenty years! Kagome are you even listening to yourself any more? I'm happily married and have a child for God's sake! Why are you acting this way anyways?"

"You know, Koga said something like this might happen. He knows he's irresistible. I just can't believe my own sister would try to tear me away from the love of my life!" Kagome yelled grabbing her coat and walking towards the door.

"Kagome how would you know if you loved him after four god damn weeks?" Kikyo screeched.

"I… I… I just do!" and with that Kagome stalked down the stairs to the front door. Kikyo heard a clipped good bye then the slamming of a door. Falling to her knees, she buried her head in her hands and let the tears come freely. This was not how she had planned it. She just wanted Kagome to be happy! She loved her sister and just wanted the right guy for her, and Koga was far from Mr. Right. She wished he would be hit by a bus and die so Kagome could move on.

Sesshomaru stepped into the room quietly and looked down at his wife who was curled into a ball sobbing. "you tried to tell her didn't you?" he asked sitting next to her and pulling her towards him. A muffled yes came from his lap. He sighed and stroked her hair. The males in his family had never been good at comforting, but when it came to a woman crying they would turn to puddles, though Sesshomaru and his father hid it well. They sat there for near an hour until his wife sat up, her stormy eyes red and puffy, reminding him of a sunset at sea, so tragically put out by the jealous moon.

Kagome refused to speak to Kikyo after that. When her wedding came a week later, Kikyo was not invited. It was the straw that broke the camels back. For Kikyo, the sun had set for the final time. Nothing can mend a broken heart.

Kikyo pulled into the small parking structure where Kagome shared an apartment with Koga. Judging by how his parking space was empty, he had gone to see one of his whores. Parking in his spot, she stopped the car and got out. She remembered Kagome's apartment number, she always knew it. She had waited in vain for Kagome to do something, anything to contact her. But nothing had happened until now. three years after their fight, a broken heart was mending. Knocking softly on the door she waited. A face that matched her own after their fight answered it. Kagome's voice, gravelly from her sobs tugged Kikyo's heartstrings. She ran forward and pulled her dear sister into her embrace.

"Ki…Kik…Kikyo!" came the sob as the girl fell apart in her arms. Pulling Kagome into her apartment, Kikyo sat the girl on the couch with her. "I should have listened to you all those years ago," Kagome said shaking with suppressed sobs, "I… I saw all the signs… but, I didn't want to see them and ignored them."

"Kagome, I won't tell you that I was wrong, but I won't tell you, you were wrong either. You were just blinded by that feeling of first love, but it wasn't meant to be. I want to let you know though, that I'm sorry for yelling at you. You are doing the right thing here divorcing the bastard. Now come on, how about we pack your stuff up and you come stay at my house until the divorce is finalized." Kikyo said smiling and standing up. Pulling off her jacket and rolling up her shirtsleeves, she walked into the main bedroom.

Kagome followed meekly. She pulled out a large suitcase and began piling clothes, make-up, hair brushes and jewelry into it. Grabbing a couple card board boxes she loaded up papers from work and other junk like that into them. She was glad Kikyo had come. Her biggest fear was that morning was that her sister would say no, no to helping and no to ever speaking with her again. their mother had died last year and Souta had moved to New Zealand with his girlfriend. No one was left but her sister since her friends had grown apart from her after she had married Koga since Koga said she needed to meet the rich and famous. They were no good either unless it involved some type of fashion or the other. When the last item was packed, Kikyo helped her carry it to her car and shockingly got it all in. Kagome sat down in the passenger seat and sat staring at her hands until a hand gently laid itself on her shoulder. She looked up to see Kikyo staring at her with a gentle smile on her lips. "I missed you," Kagome said suddenly.

"I missed you too sis," said Kikyo giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze. "Now let's go to my place." They drove in silence for the most part, besides the casual exchange of small talk about Rin, Sesshomaru, and the weather. When they reached Kikyo's house the door opened and a little girl with jet black hair and blue eyes shot out and wound her arms around Kikyo's leg yelling "mama! Mama!" over and over.

Kagome smiled at this exchange wishing she could have a child who ran out to greet her like that. A pang hit her heart as she remembered her conversation with Koga about children.

"Koga? How would you feel about having kids?" asked Kagome leaning against his side.

Koga sat up suddenly, "you're not pregnant are you?" he asked, his eyes wide with fear.

"No, I was only wondering." Said Kagome cocking her head in confusion at his response.

"Oh. Good, cause I hate kids. They pull my hair and mess it up before all my magazine shoots. Plus they're like poop machines!"

"Kagome!" yelled Kikyo waving a hand in front of her sister's face.

"Wha- What?" said Kagome snapping out of her memory. "Sorry, I guess I zoned out a bit there!" she said laughing nervously.

"Are you ok? I was asking if you minded if we had some company for dinner with us. he might stay a while I just wanted to know if you'd be ok with that." Said Kikyo hoisting Rin up to her hip.

"Oh! Yeah that'd be fine. I really don't mind, the more the merrier right? So who is he?" she asked pulling the suitcase out of Kikyo's car.

"Oh, just Sesshomaru's brother Inuyasha."

BUM BUM BUM!
