Chapter 1: Without Him
The sky was very dark yet peaceful and calm. Every star shined brightly. The night was quiet, only the tress moving with the wind could be heard.
"Wow, isn't this beautiful Sesshoumaru-kun?" Kagome slowly got near him and put her head on his shoulder, blushing slightly.
"Mmm…" How he loved the smell of her hair. Her scent was the most sweet smell of all. His cold façade was long gone, replacing it with soft warm gold eyes and a faint smile that only could be seen by her. She was all he lived for, the only person he had showed his emotions to. She was capable of reading his emotions like an open book. She was her first love, although she didn't know that yet. He had to tell her, but the risk of losing her was too much too bear.
"Sesshoumaru-kun! Look, a shooting star. Make a wish!" Kagome was as enthusiast as a child, he never stopped being amazed by this. "What did you wish for?" Kagome looked at him " If I tell you, it won't come true" Sesshoumaru softly said.
The time passed but not for them, for them the world stopped moving, time and space didn't matter anymore, they were just them, and nothing could be better.
Suddenly Kagome leaned closer to Sesshoumaru, she couldn't resist, he was her best friend but she felt so much more for him, he was the only one that she trusted with her life.
Sesshoumaru was surprised, he had dreamed of this moment for a very long time. But he never imagined how good felt her lips on his.
The kiss was soft, light. She leaned on him and got closer. Sesshoumaru pulled her closer. They got more passionate now, their tongues were battling.
When the kiss ended, Kagome was blushing furiously, Sesshoumaru laughed softly " You are the most ridiculous and beautiful being I've ever seen"
With this, she blushed even more. She recomposed herself, he had the power of controlling her and her senses. Kagome took a deep breath and said " Sesshoumaru, I need to tell you this… It's that I… I 've fallen in love.. with you.. " she finished the sentence in a whisper, but he could hear her.
Sesshoumaru then smiled, a big warm smile and took her hands massaging them slowly" Kagome, since the day I met you, I have loved you with all my heart"
Both smiled, nothing could be better. Nothing mattered anymore, only them. They hugged each other looking at the stars kissing each other, wishing this moment could never end.
Six years later…
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
" Oh crap, I'm late.." A 22 year old Kagome woke up and got up from her bed
"Oh crap crap crap… okay..let's see.. shower, breakfast, car.." she started undressing and got into the bathroom. After a 5 minute cold shower she got out.
"Jakotsu!..you!, why didn't you wake me up earlier!!?" Kagome appeared in the kitchen while trying to finish dressing and at the same time, making a ham sandwich
" My dear, you are big enough to wake up by your own, and you looked so cute sleeping, I couldn't wake you up! It would've broken my heart!" Jakotsu calmly ate his breakfast.
" Damn… I don't want to be late again! "
" Well… you're lucky my boyfriend is your boss… Bank!, come here baby"
A voice could be heard from Jakotsu's room " Hello Kagome-chan!…Baby come to bed with me!"
" Ookay… Enough you two…Bank, aren't you going to work? Get up you lazy bitch!" How could that be? He wasn't even getting up of bed. Well, Kagome didn't want to deal with a mad Kagura at work, so better go now. She ran to her car
"Jeez, bye Kagome-chan! Good luck.."
Bankotsu came out of the room with a grin on his face "Well, we're all alone now babe"
A wide smile came to Jakotsu's face.
There was no traffic on the streets, that happened once in a million years in the most populated zone of the city. Kagome turned on the radio, it always relaxed her to listen some music before going to work. She hummed the song softly.
"Sesshoumaru, what was that dream again disturbing me?" She whispered, it was too much, too much pain to handle. She had left the country for 4 years, and she had to leave him. They never stopped sending mails and calling each other, until he stopped calling her, he didn't answer her mails anymore. Then she found out he was dating another girl, he had forgotten her.
Forgetting him was not the worst part, it was much more painful that he didn't want to talk to her anymore, she only got some news of him thanks to his brother, Inu Yasha. But he was happy, that was all that mattered.
She got used to having these dreams, memories when sleeping. And she woke up from them feeling even more angst and sadness than before. If all had been different... She missed him. All that remained of him was the pendant they gave each other as a promise they would never forget each other. She had a necklace, he had a bracelet.
Kagome remembered perfectly well that moment.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome were walking across a sakura park. The park was huge. It had a pond full of koi fish. They sat in a bench near it.
"Sesshoumaru-kun, I want to see the pendant!" Kagome was very excited. Both had bought a pendant for each other.
" Patience is a virtue, my love" Sesshoumaru took a small box out of his pocket. Kagome blushed, after 1 year of dating she still wasn't used to that nickname. She also took a small box from her pocket.
" Okay, you first Sesshoumaru-kun"
" Okay… you sure?" Sesshoumaru teased her
" Yes, I am!"
Sesshoumaru laughed " You are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, have I told you that"
Kagome laughed, remembering the first time they kissed. "Mmmm… let's see, I'm not that sure though… " She teased him trying to remember what she remember perfectly well "maybe it was my other boyfriend" He was very possessive, Kagome loved to tease him with that.
"You, belong only to me, you are mine Kagome" Sesshoumaru whispered huskily in her ear sending instant shivers down her spine.
" I know what we could do now…" God, this girl made him crazy.
Kagome broke out of his spell " Nope, we can not, first, the gifts"
" okay, okay…Here" Seshoumaru gave her the black small box
Kagome looked at the box with curious eyes, and opened it slowly.
It was a small silver moon with two butterflies engraved in it. Kagome gasped "Wow, Sesshoumaru-kun…it's beautiful.." She had no words to thank him enough, it was truly a delicate jewel.
"Look at the other side Kagome" Sesshoumaru loved to impress her and to make her happy in every way possible. At the other side of the pendant was the word "Eternal" engraved. That was their word. That was what they felt for each other, something eternal, beyond time.
"Okay, now you receive your present" Kagome gave him the bracelet with the same pendant she had, they had bought them together.
" Thank you Kagome.. Mmmm, now I am forced to remember you for a long time" Sesshoumaru gave her a playful smile
"Hey!.. you're not going to forget me that easily, are you?" What if he never remembered her? What if he never remembered her again and forgot her name?
Sesshoumaru broke her train of thought " Silly, I won't forget you, never, okay?" He lifted her chin and pulled her closely to him and gave her a passionate kiss. The kiss grew hungrier, both had trouble breathing.
Kagome broke the kiss blushing and gasping for air. He could smell her arousal, oh, what a sweet smell. " Sessoumaru-kun, we are in a public place! Behave!…"
Seshoumaru started kissing her neck softly " It's all your fault" Kagome giggled "You are such a pervert…"
" Okay, Kagome, no more memories, too painful, you promised you won't torture yourself anymore…" She sighed, life was so different without him.
She always wondered if he ever remembered her like he promised. Well, probably not, after 3 years apart he probably had a new life.
"Anyways, let's get to work" Kagome forced herself to stop thinking about Sesshoumaru and parked the car. She ran inside the building, she loved her work, she loved the people she worked with. Literature was the only thing that kept her mind away from him.
