Chapter 1- Nightmare
'Kagome strapped herself in the car. She started it up and checked all the mirrors. She looked in the backseat and saw Jeff's composed body sitting there casually.
"Not happy to see me Kagome, my dear?"
"Just leave me alone."
"He blames you Kagome. I don't. I told you, you should have married me."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"I'm talking about Sesshomaru and the accident. Does the sound of sceeching breaks still haunt you?"
Kagome sat up in a cold sweat. Her alarm was going off and she leaned over and turned it off. She shivered, but not from the weather. It was nice and sunny outside. The dream was the real reason. She'd been having that dream for two years. It didn't actually have anything to do with Jeff. He died four years before and she only had a few dreams after that until her accident two years ago.
She sat up and put both her feet on the carpeted floor. Her room mate came into the room.
"Are you okay Kags? I heard you mumbling in your sleep again."
"I'm okay."
Serena came and sat beside her. "Are you sure you should leave? I mean, are you ready?"
"I think so. Besides, I'm done with my basics here. There's nothing left for me at this school. Taking a few years off will be good for me and for my relationship. I hope."
"I know things have been weird with you and Sesshomaru. I'm not sure why, but I know it has. But I also know you two love each other. You'll work whatever it is out."
"What will I do without you Serena?"
"You'll do fine. I just want you to be happy again. The way you used to be, ya know?"
"Yes, I want that to."
"Good. Now, get out of bed and get dressed. I only have two days left with you and we are going to have fun."
"Okay."

Sango smiled as she watched the last of the students leave the dance studio. The teacher walked up to Sango.
"Hey boss!"
"Hey Bridget. So how was class today?"
"It was great. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all of them in the next great music video."
"That's what I like to hear. Go ahead and get home. I'll lock everything up."
"You are the boss. Say hi to your hunk of a husband for me."
They both laughed.
"I will. Have a good weekend."
"Thanks, you too."
Sango waited until Bridget left the building and then she went down to her office in the basement. She sat down behind her desk and smiled again. It still amazed her how far she had made it in four short years. She owned her own dance studio. In the beginning it had been small, but now it was so popular Sango had to hire forty teachers, including herself. They taught starting at the age of five all the way to eighteen, the group Bridget was in charge of.
Sango noticed that she had a message and pressed the play button.
"Hey, Sango it's Kagome. I know you are in class right now, but I just wanted to tell you for the millionth time that I can't wait to see you. And also to tell you not to worry about me. See ya in a few days."
Sango sighed sadly. Poor Kags. She wasn't sure what had broken Kagome's fun, loving spirit. Kagome just seemed to deflate after her car accident, but Sango didn't really understand why. People got into car accidents every day. She knew there was more to what happened in that accident, but only Kagome and Sesshomaru seemed to know what. Well, and Inuyasha, but he pretends not to know. Sango feared that if Kagome didn't talk about it with someone she'd never move on. And Sango missed the real Kagome.

Inuyasha barged into Sesshomaru's office and slammed a stack of folders onto his desk in his downtown office.
"There's the damn shipping schedule."
"Fine." Sesshomaru said ignoring Inuyasha's rudeness.
"I talked to Kagome a few minutes ago." Inuyasha said sitting down.
Sesshomaru looked up in frustration.
"What do you want?"
"She's not doing so good."
"Did she say that?" Sesshomaru said giving Inuyasha his full attention.
"Of course not, but I know she isn't."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and looked back at his computer. "Have you ever considered that maybe when people say they are okay they really are?"
"Don't give me that shit! You know just as well as I do what's wrong with her."
The phone rang and Sesshomaru picked it up.
Sess: Sesshomaru Takashi.
Kag: Hi.
Sess: Hi, is everything okay?
Kag: Yes, I just wanted to make sure my things made it today.
Sess: Yes, as far as I can tell everything made it just fine.
Kag: Good, so I'll call back later, I know how busy you are.
Sess: Okay, bye.
Kag: Bye.
Sesshomaru hung up the phone. Inuyasha was glaring at him.
"What?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Can't you at least tell her you love her? You talk to her like you're talking to a client, and then you don't even say I love you? No wonder she's so messed up."
"So I'm the one to blame?"
"Better you than her. I asked her not to move in with you. I told her to come stay with me and Yukio."
"Are you still trying to take her from me? I doubt she would want to raise your child with Kikyo."
"This isn't about me wanting a relationship with her. I've moved past all of that and Cecilia is my girlfriend and Kikyo is a good mother to Yukio. This is about me protecting Kagome, something you know nothing about."
"If you aren't out of this building in five minutes you will have no job."
"Ha, you can't fire me I own half of this company."
"If you aren't out of this building in five minutes you will no longer have a head, because I will rip it off."
"Feh, whatever." But Inuyasha stood anyway and left the office.
Sesshomaru opened a drawer of his desk to put the folders Inuyasha brought him in it. He moved somethings out of the way and noticed a picture he put in there. He took the picture out, out the folders in, and closed the drawer.
He looked down at the picture. It was Kagome with her room mate in their first year of college. Kagome had the biggest smile on her face. Her dark eye's sparkling and her dark hair shinning. It was good in contrast to her room mate's blond hair and light green eyes. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome's eyes. She looked truly happy and he knew at that time she had been and couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever be that happy again.

"Hey Koga, what do you think about this pose?" Miroku asked. He was on break from his photo shoot.
"As your agent I say never do that again. As your friend I say never do that again."
"Shut up, I don't pay you to be so cruel."
"No you pay me to get you jobs and that pose won't get you anything."
Miroku rolled his eyes. His cell went off and he read his text message from Sango.
"Sango again?" Koga asked smirking.
"Yes, she's really worried about Kagome."
"I think we all are."
"Not Sesshomaru."
"He's just in denial. It's hard to recognize, because he's not an emotional being, but I can tell. He's pretending that everything is how it always has been."
"Do you know something about that accident that I don't? I know Inuyasha does. Did he tell you?"
"I don't know anything. Get your ass on set they are calling for you."
Koga waited until Miroku was busy and pulled out his own cell phone. He sent a text to Kagome asking her if she was okay. A few minutes later she sent one back saying yes. Koga shook his head and pocketed his phone, looking up just in time to see Miroku doing that hooker pose Koga had told him to never do again moments before. Koga frowned and began walking over to the set so he could punch Miroku.

"That was so awesome!" Serena said getting behind the wheel of her car, Kagome climbing into the passenger seat.
"Yeah, you are a really good tennis player."
"I know and you stink at it."
They both laughed as Serena started the car. Kagome looked out of the window, getting caught in her own thoughts.
flashback (three years ago)
Kagome smiled as she and Sesshomaru kissed again. It had been another wonderful Christmas. Kagome lay on her back in Sesshomaru's bed and he did the same.
"I had alot of fun today. Yukio is so cute."
"He's the spawn of the devil disguised as a cute little kid. Just like Inuyasha was."
Kagome giggled. "You exaggerate. It's not his fault your hair is so shiny. Babies love shiny things."
"He's out to get me."
Kagome laughed again. She propped herself on her elbow and faced Sesshomaru, he did the same.
They both knew what was coming but both wanted to wait for the other to say 'it' first. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Sesshomaru, you know I've thought about this a lot but I'm going to throw my plan to the wind and just say what I want to say. I love you Sesshomaru Takashi. I've loved you for a long time now."
"I love you too Kagome Higurashi. I've loved you for a long time now."
They kissed again. Kagome loved how open he was with her and how closed off he was when they were with a group. She didn't have to say it to him. She knew he understood that.
They broke apart the kiss keeping their faces close together. Kagome pulled her shirt over her head and then took off her bra tossing them out of the way. She pulled Sesshomaru on top of her knowing he wouldn't want to push her into anything.
He looked down into her eyes.
"Kagome, are you sure about this? It's your first time. We could always wait until we get married. I know that's what you wanted."
"No, I'm ready. This is the right time, the right place, and you are the right person."
Sesshomaru leaned down and brought their lips back together.
end flashback
Kagome was brought out of her thoughts by Serena trying to get her attention.
"Kagome, are you in there?"
"Yeah, sorry I was just thinking about something." She wished that night had lasted forever. Her first time, their first time together, had been one of the best things in her life.
"I know, you creep me out when you think. It's like your body is an empty shell."
"I know, sorry." Kagome said, quickly wiping the single tear that ran down her cheek away before Serena could see.
