"Hey" Kagome said. "Hello" He said back. 'Of course, instead of a casual hey or hi, he

says a formal hello' Kagome thought. 'But yet I love him' she said in a after-though.

"How've you been?" Kagome asked. "Good, the company is going well, and rin's

adoption anniversary is coming up" Sesshomaru answered... in a sincere voice, he did

sometimes with her. "That's great… my brother is doing great in soccer. My photos are

very popular, as are my paintings… you should stop by sometime to see the art show or

something" Kagome said with hope shinning in her beautiful neon-blue eyes. "I'd... like

that" Sesshomaru said softly. "Ok, well ill be seeing sometimes soon, see ya sesshomaru"

Kagome said turning. She always turned quickly, it was easier to walk away when she

did. Another thing she did was say 'see ya' instead of 'good bye' because she felt that

saying 'good bye' was saying it forever, and saying 'see ya' meant you'd see the person

soon, or at least again. 'It's getting so hard to walk away now' Kagome thought, trying to

stop the tears from spilling.

"Good afternoon everyone. Today ill be auctioning some of my more better and famous

paintings and photos" Kagome said with a dazzling smile. As the bidding started she

picked out one of best paintings. Automatically someone yelled one thousand. "Any

higher?" Kagome yelled. She was never good at yelling and being the auctioning person,

but miroku, her best guy friend and husband to her best girl friend, called in sick. Than

she heard someone yell two thousand. After an hour had passed someone yelled out "1

MILION DOLLARS!" At first kagome couldn't believe it but realization hit her 'I know

that voice' She turned and found sesshomaru grinning at her. "Any higher?" Kagome

yelled. When no one spoke up she yelled "And sold, to the man with the silver hair!"

Kagome yelled smiling like an idiot. After the auctioning was done and the people had

collected the paintings and photo they had bought, kagome had started cleaning up. Than

she heard a knock. She turned to find sesshomaru leaning against the wall. "Hey… why

did you buy that painting? If kagura sees it… well you know what'd happen, but why?"

Kagome asked knowing her eyes were probably watering up from mentioning his wife."

Because it's an amazing photo… and why would she flip if it is just a man and a woman

embracing? ... its not as if the man and woman are together… the painting shows love,

something they used to have, its nice seeing it again… " Sesshomaru than cast a longing

glance at her before concealing his emotions. "Well it was an amazing auctioning tonight,

good night… ms. higurashi" And with that sesshomaru left… with kagome alone,

sobbing her heart out… it seems as though not everyone can be happy…
