A Cold Winter Day
Chapter One: Reflections
Sesshomaru Taisho stood on the top of one of the many buildings his father owned. What was he there for? To jump of the edge and kill him self. Why? His father was the richest man in Japan, so he could have pretty much any thing he wanted by snapping a clawed finger. Every since his mother died every thing was fucked up. Not even a month after the funeral his father brought a human woman he had knocked up. Izayoi or whatever her name was. She soon gave birth on a hanyou child, Inuyasha. What amazed him is that his father actually expected him to love this human bitch and her worthless half-demon son. "Do it or you'll lose your inheritance." He threatened. Riight. Take that inheritance and shove it up your ass. All he wanted was to be with his mother again, and this way it could happen. He stepped to the edge and threw himself over.
Kagome Higarashi stood at the bottom of one of the tallest buildings in Japan, the Taisho building.
"Wow…it's Huge!"
Her best friend, Sango Taiiya, laughed. "You're so simpleminded, Kagome."
"Hey, what's that?" Kagome said, pointing to a silver thing falling rapidly through the sky.
"What is that?" Sango said.
"I think…it's a person!"
Sango looked up. "Oh my god!"
"I have to save her!" Kagome said looking at the person's long silver hair. Kagome stuck her hands out in front of her like she was catching a ball and a net of pink light appeared. The person fell into it and it began to crackle with energy.
"He's a youkai! Quick, let him down before you purify him!"
"He?!" Kagome let her energy fade after lowering him to the ground.
Sure enough the only thing feminine about him was his hair. He had a very seraphic air about him that made you think that wings to match his hair would sprout from his back.
"Kagome! He isn't breathing!!" Sango said.
By then a huge crowd had gathered round, even executives from the building they were in front of came out to look.
"Th-That's Inu-Taisho-sama's eldest son!" One of the executives said whipping out her cell phone and calling 911.
"Earth-to-Kagome!" Sango said.
"Huh?"
"You're fully licensed in CPR aren't you?"
"Yeah, but…"
"That doesn't matter!" Sango said "Just do it!"
"Great." Kagome thought. "Just great." She leaned down and pressed her lips to his.
Sesshomaru woke up in a hospital bed, in about 4o'clock in the morning .Despite this his father was sitting up waiting for him to wake up.
"Otou-san?"
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He yelled. "What kind of position did that put me in when the press found out my son had just leapt from the top of one of my buildings?!"
"Gomen nasai." Sesshomaru said quietly. "I just didn't feel the will to live any more."
Kagome stood outside the door listening. "What could be so awful that you no longer want to live?" She thought.
"I know you're there." Inu-Taisho said to the air. "You can come in if you like."
Kagome stepped into the room.
"Sesshomaru, you should be thanking this girl for saving your life. She used her miko powers to save you from falling to you demise."
"Yeah, thank you for nothing." Sesshomaru said and turned his back to her.
"Sesshomaru!"
"Look, I really don't feel like hearing anything you have to say, so just go away."
"I am your father! You will not speak that way to me!
"Fuck you! I don't have a father! The father I knew died along with my mother."
Inu-Taisho looked down. "I loved your mother."
"Yeah right. If you loved her you would have been by her side when she was sick instead of screwing some human bitch."
You will not talk about Izayoi that way!"
"Izayoi, Izayoi." Sesshomaru said scornfully. "Who is she? Just some knocked up human. You didn't even wait a month after the funeral! I will never forgive you for that. Never!"
"Fine." Inu-Taisho got up and walked out.
"You must forgive his rudeness. He's hard to talk to once he gets like this." He said to Kagome.
"Don't worry about it."
"I've sent him to every doctor on the planet but he scares them all away."
"My mother is a psychiatrist."
"Really? What's her name?"
"Keiko Higarashi."
"Hmm…can't say I've heard of her."
"I could arrange for an appointment if you like."
"You could?"
"Sure. My mom never says no to any patient."
"Great. Get your mom to call me so we can talk about payment." He handed her a business card.
"Okay." Kagome grabbed her purse and stood up. "It was nice meeting you."
"Likewise. And Kagome was it?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you for…everything."
Kagome smiled. "No problem. I would have done the same for anybody."
Disclamer: If I owned Inuyasha, Naraku would be an evil psycho...bunny rabbit.
I decided to add onto the chapter because I got two reviews!
