CHAPTER 2
Kagome POV
No regrets, right? I'm going to a place where no one knows me, a place where I can start over again… But could I do that? Could I forget about him? My beautiful Sesshoumaru. I'm such an idiot. She laughed, why would I go to the place where we first met in the first place? I missed my children already and him, was her last thoughts before she fell asleep on the plane, and missed the person that sat next to her.
Normal POV
She was startled when she saw Miroku sitting next to her, still sleeping, but she ignored him. She already had forgiven him. She never hated anybody even if he caused their separation. She's friends with Miroku and of course his fiancée, Sango. Actually Sango is in Paris right now and, Miroku and Sango are going to get married there. Romantic isn't?
She was a pop star back then; a person that everyone looks up to because she accomplished most people didn't have a chance to when they were her age. She was just 15 then and now she's 27 but she wasn't happy. No. She wasn't. Then she remembered how Sesshoumaru and she met. She was singing her favorite song hoping that she'll find the person that she's going to love and marry for the rest of her life. After they got married, she also quitted as a singer and quickly became forgotten.
Carry My Love
By: Sarah Geronimo
If there is something then at least just say it
I want to know what this could mean for us
What do you have when it happens?
I think they call it love
I'll take a breath and let my feelings show
'Cause we're exploring territories never known
Like the first time you sing
And all of the happiness it brings
That's where she met a pair of amber eyes, and she stared at those eyes until the song finished. Her heart was beating faster than normal, could this be love at first sight?
Chorus:
Carry my love thru all the seasons
Carry my heart inside the reasons
You are my prayer - my every thought
That I will guard at any cost
You are my safe inside the storm
And in your arms I am at home
Every emotion that's uncharted
Gives me a joy from where we started
No matter if we take it slow
It doesn't really change a thing, you know?
It's like you fall thru the floor
And everyday being born into our love again
We're like the seams inside the picture we have sewn
And our reflection shines on every cornerstone
Our world begins with dawn
It's guiding us thru the midnight stars
Chorus
Answers:
(You're all my dreams)
We keep the best things and the good we have
(You're everything)
We count our blessings everyday we can
(Safe in my heart)
I want to say the words and know they're truthful
(I love who you are)
With all the love around you know I need you
(Without you I'm lost)
You are a dream I hope will never end
For all the beauty of you making love to me again
Tell me I won't be alone
That we'll be together for all time
Chorus
After that he asked her if she want to go out with him and of course she said yes and officially became a couple after their 6th date, never once doubting each other. She had known him for what…12 years and the trust between them had just crashed down in less than 5 minutes. Tears rolled down her face. Is she that person that is really hard to believe? He knows her. He knew that she wouldn't do something like that.
Kaede, Kagome's grandmother, once said that without trust, there's no love. Once, Kaede saw them together; once she saw Sesshoumaru, she said those words as if she knows what's in Sesshoumaru's heart. So Kagome, being the obedient granddaughter that she is, knows that her grandmother is right and agreed to the divorce.
She might as well visit her grandmother in Kyoto while she's free. The word that reminds her that she's no longer married. She's going home to her grandma's house and see how everyone's doing. Hopefully, better than her.
Does life hate her, for making her suffer this much in love and life in general? As young as 15 years old, she found love in the least likely person but that person no longer love her so what's the point, right? Destiny is just wasting its efforts on ruining her life because without love, she has nothing.
Does she still have that card of her manager before? She looked in her purse and found it: Kagura Syosuke, it says. She's going to call her later. She has to deal with Miroku who is now up.
"I'm sorry, Kagome," Miroku said forlornly.
"It's okay, Miroku. Why are you here anyway?" She looked like an egg shell without yolk and this is his entire fault.
"Are you going to Paris, to visit Sango?"
"Yeah, but I'm going to visit my family first, we have to plan for the wedding and by the way before I forget, you'll be singing in our wedding, alright?"
"Sure," Kagome said, happy for her friends, "just don't mess it up, okay?" Her eyes twinkling in amusement. Miroku laughed, "of course not."
She highly doubted him but she went with the flow.
Sango is a strong woman. She went through a lot of obstacles yet here she was. Just one obstacle and her life crashed. Her musings was interrupted by the pilot.
"Everybody please put your seatbelt on; we're landing in 5 minutes."
She didn't tell her family that she's going to be here today so she has to take a cab home. Home. Why does it feel weird saying it?
When she got home, she called Kagura, her previous manager and told her that she's going to start singing again and asked if Kagura will still take her in and the answer is positive. Kagome almost forgot that Kagura was one of the women that were pining after Sesshoumaru even though they were still dating before. But Kagura reminded her when she asked and she quote, "How is Sesshoumaru?"
"I wouldn't know," Kagome said quietly. Why does everyone, when they see her ask something about Sesshoumaru? Sesshoumaru that, Sesshoumaru this. Oh how is she going to tell her family?
"What do you mean, you don't know," Kagura started to speak, "you're his wife. What kind of wife are you? You didn't even know what's going on with your husband."
And that burst the bubble, Kagome asked, "Kagura, do you like Taisho-sama?" Once Sesshoumaru's last name came from Kagome's mouth, Kagura got this feeling that something is wrong with Kagome and that something good is going to happen to her, for once.
"Taisho-sama? Since when….."
"Just today," Kagome said quietly knowing that she's just torturing herself by telling Kagura and she said something that she'd regret all her life, "you can have him if you want, Kagura because we all know that you want him for yourself since you met him at my concert." Kagura was the same age as him. Sesshoumaru and Kagura were 20 at that time.
"No hard feelings or anything, right?" Kagura asked.
Kagome knew that Kagura was taunting her but she wouldn't bite, "no, none at all."
Sesshoumaru even asked what Kagura's age was. They were openly flirting in front of her. Kagome knew and never forgot the incident until now. She knew that he liked Kagura back then. Then it clicked. Maybe he was just waiting for her to make a mistake then he'll suggest a divorce.
"You can come here tomorrow, Kagome and we'll renew your contract," Kagura said and hung up. In Kagome's opinion too eager to get off the phone to call Sesshoumaru right away.
After the phone call, her family asked her many questions that she doesn't know who to listen to.
"Where is Sesshoumaru? Why isn't he with you? Did something happen? Where are the kids?"
"First of all, it's not Sesshoumaru, it's Taisho-sama from now on. You probably know now why he isn't here with me. It's because we had a divorce and the kids are with him."
Mrs. Higurashi said, "Kagome, can I talk to you for a second? Meet me in your room."
"Sure, mom," Kagome said and knew what is going to happen.
When she got there, her mom was already waiting for me.
"Are you okay with this?" Her mom asked.
"Of course," Kagome said stoically.
"Really?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, not believing Kagome one bit.
The tears that had been suppressed before are now running down her face.
"Sit down, Kagome," her mom asked. And when she did, Mrs. Higurashi placed her arms around her daughter.
"I didn't know what happened, mom," Kagome sobbed, "and now we're divorced. It's my entire fault. I already miss them mom, I miss him. The thing is that nothing happened between Miroku and me. Nothing really happened."
Flashback
On the plane with Miroku
"Kagome, nothing really happened between us on that bed, you know? I was sleeping on the couch as you instructed me even though you were drunk. But, when I heard the bang Sesshoumaru's car closing. I don't know what came over me. I undressed myself first then you. Then I jumped in the bed beside you, placed my arm around you, and pretend to sleep like something happened but nothing really happened." Kagome listened, not daring to interrupt.
" I think that I did that just to make him angry but I thought that that's not enough to make him want to divorce you because when I look at you two, you guys look perfect together like puzzle pieces. The way he looks at you. It makes me jealous that he has something that I want, I like. Remember when we were in grade 7? I was always there to look after you. To give you a shoulder that you can lean on to, to cry on to and you never did. Back then I was a coward to confess to you because you could only see me as a friend. I'm your best friend and I'm supposed to help you get through life but I just did the opposite. I took advantage of you. I'm sorry," Miroku said apologetically, "but now that I found Sango, I was happy that I finally found someone like you did."
End Flashback
WITH SESSHOUMARU
Kagura called telling him that he made the right choice of divorcing the woman that makes his life miserable and all those rubbish things. How did she know that they were divorced anyway? It's not even a whole day yet and there she was, calling him that they should get together sometimes. Now is the day that he's going to relax at home, for once and think over things.
He opened the T.V. and put it on the news channel.
Kagome Higurashi, a former singer was spotted in her hometown airport today and it looks like she's going to stay. However, Sesshoumaru Taisho was no where in sight. Could it be that………
Sesshoumaru turned the T.V. off. Is it okay to leave it at this?
Sesshoumaru turned the radio on instead. Kagome's voice blasted out of the stereo. What's happening to this world? The song "Carry my Love" keep playing in his mind.
