Love Is a Lie Everyone Believes

Chapter 3

I stood outside the hospital. For some reason I was kind of nervous. I didn't know why and I was mad at myself for letting a guy, let alone Sesshomaru, affect me this way. I didn't want to be like this. It was showing a weakness. I gave up a long time ago on feeling emotions. Why, now do they decide to come back?

I was five minutes early, but as one o'clock drew nearer I was beginning to think that he forgot or changed his mind. Oh how my heart leapt at the thought of him forgetting all about this, but alas I have no such luck because just as I was about to head back in he pulls up in his black Mercedes Benz. 'Damn, getting high hopes for nothing. I shouldn't have been so stupid as to think that Sesshomaru would forget anything.' I sighed as I walked to the car.

I was at the door, about to open it when a clawed hand stopped me. "It wouldn't be very gentleman of me to make a women open her own car door now would it?" he said cockily.

I glared at him. "I am more than capable of opening my own car door. I don't need you or any other man treating me like I am incapable of such a meager task." I shot back coldly as I removed his hand and opened the door.

I slammed the door closed, mentally hitting myself for not remembering that this isn't my car and I can't go around slamming the doors. Sesshomaru stood there for a moment with a questioning look before putting on his stoic façade and walking to the driver's side. "I did not wish to offend you Kagome, I was only being polite." he said calmly.

'Thanks Sesshomaru, make me feel like an ass.' I thought. "Thank you." I mumbled, but I knew he could here me. A smirk appeared on his face making me regret thanking him in the first place. 'He's such an ass. He just wanted to make me feel guilty. He didn't care if he offended me or not.'

While silently peeving at Sesshomaru's attitude, I failed to realize when we arrived at the restaurant. It was a small café where they served salads and Italian style pizza. I have heard of this place but never had the time to go here.

Sesshomaru turned to me as we pulled into a parking spot. "Would you like me to get your door, or are you going to bite my head off and get it yourself?" he asked amusingly.

I shot him another death glare. "No Sesshomaru, I will not bite you head off, and I will get my own door. But thanks for offering." I grounded out though clenched teeth. It took all my resolve not to get nasty with him. He's getting me all riled up on purpose and by the look on his face he is enjoying it.

"As you wish, Kagome." he said respectably and got out of the car. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself then I soon followed.


It was a nice restaurant, small and cozy. It was painted a light green with tables scattered evenly throughout the room. On each table was a small basket that held all the essential spices and condiments. Some tables even had bar stools in case people wanted to sit down but only for a short amount of time. Along with it being light green, there were also several paintings on vineyards and country land on the walls. All in all this is a nice place.

We sat down at one of the booths next to the wall. The waiter took our drinks, water for me and lemonade for Sesshomaru, and walked back to the kitchen area. "So Sesshomaru, what is it that we have to discuss?" I asked, not wanting to be here longer than necessary.

He looked up at me for a moment, and then returned to the menu. "I assume that you already know my niece." he asked, glancing up at me quickly.

I thought for a moment before I remembered the girl. "Yes, the girl that you brought in today, Shiori, she reminds me so much of Shippo." I said knowingly.

"Well I would hope so, seeing as how that is his daughter." he said, glancing up swiftly to see my reaction and boy did he get one. After hearing that Shiori is Shippo's daughter I almost spit out the water I was drinking.

"What!?" I choked out, trying to get my throat functioning again.

He stared at me startlingly. "What is so hard to comprehend Kagome? Shiori is Rin and Shippo's daughter." he said slowly like he was talking to a 4 year old.

I ignored his tone for a more serious question. "Shippo and Rin mated? When? How?" I asked. I was so shocked that I was having a hard time comprehending all this. I can't believe Sesshomaru, as cold-hearted as he is, would allow Shippo anywhere near Rin. Not to mention Shippo was always afraid of Sesshomaru.

"This is what I meant by 'we have things to discuss.' A lot happened when you left. So I will start from the beginning. But beware at one point you might not like what you hear." he warned.

I nodded my head. I am sure I could handle whatever he had to say. I already know that Sango and Miroku have passed on so that won't affect me that much, though it is still sad.

"After you left, I stayed around for Rin's sake. She had taken a liking to Shippo and since her 'friend' Kohaku died after the battle I figured she could use someone to be there for her. I am sure that you are aware of Inuyasha?" he asked.

"All of know of him is what he did to me after the battle but that's about it." I said angrily. Every time I thought back to the moment I get angry. I've been trying to work past it, but so far I have had no such luck.

Sesshomaru nodded in understanding and continued. "Well from what I learned they only stay on this earth for a couple of days."

I looked up from my salad that the waiter had brought and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Did…did he die or something?" I asked, somewhat afraid to know the answer.

"In a way I guess he did. After a couple of days, that clay pot managed to convince him to go to hell with her. So I suppose now that's where he is. But he is foolish for throwing his life away like that. That clay pot of his only took him to hell for revenge knowing that he can never escape." he spat out.

Even after all these years, Sesshomaru still detests Inuyasha. Deep down I had a feeling that he no longer walked the earth. Even a couple of days after I left the Feudal Era I knew. But I would have never guessed that it was a trap and he is now stuck there. Even after what he did, I don't think he deserved that. "What about the others?" I asked, hoping that he would see my uneasiness and follow along with the subject change.

Sesshomaru must have noticed because he immediately went along. "The demon slayer and the monk married. I wasn't around too much but when I was I saw their family. They had three children, a boy and two girls. All three children married off and had their own children. Unfortunately, the slayer and the monk died before they could have grandchildren. Old age came faster to them than others." he said quickly to put me at ease.

'At least they didn't die from a demon attack or something. I'm glad they were finally able to start a family. I secretly knew that Sango had been wishing to start one with a certain monk. I'm sure Miroku was happy when he found out.' I thought with a small smile. "Shippo and Rin?" I pressed.

"Yes, Shippo and Rin eventually mated and had their child. Regrettably, Rin died in child birth. Shippo didn't take that very well and went missing for a large amount of time. I wasn't able to locate him seeing as he hid himself very well with his fox magic. The child, however, survived and I raised it until Shippo decided to return. Luckily he came back before the child mistook me for its father. Since then, Shippo has improved and now he is a prestigious lawyer. I will take you to see him soon." He finished.

'Wow. Seems life really did go on without me. A small part of me kind of wanted them to not be able to live on without me but that was a selfish thought and I dismissed it as soon as it appeared. I wish I could have seen Sango's children. I bet they were as beautiful as she was. I am glad that Shippo is still with us. I miss him terribly and it will be nice to see him again.' My thoughts were interrupted when the waiter came with the check. "Thank you for lunch Sesshomaru, I really enjoyed it." I said actually meaning it. Sesshomaru nodded in acceptance and we both stood and exited the café.

As we got in the car, Sesshomaru spoke up. "I would like to see you again Kagome."

I was shocked at first. Why was the only thing I could think about. "Um…I'm pretty busy. I work a lot of hours at the hospital. I don't know how I can get away." I said.

"No need to worry, I spoke with your boss. He said as of now you are on a two week vacation." he said simply as if talking to other people's bosses was the most common thing in the world.

"What!! You talked to my boss? How dare you Sesshomaru! You have no right to butt into my work life!" I screamed at him. I was beyond angry and entering the valley of furious. How dare he talk to my boss? How dare my boss put me on an unwanted vacation? "I don't care what my boss said; I'm going back to work."

Sesshomaru gave out a small chuckle. "It matters not to me what you do, but your boss informed me that if he were to see you in the hospital before your two weeks were up that you can consider yourself out of a job."

I turned to him so quickly I might have given myself whiplash. "He said that?" I asked more to myself than Sesshomaru.

"Yes he did, and by the seriousness of his tone I suggest you do not go back to work." he recommended.

"Ugh, fine. But I don't know if I'll be spending this forced vacation with you." I sneered.

Sesshomaru seemed unaffected. He merely shrugged his shoulders. "It matters not how you spend you time. But the offer to spend it with me is still open and should you change you mind…" "I won't." I said interrupting him. "As I was saying, if you should change you mind here is my house number as well as my cell." he said handing me a small business card. Tashio Corp. Figures he would be involved with stock, doesn't surprise me at all that he is probably rich too. It doesn't matter where he is, Sesshomaru will always come out on top in any era.

I got out when I saw the car come to a stop. This time Sesshomaru didn't even offer to open the door. A part of me wanted him to just so I could yell at him. I sighed and picked up my purse. Shutting the car door I decided that he didn't deserve a goodbye so I turned sharply and headed to my car.

Right before I got in, I turned to look back. 'Course what I saw made me even madder if that's even possible. Sesshomaru had the cockiest grin on his face that I have ever seen. I huffed and got into my car, making sure to slam the door for extra measure. 'He really takes a pleasure in pissing me off. The only time I wasn't mad was when he was telling me about the Feudal Era'. I put the car in reverse and sped out of the hospital parking lot. You have a lot to learn Sesshomaru. Ever since that day I no longer take crap off of anyone, and that includes you. I thought heatedly as I headed for home.
