When Kagome opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing that crossed her mind was the note which she had found on the bouquet of lilies, she looked over to her bedside and saw the lilies, they were a little dehydrated but still their smell freshened up the room. Her eyes roamed the room until it reached her alarmclock when she realized that she was already running late. She hurriedly got up , got dressed and went for her shop.

The day went on smoothly and she caught no sign of the strange customer. When Kagome closed her shop and was heading towards caught up with her and they walked to Kagome's house, when Kagome offered to have some coffee together. Kouga went inside and sat I the living room.

When Kagome brought the coffee, Kouga began, "I have something to tell you Kagome".

Kagome raised her eyes and looked at him in deep apprehension.

She said," Yes?".

"Well , my company has offered me a promotion in my job…."

"Well that's wonderful, Kouga. I know how much you worked hard for this…this is a great news."

"Yeah, but for that they have planned my transfer to Madrid and I have to leave tomorrow for that"

Kgome eyes softened and a sad palour spread over her face. It was not that she had special feelings for Kouga but that his presence as a supporting friend was to be missed much.

She said," It's okay. I would obviously want you to succeed in life. Its just that…", Kagome lifted her eyes and looked at him with glossy eyes," I'll miss you a lot".

Kouga could not help but hug her tightly and say," I know, I'll miss you too. I promise I'll come back soon and I'll call you everyday. Don't worry I'll always be by your side."

Kagome hugged back and smiled ever soo happily feeling herself lucky to have got a friend like him.

The next day went unusually dramatic. Kouga had shifted to Madrid and he kept calling her at night speaking for hours. Kagome was happy that Kouga was having a nice time there.

A week passed and on a quiet Saturday evening, when Kagome was returning home from her shop she wasn't watching her step and she collided with someone.

She fell on her butt and hurt her hands , with all the bouquets slipping from her hands and scattering all over the duo. A hand extended to her and she got hold of it . On getting she started dusting herself and said a small thank you.

When her eyes fell on the stranger she was surprised and she murmured," Inu…..Inuyasha".

Inuyasha lifted his face after gathering all the fallen flowers and looked at her with a genuine smile and said," Hey…..Kagome".

They stayed caught in each other's eyes for a long while with amazed gaze . Kagome said," How are you? And what are you doing here?".

Inuyasha said ," I left it."

Kagome a bit confused and shocked on hearing this, said," Why? What about Kikyo? And all? Weren't you to start off your own business?".

Inuyasha looked away and said,"Yeah , I did."

Kagome saw the sadness drawing its borders on his eyes and decided to change the topic. She said,"Why don't we go over to our house and have a nice talk?"

Inuyasha smiled and said," Yeah, I'll go for that".

Kagome smiled and took him to his house.

On reaching Kagome's house, Inuyasha looked around and saw the beautifully decorated interiors. He asked," You did all these decorations? They seem so like you"

Kagome looked at him and smiled," yes I did all these designs….i told you during the college days, isn't it that when I'll have my own house I''ll design on my own , I did it."

"I miss those days , Kagome don't you?"

Kagome nodded. Hiding her feelings , she asked casually," Sugar?".

Inuyasha said," One spoon only".

While taking a close view , his eyes fell on the showcase and he saw some photo graphs. One of them was Kagome with her family, another one was their group picture with Kagome's face grave and Inuyasha sporting a happy grin excited to meet Kikyo. "Ahh, how wrong was I". Then he saw beside everything, Kagome's and Kouga 's duo picture with a dashy smile plastered on each of their faces. Inuyasha's blood boiled on seeing that Kouga, swooping Kagome under his arm. He thought, 'I promise you Kouga you never have to come back to her again'.

Just then Kagome entered with a tray of two coffee mugs. She gave one to Inuyasha and said," So, how is Kikyo?"

Inuyasha took his mug and stopped half way to his mouth when he heard the question. He put down the coffee and said," We broke off. She wasn't meant for me."

A pang of joy leaped a beat in Kagome's heart as she veiled her happiness and asked," Why , what happened?".

"She loved my money and not me…"

"Oh, I am so sorry Inuyasha, I never knew she would turn up like this." However in her heart she was feeling ecstatic.

Inuyasha lifted his head and said,"Its okay , Kagome . I have no feelings for her now. She is just a person who showed me the right way". Thinking now how he had mistaken his decision of leaving Kagome.

Kagome asked,"What decision?".

" mind,"putting downhis finished mug,"I better leave now. I have to go well, shall we meet tomorrow at your shop".

Kagome nodded then a thought struck her, she said," Inuyasha?".

Inuyasha turned and said," Yes, what?"

"How do you know that…..i run a shop?"

A realization swept Inuyasha as he blushed at his own mistake of tongue- slipping a truth and said,"Well, the lilies were fresh weren't they?", he grinned and went away.

Kagome smiled at his silly boo-boo and said,"Yes, they were fresh."

The next day, when Kagome was tending to the flowers, Inuyasha dropped b and asked,"Kagome you mind if we had a day out together , just for today, if you don't mid."

Kagome's eyes beamed with the long lost shine , she was happy that she was going out with her love. What more could have happened.
