The Struggle to be Who You Are
Kagome blinked and started to think out loud "It all makes sense now. Sesshomaru he…he's…"
Sesshomaru grabbed her hand. This was hard to learn about your family and especially since whoever wanted her parent's dead had the job done.
"He's an underground drug dealer." At that moment Kagome started to cry, everything her father did had been a lie.
Kagome got up and walked out of her room with Sesshomaru following and she sat down on the couch. Before Sesshomaru sat down he decided he wanted to comfort her, even if she was still mad at him. He sat down and pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her. She felt warm and just started to fall asleep.
Sesshomaru had to go speak with his father. He lifted Kagome and went to set her in bed and pulled a blanket over her. He softly pushed some hair from her face and without realizing that she was slightly awake he kissed her forehead. He turned off her lights as he walked out the door. I wonder what he's thinking.
Sesshomaru walked next door to see Souta and Rin arriving home from school. Souta had decided he wanted to go that morning. "Hey Sesshomaru is my sis home?"
"Yes Souta she's upstairs sleeping. You and Rin are more than welcome to stay at my house and have to cook get you a snack."
Souta and Rin ran upstairs and Sesshomaru went to go find his father and tell him the news.
2 hours later;
Kagome woke to the smell of steak and potatoes downstairs. She remembered that smell when Sesshomaru cooked for her. This is exactly what they had on their first date when they were 14. Smiling she freshened up and went downstairs.
"What are you doing to my kitchen Sesshomaru?" He replied by bringing plates of food to the table and motioning for her to come sit.
"I thought that I would make dinner for us. Souta is staying at the house tonight and I thought we could talk after dinner." Kagome sat down at the table and both of them began to eat. She was glad that he made this. "Thank you for dinner Sesshomaru." Kagome grabbed their plates and started to wash them. "Do you mind if I help?" Sesshomaru took the soapy dish and rinsed and they continued until all of their dinner dishes were cleaned and put away. Sesshomaru was the first to sit down on the couch and he was glad.
"Sesshomaru, I will marry you according to the will, but it has to be done before winter break."
"What."
"You heard me; if we're going to be married it has to happen in the next week."
"Why."
"I have to get to the bottom of my dad's business and I want the merger to happen as soon as possible. I can do that after we get married."
"You're going to throw away your life just to find out what your dad did?"
Why are you opposing this, you didn't care the other day."
Kagome was frustrated. She needed this to happen. She loved him, she really did and if marrying him was going to make him admit he loved her she was going to make him do it.
"I'm going to go tell Toga then."
"Kagome I want you to make this decision on more than it being about your dad. I want you to marry me because you love me. I want to marry you because…"
Sesshomaru walked over to her, it was now or never. He had to apologize before he could tell her.
"Kagome, I'm sorry for all those years I ignored you and pushed you away. I was angry and bitter. I never meant to hurt you."
Kagome began to cry, she didn't think he would do all this. She forgave him a long time ago, but this didn't fix much. They hardly knew each other anymore. The only thing that stayed the same the whole time was their feelings.
"Kagome, I want to marry you but we have to fix our problems first."
Kagome sat next to him on the couch and laid her head on his chest. "Sesshomaru, we can fix our problems, but I have to fix my family problem first. Just say you'll marry me and we can fix everything on the way."
"Yes, I will marry you. We can tell my father tomorrow." Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around Kagome and sat back against the couch. He didn't know if this was a good idea but it didn't hurt to try.
He looked down at her. Kagome looked up to his golden eyes and as he lowered his face to her ear he whispered one thing.
"I love you"
