Previously…
"Fine," Kikyo said.
"Now I must be on my way. I have a engagement that I must attend. Good-bye Kikyo," Sesshomaru said leaving the house.
Kagome's P.O.V.
What the hell am I suppose to do. Sesshomaru will be here any second and…I don't know what to do. This is a bad idea.
knock, knock, knock
Oh god he is here.
I quickly check myself in the mirror next to my front door. I look through the peep hole next. Yep, its him alright, I think. I opening the door and smile. Its not returned. "Come in," I whisper. I admit in sad. Its been a long time and he is not himself. Of course I'm older but I'm still Kagome.
"Listen Kagome…" he starts.
"Anything to drink?" I asked. I boy I'm a complete moron! I scorn myself.
"No, now don't interrupt," he states coldly. I plop down on my sofa and stare at him. It seems he refuses to sit for sometime. The awkward silence lasts for a little while. "I really don't know what I'm doing here," he says. Ouch!
"Then why don't you leave if you cant be here?" I ask.
"I must talk to you before I leave," he said. "I lied before. I am…still in love with Kikyo. I'm sorry I didn't tell you," I break the eye contact and look out my bay window, how beautiful the sunset. At least there is something that is good about this moment. "Kikyo has decided it would be best if we split up though,"
"Your lying,"
"What?" he asked coldly.
"Your not in love with her, your just afraid of something. I think I know what it is but I'm not positive. I sure hope I'm not right. Sesshomaru?" I say.
"Yes?"
"Are you ashamed that I'm human? That my family is from a long line of priest and priestesses? Your enemies," I ask.
"…no…" he states dryly.
"Liar, you have changed a lot, but even with your exterior of a stoic bastard I can still tell when you are lying. Your just protecting your reputation. I do admit I'm naïve, but not that naïve. Tell me did you realize this on the drive over?" I ask looking into my lap.
"No more lies. I indeed did realize what I was putting on the line when I came over here. I'm not the same man you new from before. I have responsibilities. I'm not going to get gunned down like my father did for mating with a human," he said. Double ouch! I thought.
"So…you came here to tell me this. Okay well I know, so…bye," I said holding back my tears. No way was I going to let him see me cry.
"Very well," he said walking towards the door.
"Wait, so your really going to, to just leave?" I ask.
"Kagome, I am not fooling around," he said sternly.
"Neither am I. You're the one that said second chance. After this no more. You walk out that door, and return to the life you hate. Or you can be with someone who actually loves you," I said walking closer to him.
"This was a mistake. I'm wasting your time," he said, leaving for a second time.
This time I choked down my tears and decided that I wasn't going to run away from my problems like a juvenile teenager. I'm going to stay here. In this nice two bed apartment with s well paying job with benefits.
I sucked it up and was making my way.
Six weeks have passed and Sesshomaru's divorce was all over the news. Every where you looked he was there on it. I didn't feel sorry. He's a bastard. He deserves it. Okay so I lied. I'm still in love with him, but if he was on my door step soaking wet and coughing up a lung I wouldn't help him. Okay I lied again. I would give him a blanket and w place to stay. Temporarily.
Life has been going good for me. For instance the place that I work at is doing great. The new line is actually wearable. Sango and me are great friends. That's pretty much a given. She is almost like me, the only difference is the relationship she has with her long time boy toy Miroku.
It seems like I'm the third wheel. Miroku offers me that he can get someone to break me in, but I smack him when he says that, then me and Sango tag team him, and when he says he likes where this is going Sango knocks him out with a pillow. I know how do you do that, right? Well Sango has many talents. One being how she can keep that dog Miroku on a leash. She's quite the trooper to put up with that henti.
I know I'm babbling but lets get you filled in on my and Sesshomaru. I've seen him all the time. On the television. Once in person, but it was in a crowd and he didn't even notice me. But still every time he looks into the camera it seems like he is looking directly at me, and that he is trying to look for me. Seems idiotic but why can't I have an opinion?
Okay currently I'm hanging at Sango and Miroku's place, with some of there friends.
Lets just say Sango's friends are normal, but Miroku's friends…well need I say more.
Anyme, and Yura are Sango's friends. Yura owns her own hair salon, and Anyme, is a pilot, for a tour company that gives air tours to well paying customers.
Koga, Naraku, Bankotsu, and Suikotsu are Miroku's friends. Koga was with Anyme, but insists that every woman known to earth is his. Naraku, is…well the quite type. He is a tycoon, in business. That's all the Sango told me. Bankotsu is a swordsman, he performs for tourist. Suikotsu, is a doctor. It shocked me at first but he said that he graduated early , and was sent straight to medical school. His father insisted. It was the family tradition.
Suikotsu is the only one of Miroku's friends that I like. He's down to earth and likes to talk about world problems. He's really handsome too. With his medium black brown hair, and light brown eyes. He's a looker, but is still miss Sesshomaru.
"I'm still waiting for one more person to show, he should be here," Miroku said. "He likes to be late. He said he was bring a date, I think she might be hot," he finished.
"They always are when he picks them," Koga said earning a hit on the shoulder from Anyme.
"Who are they talking about?" I asked Sango.
"I have know clue, it might just be the affects of the alcohol," she replied.
"I am not drunk," Miroku said pretending to stagger. We all laughed when he tripped over the couch and landed face first on Naraku.
"What the duce!" Miroku said. We started laughing hysterically.
Then the doorbell rang. The mystery guest. Koga and Miroku both got up rambling how they wanted to see the hot girl first. Anyme and Sango rolled their eyes at them.
When Miroku entered again I wasn't facing him. I was talking to Suikotsu.
Miroku coughed and announced the mystery guest. "Ladies and Gentlemen I announce Kagura, and Sesshomaru.
"Miroku do you have to introduce us like that…" I turned around quickly and saw Sesshomaru stop in his tracks.
We started at each other a moment, earning weird looks from the others.
I turned to Sango "Oh I just remember," I said with a fake smile, " I have to go grocery shopping in the morning. I have to hit the road. But I'll see you guys later," I said waving to all the people I met. I bowed to Kagura but didn't even give Sesshomaru my acknowledgement.
