Chapter 10: Ripped Apart But Still Together

Kagome's POV

I have been talking to the police now for five hours straight. Sitting here in this small room, waiting for them to leave me alone. They keep pressuring me into saying I saw Sesshomaru kill that demon. But I didn't and I'm glad I didn't.

"I didn't see him do it. Everyone went outside and I can't remember much else." I said meekly.

"You were there! You are only protecting your boyfriend!" The policeman yelled back. I cringed and started to cry.

"Leave her in here. We'll try again in a few minutes."

I remembered the message Sesshomaru left me. He said he was going to have to leave the country for awhile. But he wasn't going to leave without me. If I could just get out of here! I would be able to meet him and leave this nightmare behind. He said we're going to go to America and we start over fresh. No cops to worry about, no stupid rival gangs. Unless he starts his gang anew there. I haven't thought of that! What if Sesshomaru won't give up drag racing? What should I do?

"Alright Ms. Higurashi your free to go." The policeman looked quite annoyed. I walked past him and saw Sango waving. She mouthed 'I got you a lawyer!' I nodded my head in understanding.

Grateful to be outside again, I breathed in the night air. I could see all the city lights flickering around me. But my mind is elsewhere. What am I going to do about Sesshomaru? I sighed aloud, in pure dismay.

"Kagome, are you ok?" Ayame was right beside me, putting her arm around my shoulders in some kind of attempt to comfort me.

"No." I answered without really thinking of what I was saying.

"What's wrong? Well besides the obvious, I mean."

I handed her my cell phone and showed her the text message I got from my mother.

'Kagome I'm sorry to have to do this. But I can't have you leading your brother down your misguided path. I have packed your things and they will be sitting outside the front door if you would like to pick them up. But no longer will you live under my roof. I hope you can someday forgive me for this decision. And always know that I love you. Goodbye Kagome.'

"Oh! Kagome I'm so sorry!" exclaimed Ayame as she released her grip around my shoulders and brought her hands to her mouth to hide the gaping hole.

I kept walking, ignoring my friend. I knew now what I would have to do. I have to find Sesshomaru. So I ran, as fast as I could. I ran to where he said he would be. I just hoped I wasn't to late, that he hadn't already left me.

Sesshomaru's POV

I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for the woman I love to come to me. I'm afraid she doesn't want to be with me after the incident at the docks. She knows I killed that pathetic demon but she doesn't know how. It's almost time for me to leave. I can't wait here much longer without risking the police finding out that I'm leaving the country. Please hurry Kagome. The plane's engine roared to life as the pilot said "It's time to go Mr. Taisho."

I ignored him, as I looked down the runway and back over to the hangar's entrance. Hoping to see her black hair and that gorgeous smile, right along with that perfect body walk in. Wishing to hear her give some cocky excuse as to why she's late. But as the pilot yelled again it was time to leave my hopes were dashed. I turned around to enter the plane and close the door, when I heard her sweet voice.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome ran into the hangar, completely out of breath and sweaty. She stopped short of the plane and had the most heartbroken expression on her face. It nearly tore my soul in two. I told the pilot to wait and flung myself out of that air plane and ran to her. I grabbed Kagome in my arms and pulled her close, kissing her so desperately that when we broke apart neither of us could breath.

"Sesshomaru." she murmured.

"Kagome come with me. Don't leave me." I begged her. The desperation in my voice could be heard, but it was of little consequence to me.

"I love you." she whispered, looking so deep in thought. "I want to be with you but I have one question I must ask you." Those deep brown eyes looked into mine with such determination that I knew whatever she was about ask to me would either keep as together or rip us apart. My heart seemed to stop beating as I waited for her to speak. The suspense is driving me insane as I wait for her to say something. I can see the war raging inside her head as she struggles to form the right words.

"Sesshomaru will you give up the life of being a gangster? Will you just leave it all behind here?" I could see the fear behind her words. Slowly I inhaled and then I responded.

"Kagome I will give it all up to be with you. If I am to stay here I will be thrown in prison for who knows how long because I am a demon. My life span is much longer than that of a human, much longer than yours. That is why I ask you to come with me. So we ca spend your lifetime together." I reached down and lifted her chin to meet my eyes to show her the sincerity behind my words.

"Mr. Taisho we need to leave now." the pilot behind me yelled.

"Will you come with me, my love?" I asked.

"Thank you Sesshomaru!" Kagome wrapped her arms around my neck and wept into my shoulder. I picked her up bridal style and placed her inside the plane. The plane exited the hangar and was in the air within a matter of minutes. Kagome explained everything that had happened between her mother and herself. Guilt was worming it's way inside my gut. For I am the one who caused such pain in her life. But I swear to myself and the world that I will not rest until I make her happy again. I will see my Kagome smile once more. She's changed so vastly from when we first met. Kagome is more meek and mellow but I hope she will regain that fiery temper with time. Once we arrive in America I take over my father's company and be it's CEO again. The giant computer manufacturer is only a small part of what the business does. From stock trading to shipping products over seas is what my father built. Good honest work, that will make Kagome happy.

Kagome's POV

It's been four years now since that life alternating experience in Japan occurred. Sesshomaru and I are now married and soon to be expecting our first child. I think back over the years and see how my life was so out of control. My mother was right for making me leave. But we've been talking and slowly rebuilding our relationship over the past two years. I can never step foot in Japan again for fear of being thrown into jail. Sesshomaru has been true to his word and hasn't dragged raced or been involved in any gang activity since we've entered America. Our lives will never be the same again but I know it's better this way. I know my father can look down from heaven and be proud to call me his daughter.
