Chapter 10 - The Taisho's

When the car came to a halt, I stuck my head out of the window. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. It was the biggest mansion I'd ever seen.

"Sesshomaru w-where are we?"

"Come in and see."

I followed him up the trail, to the large house on the hill. We reached the top. He knocked on the door, Inuyasha answered.

"Sesshomaru, Kagome? Uhh.. your hair. It looks nice."

"Thanks.. I guess. Are you going to invite us in?"

"Oh yeah my bad. Of course, come in."

The house looked amazing. White tapestries hung from the walls. A grand staircase sat into the middle. From top to bottom it was entirely made of marble from what I could see.

"Stay here. I'll be right back." Sesshomaru left the room leaving me alone with Inuyasha.

He led me into the living room. It was larger than my house.. his, house. I took a seat across from him.

"Kagome I'm so sor-"

"Don't worry. You don't have to apologize. He probably scares you more than he did me. Last time you stuck up for me, he beat the crap out of you. I don't blame you. So, don't worry about. Okay?"

He gulped, nodding vigorously. We sat in silence, until Sesshomaru entered the living room with his father. The older looking man, sat beside me resting his hand on my shoulder.

"Ms. Higarashi, my son has informed me about your situation. I am deeply sorry about what has happened. Do you even remember me?"

"Of course I do Mr. Taisho, how could I forget you?" I smiled.

Despite of all the bullshit that's been going on. After everything that has happened, I've managed to bury the dark twisted broken weakling of girl I was a few days ago. All of the sadness, all of the tears wrapped up tight and stuffed deep down inside and... I smiled. But I guess it didn't work because he saw right through me. He hugged me rubbing my back. I bawled and bawled, all the time I'd spent hiding this side of me slipped. I slipped just this once. I leaned back wiping my eyes.

I sniffled. "Thank you."

""Anytime. I just want you to know that you're always welcomed here, and please call me papa."

"Papa?!" I nearly fell out of my chair.

"Of course, you and Sesshomaru are involved. Which makes you part of the family my girl." He said slapping me on the back.

"Father refrain yourself before you break my intended."

"I-intended?"

A blush spread across his cheeks like wildlife. "I mean i-if that's what you want."

I grinned so hard my face hurt. Getting teary-eyed all over again. "I do.. I mean of course!"

Sesshomaru stepped forward. "Kagome there's something else I need to tell you."

My face fell. "What is it?""

"I didn't want to tell you this at the hospital but it's Sango and your mother."

In that moment I could've sworn my heart stopped. "W-What happened to them?"

"It seems that she's has left."

"Left? Left where?!"

"When the police went to speak to her, they had found that her house was empty. She had left a note, saying that she was taking her mother and I quote. Getting the hell out of here. They went to your mother's house next, it was empty. All her things had been packed. They don't know when they left, or where they've gone.. Kagome I'm sorry."

"She left me? I'm not surprised can't really blame her.. how can I ? At least now they're safe. Where ever they are." I wiped the single tear that rolled down my cheek.

Inu-Taisho cleared his throat. "Sesshomaru, help her get settled in will you. I have errands to run."

"Yes father."

"Come along Inuyasha, give these two lovebirds some time alone."

"Father!""

"I'm going , I'm going." I listened to them to the walk out of the house, getting in the car and driving away.

"He still hasn't changed." I said.

"I doubt he ever will. May I?" He asked sitting beside me.

I sat my leg on his lap. He unwrapped the bandage from around my leg.

"Your healing quite nicely."

"Do you think that they'll catch him?" I asked completely ignoring what'd he'd said.

"It is their job to, is it not? You said you hurt him, maybe he'll seek medical attention."

"He's a doctor Sesshomaru, he can fix himself up." I told him.

"What exactly did you do to him."

Scenes of that terrible day flashed through my mind. "I'd rather not talk about it, to be honest."

He nodded. "Alright. Come on." He held out his hand.

He pulled me into his chest, scooping me off the floor. He carried me up the staircase, into his bedroom. He laid me on the bed. He started undressing, I covered my eye when he dropped his pants.

"Do you need anything before I shower?"

"I uh.. no I'm good. I'm great actually." I listened waiting to hear the bathroom door to close.

I walked over to his dresser, unclasping the eyepatch. I looked over my eye, it had pretty much gone back to normal. Just a little cut sat on the corner of my eye. I dropped the patch on the dresser. I hadn't noticed how bad I had to pee. He wouldn't notice if I used the bathroom real quick, right? I cracked the door, slipping in. I peed quickly, wiping myself. Oh god now I had to flush... crap. That would make noise.

"Coming in?"

I spun around. "Who me? I uh.. no thanks I'm good I'll just.."

He turned off the shower. Stepping out, he bared it all.. and I mean all of it, and boy was it huge. I stared up at the ceiling. He walked over to me, pressing.. it, against my thigh. He grabbed me by the small of my back, pulling me closer. He licked and nibbled the nape of my neck. Leaving a trail of wet kisses up to my ear. He ran his thumb across my lips parting them, I inhaled deeply, giving my deprived lungs oxygen.. seeing that I'd forgotten to breath. Staring into his eyes. I pressed my lips his, shoving my tongue into his mouth, exploring the crevices of his mouth. Our tongues tangled in each other. My abusive murderous husband was out there on the loose and here I was living up with a gorgeous naked man in his bathroom. While he's soaking wet, I couldn't help myself. I mean... I'm only human. He deepened the kiss, running his fingers through my hair. I jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist. He walked me to the bed throwing me down, ripping off my clothes. I laid underneath him naked.. I started to get choked up again.

"Sesshomaru I'm sorry.. I can't.. I'm so sorry."

"Shh my love. It's okay. I understand. I will wait as long as you need me to.. as long as you want me to.

I kissed him. "Thank you."

He turned over, I laid on his chest. Inhaling his sweet scent.

"I love you Sesshomaru."

"I love you too Kagome."

I felt myself slowly drifting off into a deep sleep, then it hit me...

I forgot to flush the damned toilet.
