Kagome watched the rain pound against the window of her room. After hearing her sob her heart out on the phone, Kagome had taken a few days off of work at her mother's insistence and drove herself and Shippo to the shrine. Kurama had called her continuously for three days, leaving a barrage of messages on her cellphone begging for forgiveness. Every time he called, Kagome would cry as he told her that he was sorry and he loved her. Her phone began to ring again and she turned on he radio do drown out the ringing.
See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side.
I'll wait for you.
Slight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait.
And I'll wait without you.
With or without you.
With or without you
Kagome reduced to a crying mess on her bed.

Kurama hung up the phone with a sigh and sat back on the sofa. Three days. It had been three days since a stupid mistake had ruined his life. He felt like his whole world had come crashing down around him as he replayed the scene over and over again in his head. She had looked so heartbroken. He had done that.
Through the storm we reach the shore, you gave it all but I want more.
And I'm waiting for you.
With or without you.
With or without you.
I can't live, with or without you.
And you give yourself away.
And you give yourself away.
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away.
Sighing again, he picked up his jacket and car keys and began to make his way to Kagome's mother's shrine. Kagome always told him that whenever she was hurting, she went there. He drove for about half an hour in the rain before he reached the shrine, having no trouble locating it because he had been there a few times before. Noticing Akira's car missing, he put the lapels of his coat up to try and stop some of the rain reaching his neck and walked up the stairs. Reaching the top, he knocked on the door now soaked to the bone.

My hands are tied.
My body bruised, she got me with.
Nothing to win and nothing left to lose.
And you give yourself away.
And you give yourself away.
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away.
Kagome heard a knock at the front door and assumed that her brother had forgotten his keys again. She dried her eyes and walked down to the hallway. Opening the door, she gave a small cry and closed it again. "Go home Kurama, I don't want to see you right now.
Kurama pounded on the door once more. "Please Kagome, open the door.
Kagome gave a weak sob and bit her lip. "No.
"Kagome please! I want to talk, please let me in. He pleaded.
With or without you.
With or without you.
I can't live, with or without you.
Kagome opened the door and stepped outside. "I'm here so talk.
"These last few days have been hell. I hate fighting with you, and I hate that you hate me right now. I wish I'd have listened to you, I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating on me. It's just, you're the best thing to come into my life in a long time and I don't want to loose you. Kurama said. "Please forgive me.
"Why should I? Kagome said. "Relationships are built on trust and it's obvious you can't trust me. Why should I let you into my life if you can't trust me not to fuck around on you?
"Because I was an idiot. Because I know you won't. Because I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. Because I was a bigger idiot. And because I love you. He said, reaching out to touch her.
Thunder rumbled and Kagome shook her head, leaning into his touch. "I love you too, but I won't be hurt Kurama.
He held her tight as the rain poured onto the relentlessly. "Please give me another chance. Don't let me loose you.
"One more chance. You screw up again and we're over. Kagome replied. She looked up at his from her position on his chest. "I mean it Kurama, you get one more crack at the whip. Don't blow it, it would kill me to loose you.
"Thank you tenshi, I promise I won't fuck up again. He said. Kurama bent down and captured her lips on a sweet kiss.
Unfortunately, their moment was ruined.
"Ewww, momma! That's gross!
Kagome and Kurama broke apart quickly. Her head looked over to Shippo who was standing under his Froggy umbrella, holding onto his grandma's hand. "Hey sweetheart, did you have fun at the store?
He nodded, running over to her and splashing in puddles as he ran. ⌠Look what grandma got me! He said, holding up his hands to show off his new gloves. "Aren't they cool!
"Yes they are sweetie. Why don't you and grandma go and put the groceries away and I'll be inside in a moment. Kagome replied with a soft smile. "Don't forget to put your wellies in the bathtub to dry.
"I won't! He yelled out as he ran into the house.
Kurama smiled at Kagome. "I should go. I'll call you tonight okay.
Kagome nodded. "Alright.
He caressed her cheek and gave her a sweet kiss. "I love you Kagome.
"I love you too. She smiled. She walked into the house to search for her son.
Kurama turned and gave Akira a small bow. "Good afternoon Higurashi-san.
Akira nodded. "Kurama. I am happy that you and my daughter were able to patch things up, but if you ever make her cry again.
"I know, my mother always told me that nothing is worse than a mother's wrath. Kurama replied. "I promise you that I'd rather die that make tears fall from my tenshi's eyes again.
"Good. Now, would you like to stay for dinner or do you have other plans? Akira asked.
"Sadly, I am having dinner with my mother tonight, but perhaps I could introduce you one day? Mother has taken a real liking to Kagome. Kurama frowned for a moment. "She keeps mentioning babies. It's quite scary.
Akira chuckled. "I understand that. A mother will always wish for her child's
happiness. "You're lucky that I have Shippo or I'd be hounding Kagome much like your mother is you.
Kurama grinned. "I'm quite taken with Shippo myself. Well, I must go. Good day Higurashi-san.
"Good day Kurama. I hope to see you again soon. She said before going inside.
