Breaking free
Chapter 11: Alone with him
Last time-
Early in the morning Sesshomaru got out the bed and made sure not to wake Kagura. He took off his jacket and put it over her. He then walked out the room. "Leaving so soon?" Kaede asked as she appeared behind him. "Yes, thank you for letting me stay the night. I think in a way I understand Kagura a little better. She's not as bad as people say she is," Sesshomaru said.
"That's good," Kaede said. They walked over to the door. "Oh here, I want you to have this photo album of Kagura. I have plenty," Kaede said. He took it. "Thanks for everything," Sesshomaru said. "Make sure to stop by soon oh and can you tell Kanna sorry for missing her?" Kaede asked. "Yes. Well bye," Sesshomaru said. "Bye. I'm glad Kagura is surrounded by kind people like you,'" Kaede said as she waved good bye. Sesshomaru made his way down the shrine stairs.
"I'm sure one day she'll follow you too as long as you don't leave her too far behind. I know the day will come when she will take you're helping hand. Just like she took mine," Kaede thought.
Kagura soon woke up. She sat up in her bed. His jacket fell off her bed. "Huh? Isn't this Sesshomaru's jacket? How did it get here? I'm sure he isn't here," Kagura said. She got out of bed and held the jacket. She saw Kaede cooking in the kitchen. "Morning Kaede," Kagura said. Kaede turned around.
"Morning dear, did you sleep well?" Kaede asked. "Yeah, at first I was having a bad dream but then it disappeared," Kagura said.
"That's' good," Kaede said. "Kaede, do you know whose jacket this is?" Kagura asked. She turned around and looked at it. "No sorry," Kaede said. "Oh, this looks like the jacket my friend always wears," Kagura said.
"Well we can talk while we are eating. I'm sure you're hungry," Kaede said. "I sure am," Kagura said as she smiled.
NOW-
"Thanks for the food grandma," Kagura said as she put away the plates. "No problem. So Kagura tell me, are you feeling ok?" Kaede asked. "Yes, why do you ask?" Kagura asked. "No reason. So Kagura is there anything you would like to do?" Kaede asked. "Not really," Kagura asked.
"Then you should head back home now," Kaede said. "Why? I was hoping I can help you with things you need to do," Kagura asked. "Don't worry about me dear. I don't want to keep you here now," Kaede said.
"You sure you don't need me to do anything?" Kagura asked. "I'm certain, now get going. You aren't going to get anywhere in life if you stay here," Kaede said as she pushed Kagura towards the door.
"Do you not want me here?" Kagura asked. "No, it's just…I'm expecting some people soon so you shouldn't be here. I mean they're old like me. You wouldn't want to hang around old folks now would you?" Kaede asked.
"I guess if you put it that way," Kagura said. "Good, now come visit again but not to soon. Oh and drive carefully now," Kaede said as she handed her bag to her. "Well ok bye then," Kagura said. "Bye," Kaede said.
Kagura then made her way down the shrine stairs. "Well that was weird," Kagura said as she got in her car and drove off. She looked at the jacket next to her. "I could have sworn he was wearing this when I left yesterday morning. Maybe I'm just over thinking things. He doesn't even know how to get here," Kagura thought.
She soon got back to Sesshomaru's place. She got out her car with the jacket around her arms and walked into the house. She was surprised to not find anyone home. "Where is everyone?" Kagura wondered.
She then noticed a note on the table.
"Hey Kagura,
Me, Kanna and Inuyasha went to an amusement park. Be back sometime tonight. Call me if you need anything."
Kagome
"Amusement park? Then where did he go?" Kagura wondered. She put the note down and walked upstairs. "I should change clothes but first I need to take a nice warm bath," Kagura thought as she put the jacket down on the bed. She then grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom.
She watched the hot water fill the bathtub then got in. "This feels so good. I can't think of the last time I took a relaxing warm bath like this," Kagura said. She started to hum. After a while she got out of the tub and wrapped the white towel around her body.
She brushed her hair then walked out the bathroom and into Sesshomaru's room. "Now what shall I wear today?" Kagura wondered.
Kagura opened Sesshomaru's closet and noticed his jacket missing. Something then fell on the ground. She picked it up and opened it. It was her photo album. "So he was there yesterday, I wasn't imagining it after all. I thought I heard his voice too. That means… he held my hand the whole night and… I think I was using his chest as a pillow…" Kagura said as she began to blush.
"I hope I didn't say anything while I was sleeping. Then again if I did! Ah! How can I face him now?" Kagura wondered. She put everything back in the closet and walked out his room. She then bumped into Shessomaru. "Um Sesshomaru sorry, excuse me," Kagura said as she tried to walk past him. But Sesshomaru turned around and grabbed her arm.
Sesshomaru looked at her. Her hair was down and still dripping wet. He then looked at her body. "Where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked. "I…was going to get some…um," Kagura started to say.
"Have you eaten anything?" Sesshomaru asked. "No…I mean yes. I ate while I was at Kaede's," Kagura said. "Will you a company to my family's restaurant?" Sesshomaru asked. "But I've already eaten so why would I go?" Kagura asked. "You do not have to eat. I have some business there. I don't want to leave you here by your self," Sesshomaru said. She looked at him. "Ok…" Kagura said. "It's not like he was going to take no for an answer," Kagura thought.
"Good, hurry and get dressed then. We will be leaving in five minutes," Sesshomaru said as he let go of her arm. "What am I suppose to wear?" Kagura asked. "There is a red dress in my closet. You shall wear that," Sesshomaru.
"Red dress? I didn't see I mean ok. I'll go get ready now," Kagura said as she walked back into his room. "Well at least I won't be alone with him. He did say business so other people have to be there," Kagura thought as she opened the closet and looked for a red dress.
She found it and took it off. She looked at it. "What is this?!" Kagura shouted. It was a little below her waist. It showed a lot of her chest as well. It had see-thru sleeves. "Where did he get something like this from?" Kagura said.
She put it on. She found some red heels and put them on as well. "I'm going to make him regret getting this. Who does he think he is making me dress like some kind of slut," Kagura said angrily.
She brushed her hair then curled it. She put on some red lip stick and some black eyeliner. She walked out Sesshomaru's room and noticed him waiting in front of the door. Sesshomaru was stunned. "I knew she would look good in this but not this good," Sesshomaru thought.
"What's with this dress?!" Kagura shouted. "You don't like it?" Sesshomaru asked. "Look how short it is!" Kagura said. "Something wrong with that?" Sesshomaru asked. "Of course there is!" Kagura said.
"We should get going," Sesshomaru said as he walked away from her. "I'm not done talking!" Kagura said. He made his way downstairs. "He will defiantly pay for this," Kagura thought.
She carefully walked down the stairs making sure not to trip. She looked at Sesshomaru as he put his white jacket on. He had on a white tux with white dress shoes. He had his hair in a ponytail. She stared at him.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked. "Nothing," Kagura said as she walked over to him. They left the house and got in his car.
They soon arrived at the restaurant. "Wow, this place is huge," Kagura said. "It's even bigger inside," Sesshomaru said as they got out the car. They walked in. Her eyes widened. A waiter walked up to them. "Good afternoon Sesshomaru-sama. Your table is this way," He said. They followed him to the table.
They then sat down. "Would you like something to drink?" he asked. "Ice tea for me," Sesshomaru said. "And you miss?" he asked. "This place is like a castle," Kagura thought. "Miss?" he said.
"What?" Kagura asked. "What would you like for a drink?" he asked again. "Oh um water I guess," Kagura said. "I shall get that right away," he said as he walked off.
Sesshomaru was looking at the menu. "Hey!" Kagura said. "Hm?" Sesshomaru said. "Why are there only two seats? I thought we came here for business," Kagura said. "I lied," Sesshomaru said. "What do you mean you lied?!" Kagura asked.
"If I had asked you to come here with no reason you would have said no. So I made up a lie," Sesshomaru said. "Why the heck did you do that?" Kagura asked. "You keep avoiding me. This was the only way I could think of to get us alone. So I made the arrangements and gave Kanna and the others tickets to some amusement park," Sesshomaru said.
"I should have expected this. I want to go home then," Kagura demanded. "No," Sesshomaru said. "What do you mean no?" Kagura asked as she started to get mad. "Not till I get what I came here for," Sesshomaru said as he looked at her.
"And what might that be?" Kagura asked. "Answers," Sesshomaru said. "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point," Kagura said. "Why have you been avoiding me? Did I do something to make you angry? Is this some kind of pay back?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You brought me all the way here to ask me some questions that I won't answer?" Kagura asked. "Let's say I was taking a chance then," Sesshomaru said. "Well you failed miserably then," Kagura said.
"I guess I did," Sesshomaru said.
"Then again, since he did all this just to ask me those questions it must have been bothering him a lot. I'll give him his props. But taking me to some fancy family restaurant isn't going to get him anything," Kagura thought.
"Can we go home then?" Kagura asked. "No," Sesshomaru said. "Why? I'm not going to answer any of those questions," Kagura said. "Do you really dislike being near me that much?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagura didn't say anything. They both became silent. The waiter soon brought their drinks. "I'm going to the bathroom," Kagura said as she got up. "What is it going to take," Sesshomaru wondered.
"Bring us the best wine you have. Make it quick too," Sesshomaru ordered. "I'm not done yet," Sesshomaru thought. "Great now I have to find the bathroom. Why does this place have to be so big? Excuse me, where might I find the ladies room?" Kagura asked.
"I'll show you," she said. Kagura followed her. "Here we are. Will that be all?" She asked. "Yes, thank you," Kagura said. She walked into the bathroom.
"Here you go sir, this is our finest wine," he said as he poured it into two wine glasses. He then walked off. Kagura made her way back to their table and sat down. A group of people started to play music on stage. Kagura watched them play.
"This is not going well at all," Sesshomaru thought.
"Maybe I should ask him about last night," Kagura wondered. People began to dance. "Last night, you were at your place right?" Kagura asked. "Let's dance," Sesshomaru said as he stood up.
He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. He put one arm on her shoulder and the other on her waist. "What is he trying to accomplish by doing all this?" Kagura wondered. "What are you thinking about?" Sesshomaru asked. "None of your business," Kagura said as she looked away from him.
Sesshomaru sighed. "Kagura are you not enjoying this?" Sesshomaru asked. "I don't know…" Kagura said.
The lights soon dimmed. Kagura looked at Sesshomaru's face. The people on stage stopped playing. A girl wearing a short dress walked onto the stage and became too sing.
"Do you think you love me... Ooo we!
I THINK I LOVE YOU!
I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Then all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread ...
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
and never talk about it
and did not go and shout it
when you walked into the room ...
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
"Why can't I tell him….," Kagura thought. Sesshomaru looked at her confused face.
I think I love you
so what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say
Hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you
so what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've go so much to think about
Hey! I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way"
She then bowed. Everyone stopped dancing and clapped. She then walked off the stage. Sesshomaru then let go of Kagura. "Kagura listen, there is something I have to tell you," Sesshomaru said.
"What is it?" Kagura asked. "This might be my only chance," Sesshomaru thought. A tall girl with long black hair while wearing a white halter dress. "Long time no see Sesshomaru," she said. They both turned and looked at her. "Who's she?" Kagura asked.
"You don't know who I am? Sesshomaru how could you not tell her about us?" she asked. "What do you mean?" Kagura asked. "Kikyo don't," Sesshomaru said. "Kikyo?"Kagura said.
"I'm Kikyo; I've known Sesshomaru since we were little kids. You can say we're on and off lovers," Kikyo said. "Lovers…." Kagura repeated. "So who's this skank Sesshy? Were you that bored while I was gone? You could have done better if you ask me. But hey I'm back now so you can leave now," Kikyo said as she looked at her.
"Who the hell are you calling a skank?!" Kagura shouted.
"You of course. I mean look how you are dressed. You look like a slut oh wait I forgot you are one. You're just like the rest. Going after Sesshomaru for his money. Why do you hang around people like that Sesshomaru?" Kikyo asked.
"Stop Kikyo," Sesshomaru said. "You little bitch! I ain't a fucking skank or slut!" Kagura shouted. "Kagura calm down," Sesshomaru said. "I will not calm down! You heard what she just said about me!" Kagura said angrily.
"She has a bad temper to. Girls like her should not be allowed to be in public. She probably causes trouble for everyone around her. I would get away from her as soon as I can. Who knows what kind of trouble she'll get you in," Kikyo said as she smirked.
Kagura didn't say anything. "I knew it I am right," Kikyo said. "Kagura," Sesshomaru said. "She's right…I shouldn't be around you…I'll be leaving then. Good bye," Kagura said as she ran out. Tears ran down her face.
"That's better," Kikyo said. "You talk to much Kikyo. You went too far," Sesshomaru said. "I was just speaking the truth. Besides you should be thanking me. Who knows what kind of trouble you could have gotten in because of her," Kikyo said.
"Get out of my face. The only person causing me trouble is you," Sesshomaru said. He was pissed. "Why? I came all the way back from America to see you," Kikyo asked. "Then go back there. And this time don't come back either," Sesshomaru said as he walked away from her.
"Wait Sesshomaru!" Kikyo shouted. Everyone looked at her. "Stop looking at me!" Kikyo shouted.
Sesshomaru walked out the restaurant and tried to find Kagura. "She shouldn't have gotten far," he thought as he got in his car.
Kagura was sitting on a swing at a park waiting for Kagome to come pick her up. Kagome soon picked up. She walked over to Kagura. "What happened?" Kagome asked. "I just want to go home," Kagura said in a low tone.
Kagome nodded her head. They got in the car and drove off to her apartment. "You sure you don't want me to stay here with you?" Kagome asked. "I'm sure. Take care of Kanna for me. Don't tell Sesshomaru I'm here got it. I don't want to see or talk to him," Kagura said as she sat on her couch.
"Why? Did you two get in some kind of fight?" Kagome asked. "No, I don't want to be a bother that's all," Kagura said.
"I'm confused," Kagome said. "Don't worry about it. You better get going now. I'm going to bed. I'll talk to you later," Kagura said as she stood up. "Got it, hope you feel better soon. Bye," Kagome said. She then left.
Kagura laid on her bed looking at her ceiling. "I must be really stupid," Kagura thought.
DUN DUN DUN! Hope you liked it. Please leave a review. Also I thank the person (forgot name sorry) who told me how to spell Sesshomaru's name right. I feel really dumb ha-ha. Anyways next time on Breaking free:
"We shouldn't see each other anymore. I want to thank you for taking care of me for all this time though. I really am grateful," Kagura said. "Why is it so hard for you to be near me?" Sesshomaru asked. "It's not that I don't like being around you…when I'm around you I feel really safe….and I like that feeling a lot," Kagura said.
"Then why don't you want to see me?" Sesshomaru asked. "It's better this way," Kagura said. "Why is that?" Sesshomaru asked. "Because it just is…." Kagura said.
"If you're doing this to protect me then you're to late. I've already put myself in your problem. There is no use in backing out now," Sesshomaru said.
"Why can't you just leave me alone? I don't want to be around you any more. Get it in your head! Ok!" Kagura shouted. Tears formed in her eyes. Sesshomaru then hugged her. "Push me away all you want but I'll just keep coming back," Sesshomaru said.
"Why? Why do you care so much about me?" Kagura asked. "Because I've fallen in love with you. Asking me to stay away from you is something I can't do even if I wanted too. So no matter how far you run away from me, no matter where you go I will find you. That's a promise," Sesshomaru said.
It started to rain. "Sesshomaru….I…I," Kagura started to say. "Shhh, you don't need to say it now," Sesshomaru said. Kagura looked at his face. He brought his face closer to her. They shared a passionate kiss. They then moved apart.
They stared into each others eyes. "Lets go home now," Sesshomaru said. Kagura nodded her head.
