Ch. 59 A Brush with Sesshoumaru
"What?!" I stepped back out of his arms, 'no, no he couldn't' of, he loves me? I love him too. STUPID JERK WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO AND-I love him' There was a little battle going on in my head and all three voices were there. Suddenly one spoke up louder than the other two, ' If you love him, then break it off now before the curse gets a hold on him', and I realized, 'I would do anything for him I don't want him to die, I want him to live even if it's with someone else as long as he's alive and happy, I can live with out him, but I don't want to say goodbye. I don't have any other option'
"Inuyasha" I said looking at the floor, tears began to well up in my eyes.
"Kagome I, I didn't mean to make you cry" he stepped towards me and put his arm around me comfort me.
'Break it off, once and for all'
I slapped his hand away, I looked up to see nothing but hurt and pain in his eyes. That brought on a new wave of tears. I wiped them away. "Inuyasha" I said mustering up my strength so that my voice wouldn't crack. 'You've dumped tons of guys before' I reminded myself, 'act like you don't care, it'll be easier on him if he hates you', that stung, hates you, he'd hate me, 'but he'd be alive.' "Inuyasha I'm sorry, I can't be, don't want to be with you anymore" I was shocked by how cold my voice sounded.
Inuyasha's face darkened.
"I'm leaving" I told him, I stifled a sob, what did I just do?
"Answer this at least" I froze and turned towards him, "Did you ever care for me? At all?"
I looked down, why was he making it so hard, it was for his own good, I always cared for him I still do, I don't want him to have to go through this, 'make him hate you', " No" = I said coldly staring at the floor.
"Say it to my face" Inuyasha growled.
I looked up, there was no doubt that tears were now streaming down my face, but it was for his own good, if he knew what was going on he would have thanked me, "No" I stared into his eyes, hoping to god he couldn't see how mush this was hurting me, "I never cared about you" I turned and ran out of the house.
"KAGOME" I heard him yell after me, I turned and saw him chasing me, he caught me by the arm and spun me so that I was facing him.
"You're lying," he said with absolute anger in his voice, but I could see hope in his eyes, "you're lying and you know it"
'Make him hate you'
I slapped him across the face, I stared at my hand for a second, not believing what I had, done, then I looked up at him, he looked shell- shocked. "Let go of me"
"No" He looked deeply into my eyes, "Kagome I love you, and I'm not going to let you go that easily"
"Sit"
I looked at him, at least we were standing in the grass, " I love you too" I whispered so quietly that not even I could hear it. Then I turned and ran, with tears flooding down my cheeks the whole time.
I ran to a nearby park. It looked totally deserted. I stopped for a second and took a couple deep breaths. 'it will all look better in the morning.'
I looked around, I never realized how pretty this park was before, maybe a walk would calm me down.
My eyes were cloudy with tears, so I couldn't see the crystal clear pond I had passed, and I took no notice of the crazed squirrel wearing an old ladies hat, I bearly paid attention to where I was walking.
I stumbled along the path slowly and miserably, suddenly my foot caught a snag in the sidewalk, I tripped and I could feel myself going down, I didn't bother trying to stop myself it would take to mush effort.
In flash of silver and red I was scooped up, and saved from my fall into dirt. "Inuyasha?" I turned and looked at my savior.
"You are pretty but your eyesight isn't worth much is it now?" Sesshoumaru set me down on my feet.
"I didn't need your help" I said haughtily, I'm not a weak woman, and I'm sick of guys thinking they need to help me."
He smiled, " I was simply trying to keep you from plunging your face into the sidewalk, it was common courtesy"
"Oh" I said, going a little red.
"Where are you going?" He asked as if struck by inspiration.
"Nowhere" I answered.
"Then you can come with me, I wish to speak with you"
I gave him a funny look, "why should I?"
"Then don't I'll simply call on you some other time, I'm sure I can get your address from my brother"
Mention of Inuyasha reminded me of the situation I was in, I didn't wan to be alone right now, I might trip and fall on the squirrel, "Fine then"
He pointed across the street, near the parks exit, "How about we go sit at that café, I haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"No" I shook my head.
"Then let's go" I followed him to the café, and we sat down outside, the street was empty except for a car or pedestrian that would pass by from time to time.
"Have you been here before? The Quoche St. Jacques is actually not bad" He smiled, giving me a look over he shook his head. I had the slightest feeling that he might have been checking me out then decided not to since I was his brother's girlfriend, was I mean his brother's girlfriend.
"No, I haven't"
We ordered from an American waitress.
"Um Sesshoumaru" I asked tentatively.
"Yes" he asked putting down his fork (after dating Inuyasha for nearly a year, eating with a guy who has great manners was a little bit creepy)
"This is nice and all, but you said you wanted to talk with me about something?"
"Well it concerns Inuyasha" he took on a more serious tone (Ha! Like he has any other tone)
I looked down, mention of Inuyasha made me lose my appetite, "Inuyasha is no longer any of my concern"
"Oh then you two are over?" he asked, suddenly looking intrigued, " May I ask why?"
I stood up, "No you may not" I placed a twenty and a ten on the table, "That ought to cover my part of the bill and tip, goodbye Sesshoumaru" I said coldly. I turned to leave, but I heard him chuckle.
"I take it you dumped him, especially after he had planned to tell you how he felt" he laughed again, "I feel sorry for the poor guy, that must have stung, but on the other hand you don't seem to happy about it"
With out turning to him I replied, "mind your own damn business Sesshoumaru" and I walked (stomped) home.
A/N Oh aren't I sweet that was not a cliffhanger.
Right here is where I'd put review replies If I could remember em but oh well.
Another corny ending piece for ya;
Will Kagome and Inuyasha get back together? Did Kagome actually burn down their cafeteria (spoiler)? Will Kagome break the curse? Is something bad going to happen? Did Sesshoumaru choke on his spoon? What did Kagome order?
The answers (except the last one, I have no idea what she ordered, she whispered to the waiter) are in the next exciting episode of Smile And Maybe They Won't Notice.
Thanx
