'Amour en la France'

Chap. III: What? Sesshoumaru and Elly together?

It has been a year since Kikyou has been in Beabutx University in France to reach her dream of becoming the best pianist in the world. During this time, she has really grown and lived through so much; her skills with the piano, song and composition have really improved and she has made really good friends, but among all of them, her best friends were Sesshoumaru, Zara, Michael and Tali. However, she also had enemies and, of course, they were Elly and her group of materialistic and superficial friends.

Throughout this year, she had bittersweet moments and sweet moments, usually full of happiness and triumphs and even though she still kept in touch with her family, like for example that moment when she was in MSN talking with her younger sister Kagome, it was rather difficult for her to find time to even login in to the messenger and talk, but on those rare occasions she managed to get online, they chatted for what seemed like hours. (A/N: well since it's an msn conversation understand why we write it like this)

Higurashi Maiden: So how's everything going sis?

Maiden in France: Well everything is just fine; I have really improved my skills with the piano.

Higurashi Maiden: That's great sis!!! Everything is fine here too, but everyone misses you very much.

Maiden in France: I miss everyone too, but my memories of you are my inspiration and strength to keep going.

Higurashi Maiden: Is that guy you talked to me about.the artist student.umm Sesshoumaru.your best friend or is he your boyfriend already?

Maiden in France: No, he's just my friend, but what can you tell me about Inuyasha?

Higurashi Maiden: He's just great and cute, but I think he stills likes you.

Maiden in France: I don't think so he must really love you. Really, you won't have the bad luck I had with Naraku.

Higurashi Maiden: That wasn't your fault, no one would have thought he was such an asshole that he would cheat on you and that he would even dare to.

Maiden in France: Don't remind me of that!!!

Higurashi Maiden: Upps.I'm sorry, by the way do you think you could come home on February 10?

Maiden in France: In two weeks, why?

Higurashi Maiden: It's just that our mother will get married again and she wants you back for her wedding that is on February 14, what do you say?

Maiden in France: So mom is getting married again.ok, I will ask for an authorization from the principal and I'll go to the wedding. Well, I have to go. Sesshoumaru must be waiting for me

Higurashi Maiden: Umm.you seem too close to be just friends

Maiden in France: Stop it! I really have to go. Bye, see you later or when I return home

Higurashi Maiden: Okay goodbye see you then. (A/N: well that's it)

Kikyou turned off the computer and after quickly fixing her hair; she left her room and walked to the tables outside the cafeteria, till she finally spotted Sesshoumaru. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and they went to his room to leave his backpack. He had an amazing two-floor room; his bedroom was in the upper floor and, in the lower floor, was his art study, in which he had several paintings, sculptures and his art tools. She really liked his room because she thought it really portrayed his artistic side.

They left his room and went to the parking lot. That day they would be going to an art museum, because he had said he needed to check his skills so he could be prepared for anything. In truth, Sesshoumaru felt very insecure about his abilities, even though Kikyou and his professors thought he was talented enough to be a great artist and that his skills could take him very far in the art world.

They were now watching the paintings and sculptures; some of them were gothic, others were really modernist and of course, there were classic ones, but there was one thing that all those paintings had in common: naked women. What was the fun in painting naked women, after all? Kikyou wondered as she read the pamphlet she had gotten in the museum entrance and she found the answer to her question.

".The current art flow is painting naked women. That kind of art was lost for almost 25 years and is now returning with certain popularity among people, art critics and collectors. This flow promises to last for a very long time especially in classic paintings and sculptures, so it's a good time for artists to become familiarized with this art flow, just like Ansel Alsov from Italy, who was the one that started this art flow with a painting of his wife. According to Ansel, the best trick is to choose gorgeous women as muses because those are the kind of paintings and sculptures that the art collectors and art critics seem to prefer."







"So that's the current art flow. Interesting." She heard him say. That was weird. She had heard his voice really close to her. She turned to look beside her and immediately blushed; her face was mere millimeters away from his. She slowly backed away. "Umm.do you mind if I keep this pamphlet?"

"No, not at all. Besides, I think you need it more than I do. Go on ahead and take it." He took it from her hands and started to browse through the pages. "Who's Ansel Alsov?"

"Well, he's a real influent artist, he's only 35 and he's recognized all around the world" He answered with a sigh and stopped walking when he noticed her pausing. He was still reading the information on the pamphlet and sighed again "I just hope I can be as recognized as him someday"

"Don't worry, you have talent and trust me, you will be recognized maybe more than him, just believe in your skills." She said as she gave him a small pat in his shoulder. "Umm." she was now looking at a very weird sculpture "What do you think that is?"

"What?" He asked as he closed the pamphlet and looked at the strange formed and bright colored sculpture Kikyou was staring at with a confused expression. "Well, honestly, it's a piece of trash." Kikyou giggled at his comment " But in the art world, that's abstract art"

"Wow, that must really be abstract art" She said, not finding any form to the piece of artwork in any way she looked at it, then she eyed him "You won't make that kind of.oh no, it can't be!"

"Bonjour, Sesshoumaru" His expression changed when he heard Elly's faked voice and immediately faked a smile and looked at her "What a surprise to find you here." Of course, she had plotted everything (bad girl).

"Really, isn't it?" His voice sounded faked and felt really at unease, because he could feel the obvious tension between the two girls who, right now, were giving each other hate glares. He really was in a bad position, standing in the middle of two girls that hated each other more that anything. "Do you need something?"

"I always need something from you, darling" she said seductively and took his hand, causing Kikyou to grow even angrier. "If you excuse us, Kikyou" Elly said to Kikyou on a false superior tone.

Elly took Sesshoumaru away leaving Kikyou alone, watching how her enemy giggled of everything she or he said. That was really disturbing but, really, what kind of tricks was she trying to pull on him? Her faked giggles made Kikyou really angry, she only wanted to take Elly's neck in her hands and well, you know, kill her.

Kikyou had now thought of 1000 ways to kill Elly in three easy steps and, around an hour later, Sesshoumaru returned. Curiosity got the best of her and when she asked him what he and Elly had talked about, he told her it hadn't been anything important. Obviously he didn't want to tell her so she left the questioning right there and they finished their visit to the museum.

After their visit to the museum and Sesshoumaru's little talk with Elly, he had been acting really weird towards her, he even got to the point of canceling some plans they had made, such as going to their favorite club, saying he was busy, and he now tended to spend lots of time locked in his room and she didn't know why. Well, she was also busy, but not so much as to not finding time for her friends.

The principal gave her permission to return to Japan for her mother's wedding, but she would need to catch up with her classes when she returned. Zara and Michael (her professors) had helped her to write a song that she would perform in the wedding and, right now, she was sitting in one of the cafeteria tables trying to work a bit more on the song when she accidentally heard a conversation between Maya and Megan, Elly's best friends.

".Well it seems like Elly did it again, didn't she?" Maya said almost laughing

"Yeah who would have thought Elly and Sesshoumaru would get back together" Megan said giggling "They practically spend hours inside his room doing who knows what?"

"Yeah, but whatever it is that they do, it must be something really good, because every time she returns she is really happy." Maya said now practically laughing, "I bet they are in his room right now, that's why he doesn't have time to spend with Kikyou."

"Yeah, Elly was right Kikyou was no match for her." Megan said and the two girls started to laugh, "Honestly, did Kikyou think Sesshoumaru liked her more than Elly? Obviously no, I think that their friendship is now over thanks to Elly's skills in bed. That's how she was able to torn them apart, because Kikyou is still a virgin and I don't think Sesshoumaru would want an inexperienced woman for sex."

Kikyou stood up and left the cafeteria. Was it true what Maya and Megan said about Elly and Sesshoumaru? Were they really back together? But that couldn't be, what about those times he told her he hated Elly for her attitude? Was that just a lie?

There was only one way to find out the truth.

She put away her stuff and went to his room, really hoping everything was just a lie and that when she got to his room, he would tell her it was a lie and that he never would think of getting back with Elly and that it was a simple prank they played on her like they always did. Her heart was really hoping and clinging to that thought, it simply couldn't be true. Sesshoumaru and Elly? That really was a disgusting thought.

When she got to his room, she knocked at the door but no one answered. Right when she was about to leave, she heard some noises coming from the room and slowly placed her hand on the doorknob and started to open the door, which, strangely, was unlocked.

What she saw inside hurt her more than any word or wound she could have received in that moment.

There, in the center of the room was Elly, naked, and Sesshoumaru kneeled besides her, holding her chin close to kiss her. She couldn't believe it! He had been lying to her since the very beginning, was he only toying with her? They finally spotted her and Elly only smiled while Sesshoumaru let go of her chin and looked at Kikyou, ready to explain what was happening, but she didn't need any explanations. She could perfectly understand what was happening.

She only closed the door and ran away from there as fast as her legs could take her; tears were flowing freely from her eyes. Was she really fool enough to believe him? How could she make the same mistake a second time? She had now suffered another wound in her heart, but this time her heart shattered into pieces. How could she have been fooled so easily again? How could she be so naïve? She felt as if she would never be able to place together the pieces of her already shattered heart, not when you receive the same pain again, only this time it was much more painful. This time, not only her heart had shattered, but also her soul and hopes for love.

She now felt empty and cold.
