Chapter 4

Kagura shoved her bags into the over-head luggage compartment. She heaved a heavy sigh, sat down on her seat by the window and looked out. It was a busy station, layers of steamed separated the crowd, only their feet visible.
She closed her eyes, half expecting to see him there, on the platform, when she opens them again.
But he wasn't there.
There was no reason for him to come.
After all, he was just being a good piano teacher.

I wonder if she ever noticed my absence.
Would she have left if I had shown up?
One last time, Sesshoumaru's fingers brushed across the black and white keys of the grand piano.
Maybe someday, I'll have the heart to play it again.

"I'm so sad that I have to leave him behind."
Kagura snapped out of her reverie. "Huh?"
"My boyfriend. I already miss him. I wonder how he's doing right now." The girl sitting beside Kagura rambled on. Suddenly, a determined and fierce look filled her eyes. "He better not be cheating on me!"
"Right," Kagura said, absent minded.
"Do you have someone special you left behind?" The girl questioned.
Kagura considered whether she should lie about it. But there was no use. After-all, they were going to be room-mates for the rest of the year. "Yes, you can say that."
"So, tell me, what's he like?" The girl asked curiously.
"It doesn't really matter anymore. After all, it was just a childish infatuation."
A concerned look filled the girl's eyes. "How can you say that?"
"Well," Kagura sighed. "I'm here, aren't I?"
