Time Flies By
Pulled into the woods by Sesshomaru, and confused as to why she didn't notice him before, Kagome's headache began. She was now Sesshomaru's, and now she thought Inuyasha would hate her. She almost hated herself, telling people yes because of their feelings.
But what about Sesshomaru? It was the main problem. He suddenly wanted Kagome as a mate. Revenge.
"Sesshomaru, slow down!" Kagome whined as she was dodging trees as Sesshomaru pulled her deeper in the woods.
"We're almost there." He panted, and stopped.
"W-what's this?" Kagome asked, her eyes set on a cave and a campsite directly in front of it.
"My home…our home."
"But we aren't even older yet!" Kagome laughed, "I'm six! You're seven! We aren't old enough to be on our own."
"Kagome…" He sneered, "We can do anything we want. Now help me make a fire for lunch."
Whatever her mate wanted, she would do. She ran off to a side of a cave and got more wood. Sesshomaru stood in amazement, 'revenge is sweet.' He thought.
"Got it!" She dropped the logs directly in front of him and smiled sweetly. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "Thanks sweetie."
"Err…what?" Kagome's face turned a cherry red, and then her eyes focused on her feet.
"You're mine now, I need to call you something!" He bent over to pick up the wood, "Can you make a fire while I go catch some fish at the creek?"
"Sure." She said, taking the logs and setting them down in front of the cave where the last fire was made, "Shouldn't we make it inside of the cave?"
"Whatever." He said in a low, dark, voice and disappeared off to catch fish.
Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha were headed to Kaede's hut. They needed to talk to her, and it would take 5 minutes walking. There was no conversation; all the kids did was kick the filthy dirt beneath their bare feet.
Passing by trees…
More trees…
Keh, it was too much. They always reminded the friends of Kagome, the creek…the games.
Not fare.
'I miss her…' Inuyasha thought.
"Where do you think she went?" Sango asked.
No answer.
"Please answer me!" Sango said, a little louder.
"My dream." Inuyasha responded, irritated.
"You don't want to tell anyone, Inuyasha." Miroku said, shaking his head.
"Yes I do. I want to tell Sango. She's my friend, too." His voice lowered, "My dream."
"What was in your dream, Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Sesshomaru came and took Kagome away, then they fell in love and she never talked to us again." His voice was like a voice from a boy going through puberty, of course, Inuyasha wasn't. Just a comparison.
"But that couldn't possibly be what she did. How could dreams come true that quick?" Sango said, confused.
"Not really a dream…" Miroku said.
"Nightmare." She corrected herself.
"Whatever it was, it's the main suggestion right now. No matter how much I wish that twit wouldn't have taken Kaggy away from us." Now his voice was getting quieter and quieter by the word, and his eyes watered. Was little Inuyasha going to cry?
"Inuyasha, Kaede will be able to help us." Miroku assured him.
They stopped, they were at the hut. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
It took a few moments, but sure enough, Kaede opened the door with Myoga sitting on her shoulder.
"Hello there, Inuyasha!" Myoga said and leaped onto his head.
Inuyasha let him stay there, for he only came to talk to Kaede.
"What's wrong?" Kaede asked.
"Kagome ran away. Or…someone took her." Sango said.
Inuyasha mumbled angrily, "My half brother."
"Sesshomaru?" Myoga said, poking at Inuyasha's head waiting for a simple response.
"WHO ELSE YOU FLEE? GET OFF MY HEAD!" He shook his head as Myoga fell to the wooden boards of the porch.
Myoga walked towards Miroku's foot, "He's in a bad mood, isn't he?"
"Whatever." Miroku responded and looked back up at Kaede, "We want our Kaggy back."
"How long has she been gone?" Kaede asked.
"About…30 minutes or an hour." Sango said.
Kaede began to laugh, "Are you sure she didn't just wander off? You young kids sure have a worried little mind in there. She'll turn up."
"But Inuyasha had a dream." Miroku said.
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he slapped Miroku on his head, "You promised!"
"You told Sango!"
"That doesn't give you permission to tattle, brat!"
"You had a dream?" Myoga said, standing in the middle of the group.
"What of, Inuyasha?" Kaede tilted her head.
"I…uh…" Inuyasha twitched.
Sesshomaru walked to a small pond area and stuck his hand in the water, grabbing a small fish. He licked it, and put it back in the pond, dissatisfied. He continued this process until he finally caught a large enough one and brought it back.
"I got a fish." He threw it down onto a log.
Kagome looked at it as it flopped around. "Is that enough for two?"
"Oh…you…yea, I'll go get another one." He didn't know how to tend to a lady; he thought he'd never have to do this.
"Oh…ok." Kagome was a little hurt, shouldn't her mate remember her?
Sesshomaru went back and got a medium sized fish and put it down next to the larger one.
"There." He said, and scratched his forehead. 'Now what do I do?'
"Uh…" Kagome sat down next to the fire as it cracked in the air.
"Oh, right. The fire." He stuck a stick through the fish and hovered it slightly inside the fire. Kagome did the same.
"So how've you been?" Kagome asked, "I mean…it must be hard here without a mommy and daddy to take care of you."
Sesshomaru twitched, parents. 'Keh…who needs them?' "Well, I guess I don't need them if I have you." He said the sweetest thing that popped in his head.
Inuyasha had just finished explaining to Kaede about his dream.
"Inuyasha, this isn't a coincidence." She held her head, "Oh my…oh my, my, my!"
The kids tilted their heads, "What…?"
Even Myoga was confused.
"This has happened before, Inuyasha. In the village. To a sweet little boy, can't recall his name. But he had a dream, the very next night it came true." Kaede said.
"Oh…" Inuyasha responded, "Thanks Kaede. We better go." He turned around and began walking.
"Help him, dears, please help poor Inuyasha." Kaede said before motioning the kids to go.
Myoga jumped back onto Kaede's shoulder, "Do you suppose they'll be fine?"
"Not at all, Myoga…not at all…"
15 and a half years later…
Kagome had fallen in love.
With Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha?
Oh…Him. Poor guy.
"Long day." Kagome said, unlocking a door to an apartment. She put her stuff down on a dark blue couch, and entered her kitchen. She opened her pantry and pulled out a bag of instant ramen. She quickly fixed it and sat down in her chair to open that morning's newspaper. She read the headline.
'Local Boy Raises Money for School'
"Nothing new…" she said to herself. Then she heard a knock on the door. 'That would be heaven…' she thought to herself and giggled. She walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey!" She said hugging the man at the door, "I missed you, Sesshy."
He hugged her back and held her close; "I was hoping we could watch a movie or something soon."
"Hmm…" Kagome muttered, "I think I might have to go back to the office soon." He nuzzled into him.
"You need to take a break away. You're going to get stressed." He walked into her apartment and spread himself across the couch.
"Sesshy…you know I need to work if we're going to try and raise money for a wedding!" She gazed at the enormous rock on her finger as it sparkled against rays off the sun.
"But I took today off." Sesshomaru said, he was a detective.
"I have the rest of today off. And I guess I'll take tomorrow off, too. For you." Kagome walked into her kitchen and sat at her table, taking a small bite of her ramen.
"Then it's settled, come around my place tomorrow…say…four?"
"Okay." She stood up and kissed him, then he stood up and headed towards the door.
"See you later." He closed the door behind him and his footsteps could be heard behind him.
Sesshomaru entered his clotted apartment, it was large, messy, and as if nothing could be found. He entered his kitchen and fixed himself some coffee and sat down on his couch. He turned on his TV.
"Oh, John. How could you treat me this way?"
"I'm sorry Cecilia. I love her."
"You should love me."
He cut the TV off, "Damn soap operas."
He stood up and walked outside of his apartment and ran down the stairs. He began to walk out of the lobby, ready to go to a bagel shop. Then he ran into a girl, a beautiful girl, at that. She dropped all of her things, files, envelopes, and ext.
Sesshomaru span around and reached down to help her, "Err…sorry. I was just in a hurry to go to the Brewster Bagels." He began to stand up after helping her, she did, too, and her coffee spilled on his shirt.
"I'm sorry, sir! I'm so clumsy…ech!" She put her things in one arm and tried holding her coffee in the same; she reached in her jeans pocket for a napkin. Sesshomaru pushed her arm down.
"Don't strain yourself, woman!" He began to walk outside.
"You aren't going like that, are you?" She giggled, "Men these days."
He paused, that giggle…that laugh…sounded so…familiar.
Then he turned around, "Actually…no."
"Come up to my apartment, I'll help you get cleaned up." She got on the elevator.
"Got a name?" She said, once they entered the apartment.
"Sesshomaru."
"Sango."
Neither one of them remembered each other.
He looked around the apartment, it was clean and tidy. The thing that stood out to him the most was a picture of three people. A boy, Sango, and another boy. He picked it up as Sango came back with a rag to wipe his shirt with.
"Who's this?"
She looked up from his shirt and smiled, "That's Inuyasha to the left, me, and to the right Miroku."
"Boyfriend?"
"No! Of course not!"
Sesshomaru still didn't remember his half brother.
"Oh, so you're single."
"Yea, work's been hard. Detective, eck."
Sesshomaru was surprised, "Me too!" He said.
"Cool!" She continued wiping his shirt, "Now, could you take off your shirt? I'll wash it for you and give you one of my large ones."
Sesshomaru gulped and looked at her.
"Ok…" He unbuttoned the shirt and handed it to her. Revealing his quite impressive stomach.
"I'll go get you a shirt after I put this in the wash." She said, trying to hide the fact that she was staring.
Sesshomaru was embarrassed to be standing there with his shirt off, with a person he had met literally a few minutes ago. He felt like some type of stripper.
"Eh…could you hurry?"
Sango laughed and nodded, and then around two minutes later she came back with a large pink shirt.
"Here you go!" She said, "Sorry it's not really your…color, but it's the best I could find. Still want to go to that Brewster Bagel?"
He nodded. "After the shirt is dry."
"So what do you want to do to entertain yourself while you wait?" She sat down on her couch and organized the papers lying across it, placing them on the coffee table in front of her.
"Got any movies?" He sat next to her.
"Sure! You can watch my favorite one with me."
"What's that?"
"The Soap Opera of Nichole Ashley."
His face seemed like it was going to drop.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" She said, smiling widely.
"You have a nice sense of humor, Sango…"
She blushed, "Thank you, Sesshy…may I call you that?"
"My gir…I mean, my friend calls me that. Sure." He was confusing himself, 'did I just say that? Kagome…'
"Okay! So what movie do you want to watch?"
"Uh, 'Sweet Home Alabama'?" He said, glancing at a movie that looked interesting.
She giggled, "Great movie." She then placed the movie in the VCR and sat close to Sesshomaru, which made him twitch, but then relax.
"I wonder what Sesshomaru's doing…" Kagome said to herself, "Ugh, you've got to stop thinking about him."
She threw herself onto her bed in her room and turned on the news, "Too many car crashes…" she said after hearing the reports. Then she thought of how Sesshomaru would investigate them. "STOP THINKING OF HIM! God, Kagome…You're obsessed." She continued to talk to herself. The she sat up, "You're calling him."
She reached for her phone next to her and pressed the square white buttons. It rang…
And rang…
Finally, Sesshomaru picked up.
"Hello?"
"Sesshy!"
"Hey! What's up?"
"Nothing. How are you Sesshomaru?"
"I'm fine. Just waiting until tomorrow."
Sango paused the movie, "Who's that?" She said.
Kagome didn't hear.
Sesshomaru ignored her. "Yea…"
"Hehe, well…I'll see you tomorrow! I love you!"
"Love you, too."
"Who was that?" Sango asked.
"My…err…mom!" He didn't know if he was supposed to lie or not.
"Oh. You and her must really get along."
"Yea! Back to the movie?"
She nodded and turned her head back to the movie.
Sesshomaru sighed and watched.
45 minutes later, a bell rang. "That's your shirt." Sango said and getting up from the couch.
A few minutes later she came back with his shirt. He put it on himself, "It's warm."
She nodded. "So…you wanna go to that bagel shop?"
"He's so great…" Kagome was talking to herself again. She should really get a friend. A friend who she can talk to as much as she did herself. "Back to work." She stood up and headed out the door, "Lawyer work is difficult."
