A Day You'll Never Forget
A loud, annoying, high pitched, noise rang in Kagome's ear. After about ten loud beeps, it switched to people talking. Agh…this was her morning alarm clock and it was turning on the radio. Oh god, she hated this alarm clock. But she wouldn't need it soon. She reached over to turn off the chatter of the alarm clock and got out of bed. She glanced at her clock, 10:30 AM.
She had 5 ½ hours to do as she pleased before she went to Sesshomaru's apartment. Kagome always told her fiancé to clean the mess up before he had to have another guest in. Of course, this hadn't worked yet. And it never would, he was too convinced that he would be out of the apartment and into a house with Kagome in no time. Kagome walked into her bathroom and slipped off her slippers, then brushed her teeth and washed her face. Beginning her morning routine.
She glanced into the mirror; her face was still looking tired. Bags showed under her eyes, she was stressed out and tired, she'd admit it to anyone. Spending the day at her office until 3:30 AM didn't help much, but she needed more money. She needed that wedding, before anything could make her Sesshomaru change his mind.
Just as she was done in the bathroom, she walked into her kitchen and turned on the 12' by 12' TV. Nothing on but children's TV shows, but she put up with it. Kagome sat at her kitchen table sorting through papers; her main case at the moment was the Dave Harley case. He was an American, yes. And he had been accused of killing his girlfriend after he cheated on her. This sent shivers down Kagome's spine. Would her sweet innocent Sesshy ever do this to her?
She then picked up her purse and headed out the door, taking a quick stroll to a McDonald's breakfast (A/n: Yea, I know they stop serving breakfast at ten AM, but who cares at the moment? Lol) and to do a little shopping before her meet with Sesshomaru.
She walked down the street, a few blocks, not too many. And entered the McDonald's, ordering one hash brown and a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. Kagome sat down at a two seated table and ate her breakfast as if it were the last one she'd be eating on earth.
"Hello there!" The greeter walked up to her, with a bright smile on his face. He was old, yes, but Kagome pitied him because he was such a kind man, working at a place like this. She brushed her hands and stuck her hand out to shake his, "Hello there, kind sir." She put on her best smile, and went back to eating.
"I see you've got one of our finest breakfasts!"
"Yes, indeed. You don't see wrong. I come here once or twice a week for this, I know…I shouldn't, but I do."
"It's fine if you do, dear Kagome."
"How did you know my name?"
"You have a nametag, dear." He laughed, "Lawyer?"
"Yes! Need anything?"
"I'd actually…oh, never mind."
"Come on, you can tell me."
"It's nothing, already solved it. Good day now, Kagome."
Sesshomaru had a great time with Sango. And he invited her to his apartment! Though the one thing he regretted…was the kiss. It wasn't entirely his fault. Really! All that happened was he let her in his apartment for a drink after going to Brewster Bagels, and before she left they kissed. Nothing big. For Sango, at least it was nothing big. As for Sesshomaru, he was deciding whether or not he hated himself for cheating on Kagome. But then the thought that it was only one kiss, and he stopped it before it got any worse, ran through his head. So of course, he then decided nothing would happen…again. So he wouldn't tell Kagome.
He was in his apartment bedroom, lying in his bed. He figured he'd lie there all day until 3:30 PM so he could be ready for Kagome, his love.
But that wasn't right, he had to do something with his life other than kiss other girls, mope around waiting for Kagome, and lie around. He would put a stop to this. So he got up and sat down, making a large step to his door! He then decided he'd go see Sango. His friend, and nothing more.
He walked up to her door, and put his hand to it ready to knock, but he resisted, afraid. A few seconds later the door opened, "I uh…I was about to knock."
"Hah, well, I was just about to come see you!"
Sesshomaru blinked, so she wasn't embarrassed about the kiss? She liked him, really?
"I was gonna tell you I was kind of embarrassed about the kiss."
'Ah, well…maybe I was wrong about that one.'
"That's alright, I was thinking about it all night."
"And, I was wondering…if we…you and I…well…"
"…Yeah?"
"Oh forget it."
That gave Sesshomaru a confused look, it sounded like she was going to ask him outBut
"Uh…" Sesshomaru twitched.
"Tomorrow? 7?"
"…Sure?" Now he was the one that couldn't say no. He was cheating. And poor Kagome…
Kagome entered the mall and walked into her favorite store, 'Blank'. It suited her well, they had everything she liked, and it was like her 3rd home. Her first being her apartment, her second Sesshomaru's apartment, and third…here!
"Hello, Kagome!" A voice said while Kagome was peering through a clearance rack of shirts.
She span around, 'not another person…' she thought, and looked at who it was. Ah, no…Kikyo.
"Hello…Kikyo." She turned back around.
"Aw, I see you're all grown up now, Kagome! And I haven't even seen you since High School. We go way back, don't we?"
"Not in a good way, no." Kagome pushed hangers aside and continued looking, faster; ready to get out of the store.
"You're no fun!" Kikyo said, "Where's your little friend, Tully?"
"We haven't talked in a while. Not since Sesshomaru…"
"Sesshomaru? You and that…can't even think of it…are still together?"
Kagome rolled her eyes and looked at her ring then flung her hand into Kikyo's face, "Notice. I am engaged. Who else?"
Kikyo's face darkened, "I would have thought you would have been with Inu-."
She was interrupted by a store clerk walking up, "How may I help you?"
"I'm fine thanks, just gonna buy this outfit and leave." Kagome responded, glared at Kikyo, and brought the outfit to the counter.
Kikyo hissed and turned around, marching off to a certain somebody waiting outside for her…Naraku.
Kagome then walked out of the store, carrying her bag and set on to the next store, 'Timeless' her favorite shoe store. She needed the perfect pair of shoes for tonight.
As soon as she walked in shoes surrounded her, it was the largest shoe store in the mall…in the city…hell, probably in all of Japan! (I just made this store and large stuff up, if you haven't noticed. Lol)
The first thing that caught her eye was a simple pair of glossy silver shoes. They had diamonds running down a strap and had a high, but not too high, heel. She immediately walked over to this shoe and picked up a box in her size. She slipped it on, and she felt like she was in the second heaven.
She had to have those shoes.
Then she thought, 'Heh! It's heaven! Now to pick it up and pay, and then go home and it's time!' So she picked up the box, and what then caught her eye…was the price. The shoes were 150$. 150$ per shoe. That was 300$ for both shoes. Uck…how she hated prices these days. She sighed, she couldn't have the shoes…one, she was saving up for a wedding she had to plan, but she didn't need to pay for shoes that cost that much. She sat it down and a man grabbed her shoulder.
"I noticed you loved those shoes quite a lot." He said.
"Uh…yea…"
"Great!" Sango said, and hugged him.
Where were they going to go? Why was Sesshomaru cheating on her like this? If Kagome ever found out about it, if Kagome ever saw them…
Sesshomaru hugged back, "Why don't we go somewhere low. Where no one will see us! That will be a new kind of…er…date."
Sango laughed hysterically, "No, silly! Then it wouldn't be a date! We're going to the biggest restaurant in Tokyo!"
Sesshomaru's face went pale, "As in…'Deadline 900'?"
"Yep! That's the one!"
"Oh…"
Sango pressed her lips against his once more, and pulled him closer to her. She then wrapped her arms around his, breaking the kiss, she pushed her head into his soft jacket.
"There's no one like you, Sesshy."
"Eh…Thanks."
"Then I can get you a very nice deal on one certain pair." The man continued.
"I don't want to steal something!"
"I said a nice deal, not free." He hesitated, "Do you want the shoes or not?"
"I'd enjoy them…quite a lot."
"Then say yes, damnit!"
"YES." Kagome was annoyed by his voice, and his attitude.
"Then how much money you got?"
"Uh…" She pulled up her purse and peered inside of it, just then, the man took it and ran.
"HEY!" She screamed, "That's my purse!" She ran after the man, "GIVE IT BACK!"
He continued running, ignoring her. As many people watched in fear, not doing anything.
Just then, a man turned around, he was large and appeared handsome. He looked at the man running and then the beautiful girl following him. He hissed in his head once he registered what was going on into his brain. He leaped towards the man and tackled him, handing the purse to Kagome.
"Here you go, ma'm." Inuyasha said, not looking at her face.
"Thanks…" She replied, "I could have never caught him."
The man's face then lifted up, looking into her eyes that sparkled. It was…Kagome…and…she…was…beautiful.
Obviously this man had recognized her, but was too surprised to speak. It was Inuyasha. Kagome didn't realize this, but she squinted because his face looked familiar, also.
"D-d-do I know you?" She said pushing a long strand of hair away from her eyes with her hand, and Inuyasha looked at the hand…it had a ring on it. Inuyasha's heart suddenly felt like it was being torn out of him and stomped on. But he hadn't even talked to her in years!
"No…" He said quickly, hurt from the ring.
"Then what's your name?"
"Inu…Inu…Inuyasha."
Kagome's head felt like it was being jolted back 20,000 miles and rammed into a wall, why did this seem so familiar but she couldn't remember?
"I'm Kagome."
Inuyasha sighed, 'Yea, I know…' he thought.
"N-n-ice to meet you." He said, "So uh…" He continued to look at the ring obsessively. He had to ask her out.
No matter who she was getting married to, anytime soon.
He didn't care.
Nope.
He had to have this girl. That he barely even remembered.
"Will you go out with me? Tomorrow…say…around…seven?"
Kagome's face went blank. She figured she had to meet this boy, Inuyasha, and perhaps remember him while she was at it, "Hai." She said. "Where to?"
"'Deadline 900'." He said.
"That place is great! You must have a great job!"
"Well…err…yea, okay." He said. He wasn't sure if his job was great or not. He was a Police Officer. His speed and strength basically got him the job.
Kagome laughed, "Well, I better be off. Bye, Inuyasha!" She span around and skipped off.
"Farewell, my dear Kaggy…"
It was time to get ready to leave for Kagome, and Sesshomaru was with Sango! He had to leave.
Now.
He stood up, "I have to go. Meeting." He said the quickest thing and jolted out of the room.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then!" She giggled, "You're so great!"
Sesshomaru hurried into his apartment and brushed through his hair, washed his face, and sprayed new body spray all over him. It was that spray everyone was talking about, and that Kagome liked so much, that Axe stuff. It was quick, easy, and his fiancé liked it, so…he wore it!
He then ran out the door and hurried into his car, as he sped literally, sped, all the way to Kagome's apartment building.
He buzzed the buzzer coolly, he wasn't late. In fact, if he were two seconds later, he'd be late.
Kagome answered the intercom, "Who is it?" She said sweetly.
"Sesshomaru. Your fiancé." He said, with great care and concern.
"Hehe, come up, Sesshy." The door opened and Sesshomaru walked up, knocked on Kagome's door, and it opened. There Kagome stood, in the most beautiful outfit she could possibly make.
She had on a black halter dress, and her shoes…they were normal silver high heels. Kagome couldn't get the pair she wanted…sadly.
"You…you look amazing." Sesshomaru said, as his mouth was about to drop.
Kagome blushed, "Thank you, sweetie."
Suddenly, Kagome remembered a day in the woods…where Sesshomaru called her sweetie. Ah, she remembered well. It was something like this…
"Got it!" She dropped the logs directly in front of him and smiled sweetly. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "Thanks sweetie."
She giggled, and brought herself back to life. It was the day of the big 'movie' date. Sesshomaru took her arm and escorted her outside where a lemo was waiting. It was just a date to the movies, as Kagome thought, so wasn't it a little too much?
"This is great!" Kagome said. Sesshomaru held her arm as she stepped inside the car.
"I'm glad you think so." He slid himself in as well.
"But isn't it a little too much for a movie?"
Sesshomaru shook his head, "We aren't going to the movies."
"What?"
"We're going to sit under the trees tonight and watch the sun go down. Where a picnic is waiting for us."
She sighed, "But I'm not in the right clothes!"
Sesshomaru pulled out a box, "You'll be fine. I brought you extra clothes. And I also saw this pair of shoes I thought you'd love…though don't wear them tonight, you should wear your sandals tonight."
"What are you talking about?" She lifted the box open, there was a t-shirt, some shorts, brown sandals, and then something wrapped up…
Kagome lifted up the wrapper and squealed in excitement. "I love them! They're great! Sesshomaru! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" She hugged him as tight as she possibly could.
"I love you too." He said and held her tight, as the car stopped. Sesshomaru walked out, "Get changed, I'll be waiting under the tree. I'll set up the picnic."
Kagome nodded and Sesshomaru shut the door and walked to the tree.
A few minutes later, Kagome came out and sat next to him, "This is so romantic…"
"And you're a sucker for romantic things, right?" Sesshomaru pulled her close to him.
Kagome smiled, "Hai…you know me too well."
"Yea…" He sipped at his drink. "The perfect night for it, too."
The wind brushed against the couple's hair and it twirled around in the wind.
Sesshomaru took a sip of his Coke and went back to his position, then, a star flew by.
'Make a wish…' both of them thought, and each one did. Oddly, both the same wish. Of course, they didn't speak aloud, that would ruin the whole thing!"
But what did they wish for?
For everything…and everything…to be all right.
Sesshomaru kissed her, and picked up his sandwich.
