"M-Marriage. You must be joking?" Kagome kept her composure as Satoru held her hand firmly.
"I'm not. Mayu needs a woman such as you to take care of her and be there for her. You can be her mother."
"I can't be her mother. I'm 16 and I can't marry you either. I know your crazy, I hardly know you and you want to marry me." Kagome let out a slight laugh but the seriousness on his face just made the situation that she was in really uncomfortable.
"I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't want to marry you. I know you more than you know yourself. I can take care of you, provide you with everything and anything you may need just be there for Mayu and me." He brushed his hand on her cheek and the more he moved in for a kiss the more she shook in worry.
"I can't!" She hit his hand away and pushed passed him. She quickly grabbed her bag from the bed, she didn't want to be there anymore and she swung the door open and exited the room.
Rushing down stairs she heard the faint sound of the piano playing. The thought of Satoru's marriage proposal rung in her head and the music that flowed throughout the house just made things harder to think.
Heading toward the front door the music suddenly stopped. She shook her head trying to brush away the thought of marrying Satoru. She didn't know what to do because she had no one. The people that believed in her and never gave up on her was gone. Bankotsu would never come back and Ayame wasn't either. She was in the care of people that she thought blamed her for their son's murder. She didn't blame them though, the way she treated the people that brang her into their home, with disrespect and anger. It was her fault and nothing anyone said would push away the thought. She opened the front door but abruptly stopped as a voice broke through her thoughts.
"Momma don't leave! I'm almost done with my piano lessons and than we can play." Mayu's grin made Kagome's eyes widen. It was like seeing herself when she was little. When her mother and father would come home from a long day of work and she was right there waiting at the front door. She made sure her parents would always be welcomed home with a smile.
"Mayu I-"
"Momma are you leaving already?" The more Kagome looked at the girl the more she wanted to close the door shut and stay with her. She looked away and went out the door and closed it. Leaving Mayu's smile to fade as the door slammed shut.
The walk home was long but she rather walk than spend her time 5 minutes in the car with Satoru. She walked down the street as people pushed passed her. The busy streets of Tokyo can be cruel at times but she got through it. As men and woman hit her shoulders to squeeze through the crowd of people a man who rushed through the crowd and as he ran toward Kagome she stumbled backwards and was about the fall back until she hit her back on someone and caught her footing.
"I'm so sorry." She turned around and sighed with a smile. "Sesshomaru."
"Stupid bastard. I swear if I caught him I would have made him apologize to you." Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist and pushed through the crowd of people not caring what they thought of him.
"Where you going? Kira's house is that way." She blurted out.
"Kira? That's where you were going?" She winced as his grip around her wrist tightened.
"It's for the project. That's all." She couldn't believe what she had just said but it was to late to recover.
He shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair. "The more you spend time with him the more I worry."
"There's nothing to worry about." They finally got to a calm street where the flow of traffic lessened.
"Than tell me you love me and tell me that I'm yours and your mines."
"Sesshomaru why are you acting this way. Ever since I started this project you've been acting weird. You're always on my case. You always seem upset when I tell you I'm meeting Kira. Like…. Like your jealous."
" Maybe I am. I've been hearing around school that you two are together. I even heard you were caught kissing him in the library. Are these rumors true or are they just lies." Kagome looked away. She didn't' want to lie again but if she told the truth the worst was yet to come out of that action.
"I didn't. Can you just walk me to Kira's house so I can start the project please." Sesshomaru tugged her to the direction of the house with a glare plastered on his face.
"I'll walk you there and better yet I'll stay with you there."
"Well I didn't expect you to come Kagome." Kira smiled at Kagome and soon glanced at the man who held her hand firmly. "Didn't expect you on my door step either Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru shoved Kira aside and lead Kagome in the house. Kira caught his footing and smiled as he closed the door. Well the competition has arrived. He followed the couple that soon will be broken up by a storm when Kira was finished with them.
Kagome soon lead Sesshomaru to the living and they soon sat down. " You don't need to stay. We're just fixing up the poster and just asking each other questions for the paper we have to write."
"I'm staying." Kira soon came in with a poster, glue and a box of markers. The smile on Kira's face as he looked at Kagome who smiled back made Sesshomaru clench his hand into a fist. She got up off the couch and pushed the table aside. She sat on the floor and grabbed the poster from Kira who soon sat down beside her.
"Lets start off with the poster." She picked up an orange marker but Kira soon took it away and grinned.
"How about the questions. Lets start with that." Kira insisted as he grabbed the paper that he set beside him. Kagome took the blank line paper and a pencil.
"Sure thing. It doesn't matter as long as we finish one part today." Kagome laid on her stomach and tapped the pencil on the paper, waiting for him to hand her the paper with the questions.
"I'll ask you the questions first."
"Alright." She handed him the pencil and paper and turned to lay on her back. Staring at the ceiling she waited. She could feel the tension in the room as she glanced at a glaring Sesshomaru who kept his eyes on the both of them.
"Your full name is?"
"Kagome Odagiri."
"Future goals?"
"Nurse I guess."
"Okay now for personal questions. How about your picture perfect life when you have a career set. Will you have a family or anything like that? What would your picture perfect life be?"
Kagome looked up at the ceiling as she thought about things. "I would like to have a family but my picture perfect life would be if I had my family with me. For my mother and father to see me grow up I guess but I don't think that's what the questions asking so I'm just going to say a healthy family."
"Alright, how about love. What does love mean to you." Kira put the paper down as he stared down at her.
"Love is something that I don't really know much about. I know it's something that you can say is warm but that's a load of crap. It's not something you feel inside but something that you show. To truly love someone you have to be able to have qualities in a relationship. Like you have to be able to trust the person you love and able to have some kind of truth in the relationship." She stopped and looked at him, motioning for the next question.
She was uncomfortable to what she just said but she got through it and said what she thought was right. She really had no clue what it really was but the things she said was true and she believed in it.
"The next question is." He stared at her as they exchanged glances and started again without looking at the paper. "The next question is who do you love?"
Kagome jerked up and stared at him in confusion. "What do you mean who do I love I don't think that's one of the questions."
"It's not. It's my question and I want to know who do you love, me or him." Kira smirked at Sesshomaru who bolted out of his seat with a clenched fist. "What's wrong Sesshomaru, why don't you relax and let her choose? If it's not me than fine but I want to know Kagome. Who do you love and want to be with?"
Kagome looked at the two who stood beside her and sighed. "Stop it Kira. Lets just finish the project with out this nonsense okay."
"Fine I'm sorry. Lets finish and I won't-"
"Answer him Kagome. Who do you love?" Sesshomaru didn't want the question to just be pushed aside. He just wanted her to say she loved him and let the cocky Kira's smile to fade away but she didn't say anything but sat there.
"Just say you love me and get it over with Kagome."
"Sesshomaru can you please stop it."
Kira smiled. He knew that he left some of himself in her heart whether she wanted to believe it or not he knew she had her in his grasp. "Why don't you stop pressuring her and be quiet so we can finish." Kira said with a smirk
Sesshomaru glared at Kira than back at Kagome. "Don't tell me you love him?"
"Sesshomaru I don't. I just need to finish the project."
"Than why don't you tell Sesshomaru that you love him so much?" Kira rest his elbow on his leg and rested his chin on his knuckles, waiting for her to say the words that everyone was waiting for.
Kagome looked at the two of them and shook her head. "I don't want to-" A life saving ring tone rang in her pocket and she fumbled to take it out. She raised it up to her ear and answered.
"Hello."
"I'm here for you." A low voice said in a whisper.
"Hello? Whose this?" The voice wasn't familiar at all and she checked the caller ID but it was a restricted number.
"Don't worry about who I am I just wanted to say that your mines." She didn't answer him but his voice just made her hands tremble. "No one will take you away from me and I'll kill anyone who tries." The phone went dead and she just stared at the phone with fear.
Well, well how scary.lol.. well now that all this love fest is up and running the angst is pushing that away. Muuahahaha...lol.. kidding well i'll see you.
