The Sight of Your Eyes

Chapter 7-The Paintings

Kagome went back to Miroku's owned apartment buildings to ask him if she could stay at her old apartment again. But then she found out that the apartment was bought by some rich guy who Kagome imagined as old, and cranky. How could she live now? Where could she live now that the apartment was bought and Miroku was gone.

'I have an idea!' Kagome thought, 'I'll just have to talk to the owner won't I? Then that's what I will do!'

Sesshoumaru was busy tracking her down that he had bought the old apartment that she was in and had bought the company that she had been going to to take her part time job. Sesshoumaru had asked the company if they have an employee named Kagome but they don't even know. He made them search their employees' files to find the last name Higurashi but still nothing had been found.

'Perhaps, she moved?' was in his mind.

Kagome was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't notice the silver haired guy named Inuyasha came up to her.

'Huh?' Kagome thought, 'could that be Sesshoumaru?'

"Hey Kagome! Long time no see!" Inuyasha said cheerfully.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome squealed and hugged him with all her might.

"Ka-go-me," Inuyasha said trying to breath.

"Oh, sorry Yasha," Kagome said blushing.

"Have you seen my bro somewhere? You guys are like the best friends in like forever!"

"Umm...yeah actually," Kagome said, "we're kind of married."

"What!" Inuyasha yelled, "how come I never heard!"

"Hush! Inuyasha!" Kagome hushed him.

Kagome asked him if she could stay in his place for awhile while she was looking for a place on her own and of course Inuyasha said, "and why is that? You're married to Sesshoumaru and you're living at his bro's house. Why that's quite a story in media papers huh, Kagome?" Kagome blushed.

"Then I'll just talk to the owner of the apartment building then," Kagome said sadly, "then can you find out who the owner is?"

"Sure thing!" Inuyasha said. Inuyasha fished his cell phone out from his pocket and dialed selected numbers. Then began to talk, "Yeah, I need to...Ekota apartment suits, yeah, yeah, thanks." Inuyasha turned his attention to Kagome then said, "the suits are owned by my only dearest brother."

"You gotta be kidding me," Kagome muttered.

"Say, why are you here for anyway?" Inuyasha's curiosity got the better of him, "shouldn't you be with Sesshoumaru?"

"Umm...Yeah about that...I fled," Kagome said nervously.

Sesshoumaru drove to the apartment suits hoping to find her there. Luck was on his side this time. Kagome appeared to be sitting on the bench outside the building's office but when he was getting close to her, she was sleeping on the bench.

'This could not do,' Sesshoumaru thought, 'my wife won't sleep on benches like a cheap woman.' Sesshoumaru carried her to his car thinking that she wouldn't escape him next time.

The next day came fast enough to find that she was not in her old bedroom but realized that she was indeed in a luxurious bedroom full of paintings. What shocked her was that those paintings seems so familiar to her. Was it...

"Your awake," Sesshoumaru said leaning against the doorway, "do you like the paintings?"

"Umm...yeah," Kagome said nervously, "and I've seen them before, too."

"Where would that be?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Just out there somewhere," she said and then yelled, "wait a minute...what am I doing here?"

"I found you before you were about to get raped," Sesshoumaru said seriously.

"Wha! Where? I'll kill the bastard! You saved me?" Kagome asked, "thanks!"

"Calm down!" Sesshoumaru commanded, "I was merely jesting."

"Yeah right," Kagome said instantly came up to him, hit him on his chest, and said jokingly, "who are you?"

"Calm down," Sesshoumaru said, amused.

Kagome couldn't believe it! Sesshoumaru has changed a great deal in how many years? She didn't exactly know. But Sesshoumaru has...changed. Kagome really missed out on a lot of things happening around with her friends because of her ran away. So what else changed? She hadn't had a clue.

"But you never joked around," Kagome said awed.

"I only joke with you, Kagome," Sesshoumaru said but couldn't help catch the double meaning of what he said, "noone else but with you."

"Are you famished?" Sesshoumaru asked, "come, let's dine."

They were eating peacefully in the dining room, but the paintings keep coming up in her mind. She really couldn't dispose of them. Those paintings...those paintings were made by my late husband. "Naraku," she said outloud.

"Pardon?" Sesshoumaru said.

"Huh? Oh nothing," Kagome said coming out of her revery.

Sesshoumaru could have sworn she had said the name that painted the paingtings in his room.
