It has been almost three months since that fight and Sesshomaru was not in the best of spirits.
He tried going back to her office but she casted a strong barrier that prevented him from entering. He was impressed but at the same time annoyed.
Mainly with himself. It was mainly his fault anyway.
The others tried to help him but Kagome wasn't stupid. She always intercepted their plans and always came up with some sort of excuse of why she could not make it knowing he would be there.
She changed her number and he could not for the life of him get near her home.
"Hey. . . Sesshomaru" he did not bother turning around.
"What is it Inuyasha" he sighed.
He walked over to his brother looked towards him and leant against the window.
Though Sesshomaru did not show it physically, he knew his brother was beginning to get depressed and discouraged.
"You need to do something" Miroku walked in behind him.
"Yeah man" said Kouga "It was only because of Kagome that you lightened up and actually had fun" he said sitting down.
"This isn't healthy Sesshomaru" Ayame said.
"Yeah, you're starting to block us out like when we all first met" Sango interjected.
"What is it that you want me to do" he growled coldly "if you have not noticed I have tried to get her back but I cannot get near her"
"But I can" they turned to see Kikyo walking in as she put her phone away.
"It is obvious that my sister is strong and a talented miko" she said "but so am I" she looked towards Sesshomaru with hard cold eyes.
After hearing what transpired between the two, she took up for her sister and helped her in avoiding Sesshomaru. But now it was taking toll on her health.
She is rarely ever home because she now works ungodly hours to make sure her mind stays away from Sesshomaru or any and everything dealing with him.
She has dropped too much wait. Atleast to Kikyo anyway. When she is home, she can hear Kagome cry herself to sleep. This was not going to do.
"Before I say anything else I need your word that should I choose to go through with this that you NEVER let her get like this again"
She was beyond serious. She cares deeply for her sister and does not want to see her like this ever again.
"I give you my word" Sesshomaru said honorably "but what exactly can you do to get us in the same room"
"Let me worry about that" she smirked
Kagome sat in her office working away on her new project.
Her eyes were red and puffy from her tears. Her head hurt from reliving that day and her heart hurt from remembering those words.
"Kagome" she asked coming in.
"What is it Kikyo" she sighed not really wanting to talk. Her voice was strained and raspy from crying too much.
"I just found out that Miroku, Kouga, and Inuyasha are taking Sesshomaru out the country for basically a guys weekend"
She flinched hearing the growl coming from her sister hearing Sesshomaru's name.
"Sango, Ayame, and I are demanding that you come with us for an all girls vacation" her voice left no room for arguing "I have spoken with mother and she agrees and she will be watching over the company for the next 2 weeks"
"Kik-"
"Whether you like it or not you are going" She turned to see their mother walk in.
"I do not like what I am seeing from you Kagome. . . you are feeling pain that none of us can help you with but if there is something we can do to make you relax then we will. Your bags are packed and there is a car waiting for you with friends already inside"
If there is one person Kikyo knows Kagome will never disobey it is their mother.
"But mom what about my new project, I -"
"It will be here when you get back and I will handle all your deadlines. . .if the next words out of your mouth are not along the lines of "okay ma'am I'll see you when I get back I love you and thank you" than I do not want to hear it. Am I making myself clear"
She loves her daughter very much but she hates how she inherited her stubbornness.
"Yes ma'am" she sighed in defeat.
The plane ride wasn't so bad. They were all on their private jet and having a blast. Kagome was enjoying herself already. They watched as she and Sango began to dance to "FREAKY FRIDAY BY CHRIS BROWN AND LITTLE DICKY."
Ayame joined in as well laughing and dancing. Kikyo sat back and watched their antics.
'Somethings never change' she giggled to herself as she watched her friends.
It has been a while since she saw a true smile on her sisters face and hearing her laughter and seeing her have fun like old times was truly awesome.
She was pulled from her musings feeling someone grabbing her.
"Come on Kikyo" Kagome giggled "join us"
She was about to object but laughed hearing them chant her name.
"Fine" she laughed.
"Where are you guys going" Kagome asked.
They had just reached the hotel and went to get their keys. They walked towards the room when she noticed Sango and Ayame had their own rooms.
They looked at her and smile before entering their rooms leaving her and Kikyo in the hall. Kikyo took the key from her and opened the door. Kagome walked in but Kikyo did not enter.
"Kagome" she said making her look back "I love you and I only want to see you happy. . . I hope you do not hate me later for this because it was my plan"
Before she could react Kikyo closed the door but Kagome could not get it to open.
She was about to yell when someone interrupted her.
"Hello Kagome" she stiffened hearing that voice.
The same voice that called her those names. The same voice she vowed she never wanted to hear again. The same voice that kept her up at night. She turned and her saw the face that haunted her dreams.
"Sesshomaru"
