A/n: I was determined to get this up, you have no clue how frickin sorry I am, I'll try to be better. We go up in two weeks, meaning in three I have that thing called a life back.

Disclaimer: I would be asian and have mad drawing skillz if I owned these characters, I'm strongly lacking in both points.

It wasn't said that they were together now, they just molded. Kagome spent every night in his room next to him, she hadn't worked up the courage or the will to go back to her house, she didn't need to. School was almost done, she was almost a freshman again, this time she would remember the year, next to her best friend at NYU.

She was sketching now, charcoal pressed heavily then lightly against the paper, the final parts of the sketch. It was just a girl, her raven black hair splayed on the brick, head laying on her hand as she rested on the brick wall. It was faint, but tears streaked down her cheeks, but she was asleep. Kagome got the idea in the middle of the night, leaving Sesshomaru's very warm side to the now perminant stack of canvas and drawing pads in the corner of his room. Kagome sighed and looked at the clock, settling her tired hand in her lap. It was one in the afternoon, she hadn't even noticed Sesshomaru leaving. He would be back, it didn't matter. She looked at her now blackened fingertips and palm, too bad, she had actually wanted to stay clean today. She set her charcoal down and settled into the bed, glad for once that it was the weekend.

-------------------------------------------------------

"She's back?" Sifu glared at Sesshomaru, the news shocking and happy, but mostly he was aggravated that he hadn't been told.

"She's back but I'm not sure how much exactly she remembers. She remembers the night and the times we were together, but other then that I'm not sure." Sifu looked at the silver haired young man on the leather couch, head in his hands as if exhausted.

"Then bring her here, I'm sure we could work something out. Sango will be in soon, semester ends in a week."

"Damn."

"What?"

"Nothing sifu. I have to go back to school for the week then. I'd completely forgotten about finals."

"Then why are you still here?" Sesshomaru looked up at the aging man in front of him. "Kagome? Take her with you." Another glare. "Fine leave her at your house. Is all you do glare anymore boy?"

"I don't want to leave her alone. And no my father and brother do not count." Sifu chuckled, he imagined Miroku was still around. He sat down next to his former student.

"You have to go finish finals, Kagome has to graduate. You each have your own responsibilities and she can hold her own just as well as you can. I'm sure she can hold her own against Miroku too. Am I going to have to beat that glare out of you?" Sesshomaru breathed heavily.

"Fine then." He stood abruptly and left the dojo. Sifu chuckled at his abruptness, Kagome would come around, he wasn't worried.

----------------------------------------------

Kagome had gotten up again to finish her drawings. It felt so good to just be able to lie in bed and draw all day. She smiled when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her from behind, kissing her neck very lightly, it gave her shivers.

"Cold?" Sesshomaru smirked.

"Not exactly." Kagome put her charpencil down and allowed Sesshomaru to see the nearly completed work. He let go of her, looking at the drawing intensly.

"Did you copy this from a photo?"

"No, it just popped into my head. Why?"

"I recognize this girl."

"Oh." Kagome was slightly confused. "Who does she look like?"

"A girl I knew a few years ago. Rin." Sesshomaru looked at Kagome who was staring intently at the picture in front of him. "It's not anything bad. I met her in my Senior year of HS." Kagome nodded and Sesshomaru kissed the top of her head. "No one important, just an old friend from school." Kagome nodded again. "Speaking of school." Kagome looked up at Sesshomau, not quiet sure what to think. "I have to go back."

"I kind of figured you would have to."

"I'll be gone for two weeks." Kagome nodded and looked down in her lap.

"Sure."

"Alright."

"Hey Sess, one more night?"

"Sure Kagome."
