Chapter Seven

The brunette made her way up towards the house, her hands fumbling in her bag to find her keys. When she had found her keys she had put them between her teeth before she closed her bag and slide it back up her arm. Placing the key into the keyhole Kagura entered the house.

"Lei, are you here?" She asked as she dropped her bag and brought in her suitcase. It was empty in the house and as usual it was completely spotless. Lei seemed as one who could be obsessed with having a clean house. She smiled softly for even though she liked having her mess. It was nice to have peace and quiet. Her hands trailed across the unit of the hallway as she made her way to the living room.

Lei knew that she was going to be home today so where was he? Ah ha, she found it. She placed her hand on a note that was lying on top of their television set. She read it aloud to see what he had to say about leaving her deserted on her day back. "Work called me in, I shouldn't be long its just a meeting. Don't worry about dinner I'll bring something home with me. Sorry for not being here to welcome you home. Love, Lei." A smile crawled on her lips. Yes, that was it. She knew she loved her boyfriend more than Kyou. For even Kyou couldn't make that smile appear on her lips.

Her short hair tickled her neck as she sat down on the leather sofa, which was located in the middle of the living room. Her eyes found something interesting. It was there portraits. Lei and her had had their photograph enlarged and framed before putting it up on the wall above their fireplace. It was a great house they had, even if they had only shared it for a while. The thing about the house was that he had moved in with her not the other way around. How great it was just to see his smiling face once more. She realised then just how much she had missed him.

His hair was black and around his shoulders, pulled back at the fringe as his beautiful brown eyes were on show. His skin was gorgeously tanned like Kyou's although he may have gained his from his travels abroad. Lei usually went abroad like she did. Although her tan never really stayed like Lei's did. She was sitting there next to him, her smile bright as her hair was still long in that picture and framed her face beautifully. That was taken a couple of weeks into their dating. To think they would still be together now. It was great knowing that their relationship wouldn't have any problems like the relationship she had with Kyou had.

Kagura turned towards the small brown table next to the sofa and pulled out the phone from its cradle. She looked through the set numbers before clicking on the green call button. Placing the object to her ear she smiled softly as she lay back on the sofa waiting to hear whom it was that she was calling. She hoped that she was going to be in for it was very important this phone call. She had vowed not to tell Isuzu about Kyou but if she couldn't get her head around it then it would be for the best to do so.

"Hey Kagura-san. I suppose you've just came home." Isuzu spoke from the other side of the phone. Kagura smiled softly hearing her voice. It was good to hear from her. "What's the matter? I hope your not phoning just to speak to the baby again." God, she did do that a lot didn't she? Ask Isuzu to put the phone next to her baby bump just so she could say some thing to it.

"No! I just need to talk to you about Kyou." Kagura softly spoke as she could hear the soft cursing from the young women who used to be cursed by the horse. "Its just he was on the same flight that I was attending. We connected for the first time since we were kids…" She was happy that they had connected but she didn't expect him to kiss her. "But…"

"I should have known there would have been a but." Isuzu reeled. "You haven't fallen in love with that bastard again have you?" Kagura shook her head. How dare she swear like that when the baby was present? God, Lei would say it was cute the way that Kagura went on about the baby and he or she wasn't even born yet. When Kagura answered she heard a soft sigh from Isuzu. "God I'm glad you haven't. Then what's this but? Kagura…" She heard her name trail off as all Kagura gave her was the soft humming from the background.

"He kissed me."

"You didn't kiss him back did you? God, Kagura how could you be so stupid?" She sighed. That was nice. Isuzu still cared about her. She knew how happy Isuzu was when Kagura introduced her to Lei. She had said something about it being the first step for her to forget about Kyou. Kagura replied saying 'of course I didn't kiss him back' and she heard Isuzu tap her fingers on a wooden or plastic object. "I can see how this is a problem. Seeing, as you didn't give him any signals that you wanted him then you should be fine. Don't you tell Lei about this."

"Didn't even cross my mind." Well of course it did but she couldn't tell Isuzu that. "So… how is my godson or goddaughter's progress?" She asked smiling brightly sliding down to lie on the sofa. She heard the wonder's of how well Isuzu's last scan went. She really couldn't wait to get to see this baby. Kagura was very happy to hear all the news. "I'll be coming to visit you soon. Don't let that baby be delivered until I get there." She giggled as she looked to the spotless ceiling. Hanging up on Isuzu she realised something. Lei mustn't be working as hard right now. That was seeing as he had the time to clean up for her return.

The front door swung open as he entered, one hand holding a briefcase the other had a bag from the takeaway that he had went to. She scanned his appearance. She bit her bottom lip, as she didn't want to laugh out. Where did her clean-cut lover go? She was staring at Lei with his gorgeous shoulder length hair normally down but his white shirt was half open with his black tie undone and hanging around his shoulders. She had to admit she didn't mind the view though. Well it was hot outside she supposed. It wasn't that bad though. She pushed herself up from the sofa to watch him as he struggled to shut the door. As he finally managed to she surpassed that giggle.

"Hello stranger." She spoke walking to him, placing her hand to his neck and kissing him softly. She missed the feel of his skin under her fingers. She missed his kiss also. Her hand went to his moustache as she fingered the outline. She hadn't expected him to have it – he usually shaved it off by now. When they finally pulled away she smiled and tapped his moustache gently. "Don't get rid of that." She wondered why she had said that. It was only then when she realised. Kyou had a moustache as well, was it because of him? No it couldn't be… it was just because Lei looked so gorgeous with it.

"Hmmm, I missed that." Lei joked to her. She playfully hit his upper arm as she took the takeaway from him. She placed the white bag onto the table in front of the sofa. "Its still warm enough to eat." He told her as he got rid of his briefcase. Lei hung up his jacket onto the coat rack next to hers as he then sat next to her on the sofa. "Do you want to watch a movie whilst we eat?" She smiled. He should have known that was a bad question to ask her. "What?" He asked as he tapped her nose. "Oh no…" he just realised his mistake as Kagura stood up.

"My Neighbour Totoro!" Her hands found the DVD as she turned to Lei to present it. Yes even at this age Kagura was still into the movie's she had watched with Kisa. "1988, Hayao Miyazaki original!" Giggling she placed the disc into the player before going and sitting next to Lei once more who rolled his eyes but agreed. Her nose scrunched up from his reply. "Aw, just because you love me?" She snuggled close to him as he ran his arm around her shoulders. "Well here's a secret, Lei. I love you too." At least… she hoped she did. It still felt as though she did. Her fist clenched, god Kyou had to do that to her. Well at least she got to spend this time with Lei. Yes it was obvious that even though she was angry – the perky Kagura was still in control.

"So, did you have a good time in America?" Lei asked as he placed a piece of prawn cracker into his mouth. What should she reply with? Hmm, she gave a simple nod. "That's good. But so you know, I didn't have much fun here alone." Finally, he got a laugh from her. "You'll make it up to me, no doubt." This time all he gained was a shake of the head from her. Kagura stretched as she picked up the boxes and placed them back in the white bag. She went outside and placed the bag into the right bin. There were three bins, one for gardening waste, one for recycling and the other for the rest of the things they were to put into the bucket. Smiling softly she then walked back into the living room.

"I called Isuzu when I got in." He asked if she was okay. Kagura nodded her head softly as she looked out the window to find that it was getting dark. It seemed that Lei had noticed her intentions and bet her to it. He closed the curtains before going over to her. "Well she had her last scan and she's all ready to deliver when the baby decides to come." She grabbed the television remote and switched the electronic device off. "I love you." She repeated once more. Lei wrapped his arms around her before kissing her once more. This was a kiss that she was happy to return. He moved her softly up so that her legs wrapped around his waist. "Are you okay if I go to Shigure's tomorrow?" Lei nodded his head as he began to trail kisses down her neck whilst he took her to the bedroom.

She surpassed a moan as he put her onto the bed, his hands going to her airhostess top. Although it was strange, although she was enjoying this being with Lei all she could think about right now was Kyou. As Lei started to undo those light blue buttons she could just imagine it being Kyou doing this to her. When Lei muttered a loving remark she heard it in Kyou's voice. It was strange. As Lei pulled the top off of her shoulders and her hands went to his broad shoulders all Kagura could think was of Kyou trailing kisses down her shoulder, the same route that Lei was taking. It was strange… too strange… she had to get out of this fantasy before she caused trouble in her relationship.

Shaking her head she looked up to see Lei once more, he was unclasping her bra. His hands threw the material away before his lips kissed the soft skin, which caused a soft moan to surpass her lips. At least, she had gotten out of that fantasy quick enough to be able to enjoy this experience with Lei. Lei had then undone the zip on her skirt and slide it off as his trousers were soon discarded. He moved his body down onto hers as he gently pulled the covers over them. "I love you."
