Fluffy: Hey everyone. I'm sorry I haven't updated yet. It's really hard to find a song that fits Fluffy and Kagome. So anyway, This song belongs to Terri Clark and Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. I wish I owned them, but I don't. T.T On with the story.
Kagome was following Kouga to the front porch wondering what he was doing.
Ever since they came home with the baby, he had been looking troubled and hurt. It had been that way for three months.
Kagome was jarred out of her thoughts when Kouga simply said, "Later."
"Huh? Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"Listen, Kagome. I am leaving. I won't be coming back. I can't be the loving father for Rin, even your mother knows that. Tell the truth, you two are better off without me in your life. Take care of yourselves. Later!" he yelled as he drove off on his motorcycle.
Kagome just stood there with the baby in her arms. She couldn't believe it. He just up and left. This got her thinking, 'Man, even a stranger would show a little bit more compassion.' Kagome just wanted to go to bed and cry until she fell asleep. Then, she heard the baby crying.
'Ugh. Kagome, you're so selfish. You have to take care of the baby. I can live without Kouga. I will not let misery have the power. I don't have time for this. I have to find that blanket!'
He said, "Goodbye," from the edge of the porch, like she'd been some casual friend. He said you're better off without me. I'm not what you need," like her momma had said about him. He started the car, pulled out of the drive, and didn't waste any time looking back. She watched him go, thinking, "Even a stranger would show more compassion than that.
She could've cried, but she didn't have time. She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find. To rock their little one to sleep. She could've laid in bed for hours, given misery the power, but she didn't have time.
5 years later...
Kagome walked into the house with a few groceries and found her little girl playing a game with Sango, Kagome's best friend. Rin was just so cute, now. She had her mother beautiful night black hair and mystical silver blue eyes, but she had her father's irresistible smile. That combination is what got Rin piano lessons, ballet class, and T-ball. She was really tired right now from working in that cursed factory. The only perk was the pay. Other than that, it was crap.
As she put Rin to bed, Sango decided to talk with Kagome. Kagome was a great woman. She didn't deserve the single mother life. She deserved to have at least a husband to help her out. She was practically dead on her feet. Worse yet, if she tried, she could get any guy she wanted. Her black hair actually blended into the night sky while her eyes actually made her stand out. How could any guy ignore that figure of hers as well?! She got a body even a model would envy. Then again, with all her luck, the guys were either married, gay, or perverts. Life sucked for her.
"Hey, Kagome. Listen. This is really getting dumb. Take a break and get outta this house. Who knows? Maybe fate will actually be nice and you'll meet a nice guy." That was all Sango had to say before she left the house to get back to her boyfriend, Miroku.
As soon as she left, Kagome went into her room and started thinking that Sango was right. She was just barely making ends meet and she wasn't getting any younger. Unfortunately, she couldn't afford to get time off. She had to keep food on the table for her and Rin. This was going to be one hell of a time.
She got a sitter. She got a job 'cause she had a promise to keep. Her day was a factory and evening survival, and night was exhaustion and sleep. Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watching was all she could do. Her friends said, "You gotta get outta the house and maybe you'll meet someone knew. She could've tried, but she didn't have time. She had a five year old to feed. She had ballet class , piano lessons, and T-ball little league. She could've laid awake for hours, given lonely nights the power, but she didn't have time.
Kagomewas in for it this time. She was going to be late for work and her tire went flat. She really hated the fact that she didn't have the equipment needed to fix her flat except her spare. Worse yet, she was in a crowded parking lot with tons of people who were too stuck up to help. She really hated that no one helped her when she needed it. She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a shadow on her.
"Miss? Do you need some help?" the owner of the shadow inquired. She looked and saw a god. His long, silver hair was almost touching the ground and he had eyes the looked like two pieces of amber glowing in the sunlight. He had just the right build. He wasn't a body- builder, but he wasn't scrawny. He was fabulously gorgeous.
Finally, after much ogling, she stammered, "Y-yeah. My car has a flat and I don't have the right equipment to replace it. Could you help me out?"
Sesshomaru had never seen a woman like this in his life. Sure, he'd met a few women that were attractive, but she was drop dead gorgeous. He was just walking to his car when he noticed her. As he was fixing her tire, he realized that there was a car seat in the car. 'Maybe she has a kid. I hope she does. Shippo could use a friend.'
Sesshomaru was finally finished with the tire, but he didn't want her to leave. So, he said, "Would you do me the honor of joining me for some coffee?" just before kissing her hand.
Kagome felt like such a princess, she decided to say, "It would be my honor." So she called in sick and went with him.
After about half an hour, they got into friendly chatter and sharing their stories and issues. Finally, Sesshomaru asked, "So, do you have kids?"
Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again? Not time for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then. Not time, nut yes have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed. She was thinking, 'Gosh, he's handsome,' when he asked, "Do you have kids?"
Kagome was really thinking, now. 'Okay, Kagome. Weigh your options. Tell him about Rin, and you might end up making him run. If you don't, who knows. Oh well. Can't learn to swim without going in.'
Finally, Kagome said, "Yeah, she's five, now." Kagome was seriously hoping that she didn't make a mistake.
Sesshomaru was actually smiling at this. He happily said, "I had a feeling you did. I saw the car seat. I have kid of my own. I love kids. Tell me, does she have your eyes?" They continued on for more than two hours. When Kagome finally got home, she had Sesshomaru in tow and had that "now dating" look on their faces.
Rin was happy to see that her mom was home and even happier that she was dating. Things were starting to look up for Kagome and Rin. All because this woman once didn't have time.
She could've lied, but she didn't have time. All she said was, "She's five."
He said, "I saw the car seat. I love kids. Does she have your eyes?" And they sat and talked for hours, giving destiny its power. She could've been afraid to fall in love that night, but she didn't have time. She could've been afraid to fall in love that night, but she didn't have time.
Me: It is finished! Dude, was able to do this in three hours! I am awesome. Anyway, read and review, you get the deal.
