Time and Tragedy, Finally Fixed? Chapter 3: Capter 2, an inuyasha fanfic

Chapter 2 of Time and Tragedy, Finally Fixed?

The music was loud, playing a rather sad song when their eyes met for the first time in a long time and centuries for the other being in the loud club. The song playing at the moment was Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down, as the lyrics washed over Kagome their words struck a cord within her as her eyes met with Sesshomaru's molten gold eyes. Pain laced through her as his name slipped unheard and hesitantly past her lips "Ses...sho...maru" spinning she fought through the crowded dance floor trying to escape his piercing gold eyes that elicited her pain and anguish that had built up over the years unbeknownst to her. She made slow progress away from the still figure of her long lost love, that she feared would never be and knew would never happen now, for she had seen what she believed to be his son the previous day in the lobby and earlier today in the store. Tears welled in her eyes as she fought to keep them unshed, unwilling to give him the satisfaction of her pain and suffering.

Sesshomaru was happy to see her, but hid all emotion from his face. He knew he had been wrong in not finding her six years ago when she had returned for the last time ever from the well, it's not like he hadn't wanted to either. Unfortunately business had kept him away for those six years and he knew he had hurt her deeply by never showing up to her. Her reaction though was not expected, he was ashamed of himself when he saw the deep pain in her once happy eyes. And when she turned and fled he was unsure of what action to take, finally after she had effectively disappeared from his sight he decided to race after her to try and fix things between them. He hoped that she was still the forgiving young woman he had fallen in love with 507 years ago, if not he would never forgive himself for the harm he had caused her by being a no-show. He also had a sinking feeling that she thought his nephew was his son and that she would be unresponsive towards him, he would kill his nephew for not coming out with the full truth and leaving everything vague. Catching her scent in the ally he followed it like a bloodhound tracking its victim, finally he caught up to her and gently but firmly pressed her against a wall as the scent of her tears assaulted his delicate nose. Trying to soothe her he pulled her into a passionate kiss hoping she would respond to him and begin kissing back, but for the second time that night she had done the unexpected.

Pulling away from him quickly she slapped him hard on the cheek and then berated him for thinking he could just show up and start kissing her like nothing had happened. She was yelling in her anger and pain as she said "Who do you think you are to just show up after six years and then trying to pull this shit? You never showed up at the well so you have no right to do what you just did, do you have any idea how much pain I have felt over those long years of waiting. I had finally pieced my life together and was trying to move on Damn IT! Then you come along now and pull that stunt, your such an ass Sesshomaru, I'm sorry I ever fell in love with you…." She was silenced by a finger to her lips as he tried to look into her eyes, she wouldn't meet his gaze instead she stared at the ground trying to wish him away.

Looking into her reddened eyes he said "I'm sorry I never came for you Kagome, can you find it within yourself to forgive me? I never showed due to complications in this highly advanced time and I regret not being able to find you sooner."

"I..I... thought ...you were dead when you never came for me. Is that man your son? Could you not wait for me long enough then?"

"Itoshii...My itoshii he is not my son. I never mated, because I waited for the day when I would find you again. But things happened that I had to take care of and I wasn't in Japan at the time to find you until now dearest. Inutaiyo is my nephew Kagome, he is Inuyasha and Kikyo's son. I am just ensuring his well being now that my brother has passed away, can you forgive me of my wrongs towards you. I never meant to hurt you Kagome, for I Sesshomaru still love you and always have since the year before our parting and the offer to becoming my one and only mate still stands if you wish to accept me."

Staring at him with uncertainty she asked "Inuyasha died? When did he die?"

"About one hundred years ago, he passed away from old age and he wished me luck with you before he died. We had overcome our differences because of you and stayed civilized towards each other to the end of his days. Now I look after his son and insure he has a good future and doesn't suffer like Inuyasha had for so long. Now I ask again, will you forgive me itoshii and become my mate?"

"I….I don't know, I thought I would never see you again. I still love you, but I need a few minutes to think alone. Will you let me have a few moments to myself so that I can think it over?"

"Yes, I'll be around the corner okay. Call for me when you figure out what you want Kagome, I missed you so much." Turning he walked out of site and leaned against the wall to wait, hoping she would still have him.

Sighing Kagome slid down the wall to sit on the ground as she thought over her options. She was happy to see him, but she wasn't sure she'd get over the pain so quickly. On the other hand if she didn't accept him she would undoubtedly lose him forever and she didn't think she could deal with that in the least. God how she loved him for all his flaws and perfections, she really wanted him to take her and make her his for as long as she should live. Standing she had her decision now to tell him "Sessho… I've made up my mind" She waited for him to appear in front of her before continuing her sentence. "I want us to spend some time together and then I will make my final decision on whether or not to become your mate Sesshomaru."

He was cut by her words, but decided if this was the only way he would be able to get her back then so be it. Sighing he said "I will accept your terms itoshii, because I still love you and want us to become mates in the near future.

A few weeks later...

Picking up the phone Kagome dialed Sesshomaru's cell number and waited for him to answer it.

Three rings later she heard his voice as he said "Hello Kagome my dear, what is it that you called about?" he asked in a silky voice as he twirled his pen in a restless manner waiting for her to answer his question.

"I've come to a decision, can you meet me at the park? I would like to give you my answer there."

"Yes, what time shall I meet you there?" he asked while keeping the anxiety out of his voice.

"How about eleven today, by the fountain of course. See you then, Good bye Sessho."

Two hours later at the park...

"Hello Sesshomaru, glad to see that you made it this time." Kagome said a little sarcastically with a smile on her face.

"Of course I would come, for it was you who asked me to meet you here. So itoshii, when shall I have my answer?"

"Yes"

"Yes what?"

"Yes, I will become your mate for as long as I shall live Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru grinned before pulling her into a hug then kissing her breathless, pulling back a bit he said "Thank you for forgiving me and accepting my offer Kagome." Lifting her into the air he flew to the balcony of his magnificent home, landing he carried her into his room and set her gently on the bed before undressing slowly.

They were mated before the rising sun shed light into the bedroom and onto their sleeping forms. They had at last found what they had waited so long for and now they would be inseparable for the rest of their long lives.

Okay guys I'm sorry it took me so long to get this one up, hope you enjoyed it.
