Chapter Twelve: "I Just Can't Live A Lie"

It has been six months since Kagome had been home from the hospital, and six months since she heard from Sesshomaru. Eight moths since the break up. As she sat alone in her room. She let some tears run down and fall onto her arm. She missed him so much. She couldn't be with out him. She was losing it. She had to see him, but she was afraid to.

It was a cold, and rainy night. For being in the summer time. The phone then ranged at 7pm.

ring

She jumped at the sound of her house phone ringing.

ring

As she walked calmly over to the phone she waited once more for it to ring, but it did not. She looked disappointed, and sad. This has been happing for the past few months, and every time she asked one of her friends, or family members if they've been calling her, and then hanging up. They told her one simple word, "No"

Going back over to the bed the phone ranged again. She groaned and ran to the phone picking up before they could hang up. "Hello" she greeted angrily.

"Ok.. Since you angry I'll call back later..." Inuyasha said.

"No. No. It's okey. It's just that person keeps calling my house still, and yet I can never get the number... Do you think it might be..." she trilled of.

"Nah... Kagome... i'm sorry to say this, but I haven't talked to Sesshomaru in the past six months... I think he moved." He lied, which she didn't know. As he looked over at the kitchen table sitting down was none other than Sesshomaru. With a cup of tea in his hand.

"Alright, byes Kag. Hey before you go. How about you sing at my club tonight." he said with a smile.

"Come on.. We all know you can sing.. Please.. Good. Be ready by 9:00!" he told her with a laugh. He then hanged up the phone, and looked over at Sesshomaru, and said, "You better come..."

He smiled, and said, "Trust me I will.."

"You better be... I'm doing this for you two! Oh, and to make it on the record! A child must be named after me" Inuyasha told, him in a stern voice.

"No."

"Middle name?" He pleaded.

"No."

"Godfather?"

"Maybe" Sesshomaru said, annoyed.

"Good can I also be your best man?"

"She hasn't even said yes yet!" Sesshomaru barked with announce.

"Oh, come on. Are you that dumb! Sess, she asks about you almost every damn day!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"..."

"So, can I be best man?" he asked.

"Gah...leave me alone!" Sesshomaru snarled at him.

8:30pm

Kagome walked into the Blood Moon club which was owned by Inuyasha. Since he had no true intentions of being involved with his father's company. As she walked in she looked around for Inuyasha, but soon a man came up to her. "Are you Kagome Higurashi?" he asked.

"Yes.." she trilled off.

"Come with me. I'll show you to your dressing room." he said. He was holding a clipboard in his right hand. He wasn't too bad to look at too, but her heart was already given to one man, Sesshomaru.

This reminded her of when she was 18 years old. She use to be in a band. They were really good. Almost got a record deal too, but one of the members had gotten pregnant. Kagome use to do some singing for extra cash in local clubs and such, but stopped when she got in college to gain a career in teaching. Now, she teaches students Music.

Looking into the mirror. She thought for a few minutes. Thought of one of the songs she was going to sing. One song stunk to her like glue for the past months. Nodding her head. She knew it was a song to sing. About her Sesshomaru.

"Are you ready?" asked a familiar voice.

Looking into the mirror she saw Inuyasha standing in the door entrance. "Yes.." she said, "Good. I'll see you out there. Do a good job kitten!" he said, with a wink. Which made her give out a giggle. Inuyasha hadn't change a bit. Even if he was married to Kikyo. He would never really change.

9:00pm

As the red currant was pulled the spot light shined down upon her. She was wearing a short little black dress. That Sesshomaru always loved on her. "I would like to sing a song by Carrie Underwood. It's called I Just Can't Live A Lie," she laughed, and gave a small smile. "This song is descanted to my one, and only.. Sesshomaru. Who I love more than anything..." she said as she trilled off. Looking over the people in the audience. One person caught her eyes. Sitting in the front was her Sesshomaru. Looking away. The music started.

Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
But I can't watch you walk away

Can I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
And all about the good times that we've been through
Could I wake up without you every day?
Would I let you walk away?

No, I can't learn to live without
And I can't give up on us now

Why is he here?... What is he doing here? Why isn't he fleeing away?...

Chorus
Oh, I know I could say were through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I fell cause I, I just can't live a lie

Does.. He love me still... Kagome thought, as she continued to sing. Sesshomaru did not move he only watched her. She could feel his love. He loved the way she singed. Away did. He never told her that her singing was beautiful, but now he would tell her. Everything that he had been holding back.


Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe

The way you know just what I mean

No, I can't learn to live without
Ohh, so don't you give up on us now
Ohh, I know I could say were through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I fell cause I, I just can't live a lie

Ohh, and I don't wanna try

Ohhhh, I know I could say were through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I fell cause I, I just can't live a lie

I just can't live a lie

But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I fell cause I, I just can't live a lie

Oh, I cant live a lie x2

As she stopped singing the crowd cheered, and clapped. Kagome blushed it had been so long since she's last singed in-front of a crowd before. When she turned to go behind the currant. She looked back to where Sesshomaru was sitting. He was gone. Gone. He left. He didn't like her, or love her no more. Tearing up she bowed and said her thank you's and ran to her dressing room.

Tears fell from her eyes. She knew it was all over, and that Sesshomaru did not love her anymore. Putting her hand over her face she cried. She then hear d a voice behind her, "You did a good job.." he said. She then gasped and said his name, "Sesshomaru..." He then continued, "No.. Not a good job." he then came an inch away from her face. "A wonderful job."

"Sesshomaru.." she sobbed. He held her close. "I've missed you so much..." she sobbed out once more. "Then be with me.." he said, as he came down on one knee. She sodded out once more. Not of sadness, but of happiness.

"Kagome Ann Higurashi.. Will you do me an honor, and take me back. Forgive me for being...down right dumb.. For losing you.. For not being there when you needed me. For only caring about my work, and not noticing you. Kagome, please become my wife. The future mother of my children.. Please take me back, and then became my wife. For I can not bear another day.. Without you..with me." he spoke with such love. It almost sounded corny. When it came from Sesshomaru, but at this point Kagome did not care how corny he sounded just now. She loved him, and didn't want to lose him. "Yes!" she cried out, as she hugged him and left kisses all over him. It broke out into a fit of passion between them. A passion that would last forever between them...
