Out of all the horrible awful Mondays Sesshoumaru had experienced, this one had to be the worst. Except for the fact that his father had given him the day off- but everything else completely overruled that. His cook quit, Rin wouldn't stop crying, the maid had gotten bleach stains all over his clothes, and he stepped on a tack when he went into his office to get his ipod.
"Sesshoumaru! Will you please make breakfast!? Rin won't stop crying and Sango thinks she might be able to help, especially since she has three kids! Please!" She shouted from Rin's room. "I'm sorry that I snapped at you last night too, I'll make up for it when I get home."
Sesshoumaru weight the odds in his head for a minute. Hm, make breakfast and keep wife happy, or don't and make her pissed off.
"Alright." He shouted to her.
"Ok, I'll be leaving in a couple of minutes."
Sesshoumaru went down stairs and into the kitchen. He may have only known how to cook things that come out of a box, but he knew how to cook waffles. Whenever Telulu was cramping, he made her waffles because it always kept her from killing him. She had taught him how so she never would end up doing that very thing.
He got out the eggs, and the milk, but realized he had a problem. He didn't know where anything was in his own kitchen. He held back a growl at this realization. He just had to look. He took a deep breath and began to think. If I was a 25 year old woman here would I keep baking goods?
"Bye hon!" Kagome called from the front door.
Sesshoumaru grunted and continued he search. The cabinet? He looked around; there were about twenty different cabinets. So he went for the ones closest to the stove.
20 minutes later........
Sesshoumaru looked upon his handy work, near to perfect waffle batter and two waffles cooking. It had taken him awhile to find everything, but he did it. He probably would've just made cereal, if he hadn't known how to make waffles.
Telulu's face flashed through his mind. Sesshoumaru let out a fierce growl. He didn't need to think about her! She was gone. He was married to Kagome, and she had no place in his life. None what so ever. Or at least that's what he thought. Because at the very moment he was thinking that, some one who was about to change every thing, was walking up his driveway, and to his front door.
Sesshoumaru focused all his attention on the waffles. he lifted the top of the waffle iron and was pleased with the sight of golden brown deliciousness. Carefully, he took the waffles out and put them on a plate. Just as he was about to re-fill the iron with batter the door bell rang.
Sesshoumaru growled. Who comes to people's homes at- he glanced at the clock- 9:45 in the morning? He set the waffle batter down and rinsed off his hands before going to the front door. The sight that greeted him was very, very unexpected. It was a girl maybe a little younger than him. She was tall, and still would be without the white strappy heels she was wearing. her hair was long, about mid-back and brown with loose banana curls. Her red camisole set off her green eyes, which were looking at him expectantly. Her black knee-length skirt rustled in the wind and she was all the warning she had before her arms were linked around his waist, and her face was buried in his chest.
"God! You have no clue how much I've missed you, Sesshoumaru!" She nearly squealed into his shirt.
Sesshoumaru stood still, in complete and total shock. He had to be dreaming! that's it, it was al just a crazy weird dream meant to torture him.
"Say something, please. I've missed your voice." She said.
"Telulu?" He asked tentatively. What the hell was going on?
"Of course, silly! Who else would it be? I mean-" She paused for a moment. "Well, without the dyed hair, crazy clothes, contacts, overly done make-up, and excessive amounts of bracelets and necklaces, you wouldn't recognize me at first would you?"
"No, I wouldn't." Sesshoumaru all but mumbled.
Why on earth was she here? And why now, five years after she left? People didn't just do that with out a good reason right? But then again she had always been very spontaneous. One minute they'd be on their way to the movies, she'd see a book store and in they'd go. Not a single warning either, she'd just grab his hand and pull him right along with her.
Telulu looked up at him and smiled, arms still chained around him.
"So, are you going to let me in?" She asked.
"You're going to have to let go of me first." He pointed out.
"Oh, yeah, that would be a good idea wouldn't it?"
"Yes, it would."
Telulu released her death grip from around his waist and followed him when he went in and shut the door behind herself.
Sesshoumaru started off towards the kitchen and said to her. "Make yourself comfortable in the dining room. You do remember where it is right?"
"Of course I do." She replied and went in the opposite direction of the kitchen.
She had spent so many afternoons with him in this house. His father had given it to him as a graduation gift a few months before graduation even happened. She smiled as she stepped into the dining room and recognized the slightly mismatched area of paint on the wall they had once spent an evening throwing knives at. It was one of the most absolutely ridiculous things they had ever done but it had been fun.
She was telling him how she had wanted to be able to throw a knife at a burglar or something, without missing or only hitting him with the handle. He had said that it was ridiculous that she didn't know how. For some odd reason he did know though, and drew a target on the all so he could teach her. Telulu giggled and sat down in one of the new chairs that she didn't recognize and began to hum. That's when she noticed the picture. The big 24x50 inch picture of Sesshoumaru and Kagome, and their wedding party, groom's men, brides maids, flower girl, the whole shebang.
She began to tear up for a moment. That was supposed to be her. Telulu wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. She deserved it, after all she left. She hadn't told him what was going on in her life either, why should he tell her.
"Waffles?"
Telulu jumped and turned to face Sesshoumaru who stood in the doorway, holding two plates of fresh waffles.
"Always, yes please and thank you." She smiled as he set a plate in front of her, and then sat across the table from her.
"So, where are your daughters?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Telulu was taken back by the question.
"Oh that's right, my website." She mumbled to herself and then replied, "Their at Ayame's house, I thought it would be best if they didn't meet you yet. Congratulations, by the way. On the marriage. It's nice to know that you listened to me."
"Thank you. But what do you mean it would be better if they didn't meet me yet?" Sesshoumaru's interest was now piqued. Why would Telulu try to keep them away from him?
"Oh right. I mean that is why I came to see you." She took a deep breath and hid her shaking hands under the table. "Sesshoumaru, my girls are twins, they'll be five years old in a week. But the thing is, I'm not married, and I haven't even dated another man after being with you."
"You're not telling me that... those girls?" Sesshoumaru looked at her as though she was crazy.
"Their names are Calypso Shiori Taishou and Charlotte Chihiro Taishou. They're your daughters." She said meekly.
"What?" Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to shout. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know I was pregnant until a month or so after I left! I knew you'd be with some one else and I thought that you'd hate me for leaving the way I did. I was scared, and I didn't want to face the fact that you might hate me. I lo-"
"Get out." Sesshoumaru ground out. "GO."
"Sesshou-"
"I said go!" He shouted
Telulu stood and reached into her bag. "I'm staying at the Sun Route Hotel in Shinjuku if you want to talk."
She placed a photo album on the table and walk out of the dining room.

Kagome got out of her car and was going to the back seat for Rin when she noticed a red car in the driveway she didn't recognize. Kagome frowned and hurried to get Rin out of her car seat. As she started to walk towards the house pretty girl stepped out, who looked like she was about to burst into tears. She saw kagome and rushed to her car.
"HEY!" Kagome shouted.
She as too late though, the girl was gone leaving only some dust from the gravel in the air.
"What was that about?" Kagome murmured to herself and hurried into the house.
