Chapter Fourteen: The Accident

"Oh and please invite me to your wedding with Kagura. I would love to see the both of you married happily," her words haunted my mind as I drove back to my apartment. It wasn't the words that disturbed me. Her voice was the sole reason why that disturbed me. The way she had told me made me want to drive back to the mansion and comfort her that I didn't mean anything that I had said. Her voice had been void of emotions even though she had tried to sound happy.

My mind was elsewhere as I drove back to my apartment. For a moment I regretted my actions. I should have given Kagura up and begin a new life with Rin. What my father had said made sense. Sacrifices were necessary in regards of certain issues. This was one of it. 'There's no turning back for you now. You promised Kagura a new life with you. Why hurt her for Rin? Either way one is bound to get hurt.'

'In this case…if Rin is hurt, it means she loves me right? She wouldn't have sounded like that or looked like I killed her soul if she doesn't love me right? She loves me…Oh God she loves me…' I told myself as I let the truth soak into my mind.

"No…this cannot be true. She said it…she said that she doesn't love me. There must be some explanation for this other than she loving me," I subconsciously whispered to myself as I concentrated on the sting I felt in my heart.

I sighed as I silently contemplated my action thus far. There was no way in hell of rectifying my actions.

But it didn't matter anymore. I still had Kagura, the love of my life, by my side. That was enough to make me smile in bliss, making me forget the guilt and pain I felt in regards of Rin. 'I'm going to make love to her again once I reach home,' was the only thought I had as I drove home.

"CLICK," came, the sound of the door unlocking. I pushed down the handle as I opened the main door of my apartment.

"Tadaima," I announced as I closed the door to my apartment. No footsteps or voice were to be heard. Not even the rustling of the bed. 'Well this is weird. Kagura usually greets me.' I walked to the kitchen hoping to catch a glimpse of Kagura.

"Kagura?" I called out as I entered the washroom next. No one was in there. I walked to the balcony to see if she was there. Kagura loved the balcony as it gave the picturesque of the sea and the seashore. I remembered commenting to her that she loved the nature more than she loved me. She had laughed it off and continued gazing at the beautiful scenery.

But she wasn't there.

Next I tried the study room. If it weren't the balcony she usually hanged out in the study room, meddling with my laptop. She always surfed on the net if I wasn't around at home. However this time, she was not there too. It was half past four and I doubted that she was taking a nap. Kagura never took a nap in the day.

I walked towards our bedroom with practiced calm and ease. Turning the door knob of the door, I pushed the door open. "Kagura?" I called out her name once more anticipating for her reply.

No one was in the bedroom as I walked deeper into the room. I headed to the bathroom in our bedroom, but only to be disappointed.

Where could she be? 'She must have gone down to run some errand.' My mind told myself. I unbuttoned my shirt and shrugged it off my shoulders and then onto my bed. Taking my towel from my closet I walked to the bathroom to have my shower. Well, it was a good way of clearing my head while waiting for Kagura.

"And once she reaches home, I'll make sure she'll be punished for making this Sesshoumaru wait for her," I whispered to myself, letting a wicked smirk grace my lips.

'It's already 7.30 and Kagura's not back,' I wondered to myself. I was at the balcony smoking a stick of my cigarette. This was my fifth stick in a row. Kagura should be back home by now. Smoking away, I walked to the living room to get the cordless phone. I took the phone and dialled her number. Putting the phone onto my ear, I heard the ringing tone of her phone.

As I heard the ringing tone of her phone, I vaguely heard the music of her phone when it rang. My brows creased to a frown as I trailed the sound of her phone which was coming from the study room. I opened the door and entered the room, walking towards the table. Hanging up the cordless phone, I took her mobile phone from the table.

'She never forgets to bring her mobile phone,' I said to myself. This was weird. My instinct told me that something was wrong, but I decided to ignore it.

I was about to walk out of the room when a note caught my sight. I held the note and began reading it.

'Dearest Sesshoumaru,

By the time you read this letter, I would have been gone. Probably out of the country. I seriously don't know what else to do other than to leave you. You should know by now that I'm very fond of Rin and I do not wish her any form of unhappiness. I know that she will be very upset knowing that you want a divorce and be with me. I'm certain she wouldn't mind it, but I mind. Guilt has been eating my conscience ever since I discovered my feelings for you. I do not think I can do this to her.

On the other hand, I don't think I can see you walk away from me for Rin if you ever decide to change your mind regarding the divorce. I will be shattered and I would probably start hating Rin for this. The last thing I want is to hate Rin and try whatever within my means of getting you back from her.

This is the only choice I have- to leave you while you're away. I don't think I have the strength to leave you with your knowledge. At least in this way I won't know for certain how you feel about my disappearance. Even though I might wonder for all my life about you, I know this is the right choice to do.

I don't want to stay by your side with everyone accusing me for stealing you away from Rin. I don't want to live with you with my guilty conscience. I know Rin will grant you divorce, but I also know that it's only because she wants to see you happy. I really hope that you will get back with Rin and be happy with her.

Believe me, she can make you happy. In fact she'll make you happier than me. I want you to know that I still love you. But I'm doing this because I love my friend more than you. It hurts to do this, yes. But I know time will heal my pain.

I wish you all the best.

Lots of love,

Kagura.'

By the time I ended the letter, I was crushing the letter. How dare she?! How dare she leave this Sesshoumaru?! Didn't I tell her that I will leave Rin and be with her for the rest of her life? Didn't I assure her with my love?! Was saving Rin's marriage more important than the love she had for me?! This was ridiculous!

I was breathing real hard as I let all the emotions that I was feeling wreaked through my body. Was this what I got for cheating on my wife? But it was Rin who plotted all of this! If she hadn't given me the opportunity, I wouldn't have been where I was! Again, I felt angry towards Rin. 'This is all because of her!'

"I'll handle with her later after I have found Kagura!" I vowed to myself as I began to react. Throwing the letter to one end of the room, I dashed out of my room and grabbed my car keys. Within seconds, I got out of my house and ran down the stairs three at a time.

I got into my car and got it started. And off I went, heading to the airport. My mind raced against all odds as I contemplated the chances of Kagura still being in the country. She could have taken the plane already. But whatever it was I was willing to go to the airport and check it out.

I slammed down on my car pedal as I accelerated, zooming past cars after cars. 'I have to make it there ASAP,' that was my only goal I had at the moment. I heard other motorists horning at me for cutting their lane with no signals given, but I was least bothered. It did not matter to me if I was going to get hacked by the traffic police. They could have me after I was pretty sure Kagura was out of the country.

As I reached at the intersection traffic lane, I made a left turn without decreasing the speed of my car. Well, it didn't really matter as the lane was free from vehicles.

However I was very wrong. As I was in the midst of making a turn I heard a series of horns directing to me. And what I was saw made my blood turn cold.

There, on my right, came a lorry with increasing speed just a few metres away from where my car was. I only managed to stop my car on time, giving me no time to reverse back to the lane I came from.

The next moment I heard were sounds of collision, and then followed by the pain I felt shooting up the right side of my body. I yelled in pain as I felt my car being pushed by the lorry. And the last thing I remembered before succumbing to the blackness of oblivion was me landing on the hard ground with a thud due to the impact of the lorry colliding into my car.

Please Review! Thanks! (:
