A/N: Sooo, yeah, a speacial for you guys since I've been away for so long.
Chapters 17-21
Sesshomaru sat idly at his desk. His white Samsung Galaxy S5 was placed in front of him.
One week had passed since his meeting with Kagome, and he was still indecisive on when he should call her. He kept telling himself he would but here he was.
It wasn't like he was scared or anything. Who would he be if a puny little human woman with beautiful eyes scared him…and yet he was scared. It was completely irrational but nervousness crept up on him every time he so much as glanced at the cellular device sitting in front of him.
He closed his sun-kissed eyes and sighed quietly. If he didn't work up the courage to do it now, he never would. It wasn't like him to be so nervous anyway. Sesshomaru grabbed the phone and then tossed it back onto the gleaming wooden surface. Damn, he didn't know why he was acting like a lovesick pup. Then again, the images flashing through his head were more than enough reason to feel uncomfortable speaking with the priestess. The sight of her mangled body and the dishonor showered upon her were burned into his mind. It haunted him to this day.
Three more days passed and finally, Sesshomaru was annoyed enough with himself to grab his phone and search the contacts until he found her name. He paused for just a second before tapping call.
An excited, "Hello?" was heard from the other side and Sesshomaru found he didn't know what to say.
"Um, hello?" Nervousness crept into her voice.
"Hello, Kagome." He replied smoothly, though his grip on the device was rather tight.
"Sesshomaru!" She exclaimed, and he could detect relief in her tone. It made him feel guilty for making her wait so long.
"Have you been well Kagome?"
A week and three days. That's how long it had been and she was getting antsy. She really shouldn't have gotten her hopes up, but it was so nice to just talk to someone who knew, who had the same experiences.
It was a Saturday afternoon, after school let out. Her homework was finished in record time and now she was bored. Waiting for a call she hoped would come made her feel like an idiot, but it couldn't be helped.
Just as she was about to leave her room to go downstairs, her phone rang and she jumped, surprised.
"Hello?" Kagome asked with contained excitement into the phone. He had actually called her! The other end was silent and she bit her lip in a nervous habit, "um, hello?"
"Hello, Kagome." The smooth baritone of his voice flowed over her and she smiled. A bubbling happiness built inside her and she finally realized how anxious she had been to receive his call.
"Sesshomaru!" She winced, that may have been a little high pitched for him.
"Have you been well Kagome?"
The question surprised her but it made her feel happy nonetheless. "I've been alright, how are you doing Sesshomaru?"
