Winning You Back
Chapter 6
Midnight Sightings Under the Moon
Kagome looked up at the house, making sure she stood at the right one. 1239 Park Ave. She was here to visit Sesshomaru, the e-mail he sent her said to come here on the sixth. She reached into her pocket and flipped open her phone; making sure it was the right time and date.
It was.
She readjusted her purse over her shoulder and took a deep breath in. "I can do this."
She steadily started to make her way up to the front door, her feet gliding along the white cement. Her hands started to shake as she balled her hands into a fist, knocking on the front door.
No one answered.
But that didn't surprise her. The house was huge, it had to be at least three stories high, the basement included. The house, or mansion, was a light blue color with gorgeous landscaping surrounding it. Flowers lined the walkway, and the grass was a healthy, dark green color. Kagome could only gape in amazement at the sight. Inuyasha's family was rich, they owned their own company, and so this shouldn't have surprised her. It's not like this was the first time she's had been there.
It had just been so long.
She didn't know what she would say when someone came to the door. What if it wasn't Sesshomaru? What would she say? She shook the thoughts from her mind and turned to face the door. Sesshomaru stood there, staring off past her, even though it looked like he was staring right at her.
"Come in." His words came out monotone, as usual. His voice never had any life in it.
She nodded and walked in, Sesshomaru shutting the door behind her. The mansion looked the same as usual; pictures of Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and his family still lined the walls. They got new wooden flooring put it, and the walls were covered in blood red wallpaper. It seemed to make the place more life-less than it used to be. The warmth Kagome use to feel was now replaced with some dormant feeling she couldn't quite describe.
She continued to follow Sesshomaru through a horde of different types of rooms, each one giving off a different type of feel. Then he suddenly stopped in front of an open room, he motioned for her to go in first and take a seat. She complied and sauntered in, taking a seat on one of the leather chairs. She felt like she was in a therapist's room. Sesshomaru took a seat at the desk where he logged on his computer.
"Kagome, you know my idiot brother is dating another girl." He said it as f it was no big deal.
She cringed at his words. "Yes." She gulped. "Is that what you're here to talk to me about?"
He nodded in reply.
They sat in silence, the only noise being Sesshomaru roughly hitting the keys on his keyboard.
Kagome looked out the window, her eyes darting to the full moon that brightly shined down on the world below it. Its elegance was indescribable. She sighed warily, wishing she could just stare up at it all day, forgetting all of her worries.
"You ready for the truth?" Her mind came back to reality.
She nodded. "Why are you helping me?"
He cocked his head to the side, but his voice not changing a big by the mood in the room. "You have every right to know." He left it at that and presumed to turn the computer towards her so she could see what he was doing.
"Remember the day you left? How sad he was to see you go." Kagome tapped her fingers lightly on her leg to show that she was listening. "A week after that Kikyo came to visit, I can't say I know exactly what went on, but after that day she came over everyday since then."
She gasped, quickly putting her hands over her mouth to cover it up.
"He was cheating on you from the start."
Sesshomaru pointed to the computer screen. "Look here." His fingers stopped at an IM conversation between Inuyasha and Sango. "She knew about it and started asking him why he would do that to her. He had nothing to say."
She started to fiddle with her hair, an uneasy feeling started to fill the room. The worst was yet to come, and she could tell. There had to be a connection to all of this. But the clues weren't adding up in her mind. The only thing that came to her was that he cheated on her. There had to be more to the story than that.
There just had to be.
"I don't know what went on between him and Kikyo when they were here alone. But whatever happened is the cause to his actions. And not too long after that he started to hang out with Sango and Miroku. All of them ended up going to clubs every Friday night. You can imagine what happened from there."
"Is that all?"
"Yes." There was a little edge to his voice, like there was something he wasn't saying.
"Sesshomaru."
"What?"
"Who is he dating now?" She tightened her grip on the leather chair; her nails digging into its surface. This was the whole reason she was here. The little details in between she could handle. Those didn't matter. This is what she really wanted to know, whom he was dating. But, aren't the things you want to know the ones that end up hurting you the most in the end?
He coughed, as if clearing his throat.
"…Sango."
"What? Are you joking me?" She stood up, obviously in great shock.
"It's the truth. Can you handle it?"
She shook her head back and forth, the anger she kept hidden beneath her starting to rise up inside of her. Of all the people he could have dated, he had to date her best friend -- the one that has been through everything with her.
And the worst part?
She agreed to date him.
"That whore." She didn't even bother to get any more details. She had enough to go on, enough to her angry. No, pissed seemed to be a more appropriate word.
She mumbled quick thanks, grabbing her purse from the floor and pushing her way to the front door. Sesshomaru followed behind her, not saying a word.
Right as she opened the door to leave, Inuyasha stood in front of her, his arms wrapped around Sango in loving embrace. His laughter died down, and shock entered his features.
Whooa. It's been forever since I made an update. Haha. Sorry. Well, since it's summer again I should be finishing up my stories that I left up as cliffhangers, or untouched. Sorry for the long wait! I love you guys. : )
