Summer
The smell of flowers had become even stronger since she had lasted visited the flower shop. She smiled a sad smile as she walked inside the door of the flora shop that held flowers for many things that happen in people's lives. When you're sick or feeling down, to show a girl that you like her or to beg forgiveness from her, they are for dances and weddings even birthdays, thing that all celebrate life. But Kagome didn't come in for the lighter side of flowers she came for the saddest reason.
Death,
Today she was going to visit her grandparents and her parents who had passed on leaving her and her brother in the care of her grandpa. The man behind the desk was different from the other one who looked like he would rather be anywhere but there. He gave her an appraising look before giving her a small smile. She walked over to the man blushing a bit as she got a closer look at him.
"Uh hi I am here to pick up an order under Kagome." She said a bit shy as the man typed something into the computer.
"Alright I will be back in a moment with your order." He said in a soft voice that made her wonder if he talked to the flowers.
After a short wait he came back with her order made up of four flowers all of them were different but represented each them. He handed them over to her as she passed him the exact amount for them.
"Thank you." She said turning to leave.
"Have a beautiful day." He said looking more at the flowers.
She cleaned the gravesites and talked to each one before placing a single flower on their graves. Feeling a bit better she walked down the path and noticed long silver hair before the owner stood to show it was the man from the flower shop. As if sensing her gaze he turned around and looked at her.
"Oh I am sorry for your loss." She said just to break the silence.
"No need to be sorry, but you have lost many, tell me why you pick those flowers." He said walking over to her and leading her away from the graves.
He took her to a small café and both order something cold to drink to cool down from the summer sun.
"Before I tell you can I know your name?" She asked before taking a sip of her lemonade.
"Sesshomaru I am the owner of the shop." Kagome nodded as he took a drink of his ice tea.
"My parents died in a car crash and my grandma died of a broken heart. So my grandpa raised me and my brother. How about you? Who were you visiting?" She asked hoping she wasn't being to crass in asking him about the grave he was visiting.
For the longest time he looked out of the shops window before he finally spoke. "I was there visiting my mother she too died of a broken heart. You have seen that young clerk he is my half-brother and the reason my mother…" He seemed chocked up about speaking of her Kagome thought. "…Well tell me why you choose those flowers every summer?"
Kagome accepted the change in topic. "They each represent them the best and I can only afford to buy one of each a week. But for twelve weeks I can visit them regularly to leave them all flowers." She said with the slightest blush thinking he might think her strange.
After that Kagome managed to keep running into Sesshomaru and having a drink at the small café.
