Bound Endlessly

by FrenchFlutter

What do you do when you receive a birthday present you never thought in a million years would be possible? What if everything you fought so hard for, was all for nothing? What if you never really made a difference at all? Maybe, just maybe, it's all in how you look at it. Maybe, we are all just bound... bound endlessly to a thing called fate!

Chapter 39: It's been a while

---

Kagome hugged her friends goodbye and thanked them again for her gift, as the sun was starting to set. Lili was scared to leave Kagome alone with him, even after she assured her many times that she would be okay.

"I'll call you first thing in the morning to make sure you are still alive." Lili whispered in her ear hugging her tightly.

Kagome just laughed awkwardly. "Gee, thanks."

"She will remain unharmed." Sesshoumaru spoke, shocking everyone. Lili squeaked and hid behind Kati.

"We will call you in the morning. Good night." Kati said before leaving. Kagome closed the door after her friends. That was it, she was alone with Sesshoumaru. He stood motionless in the middle of her living room.

"It's been a while." she said, stupidly. She couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Indeed."

"Where to begin?" Kagome asked. She hadn't expected him to even answer her, but this was good. Conversations were good, right? "I'm Kagome, in case you don't remember."

His eyes narrowed, "I remember, miko."

Kagome smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Lord Sesshoumaru, no insult was meant."

This was going to be hard!
