Love Letters- Chapter 3, Letter 3
Sesshomaru felt bad when he read Kagome's letter. He couldn't bring himself to tell her that he wasn't coming home soon on the phone. And now he had to do it in a letter. They had just gotten off the phone for the night and Sesshomaru was left alone with his thoughts. She had to know now. She was expecting him home in nearly three days. Sesshomaru sat down at his desk and began to write.
Kags,
I wouldn't miss the opening for the world. I really wouldn't. But things….came up and I think this 'silly little conference' will take a little longer than expected. My father will be leaving tomorrow, or when you read this, today. Anyway, I am to meet with the other board members later this week and into next week as well. I do promise that I will be home to you before the gallery opening. I adore you, my Kagome, and I implore you not to be angry with me. I hope you will keep my surprise for me as I keep mine for you. Maybe I will be on punishment after all. I'll make it up to you, I swear it.
All my love,
Sesshy
Sesshomaru sighed as he sent the letter off with Jaken. Kagome would not be happy with him. Sesshomaru sighed and started to get ready for a long day.
*Hours Later. Angelino Heights, California*
Kagome woke up feeling dreadful. She quickly ran to the bathroom. As she emptied the contents of her stomach; Jaken burst into the room, concerned.
"Lady Kagome, are you alright?"
"Jaken, I'm fine. It's just morning sickness." Kagome sighed, "Kadae said this would happen."
"Am I to tell Lord Sesshomaru about this?" Jaken asked, holding out the letter.
"No. I don't want him to know about any of this yet." Kagome said, taking the letter and opening it.
It was silent as Kagome read Sesshomaru's neat cursive writing.
"Damnit. Damnit. Damnit!" Kagome said, growing loud.
"I'll wait in the study for your reply, Lady Kagome."
Kagome stomped to the desk in the corner of her bedroom. She had to calm down before she wrote a reply. She was just so excited for him to come back early and now he wasn't going to be coming for at least another two weeks. He was going to miss the dinner that was being held for her art show success. Many important people were going to be there and she needed his support to make a good impression. And she missed him. There were no words to describe how much she missed him. Kagome put a hand on her abdomen; she had little reminders of him, of course. But she wanted him to be here with her. So they could experience this new life together. They had started a new life without realizing it.
How did Kagome know that something was wrong? Last night, when they talked on the phone, Sesshomaru sounded like he was afraid to tell her something. This is what he was hiding, he was hiding the fact that he wouldn't be coming home.
Kagome sighed and started to write.
Sesshomaru,
How did I know that something was up with you? I felt that you were disappointed and I heard it in your voice. I miss you darling, and I- well maybe I'll save your surprise. It ought to be better by then anyway. I've gotten my dress for the dinner and I'm getting my dress for the opening today. But I guess you'll see them when you can. Do tell your father Hi for me. Papa Inu deserves none of my bitterness. I love you Sessh and I hope you will return to me soon.
Love,
Kagome
Kagome handed the letter to Jaken on her way to the kitchen. She needed to get some food in her before she went shopping with Sango, Kikyo and Ayame later that day. They were shopping for dresses for the gallery opening. Kagome would probably be showing by then so a loose dress would be best.
Jaken left for the jet. Bringing this letter to Sesshomaru would be difficult considering he was not to tell him about Kagome's little secret.
*I know, short, but I'll write chapter four today and post it. Hope you liked it! R&R por favor! –Inu'sgurl97*
