Chapter 1
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Why can’t I stop thinking about you?

“Yo Kagome!!!!” A brunette woman turned around slightly as she sat at the bar of the club she, her sister, and her friends were in for the night. Scanning the large crowd, she trained her eyes on the dance floor, trying to adjust them to the flashing lights that pierced the darkness. Hearing her name, she’d placed her drink down on the bar, and turned trying to find the source. She was greeted by a silver haired man who had a large grin plastered on his face. The dog ears attached to the top of his head were plastered to his skull, more than likely trying to block out the sound of the loud music.
“Hey ‘Yasha. You guys ready to go?” Kagome asked with a hopeful smile. Though she liked to have fun, loud and rowdy clubs just wasn’t her style. Although her sister, Kikyou, was the complete opposite of her, Kagome tagged along with her merely to prove that she was capable of having a good time.
“Keh… you wish…” Inuyasha yelled so that he could be heard over the music. He leaned over slightly so that he was close enough that he could be heard without having to yell. “I want you to meet somebody.”
Immediately, Kagome’s brown eyes narrowed. It just never failed. For months he and her sister has been trying to hook her up with different men after she broke up with her boyfriend Hojo, whom she’d been with for the past three years. She cringed at the thought of the last hook up she allowed her sister and her boyfriend to arrange in her newly single lifestyle.
As a demon of high standards, Koga was indeed a catch for any woman, whether she was a human, demon, or hanyou. She remembered how their date had gone smoothly, just like any other she’d had; Dinner, a movie, a nice little walk around the park. Yea, the perfect date. And it all came to a crashing halt when Koga immediately claimed Kagome as ‘his woman’ even if they’d only known each other for a couple of hours.
“No…” Kagome said immediately at the thought of another Koga wannabe.
“Ahhhh come on Kags.” Inuyasha said as he draped an arm around her shoulders. She merely turned around diverting her attention from her best friend. “Just one date… you’ll love the guy.” Kagome shook her head again.
“No thanks…. I’ll live my single life thank you.” She said slamming her now empty glass onto the counter. She turned and began heading to the dance floor in search of her sister, who was surely lost in the crowd of people moving to the steady beat of the music.
She turned back slightly to stare at Inuyasha, whose golden eyes stared at her in amusement. “Besides… you and Kikyou should be focused on your own love life.”
She turned and began walking again, only to run face first into the hard chest of a tall man. She felt herself begin to fall and closed her eyes bracing herself for the impact of the floor. When the pain didn’t come, she opened one eye and realized that someone had grabbed her and held her tightly against them, keeping her from falling.
“I’m…s…s… sorry…” she stuttered as she slowly backed away from him once she regained her footing. Now that she wasn’t glued to him, she was able to take a clear look at the man she’d run into. He was tall, lean, and muscular. His eyes reminded her of Inuyasha’s, but unlike her friend’s, through his molten gold orbs she could tell that this stranger had a depth to him only a few had the privilege to see. He’s ears were pointed at the tips, and she could make out the maroon strips on his wrists; Demon, and by the marks on him an upper class. His silver hair, which looked like pure spun silk, was tied neatly in a low ponytail, which ended at his lower back. He wore a solid white button down shirt, and a pair of black slacks which hugged his hips in just the right way.
Kagome felt a lump form in her throat as she stared at his god like beauty. Clearing her throat, she tried to form words, although her mind was slowly becoming disorganized. “I…uh…I…” she began.
“Good! I see the two of you’ve met!” Inuyasha called out as he approached the two of them. A smile spread across Inuyasha’s lips as he saw Kagome stare at the man with awe. “Kagome…meet my brother… Sesshoumaru Taisho.”
~*~
Kagome rubbed her eyes, trying to rid herself of the memory that just filler her mind. That scene had been nearly eight years ago, and if someone had told her then she’d fall madly in love with her best friend’s older, full demon brother, marry him, have his kid, then be on the verge of divorce, Kagome would have looked at them as if they were crazy.
But, that’s just exactly how things played out. When she first met Sesshoumaru that night at the club, she was taken aback. He was beautiful. No…more than beautiful… he was sexy. And not just normal guy sexy; he was male Adonis, you can do whatever you want to me sexy. And that was just one quality that attracted her to him. After their chance encounter, they had gotten close, and although at one point both of them thought it would be easier to remain friends, they both allowed themselves to fall to the temptation. Eventually, a year after meeting, they were married, and a year after their wedding, Rin came into their lives.
She was happy back then, and although things didn’t work out the way she’d hoped, she was still grateful to have her daughter and Sesshoumaru in her life, even if he no longer wanted to be in it.
With a sigh, Kagome tried to forget her train of thought. She missed him. Of course she would only admit that to herself but it was the truth. They’d been separated for nearly a year, and every day she thought about it.
She though about the love they shared. She thought about how he cared for their daughter. She was his little princess. She thought about the way he used to touch her and make love to her, doing everything he could to let her know he would always be there. But it all changed when he took over his father’s company and became CEO of Taisho Corp. She knew it would happen eventually, but if she had known it would have put a strain on their marriage she would have prepared herself better. She would have worked harder to remind him she was there for him. She would have done everything in her power to keep him instead of let him pull away.
But, that’s just how life is sometimes. Nothing ever goes the way you planned. Turning on her side, Kagome stared at the bedside clock, which read 7:30 am. She’d been lying in bed for nearly an hour already. The memory just wouldn’t let her sleep.
With great reluctance she got out of bed and made her way around her room, gathering her supplies for her daily morning ritual. With her toothbrush and towel in her hand, she slowly made her way into the bathroom. She still had an hour to kill before the little one would be waking up so she could take her time.
Staring at herself in the mirror, she ran a hand through her dark, midnight hair trying to get the knots and tangles out. She splashed water on her face, trying to clear her red eyes of the silent tears she had shed. After quickly brushing her teeth, she shed her pajamas and threw them to the floor. Stepping into the shower, she turned on the water and allowed the warm liquid to hit her body.
Within seconds the steam from the water filled the room. Hot showers were miracle workers. It was true. To her it was a miracle how such a simple thing could calm her nerves and relax her. If only they could wash away the memories. Well, maybe not wash them away completely: just enough so that she could move through at least one day without thinking of him.
**************************************************************
Sesshoumaru stared at the brunette woman who’d run into him. She was obviously human, even if her clumsiness hadn’t given it away; her smell was that of a human. But as a dog demon, he was surprised when he found the smell of the woman before him more pleasant than the other humans he’d encountered throughout his life. Staring at her through his golden orbs, a small smirk spread across his lips as he watched the woman become flustered by his appearance. Man did he love how he was able to do that to any woman.
“I…uh…I” the beautiful vixen began, but she was interrupted by the sudden appearance of his half brother, Inuyasha.
“Good! I see the two of you’ve met! Kagome…meet my brother… Sesshoumaru Taisho.” Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow as the woman gave him a polite smile. So this was the Kagome Higurashi who Inuyasha spoke so much about. He remembered how Inuyasha would always return home telling Sesshoumaru about his girlfriend’s newly single sister, Kagome. And though he had no time for dates, he had admitted that the description of the woman intrigued him. Inuyasha said that she was the shy and quiet type, but when really pushed she was a little hell cat waiting to be unwrapped.
“Hn.” Was the only sound Sesshoumaru voiced as he looked over the girl. She wore a black halter dress with black, stiletto heel, knee high boots. Her dark hair rested in layers over her shoulders, stopping at her mid back. Her brown eyes stood out in the contrast of her dark eye shadow. He was intrigued at how the plain dress hugged her in just the right places, giving her a coke bottle shape and leaving more to the imagination.
“There you guys are! I was looking everywhere for you.” Sesshoumaru tore his eyes from the vixen and stared at the woman who’d pushed her way off of the dance floor. Kikyou and Kagome did look alike, but Sesshoumaru was able to spot the difference immediately. It was all in the eyes. Unlike Kikyou, whose eyes seemed like two brown voids, Kagome’s eyes were full of passion and raw emotion. Sesshoumaru watched as Kikyou wrapped her slender arms around Inuyasha’s neck and placed a light kiss on his lips. Inuyasha smiled at her before turning back to Kagome and Sesshoumaru.
“Now… how about we get some drinks.” Inuyasha yelled over the music, which seemed to have been turned up to appease the jumping crowd behind them. The four of them made their way back to the bar ordered their drinks, and found a corner table that was unoccupied. Quickly taking their seats, a small conversation began among them.
“So Kagome.. are you having fun yet?” Kikyou asked as she took a sip of her drink. She gave her sister a smile, which was returned with a soft glare.
“Oh come on Kikyou…. You know this isn’t my sort of thing. I only came because you begged and the only way I could get you to shut the hell up was to agree.” Kagome mumbled.
“Oh admit it Kagome… Secretly I’m you favorite sister in the whole world.” Kagome shook her head with a laugh.
“You’re my only sister numb skull.” Kagome rolled her eyes and took a sip of her apple martini.
“Hey bro... you know dad has been trying to get in touch with you.” Inuyasha said as the girl finished their conversations. Sesshoumaru raised his own glass to his lips and took a long swallow of his drink before setting the glass onto the table.
“I know….” Was all he said before closing his eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose. The conversation between the four lasted another few minutes before a new song played over the speaker, causing Kikyou to jump to her feet and squeal with joy.
“I love this song!! Let’s go Inuyasha!!” Kikyou yelled with glee as she dragged her boyfriend to the dance floor. Kagome let out a laugh as Inuyasha gave her a pleading look as if to say ‘save me.’ Kagome merely shook her head and shrugged her shoulders as she watched her best friend and sister disappear into the crowd.
“You are much unlike your sister.” She heard Sesshoumaru say. His velvety voice washed over her and she turned to look at him. She gasped as she found his golden eyes staring at her intently. She lowered her own gaze, unable to stare at him or run the risk of drooling. Instead, she lowered her gaze to her glass, which she began to finger gently.
“I guess you could say that. I mean we are alike in some ways. We love hanging out with each other and we enjoy being around others. But even so, Kikyou has a completely different spirit about her. I mean she’s the outgoing one. She’s the one who takes every opportunity offered to her. And me.… ”Kagome closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She was the plain Jane of the family… the normal one. She was just Kagome Higurashi.
Sesshoumaru felt a sudden pull towards her. Without thinking he placed a hand across hers, which were clasped together tightly. The sudden action caused Kagome to look up and become lost in the golden eyes that stared down at her. Again, he surprised her by leaning forward to allow his voice to be heard even if it were a mere whisper.
“You are a beautiful goddess waiting to find your own path in life.”
~*~
Sesshoumaru was startled awake by the sudden ringing of his cell phone. He turned over in his bed slightly to stare at the bedside clock; it was 8:30 am. With a slight groan he sat up and swung his legs over the bed allowing his feet to touch the cool wooden floor. Reaching for his Blackberry, he took it out of its casing and stared at the screen. With another groan he fell backwards against the bed. The phone rang again, causing him to grip the contraption tightly as he reluctantly brought it to his ear.
“This better be important father.” Sesshoumaru mumbled as he pressed the talk button.
“Good morning to you too son. How are you?” His father’s deep voice rang in his ear.
“Please spare me the small talk. What is it that you need?” Sesshoumaru said with a sigh as he rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.
“I need you to come to the office. I must discuss something with you.” His father’s voice grew stern.
“And why can’t it be discussed as we speak.”
“I thought I taught you better than that my son. You never speak business over the phone. Even if it’s with your own blood.” Sesshoumaru mentally rolled his eyes at his father words. Of course he knew that. But he really didn’t feel like meeting with his father at the moment.
“And what exactly is this in regards to?”
“You’ll find out when you get here. See you in half an hour.” With that his father hung up the phone. With a slight growl Sesshoumaru threw his phone on the bed and sat up once again. With a sigh, he thought about his dream. It was the first time he met Kagome, and from the very beginning, he was attracted to her. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d taken a liking to a woman so quickly. In fact, he couldn’t remember because it was the first time it had ever happened.
He admitted to himself then that his attraction to Kagome was something more than just physical. Of course she was beautiful. As he told her, she was a goddess. He surprised himself when he blurted the truth out to her so suddenly. But he wasn’t accustomed to such raw beauty; the type of beauty that pulled even him, Sesshoumaru, the great Taiyoukai into its spell.
But he was attracted to more than just her looks. Though they had just met and barely knew each other, he was attracted to the person she was. That night when she was talking of Kikyou he knew she was loyal to those she loved, a trait hard to come by in an era where women were drawn to anything that guaranteed wealth, even if it meant betraying family.
Just thinking about Kagome filled him with a sense of longing. He didn’t know he’d fall in love with the girl. He didn’t want to, but after a while, he was tired of tempting fate. He loved the vixen with his entire being. And when she brought their daughter into the world, he didn’t think he could fall in love with her all over again, but he didn’t stop it when he did.
He missed her. He would never admit to anyone that he missed Kagome. But even now, as he lay across his bed, he wouldn’t deny the fact. They’d been separated for almost a year, and every day he thought about her at least once. It was to the point where he stayed long hours at the office just to give him something to do in order to take his mind off of his wife and daughter. But then again, it was work that caused him and his love to be separated.
He wanted that life style again. The life in which he went home to family instead of an empty flat. He wanted to be in the warm embrace of the only woman who’d ever taught him what true happiness meant. But unfortunately that part of his life had come to an end. Kagome didn’t love him anymore. He knew that. And he knew why.
With a final sigh he stood to his feet. There was no point in dwelling in the past. It was just a memory. And that’s what it would be forever. Besides… his father was waiting for him.
**************************************************************
Sesshoumaru stepped into Taisho Industries with a not too pleasant scowl on his face. As he walked down the marble halls of the building’s reception area, he sighed at the gawking faces everyone gave him while he passed. Dressed in a black Armani suite, how could everyone not stare? Pressing the button for the elevator, he waited until he heard the familiar ding of the bell and watched as the elevator doors opened. Stepping into the empty car, he pushed up the sleeve of his silk shirt to stare at the time on his gold Rolex. It was 9: 15am and he growled at the thought of his father waiting for him in his office, which he already knew he was.
Once the elevator reached the 15th and final floor, the doors opened revealing a floor with people running around, gathering supplies and the needed materials for the day.
“Good morning Sesshoumaru-sama.” One worker called as he flew past him with a hand full of papers in his hand. Sesshoumaru merely let out a ‘hn’ as he walked past the small crowd toward the desk of his secretary.
“Good morning Sesshoumaru-sama.” His secretary called out to him in a seductive voice. He stared at the woman before him with cold eyes. Her hair was pinned up into a messy bun being held up by two feather pins. Her red eyes stared at him as if he were a piece of meet just waiting for her to taste. She wore a tight red skirt that hugged her hips and showed off her curves with a white dress shirt, which was opened at the top displaying all her cleavage could offer.
“Kagura.” Sesshoumaru stated coldly. He glared at her as she stood to her feet and walked over to him, putting an extra sway in her hips as she walked.
“And how was your night.” She stopped directly in front of him and placed a slender finger onto his chest, running it gently down the tone muscles that she felt. Sesshoumaru’s eyes hardened as he continued to stare at her. “You know it could have been much better if you shared it with me.” She continued, her voice dripping sex. She wrapped her hand around his red tied and gently pulled, trying to bring his face closer to hers. Instead, Sesshoumaru quickly grabbed her wrist and held them away from him. Letting her go he sent a final glare at the woman.
“You already had your warning Kagura. Now get back to work.” Kagura gave her boss a small smirk before taking her seat at her desk.
“Inu no Taisho has been waiting for you.” She finally said, but Sesshoumaru was already in his office closing the door. Sesshoumaru placed his briefcase on his desk and stared at his father who was standing at the window, staring down at the view of the city. His silver hair was tied in a ponytail and his hand was firmly gripped around a glass of brandy.
“What is it you need father?” Sesshoumaru began, walking to the mini bar at the corner of his room to fill his own glass with liquor. Inu no Taisho turned his warm amber gaze to his son and gave him a small smile. Running a hand down his suit to smooth out the wrinkles, he placed his glass on the glass table top and walked over to his son’s desk.
“How are you Sesshoumaru?”
“I thought you were here about business…Not to find out the doings of your son.” He stated flatly as he took a seat in his leather chair behind his mahogany desk.
“Learning the happenings of my son is my business I think; especially if that son is going through some troubled times in his life.” Sesshoumaru gave his father another stern look before taking a sip of his brandy.
“I’m well…” Inu no Taisho shook his head.
“Good. I see the business is holding up fairly well in my absence.”
“You handed Taisho Industries into very capable hands when you retired father.” Sesshoumaru’s father smirked. Of course he would hand a billion dollar enterprise to a capable individual.
“Of course. But I had hoped that upon taking over this company you would not have allowed your personal life to fall to pieces.”
“I don’t believe that my personal life is any of your concern.”
“It is when I see my son unhappy.” Inu no Tiasho stared at his son who merely looked at him with distant eyes. “Have you talked to her?”
Sesshoumaru stood to his feet and walked towards the opposite end of the window in which his father stood.
“Of course I have. I speak to Rin nearly everyday.”
“But have you talked to her? I mean about the status of your relationship?” Sesshoumaru tightened his jaw.
“She didn’t listen to me a year ago so why would she bother now? She knew of the possibility of me taking over Taisho Industries. She knew of the possible consequences.” Sesshoumaru scolded. Inu no Taisho sent his own glare to his son.
“But I’m sure she wasn’t expecting you to give up your family for this company. Hell I wasn’t expecting you to do that!” The elder man said with a slight chuckle. He stepped to his son and placed a firm hand on his shoulder. “Sesshoumaru, Kagome is still your wife. And I know through all the stubbornness the both of you have, you both still love each other deeply. If you didn’t, you both wouldn’t have gotten as deeply involved as you both did. Besides, I want to see you happy again. Inuyasha shouldn’t be the only son I have living in bliss.”
Sesshoumaru cringed at the name of his half brother who was happily married and expecting a child. To make it even worse, the half breed was married to Kagome’s elder sister Kikyou. The sound of his intercom tore Sesshoumaru from his thoughts.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, you have a call on line one.” Kagura purred through the phone before it clicked off. Sesshoumaru heard his father, too, emitting a slight growl.
“And get rid of that woman. She’s one of the reasons you aren’t with your love now.” Sesshoumaru sighed and took a seat at his desk again. Unfortunately it was true. Kagura indeed was another reason on the list of reason’s why Kagome didn’t love him anymore. With the woman throwing herself at him and claiming to be with him at each opportunity, it was difficult to persuade Kagome otherwise. He sighed and picked up the call. Before Inu no Taisho left the large room, he called back to his son.
“And I would love to see my darling granddaughter again Sesshoumaru.” With that Inu no Taisho left the office and closed the door behind him. After finishing his phone call, he stared at the phone and dialed the number he had etched into his memory.
**************************************************************
“So….”
“…..”
“You hear from Sesshoumaru?”
“Not today.”
“Do you plan on calling him?”
“No.”
“And why not?”
With the final question, Kagome slammed her teacup on the kitchen counter and gave one of her best friends an evil glare. She and her friend Sango had been situated in the kitchen of her apartment for the day. Staring at the woman before her, Kagome let out a sigh at the recognition of humor that reflected in her friends brown eyes. Gripping her cup a little tighter, Kagome closed her eyes and let out a breath of air.
“Because Sango, he’s the one that calls practically everyday to talk to Rin.” Kagome lowered her head a little as she stared at the counter. “Besides, he’s made it clear he wants nothing more to do with me.”
Sango tossed her brown hair around her shoulder and lifted her own tea cup to her lips. After taking a sip, she gently placed it down and gave her friend a knowing smile.
“And why on earth would you think that Kagome?”
“Obviously it’s the truth. Every time we see each other we barely talk and when we do it always ends in an argument.” Kagome ran her fingers through her thick, black hair, and leaned onto the counter, placing her head into her hands. Sango reached over and placed a gentle hand on Kagome’s shoulder and gave her a smile.
“How is that possible when it’s obvious that the two of you are still madly in love? I mean… so what you get into arguments. I think the arguments are the both of you telling each other you still want to be together. The both of you are just too damn stubborn to admit anything. I see it in your eyes you still love him. And just because you’re separated doesn’t mean you won’t get back together.”
“It’s been nearly a year Sango. We’ve been separated for nearly a whole year. I think if we planned on getting back together it would have happened a long time ago.”
“So then why haven’t either of you filed for divorce yet?” Sango’s question struck a cord in Kagome. The girl in front of her was right. She was too afraid to do the task. She didn’t want to end it. Sure they had their problems…but it could’ve been worked out. Maybe she was holding on to hope. Kagome merely shook her head and stood straight up and turned around.
“Okay so what if I’m still hoping? So what if I’m still madly in love with the jerk? But even if I am… it doesn’t mean he feels the same.”
Sango’s smile never faded.
“Come to think of it… Miroku does say that he catches Sesshoumaru with these far off looks sometimes. He says it sometimes gets so bad that he has to leave early from the office. You know as his lawyer he’s practically with the man all day. He would definitely know.”
Kagome just gave her friend a weak smile.
“Sango that doesn’t mean anything. I know your husband is good at reading people and all but he can never be sure. For all he knows, Sesshoumaru could be thinking about…”
Before Kagome could finish her thought, her cell phone vibrated next to her on the counter. Flipping open the device, she stared at the name on the caller id, only to have her voice caught in her throat.
Speak of the devil.
Kagome let out the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She pressed the talk button and pressed the phone to her ear.
“Hello…” She whispered in a near choke. Why the heck was she so nervous talking to him?
“Good after noon Kagome.” His deep voice was thick and sultry. She missed it.
“Hi Sesshoumaru. How are you?”
On the other end of the line, Sesshoumaru gripped the phone tightly in his hand trying to suppress the urge to answer the way he truly wanted.
Missing you… Sesshoumaru swallowed the thought that nearly fell from his lips. Instead he gave her a simple answer.
“Fine.”
Kagome bit her bottom lip. Just hearing his voice everyday only made her miss him more.
“How are you?”
“Well I guess.” She whispered. They grew silent on the phone for a few seconds. In the small time frame, both could think of nothing except how much they missed the other. Unable to take the silence anymore, Kagome spoke.
“Sesshoumaru…”
“Yes?”
I love you she thought gripping the phone tightly.
“Would you like to speak to Rin?” Kagome looked up at Sango who gave her a sympathetic look. Sango could just tell what she wanted to say all along.
“There’s no need. I’ll be there in a while to pick her up. My father wishes to see her.” Sesshoumaru stated plainly. Kagome bit her lip again.
“Oh okay…. See you a little later then.” She whispered into the phone.
“Indeed.” Sesshoumaru mumbled back before they both hung up. Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and turned back to look at her friend.
“He’s coming to pick Rin up and take her to her grandfathers.” Kagome sounded defeated. Sango stood and wrapped her friend into a hug.
“Kagome…. He’ll come around. The both of you will.” She said before letting her go and grabbing her keys off the counter.
“Hey I have to go. Miroku is supposed to meet me at the house in a few. He’s planned a hot date for us tonight.”
Kagome gave Sango a small smile. She was glad to see her friend happily married with her other friend Miroku. Even if it did make her jealous. Even if it did make her wish she could have that happiness with Sesshoumaru again.
“Okay. I’ll give you a call later.” With that Sango left the apartment with Kagome closing the door behind her.
She took a few deep breaths at the door trying to compose herself. Even after a near year, just talking to him made her feelings rise again. Sure they were separated but that didn’t mean she stopped loving him. After managing to stop the tears that threatened to spill, Kagome wiped her face with the back of her hand and returned to the kitchen.
“RIN!!” she called so that her daughter could hear her in the back of the apartment. A few seconds later a young girl came bouncing into the kitchen. Kagome stared at her daughter with a smile. Her black hair was flowing behind her in waves, a few strands tucked behind her pointed ears. She wore a cute white dress, with yellow and orange flowers decorating it. Through her smile, Kagome could make out her small fangs. Although Rin’s eyes were a molten gold, Kagome could see the emotions of the child behind them.
She reminds me so much of him.
“Yes mamma…” Rin asked sweetly, giving her mother a toothy smile.
“Clean yourself up. Your dad will be here in a little to take you to grandpa Taisho’s.”
“Okay!” She said excitedly as she turned around and bounced back to her room. Staring at her daughter’s retreating back, a smile crossed her lips.
Rin was a half demon. Kagome could remember a time in the past were Sesshoumaru looked down on half demons, especially his younger brother Inuyasha, but as soon as he found out Kagome was pregnant, everything changed. The thought of having a half demon for a child became completely knew to him, and he accepted it with open arms. From the time Rin was born, Sesshoumaru cared for her and loved her unconditionally. It made Kagome love him even more.
Leaving her thoughts behind, Kagome began to straighten up the house and gather Rin’s clothes which she packed in her small backpack and placed by the door. A half an hour later, Kagome was torn from her thoughts again by the sound of her doorbell. With cautious steps, Kagome made her way to the door. Taking a deep breath, she reached for the doorknob and pulled it open, revealing her husband.
Sesshoumaru stared at her with intense eyes. Kagome gently tucked her bottom lip into her mouth, fighting the urge to run into his arms, kiss him, and tell him how much she loved him. She thought better of it. To do that would be futile; he didn’t feel the same way.
“Rin. Daddy’s here!!” Kagome called as she stepped aside and allowed Sesshoumaru to step into the apartment. She walked to the kitchen and Sesshoumaru gently shut the door behind him.
“Can I get you anything to drink?”
Sesshoumaru merely shook his head and declined, all the while keeping his eyes glued to her. He watched as she busied herself with cleaning an already clean counter top. God he loved when she was nervous. She always fidgeted around, and to him, it was the most adorable thing she did.
“PAPA!!!” Rin squealed as she dashed out of her bedroom and jumped into Sesshoumaru’s arms. “I’ve missed you.” She whispered as she snuggled into her father embrace.
“And I have missed you too little one.” He mumbled as he held the six year old closer to him. From the corner of his eye he could see Kagome staring at them, a small smile spread across her lips.
“Come…we should get going.” Sesshoumaru’s words seemed to snap Kagome out of her stupor.
“Well okay.” Kagome walked over to the two and placed a kiss on her daughter’s head. “Be good Rin and listen to your father.”
“Yes mommy.” Rin giggled. She stared at her parents, who were staring at each other intently. With a weak simile Kagome sent them on their way. As Rin allowed her father to buckle her up in the backseat o his car, the look her parents gave each other was stuck in her head. She could tell they loved each other. She could tell they needed each other. It sucked not having both of them in the house. She knew they wanted to get back together. They just needed a little help. Besides, all the other little boys and girls had there parents together and they were perfectly happy. It really, really, wasn’t fair. Yet, as she thought about her parents, a small smile spread across her lips. She would have her parents back together. Whatever it took…. They’d come together again.
