Memory

Chapter 8


Kagome made it through her lunch all right. Her boss was hasseling her about new changes to the site. He wanted more flash and animation, more bells and whistles, literally. She needed a damn team of Web designers for what he was asking. She was growing weary of his constant changes, didn't anyone go for the "less is more" theory. She was finally able to convince him to tone the excentric ideals down to a minimum. Now she could actually work in peace without an entire crew. But she didn't forget to ask him if he could possibly hire on someone to keep up with the maitenance while she worked on other projects.
lunch Kagome went shopping with Sango. Sango needed a new pair of boots for a party that her and Miroku were going to this weekend, she was very excited but dissapointed Kagome was not going. Kagome was more astonished at the fact that Sango would want to party two weekends in a row. Although if she did remember correctly Sango and Miroku did not roll that night, they merely drank.
on Kags, when you gonna live alittle, I mean, now that you have Sesshomaru, why not bring him along." Sango asked as she browsed the boots in the small boutique shop.
off, I do not have Sesshomaru, second I think Sesshomaru wanted me to go with him to his friend Kagura's new club, it's opening this weekend." She offered timidly.
a minute, you mean the Kagura, as in the new 'Winds of Change' club opening this Saturday night?!" She asked in excitement.
how did you know?" Kagome asked.
everyone know's about this club opening. It's suppose to be really nice." Sango explained. "Inuyasha asked Miroku and I to come but I didn't want to see that nasty Kikyou so I decided against it."
kinda forgot that Inuyasha and Kikyou were going to be there, shit, maybe I shouldn't go either." Kagome thought out loud.
than come with us, we'd love to have you party with us instead, you can bring 'ol Sesshy along too." Sango said smirking with the mention of him .
don't know, I would have to ask him if that would be alright, maybe he can meet up with us later or something." Kagome explained. "Wait a minute, what the hell Sango, he's not my boyfriend or anything!"
well, might as well be, oh by the way, your email was rather dry and lacked the explosive juicy details I am so prone to getting from you, so whats up, what really occured over the weekend, I mean I know you weren't at your house the entire time?" She said rather pryingly.
Sango, your too much, it seems you have your own business to tend to, so stay out of mine, and besides, their's nothing to tell." Kagome said in retort.
arched in eyebrow at Kagome giving her that yeah-right-look. She eyed a pair of black knee high boots and dove into the boxes to find her size. Kagome was looking over a cute pair of mary janes when her phone rang.
is Kagome."
sexy, nice to hear your voice, sounds like your actually awake to take my call." He said arrogantly.
the hell do you want Inuyasha?" Kagome steamed into the phone.
looked up from her boots and gave Kagome a strange stare.
is that any way to speak to an old friend young lady?" Inuyasha said in his most melodramatic voice.
the crap, what do you want, and it better be good or else I'm hanging up?!" Kagome said, the anger boiling over as she attempted to keep her cool.
down sweety, don't get your panties in a bunch. I merely called because I wanted to know if you were coming on Saturday night with Fluff boy?" Inuyasha asked, the revulsion of his brother apparent in his voice.
I really haven't decided yet, what's it to you anyway?" Kagome asked curtly.
only wanted to know, I would love to see you, it's been so long." He said slyly.
you call me just to patronize me Inuyasha, or do you have a fucking point?!" Kagome asked slightly raising her voice in irritation with this rapidly-going-no-where-conversation.
don't act like a brat, I only wanted to know why the fuck you have decided to suddenly shack up with my BROTHER of all people!!" He asked, revealing the truth behind his anger.
I don't have to explain shit to you, you decided who you wanted in your life and you have her, I have my own life to live, and who said I'm dating or doing anything with your brother, it's none of your business anyway." Kagome fumed into the phone.
fine Kags, I understand, couldn't have me, so you took the next best thing eh?" He said, knowing exactly what to say to really piss her off.
Kagome remembered what Sesshomaru had said the day before, regarding what Inuyasha might do. She breathed in as Sango looked on with wide eyes, dying to know what was being said.
could literally see the devious smile Inuyasha probably had plastered on his face from his last comment, probably the same as the one he had when he said what he did to Sesshomaru the other morning. She realized that getting more upset would only cause him to win, and so she decided to play it cool and kill Inuyasha's hopes of serious retaliation. Inuyasha was obviously jealous and upset over the whole situation, but she wasn't going to let him serve a low blow without serving him up some wit on a platter.
I can say Inuyasha is that if I do decide to go saturday night, the club is very large, so I've heard, I'm sure with Kikyou and all the other women throwing themselves at your feet you'll have enough groveling to puff up those peacock feathers of yours nicely, and I will be on the other side of the club, minding my own business, not caring about the world that Inuyasha has created within and for his arrogant self. So enjoy your night of pleasurable debauchery, just leave me out of it. We are no longer friends, nor anything else, so please, lose my number, because if anyone is upset here, it's most definitly YOU." She said confidently and calmy, and before he could even get in a word, she clicked the phone off.
my God Kagome, I've never heard you stand up to Inuyasha like that...I'm....I'm so freaking HAPPY!!!" Sango yelped as she hugged Kagome tightly.
froze and brushed Sango off, she then sat down next to Sango as Sango placed the boots back in the box to purchase them. She was thinking about what just had happened.
know Sango...your right, I just realized how much power I truly let him have over me, and finally, some how, I feel...free. Weird eh?" She said as she looked down at the floor.
don't think it's wierd Kags, just nice that you finally see it, I mean, you were really in love with Inuyasha, but he obviously couldn't see it. And now that his brother is interested in you, he suddenly notices you. It's kind of like that saying, 'you don't realize what you have till it's gone'. I think that's his problem, tough shit for him eh?" Sango laughed reassuringly at Kagome and nudged her.
nodded and smiled. She felt slightly sad that Inuyasha couldn't notice her before, there was a time long ago when she would have done anything for Inuyasha's love, but now she felt more hatred for him than anything else. He always took advantage of her and never gave her what she truly wanted. Now that she looked back, she felt quite happy with what she had just done. She felt good and she laughed out loud in spite of herself.
I probably really pissed him off!" She laughed.
than you know Kagome!" Sango chuckled. "Now let's go pay for these boots and make our way to the clothing stores."
but wait, I'm splurging, I want those mary janes, their too cute to pass up." Kagome said with a delightful smile. She felt like a large weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She felt good and why couldn't she indulge in a little shopping...spree?


had been busy all day giving a tour of the new building to a group of investors. His company always liked him to give the tours, they told him his presence was well respected and commanding, people listened to him intently. And they did. He was well educated and was easily able to explain the concepts of the business and the goals of the company to potential investors. They were always sold on his explanations. Though he was becoming weary of the whole thing, he felt it beneath him to have to become what he considered sale's men work. After a day of answering inane questions he was relieved to finally be in his office, alone. Suddenly the telephone rang.
suppose here I will never get a moment's peace." Sesshomaru said aloud.
answered the phone, by way of speaker phone, " Yes?" He asked.
hello Sir, it is I Jaken. I was wondering how the meeting with the investors went?" Jaken asked timidly. He seemed nervous and slightly agitated.
it went well, is there a real reason why you called me?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.
yes Sir, I wondered when you wanted to meet the new hires?" He asked.
yes, I had forgotten about that. Well I have already interviewed them...have they been sent their benefits packages, and orientation dates?"
sir they have."
than as soon as the furniture is moved into their new offices...which will be..(he looked in his date book), Friday, than they can come to work, Friday will be their first day of work."
sir. Thank you." Jaken said sighing.
there anything else Jaken?"
sir, that is all."
than I will be leaving for the day."
evening to you Sir, I will see you in tomorrow's meeting."
clicked the phone off and gathered his belongings and walked out of his office and to his car. On the drive home he played some music and his thoughts swayed to Kagome. She had been on his mind most of the day, he wondered what she might be doing. Who she might be with. He couldn't wait for Wednesday to come. As he casually drove down the road he heard his cell phone ring, the wonderful tune she had put on his phone. Without thinking to look he answered it.
is Sesshomaru." He said slightly elevated and happily, thinking it was her.
Sesshy, she's really done something to yah, hasn't she, you've become a regualer lap dog for her huh?" Inuyasha stated.
breathed in, than released.
brother please refrain from calling me Sesshy, and you better have a good explanation for calling me, I did request that you not speak to me until Saturday didn't I?!" Sesshomaru said trying to remain calm, even though deep inside he wanted to drive over to Inuyasha's apartment and rip him to shreds.
you both need to calm down."
Did you call Kagome?"
I did, what's it to you, don't tell me your already an item?"
I mean, I don't know, Inuyasha, it's none of your business."
I say it is, cuz see, she use to be my girl and now all of a sudden, just a few months later she's sleeping with my brother!!" He yelled into the phone.
Inuyasha, that's just the point, she was , and now she isn't. It's obvious you still have feelings for her little brother or you wouldn't be getting so upset over it?."
I am not, because after speaking to her and now you I have come to realize she's just some cheap whore, making her way up the food chain. So how was she Sess? Did she scream your name...or mine?"
nearly lost control of his vehicle. He was extremely mad at Inuyasha now. He wasn't sure what to do next. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles went pale.
Sesshy are you there?" Inuyasha taunted.
to hell Inuyasha!!!" Sesshomaru yelled into the phone and hung up.
slammed his hand unto the steering wheel. "Damn him, he's such an arrogant bastard!" He thought. He drove into his parking garage and walked up into his apartment. After he ate some dinner he lounged lazily in his bedroom working on manifests and job functionalities for his new employees on his laptop. He rarely brought his laptop home but he had nothing else to do so he decided to work on something. His cell phone rang again that familiar tune and he checked who it was. His eyes just about popped out of his head, it was Kagome. He breathed in and sighed, trying to relieve his sudden reaction of excitement.
how are you?"
Sess, I am well, how are you?"
be better if you were here...with me."
your so sweet, you tease me so."
not teasing, I'm attempting to seduce you into coming over." he chuckled lightly.
sighed into the phone. Sesshomaru became suddenly concerned.
the matter Kagome?" He asked considerately.
spoke with Inuyasha today."
did I, I must say I think he got the best of me today."
Sess, I am so sorry."
as sorry as he's going to be if he says anything Saturday night, I swear he is enjoying this far too much."
agree, although after what I said to him I highly doubt he'll be saying anything to me."
became quite interested," Do tell..."
I basically told him off and said he was jealous." She said happily. "I think it's the first time I have ever had the last word, I actually stood up to him, and than before he could say anything I hung up on him, and now I have his number blocked."
wonderful Kagome, I am so proud of you, I wish I could have done that myself." He said solemnly.
Sess, all it took was remembering what you said to me the night before, about not letting him get the best of us, and it made me strong enough to fight back!"
I know why he was so aggravated, he had already spoken to you, and couldn't get you upset so he decided to call me."
again I am sorry."
apologise for his behavior, one of these days he'll get what's coming to him."
see I was thinking about that, and it's mainly the reason I called. Sesshomaru, are you sure you want me to come with you Saturday night, I mean, it could cause something serious to happen, Inuyasha is stubborn, and very unpredictable?" She asked hesitantly.
I still want you to come with me. Kagome, he will not cause any situation, if he does Kagura will have him thrown from her club immediately, and I don't think Inuyasha want's to ruin his connections with Kagura, besides, we won't stay long, I don't really want to go, I just want to make an "appearance" and leave, can you do that with me?" He asked sweetly.
sounds wonderful, you know, I really didn't want to go either, but if we are only staying for a short time, I believe I can do that." She replied.
I guess it's settled than, we'll be making a so called appearance, than leaving, how about back to my place?" he asked mischeiviously.
laughed lightly, "Alright Sess, but I'm making no promises that I won't end up falling asleep in that wonderfully comfortable bed of yours." She said flirtaciously.
by all means...stay." Sesshomaru said.
felt a sting of longing in his voice. It sent a chill through her, she wanted to ask him what he was feeling, if he needed her at that very moment, she would have driven over immediately. But she thought he would think her daft probably.
mi...I can't wait to see you on Wed." She hesitantly said, fumbleing her words.
was sure he knew what she was going to say but didn't and before he could stop himself he said it instead, " Kagome...I miss you."
was a long pause on the other line. Then he heard her sigh.
miss you too...is that crazy, to miss someone so...soon?" She asked shyly.
least I hope not." He replied.
I better get to sleep Sess, I will see you on Wednesday okay? Oh, and Sess...please...call me tomorrow okay?"
worry, I will"


tight, sweet dreams."
you. You too!"
with that she clicked off her phone. He felt suddenly more lonely than he had before he spoke to her. He missed her badly, he had never desired a woman so much before. He was restless and emotional, he didn't know why, but he felt like crying. He thought he might be going mad. He felt vulnerable and distant. He looked over at the clock. It read 10 pm, he decided to try and fall asleep to the sounds of Thievery Corporation in the backround, once again snuggling up to Kagome's pink top. Just before the first song ended he heard a knock on his door. He opened one eye and waited for another knock in case he was just hearing things. The door really was being knocked on.
rose up and opened the door. It was Rin. She was wearing a pair of blue velvet sweat pants and a matching velvet sweater top, her hair was sweeped into a massive pony tail with little tendrils of hair clinging to her sweaty face. She had a towel in one hand and a water bottle in the other. She had obviously just finished working out at the gym.
Pops, what's up?" She said cutely, as she brushed by him and flopped onto the couch.
it's midnight, what the hell are you doing out so late?" He asked.
always acting like a true father, I think I am old enough to go work out aren't I?" She asked lazily slinging one leg over the couch end.
moved her leg back into a more proper position and sat next to her. He rubbed his eyes and looked over at her. He watched as she wiped the sweat from her face and chugged down some of her water.
thought I would come by and see how you were, I haven't seen you for a whole week?" She asked slightly concerned.
you decided to come over at the stroke of midnight?" He asked sarcastically.
late than never." She said as she jumped up to grab another towel from the hall closet.
watched her move around his apartment like it was her own home. He had purchased a very nice apartment for herself near by the college she was attending. But Rin still loved to come over and make herself at home at his place. She was wiping her face again when she looked into Sesshomaru's room and started to whistle.
been sleeping in your bed?!" She asked tauntingly. Suddenly she came running back into the room holding Kagome's pink camisole.
jumped and snatched it from her clutches.
is none of your business young lady!" He snapped as his face flushed red.
come on, tell me who she is, is she pretty, well of course she is, have I seen her, do I get to meet her, well, the real question here is, is she nice?" Rin asked, bombarding him.
sighed and sunk back into the couch. Rin plopped back down next to him. Her eyes were big and she was jutting her lower lip out at him in a pout.
Pop's, I just want to know who's keeping you from me?" She asked in her most innocent voice.
couldn't resist her and Rin knew it. He sighed again and folded the top neatly in his lap.
are a few things I need to tell you, things your going to be shocked about, things you may get mad at me about, but please, be easy on this weary man, for he is most certainly...unstable."
cocked her head, she was in serious need of a slap in the face. She had never seen Sesshomaru act so compliant with her, nor express such emotion. Normally he would give her some dry answer, leaving her with unanswered questions. He looked as if he may cry, or bust out laughing at any moment. She reached over and placed the back of her hand to his forehead.
Pop's feeling all right?" She asked with a worried gaze.
pulled her hand down and patted it gently.
this Sesshomaru is feeling much better, but let me explain some things first, then afterward you can ask me if I am alright."
knew something was up, her eyes were glued to him. She knew she was in for a serious talk. She was relieved that for once it wasn't about her.


Okay lemme know what you think. The next installment will be up soon, I promise.
