~Melodic Memory
Chapter 19
Kagome and Sesshoumaru packed up all of their belongings the next morning. The 11
hour plane ride back would not be as wonderful as the 9 hour one to California. Fresh
coffee was waiting for Kagome when she moved to the kitchen with her bags in hand.
Sesshoumaru had walked over to the local coffee shop and ordered the same drinks from
the previous day. He smiled as he handed her a hot cup of steaming Chai. Kagome
sighed in contentment. The sky was still paled by the milky swirl of white and gray
clouds conversing at the edge of the mountains and the beginnings of the sea. Kagome
took one last look outside on the patio. Enjoying the sound of the surf crashing against
the nearby cliffs in the distance. The feel of the wind upon her face. It was all something
she wanted to keep in her memory. No one had ever brought her somewhere so beautiful,
so completely away from everything. As she listened to the breeze blow in the nearby
trees, she heard in her mind the music she awoke to yesterday morning. So wonderful
and melodic was the sound, so haunting and sorrowful, yet so beautiful. Awakening her
from her dream realm she was suddenly encased in warmth, a growing warmth that
seemed to embrace her whole self. She smiled, knowing it was Sesshoumaru behind her,
she watched as his hair danced and played with her own in the soft wind. He bent slightly
over her and pressed his silky lips to the shell of her ear.
"Time to go Kagome." He whispered.
Kagome closed her eyes and breathed in and out.
"Already huh?"
Sesshoumaru smiled and pulled her to face him, "I am afraid so."
She looked sad to be leaving, just like the time a week previous when she had to leave his
apartment. He felt pity for her feelings but happy in the sense that she didn't want to
leave....him. Or so he hoped that was it. Of course it was, he reasoned.
Kagome moved back into the kitchen, before she walked away she gently caressed
Sesshoumaru's cheek with her hand, softly. Sesshoumaru packed everything into the car.
He looked towards the window sill in the kitchen and noticed she forgot to pack her tea
pot he had bought her. Suddenly jolted from this realization Kagome was next to him
with her hand on his shoulder. She gave it a soft squeeze.
"Kagome, aren't you forgetting something?" He asked.
Kagome looked directly at the teapot. A small blush began to run across her features.
"No. It looks wonderful in the window sill don't you think?"
Sesshoumaru merely looked at her in slight confusion.
"Perhaps...I would like to see it....th...the next...next time I am here."
Sesshoumaru's face rose into a wondrous smile. Kagome slowly turned towards him to
look in to his loving eyes. She smiled reassuringly at him. He pulled her in front of him,
he embraced her tightly and pulled away to see her shining face again.
"As you wish Kagome."
"So what now Inuyasha?"
Miroku asked as he finished brewing another pot of tea.
"I don't know Miroku, but I do know one thing. I have to get away for awhile. I think it's
finally time I got out on my own...I'm tired of my brother, Kikyou, hell even my father
telling me that I'm just a rash immature boy."
"Mmmhmm."
"Even though he's gone I hear my fathers voice in my head, demanding to know why I am
not as mature and well mannered as Sesshoumaru, always telling me that he had high
aspirations for me...I'm tired of attempting to live for everyone else. I came to a strong
conclusion this morning...thanks to Kagome, that I don't have to be something people
expect me to be, that I can be accepted no matter what. But...in order to maintain
something like that I gotta make sure that I give the respect that is due to the people who
give me such care and friendship..."
CRASH!
"Miroku?!"
Miroku popped up from the kitchen counter top with wide eyes.
"Sorry Inuyasha, I was startled just a second ago, I could have sworn I heard someone
speaking in such eloquent intelligence, and I could have sworn it sounded as if it was
coming from..."
"Alright already, shut up will yah Miroku!"
"Sorry Inuyasha, but I am not use to such displays from your person."
"Yeah well neither am I, but nonetheless I am going to move ahead."
"So...when you say you need to get away, where shall this 'away' be?"
"I don't really know, I was thinking maybe back to New York for a little while. Maybe a
year or two. I would like to know my English better then I do. Maybe as good as
Kagome and yourself. It was something you both excelled in."
"That sounds like a splendid idea!"
"Yeah...(laughs) it really does, I like New York, it's fast paced and I can go to school
there. Its time I showed Sesshoumaru exactly what I'm made of."
"No Inuyasha, it's time you showed yourself."
The plane ride back was entertaining to say the least. Kagome could now consider
herself a member of the mile high club. She was excited about it, especially when
thinking back about what being a member of the mile high club consisted of. A brief
blush ran across her face at the thought. The entire weekend seemed to be something
straight out of a movie or some fan-fiction to her favorite show she loved. She was
beyond happy. But now that it was late in the evening. Her goodbyes to Sesshoumaru
had been cut short by the every moment destroying cell phone. Kagome laughed out
loud. That cell phone sure caused a lot problems for her and Sesshoumaru.
Kagome was now in her home. Which felt lonely and dreary as always. She didn't feel
like being alone. Sesshoumaru promised he would call her tomorrow after his meeting.
He seemed depressed to let her go. Kagome quickly decided to open the windows to her
home and let in the cool summer breeze. It was late in August, soon it would be fall. Her
favorite time of year, all the grand festivals through-out Japan, would be fun and exciting.
And to be able to share them all with him. She laughed at herself for being so expectant
of his supposed accompaniment to these festivals.
"I cannot guarantee Sesshoumaru would even enjoy such things?"
She still had hopes though.
"Well, perhaps it's time I cleaned this house up.
Kagome turned her computer on to play some music. She decided to start cleaning her
kitchen first. It was in desperate need of a good scrubbing and dusting, along with the
rest of the house. As she set to work the phone rang.
"Moushi moushi?"
"Kags! It's me Sango!"
"Sango!"
"Young lady where have you been, and when are you going to invite me over to tell me
all the juicy gossip, inquiring minds wanna know?!"
"Sango (laughing) your so funny sometimes! Why don't you come over right now and I
will tell you everything...on one condition."
"Sure what?'
"You help me clean my house!"
"Oh I see, persuasion, your getting as bad as Miroku!"
"Hahah, maybe so, I have so much to tell you, can you come over now?"
"I'll be over in 10 minutes."
"Okay see yah then!"
"Ja ne."
Kagome walked over to her computer, she changed play lists to more upbeat dance music,
it always put her in the mood to clean. As she changed play lists she noticed her blinking
icon announcing email. She rolled her eyes, assuming it might be Inuyasha. When she
opened it, she was relieved to see that it was only her work. As she read the email she
was surprised to find out that she indeed was granted with another designer hired by her
boss to help her out. Her new assistant was a man. And his name was Ookami Kouga.
She found the name to be slightly funny in the meaning. She brushed it off with a
chuckle. Her boss wanted to set up a meeting for next week on Thursday in Osaka for
them both to meet and possibly start collaborating on a new site for information regarding
a new line of clothing. Kagome was excited that her workload would be less and that she
would have more time for other things she was working on. She loved her job, but being
the only graphic designer and web designer for a clothing line could sometimes become
overwhelming. Sure she held her own well, but it was starting to take its toll. She
seemed to be wanting to move on, possibly get out. She was tired of working from a
computer screen at home. Kagome heard a familiar knocking.
"Kombanwa Kagome!"
"Sango!"
Hours Later...
Sango wiped the sweat from her brow.
"My my Kagome, you sure let this place go this past week didn't you, normally your so
good about dust, and your plants...poor things, I had to throw two away."
"Oh...I know I know."
"But....of course after all you told me, its a just reason I think (giggle)."
"Sango, please, really now, your acting as if we are teenagers again."
"Look I haven't seen you this happy in a really long time, and to think it's only been a
week. How great is that?"
Kagome flopped upon the floor beside her coffee table and sighed. Sango removed her
handkerchief from her hair and sat in the chair directly across from Kagome.
"Kagome, whats the matter?'
"Well...you see, thats just what I'm afraid of."
"Of what?"
"Of it being so quick, this isn't normal, this isn't something that usually happens to me."
"Kagome let's be serious here, first off, this is only the third time you've really dated
someone, and this isn't just anyone Kags, this is Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's brother. Very
strange indeed, but all the more exciting. No relationship is the same nor will it start off
the same. And second, your an adult now, things might move faster then when you were a
teenager."
"I know, it's just I'm afraid Sango...I seem to be falling for Sesshoumaru."
"Well just let fate walk you through,.if it was meant to be things will take their course, I
wouldn't worry so much about it Kagome."
"I just don't want to get hurt anymore."
Sango laughed. "Wow, I think that lecher is finally getting to me."
"Nani?"
"What I mean is...what I am about to say might seem harsh and in no way can I speak as
well as Miroku can sometimes, but Kagome, getting into a relationship and desiring to
move further is having the willingness to give yourself freely, to be able to trust again, yes
it comes with the risk of being hurt, maybe numerous times. But thats what we all must
do in order to give our trust out freely. I know Inuyasha hurt you beyond compare, but I
do not see Sesshoumaru doing such things, and I honestly think you have learned your
lesson in what you want and don't want in a relationship Kags. All you have to remember
is to be honest with yourself."
Kagome released a breath she didn't think she had been holding.
"As harsh as you think that may have sounded,it wasn't, and that was exactly what I
needed to hear Sango!"
"Well thank you Kagome, and also remember that I'm here for you and that I love you."
Kagome rushed into Sango embracing her to the floor.
"Whoa!" Sango cried out.
"Even when Inuyasha was a jerk, you always made me feel better."
"Hey uhh Kagome, speaking of Inuyasha, you never told me what happened after we
left?"
Kagome released Sango and looked up at her.
"Oh Kami, I totally forgot!"
Sesshoumaru was finished with his phone calls. Readjusting to his cold and lonely home
was unexpectedly. Difficult.. He missed her, desperately. He wanted her here with him.
She always seemed to brighten a room with her warmth. She was the sweetest creature,
her beautiful blue eyes that sparkled like a thousand stars, her soft skin that caused
shivers upon his own when she touched him, her very evident innocence that she
maintained even during their sexual escapades, making love to her was amazing, no
words caressed the memory as well as the imagery and feeling he got when thinking
about it, her laughter and voice that brought joy and cheer to anyone listening to it, she
truly was an angel in every meaning of the word in his mind, he indeed missed her, very
much. Something he never expected was happening to him, he was falling for her.
Possibly he corrected himself, was this too fast? Of course it was! It was ridiculous, and
no matter how many times he tried to justify the reasons as to why it was happening too
fast, and why it just didn't logically seem normal or right, his other half dismissed it
immediately, or rather persuaded him with thoughts and memories of her.
"Chuso!" Sesshoumaru shouted. He slammed his fist into the soft bed. The bed they
shared. The bed they slept peacefully in. That was the moment he reminded himself, that
they hadn't done anything in this bed. He smirked. That would change soon. Once again
he swore at his other half for creating such distractions within him.
Eventually he fell to sleep. Thinking could sometimes be...exhausting.
"So you left the club in Sesshoumaru's car and took him home and he was a 'willing'
partner in this, helping his brother?!"
"Mmmm."
"You do realize that he did that for you and not for Inuyasha?"
Kagome shifted on the floor, she looked down at her steaming cup of tea.
"I'd like to think he did do it for Inuyasha and not just for me."
"Hmmm, it's a possibility."
"Well Kagome, it's late and I must be on my way, I have a early class tomorrow."
"But I thought you were teaching in the afternoons?'
"Well normally I do, but lately Miroku and I have been attending this philosophy class
together."
"Philosophy? That explains tonight."
"Yes I know, sounds strange but it really is interesting, and besides, it's something he
enjoys that isn't lecherous."
(Laughing) "Okay Sango, call me tomorrow okay!"
"Okay, Ja ne Kagome!"
"Ja ne!"
Kagome gathered the mugs and placed them in the sink and washed them. Drying her
hands on the dish towel she turned all the lights out. After washing herself she climbed
into bed.
"Why does it feel so lonesome and cold...without him?" She thought.
"Baka!" She shouted.
She couldn't seem to give any logical reason to as to why this felt so right, but something
inside her said moving so fast might have been a mistake. Was she doubting him?Of
course when thoughts of him surfaced all she could think of was his warm glowing amber
colored eyes, the feel of his silky smooth silver locks, his supple and very delicious lips,
his very sensual and sexy voice, the way his hands felt roaming her body. Kagome
shivered in remembrance. Perhaps she was only doubting herself? Suddenly Sango's
words echoed in her mind.
"...getting into a relationship and desiring to move further is having the willingness to
give yourself freely, to be able to trust again, yes it comes with the risk of being hurt,
maybe numerous times. But thats what we all must do in order to give our trust out
freely..."
"...All you have to remember is to be honest with yourself..."
Kagome sighed, sleeping was not getting any easier.
