InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Remember Me in the Stars ❯ Truth ( Chapter 10 )

Truth

Her hands trembled when she picked up the phone. She put the phone down. I-I can't do

this. I'm too scared! but...I have to know. Determined, Kagome picked up the phone again

and dialed Inuyasha number. Someone picked up and Kagome asked for Inuyasha. When he

picked up the phone, Kagome's hands shook even harder.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah, who is it?"

"It's me, Kagome."

"Oh...Kagome, hi. Why are you calling me?"

"Can we meet somewhere?"

"Yeah, I'm not doing anything right now."

"Ok, I'll meet you at the school gardens in half an hour."

"Ok, I'll be there. Bye."

"Bye."

He hung up and Kagome slowly put the phone down. Her heart ached, even though she wasn't

suppose to meet Inuyasha for half an hour. She wiped moisture from her eyes as she sped

through her chores. She needed to finish her chores before they meet. 25 minutes later

Kagome was in the car, driving to the school. Her hands fiddled with her shirt in her

nervousness. When the car stopped in front of the gates, Kagome stayed in her seat, unsure of

what she was doing.

"Kagome? Do you want me to wait for you here?"

"It's ok, Mr. Seyaiku, I don't know how long this is going to take. I'll walk home when I'm

done."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, don't worry."

Kagome slowly got out of the car and waved to the driver as he drove away. Taking a deep

breath Kagome walked to the gardens. She forgot to be more specific to where they were

going to meet, so when she didn't see Inuyasha in front of the gardens, she went down one of

the paths to look for him. Because of winter all the cherry blossoms were gone. But with the

snow draped on the trees, it looked like a winter wonderland. A grove of trees came in view

and Kagome could see someone there. Well, it's time to find out. She walked apprehensibly to

the grove when she froze in her tracks. There wasn't one person there, but two. And they

were locked in a passionate kiss. Inuyasha....and Kikyo.

She looked at the two in silence for a few more minutes and turned back. She took a random

path and came to a small clearing with a bench in it. She sat down and tried to breathe. She

couldn't think and she couldn't see. Tears ran down her face, turning into ice from the cold.

Her chest hurt and the pain wouldn't go away. It felt like a knife that drove straight through

her heart. Inuyasha and Kikyo. How could you, Inuyasha? How could you?!!!!!!

Sobbing quietly, she brought her knees to head and buried her face in her arms. After a while,

she began to feel numb and the sobbing stopped. But her heart still ached, it still screamed

with a pain that was new. An hour passed, then two. It got darker and darker and Kagome

waited. She waited for Inuyasha to find her. He said he would meet her. He never came. But

then, who cares anymore? She had been living a lie for weeks, and in one day the truth

slapped her in the face. She buried her face in her arms again and stayed like that for a while.

Then she heard someone walking down the path, jerking her head up she saw silver hair. And

golden eyes that pierced her soul. Sesshoumaru......

She turned her head away. Of all the people to catch her crying, it had to be Sesshoumaru.

More tears fell, what a way to end a day. He sat down next to her on the bench. The two

remained wordless. And to Kagome's surprise, it was Sesshoumaru who broke the silence.

"Why are you here? It's cold out, you should be inside."

Kagome sniffed.

"Why do you care?"

"Your lips are blue and your face is white. You are going to freeze if you stay any longer."

"I'm not cold."

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and took her hand. He hid his shock at how cold her hands

were. They felt like ice. How long had she been out here? And why is she so sad? Pulling her

down the path they came to the front of the gate where an expensive car was parked.

Sesshoumaru put her in the passenger seat and closed the door. Getting to the other side he

turned on the ignition and drove to an unknown destination. Kagome didn't say anything, she

just looked at her hands. When the car stopped, she looked up and saw a large mansion. It

was easily three times bigger than her aunt's house. It looked like a palace and was decorated

like one too. Sesshoumaru led her into the house and into what looked like a living room.

There was a roaring fire and he sat Kagome down in front of it, then left the room. A thousand

needles were pricking Kagome's skin. But in a few minutes, she felt the warmth wash over her.

When Sesshoumaru came back, he had a thick blanket in one hand and a mug of hot tea in the

other. He covered Kagome with the blanket and offered her the tea. She took it gratefully and

stared into the fire.

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Then why were you crying?"

"Because-because....why do you care?"

"I just want to know."

Kagome took a deep sigh. Might as well tell him, I don't think I care right now.

"I was going to meet Inuyasha in the gardens to talk to him about something. When I got

there I found Kikyo and him kissing. I waited for him to find me, he never came. I put my

trust in him."

Kagome could feel tears again and clenched her fists.

"How could he?" she whispered. "How could he?"

She put her hands to her face and began to sob again.

Sesshoumaru felt powerless, the torrent of tears coming from Kagome was bothering him. He

felt like he had to do something. But what? Then, he put an arm around Kagome and hugged

her to his chest. She buried her face into his chest and cried her heart out. Sesshoumaru

gently stroked her head and whispered words of comfort. Her sobs grew quieter and fewer

and she stopped crying altogether. Wiping her face with her hands, she gave a sigh.

"Thank you, for your comfort. Could you take me home, please?"

Sesshoumaru looked at the door as it closed. She had been quiet during the ride home. She

didn't comment on his embrace at all or the reason why he was at the park. That idiot of a

brother has done it again. Can he get any stupider? Sesshoumaru drove home with a lot of

things on his mind.

Kagome slowly walked to her room and sat on the bed. It overwhelmed her, everything about

today overwhelmed her. She walked to her window and opened it up. Looking up at the clear

sky, she could see thousands of stars. Staring at them for a while, she grew calm at the sight of

the familiar sky.

"Mama, where are you?"
