I breathed deeply and finally started “Kagura, there is so much I want to say…”

 

“Don't waste your breath you bastard! Do you really expect me to stand here and listen to you after what you've done to me! Well this will only happen in your dreams.”

 

Kagura then breathed deeply and continued “You know what, fuck you Sesshomarou. I got over you eight years ago and I sure as hell don't want you back in my life!” she then stopped to take her breath once more. I remembered she used to breathe hard every time she felt like crying. Kagura then started to stomp her right foot, it appeared she had not lost this habit either.

 

“Kagura, I know I hurt you in the past. But just listen to me I…” she then once again cut me.

 

“You have got to be kidding me! Are you really going to stand here and try to apologize and justify yourself?! You are the worse kind of bastard ever!”

 

After stating this, Kagura then walked away no doubt to get to her car. But all of a sudden she turned around and walked up to me. The wind sorceress then raised her hand and cupped my cheek, caressing my stripes with her thumb just like she used to. I could see all the unvoiced sadness and sorrow I caused her flashing in her beautiful crimson eyes.

 

I opened my mouth to say something I did not know what to say, but I wanted to make her feel better. Before I had time to utter a single word, Kagura's right hand left my cheek but to return in a completely different way. She slapped me with all her strength before saying “leave me alone from now on you bastard!”

 

She then stomped off. Knowing her she needed to time to cool off, and I could do that. I could leave her time, but not too much. After all I did wait eight years. But I knew I could wait some more, since I was now sure that she still loved me. I could tell by the look in her eyes, the way she touched me. I knew it, after all we did swear `Now and forever'.

I was lying on my bed alone in my big apartment. I remember when I bought the place after my divorce three years ago. Stupid real estate agent was blabbering about how wonderful the place would be to raise a family. She was so annoying, that it took all my self control not to chop her head off with my poison whip. As if this Sesshomarou looked like a family man. She had to be kidding me.

 

During the three years of our marriage, the idea of starting a family with my ex wife never even crossed my mind. The only woman that could ever be worthy of bearing my children would be Kagura. Once again thinking about her, this wind witch is going to drive me out of my mind!

 

As hard as I tried I just could not figure out a way for Kagura to accept to talk to me. And knowing how stubborn she could be, I was sure it could be a while before she would willingly listen to me. It was not like I could tie her up and make her listen. All I wanted was to explain to her what really happened eight years ago, explain to her why I had to leave.

 

I sat up and sighed. Really when did I become so pathetic? It really was not like me to lie around moping about the past in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Really pathetic. How could I be brought down by a mere wench? Who am I kidding? Kagura is not just any woman she was and will always be MY woman.

 

I stood and changed, I needed to at least go see her. Ever since my birthday dinner I have not been able to focus on my work. I needed to get rid of the `Kagura problem' and fast, I had a very important case to plead in court in two days. Of course I already knew I was going to win, but still I enjoyed having a clear mind when I stepped in a court room and faced a judge.

Kagura did not live far from her workplace. It was almost a walking distance, but the fact that she would take her car to work did not surprise me at all. She had always been lazy and hated walking. Growing up if it were not for me she could spend an entire weekend sitting on her couch in front of the TV eating junk food. The only way of transportation she enjoyed was flying, I guess it was to be expected from a wind sorceress…

 

Finding her apartment building has not been hard. Starting from the offices of Goshinbuku magazine if I had wanted to I could have easily tracked her scent. But since I saw her license plate, I simply asked a friend of mine at the police department to return a favor he owed me and he was able to track down her address.

 

I breathed deeply as I paced in front of her building's front gate. Inuyasha would be laughing so hard, if he knew that I was afraid of even knocking on her door. What am I thinking? I do not know fear!

 

As I was about to buzz her door and ask her to open the front gate, one of her neighbors came out. I took this as a sign and before the gate closed behind him I stepped in the courtyard.

 

I went up the stairs and stood in front of her apartment. I could feel my heart pounding, how annoying to feel all these emotions rushing through my head. Apprehension and fear of being rejected, happiness to simply see her face once more and even some sadness, who knew what, was waiting for me behind the closed green door.

 

I gently knocked on the door and waited. As expected it did not take long for Kagura to open the door. She was wearing a white pair of shorts and a small form fitting red tank top, despite being twenty three years old she still looked like the awkward teenager I grew to love, okay maybe she did grow some curves.

 

In her right hand she was holding a chocolate smeared wooden spoon and I knew she was pissed. Every time Kagura baked, it meant she was mad, especially when she baked her double layered chocolate cake.

 

It hurt me to see the bright smile she had on disappear as soon as she saw me. Kagura quickly yet forcefully closed the door, but to my surprise not before stepping outside next to me. I wondered if she simply did not want me to see the inside of her home. Or maybe she was hiding something? Or someone? Perhaps she did have a boyfriend after all?

 

No, Inuyasha would not dare try to set me up with another man's woman, or would he? I quickly chased the idea out of my head as I realized that even if I would not put pass Miroku and Inuyasha to do such a thing, Kagome and Sango would never allow it.

 

“Are you stalking me? I thought I asked you to stay the hell away from me?” Kagura asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.

 

“I merely wish to talk to you” I answered locking my eyes with hers. I saw her shiver and I loved the fact that I could still make her react this way.

 

“Why won't you just go away, just like you did eight years ago?”

 

“I did not just go away, there were things I needed to do” I said still not dropping her gaze.

 

“Things? Things far more important than pathetic old Kagura I presume? You left without a word, just like that, it was as if you vanished of the face of the earth. You did not even let me know you were alright. How could you? Right after we…Never mind it doesn't matter any more this is in the past I don't care anymore” Kagura said turning around.

 

I sensed that she wanted to get away, so I did the first thing that came to my mind, I took her in my arms. I did not even care that the chocolate batter on the spoon smeared all over my immaculate and expansive white shirt. The only thing that mattered was her.

 

“Kagura, just listen to me” I said as softly as I could, running my hand through her hair. I noticed that her hair was much shorter now that I could see its entire length since it was not confined in a bun. She cut her beautiful waist long ebony tresses, and to think that I let my hair grow, because I knew that she would like it. Not that I ever thought I would see her again, but just in case.

 

“No, you're too late. You're fucking eight years too late! I would have wanted to listen then. But not today, I am not some love struck teenager anymore. I am a grown woman Sesshomarou.” She tried to get free of my embrace but I was not ready to let her go, not just yet. It was so sweet to hear my name on these soft red lips once more.

 

She started to struggle as she tried to get free, I could tell she wanted to stay in my arms as mush as I wanted her too. She was just being stubborn and refused to give in to her real emotions and desires.

 

“Damn woman stop squirming and listen!” I screamed, I really had enough of her stubbornness. She must have been surprised because she stopped moving and looked up at me.

 

“Fine, go on.” She said stomping her right foot.

 

“Kagura the reason I left all those years ago, was that…” I started but did not have time to finish as the door of her apartment opened to reveal a black haired young girl?!

 

“Mommy when are you coming back inside? We have to finish the cake!” the little girl whined. She then looked up at me and asked “who are you and what are you doing to my mom?”

 

 

 

 

To be continued…
