Chapter 14 - Heart to Heart

 

Kagome let her eyes close as she let a yawn out. Today was her day. The day where she could sit back on the couch and watch re-runs of cartoons. It was the day to sleep in and stay in her pajamas all day. Today there was no Sango, Miroku, or Sesshomaru, just Ka-.

 

“KAGOME.”

 

Today was no longer her day, it seemed that today belonged to her mother.

 

“Yes?” She screamed, pushing the red teddy-bear blanket off her.

 

“Would you come into the kitchen, please?” She asked a bit too sweetly.

 

Although her body and mind refused to move off the warm couch, she some how managed to push herself up and into the kitchen.

 

Mrs. Higurashi zoomed around the kitchen like a mad woman on fire. There were eggshells and flour on the floor. A bag full of sugar emptied out on the counter by the mixing pan and different spices filled the island in the kitchen.

 

“Kagome, I don't know what's been wrong with me lately, but Souta has a bake sale tonight and I was supposed to bake five cakes and I ran out of supplies, I have two cakes in the oven and I'm icing one right now. I need you to hurry to the supermarket and grab some ingredients for the cakes. The money is already on the kitchen table, thank you so much Kagome.” Her mother yelled running to the oven to check on the two cakes.

 

Kagome silently took the money and left the kitchen, not wanting her mother to lose awareness of the cakes. She really needed to take some time off of work and PTA.

 

Waltzing into her room she pulled on a pair of light blue jeans and left her blue tank top on, then grabbed her running shoes from the doorway, and left for the store.

 

Driving to the market took no more than ten minutes and Kagome quickly placed every item needed inside her shopping cart.

 

`Now which isle is the vanilla extract on?' She pushed in the middle of the isle scanning each sign. `There it is isle seven.'

 

Before she could stop a small cacophony echoed the isle.

 

“Oh my goodness I'm so sorry.” The woman's voice apologized. Her bright green eyes looked at her in all sincerity.

 

At that very moment Kagome wished that she never made that turn around the corner, never drove here, never answered her mother calling her, but unfortunately she did and there was no way out of this strange predicament.

 

Forcing the grin on her face she acknowledged the woman.

 

“Hello Sachiko, how are you?”

 

Surprised Sachiko's eyes widened as if suddenly recognizing her. “Oh I could hardly recognize you without the wig and clothes, personally I think this look fits you better.”

 

Kagome laughed, “I'd have to agree with you.”

 

`Oh God shoot her now, she was talking with the one woman who had once owned Sesshomaru's heart.'

 

“How are you?” Sachiko asked kindly.

 

“I'm good, been busy with school and babysitting, how about you?”

 

“I'm doing just fine, planning to stay here for a couple of more days.” She smiled.

 

“Listen Kagome, if you don't mind, could we talk later on today?” She asked. “I would love to learn more about Rin's new babysitter.”

 

Her heart clenched, that meant it would be just Sachiko and her, alone, talking. If she said no then she would have to lie and she wasn't good at that. If she said yes, then who knows what could happen?

 

“You don't have too you know, I mean it would be nice, but you're a teenager and I'm sure you've got plenty of things to do besides hanging out with some old lady.” Positioning her cart to leave, she walked away.

 

“Wait, no I'm sorry, I'll come, but it will have to be sometime around six.”

 

Sachiko beamed with joy, “Thank you, we can meet at the Starbucks across the street around six thirty?”

 

“That sounds good.”

 

“Alright I'll see you at six thirty then.” Waving good-bye at Sachiko's retreating form Kagome then set off in the direction of isle seven.

 

OoOoOoOo

 

Walking into Starbucks ten minutes early wasn't what she had planned on, but once Kagome had dropped off her mother's baking supplies, she had anxiously waited for six thirty to come around. But, because of her impatience, she bolted for the door as soon as the minute hand hit the six.

 

Kagome stood in line debating on whether to purchase a piece of cheesecake or a hot cup of coffee; inhaling the intoxicating aroma of fresh coffee beans and mouth-watering treats.

 

“Umm may I please get a slice of cheese cake and a small cup of your House Blend, please?”

 

Why not both, she deserved it. Paying the cashier the money Kagome made her way to a table for two near the back of the store, sitting down near the chair towards the wall, as to get an easier view of the door.

 

Her heart couldn't help but stop each time the door rang when a person came inside. Around the seventh ring, Sachiko entered and did a small wave and pointed towards the cashier counter. Simply nodding her head at Sachiko's silent question, she waited patiently and took a sip of her coffee she had bought before Sachiko arrived.

 

Sachiko quietly sat down across from her and smiled.

 

“I'm glad you decided to come.” She said timidly.

 

“No problem, as you said, you wanted to meet Rin's babysitter.” Kagome said, her eyes staring into her own cup of steaming coffee.

 

“Well Kagome, that's not the only reason.” Kagome snapped her head to look at Sachiko.

 

“What?”

 

“I'm sorry, but I figured if you knew the real reason you wouldn't show.” Sachiko rambled desperately.

 

Kagome stared at Sachiko debating whether to even give Sachiko the time of day since she'd lied.

 

`But she did admit she lied to me.' She thought silently.

 

“Well since I'm already here, I might as well listen to what you have to say, but if you say one thing wrong, I'm leaving.” Kagome firmly said.

 

Sachiko nodded her head in understanding. “What is Sesshomaru to you?”

 

Kagome shook her head, she could leave, but wouldn't that obviously give her the illusion that there was something between them?

 

“Noting, he's my teacher and I'm his student.”

 

“Kagome, we don't know each other, but I know Sesshomaru and the way you two came in together said it all.” Kagome looked towards the window, her heart beating against her rib cage.

 

“I'm not going to rat you out or anything, I just want to make sure you're,” she hesitated. “You're just right for him.”

 

One look into Sachiko's watery green eyes and it said it all.

 

Car horns blasted from the street, dishes clattered from the kitchen area and mumbled whispers could be heard around the café. Did she trust Sachiko? No, did she consider her a close friend who she could reveal all her deep secrets to? No, but that look in her eyes and the aura around her, made Kagome feel like she was genially concerned for Sesshomaru.

 

“Yes.” She answered softly.

 

Sachiko nodded and smiled. “Thank you for your honesty, and I really mean it, my lips are sealed.”

 

“I needed to tell somebody anyways, I've been holding it in to long.”

 

“I'm glad it was me.” She said taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

 

“How could you tell that we're more then teacher and student?”

 

“I've known Sesshomaru for years now and when you walked in the house laughing and smiling together I knew something was up. Sesshomaru is the type of person who hides his feelings and through out the whole time we were together, I'd seen him laugh freely only after Rin was born.”

 

A scarlet color rose in her checks. “You truly seem to care for Sesshomaru, if you went through all this trouble to get to me.”

 

Sachiko took the hint that she didn't want to go into details about Sesshomaru and their relationship. “As strange as it may seem I love Sesshomaru and I don't think I'll ever stop. He was the one who stood by me with Rin and made me feel like we did the right thing no matter what society or my parents said.”

 

“Love?” Kagome asked skeptically, she must've made a mistake.

 

Sachiko laughed, “Yes, Kagome love, but trust me when I say I'm not going to make my move, he's with you, besides it would never work.”

 

“Why do you say that, I mean you two have more history then him and me, heck you have a child?”

 

“Kagome, Sesshomaru and I have two different life styles and careers. I love going out to parties, meeting celebrities, making money and I have dreams of making it on the big screen, while Sesshomaru would never be seen at a party, or making friends with celebrities and, although he likes making money, he would rather have a successful business reputation. We're like night and day and you two are like puzzle pieces, don't ever forget Kagome.” She took a long sip of her hot chocolate.

 

Shock filled Kagome's eyes and she nodded, not knowing what to say.

 

“Now how about we talk about your school, hmm?” Sachiko said, placing her mug down on the table.

 

Feeling the tension rise, Kagome and Sachiko chatted, talking about high school, grades, parents, work, and anything and everything, other than Sesshomaru. It turned out Sachiko wasn't a bad person, and over all Kagome was happy she had to come and talk with her.

 

 

OoOoOoOo

 

-Author Notes-

I know you're probably like, what, Sachiko nice? Yes, she is nice and she's going to stay that way. I already have two so-called `evil' people we don't need anymore.

 

-Important-

In the last chapter, I posted the incorrect chapter up, instead of putting the more recently improved chapter; I put the rough draft up. Please go back and re-read the last chapter and make sure you know what is happening.

 

-Author Pet Peeves-

You know when I watch Inuyasha on T.V. I gaze at his hair and see white hair, not silver, but white. Then I come into the world of fanfiction and everybody says, silver. I'm either overreacting or just being stupid. I mean I can deal with silver-white, I mean at least it has white in it. Maybe in one of the episodes Kagome said he had silver hair, maybe I'm colorblind, but I like calling Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's hair white and I plan to stick to it.

 

-Next Time-

The Nagasaki Kunchi Festival and more Naraku.

 

Please be kind and leave me a review.
