The coffee was hot. Steaming hot as I poured it into his cup. It warmed my hands through the pristine white china. I set it down on his tray, smelling it and closing my eyes. His lips would touch the crisp edge of this cup. The coffee would pour into his mouth and warm it. He would bite into the scone that I have prepared for him with love, care, and extra everything. I set this one aside from the rest. He has been coming to my little cafe every Saturday and Sunday since it opened. He sits in the same place, drinks the same coffee, eats the same scones. He is my beautiful constant, and one day, I will build up the courage I need to go over there and talk to him and stop loving him from afar.

The Café In Manahatta

Part Eight

“Hello?”

The voice that answered was rough and raw from sleep, but it was not the voice of my sister. It was too masculine.

“Who is this?” I asked.

“I don't give my name unless I know who you are, and what you want. Now, who are you?”

“I'm Kikyo: Kagome's sister,” I replied slightly taken aback by the man on the phone.

I heard a voice in the background. It was my sister.

“Go back to sleep muffin,” he whispered to her. “I'll be back in a moment, don't worry.” There was silence and I heard a door close. I was assuming that this was Inuyasha, and that he had left the room to give my sister as much peace as he could.

“You have a lot of nerve calling here,” he hissed into the phone, the venom dripping from his words. “Do you have any idea how hurt Kagome was when I came home?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any idea how much she cried, and how she kept saying over and over again that she thought that she was doing the right thing?”

“I—”

“And then you call her at this hour, after she cried herself to sleep.”

“Bu—”

“The only, and I mean only reason that you should be trying to call her right now is because you want to apologize for what you did after she tried to keep you happy. She was taking your feelings into consideration,” he barked. I was in a different building, but I could still feel the rage in his voice and I could tell that it was radiating off of his very being.

“Can I—”

“What, talk to her?”

“Yes.”

“Call back in the morning.”

I heard a dial tone. He hung up on me, though he had every right to. I bit my lip and stared at the phone.

Well, at least he was protective of her. That was a good thing.

I washed my dishes, and put them away. The big silver bowl goes in the top cabinet. Sometimes I have to stand on a chair to reach it. This time, though, I opened the cabinet, and I immediately knew I couldn't reach it. I was wearing flats. I just put the bowl on the counter and looked around the kitchen one last time. The timer was going to ding in fifteen minutes. As I stood there waiting, doing nothing, the conversation I had had that night with my sister kept coming back to me. Inuyasha was right. I really was being selfish and heartless.

A/N: Ouch…that stung for Kikyo…anyways…thank you so much to Dei Dei (I spelled you name right this time…three times charm) and to Silver Dog of the Snow who pointed out boo boo's. Don't fear pointing them out! I like hearing the bad as much as the good! Much love to those who are reading this, and reviewing! Huggles, and more to come tomorrow!

Now for the AR's!

Again…can't say…but her White Rose is the only man to bring her out of her numb stupor that she has been living in for the last two years. Kagome is willing to do anything to get Kikyo back, and I mean anything. You will just have to wait to see what that anything is. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

Lol…Rin would defiantly be the better fit for the sister, without a doubt! Haha…maybe next time I should to a Kagu/Kanna story just to do another curve ball…but that would mean a Kagu/Sessh paring, and I'm not so sure how I would do with that. Your logic behind the Kikyo thing actually makes a lot more sense then what I was thinking of when I chose her, lol. I just wanted a good sister for Kagome, and they look alike. Then again…I never was going to have Kikyo have a late lover. That kinda just happened…so I guess that does make my choice more appropriate huh? Ah…if only things were so easy for Kikyo that her biggest problem with her sister was that she stole recipes from her. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

Already replied. Your comment made more sense in the morning though after I could think clearly :D.

To: angel-up-above-heaven

:D. Yay! You can stand Kikyo! I got one aboard! Lol. I can't say if the Poet is Sesshomaru or not…but I won't stop you from picturing him.
