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.

Disclaimer: I love the only Inuyasha related thing I own. My cute little chibi inu key-chain which lives out its happy life on my iPod making fashion statements everywhere (Ha! Take that Parris Hilton! You want something hot? Then look at my iPod cuz it's so cute and knows how to accessorize.)
The Café In Manahatta

Chapter 9
The next day, Saturday, I went over to Kagome's. I had a basket full of chocolate death and more guilt then I knew what to do with. I couldn't face her…and God only knows who would answer the door. I didn't really feel like dealing with an angry Inuyasha right now. I hung the basket on the doorknob, and left before anyone knew what I had done.
I left a little note in the basket with a singe word. Sorry.
Saturday was a slower day this week, or maybe it just felt slower. The clock seemed to just keep on ticking and ticking, but never reached the closing hours. I kept checking my cell to see if Kagome would call me, but no. I didn't receive a single call from her.
“You know,” Mr. Simon said on his way out that day, “if I didn't know better, I would say that something is bothering you.”
“What do you mean?” I asked as I washed the cases from fingerprints.
“You might think that I am not as sharp as I once was, but I have news for you missy. I am just as keen as I was twenty or thirty years ago. I know when someone is hurting.”
“Well, I thank you for your concern Mr. Simon, but I am fine.”
“Poppy cock.”
I giggled at that.
“Why don't you just tell me what's wrong. You got nothing better to do, and I have seen you clean those cases five other times today.”
“They get smudged easily,” I defended, but his knowing eye was a tad too knowing. “There is not too much to tell.”
“Then humor this old bag of bones and tell anyway,” he urged. “Even nothing, is worth something.”
I went with him to a table in the back with two cups of coffee and his favorite muffin.
“If I am going to bore you to death,” I teased, “I might as well give you some coffee.”
“Darling, that is—”
“I know,” I cut off, “but it will make me feel better.”
He gave me a look that indicated that he knew better again, but said nothing else.
“I…” I swallowed. I was suddenly afraid to speak, but the encouragement that I saw in his eyes was enough to spur me on. “Have always been very close with my sister. She is only a year younger then me you know. Normally with that age difference, we should be trying to rip each other's hair out, but we never have. We are like twins without the same birthday. We…got into a fight yesterday. She is seeing someone and probably has been for a long time but…she never told me. We tell each other everything, but she didn't tell me this.”
“And why do you think she did that?”
“She was trying to protect me from myself.”
I could tell that he wanted to ask more, but he knew that I wasn't ready to talk about it yet.
“hn…and have you tried talking to you sister yet?”
“I called her apartment yesterday, but her new boyfriend answered and wouldn't let me. I dropped off a batch of muffins this morning too, but I still haven't heard from her.”
“Give it time darling. If you to are as close as you say, she will call you when she is ready.
Mr. Simon left after a more lighthearted conversation and he had finished off his coffee and muffin. He really was a sweet man.
My White Rose never came that day, but in the end, I didn't care.
Kagome called.
A/N: Olive branch, or something else? We'll find out tomorrow! Thanks those who read, and even more so to my reviewers! Much love, and keep reading!
Now for the AR's!

Lol...well...I can say this: as an Inu/Kag lover, the two will end up together and you will hear about it step by step through Kikyo's POV. That is part of the reason why I had this chapter: to show Kikyo that Inuyasha cares about Kagome. The point of the fight is to show how much Kikyo loves Kagome, and what she will do for her, and to further prove that Kikyo isn't a bitch all the time. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

Haha…that she did. Inuyasha really cares about Kagome, and he was pissed to see the state she was in when she got back from Kikyo's, so he was being a fluffy guard dog. lol…exhalent! That will work out nicely for you ;-). Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

It was…but in his mind, he was justified. He really likes Kagome, and when he saw her like that, he was beyond pissed with Kikyo. Don't worry though…you will see what happens soon enough, and I can't tell you what happens…but it will be interesting (or it was for me). Anyways… Thanks for the review, and keep reading!
