Part Thirteen

 

 

I woke up the next day with Kagome's words still ringing clear in my mind.

 

“Now we have to find you another man so that we can double date.”

 

I had already found another man: my White Rose. I felt so comfortable and at ease in his presence: how could we not be perfect for one another? I could already see us in a relationship, and just doing little mundane everyday things. I could hear his whisper in my ear, the breath tickling the edge of it, as he made witty comments about everything and anything. I could see him living here with me, coming down from my apartment to wait for me to make a fresh blueberry scone and coffee while he read the morning paper.

 

“Huh,” he would say. “Did you know that they are thinking about searching for the carcass of Nessie? They think that she might have died. I wonder what could have given them that conclusion, given the fact that she has been alive longer then some humans.”

 

He would bite into his scone then when I gave it to him, fresh and hot. He would kiss me ever so sweetly, thanking me for the scone. He would then pull out his laptop, and write numerous odes to me.

 

It was so easy for me to become lost in this daydream that soon, it was like I was perpetually living in it. He was always there, though I knew that he wasn't, but by living in these dreams, it made my week go faster until I could spend four and a half minutes interacting with him on Saturday and Sunday.

 

When Saturday did finally arrive, and when he did finally walk through the door, I was once again taken aback by his appearance. His hair was longer and messier then it was on Monday, and he was wearing very casual clothing once again. There was no laptop on his person though, so I knew that he wouldn't be here for long.

 

“Two coffees,” he began, “and two blueberry scones.”

 

“To stay or to go?”

 

“To go.”

 

I had half a mind to ask whom the other coffee and scone were for. I'm the jealous type. I always have been. Not once when he stayed here did he ever get another coffee or scone, so there had to be someone else. If he was bringing this to another woman, I knew that I would have to rectify the situation before it got out of hand.

 

I gave him his coffees and his scones, and he paid me and left.

 

I spent the rest of the day with my imaginary version of my White Rose, and I couldn't have been happier.

 

“Kikyo, deary, is something the matter?”

 

Mr. Simon had been watching me closer then usual this last week, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why.

 

“No,” I said. “I'm fine. Why are you asking?”

 

“You seem a tad bit off balance today is all,” he soothed. “Like your head was in the clouds. I was wondering if something had happened to you is all.”

 

“No…I am absolutely wonderful,” I practically sighed, pretending that my White Rose was saying something completely and totally intelligent, but something that I couldn't understand. Something about trigonometry and triangles. His voice was like liquid desire in my mind, and I was practically melting into his embrace.

 

Mr. Simon looked skeptical, but he wished me well and took off.

 

I went about making another batch of hunky chunky banana when suddenly my White Rose began to murmur business into my ear.

 

“It is almost wintertime,” he purred. “Why not add on something else to the hot drink section. Hot chocolate is always a peoples favorite.”

 

“And you think that people will like the new option and that it will bring in more profits.”

 

“Not only that,” he told me as he began to massage my shoulders, bringing my back against his hard chest, “but you can customize it too. Extra chocolate hot chocolate. Pumpkin hot chocolate. Cinnamon. Peppermint. You could do just about anything.”

 

“Mn…you're right,” I moaned.

 

“Kikyo, are you ok?”

 

My eyes snapped open to look at my sister. My White Rose was gone. I could feel my face heat as she rushed over to me in concern.

 

“Are you getting sick?” she asked, raising a hand to feel my temperature.

 

“No…I'm fine.”

 

“You feel hot, and you look flushed.”

 

“Really Kagome,” I insisted. “I'm fine.”

 

“I don't know…maybe you should take tomorrow off.”

 

“No!” I shouted.

 

“Why not? What if you really are sick?”

 

“I…I can take Monday off, but not Sunday.”

 

“Kikyo…why not?”

 

I bit my lip and looked away from her

 

“I just…can't. I'll do any day but Sunday. You…you know how you said that we needed to find someone for me to date? Well…I …I think that I found someone.”

 

Her eyes widened and she started to squeal.

 

“Tell me everything you know about him.”

 

 

 

 

 

A/n: See? It's possible for me to update two days in a row :D. Anyways…I'm hoping that from here out it will be more interesting. Thanks to those that have reviewed! Much love to ya! Keep R and R-ing!

 

Now for the AR's!

 

 

To: kokoronagomu (I think)

 

Haha…ok, ok, no more AR's if that will make you happy. This will be the last one…but I agree that people should review, of coarse. Yup! I figured that things would stay a tad bit more true to the anime that way since he is forever saving Kagome from this and that. This time it was just a mugger. I will pretend that I got your biblical thingy and just smile and nod. *Smiling and nodding*. I did get the thing with her being cold then nice, and for the most part, she will be nice all the way though (I think). Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

 

 

To: angel-up-above-heaven

Hehe…all is forgiven. You reviewed this one :D. I'm not sure where you are (guessing Canada or the UK…I know someone in Canada that says bloody hell too), but I am in the States (and that's all your getting). Over here, at my school, I only have 19 more days of school, a week of break, and then I graduate June 5th or 6th. I don't recall if it was a Friday or a Saturday, but I think 5th. Then college starts for me September 28th. Hehe…well…I thought that 13 was interesting if nothing else. Go for it! I give you the freedom to do with it as you will (after I finish with this one). Just make sure to keep Kikyo in the light I have her in, and not in the whore of the world light a lot of people have her in. Yeah…things weren't all that pretty for her when she heard that since Joe was killed by a mugger. Anyways, thanks for the review and keep reading!
