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.

Part Twenty Six
 
It was New Years Day and I still had yet to give Kagome a straight up answer: to go, or not to go to her New Years party. In my heart, I knew that it would be Hell of a kind my schizophrenic break would never be able to achieve. On the other hand, I knew that I should also be there for my sister and meet the “man of her dreams”.
 
Could I stand her tender touches across his shoulders? The longing looks that he would send over to her form as she talked with other people? The loving embraces that they would share through out the evening? Could I stand the same of other people in the room?
 
For my own sanity, I felt it would be best if I did not go.
 
I glanced over at the time. Nine in the morning. I had to take my “miracle drug”, like always. It was doing me wonders: I had yet to see my White Rose or Bob since I began the strong medication, and I was hopeful that it would continue. It had so far in the two months I had been on it for. I reached into the pocket in my apron and pulled out the bottle, took off the cap, and shook a pale yellow pill into my palm. It was circular and had line indented on one side, my dosage number on the other. I popped it into my mouth and swallowed it with some tap water. Why did people like paying so much for filtered? I will never see the logic in it since my water tastes fine, but maybe that was just another side affect of the schizophrenia.
 
“Kikyo, you here?”
 
I jumped up, and almost spilled my open bottle of pills. I snapped the lid on, and shoved it back into the front pocket of my apron.
 
“Back here Kaggie. In the kitchen.”
 
Her old nickname made her smile, or maybe she was thinking of something that Inuyasha had said again. I silently braced myself for an onslaught that I was sure was about to follow.
 
 
“You decide if you are coming tonight or not?”
 
“Um…not yet,” I tried, ignoring the crest fallen look in her eyes. “I wanted to see how things go here today. I might have a lot of dishes and stuff to clean up later on.”
 
“Kikyo…” she pleaded, “Please…I want you to come. I really want you to meet him.”
 
“I'll try,” I promised, but I could see in her eyes that it fell on deaf ears. She knew as well as I did that my `I'll try' was as good as `I won't'.
 
“Sure,” she whispered as she played with the hem of her sweater. It wasn't fair of me. I knew it as much as she did. When I had asked her to meet Joe that time, she had jumped at the opportunity. Now, I was doing everything in my power to avoid doing the same for her.
 
“Maybe…you can stop bye later on for a few minutes just to say hi?”
 
I sighed and rubbed my eyes.
 
“Sure.”
 
“Really?” she squealed.
 
“Yeah…I'll bring a cake or something.”
 
“Oh, Kikyo! You're the best! Can you make a chocolate one? Inuyasha loves chocolate almost as much as I do.”
 
She threw her arms around my neck, and I closed my eyes in pain. Even a few minutes with the couple was going to be Hell.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A/N: DON'T SHOOT! There was a horrible storm over here yesterday, and the power was out for most of the day. It was horrible :'(. When it did come back on, I wasn't the only one that had to use the computer with internet, so I could only quickly reply to a few important e-mails before I had to turn it over to someone else. Because of that though, I don't have any AR's done. Me sorry… At least I can post this now though :D. I forgot to send this to kittykritik, so booboos will be there. Let me know if you see any!
 
On a side note…I MAY TAKE A BREAK FROM THIS STORY. I'm sorry…but…posting everyday, writing a new chapter everyday…it's a LOT of work…and I need me time, and a bit of time to work on other stuff, like a One-shot I have been working on for TWO YEARS. I have done a lot of off and on stuff with it…but it is only really 14 pages. If I don't work on that, then I do have Training Hearts, An Unscripted Secret, White Rose, and Envious Rose to work on…but…I just need a little time off from this one. I will post the next two or three chapters, and then I will be AWOL for a while. Sorry…
 
 
Thanks to all that have R and R-ed! It means a lot to me, and I love hearing from everyone, and hearing what everyone has to say, be it good bad, or in between!
