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 Thirty Two
 
 
 
 
I sunk down into the water and sighed. It felt good to say that to Kagome. It felt almost like a small weight had been lifted, and I forced myself to look at her relationship and how I had been acting. Selfish, in a way. I was jealous of their relationship, and the fact that she had one while I didn't. The fact that my baby sister had someone that she loved, while I was left in the dust to rot. That the person I loved more then anything had been taken from me. I was really looking into me, and trying to tackle these feelings on my own, without Onigumo's help. I was proud and I felt that this showed growth.
 
I sunk further down into the bath water so that it came above my mouth and just under my nose.
 
Memories of when I was dating Naraku flashed through my mind. Gentle touches. Soft whispers. Longing glances. Joy filled laughter. Mock anger. All of it I left on my sister's lap. I told her everything. Each touch. Each smile. Each laugh. Each fight. All of it went to her. Nothing was left out of those conversations.
 
If I were being honest with myself, didn't she deserve the same? Wasn't it time that I started living again, not just for me, but also for him?
 
I needed to learn to put this anger and jealousy at Kagome's relationship with Inuyasha behind me, and I was going to start today.
 
I sat up in the water and grabbed a bottle of hair shampoo for people who dyed their hair. I have never, nor do I plan on, dying my hair until it grays. I am comfortable with the color of it, and I like it. The shampoo, however, was fantastic for people who don't. Really though, I used it for the conditioner. It was even better for my hair then most moister intensive conditioners.
 
I ran my brush through my hair a few times before rinsing. There was no repeat.
 
When I had finished, I just sat there in the warm water, the sent of cookies swimming around me. I was utterly content, but in reality, if I had known what was going on in the kitchen I would have been a bit more on edge. I didn't though and was content in my oblivious state. I wish in a way that I had never said yes to Kagome's suggestion. That she was the one that came up for a bath. Things didn't go that way though. They never go the way they you want them to.
 
I got out of the water, hearing the ding of my fairly loud timer downstairs. I toweled off and dressed in warm flannel pajamas and comfy shoes. I put on a robe and came downstairs, the steps squeaking now and then from warped wood.
 
"Hey Kaggie! The cookies smell good!" I called out to her as I walked into the kitchen, and over to the table. I picked up one of the cookies that were on a plate in front of her.
 
"Did you try them yet?" I asked her as I started nibbling on one. "Mmmn. It's good."
 
That is when I saw her eyes. They were red and puffy.
 
"Kagome?" I called out tentatively.
 
Her lips pressed into a thin line.
 
"How long?"
 
I sat down across from her, and took her hand in mine. "Kagome?"
 
"How long have you been taking this?"
 
She put the bottle of my miracle drug on the table, and I knew that all hell was about to break loose.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A/N: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG….I'm SOOO sorry! The story is normally up by now, but I went to college today and things took longer then I thought, and because of that I couldn't get to the AR's! I SWEAR that I will do them all tonight and post them tomorrow, but I can't make you wait any longer!!!
 
At last! The cliff hanger has come to an end, and I just wrote my FAVORITE chapter for this story to date. It is absolutely perfect…and you are gonna kill me when you read it. Maybe. Yes? I don't know. YOU WANT ME AROUND TO FINISH THE STORY. That is all I will say ;-). I know that you just got into the 3's…but I am in the 4's…and OMG.

IMPORTANT POLL: This story is already controversial as it is, but I was just thinking yesterday…how many people would want a VERY brief Kikyo lemon? There is a location later in the plot that would allow for one, but please state your opinon for it so I know what to do!!!!
