InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Make A Wish ❯ Chapter 6

Upon looking into each others eyes, it was as if time stopped once again. They were so lost in each others eyes they didn't even realize the train stopped. They were brought out of there individual thoughts when someone yelled “Get out of the way, your blocking the exit.”

He released her hand to wrap his arms around her waist and gently lifted up and out of the way of the impatient passengers. He easily sat her down on the bench and knelt down in from of her. He wasn't ready to let her go.

“Are you alright?” he asked placing a hand on her knee.

She was in shock. She didn't mean to keep looking at the man in front of her. His eyes just seem to hypnotize her. When he put his arms around her to move her to a near by seat, she could feel the warmth of his body seeping threw his cloths, she felt safe, she couldn't recall a time in her life she ever felt like she had in those short moments. When he spoke and rested his hand on her knee, she blushed.

“Um, Yes I'm just fine. Thank you so much for helping me.” She stuttered.

He looked at her and saw the blush across her cheeks. It was then he finally seemed to get his brains working again and he mentally groaned. He was questioning his actions once again. He didn't want to get to know this woman; he didn't want to get to know anyone. He had to get away from her; he knew if he stayed a moment longer he would want to spend more time with this woman.

He stood and stepped away from her. “You need to be more careful, you shouldn't try to overload yourself with nonsense until you can walk on your own two feet again.”

She couldn't understand what just had happened. She had watched his eyes change from what she could have sworn was passion to cold an indifferent. Even his words seem to be cold. She wanted to ask him what she did wrong, but before she could get the chance, the train stopped and he walked out the doors. She just sat and stared at the hand he held and wondered why he turned so cold.

It wasn't even his stop, but he walked out of the station to the busy streets. He didn't know where he was going, but kept walking. He thought about the past. He thought about his future. He was so torn between the two. He came across a small park and starting walking threw. He saw the kids playing in the sand and wondered why his life couldn't be that simple and carefree. His thoughts drifted back to the woman on the train, her eyes had held him in a trance he couldn't explain. He wanted to keep her wrapped in his arms when he moved her. It was as if she was meant to be in his arm. He rubbed his hands across his face hoping to erase the images of her. He wasn't going to let another woman in; he couldn't go threw the heart ache again. Picking up his cell he made a call.
He waited for the person to answer, this person owed him and he was in need to get this woman out of his mind.

“Well if it isn't Sesshomaru. What can I do for you tonight?” Miroku asked.
“You owe me, monk!” was his only reply

Miroku just winced; he hoped Sesshomaru had gotten over the ink incident. “Where are we meeting?”

“Bourbon Street, be there in an hour.” Sesshomaru replied.

Miroku just rolled his eyes; when ever Sesshomaru wanted to go there he wanted to forget his problems. He knew he was in for a night of heavy spending, but his friend was troubled and he did owe him. “See you there”

“Good” Sesshomaru said turning off the cell. He turned toward the street to call a cab.

Kagome placed her bags on the kitchen table and flopped down on the chair. She couldn't get him out of her mind. She kept thinking of his eyes and how they changed so quickly. She was brought out of her thoughts when a hand was placed on her shoulder.

“Hey, are you alright? I was calling your name and you never answered, you just kept staring straight ahead” Sango said with concern in her voice.

“I ran into Dr. Yummy again.” She groaned.

“Why do you look so down? I thought it would be a good thing?” Sango said sitting down in the chair next to her.

“Oh Sango, I was trying to drag all these bags home and the train was packed and I couldn't find a seat. The train jerked forward and I fell, it was him that helped me. It was magic at first. But then he turned cold.” Kagome said rushing the words and trying not to cry.

Sango frowned. “What do you mean if was magic at first? What the heck happened?”

Running her hands threw her hair and taking a deep breath to steady her frazzled emotions. “When I looked to see who helped me, I looked right into his eyes, and time stopped again. We stood there just staring at one another until someone told us to move. He then wrapped his hands around my waist and without breaking eye contact he placed me in a near by seat.”

“That sounds so romantic. So what happened next” Sango said leaning forward.

Putting her hands up to her head and yanking on her hair she spoke threw clenched teeth. “This is the part I don't even understand? I watched his eyes change, he then scolded me for carry to many things and then he walked off the train, not even glancing back at me.”

Sango slowly reached over and rested her hand on her friends. “You really like this guy don't you.”

Kagome lowered her head and looked at the floor. “Yes, I know he felt something. I saw it in his eyes.”

“If it is meant to be, it will happen. I wish I could help out more.” Sango said leaning in to give Kagome a reassuring hug.

“I know, I just wish the God's would work with me just once.” Kagome said hugging her friend back.

“I know just what you need, a girls night out. I heard one of the other instructors at my dojo talking about a bar and grill called Bourbon Street. No time like to present to go check it out.” Sango said with a gleam in her eye.

“I don't know Sango, I hate going any place with these damn crutches.” Kagome said nodding towards the crutches.

“Nonsense, go and change. I'll be there to help you out.” Sango said grabbing on to Kagome's hands.

Kagome smiled. “Ok, Ok, You're buying tonight!”

Sango just smiled back and handed her the crutches. “Now get ready, were something sexy too.”

Kagome laughed and threw the crutches back at Sango and hoped down the hall to her bedroom.

The bartender places the shot of twelve year old Wild Turkey in front of him. He grabbed on the glass and brought it to his lips, the slight burn of the drink going down his throat, made him think of her and the look she gave him after he scolded her. He looked back at the bartender and lifted his glass. Just one wasn't going to do.

“Hey man, how many of those have you had so far?” Miroku said sitting down on an empty seat next to Sesshomaru.

“Just one, now get out your wallet and pay for another one. I believe you will be buying the drinks all night.” He said raising the refilled shot glass to his lips once again.

Miroku hadn't seen him like this since his divorce. He knew something was bothering him, but knew he wouldn't talk about it until he was ready. He ordered himself a drink and had his drink refilled. He was surprised when after the third drink Sesshomaru spoke.

“She's beautiful.” Sesshomaru said with a slight slur.

Miroku was stunned, he couldn't remember the last time Sesshomaru made any kind of a comment about a woman. “Who is?”

“Kagome” Sesshomaru said lifting the drink to his lips.

Miroku's eyes widened at the mention of a name other than Kagura. “Kagome who?”

“I don't remember. She came into the E.R. to have her ankle looked at.” He said still not looking at Miroku.

“That's what has you bothered, you can't remember her last name?” Miroku questioned.

“No, you dumb ass. I haven't felt this way about a woman in a long time and I don't know what to think about it.” He said slamming the glass onto the bar.

“Whoa slow down here. You've only seen her once and you're telling me you have feeling for her.” Miroku questioned.

“I don't know what I'm thinking any more. All I do know is that I don't want to feel this way.” Sesshomaru said running his hands threw his hair.

“It's been a year; it's time you moved on. Kagura isn't coming back.” Miroku said in hushed voice.

He just looked at his friend. He couldn't believe his said her name. It only brought back memories he wasn't ready to deal with. Sliding off the stool and standing up. “I need to piss, I'll be back”

Miroku shook his head, his friend was still hurting. Taking a long drink, he set the glass on the bar and resigned to the fact it was going to be a long night.

*********************************************************** ***

They entered the bar and looked for a seat glad to see the place wasn't packed. They found an empty table and waved at the bartender.

“Not a bad place.” Sango commented.

“Hey, I'm going to find the bathrooms. Get me a seven and seven will you?” Kagome said standing and trying to make her way to the sign that read Restrooms.

Sango watch Kagome for a few seconds and started looking around the bar. She noticed a man sitting at the bar. He was staring right at her. She quickly turned her eyes away from the man. She had noticed he was good looking and on any other night she would go introduce herself, but tonight was for Kagome.
**************************************************************< br>
Kagome walked down the short hall heading for the women's restroom, when she ran into a solid form. “I'm so sorry; I wasn't watching where I was going.”

“It can't be.” Sesshomaru said. His mind reeling.

Kagome quickly looked up when she heard the familiar voice. She couldn't believe it; here he was standing in front of her. She looked into his eyes again and was lost.

Sesshomaru was sure it was the drink that made his hand reach out and touch her face. He didn't stop himself when he leaned forward and gently placed his lips on hers.

She held her breath when she saw his hand coming toward her face. But the soft graze across her check made her gasp. She was even more surprised when he leaned toward her and placed his lips on hers. The warmth that spread threw her when his lips met hers made her lean more into him.

He felt her lean more into him and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulling her forcefully toward him. Crutches crashing to the floor didn't stop them from deepening the kiss. He licked her lower lip wanting permission to enter. He didn't have to wait long and soon both tongues were touching. At first it was a hesitant touch, but quickly turned into seeing who was dominant. She brought her hands to his chest and grabbed onto his shirt trying to pull him closer.

This action brought him to his senses; he pulled back, looked into her eyes and said “I'm sorry” He bent over to collect her crutches, handed them over to her and walked away from her once again.
