InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Make A Wish ❯ Chapter 7

Chapter7

She was at first shocked he up and left her again. Forgetting she had to use the restroom, she turned and moved back down the hall as fast as the crutches would allow. She wasn't going to let him get away with leaving her again. She saw him only a few feet ahead of her walking towards the bar. “Hey, stop!” she yelled threw the small crowd.

He heard her yell at him and hesitated. Instead of walking towards the bar he turned and headed for the door.

She saw him turn and head for the door. “Stop right now! Don't you dare walk away from me again?”

Miroku heard a woman yelling and looked around the bar to see what person was catching hell. He noticed Sesshomaru heading for the door and a beautiful woman on crutches following him. Miroku quickly got off his stool and made his way over to Sesshomaru. He needed to stop his friend before he made a big mistake. He reached Sesshomaru just before he could touch the door. “What the hell are you running from?”

Sesshomaru stopped and looked at Miroku. “Myself”

“If this is the woman you were just talking about, I think you better stay and answer her questions.” Miroku said resting a hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder.

Kagome saw another man stop Sesshomaru and thanked the gods for someone stepping in to help. She turned to look at Sango with pleading eyes trying to convey the message she could use her help. She saw the nod of understanding from Sango and slowly approached Sesshomaru.

“What the hell is the matter with you Dr.? This is the second time you've walked away from me.” Kagome yelled at him.

“I told you I'm sorry.” Sesshomaru whispered looking at the floor.

“Sorry my ass, not but minutes ago your kissing me and then you walk away as if it was a mistake. Do you like leading women on?” Kagome yelled.

“I wasn't trying to lead you on, I've had a few drinks and I guess I just let myself get carried away.” Sesshomaru said, he knew he was lying, not only to her but to himself.

“So you're telling me you're some kind of sick fool that goes around kissing women for the hell of it. You're afraid of something and I don't want to be the one you try to over come those fears with.” Kagome said holding back the tears that threatened to fall. She turned and headed back towards Sango.

“Wait” Sesshomaru said placing a hand on her shoulder.

Stopping when he placed his hand on her shoulder, she turned her head and whispered. “Just leave me alone”

She continued on to the table Sango was at and whispered, “I want to go home”

Sango grabbed their bags and followed Kagome to the out door. Once outside Sango turned and said, “I'm sorry Kags.”

Kagome just nodded her head and called for a cab. She wasn't ready to talk about what happened. When the cab arrived, she got in next to Sango and finally let the tears fall.

Miroku grabbed on to Sesshomaru's arm and asked, “What the hell was that all about? Could you fuck up your life any more than it already is?”

“Shut up!” Sesshomaru said pulling away from Miroku and walking out the door.

As soon a Kagome walked threw her apartment door, she threw the crutches to the floor and hopped down the hall to her bedroom. She flopped down on her bed and cried into her pillows. She cried for what seemed like hours, she rolled to her back and looked up to the ceiling. How he could do that to her and just walk away, she thought to herself. She still could feel his hand resting against her cheek and her tears started to fall once again. She knew he was afraid of something. Rubbing her palms across her face wiping away the tears, she decided she was going to find out what he was so afraid of. She wasn't about to let something so magical go. She wasn't going to make it easy on him either. She smiled at the idea that the good Dr. was going to have his work cut out for him if he truly wanted to posses her. She stood from the bed walked to the window; looking out over the city, she raised her hand to rest upon the glass. “Good night, Dr., we will meet again, but this time I won't let you run from me, but I'm not going to make it easy for you either.”

Sesshomaru sat looking out his window. He had poured himself another glass of bourbon. He hoped it would help ease the pain he was feeling. He took another long drink of the alcohol, looked at the glass and threw it against the wall. He was mad at himself for letting Kagura hurt him all over again. But could he really blame this on Kagura, she left him because she was lonely. He worked long hours and when he was home he just went to sleep. He knew he was pushing her away, so why did he always blame her for all of his mistakes. Because she shouldn't have left him to crawl into someone else's bed. She should have stood by him. He told himself. But the reality of it seemed to hit him. He met her while in college, he thought he loved her, thought she would make the perfect doctors wife. But did he really know her until now. He thought he did. He ran his fingers threw his hair and accepted what reality really was. He wanted her for show nothing more, he was the one to push her away. He never really loved her; he lowered his head in shame. All this time he was blaming her and he should have been blaming himself. He walked to the window to look out at the sleeping city; he rested his head against the glass and whispered. “I'm sorry Kagome; I'll make it up to you. I've been such a fool.”

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

Just as the train pulled into the station Kagome waited for the familiar sounds she heard every day. Today when she made her wish, she knew just what it was going to be. Walking threw the doors she hesitated for a second, “Make him not afraid.” She then noticed the same seat he helped her to was still open. She smiled and decided it had to be fate. Sitting down and looking out the window, she couldn't get over the fact it was Monday, and everything seemed perfect.

Kagome looked up at the clock in her classroom and wondered where the time went. Today was a good day for her students. There were no fights, no one tried to eat the crayons, and Shippo and Rin were excellent helpers. She would have to remember to mark this day on the calendar, not many days were like this. She was about to grab her calendar when she heard a knock at her door. Getting up from her desk and going to the door, she was surprised to see someone standing there with a big bouquet of pink roses and red tulips.

“Oh my, who are these for?” She said with wide eyes.

“Are you Ms. Kagome Higurashi?” asked the voice hidden behind the flowers.

“Yes, are you sure these are for me?” She said placing her hand against her chest.

“Sure am miss, do you have some place I could set these?” said the young man peeking out from behind the flowers.

“Yes, could you place them on the desk?” Her heart was racing.

The young man placed them on the desk, turned back to her, nodded his head and walked out the door. The red of the tulips playing off the pink of the roses was breath taking. She took a step toward the flowers when she noticed a card sticking out. She hesitated for a moment before grabbing it. She held the card for a moment looking at her name written across the front. Slowly opening it and sliding the card out, her heart stopped when she read who it was from.

"Flowers have a language of their own, the red tulip and pink rose mean, Believe Me. I can only hope you believe me when I say, I'm Sorry. Dr. Sesshomaru Taisho"

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

Sesshomaru kept looking over the people that stepped onto the train; he was hoping she would be one of them. When his stop arrived, he hesitated a moment before getting up from his seat. Making his way back to his apartment he thought about the day's events. He had to do some heavy bargaining with nurse Yoshi, he had convinced her to help him get Kagome's medical file. It may have cost him bed pan washing for a week, but it was worth it, he found were she worked, her home address and number.

Stepping threw the door of the apartment he could smell food being prepared. “Good evening Remi.” He said speeding up his walk just a little to reach his room before she decided to say anything more.

“Good evening Sess, I made more than enough supper if you would like to join us.” Remi called from the kitchen.

Sesshomaru lowered his head and turned back towards the kitchen. “Where's Yasha?” he asked.

“He just called and said he was running late tonight, so it's just you and me.” Remi said turning to him giving him a big smile.

“Sit down its, ready to serve.” She said turning back to the stove.

Sesshomaru sat down and watched her serve the food. When she was finished she sat down across from him. They looked at one another and with a small grin Remi began to eat. They ate in silence. Sesshomaru couldn't think of anything to say. Sure he like her, she was good for Yasha.

“So, how was work?” Remi said looking up.

“Long” was his only reply.

“I see the alcohol worked on your little problem.” Remi said grinning.

“Yes, thank you” he said pushing back from the table and getting up.

“Sess, please sit back down, I didn't mean to insult you.” Remi pleaded.

“It's not you or what you said Remi, I'm just not up for company tonight I have a lot on my mind, I do thank you for the fine meal.” Sesshomaru said placing his hand on hers. He started walking out of the room when he stopped and looked back, “Remi you do know your good for Yasha right.”

Remi stood up from the table, looked at Sesshomaru with a look of gratification and said, “Thanks Sesshomaru, that means a lot coming from you.”

Sesshomaru nodded, “Good night, Remi” and walk out of the room.

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

Kagome sat the vase of flowers on her dresser. Stepping back from them she thanked Keade for the ride home. She knew she wouldn't have been able to carry them on the train and the idea of leaving them in the classroom sent shivers down her back. She walked to the window to look into the night sky. A shooting star soared across the sky; she closed her eyes and made a wish. She knew it was childish, but who doesn't make a wish on a falling star she reassured herself. It wasn't a totally unrealistic wish, she just wished the good Dr., good night. Smiling she looked back at the flowers and crawled into bed wondering what tomorrow would bring.

*********************************************************** ***
Sesshomaru sat on his bed, reached for the phone and started to dial. He was about to push the last number when he stopped. He sat the phone back down and ran his hands threw his hair. He didn't know what he would say to her, if she answered the phone. He knew she had to get the flowers by now. But did she believe him? He walked over to the window to look out over the city. He wondered what she was doing right at that moment. Was she looking at the flowers and thinking of him? Was she even thinking of him? Turning from the window and crawling under the covers, he told himself, tomorrow, maybe I'll see her tomorrow.
