InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Lives Turned Upside Down ❯ The Talk and the Plan ( Chapter 15 )

This chapter is dedicated to all my reviewers cuz you guys are just wonderful and I just really wanted ya to know that!!!!!! ^_^

The following day Inuyasha decided that he would give Kagome a call. Picking up his phone he dialed the number and waited for an answer. "Hello?" the voice replied. "Hi, is Kagome there?" Inuyasha asked. "Yes of course, she just got home, hold on." "Ok thanks" Inuyasha said.

Waiting a minute he heard voices in the background and the voice he assumed to be Kagome was saying "No mom, I don't feel like talking to anyone right now. Can you just please tell them that I'm busy?!" "Now Kagome" her mom started "I already told the young man that you were here so just talk to him."

"Young man?" Kagome replied nervously while slightly fidgeting. Who could it be on the phone, Kagome wondered. "Yes, now if you'd just pick the phone up you could find out just who it is, alright?" her mom finished. "Yea, yea ok mom. I'll take it in here." "Alright sweetie." And with that her mom left.

Slowly picking up the phone Kagome answered in as cheerful of a tone as she could muster "Hi!" "Hey Kagome, it's Inuyasha" He said. Breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn't Sesshomaru she continued "Oh hey Inuyasha, what's up with you?"

"Ahh nuthin I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go out to coffee tonight with me and we could just talk, ya know. Hang out? Just as friends of course." Smiling at the sweet gesture she answered "Sure Inuyasha that sounds great, what time?" "Uhh how about 7 o'clock and we could meet at the Starbuck's?"

"Ok, that's fine, I'll cya then!" "Alright kool. Bye Kagome." "Bye Inuyasha." The day quickly passed and it was time to go and meet Inuyasha. I wonder what he's going to say to me and why he wants to see me. Well, looks like I'm just gonna have to go and find out!

Walking in the door of the coffee shop she quickly scanned the chairs looking for him. Spotting him in the corner she made her way over there and upon seeing him look up at her smiled brightly and gave a small wave. Approaching him he stood up and upon reaching him he greeted her with a hug. "Hey Kagome. You look great." "Thanks Inuyasha, you look good too" Kagome replied shyly.

Both sitting down Inuyasha started "Well Kagome actually I came here to talk to you about Sesshomaru..." Watching her expression he watched how her face immediately darkened. Almost cringing with guilt he knew this would be hard but he'd promised his brother so he had to go through with it.

"Um, I don't know Inuyasha. Maybe this wasn't a good idea...." Kagome said reluctantly lowering her eyes to the table. "I know this isn't exactly a comfortable topic for you but I just thought maybe it would help to get it all out in the open, ya know?" Inuyasha continued "But if you don't want to that's alright, I understand."

"No, no" Kagome interrupted "Maybe you're right. I guess it would be ok." "Well I just personally wanted to tell you that I really truly think that Sesshomaru has true feelings for you. He's really broken up about it, I just talked to him last night and he just looked awful. He can't really get much sleep anymore and it's all because of not being with you. I know at first that he was just supposedly using you but I think deep down Sesshomaru always knew that you were different."

Continuing to watch her face the whole time he noticed her eyes start to tear and wanted to stop but continued on "I also wanted to apologize again for acting like such a jerk the first time I met you. I was really outta line and I feel horrible for making you so depressed and all. Someone like you deserves to be happy, you are really someone special Kagome. You have to believe that, you do right?" He finished, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"W..well. Y..yes I guess so." "Ok, well I'm telling you that you are and you can't ever think differently. I know that you are heartbroken over Sesshomaru but he is too. And I just think that you guys should give it another try. He's changed so much Kagome, you have to see that. He never used to be so caring and open with his feelings like he is when he's with you."

Trying to discreetly wipe away a few stray tears from her eyes she tried to answer him without falling apart and making a fool out of herself. "Inuyasha, I know that he's changed and I do have feelings for him but I just don't think I'm ready yet. I just can't be in a relationship so soon, I need some time to heal. I appreciate you talking to me and trying to help but I think the only thing that will ever help is time." Kagome said.

" But umm... I really have to get going, I don't want my mom to worry but it was nice seeing you again. I'll talk to ya later!" "Alright Kagome, I hope what I said didn't offend or upset you in any way." "No, no!" Kagome assured him "It's fine really, but hey let's get together sometime again, ok?" Kagome finished with a smile. "Sure Kagome that sounds nice. Well until then I guess..." "Yea, bye!" she said while giving him a quick hug. "Bye" Inuyasha said.

Ahh crap, Inuyasha thought to himself. I hope that I didn't make matters worse. Well at least that she for sure does have feelings for them. I mean if they both have feelings for each other something has gotta work out eventually. I've done what I can, I guess I just have to step back and let things happen on their own now. Good luck Sesshomaru, you are definitely gonna need it. But I do hope that they do get together, I think that they were meant to be. Who else could've changed Sesshomaru that much that he would come to me for advice. Rin was the only who was ever able to get through to him until now but Kagome could really change him for the better all the way and shatter through all his barriers he's set up...

Sesshomaru rubbed his temples with his fingers trying to stop the migraine he knew was coming. He was at his wit's end trying to figure out what he could do to ever make her forgive him. Coming up empty for what seemed the thousandth time he threw a glass full of water at the wall with a growl watching it shatter and watched as his helper came in to clean it up.

"Jaken, just leave it, I want to be left alone at the moment" he bit out. Watching his helper quake in fear as he quickly retreated out the door he grinned, at least he still had control over some things. Unfortunately Kagome lurked back into his mind and he growled once again grasping for anything, just anything that could make the situation better.

A lightbulb finally seemed to go off in his head. Kagome definitely didn't want to see him at the moment or for a while, but what if it wasn't him. He could send her gifts and sweet notes from a secret admirer and make her fall in love with him all over again without her even knowing. Then she wouldn't be able to turn him down. Yes Sesshomaru you truly are a genious. Now to set this plan into action...

Walking home Kagome was left alone with her thoughts. Maybe Inuyasha had a point, maybe she should give Sesshomaru another chance...No! I told myself that I would stay strong and give myself time to really think. And to get things back to normal before I even thought about being with Sesshomaru again...yes but he looked so depressed last night and it was all my fault. I can't think like this, I have to get him out of my head or I'll surely go crazy.

Making it home she quietly slipped in the house noticing her mom must've already gone to bed. She slowly creeped up the stairs and went to her room closing the door behind her as silently as possible. Sighing she crawled into bed, shut the lights out and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.

The next morning she groaned waking up and pulled herself out of bed. It was Sunday and decided that maybe taking a jog would help clear her mind. Grabbing some shorts and a tank top she threw them on and ran down the door while shouting out "Hey mom, I'm gonna take a jog, I'll be back within an hour." "Alright hun, have fun!" her mom yelled after her as Kagome left the house.

Taking off at a sprint she spent the whole hour just running as fast as she could so nothing else could distract her but the act of running. Glancing at her watch she noticed how late it was and made a beeline home, she didn't want her mom to think anything happened to her. Her mom was always so worried like that.

Walking in the house feeling refreshed she yelled out to her mom "I'm back ma!" And her mother greeted her in the hallway with something in her hands but not able to make it out she approached her gasping as she saw it....
