Chapter 7
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha he belongs to Rumiko Takahashi
A.N. : This is the final chapter period. The sequel i had written (and never finished) on the other site won't be coming back period. If I do decide to again write a sequel for this story it's going to be way way way in the distant future and will be something completely different.
With that said and done. Enjoy the last till I come back with another story.
There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me is just not right
But I can tell what's going on this time
There's a Stranger in my life
The dinner was long, boring and Kagome felt extremely uncomfortable with the silence at their little table. Sesshoumaru didn't make it any better, every time she fidgeted he'd shoot her a glare and she'd try to sit still in her seat. That failed miserably. Than when they ordered and the food came for some reason she was highly aware of her chewing. Why was it so loud! She wondered if he could hear it considering he kept staring at her. Her fidgeting came back.
By the time the check came Kagome couldn't have been any happier. She felt stifled by his silence and needed to get away from his presence all together. The car was worse, she could have practically choked on the silence it was so thick. How had she not noticed before how things had become, how could she have been blind to it for so long?
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked once they were back home. Sesshoumaru had parked his car into the garage and proceeded to get out.
He stared at her for awhile before turning away; "I am about to enter my home."
"Why?" She asked, this definitely changed things.
"I'm going to ignore that idiotic question." He said continuing to make his way towards the door. Kagome followed him into the house her mind reeling. Was this normal? Why was he doing this, she'd finally gotten up the courage to do something and he was doing this. She wondered if he was getting some kind of sadistic pleasure out of all of this.
Kagome didn't know what to say, didn't know what she could say without raising his ire. She sat on their bed watching as he stripped down to take a shower the whole time thinking this is it. Once he's done he'll put on his clothes and march right out the door. She was wrong he got out, slipped into a pair of boxers and then underneath the covers giving her an expectant look.
Kagome's eyes widened; "Um, I have to make a phone call. Just real quick." She said backing out of the room.
"Oh my god, oh my god." She rambled as her fingers pressed down harshly on the buttons. Huddling behind one of the couches she rocked back and forth.
"Hello?"
"Kikyo he's here!" Kagome whispered
There was a yawn; "Who is?"
"Sesshoumaru. He's here in bed."
Kikyo rolled her eyes at the phone. "Well duh, it is his place."
"But he's never here, and I know I should be so happy but it just feels so awkward you know."
"No I don't know."
"But-"
"Kagome I am tired, Inuyasha keeps hogging the damn sheets. I can't be holding your hand 24/7."
Kagome stared at the phone open mouthed as the dial tone came back on. She supposed Kikyo was right but what was she supposed to do? Go back in there and pretend this was all normal when it wasn't. Why is it now that he's finally doing the things she's always craved since he'd started to drift from her? She wondered than why it felt so abnormal, why wasn't she happier that he was showing signs of changing.
Because her heart couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't be sure that he wouldn't turn around and hurt her all over again. She couldn't, wouldn't take that chance. If she did than all she'd be doing was proving to Kikyo just how pathetic she was.
Getting up off the floor she placed the phone back in its charger and made her way back to the room. He lay there fully awake eyes watching every move she made. Kagome resisted the urge to shiver under his intense gaze, forcing a smile she went into the bathroom all the while feeling his eyes on her figure.
Once the door was closed Kagome leaned her back against it and sighed. After taking a long hot shower she cursed silently realizing she hadn't brought any fresh clothes in with her. Peeping out she was relieved to find the room empty. Letting out a sigh Kagome hurried and slipped into her night clothes before slipping underneath the sheets. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.
As she drifted off to sleep she faintly felt strong muscled arms wrap around her waist and pull her into a warm body.

Kagome awoke to the sunlight shining on her face. She blinked, glancing down to her waist where she'd thought she felt male arms. There was nothing there but the sheets, no smell of coffee. She sighed as she realized what had happened, he'd left again. She should have known but then what was last night?
Getting up she threw her closet doors open pulling out the packed suitcases she'd left in there the day before. Huddling them by the door she entered the bathroom and finding her swim cap filled it with her necessary items.
Kagome hummed to herself as she twisted the cap shut and placed it in one of her purses. She went through the whole house rechecking to make sure everything that she would need was packed and ready. Opening the garage she hauled each bag to the trunk and slammed it close.
The corners of her mouth lifted into a small smile before she went back into the house to get ready for the day. After changing into a pair of sweats and a tank she called Kikyo to let her know she was on her way.

Sesshoumaru glared at the sun as he made his way from Kagura's apartment and towards work. Of course he could still see quite clearly but its constant rays on his person were becoming a nuisance. Lifting a clawed hand he pulled down the sun visor to block the rays.
Something caught his attention, his eyes narrowed. Small words were scribbled onto the leather.
A million words could not bring you back, I know because I've tried. A million tears could not bring you back, I know because I've cried.
Sesshoumaru slammed on the brakes.

Kagome stared out the windows of the airport as Kikyo conversed with the desk lady about a ticket. A sad smile was on her face as memories of him flashed through her mind. The both of them happy just to be in the others presence, when he'd first asked her to be his girlfriend, their first valentines together, the warmth in his eyes whenever he'd looked at her, the feeling she got whenever she'd lay in his arms at night simply watching him breath.
Kagome sighed; she knew a part of her would always love Sesshoumaru. They'd been together too long for it to just dissolve, no matter the circumstances. But she needed to get away before she lost herself in this relationship. Staying hurt too much, and she couldn't take the pain anymore.
"Hey," Kikyo said coming over to her ticket in hand. "They're going to be boarding the plane soon; I was able to get her to squeeze you in. Don't worry you won't be next to any fat guy."
Kagome laughed as she stared at her cousin.
"Thank you." She said.
"Oh it was nothing; you just needed a good vocal slap upside your head. And don't worry I'll have your car shipped out to you."
Kagome's eyes watered slightly.
"Oh come on now don't do that," Kikyo said not being one who liked to deal with tears. "I'll see you soon; I'm only going to be in Japan for a couple months. Than I'll fly out to see you, and besides you'll call right when you land right?"
"Of course." Kagome said throwing her arms around her cousin. They stood there embracing until the call for her flight came from the speakers.
"Don't let those Europeans give you any sass." Kikyo said.
She smiled giving her one last hug; "Don't worry I wont."
Kagome reluctantly let go as Kikyo turned to leave, sighing she made her way towards the metal detectors.
--
Sesshoumaru pounded on the door, barely containing his beast as his anger rolled off him in waves.
"What the-" Inuyasha said opening the door.
Sesshoumaru didn't let him get anymore out, snatching the hanyou by the throat he flung him across the room and advanced inside.
"Where's Kagome?" He demanded.
--
Your not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know its you
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
