I had to reread this story to see where i was going to take it and noticed some areas that needed a little retouching, i might revise some things, but overall enjoy the chapter.
A black limousine pulled up in front of a large manor but the young woman inside did not have a chance to marvel at its beauty. Instead she was fast asleep on the leather seat, which were wet from her silent tears. Touga got out glancing back at his son Sesshomaru who picked Kagome up bridal style and careful carried her up the stone steps.
Once inside, Touga dismissed the maids that had been working late overnight until he had come home. Sesshomaru was escorted to the room that she was to stay in. it was still being accommodated for her but the bed was complete, at least. He leaned to place her down on the bed but Kagome's hand tightened on his chest and she curled into his arms. She then muttered, rolling gently onto the mattress.
As the soft sheets hit her back, Kagome jerked up with sleep clouding her vision. She glanced up at Sesshomaru, her eyes literally red from crying and exhaustion. The soft muted colors of the room reminded her that she was in her room now instead of the limo. She muttered a 'thank you' not looking at Sesshomaru as she turned the other way and stared at the wall. Apparently she was too wrecked to get a good night's sleep.
Sesshomaru saw this and asked. "Is there anything you need?"
Kagome cringed at how nice he was being to her. Sesshomaru Tashio was not nice…ever. From what she heard he would run over a homeless dog without even looking back. And that day when she first met him he didn't even acknowledge her. He just walked straight out the room.
"Why are you being nice to me?" She asked barely in a whisper. "You don't even like me"
He didn't answer her but he didn't have any reason whatsoever to dislike her. That day when she visited his father's manor with Inuyasha, Sesshomaru acted out of habit, he rarely spoke to anyone unless he needed to. He continued staring at Kagome, her pout lips and puffy red eyes. Sesshomaru was not familiar with such trivial emotions, but…he understood betrayal.
Kagome looked back at Sesshomaru and he was just staring at her. He was only being nice to her because he felt pity for her. She didn't need his pity or any one else's.
"Get out" her temper suddenly flaring back to life.
"Excuse me?" He said tilting an eyebrow suddenly annoyed at her unexpected anger.
"You heard me; I don't need your damn sympathy!" She wanted to be told that everything was going to be all right, she wanted to be held and loved. Before she knew it her vision blurred and she viciously wiped the tears from her eyes. "Just get out…please"
She thinks I pity her? He leaned down close to her ear. "I would never pity you" He cupped her cheek staring straight into her cerulean orbs. "You have a strong heart Kagome, you will get pass Inuyasha and continue with your life"
She was speechless and uncomfortable. Sesshomaru was trying to comfort her. She rubbed her arms looking away from him. Why is he being nice to me…
"look, I just…I just need to rest some more before I go and pick up my things tomorrow" Kagome leaned back against the bed.
"My father has decided to accompany you in the morning"
She abruptly refused. "I don't need a chauffeur"
"He will not take no for an answer, Inuyasha might still be there and my father doesn't want him to do anything else stupid"
Kagome sighed and nodded, desperately wanting an aspirin for her headache. When Kagome looked back up at the door, Sesshomaru was gone and the door was closed. She didn't move from the bed, staring at the soft colored wall. Her life was crashing all around her in one night. She loved Inuyasha and he repaid all of her kindness and love by sleeping with Kikyo. How long had it been going on? Did he have the nerve to ask for her hand in marriage with Kikyo on the sidelines?
And her family? They felt completely dead to her. There was no way she could forgive them of what they did. Kagome's first thought was to go back to California, anyplace that could make her forget her current life, but Kagome wasn't a runner. She was going to stay in Japan and live her new life.
To cool her heating body, Kagome decided to take a shower. She relaxed underneath the warm wet showers, trying hard to ignore the pain in her chest. It would be a long time before she could love someone else, Inuyasha definitely ruined the thought of love for her. She couldn't trust anyone anymore.
After her shower, Kagome dressed her hair in a loose ponytail and pulled on a long shirt that stopped to her knees. She crawled into bed and laid there, sleep didn't come easy but when it did, Kagome fell into a deep sleep.

She sighed heavily as she looked outside the window at the shrine. The somewhat large home she had spent most of her life at seemed to be wrapped by a transparent mist of sadness and shame. The clouds outside were dark and moving at an accelerated pace, the light rumbling that shook the earth warned that there was a storm on the way. Japan didn't have many storms and when there was one approaching it was hard and cruel on the large city of Yokohama.
Kagome placed her trembling hand in her lap. She refused to let the tears fall from her eyes. It was not her fault she was feeling this way, if she wanted to blame someone she would blame her parents, Inuyasha and Kikyo. When she had left with Touga last night he basically said she could live there with him for however long she wanted. He told her that Inuyasha would not be allowed in the house when she was there and if she had any problems out of him, to let him know.
A drizzle of rain hit the windshield and she looked again at the shrine. Pushed with determination, She unbuckled her seat belt and grabbed the door handle. A warm hand grasped her arm and she turned, Touga's bright golden hued eyes stared at her in concern.
"Would you like for me to come with you" He said.
Kagome was a bout to say yes but she just wanted to get things over and done with then she will have to start on her new life straight away. Plus she only had a few things she had brought from California.
She shook her head. "I don't have a lot, so it's fine"
He nodded and flipped out his phone. Kagome opened the door and stepped out. She hurried along the path, out of the slight rain. The spare key was still hiding under the flower pot since she left. Kagome carefully stepped inside the empty hallway; she figured every one was in the kitchen. The smell of eggs and fried sausages filled her nose. She took off her heels and jumped up the stairs, her small feet made no noise on the hard floor.
Kagome made a beeline to her closet pulling out her large suitcase, yanking her clothes off the hangers and tossed them in the case. After ten minutes she had basically stuffed her shoes, clothes, some of her jewelry and other small things in the case and zipped it up. She looked around for anything that was missing. Knowing that she didn't she literally had to drag the case to the door. The edges of the case made loud noises as it dragged along the flooring.
She didn't want them to know she was here. She silently prayed that they hadn't heard her but the silence downstairs told her other wise. Since she was discovered she dragged the case down stairs. The loud banging noise echoing through the walls and rushed clatter of feet sounded behind her. Once she was at the door, Kagome paid no mind to the two figures behind her. She opened the door and moved the suit case out.
"Kagome" her mother's voice rang out. She could hear the sadness in her mother's voice.
A feeling crept over Kagome's body and her mind spoke words to her. 'Keep moving' it said and Kagome realized that with all the anger in her, she didn't care about her mother's sadness. A large hand gripped the case and Kagome stiffened. It was Koru, Her father's dark hair was messy and his eyes were a bit droopy as if he had stayed up all night. He walked to the trunk of the car and placed her suit case inside. Touga said a minimal hello to him as she walked up to the car and slid into the passenger seat.
She didn't dare look into the review mirror or she would've saw Koru breaking down in the middle of the road. The entire ride back home, Kagome rode in silence.
