Second Date, Second Chance.

Chapter 6.

A Joyful moment waited by everyone.

“Are you crazy, Kagome?! How could you accept to go on that date?!” What about Houjo? Ayame told her as she paced up and down Kagome’s dorm and Kagome watched her from her bed, sitting on it, and leaning against the wall.

“Of course I’m not crazy, Aya,” she began calmly. “You know everything I’ve been through this past year as well as I do,” her voice turned pleading. “But understand that I have to do this, please. I have a right to know why he didn’t show up for the date. Why hasn’t he contacted me in all this time?

Ayame stopped suddenly and walked over to Kagome’s bed. She sat on the edge of her bed watching her and took her hand. “Because I know, I’m telling you it’s not a good idea, Kags. What if what he tells you is not what you expected? If that makes you suffer again, I won’t be able to bear it.” A tear peeked out of her left eye.

Kagome squeezed her hand trying to comfort her friend. “I know there’s a chance of that happening, Aya, but I still have to go. I want and need to know everything. I promise to speak to your aunt as soon as I return from the date. Please Aya, understand me.” She told her, while some tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ayame took both of Kagome’s hands in hers and nodded. “He better tell you the whole truth or I swear I’ll kick his ass, even if he’s stronger than me, you hear?” She looked at Kagome and gave her a reassuring smile. While swearing to herself to beat Sesshomaru half to death if he hurt her best friend again.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

The sound of an incoming message notification snapped Kagome out of her thoughts. She sat on her bed and took the cell phone from her nightstand. She gave an annoyed sigh and checked the message, it was from Yuka, a classmate and friend of Houjo’s.

Yuka 😺:

<<<< How could you do this to Houjo?! What kind of person are you?! 🤬

[Received at 9:45 a.m.]

Kagome just sighed. Yuka was the last one to send her a message. All the other friends of her ex-fiancé had already called her and sent hate messages for breaking her engagement with him. And frankly, she was getting tired of it.

Ex fiancé. It was weird to refer to Houjo that way but that was who he was for her now. After all, he was the one who broke off his engagement with Kagome and not her, like all of his friends thought.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

When Kagome told Houjo about what happened with Sesshomaru, she thought that he would understand why she was doing all this. She apparently was wrong.

At first Houjo seemed to understand the situation, but when Kagome finished re-counting what happened and told him that he would go to that date, he was silent for several minutes and then he burst out and reminded her of everything she had suffered because of Sesshomaru. And he told her that she couldn’t go to her date.

“Excuse me, what? I think I didn’t hear you right. Could you repeat the last thing you said?” Kagome looked at him intently from across the table where they were sitting eating.

“You will not go. You can’t go and meet with him. Not after everything that happened.” Houjo told her in a very serious tone. He didn’t raise his voice but Kagome felt as if he had yelled at her.

“You are engaged to me and if you go, it would be the same as being unfaithful.” Kagome gaped at him. It was the first time Houjo had expressed himself like this.

She took a deep breath to calm down and told him. “Houjo, I just want to know what happened, close cycles if necessary. It’s not like anything is going to happen between us. My psychologist told me that it’s important for me to close cycles if I’m going to spend the rest of my life with you, and I think she’s right. So yes, I will go.” She took his hand trying to comfort him but he immediately took it away.

“If you insist on going on that damn date with him, you and I are done, do you understand? We’re done”. There was a note of finality to his voice.

Kagome looked surprised at how Houjo was acting. Was this the real him and she hadn’t realized it? A chill ran down her spine just thinking about her future with him if his personality was truly like that.

She took her purse and took out money to pay for her food portion. She got up and put it on the table with a loud bang. “So be it. You and I are done”. She walked with a sure step to the exit of the café and left.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Just remembering it, she felt chills ran through her body. If that’s how he was when they were only engaged, what would it be like when they were married? Nope, no way would she allow it.

She finished brushing her teeth and brushed her hair. Humming a song while she changed her clothes to go to the market. She texted Ayame good morning and silenced her cell phone, but not before assuring Ayame that she would be fine.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Hours later, Kagome was walking to the entrance of the restaurant. She was glad when she knew it wouldn’t be the same place as the one from the previous failed date. It was one less thing to worry about.

She entered the restaurant and approached the maître d’ station and was surprised by her familiar face. For a few moments she was transported back to the terrible failed event of last year. What if it happens again? What if Sesshomaru doesn’t show up again?

She took a deep breath trying to calm herself as she walked towards her. When she arrived with the maître d’, she told her, “I have a reservation for two people under the name of Sesshomaru Taisho.”

The maître d’ asked for her name to verify her reservation. Kagome clenched both hands on her wallet and braced herself in case the maître d’ told her there was no one waiting. The maître d’ smiled and told her that her party was waiting for her already, to which Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t realize when she held her breath.

“One of our servers will escort you to your table,” the maître d’ told her, waving to one of the servers. “Please accompany the young lady to her table. She’ll be in the cherry blossoms private room.” The waiter nodded and asked Kagome to join him. “I hope you like our food. Enjoy your evening.”

Kagome thanked her and followed the waiter. Her heart was beating rapidly and she was nervous. Sesshomaru was here. This time he did show up to the date. When she got to the room where their dinner would be, Kagome took another deep breath. She had to calm down, she couldn’t go in and see Sesshomaru feeling like that. When she was ready, she motioned for the waiter to open the door and went inside after thanking him.

Sesshomaru was waiting for her, standing next to the table. He looked so elegant with what he was wearing. He was wearing a three-piece suit, all in black. Handsome and elegant. They were the two words Kagome used to describe Sesshomaru in her head.

She moved closer to him and extended a hand in greeting but Sesshomaru instead of giving her a shake in greeting, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

Kagome blushed when Sesshomaru told her, “You look as beautiful as the last day I saw you.” In his voice was reflected, could it be? Could she called it, yearning?

Kagome felt her face burn. Her heart wouldn’t stop beating so fast that she thought it would crack her ribs and run out of her chest. But her hand was still raised in Sesshomaru’s, near his mouth.

“And you too”. She told him, giving him a small smile. What else could she say? Her mind went blank as she felt Sesshomaru’s lips kiss her skin.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

When Sesshomaru saw Kagome walk in, he had to rest a hand on the table to keep from falling down. Kagome looked so beautiful in that strapless black dress and that low neckline. God, he wanted to run his tongue between her breasts and run her tongue all over her cleavage. Calm down Sesshomaru, it’s still too early for that.

She wore her hair up and had a rhinestone choker on her neck. He wondered what material it was made of and if it would withstand him biting it off her neck. Control your thoughts Sesshomaru, it’s not time yet.

Just looking at her made him have M- rated thoughts. It’s just that all her was beautiful no matter what she was wearing.

When she took her hand in greeting, he felt that electric current again. He was even more determined, he would win Kagome’s heart no matter what. He would move heaven, sea and earth as long as Kagome accepted him. He would fight anyone to get her. If he had to kidnap her, he would. She was worth all that and more.

God, it felt so good to touch her skin with his lips, he would have wanted to kiss her mouth at that moment but he would settle for kissing her hand for now. If all went well he might have the chance to kiss her on the cheek or on her mouth if he stole a kiss from her.

As Kagome blushed, Sesshomaru felt his heart beating a mile a minute and when she smiled at him, he imagined for a moment that he was a puppy wagging his tail when his mistress gave it a little pat. He could almost feel himself rumbling.

He cleared his throat and indicated her that they could sit down to begin the evening. He pulled out Kagome’s chair so she could sit down. When she did, he pulled her closer to the table. Kagome thanked him and he sat in his chair.

The waiter in charge of them approached and offered them a glass of white wine to which they both nodded in response. He asked them if they wanted to order now or wait a little longer. They ordered at that moment and the waiter left to hand over their orders.

When the two were left alone, Sesshomaru thought about where he should start his explanation. He chose to tell her everything from the beginning.

He told her that he came from a military family. His grandfather had been a Colonel in the army and his father was a General Major in the army. And he himself, was a Master Sergeant in the army, under his father’s orders.

He told her what he was doing at that party, about his half brother and his sister who was the one who organized the party for his half brother before he went to the army. He told her that he had arrived in the city two days back after being absent since he was stationed at another military base in another state.

The waiter interrupted them when he opened the door and apologized for the delay. He put their food on the table and told them that if they needed anything else, to feel free to touch the little button on the wall and he would come immediately to serve them. He wished them bon appetite and he left.

When they were alone again, Sesshomaru suggested to Kagome to eat something before he continued with the story. Kagome nodded and the two began to eat. From time to time, Kagome would turn to see Sesshomaru but when he felt her gaze and turned to look at her, she would turn to her food and continue eating. Sometimes it was the other way around, and Sesshomaru was the one who turned to see her and when Kagome felt her gaze and turned to see him, he kept his gaze fixed on her.

“You are really beautiful Kagome.” Kagome blushed and thanked him. She took a sip from her wine and continued eating. When they were done, Sesshomaru continued with his story.

He told her how he received a call from his father on that Friday night after he sent her the last message. His father came for him by helicopter and took him to the military base. During the helicopter ride, his father informed him of the situation and when they arrived at the military base, his father took his cell phone because he couldn’t risk someone hacking into their cell phones and finding out about the mission

He told her everything he was allowed to say about the mission. He told her that several times he tried to get hold of a cell phone to talk to her, but they kept an eye on him so well that as soon as he had one in his possession, someone would block it and take it away, destroying it right then and there. He saw Kagome’s face change her expression as he explained.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Hearing Sesshomaru’s explanation, Kagome felt a lot of anger but not towards him, but towards his father. If he’d just given Sesshomaru a few minutes to call her, she wouldn’t have suffered everything she’d suffered over the past year. Neither she would have been with another man.

She would have waited for him as long as it took. And to think that she suffered so much because of just one person. But as the saying goes, if wishes were horses, so she would have to accept the fact that Sesshomaru was in the military if she wanted to be with him.

Sesshomaru told her that he had a very difficult time being apart from her that year, and without him being able to contact her and explain what was happening. He felt so worthless not being able to do anything to reassure her that he hadn’t forgotten her and that he still thought of her every day.

“God”. He ran a hand through her hair and said. “Kagome, I swear I never stopped thinking about you, not a single day went by that I didn’t think about you. On many occasions I asked my father to allow me to talk to you, that I wanted to assure you that I was fine and that I did not abandon you, but my father denied me permission to call you.”

“It’s not his fault, because the mission required it. Although many times I blamed him.” He breathed out in frustration. “If only I had talked to you, you wouldn’t be engaged to another man right now. You would not be about to marry someone else and right now you would be in my arms.” His voice cracked at the end, as if he was on the verge of crying.

“I’m not engaged”. She told him, but apparently Sesshomaru didn’t hear her because he kept talking. When he finally processed what she told him, he looked at her suddenly. “Wait, what?”

Sesshomaru’s shocked face made Kagome laugh a little. “That I am no longer engaged. I am free to do and be with whoever I want.”

Kagome watched as Sesshomaru pinched his arm and the face he made. “I am not dreaming. You’re really not engaged to him anymore.”

She shook her head at the same time she said, “nope. Not anymore. I broke off my engagement with him just yesterday. We are no longer together.”

She barely finished saying that when Sesshomaru got up and approached her, taking her by her hands, he helped her stand up and hugged her. His hug felt so good, it was better than she remembered. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes enjoying her closeness.

God, he smelled so good that she wanted to know if his whole body smelled like that or it was just near her nose. Kagome pulled back a little to look at Sesshomaru, and he in turn looked down at her. They lost themselves in each other’s gazes for a few moments until Sesshomaru leaned in a little closer to kiss her.

At first it was a slow kiss and a little shy, but the more they kissed, the more Kagome wanted. She opened her mouth to deepen the kiss and she felt Sesshomaru insert his tongue into hers to taste her better. That kiss turned wild, they fought to dominate the other and in the end Sesshomaru emerged victorious. He moved her until they were leaning against the wall.

Kagome gladly allowed herself to be won. Sesshomaru kissed so well. His hands ran over her waist and back. Once her fingers brushed against the bottom of her breasts, and Kagome gasped in surprise, wanting him to touch her even more.

How will his hands feel on my naked body? How will his tongue feel when he penetrates me with it? When he licks my clit? Oh my God, Kagome! What things are you thinking? She scolded herself for thinking that way. But she couldn’t help but think like that when Sesshomaru caressed her and kissed her like that.

Their kiss seemed endless and she was fine with it. She knew that she needed to breathe but at that moment she thought, who needs to breathe? That is overrated. She ran her hands behind his neck and continued to kiss him.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Sesshomaru stopped the kiss for a moment and when he did, they both took a quick breath and kissed again, only this time, their kiss was wilder and hungrier. His manhood was growing and it was getting harder. Their hands went as far as they could. One of his hands ran down Kagome’s leg where the slit of her dress was. Her skin was so silky that he felt his manhood harden even more and she wanted Kagome to feel it too.

So he lifted her leg that he was stroking and wrapped it around his waist, pulling Kagome closer to him, so that she could feel what she was doing to him.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Kagome gasped in surprise, accompanied by a moan as Sesshomaru pulled her closer to his manhood. Heavens, he was so big she couldn’t help but imagine what it would feel like to have him inside her.

Kagome did her best to feel closer to Sesshomaru. The difference in their height was proving that going through with it would be difficult. Her other leg barely touched the ground and her heels didn’t help much. Though she was sure Sesshomaru could easily find a way for them to keep doing it. She was not going to deny it, she wanted him so much at that moment, that if he asked her, she would let him make love to her right then and there.

Sesshomaru lowered her leg to the ground again and focused on kissing her. Kagome felt Sesshomaru kiss her behind her ear and he lightly stopped on her neck. He tugged on her choker with what she assumed were his teeth, as if wanting to break it, but seeing that it didn’t budge, his mouth lowered to her shoulder, getting closer and closer to her chest. Kisses, small bites, and licks made their way on Kagome’s upper body. When she felt Sesshomaru reach the bottom of her cleavage, she held her breath, waiting for him to push the neckline of her dress out of the way and to the side of her so he could kiss her breasts.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

They completely forgot that they were in a public place, but the waiter reminded them when he walked in and saw them, one might say, busy with each other.

He cleared his throat and that alerted them. They both separated quickly, their breaths still agitated by what they were doing just seconds before.

They both apologized with their faces flushed, not because of what they did because they didn’t feel they did something wrong, but because they were caught red-handed.

They thanked the waiter and left the place holding hands and chuckling, as if they were keeping some secret and only they knew.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

A year later on the WEXA radio station, a host of the most famous program of the moment was successfully celebrating his second year of winning the award for the most listened to program on primetime radio.

A few small taps on the glass of the cabin alerted him to the entrance of his boss.

“You have to read this. It is an email and it is addressed to the entire production team of our program, ”he told him while waving a sheet of paper with something written on it in his right hand. A huge smile was drawn on his face.

Alex Santiago took the sheet of paper and began to read the email. As he read, a smile spread across his face, growing bigger the more he read.

When he had finished reading it he began to laugh. “Oh my God! We have to read it on the show. The radio listeners will want to know the good news.”

The producer agreed and left him to prepare for the show.

Ten minutes later the program started.

*You are tuning in to WEXA. The most popular music station of the moment.*

*And this is your program, “The Rhythm of Music”. A program specially made for people who like music regardless of its genre*.

*I am your radio host Alex Santiago and today we have two very good news for you that I am sure will be to your entire liking.*

*First news: as you know, we are celebrating another anniversary of the radio station and just yesterday we received the award for “The most listened to program” on primetime radio for two years in a row. Thank you to all of our radio listeners for making this possible.*

*And the second good news which I’m sure many of you have been waiting for a long time. And not only you, but also all of us in the production team of the program.*

*Half an hour ago we received an email from one of our radio listeners and we want to share it with all of you.*

*”Dear members of the production of the program “The Rhythm of Music”, you may not remember us but we do remember you. Because thanks to you my fiancé and I were able to meet again and be happy.”*

*”A year and a month ago, but who counts, right?”* Reading this, Alex laughs a little because he remembered very well where he had heard that.

*”You accepted a call from a guy and helped him ask a girl, which he had left waiting for him in what would be their first date a year before last, and offered their help to talk to her and explain why he didn’t show up to their date.”*

*”Well, let me tell you that that guy and that girl are us and thanks to your help is that we are now together. We are engaged and will be getting married in six months and the entire production team is invited to the wedding as a thank you for your help.”*

*”Thank you again for what you did for us. We will be grateful to you for a lifetime. Sincerely, Kagome Higurashi and Sesshomaru Taisho.”*

*There you have it, listening friends. The couple that all of you and we, wanted to know about sent us this email. Sesshomaru and Kagome, if you are listening to us right now, we want to say, congratulations on your engagement and your upcoming wedding. And thank you for making us part of this beautiful story. We will be delighted to attend your wedding. Feel free to send us your wedding invitation whenever you like.*

*And now, some messages from our sponsors and upon return, more music with the song “Dirty Thoughts” by Gracie Adams featuring Nationhaven and “Eclipse (All Yours)” by Metric.*

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Second Date, Second Chance.

Chapter 5.

Trust that everything will be alright.

*You are tuning in to WEXA. The most popular music station of the moment.*

*And this is your program, “The Rhythm of Music”. A program specially made for people who likes music regardless of its genre.*

*I’m your radio host Alex Santiago and today we will have a special segment called “Second Date”.*

*Did you go on a first date with that person you found special and want to ask for a second date? Don’t worry, we’ll help you.*

*Or did you have a first date that you thought was unforgettable but for some reason you didn’t get a second one? We can help you with that too.*

*All radio listeners who call will enter a raffle for an all-included romantic dinner at the “Marseillaise” restaurant. A limousine will pick you up and your companion at your home and take you to your destination.*

*Good luck to all.*

*Let’s start the program with two songs that I believe, without fear of being wrong, are the favorites of many. After these songs we will start with the segment “The Second Date”. So get ready, radio listening friends.*

*And here they are, for all of you, Elley Duhé with “Middle of the Night” followed by Dua Lipa with “Levitating”.*

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

“I’m sorry Jack, you are very nice and attractive but the truth is that your real date shouldn’t have been with me.”

“I don’t understand Sophia, what do you mean by that? Was I a joke or a dare that your friends asked you to do?”

“Calm down Jack, remember you’re on air. I’m sure Sophia has a good explanation for what she just said. Isn’t that right, Sophia?”

“That’s right, Alex. Jack, the truth is that the one who should have been on that date with you is my sister Rose and not me. Rose had an accident and now she is at home convalescing. She asked me to take her place because we look alike and most of our acquaintances say we could pass for twins. Since it would only be once because she would show up at the next date, I agreed to go in her place. But you’re very nice and cute and you don’t deserve to be lied to, that’s why I’m telling you the truth now. I’m sorry Jack, really.”

“Well Jack, there you have it. I’m sorry that was the answer you got.”

“Don’t worry Alex, I wanted an answer and I got it. Thanks for the help. Goodbye”.

*Now a few messages from our sponsors and when we return more music with Shakira and BZRP, “Music Sessions #53, and Reik featuring Rusherking, “A mi Lado”.*

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

*Welcome back to all our radio listeners to this your program “The Rhythm of Music”. For those of you who are just joining us right now, I am your radio host Alex Santiago and today we have a very special program because we have a segment called “Second Date”.*

*We already heard several of our radio listeners telling us about their first dates and their reason for wanting to go on a second. Some were successful and others not so much.*

*Now we have here one more radio listener who wants to tell us his story and why he wants a second date.*

“Go ahead pal, you’re on air.”

“First of all, thank you for accepting my call. Unlike the people who called to ask you for help on a second date, I’m not the one who wants to ask for a second date, I’m the one who didn’t show up for the date. But it is not the second one but the first one”.

Alex was shocked by what this guy was saying but he didn’t say anything and let him continue.

“I’m a sergeant in the ******* army, and on the day that was supposed to be our first date, I was called to the military base for an emergency. A helicopter came for me and I headed to my destination. I was out of the country for a year and just returned yesterday. I was unable to communicate with anyone for reasons I cannot discuss on air. But in all this time I never stopped thinking about her for a single moment. I have been longing to see her again and explain to her the reason for my absence.”

“I understand. First of all, thank you for your service. But explain to me better, are you in love with her? How did the both of you meet? Is it something you can tell us?”

“We met at my half brother’s farewell party. My younger sister organized it and invited my half brother’s friends and her friends. I didn’t know there would be a party because I hadn’t been there in a while and just arrived a couple of days back because I had a vacation permit. So during the party I would be on the second floor of the house and the party would take place on the first floor.”

“Everything was going well. I wouldn’t have to interact with anyone if I didn’t want to. About an hour after the party started, while I was in the studio library, the most beautiful being I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and will meet in my entire life entered.”

“She was perfect”, he laughed a little and continued. “She is perfect. When she entered, she was amazed by all the books on the shelves and immediately went over to look at them.

At first I was upset because no one should be in that part of the house. But seeing her get so excited about the books my annoyance passed and gave way to fun watching how she looked like a little girl in a candy store. She thought aloud when she read the names of the books that I couldn’t resist anymore and spoke up to let her know that she wasn’t alone there.”

“Her reaction was so lovely. She gave a little jump and a little scream. When she turned to look at me, God, I felt the ground move. I was completely blown away. As cheesy as it sounds, it was love at first sight. I decided right then and there that she would be my wife and the mother of my children. When I introduced myself and extended my hand to greet her, I felt an electric current go through my whole body and apparently she felt it too because her eyes widened and she immediately removed her hand from mine”.

“I tried to start a conversation with her but she was very nervous and only gave me short answers. So I thought that talking about books would be a good excuse to talk and get to know each other better.”

“It was a good idea because it gave us the opportunity to talk not only about books but also about ourselves and get to know each other better. Everything she told me seemed interesting to me. All of her is interesting.”

“We spent the whole night until the morning of the next day talking. At no time did I feel that we lacked topics to talk about. That same morning we kissed for the first time and God! It was magical! I felt it in my whole being. We only kissed but I felt like we had connected more intimately than if we had made love.”

“To have left her side without us having the opportunity to start a relationship devastated me enormously. The only thing that motivated me to continue and keep doing my work was the fact that when it was finished, I would be able to see her again. I can only imagine how it affected her the fact that I left without telling her.”

“That’s why I dared to call your program. I want to talk to her and explain what happened. I have not dared to call her for fear that she will hang up on me or that she won’t know who I am and does not answer me. My cell phone number changed when I left but hers is engraved in my memory.”

“If you could help me with this I would be eternally grateful.”

“Oh wow. It is a story that frankly I did not expect. But of course my team and I will help you in whatever way we can”.

The producer signaled to Alex and he nodded in understanding.

“My producer has the cell phone number you gave him at the beginning of your call and he is dialing it right now. But tell me your name first and her name.”

“My name is Sesshomaru Taisho and her name is Kagome Higurashi.”

There was the sound of a phone ringing and a girl’s voice answering the call.

“Yes, hello?”

“Hello, good afternoon. Could I speak to Miss Kagome Higurashi please?”

“This is her. Who do I have the pleasure of talking to?”

“My name is Alex Santiago and I’m calling from WEXA radio station. This is the radio program, “The Rhythm of Music”. How have you been?”

“Um, fine? Sorry, I have no idea what’s the reason for your call and I’m a little confused about it. It is not common to receive these types of calls.” She laughed nervously.

“Of course, my apologies. First of all, do you have a few minutes to talk? I would like to explain to you the reason for my call and I would like you to listen to me until the end. As I said before, I am from a radio program and it will be on air.

“Yes of course. Please continue”.

“Today we have a special segment in the program called “Second Date” and radio listeners call us asking for help. We help them talk to the people they had their first date with and find out if they want to go on a second one.”

“I imagine that with this, you get an idea as to the reason for my call. I have a person on the other end of the call who would like to ask you on a date. This person told us that you and him met at his half-brother’s farewell party and that you spent the whole night talking and getting to know each other better on the second floor of the house where the party was held."

On the other end of the call, they heard Kagome gasping in surprise.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Kagome gasped in surprise and brought a hand to her mouth. Her breathing became agitated. She had to get to her dorm as soon as possible. She ran to her dorm door and opened it. She hurriedly got in and locked it.

She had to sit down because her legs couldn’t hold her anymore. She ran to her bed and sat down. She took a deep breath and asked, “How do you know about that?”

The radio host of the show said, “You can call me Alex, Kagome. I don’t just know that. I also know that it was love at first sight for both of you and that you are soul mates. After all, he hasn’t been able to forget you in all this time.”

“He? What do you mean by 'he'?”

“I’m talking about Sesshomaru, Kagome.” Alex said.

Kagome squeezed her cell phone as a tear rolled down her cheek. “How…” She cleared her throat. She felt a huge lump there and struggled to swallow. “How do you know his name, Alex?”

“Because he’s on the other end of the line and he wants to talk to you.”

Kagome, it’s me. Sesshomaru.” A small sob was heard on the other end of the call.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

In the radio station booth where the program was taking place, both the producer and the assistants and Alex himself were completely silent. What should be done in these cases? Stay on air or let them continue in private?

Alex turned to his producer to see if he should continue on air or let them talk in private. The producer signaled for him to continue on air. Alex nodded and continued to pay attention to the conversation. He was willing to help them if necessary.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

“Se-Sesshomaru.” Before Kagome could say anything else, Sesshomaru cut her off. “I know this may be sudden but I’d like to talk to you, Kagome.”

“Why now Sesshomaru? Where have you been all this time? Why didn’t you show up for our date?” Kagome asked him, squeezing his phone a little with one hand while the other gripped the edge of her bed in an attempt to stay calm.

“That’s why I want to see you and talk to you, Kagome. I want to explain everything that happened, the reason for my absence and why I didn’t show up for our date that day a year ago”.

“A year and two weeks ago. But who counts the time, right?” She knew she was being a bit sarcastic but she couldn’t help it.

Sesshomaru sighed. “You are right, one year and two weeks. Please allow me to explain everything, Kagome.” His voice was pleading.

“Sesshomaru, I…” her voice cracked a little. “Many things have happened since you left.” She took a deep breath, preparing herself to tell him what happened in his absence.

“When you didn’t show up for our date,” she began. “I thought maybe there was a good reason why you didn’t show up. I waited for you for more than three hours at that place. I don’t even know why I waited so long for you.” She giggled a little, running a hand through her hair. “Then I went home. While there, I replayed the events leading up to the failed date in my head over and over and over again.”

“The next day I did not show up for work. I knew I couldn’t work like this and I slept all day. That was the first time I had nightmares. As the days passed they became more frequent. I could hardly sleep, not to mention eat, I was hardly hungry. I was like this for a couple of months. By then, it was so bad that my best friend had to do an emergency intervention to help me. I was self-destructing and I hadn’t realized it”.

“I went to therapy with a psychologist and was diagnosed with mild depression. They gave me treatment and with the help of my loved ones I managed to get out of it.” She finished with a sigh.

“I’m so sorry you went through that because of me, Kagome. Just, let me explain everything that happened. Why I left without telling you anything.” Sesshomaru told her in a pleading tone.

Kagome was about to reply when Alex interrupted them. “Kagome, the production of the show and I, would like to give you guys a chance to talk calmly and in private. I think the two of you deserve to clear things up between you. The ending will be decided by the two of you, but I honestly think it’s worth hearing what Sesshomaru has to say.”

“So we decided to give you guys a dinner date at an exclusive restaurant, all paid for of course. Limousine transportation included. You just have to accept to talk to Sesshomaru,” Alex concluded.

“There is something else you need to know before I give you my answer, Sesshomaru.” Kagome was nervous but she didn’t want to lie to him so she told him the truth. “I am in a relationship with someone, Sesshomaru. He is a good guy and he helped me a lot. When I needed it most, he was there. I’m actually engaged to him. Just a week ago we got engaged and I don’t think it’s right for you and me to go on a date.”

Kagome wanted to accept the invitation, she really did. She needed to know what really happened, but she was afraid that her feelings for him might be reflected in her eyes when the two of them were finally facing each other.

“Give Sesshomaru a chance to explain everything to you, Kagome. I assure you that you will not regret it. Just tell your boyfriend that it’s important that you talk to him.” Alex intervened before either of them could say anything else. The producer gave him the good job sign with both of his hands.

“Kagome. I don’t care that you’re engaged. I still want to talk to you. Please just say yes.” Sesshomaru begged.

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

Sesshomaru felt like he was floating on clouds as he heard Kagome speak after not hearing her voice in a long time.

He thought that perhaps she had changed her cell phone number but he was glad when he saw that she hadn’t. That meant he had a chance to talk to her.

The feeling of floating among the clouds was diminishing at Kagome’s words. She had suffered because of him, of that he was sure. He felt his heart clench as Kagome told him everything she had been through.

If only he had had time to tell her, to explain why he would not show up. But his father did not give in, he didn’t give him permission to make a call or send at least a message explaining why he would not show up for the date. If he had done it, things wouldn’t be the way they are right now. Kagome wouldn’t have suffered so much because of him and she wouldn’t be engaged to another man.

He cursed his father in every language he knew. Thanks to him, his life was turned upside down. If he couldn’t convince Kagome to talk to him and clear everything up, he’d beat him to a pulp regardless of whether he was his father.

He felt how his heart had broken when Kagome told him that she was engaged to someone else. But he would not give up. She wasn’t married to her fiancé yet, so he still had a chance to do something. And he definitely would, even if it meant involving his father to do it.

He listened as Kagome sighed, and held his breath. Kagome had to agree to that date. He asked the heavens for a chance to make things right. That was all he needed, to be able to talk to her, he would take care of the rest.

“Alright. I agreed to go on that date, but I swear to God if you don’t show up you won’t hear from me again, Sesshomaru.” She said it with a tone of finality.

Sesshomaru's heart lurched in his chest. She said yes. She had said yes. He turned his gaze to the sky and thanked for the opportunity.

“Thank you Kagome. I promise you will not regret anything. I won’t let you down, I swear.”

~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~•~~~•~~~~

At the radio station everyone was celebrating Sesshomaru's success. They didn’t know him and yet they wanted it to work between him and Kagome.

“I’m glad you agreed to give Sesshomaru a chance, Kagome. The both of you deserve to clear things up and be happy.” He straightened up in his chair and continued speaking. “My producer will talk to you about the details of your dinner date. Thank you very much for calling the show and allowing us to help you, Sesshomaru. And thank you Kagome, for agreeing to talk to him.”

The two thanked him in the same way and were transferred to talk to the producer of the program to finish up the details of where their date would be.

On the other side of the production booth, Alex Santiago ended the program with more music.

TBC.
