My first attempt at a fanfic in English. I have this fic completed in Spanish on Wattpad, but I thought, why not write it in English too, and lo and behold, here it is. While the original one is a two-shot, I decided to break those two chapters into more so it's easier for me here.

Credits to the image goes to my dear friend IviiD.

Prologue.

It was a Thursday around seven at night. Kagome had been invited to her friend's friend's brother's party.

At first Kagome wasn't sure she wanted to go to a party where she wouldn't know anyone except her friend. Since she had the habit of leaving her behind when she found a guy to hang out with. She didn't always do it, since her friend's tastes in boys were very demanding and not just any boy fit the requirements on her specific list.

Although she wasn't sure about going to that party, she decided at the last minute that she would go. There would be no school the next day because it was a holiday, so she will have the day off, plus the weekend to study and finish the homework that was due on Monday.

Her classes from university weren't that difficult, since it was her first year, she chose to choose general classes for the first semester and that way she could get used to university life without being too stressed.

She worked part time at the coffeehouse "The Dollar of the Sea” from Thursday to Sunday. Although if someone was absent or her boss needed more help and she needed more money, she would agree to work overtime. The help wasn’t bad for either of them, so it was a win-win situation for the both of them. At first, she didn’t understand the name of the cafe, for they were not near the sea or lived in a port area. Until her boss explained that it was a mockery of the big coffeehouse chains. Since he and the owner of those chains had been colleagues before that cafe became famous. But apparently something very serious happened between them that caused them to separate and end their business association and her boss to lose the coffeehouse. Kagome didn't want to ask any more, her boss would tell her when he was ready to do it.

Kagome sent a text message to her friend saying that she accepted her invitation to go to that party and for her to send her the address of where the party will be.

Kagome got ready for the party. She didn't know if there would be a dress code or not. She hoped there wasn't because she didn't have anything formal with her. Some of her clothes, her formal ones, she left in her bedroom closet at her parents' house, when she moved into the university dorms. She searched her closet for something simple and beautiful that she could wear. She didn't do it to please anyone, but still she wanted to look good for herself. She opted for a white spaghetti strap crop top, a white mini skirt with a black belt, a jean jacket and white sneakers. She opted for crescent moon earrings as her only jewelry and a natural makeup for her.

When she arrived at the party, she texted her friend to notify her of her arrival and she received a "👍" as a response. Followed by another text that said, “I’m where the drinks are”. Kagome sighed, that just meant that she was in the kitchen of the house. She rang the doorbell and a brown haired girl opened the door for her and told her to enjoy the party and where the drinks were. Kagome thanked her and headed off to find her friend.

She did find her in the kitchen but from the way she was whispering in the ear of a tall black haired boy, she was busy. So she decided to wave her hand at her from afar and signal that she would be around.

The house was quite large, three stories, but the third and part of the second story were closed to partygoers. There would be no problem. It's not like she wanted to see what was beyond the allowed zone. Well, the truth was that she did want to see. What could she do? She was curious by nature. Walking through the second floor she found a door ajar. She leaned out through the door and saw that it was a library.

"Wow," Kagome whispered as she entered the library and saw the shelves of books. There was a living room set on one side, a desk with its respective chair on the other side of it. She turned her face up and saw a second floor filled with more shelves of books.

"Cool". She murmured as she walked over to one of the bookshelves closest to her. She ran her hand over the titles of the books, amazed that there were so many titles from different well-known authors. And others that she had no idea who they might be.

“Shakespeare, William”. She said as she took the book and checked the title. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, she read aloud to herself and opened the book.

"Manatsu no Yoru no Yome". A voice was heard behind her, while footsteps were heard going down the narrow spiral staircase that connected to the second floor of the library.

Kagome gave a small cry and nearly dropped the book in surprise. She immediately turned around and saw a tall, fair-skinned man with long silver hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a long-sleeved black shirt. As he got closer to where she was, she noted how tall the man was. He easily towered over him by far. Not that she was tall per se. With her meager 5’2” height, anyone could easily pass her. Oh my God! This man is very attractive! Her inner self kept screaming and fangirling like some groupie from a famous pop music group.

Kagome put a hand to her chest to steady herself. She felt her face starting to heat up. Oh great. Now he’ll know that I blushed. She was beginning to ramble when a throat clearing brought her back to the present.

"Sorry if I surprised you. It wasn’t my intention". He said as he focused his gaze on the books he had in front of him, and watched her out of the corner of his eye. She was so beautiful with her pitch black hair, white skin and those legs that would definitely look better around his waist as he made love to her. Whoa! Where did that thought come from? Never before had a woman awakened in him those kinds of thoughts just by looking at her. He had one-night stands and the odd relationship, though the latter were during his high school days.

"No problem", she laughed a little embarrassed. "Not that I should be here in the first place," she said while glancing to the side.

"Don't worry. You can be here as long as you want. I wouldn't mind the company." He told her looking at her again. The girl had beautiful blue eyes that invited you to get lost in them. Could he be any cheesier?

Hearing his words Kagome turned her gaze to him. And she was met with golden eyes so beautiful it hurt to look at them. Really Kagome? All you need to do is write him a poem. She rolled her eyes in her mind.

She shifted her gaze from him to the book in her hands and began to leaf through it. It was written in English. Not that she had any problem with the language as she knew it very well. She took intensive English courses when she was in middle school since many tourists used to visit her family's temple and she was the one who attended them.

Shakespearean English. Hang on a minute. She closed the book and reopened it to the first page. "1916". Oh my God, that book was old. Kagome had only read the one available in her school's library and it was a PDF version, so owning such a book must have cost quite a lot.

"Not so much. It is a secondhand book. But its value is more sentimental than anything else." Kagome heard the man next to her say.

Did I say it out loud?

"You did. And you keep doing it." He chuckled. Kagome felt her face burn more than before, she surely had blushed a lot more than before.

Sesshomaru decided to take pity on her and changed the subject. Extending her hand in greeting, he said, "My name is Sesshomaru Taisho, and yours?"

“My name is Kagome Higurashi. Nice to meet you, Sesshomaru,” she told him, giving him her hand in greeting.

"The pleasure’s all mine, Kagome." The moment the two put their hands together, they felt a small electric current run through their bodies, starting with their hands. The two separated their hands instantly.

“You seem to like that book a lot. Why don't we sit down and discuss it? I'd like to know what you like about it. To tell you the truth, not everyone likes that book.” He held out a hand to indicate the sofa that was a few feet from where they were standing.

Kagome nodded and headed for the sofa. Sesshomaru waited for Kagome to take a seat first so he could do so after her, keeping their distance a bit. Distance that was shortening as they talked more and more. Not only about that book, but about many others as well. Sesshomaru got up to grab two water bottles from the small refrigerator on the side of the desk and handed one to Kagome. Which she took without fail and thanked him, for she hadn't realized that her throat was a little parched. Apparently talking with Sesshomaru was as natural as breathing.

They kept talking for hours and hours. About their hobbies and their families. Kagome told Sesshomaru about her family and the temple that they guarded. That led Sesshomaru to ask countless more questions. Kagome told him about her role in the temple and all the years she had served in it, before entering university.

Sesshomaru found everything Kagome said fascinating. And of course it was. Not everyone has a very important temple to guard nor was a Miko, so for Sesshomaru it was interesting. Everything about Kagome seemed to be.

They continued talking for many more hours. Kagome confessed that she didn't know anyone at the party and that she had only attended because her friend had invited her, but she was also a guest at the party. Sesshomaru told her that although he wasn't the one being celebrated, he knew him quite well.

The more they talked the more they felt a deep connection with each other. The distance between the two of them on the sofa was minimal, sitting facing each other, seeing each other and when they least realized it, they were holding hands.

The first to notice was Kagome, who looked down and seeing her hands intertwined, she turned to Sesshomaru who was looking at her with a look full of, could she say, love? Was that what Kagome saw in his gaze? Or was it just her desire to see that? She felt a connection to him that she had never felt with anyone else before, and perhaps it was just her imagination.

Sesshomaru squeezed her hand a little to bring Kagome back from wherever she left to. Apparently from what she had told him during their talk, she did that often.

"Kagome," he cleared his throat. “I know I just met you but I feel like I've known you my whole life. I have never felt this great connection with anyone else before, only with you. At the risk of sounding cheesy I think this is love at first sight."

Kagome blushed beautifully, "Sesshomaru, I…" She didn't know what to say. Was this man reading her mind? That was exactly how Kagome felt when she was with him.

“I know you felt it just as I did, Kagome. There is something big going on between us. I felt it when I saw you and I confirmed it when I talked to you. Maybe I'm going too fast with this but if you feel the same way, please tell me."

Kagome couldn't find the words so she just nodded once, twice, three times.

Sesshomaru took her face between his hands and said, “I want to kiss you, Kagome. So if I'm going too fast, tell me now or I'll take your silence as permission to kiss you." She didn't have to wait as Kagome followed suit and kissed him.

Sesshomaru let Kagome take control. It was slow, so slow that he felt like she was torturing him. They separated a bit and Sesshomaru took her by her waist and pulled her towards him, sitting her on his lap. He resumed the kiss with greater vigor. Kagome laced her hands behind Sesshomaru's neck and tilted her head to the side to deepen the kiss. They were kissing for what seemed like minutes but for them it was hours and they only separated when the need to breathe became present in both of them.

They didn’t do anything beyond the kisses they shared but they both felt infinitely in love. Their foreheads touching and their breaths ragged. They looked at each other and there was nothing to interrupt them.

Sesshomaru was the first to notice because of the sunbeams coming through the window curtains. It was daylight and they had not noticed it. They were together all night, talking and getting to know each other.

"It's daylight already, Kagome." Sesshomaru told her caressing her cheek with his hand and smiling at her. Kagome placed her hand on top of his, it seemed as if she hadn't heard him with how much she was enjoying the feel of his hand on top of her cheek. Until it seemed his words registered in Kagome's mind.

She opened her eyes wide and turned to see behind her back and definitely, it was already daylight.

"I didn't feel the hours go by while being with you, Sesshomaru." She told him, while Sesshomaru turned her around and pulled her to him to sit between his legs, with her back on his chest as he hugged her from behind. "Nor I. I like being with you, Kagome." He told her while he kissed her on top of her head.

Kagome sank deeper into Sesshomaru's arms as he took her chin and lifted her face to kiss her. It was a slow kiss and full of love. There was no rush at all. They were enjoying and learning about each other while kissing.

The sound of Kagome's cell phone interrupted them. Kagome was thinking of letting it keep ringing so she could keep kissing Sesshomaru, but the incoming message notification sound began to ring insistently, then stopped and her cell phone began ringing again.

Sesshomaru gave Kagome one last kiss and chuckled, “I think you should answer that. It seems important." Kagome got annoyed, not with him of course, but with whoever was calling and texting her non-stop.

She took a deep breath to calm down and be able to answer the call. It better be important Ayame. Or I swear to God… "Hi Ayame, did something happen-"

“Kagome!!! Finally you answer, where are you?! I lost you at the party!” Kagome pulled the cell phone away from his ear.

"For God's sake, Ayame! What's going on? And stop yelling. You're going to burst my eardrum." Sesshomaru chuckled as Kagome listened to what her friend told her. “I am on the second floor of the house. In the library". Kagome listened some more. "Yes I'm coming. Yes, I'll see you at the entrance of the house. Aha. Bye”. Kagome breathed out in exasperation.

"I have to go or my friend won't stop pestering me." Kagome looked at him with sad eyes. It was too soon to part ways and she was already beginning to miss him. Sesshomaru hugged her and gave her a small kiss. "Don't worry. Give me your cell phone number and I'll give you mine and we'll go out for a drink and get to know each other better. What do you think?"

Kagome looked up at him and said with a flirtatious smile, "is that a date?"

"You can bet it is." Sesshomaru smirked and Kagome jumped into his arms. He picked her up as Kagome entwined her arms behind her neck and kissed him, opening her mouth to deepen the kiss even more.

So focused were they on kissing that they didn't realize the library door opened until a familiar voice to Kagome, spoke up. "So that's why you didn't answer my calls or hurry up, Kagome."

Her friend Ayame was at the door with a smile that resembled the cat that ate the canary.

Sesshomaru lowered Kagome down and she adjusted her skirt that was hiked up. "Ayame", she said somewhat annoyed. “You could have waited for me to get out of the house. I didn’t take too long".

Ayame looked at her in disbelief. "Kagome, it's been half an hour and you still haven't come out, that's why I came looking for you." She told her in a whiny voice.

Kagome's countenance changed. She went from annoyed to surprised to sadness. "Oh." Was all she said and she turned to see Sesshomaru. “I didn't notice that it had been so long. Being with you I didn’t notice the time”.

Sesshomaru took her hand and kissed it. "The same happens to me". He pulled his cell phone out of his pants pocket with his other hand while the other was still holding onto Kagome's. "Give me your cell phone number and I'll call you for our date tomorrow."

Kagome gave it to him and he saved it away, giving her his so she could save it too.

They said goodbye to each other with a small kiss on the mouth and Kagome went with her friend back to the university dorms.

TBC.

I apologize for the tardiness. This is chapter 5 of the story.

Art made by my dear friend, @ivii20 .

Tags for this story: Light Angst, sad themes, self-destructive tendencies, depression, symptoms of depression, happy ending.

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.
