Can't tell

The next morning Kagome woke up, she laid in bed remembering what occurred last night.
She cried all over again. She jumped when the phone rang. Kagome looked at her caller id to see who was calling her she recognized the number, she picked up the phone slowly.

“Hello.” she said in a low voice.

“Morning Sweetie. It Sess I was just calling to say I’m sorry about last night.” he told her.

Kagome held back the tears that threaten to escape. “I’m sorry too Sesshou, I shouldn’t have said those things to you.” she said to him.

“Kagome are you alright?” he asked her.

“I’m just tired that’s all.” Kagome said to him as she got out the bed.
“I just wanted to call you before I left for work.” Sesshoumaru told her as he grabbed his car keys. Kagome was to silent for his liking.

“Listen I have to go but I’ll stop by after work ok.” he said to her.

“You don’t have to.” Kagome said not really wanting to face him right now.

This did not sound like his girl something was definitely wrong.

“I love you.” he said as he heard her hang up the phone.

Sesshoumaru drove into work, he worked at the Shadow Enterprise, and ad agency that did a lot of big ads for major makeup companies, and other business.
Sesshoumaru was a Vice president, he had decided early on that he didn’t want to follow in his Father’s foot steps and be a doctor like his dad, though he really didn’t have to work he had a trust fund.

Sesshoumaru had recently decided that he wanted to marry Kagome , course he had yet to ask her.

As he walked to his office he walked passed the many women that on a daily occasion that flirted with him it wasn’t like they didn’t know he was in a serious relationship.
Once inside his office he sat down behind his large Mahogany desk, his computer was already on which meant his personal assistant was around somewhere. Today was not his day first Kagome was acting all weird on the phone, and he had a 10:00 am meeting to meet the owners of another advertising company that wanted to merge their company with Shadow Enterprise.

“Damn this is going to be a long day.” he said as he looked through his files.

______________________________________________________________________
Kagome walked into the bathroom to shower.
“Sesshoumaru.” she said softly.

Nausea swept over her at the thought of telling him what happened, how would he feel about her now, would he even want her would he tell her it’s all her fault?, tears flooded her eyes, she leaned over the bathroom sink. She turned the shower on and stepped in , she ran the loofah over her hot skin, determined to scrub herself clean of all the dirt from last night. She finished cleaning her skin and turned the hot steam of water above her the spray of water hit her just below her chin as she leaned her head back.

Then the memories of what happened to her last night came flooding back, she sucked in her breath. She heard a soft thump outside her bathroom door, she jerked her head toward the door. Kagome turned the shower off and stepped out, she wrapped a towel around her and walked out the bathroom. After she looked around her apartment and saw that everything was fine she went back into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.

When Kagome looked in the mirror she saw Naraku’s face just smiling at her. She gasped as she saw his face she turned around slowly but he wasn’t there it was her imagination. But when she turned back around and looked back in the mirror she saw him again. She threw a perfume bottle at the mirror shattering the bottle.
Kagome whimpered

This was a nightmare she was scared she had to tell someone, but Naraku told her he would kill her if she told anyone.

Kagome left the bathroom and went into her bedroom and put on a pair of jeans, and a oversized sweatshirt that Sesshoumaru had left at her place and a pair of sneakers.

She didn’t bother putting on any make up not that she really needed it.

Kagome walked into the kitchen, which was part of her living room, it was a two bedroom apartment, good thing she had two bedrooms with the many fights Sango and Miroku had. Sango would come over and spend the night when her and Miroku were having problems.


Kagome poured herself a glass of orange juice , she had a coffee/ cappuccino machine but it was only used when Sesshoumaru came over she wasn’t a coffee drinker. She washed the empty glass, she looked in her refrigerator she was going to have to go grocery shopping soon her fridge was practically bare.

She went in the living room and sat on the couch, she picked up the remote and turned the t.v. on to the news channel.

Reporter: “Cops say that Ron Monroe, who ran Shade Motel was found dead in one of the motel rooms late last night. No word on cause of death.” The reporter said.
Kagome turned the T.V. off.

Kagome phone rang she looked at her caller id to see it was Sango calling her. She picked up the phone.

“Hey Sango.” she said.

“Hey, Kagome, I was wondering if you could come over and keep me company today , i have the day off from work.” Sango said to her best friend.

“Sango I’m kind of tired, I had a bad night.” Kagome told her.

“Please Kagome I kicked Miroku out last night after his night out with Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and the rest of the guys.” Sango told her.
“You’re not going to leave me alone until I say yes are you?” Kagome asked her.

“Nope.” Sango told her.

Kagome sighed, “Fine I’ll be over in half and hour.” Kagome told her and hung up the phone.

Kagome grabbed her keys, she then remembered that she left her car at where the party had taken place.

Good thing that Sango only lived a couple of blocks away. She put her keys in her purse and turned her answer machine on and walked put the apartment locking the door behind her.

Kagome walked down the street, looking at different stores as she walked by, but to her it felt like everyone was staring at her like they all knew what had happened to her.

Kagome reached Sango’ s apartment, she rang the bell and a few minutes later Sango buzzed her in.

Kagome opened the door and climbed the steps to the second floor when she reached Sango’ s apartment the door was already open.

“Hey, you got here pretty quick.” Sango said as Kagome walked in and closed the door behind her.

“Have you eaten?” Sango asked her as she walked into the kitchen.

“No just some orange juice.” she told Sango.
“How about I fix us some eggs and bacon then.” Sango told her as she opened the fridge and took out some eggs and four slices of bacon.
Sango cracked eggs and whipped them together and put them in the pan, and while they were cooking she put a second pan on for the bacon and placed it in there and waited for the aroma to fill the room. When the bacon and eggs were done Sango put them on a plate for Kagome and herself. Sango took the plates and placed one in front of Kagome.

“Thanks Sango.”

Kagome barely touched her eggs, Sango looked at Kagome.

“Kagome is something wrong?”

Kagome looked at her.

“Sango if I tell you something you have to promise not to tell anyone, I mean anyone .” Kagome said to her.

“Kagome I’m your best friend I swear I won’t tell anyone no matter what you tell me.” Sango told her.
Kagome got up from the kitchen table, she put her hands through her hair, and took a deep breath.

“You know last night I got into a fight with Sess about canceling our date so he could go out with Inuyasha, and the guys. Well I was angry so I decided to go too the party alone.” Kagome told Sango.

“Did you have fun?” Sango asked her.

Kagome shook her head no.

“Naraku was there and he asked me where Sesshoumaru was, and I told him that he was busy, anyway the party was getting boring so I decided to go home. I got in my car started it up only it wouldn’t start and I refused to call Sesshoumaru, so Naraku offered to give me a ride home, I took it and everything was okay until he pulled over to a motel, he said it would be wise since he had drank at the party. Anyway there was only one room left so we had to share.”

Kagome began to swallow, what she was going to tell her best friend in the world.

“Naraku began to kiss me and I told him I was with Sess, and he said that I know that Sesshoumaru can’t satisfy my needs, he slapped me when I refused him, and I.. ran for the door.”

Kagome told her as she began to cry, just talking about it hurt.
“He pulled me over to the bed, he ripped my clothes off.” Sango got up from the table and walked over to her.

“Kagome what did he do to you?” Sango asked knowing what was coming.

“He raped me!”, Kagome screamed “he raped me!, I couldn’t stop him I begged him to leave me alone I kicked him, but I was no match for him.”

Tears were flowing down her face.

“Kagome, shh that bastard we’ll get him for this we’ll go to the cops.” Sango told her.

“No Sango!, we can’t Naraku will kill me, he also killed the manger of that motel.” Kagome told her.

Sango helped Kagome over to the sofa.

“What are you going to do honey?” Sango asked her.

“I don’t know I’m so scared when I think about how Sess, will react he won’t want me anymore he’ll tell me it’s all my fault.”

“Kagome you know that’s not true Sesshoumaru loves you, you’re the only one that gets away with arguing with him, if you were Inuyasha or anyone else you’d be black and blue. Sango said.

“I can’t I just can’t tell him at least right now Sango.” Kagome told her.

“Ok Kags.”

“Kagome you need to go too the doctor though just to make sure you’re not pregnant or have any diseases.” Sango told her.

“I know, I do I’m just so scared right now.” Kagome told her.

Sango put her arm around Kagome.

“You know what I’ll go with you to the doc, and afterwards we’ll go and get your car and if it still doesn’t start we’ll have it towed.” Sango said.

Kagome nodded her head.

Sango went into her bedroom she sat down on her bed as she put her shoes on, she cried, Kagome was her best friend more like a sister.

Naraku bastard, he and Sesshoumaru use to be the best of friends until Sesshoumaru decided to date Kagome. Naraku felt that Kagome was beneath them she wasn’t rich enough. Sesshoumaru would kill Naraku once he found out what he did to Kagome.

Sango wiped her eyes with a tissue she didn’t want Kagome to see her crying, she came out the bedroom and grabbed her keys.

“Okay let’s go.” Sango told her.

Kagome grabbed her purse and followed Sango out the apartment.

Sango and Kagome got into Sango’s green jeep and drove to the doctor’ s office. After Kagome filled out all the forms she was called into the back.

The doctor checked Kagome she took blood to be tested and a pregnancy test.

“Dr. Cain is everything okay?” Kagome asked her.
“Yes, you’re fine but we won’t know about the test for a couple of days, as soon as the results come in I’ll be sure to call you okay.” Dr. Cain told her.


“Thank you doctor.” Kagome said to her.

Dr. Cain left the room so Kagome could change back into her clothes.

Kagome came out the exam room, Sango was reading a magazine.

“Sango.” Kagome called to get her attention.

Sango put the magazine down and got up and walked over to Kagome.

“Everything okay?” Sango asked her.

“Well the doctor said the test won’t be in for a couple of days.”

“Okay let’s go and get you car.” Sango told her. Kagome and Sango got into the jeep and
buckled their seat belts, and drove off to where the party took place to retrieve Kagome’ s car.

Sango drove to the neighborhood where Kagome’ s car was parked. Sango parked in front of Kagome’ s car.

Kagome got out of Sango’s jeep and walked over to her car. She unlocked the car door and sat down in the driver’s seat. She put the key in the ignition the engine started but stop again. Kagome turned the car back off and got out the car shutting the door.

“I guess something really was wrong with the car.” Kagome said to Sango
Sango took out her cell phone out of her bag and called the towing company and waited for the truck to come.

“Sango.” Kagome said.

“Hmm.” Sango said as she turned to look at her.

“What if I’m pregnant with Naraku’ s baby.” Kagome said as she sat on the hood of the car.

“Well if you are then you can always have an abortion.” Sango told her.
“No abortion, my mom always said to me that a baby no matter how it was conceived it is no accident that baby was meant to be bought in the world.” Kagome told her.

“I guess your right but then what are you going to tell Sesshoumaru if you’re pregnant, I mean he hates Naraku with a passion.” Sango asked as the towing truck pulled up.

Kagome got down off the car and watched as the man hooked her car up. Kagome got back in Sango’s jeep and the two followed the truck back to the mechanics.
“I guess pray that Sess is in a good mood.” Kagome said with a slight smile.



Sesshoumaru sat in his office waiting for the meeting to start it was only, 9:15 am.

His assistant came into the office carrying a cup of coffee for her boss.

“Here you go sir.” she said as she placed his cup of coffee on his desk.

“Thank you Rin.” sesshoumaru said as he looked up from his computer.

Rin Ohta was 18 years old fresh out of high school, she mostly got the job at Shadow Enterprise was because she knew Kagome, and Kagome dating Sesshoumaru knew how to make him do things for her, such as giving Rin a job as his personal assistant. Rin sat down at her desk.

“Who do you think the other company is?” Rin asked him.

Sesshoumaru was thinking about Kagome he had a bad feeling that she was in trouble.

“Sesshoumaru -sama did you hear me?” Rin asked him.
Sesshoumaru looked up at her. “Hmm Rin what did you say?” he asked her.

“I asked you do you think the other company is that wants to merge with Shadow?”

“I don’t know Rin, hopefully a well known company, or established.” he told her.
“Well straighten your tie because the meeting is in 15 minutes, you better go and get to the conference room”. Rin told him.

Sesshoumaru got up from his desk and straighten his tie and picked up the papers that Rin had bought in earlier.

“Rin if anyone call I’m in a meeting unless it’s Kagome, oh and order lunch and clear my schedule for Friday.” he told her and walked out the office.

Rin did as she was asked, he really didn’t have anything schedule for Friday except for dinner with his parent’s and brother.

Sesshoumaru walked to the conference room. He opened the door and walked inside.


Sesshoumaru sat down at the table, the table was long a cherry wood color, sixteen chairs were around the table, the secretary was busy putting folders on the table for the meeting.

“Morning Mr. Kishi.” sh said .
“Morning Mrs.. Jolin.” Sesshoumaru said as he looked through his papers.


The president of Shadow Enterprise walked in.

“Morning Mr. Merritt.” Sesshoumaru said to his boss.

‘Morning Sesshoumaru, as always you’re on time.”

“Sesshoumaru I want you to work closely with the new merger, and as I promised when I retire this year you will be taking over Shadow.” He boss said.

“Yes Sir, It means a lot to me you trust me with the company.” Sesshoumaru said to him.

“You’re the best man for the job, you have turned this company into a billion dollar company before you came I was ready to file for bankrupt.” Mr. Merritt said.

The other employees of Shadow came in and took their seat now awaiting the guest.

The secretary came in the room. “Excuse me sir but your guest has arrived.”

“Show them in Cora.” Mr. Merritt told her. Cora nodded her head and escorted the guest in.
A young woman walked in behind Cora.

“Ms. Yakima to see you.”

The young woman had long flowing jet-black hair that went down to the middle of her back , she had grey eyes. She wore a lavender suit with a short skirt that went to he mid thigh. Sesshoumaru looked at the woman for some reason she reminded him of someone he knew.
Ms. Yakima sat across from Sesshoumaru.

“Please call me Kaguya.” she said as she smiled at Sesshoumaru

“Sesshoumaru is my Vice president Kaguya.” Mr. Merritt said to her.

“I see.” Kaguya said with a purr.


“I’ve heard of your company Ms. Yakima, in fact my girlfriend loves your perfume.” Sesshoumaru told her.

Kaguya stopped smiling when Sesshoumaru said girlfriend.
“I’m glad that she likes Celestial Goddess products.”

“By merging our companies together we will be unbeatable, with my line of beauty care and your ads. We’ll be billionaires.” she said to them.

Mr. Merritt pulled out the contract.

“Ms. Yakima please sign then so we can make this official.” Mr. Merritt said as he handed her the papers and a pen.

Kaguya signed the contract, Sesshoumaru was next to sign and then finally Mr. Merritt.
They shook hands on the deal.

“Now if you’ll excuse me, Mr. Merritt, Ms. Yakima I have to get back to my office.” Sess told both of them as he walking out the room.

“Sesshoumaru wait please show Ms. Kaguya around today, oh yes and don’t forget the dinner party this Friday.” Mr. Merritt told them both.

“I look forward to seeing Kagome there with you.” Mr. Merritt said and left Kaguya and Sesshoumaru alone.

“I guess you’re with me for the day.” Sesshoumaru said as he held the door open for her.

Kaguya walked next to Sesshoumaru as they walked to his office.

“Do you think I will get an office as well?” Kaguya asked him.

“I suppose .” he said as they reached his office he opened the door and walked in with Kaguya behind him.

Rin was talking on the phone when she saw Sesshoumaru and the other woman come in.
“I have to go my boss just came back “ Rin said and hung up the phone.

“Making personal calls again?” Sesshoumaru asked her as he sat down behind his desk.

“No.” she said.

“Did you do what I asked before I left earlier?” he asked Rin.

“Yes, although your only thing you have on Friday is dinner with your parent’s and Inuyasha.”
She told him.

“Cancel it, I have to go to the company dinner.” he told her.
“What am I to tell your parent’s?” she asked him

“Tell them I have an important meeting to attend.” he told her as he turned around in his seat and looked at the picture of Kagome he had on his desk.

Rin nodded her head, and picked up the phone and called his parent’s.

“Is that your girlfriend?” Kaguya asked Sesshoumaru.

“Yes it is.” Rin said before Sesshoumaru could answer.

“Rin.” Sesshoumaru said in warning.
Kaguya glared at her.

“Yes it’s a picture of her.” he said.

“Hello, Mrs. Kishi, its Rin how are you?, that’s good well I just called to let you know that Sesshoumaru -sama wont be able to make it this Friday for dinner I’m sorry to say but an important meeting has come up so he won’t be able to make it.” Rin told her.

“ I see well I’ll move the dinner to Sunday night at 7pm, and he better be here with Kagome.” his mom told Rin.

“I will tell him that Mrs.Kishi, goodbye.” Rin said and hung up the phone. Rin turned to look at her boss.

“Your Mother said dinner will be Sunday and to bring Kagome or else,.” Rin told him.

Sesshoumaru looked at her. “Did you order lunch?”

I’m getting ready too.” she told him.

I’m sorry Kaguya what would you like to eat ?” Sesshomaru asked her.

“Just a salad and some water.” Kaguya told him.

“Rin order my usual and get Kaguya salad, and what ever you want.” Sesshoumaru told her.

Rin rolled her eyes at him but made the call.

“So how long have you owned Celestial?” Sesshoumaru asked her?

“ For 3 years I took it over for my mother.” she told him.

“How long have you been with Shadow?” she asked him as she crossed her legs.

Sesshoumaru smiled at her, Rin wanted to throw something at him.

He’s flirting what a dog. Rin thought to herself.

“ Two years but I was an intern here why I was in college.”

“And you’re already Vice President?” she asked

“When I see something I want I go after it.” he told her.

“Good to know.” Kaguya said to him.

She got ready to ask him something when her cell phone vibrated.
She looked at her cell phone to see who it was.

“Excuse me I have to take this.” Kaguya said as left the office.

Rin hung up the phone.

“I’m telling Kagome on you.” Rin said.

“For what?” he asked as he raised an eyebrow at her

“Your flirting with that woman.” Rin told him

“What!, I am not.” he told her.

“You’re too, I get what I want.” she repeated.

“That’s true.” he told her.

With Kaguya on the phone

“Hi, listen I can’t talk right now , I’ll be over after I’m done here.” she told the person on the other end and hung up.

Kaguya put her phone back in her purse and went back into Sesshomaru’s office.

“Sorry about that.” Kaguya said as she sat back down.

“So what does one wear to the party?” Kaguya asked Sesshoumaru.

“The party is a black tie event.” he told her looking at Rin out the corner of his eye.

“I guess I have to get a black dress then.” Kaguya said while she smiled at him.

She turned her head to look at Rin “Will you be there?” Kaguya asked her.

“No.” Rin said and got up and left to go get their lunch.

“She doesn’t like me.” Kaguya said to Sesshoumaru.

“Ignore her.” he told her.

Rin met the delivery guy down at the main lobby and paid him. And took the bags and went back up to the 32nd floor.


Rin came back into Sesshoumaru’s office with their lunch. She gave Sesshoumaru his food first and then Kaguya. She walked over to her desk and sat down .

“Thank you Rin.” Sesshoumaru told her.

“Yes thank you .” Kaguya said to her.

Rin smiled at Kaguya but deep down she wanted to strangle her.

After they ate Sesshoumaru showed Kaguya around the building while introducing her to different people .


Kaguya finally left for the day so Sesshoumaru went back to his office.

“Rin you know I love Kagome so don’t have to worry about me cheating on her, I’m not my baka brother.” he told her.

Rin nodded her head.

“Okay , well good night.” Rin told him as she turned her computer off. And left the office Sesshoumaru gathered up his things as well and turned his computer off and left he went to the parking lot and walked over to his Black Jaguar and unlocked it and got in and drove to Kagome ‘s apartment.

He parked in front of the building and got out locking the door the neighbor hood was’nt all that safe he had been begging Kagome for months to move or move in with him. He walked up the steps she was on the 2nd floor. He knocked on her door and waited fir her to open it.

He heard her moving around, he removed his concealment spell and let demon features show he had maroon stripes on each cheek, hidden under his silver bangs was a blue crescent moon.

His ears were pointed like an elf.

Kagome heard the knock on the door she grabbed her robe and went to open the door.

She opened the door to see Sesshoumaru standing there.

“Hi.” she said.

“Can I come in?” he asked her not knowing if she still was mad about last night.

“Yeah.” she said.
Sesshoumaru walked in and closed the door behind him.

“Are you still angry at me my little miko?” he asked Kagome as he put his arms around her waist.

“No, I’m not and I told you not to call me that.” she said as she wiggled out of his embrace.

“Are you hungry?” Kagome asked him as she went into the kitchen not wanting to be touched.
Sesshoumaru walked in and sat down at the kitchen table Kagome’ s scent was different not the usually sweet rose scent he was use to this was more of a musky scent was on her.

“Kagome are you feeling okay your scent has changed?” he said to her.

“Yes I’m fine.” she lied.

Sesshoumaru didn’t push the subject he would wait he was a patient man, after all she made him wait almost a whole year before they finally slept together.





Kaguya drove to the Mansion in her new purple Mercedes, she parked in the drive way, and got out the car and walked up to the mansion and rang the doorbell.

“Hello, Mistress is he expecting you?” the old woman asked him.

“Yes, where is he?” Kaguya asked.

“In the dinning room eating dinner, would you like some dinner as well?” she asked Kaguya.

“No thanks.” Kaguya said and walked into the dinning room.


“Hello Naraku.”

He looked up at her with a smirk on his face “Hello Kaguya”
