Untitled (for now): Chapter One

Kagome blinked, not quite sure that what she was looking at was real. It couldn't possibly be her ex-husband standing before her, she must be hallucinating. She moved to close the door but the image's hand shot out to stop it.

That's odd she thought. Since when did hallucinations have the power to stop tangible objects? She poked at the hand resting on her door and to her surprise her finger didn't do right through. That meant...

"Yes Kagome, I'm quite real as you can see or feel I should say. So please, wipe that horrified look off of your face and invite me in."

Horrified, she thought in dismay. That didn't even begin to describe the way she felt right now. She looked up at him and couldn't suppress the shudder that ran through her body. He noticed and said mockingly, "There was a time when the only trembling you did around me was in pleasure. Would you still do that now I wonder?" She started as he raised his hands to touch her. "Don't you dare touch me!" she screamed and tried to slam the door again but this time it was his foot that stopped it and she kicked at it desperately while keeping her hands braced against the door. "You also used to scream for me to touch you too." he said laughing, not making any move to take back his foot.

"Go the hell away!" she screamed again. "Not a chance in hell." He replied and shoved the door inward, sending Kagome to the floor. He stood over her, just staring, hands in his pockets and for the first time in six years Kagome got a good look at him. He hadn't changed much, still devastatingly beautiful with waist-length silvery-white hair, amber eyes, straight nose and sensuous mouth. How times have I kissed that mouth she wondered before remembering just who was looming over her. Sesshoumaru Arakida, one of the richest, most powerful men in the world and her ex-husband. He stepped fully into the house and turned to close the door.

"Aren't you going to offer me something to drink Kagome?" he asked when he faced her once more. "It's only good manners seeing as I am a guest in your house." She gave a short bark of laughter as she scrambled gracelessly to her feet. "You've got some nerve Sesshoumaru. As if I would ever offer you anything, you're not even welcome here!" He smiled slowly. It was the same smile that he'd use on people who thought they could pull one over on him, right before he disposed of them. "There was a time when you would have offered me everything and I was always welcome where you were concerned." He said softly. To her chagrin she could feel her face heat up. "'There was a time, there was a time.'" She scoffed. "'Was' is the keyword Sesshoumaru. That time when I was young and stupid is gone. I swear you'll never get anything from me again." He lost his smile and a dangerous gleam came into his eyes. "Don't say things you don't mean Kagome and don't make promises you can't keep."

"I mean every word I say and that's one promise I'll definitely keep." He smiled that smile once more. "We'll see." was all he said. Suddenly tired of the veiled threats and promises flying between them, Kagome sighed and asked, "Why are you here Sesshoumaru?"

"What do mean why am I here? A man should be able to see his wife anytime he wants."

"I agree except, I'm not your wife anymore." All she got was a raised eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes. "I'll ask again. What is it that you want?"

"I want lots of things but foremost I came to collect something that belongs to me...or should I say someone." Kagome paled at his words and her mind started to race feverishly. How had he found out? She had taken every precaution. He saw the look on her face and smirked. "You didn't think that you would away did you? Surely you must have realized that I would come for you?" She felt sick, he really did know. "I-I don't understand. It's been so long, why now?"

"Well because you're planning to get married of course."

Of course. How could she be so stupid? A man like him would never want her to belong to another. "It's too late." she told him. "There's nothing you can do."

"On the contrary." he replied, dismissing her statement with a wave of his hand. "I don't like sharing and the law makes no allowances for bigamy."

Bigamy? she wondered, confused. "Bigamy? I-what are you saying?" He turned to her, a dark look on his face. "I'm saying that you're still my wife and I won't share you with anyone else much less that weak-willed, sniveling boy that thinks that he can take you away from me." Kagome frowned. "Do you mean Hojo? You were talking about me and Hojo this whole time?"

"Of course I was who did you think I was talking about? Never mind, it doesn't matter. I've made reservations for dinner at Vivienne's. Eight o' clock, I'll pick you up here. Wear something sexy for me."

Kagome's first inclination was to tell him where he could put his dinner reservations but luckily she grasped that this was a blessing in disguise. She glanced at the clock; she still had five minutes left to get him out. "Kagome?" Sesshoumaru called warningly.

"Yes, I heard you the first time. Eight o' clock; Vivienne's, you'll pick me up here. I'll wear something sexy. He eyed her suspiciously. "Why are you being so agreeable? You should be hissing and scratching like the wildcat you are."

"For God sakes Sesshoumaru! I've agreed to what you commanded. Do you have to look a gift horse in the mouth?"

"When it comes to you? Yes. How do I know you'll be here when I arrive to collect?"

"I don't know, you'll just have to trust me."

"Trust you?" he sneered in disbelief. "I trusted you when you pledged 'till death do us part' at the altar on our wedding day and look where it got me. You walked out after six months and I got served with divorce papers a week later so forgive me if I don't take your word for it." Kagome sighed. "What would you have me do? My word is all I can offer."

"Your word isn't good enough. I also recall you telling me not long ago that you would never offer me anything again. Trust you, Ha! I'd go to sleep on a bed of poisonous snakes and trust that I'd wake up unharmed before I believe anything you say again."

"Sesshoumaru--"

"Kiss me." he said suddenly, cutting her off.

"What?"

"I said kiss me. Kiss me and I'll leave and stay away until tonight.

"I thought--" Kagome started but then looked at the clock again. Two minutes left and all he wanted was one kiss...

"All right. One kiss and you stay away?"

"Until tonight." He promised as he gathered her into his arms. Kagome melted. It had been six long years since she had been held by the man she loved. "One kiss, you promise?" she asked again. "I promise." he whispered as he covered her mouth with his. Kagome sighed, six years was a long time.

'This was a mistake.' Sesshoumaru thought as he kissed her. 'I could never be satisfied with one kiss', he thought before Kagome's taste wiped all coherent thoughts from his brain. They never heard the car door slam, never heard the pitter-patter of tiny feet on the walkway leading to the house, and never heard the door open but they did hear it slam shut. Kagome jerked away from Sesshoumaru, mentally kicking and bracing herself for what was to come. Sesshoumaru was confused, why did Kagome pull away? Then, he heard the voice of a little girl asking, "Mommy, what are you doing?" He looked at Kagome in disbelief but she had her eyes closed and a guilty look on her face turned around slowly and for the second time in his life almost fainted. His vision swam, it couldn't be. But when he could finally focus he saw a little girl with his silver hair and his golden eyes staring curiously up at him.
