AN: Where did this come from?? I have no idea. I was getting ready for bed when this hit me so here it is. Hopefully you enjoy it, feel free to throw out suggestions and whatnot. Don't like something? Tell me. Love something? Tell me! =P
“Oh how the mighty have fallen!” Kagome's sarcastic, almost hysterical voice broke the silence as the door she opened continued to creek back and forth. Sesshoumaru paused with his head a couple inches off a table and raised an eyebrow before he slowly sat up, refusing to meet her eyes.
He already knew what he would find there. Her tears hung in the air thickly. Try as he might he was unable to swallow the lump in his throat. He chose to stare at the wall, waiting for her outburst. Her aura was raging wildly and he knew it was only a matter of time before she snapped.
His surprise was great when instead her aura reached a peak and then faltered, dropping quickly around her. Instead of saying anymore Kagome closed the door, leaving him to the darkness. He didn't move though, the guilt had made his limbs dead.
And another feeling was overcoming him, one he hadn't felt before. Dread? Fear? It was certainly fear he felt. Not knowing how mad Kagome was didn't bode well for the taiyoukai. He grasped the edge of he mirror, planning on dumping the contents into the trash before he paused.
He did spend good money on it.
So instead he scraped the white powder into it's bag before leaving the room to explain things to Kagome.
She looked a mess, a cute mess that should be ravaged. He hesitated in his urge to go to her, the sadness rolling off of her was enough to hold his heart still.
“Kagome?”
She merely closed her eyes and shook her head before grabbing more of her personal belongs to throw into a bag. Tears spalshed down her face.
“Kagome, please, talk to me.”
Suddenly she was throwing the items back down and whirled to face him. A finger was pointed at him as she stamped a foot.
“YOU! How- how could you? How long has this been going on? I thought you were better than this! Y'know what happened, you saw what I went through with Souta! How could you?”
He scoffed, which immediately registered as a bad idea, but was unable to take it back.
“Kagome, Souta....Well Souta was ….”
“Was what Sessh? What exactly was my brother?”
“He...bit off more than he could handle.”
“A diplomatic way of saying 'He was human, I'm youkia, I'm better!'” She snapped as she picked her bag back up, heaving it over her shoulder. Sesshoumaru immediately moved closer as he reached for it.
“You shouldn't be carrying so much,” he stated softly. She swatted his hands away.
“Don't touch me! As if you have the right to tell me what's good for my health. You're such a hypocrite.”
The venom in her voice put a chill in the air. He dropped his hand to his side, all emotion faded from his face. Kagome's breath caught in her throat when she realized what was happening.
He's shutting down?! Unbelievable!
Determined to provoke him into showing some emotion she marched forward, jabbing him in the chest.
“I got news for you, I'm leaving. I'm not staying with someone that's going to throw their life away snorting coke. Fuck you Sesshoumaru.”
She stormed out. Immediately she pulled out her cell phone. She knew she'd need help. Especially since she had no where else to go.
“ 'Gome?” A tiredvoice answered the phone. She cringed inwardly.
“Hey, were you sleeping?”
“What's wrong?”
“Nothing's wrong, I just need a place to crash tonight.”
“What'd he do?”
“I don't know who or what you're talking about.”
“Kagome...where are you?”
She sighed, “I'm headed towards the twenty-four hour grocery store near my place.”
“Stay put.”
Sesshoumaru watched Kagome leave from the upstairs bedroom window. It was obvious who she was calling. Anytime they had a fight she went running to InuYasha. He wouldn't chase her, it was disgraceful. He wouldn't beg for her back, he wasn't prepared to do anything. She would come back to him and if he felt in a good mood- he'd accept her apology.
Although at this rate, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood if she came back anytime soon. A bottle of hard liqueur already half empty was slammed down, and he pulled out the bag from early. Her words still rang through his mind.
“the mighty have fallen!”
He snarled as he tore the bag open, causing some of the contents to fly out.
“How dare she mock me!” He snapped as he laid it out, breaking the coke into lines as he greedily took them into his nose. His eyes had already bled through and he was working more on a carnal state of mind. Images of putting her in place were keeping him occupied.
He went to throw the alarm clock at the window but was surprised by the time. Already 5am. He glanced outside and set the clock down.
She wasn't coming back, just like he would miss out on sleep – again. He glanced down at the remains of his habit, shining off the desk. It had been too long since he had slept. As a youkai he didn't need it as much as humans but he still needed to rest.
Shrugging out of his clothes he dismissed any thoughts of sleep and hopped in the shower. Regardless of what his bitch was up to, he had meetings to attend.
