Kagome sat on the roof of her family shrine, her boyfriend of three years, Sesshoumaru, sat beside her. Sesshoumaru had his right arm firmly wrapped around her shoulders and her head was rested on his shoulder. They sat in the silence, both having uncountable things to say, neither saying a word. When the silence became too much to bear, Kagome finally spoke.
"Why do we have to split up, Sesshou-kun?" Kagome asked softly.
"We've known that this was going to happen." Sesshoumaru states while sliding his arm down to rest around her waist. As she lifted her head to look up at him, he placed his down against her neck.
"You're heartless!" She replied to him, her eyes shining with a slight hurt, feeling as if he didn't care.
"You don't mean it." He replied while beginning to nuzzle her neck softly, showing his affection. Kagome sighed.
"I know, I just don't want to leave you!" Kagome stated.
[Sitting up on the roof
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon
And the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt
And drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
And she says
I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end?]
He agreed. He didn't want her to leave either. But the, recently graduated from highschool, couple, had no choice. Kagome's family hadn't had enough money to pay for her to go to a University, and the only school that she could get a scholarship to was in the United States.
Sesshoumaru, who had wanted to join his love, was being forced by his father to work at the company that his father owned. He didn't want to do it but he had to. His family had a lot of money, and he had offered to pay for Kagome to go to a University in Japan, but Kagome was too proud to take a hand out, even if it was from Sesshoumaru. That was something that he loved about her, despite the fact that he wanted her to stay.
The loving couple had known for almost a year that this was going to happen. They had known that she was going to leave. Both of them, however, loved one another too much to let the other go. They had decided to continue their relationship until the day she had to leave. That day, would come at the end of the summer after graduation. That day would come at the next rising sun.
[Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on. ]
Kagome began to cry, wet tears rolling down her cheeks. Sesshoumaru got up from the seat beside her and stood fully in front of her. "Come on Kagome, we'll go for a walk." He smiled down at her, his long silver hair was blowing in the breeze that rushed past the lovers on the cool summer evening.
After the couple came down from the roof, they began walking down the streets of Japan. As they walked around the town they had both grown up in, Sesshoumaru continuously tried to comfort her, to help ease her pain in any way.
"You know I'll always love you Kagome." He said with a soft smile, while giving a slight squeeze to their intertwined hands.
"I'll always love you too, Sesshou-kun." Kagome replied to him, her tears had stopped momentarily.
"Who knows, we might find each other again." Sesshoumaru added, trying to reassure his love for the petite girl next to him.
"I don't expect you to wait for me." She stated softly, almost too soft for him to hear her. Suddenly Sesshoumaru kicked a medium sized rock that was in their path while cursing.
"I don't want you to leave my Kagome." He stated almost roughly.
[A tear falls off her cheek and
Right when it hits his arm he says
Come on baby
Lets get outta here
They take one last drive around town
And man it
Already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says
Life ain't fair
And this growing up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go.]
The couple continued walking until they got back to Kagome's family shrine. They were standing outside of the shrine doors, wrapped in each other's arms. Kagome began to softly cry again. "I have to go my love." He said sadly. He reached down to pull her face up to his and they shared one final kiss. As they parted, Sesshoumaru gave her a reassuring smile, then turned to leave. Before he fully turned around, Kagome saw a single tear glisten it's way down his smooth skinned face. She walked into the shrine and closed the door before collapsing to the floor and bursting out into tears that would not cease for a long time to come.
[Tomorrow she'll be rolling down
I-10 Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
But here it is
They don't have long
The night before
Life goes on
Yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah]
