Lie About Us…

Sesshomaru smiled at the woman on his arm lovingly before kissing her cheek. His birthday party was going on swimmingly and he was pleased to see his brother happier after the whole debacle with Kikiyo was over. They were both finally happy and in conjunction, so was he. He let his eyes roam across the hall, searching. A flash of royal blue caught his attention and he felt himself stiffen. She was here.

Baby

I know when we started out there were things you didn't know,

But babygirl we got a lotta things we
need to discuss

I know I'm asking for a lot, but just trust.

You say that things getting old sneakin'
round, keeping our love on the low but babygirl, I can't wait till' it's officially us,

I can't wait to let them know about us.

He knew what they were doing was wrong, so very wrong but he didn't care one bit. It was too good and he was falling fast. He felt a tug on his arm and looked to see his fiancé, Kagura,looking at him worriedly. He smiled again, placating her. He knew to get what he wanted-no, needed he had to sacrifice.

So please don't say you wanna give up.
How do I tell her that I'm fallen in love,
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us.
When I'm with her all I want is your touch,
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up,
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
Till' we no longer have to lie about us.

He excused himself from the conversation and walked around searching for that beautiful color that had his ensnared his mind, body, and soul. He chatted with his guests while looking around inconspicuously. Had she left? He didn't want to believe she had, but she had probably seen him and thought the worst.

"May I have this dance, birthday boy?"

His body relaxed at the sound of the voice. Turning around, he let himself smile. She hadn't left.

"Of course, Kagome."

He took her hand and led her to the floor. He carefully placed his hand on her waist and used the other to hold her hand leading her through a classic waltz.

"This song...it seems to explain our situation perfectly doesn't it?"

It took a moment for him to listen and realize the words. Indeed the explained his emotions and their situation perfectly.

Baby I know situation don't seem fair to us both.
But babygirl, she's an issue that I'm bout to adjust.
Don't mistake the love we make for just lust,
You are my soul, mind, body, spirit all that I know.
But babygirl I can't wait till' it's officially us, I can't
Wait to tell the world about us.

He smiled a sad smile as he saw the painful sadness in her smiling face. At this point she started singing along softly, only for his ears. And he couldn't help but reply.

(Kagome)

First I thought that I could take you boy but I don't know, you told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago.
(Sesshomaru)
Eventually I will but I just gotta take it slow don't wanna break her heart although, I gotta let her go
So baby ..

He dared to hug her close as the song slowly ended. He knew his actions hurt her and left her feeling empty. He had to fix this or else he would lose her...for good.

"Just a little bit, longer."

"Baby I'mma wait for you."

He watched her walk away, her words, the song, echoing through him and he knew this was the last time he would watch her walk away from him without him following right after. He turned towards his fiancé.

"Kagura, we need to talk."
