Thoughts/Song

Blue Jay Way

Dark sapphire lit up the room as cool golden began to slip away.

There's a fog upon LA

"Sesshomaru?"

The golden stopped its movement, dulling in brightness. "I'm going to the office… I have… work to finish."

Brilliant blue soon faded, "Oh."

And my friends have lost their way

"Go back to bed."

They young woman blinked, "How long tonight?"

He looked away, "I do not know."

We'll be over soon they said

"I suppose I shall retire then for this evening… alone… again…"

His cold stare fell on her, "Indeed, you should."

Her eyes shot to the floor, downcast in pain.

Now they've lost themselves instead.

"Sesshomaru-WAIT!"

The Majestic demon turned to look at the young woman he had taken as his wife.

Please "Please" Don't "don't" Be "be" Long "long"

Please "Please don't you be very long…"

Please "Please don't be long…"

"For I may be asleep…"

The great inu akurei nodded his head. "Good night."

The door slipped shut. She was alone.

Now it only goes to show

Kagome looked down at her hands. "Why am I not good enough?"

Crystalline tears fell upon the smooth sheets of her bed.

Her bed.

Not their bed.

and I told them where to go

Sesshomaru sighed regretfully as he turned on his car, driving not in the direction of his office, but in the direction of the nearest motel.

He didn't want to hurt her, but if he didn't do this, she would be put in danger, and he couldn't let that happen.

ask a policeman on the street

Kagome sat in her bed for hours on end every night wondering what she did.

Another tear slipped down her cheek, but she didn't feel it at all.

She could never get a divorce… that would hurt more than the atrocious acts he was probably performing now.

there's so many there to meet.

Sesshomaru's eyes closed as a sharp pang zinged through his chest.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the room.

"Hey baby… I missed you since last time…"

He froze, his perfect wife's words caressing his mind.

"Please… don't… be… long…"

A sudden depression enveloped Kagome as she looked down at the picture of her and Sesshomaru at their wedding.

"What happened to us?"

"Please don't you be very long…"

Sesshomaru felt terrible.

As he lay in the lumpy motel mattress, worn and overused, is chest ached something terrible.

Closing his eyes, he could hear her echoing voice, calling to him.

"Please don't be long…"

For almost a year, almost a full twelve months… He had been cheating on her.

For almost 365 days she put up with his distant façade and fake love for her as his whole heart was being given to others…

And it was going to end.

"For I may be asleep…"

His eyes drifted close, the picture of his wonderful wife glued to the inside of his eyelids, playing over and over her cheerful squeals and playful banter with her brother.

And he knew what he was going to do when he got back home.

He was going to make up for all of this foolishness that he had started

Now it's past my bed I know

Kagome was running around frantically, her foggy mind not registering that it was nearly one in the morning.

But she couldn't find them! Where were they?

and I'd really like to go

The akurei lord smiled for the first time in nearly a year at the thought of what was to happen.

He had left the motel, and he was on his way home.

Home…to her…

soon will be the breath of day

She finally found them! She quickly filled them out just as the sun was beginning to rise.

Divorce papers…

She took in a deep breath, smiling for the first time since… His affairs started…

She was free!

sitting here in Blue Jay Way.

His heart raced in anticipation. Gripping the steering wheel, he went over it in his head again and again.

'I will tell her of my sins, and I shall tell her it was so she wouldn't be my 'weakness…' And then I'll tell her that none of it matters anymore and I just want…'

Her…

"Please… don't… be… long…"

She remembered what she had said, but she didn't care if he came home at all as she leaded her luggage in the taxi she had called in.

She was going to start a new life… no matter how much her heart hurt.

She would get over it.

"Please don't you be very long…"

Her words echoed through his mind, building his excitement even more.

He was going home…

For good.

For better…

Or for worse…

"please… don't… be… long…"

She let the car lull her to sleep, the gentle way it followed the bumps and dips in the road like her own personal lullaby

She was going somewhere…

She didn't know where…

But anywhere was better than here.

"for I may be asleep…"

His heart swelled with joy and pride as he drove into their parking lot…

The parking lot to their house…

"Please… don't… be… long…"

She was long gone. Back to her old home at her family's shrine.

But he wouldn't know until it was too late.

Too late for them…

Too late for love…

"please don't you be very long…"

"Kagome?"

His smooth tenor rang through their house…

"Kagome?"

"please don't be long…"

"Haha-ue?"

Her soft voice traveled across the spacey area of their shrine grounds.

"Souta-otouto?"

"Ojii-chan?"

"Please don't be long…"

"Kagooomeee…"

Sesshomaru growled, frustrated with his lack of results.

He looked down at his watch 6:30 a.m. She was usually up by then…

"Kagome?"

"please don't you be very long…"

"Kagome!"

She felt warm arms embrace her, "Dear kami! Ane-ue! You scared me! You didn't call…"

She gave a pointed look at her suitcases.

"Oh… no…"

"please don't be long…"

"Ka-go-me…" Sesshomaru's growls grew deeper, his anger raising another few notches.

If she went to work early, she would write him a note and leave it in the kitchen…

But maybe she forgot and left it in their bedroom…

He nearly sprinted to the room, his hopes flying again.

"Please don't be long…"

"No… no, no… What did he do!!"

Kagome put her hands on her brother's shoulders, "Hush, Souta. It's okay."

"I am going to freaking kill him!!"

"No, no! Souta! It was my fault!"

"What?"

"please don't you be very long"

A crisp white packet lay on their untouched bed.

"What is…"

His eyes grazed over the document, and his hand began to tremble.

"No…"

"please don't be long…"

Tears cascaded down her face.

"I wasn't good enough! I wasn't good enough!"

She began to wail, wrapping her arms around herself, tears streaming down her face.

"No, no… Shh… There, there, Kagome…" Souta held her face to his shoulder, as he had recently grown taller than her, as he tried to comfort his beloved sister.

Don't be long… don't be long… don't be long…

His smile fell.

"No…"

Don't be long… don't be long…

He fell to his knees

"No…"

don't be long…

A tear slipped past his eye.

"No…"

Ijou-desu
