A Clingy Situation
Knowing who was at the door, Kagome opened it quite nervously. She wasn’t sure what to expect of the evening and hoped her date with Sesshomaru wouldn’t be awkward and uncomfortable.
“You look beautiful tonight,” Sesshomaru said after giving Kagome a quick once over in her scarlet colored cocktail dress.
“So do you,” Kagome replied.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, I just need to grab my purse.”
Sesshomaru placed a hand on Kagome’s arm, stopping her as she turned to retrieve her purse. “May I come in first before we leave? I think we need to have a talk.”
Kagome hesitated for a second before answering. “Sure.” She stepped aside, allowing Sesshomaru to enter.
Sesshomaru sat down on the couch. “I would like to know what Kagura said to you.” When Kagome didn’t answer him, he continued. “We are not going to be able to have a relationship if we can’t talk to or communicate with each other. Yes I was dating Kagura. I didn’t think it was an issue, so I never mention it. I never intended to keep it a secret.”
“That’s not what’s bothering me.” Kagome gave a sigh before she continued. “Kagura cornered me a few days ago and told me that once we started sleeping together, you would dump me. I don’t want to be another notch in your belt.”
“I thought it was something like that. Yes, I did break up with Kagura after our relationship became more physical, but not because I thought of her as a conquest and it was time to move on to the next one. After we started sleeping together, she became possessive and clingy, calling me every hour to see what I was doing, freaking out when she saw me talking to other women, and accusing me of cheating on her. I couldn’t take it anymore, and I did what I had to do by breaking up with her. Even then, she wouldn’t leave me alone. I almost had to get a restraining order against her. I meant it when I said there is no pressure for sex. I will wait.”
“Sorry for acting like such a spaz.”
“You should have told me what was bothering you when I had first asked.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Is everything ok between us?”
“Yes,” Kagome replied with a genuine smile.
“Then let’s go,” Sesshomaru said, standing and offering his arm to Kagome.
