Some Dreams Fade Anew
Chapter Three: First Signs of Doubt
Kagome realized quickly that her euphoria toward Sesshoumaru did not last long. She knew that once people found out they were dating there would be prejudice and shock. However, she did not expect it from her best friend, Sango, who once served in the army with her husband too.
“Seriously?” Sango put down her wine glass on the table and her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Is that… a problem?” Kagome asked cautiously. She didn’t like where this was going. She knew of Sessshoumaru’s reputation, but most of that was based on rumors and the media. She’d known him pretty well all these years, enough to want to get closer.
“Well, no, but it seems odd, for you. I never thought he was your type.” Sango paused, but before Kagome could speak, her friend went on. “He’s a shark in the JAG Corps. I’m sure you know that already. Inuyasha used to tell me stories…”
“I’ve heard those same stories,” Kagome said sharply.
“Kagome,” Sango said sternly. She reached over and covered Kagome’s hand with hers. “Just do me a favor, will you? Be careful. This is isn’t a racist thing. Even I know that youkai have integrated well with humans, but for Sesshoumaru personally, just be aware of the life he leads. He’s an attorney for the military, a really shrewd one too.”
Kagome bristled, and she drew her hand away from Sango’s gentle grasp. Sango’s family had problems with youkai in the past, and they were especially proud of their ancestry of slaying youkai in ancient Japan. However, even though Sango was an intelligent, open-minded friend, she did still have her hang-ups.
Her friend’s warning didn’t go unnoticed though. Kagome was already having reservations.
After Sango left her for the evening, Kagome’s mind was saturated with her friend’s warnings. Sango had even added, “He’s even defended rapists in the military, and they’ve gotten off Scott-free.” Kagome appreciated that her friend cared about her, but this thing with Sesshoumaru was different.
For the first time in years she’d felt comfortable with someone who wasn’t her husband. She was already trying to get around the fact that he was her late husband’s brother, but now she was hearing even more doubts about him from others.
Kagome sighed. When she got home from the restaurant, she made herself a cup of coffee and relaxed outside on her porch. Later as Sesshoumaru’s car came up her driveway, she tried to push her thoughts aside and put on a smile.
Sesshoumaru stepped out of the car, and as soon as she met his eyes, she felt an amazing feeling swell inside her.
“Good evening,” he said smoothly, in that same voice that always made her melt.
She responded, and suddenly she felt silly for even listening to Sango today. Why did she have so many doubts when her heart was speaking so much louder? What did she really have to worry about with him?
