Chapter 10 Teaser - 

“There’s one more thing I need to tell you before I never get the chance to again,” Peter speaks up. You look over at him, but he continues to stare out at the city.

“Hm?” You hum, slightly concerned but curious.

“I’ve wanted to say this for almost three years now. You didn’t let me two years ago.” He chuckles, finally turning to face you. Your brows furrow.

“What are you talking about?” You murmur, eyes searching his for answers.

“I love you.”

Your heart bursts in butterflies.

He loves you. He didn’t say he loved you, he said love. That means he still loves you. Just like you still love him. There’s only one problem.

You’re at your engagement party.

“Pete…” You struggle for words. You’re afraid you’ll say the wrong thing.

“I won’t apologize for saying it, (Y/n/n), because it’s true.” He looks away from you, fiddling nervously with his hands.

A long awkward silence ensues as you stare at him, unable to comprehend anything. you want to scream at him that you love him, that you would follow him anywhere. You want to scream that you would run away with him, but the logical part of your mind, the one you follow most, stops you.

“We’re at my engagement party.” You breathe out, not knowing what else to say. 

“...I figured you’d say something like that.” Peter chuckles sadly, looking into your eyes again. He stills, stopping his fiddling to just take you in for what you both think will be the last time.

“(Y/n), you’re needed at the stage. We’re giving speeches,” Harley pokes his head out, noticing that you’re not alone, “oh. I didn’t realize you were out here with...Parker.”

Chapter Ten - The Road to Hell (teaser)

Oh what great fun I intend to have, mused InuKimi as she stepped down onto the tarmac and allowed her golden eyes to sweep over the busy airport of Tokyo International. It had been quite some time since she had last graced this great city with her presence. She had seen no purpose in returning once her mating had been dissolved, but now her return had come with purpose, and she had every intention of insuring that her purpose would be felt by those she had come to see.

But first, she needed to make sure Kikyo was settled quite nicely within the penthouse she had purchased all those many decades ago. It had been a property that she had bought prior to her eldest child even contemplating mating and settling down. She had not even seen the place preferring to buy the place sight unseen. She had planned on giving it to Sesshomaru upon the day of his mating, but she held back. She wanted the property to be used as a sanctuary for either herself or her daughter-in-law without fear of being found out, but the chance had never been given.

A dark smile tugged on the corners of her mouth as Kikyo stepped down onto the tarmac beside her.

“I fear you have something up your sleeves, Kimi-san,” Kikyo observed uncertain whether to be fearful or sympathetic to the one who was about to receive a visit from the demoness. The eldest daughter of the Higurashi family was no fool to believe that Kimi would join her on the ride to the penthouse. No, she knew that Kimi had other plans…had seen it in the way the woman had kept herself busy on the flight to Tokyo. She had heard snippets of conversation floating in her direction when Kimi either thought she had been asleep or did not care that Kikyo knew of her plans.

The demoness turned her head and that dark smile only widened offering Kikyo a glimpse of sharp teeth. “You are starting to know me quite as well as Kagome,” Kimi remarked watching two limos approach them, “but you are correct – you will be going to the penthouse without me. I have some <i>business</i> to take care of, but once I am finished you and I will have a delightful dinner together and we will discuss the upcoming meeting with the Council.”

Kikyo bowed her head to the elder demoness. “Of course,” she answered watching as the attendants pack the suitcases into the back of one of the limos, “I will look forward to the dinner conversation.” There was a small pause before she continued, “I will use the time in seeing how my sister and the others are doing in Scotland.”

Kimi nodded her head. “Be careful with any conversation you have with them,” Kimi warned. “The penthouse I am sending you to – no one knows I own it. Any conversation you have may be monitored especially if anyone becomes aware that I have returned to Tokyo, and they may mistake you for your sister.”

“I will see to it that my conversation with them is short and to the point,” Kikyo promised with a small smile. She made her way to the limo and turned once more to the demoness. “I will see you shortly then.”

Kimi watched as Kikyo ducked into the back of the limo and the door close. Once the limo pulled away, Kimi’s golden eyes drew to the limo that awaited her. As the door opened, she was momentarily surprised to find Jaken sitting there waiting for her.

“Jaken,” she acknowledged with a tilt of her head, “I was not expecting you.”

The little toad wrenched his hands in worry. He knew that his arrival to greet InuKimi would probably not go unnoticed and certainly there would be someone here in the airport, that if they saw him talking to Sesshomaru’s mother, they would certainly alert not only his master but Toga as well. It was not something Jaken wanted to dwell upon, but it was something that unsettled itself within his small mind.

“I had not planned to greet you upon your return to Tokyo, Kimi-sama,” Jaken stated softly watching the demoness slide into place beside him and the door close once she had settled in her seat, “but I had a feeling that you have plans to visit someone before you even let Sesshomaru-sama and Toga-sama know of your arrival.”

Kimi was surprised, if anything, to have Jaken’s company. Long ago, the small toad had once been in her service. That had been until her son had done something so spectacular in the eyes of the small kappa that it earned his eternal devotion. It had been, for the most part, cute in Kimi’s eyes but then, she saw potential of an ally in her son’s ranks. She knew that, although devoted to her son, Jaken still had loyalty to her first and foremost. It had been from him that she had learned that Sesshomaru had finally found himself a mate.

“Does my son know you are gone?” Kimi inquired curiously.

The old kappa shook his head. “He has not been home for quite some time. I suspect he is with his sire.”

Again, I am not sure when this chapter will be out. I am currently working on it. This particular piece was written because I have an idea (with the next chapter) where it is going and know it is not going to be pretty for Sango. >>

I am hoping to have this chapter out before I return to work on Wednesday. I am going to try but again I am not promising anything.

By the way, I already have the title ready for Chapter Eleven. Look for that to be announced once this chapter has been released.

I don't have a pic tease for this chapter so I'm posting a word teaser instead!

Summer Rose: Chapter Ten Teaser!

The shrill sound of my phone ringing breaks me out of my good mood, a shadow of darkness that is my fear filling my bones and running through my veins, crippling me. I sit frozen in place, staring at it as it rings. Alice picks it up and answers, her voice sounding far away as she speaks to whoever is on the other end of the phone.

She nudges me a few times, saying my name softly and snapping me out of my stupor. She smiles encouragingly. “They wouldn’t tell me anything.”

Taking the phone from her, I place it against my ear and let out a shaky breath. “Hello?”

"Hi, Mrs. Masen?"

"Call me Bella," I reply politely.

"Bella then, this is Doctor Carlisle Cullen from the medical station in Afghanistan."

“Hi, Doctor Cullen.” I greet kindly. “How can I help you?”

"I was given your number to keep you updated on your husband’s condition."

"How is he?" I ask anxiously.

"His blood pressure is stable and he’s breathing on his own now,"

"Thank god." I reply, breathing a sigh of relief.

"But I’m sorry to say he’s still unresponsive at this time." He says, sounding genuinely upset.

"Okay," I choke, taking a shaky breath.

"Don’t give up hope, Bella," he says sincerely. "We’ve had many recoveries from cases like this."

"I’ll try, Doctor Cullen." I reply sadly.

"Call me Carlisle, dear." He chuckles, mimicking my earlier request. "I’ll call you if anything changes."

"Thank you." I whisper sadly before hanging up.

Chapter Ten Teaser

“At least I don’t have to bear the night with Collins,” Lizzie commented, before she scrunched up her nose in disgust.

Charlotte frowned before returning to paint her nails. Jane looked at her and then at Lizzie. She mouthed, “Stop it.”

Lizzie laughed before she noticed her sister’s repetitive glances at Charlotte. She fell silent before she inaudibly gasped. “Lottie? You and Collins?”

Charlotte looked up at her and snapped, “Yes, so what?”

Taken aback by her friend’s outburst, she replied softly, “But he’s…he’s…Collins!”

Frowning, Charlotte sighed, “He’s not so bad, when you get to know him, Lizzie.”

Lizzie’s eyes widened and she looked at her as though Charlotte had grown another head. Unwilling to explain further, Charlotte blew on her fingernails to quickly dry them and then got off of Jane’s bed.

“I’ve got to go. See you tomorrow?” Charlotte muttered, before she rushed out the door.

When they heard the front door close, Lizzie turned to her sister in shock and whispered, “Collins?”
