Chapter One: Moving In
Kagome gasped at the sight of her new house. She couldn't believe what she saw.
"Mom…., it's…beautiful. It looks just like a castle illustrated from a fairy tale." Her father chuckled and grabbed his seventeen year old daughter into a tight hug.
"So I take it you're going to forgive me for taking you from the Big Apple, right?"
"Not just yet, dad." Kagome smiled and broke free from her dad's grip, running to her new home that sat on the beach with an ocean view. Her father chuckled once again, rejoining his wife who shared his smile. With an arm around her waist, he pulled her closer to him.
Smiling at the couple who stayed like that for a moment, Kagome sighed above from the balcony. 'I wish Kouga and I could be together like that again.' Her blue eyes scattered to the scene of her little brother making a fool of himself chasing their cat, Buyo. Little Souta was only seven years old. She watched how he sprinted across the hot bright yellow sand barefoot after their cat who ran with great speed.
'Someday he will be such a handsome boy with all the girls chasing him like how he's chasing Buyo… Kouga .' The cat whom explored the outside of their new home seemed to be happy that they have left their old apartment. Laughing at Souta who had just stumbled upon himself, she laughed harder at the glare that came her way and quickly looked away.
"You could be free to help any time you know."
"Yeah I know."
Souta grunted as he helped himself up and Kagome decided to come down from the balcony of her new room to help her little brother. Running down the stairs and almost through the door, the pet food Buyo liked so much caught her eye. Grabbing the bag, she made her way out the door.
"Now watch and learn little brother," she said settling on the yellow sand. "Humph," was all the reply she received and began to work always stealing a glance or two from the boy with his hands crossed and looking the other way.
"Here Buyo, Buyo, come here my little kitten… I've got some yummy…. umm…cat food." Kagome didn't really know what the food Buyo ate was made of and by the looks of it Souta didn't know either.
"You really think Buyo is going to buy that, you don't even know what exactly that is anyhow." It didn't matter anyways because Buyo came running into her arms that carried the bag. Souta's eyes widen for a moment, but then returned back to normal with a quiet response to the action.
"I thought of that before you even came, but I didn't think it will work."
"Sure you did…" Kagome replied with a smile then stood up. Ruffling his hair a bit, he smiled and took the cat and his sister's hand in the other. His brown eyes twinkled with mischief.
"Let's see what mom and dad are up to."
"Yeah."
With that they ran back into their new home together.
The moving van came days ago so they're house was already packed with brand new furniture they brought a month ago. Sure enough there was their mother and father laying down on the red velvet love seat in the living room with their mother stretching her back with her arms around their father's neck who was on top of her lip locking.
"Eww….." Souta shouted.
"Get a room," Kagome screeched.
It was so much fun to see their father lifting his tomato painted face. Kagome moved closer to see her mother's reaction only to find her mother's blue cotton shirt more than half unbuttoned revealing a black bra. Before they can come any closer their father threw a red velvet pillow that matched his wife and his face signaling his kids who wore wide grins not to come any closer.
Kagome and Souta ran out, but snuck behind the wall that separated the entrance and living room. After a few moments that seemed like forever to them, they slowly poked they're heads out knowing by now their parents had to have forgotten about them. Squinting to see what they were doing, Kagome found that her mother was buttoning her shirt from bottom to top only five buttons away to the top which revealed the valley of her breasts. Their father quickly grabbed her wrapping his arms around her waist letting her back face his chest. He then moved the blue cotton shirt over to leave her bra strap in the way of his lips. Pulling the strap over he kissed her all the way from her shoulder to her earlobe .
"We'll celebrate tonight after the performance on the mainland." As a response to his husky voice, their mother put the strap in place and buttoned the rest of the shirt leaving the first two open. Turning around her seductive whisper filled the room.
"After the kids are asleep we'll sneak out to the west wing"
"I like the way you think"
She finished buttoning her shirt and took her husband's hand in hers. Smiling they began to walk out, freaking out both Souta and Kagome whom both ran to the kitchen. Quickly pulling out two cups of ramen, she turned on the stove, put the water in the pot, and threw the ramen in, trying to act normal.
"Hey mom, hey dad," Souta said casually.
" So you guys had fun," Kagome replied with an innocence smile.
Noticing their blushes, Souta snorted. "You'll never see me do something so gross."
"We'll see when you get older," Kagome said with a laugh.
"Oh you mean that's what you and Kouga used to do?!……… Ewww…. gross." His scrunched up as if he was sucking on a sour lime and then shuddered.
Before anyone could say anything , Kagome stomped out of the kitchen slightly pushing her dad on the way out. Sighing, her mom put her hand on his shoulder for comfort.
"Don't worry, Ikki… she'll get over it soon."
"I hope you're right, Ringo."
'I miss them all… Sango and…. Kouga.'
Opening his eyes, Inuyasha found himself covered with sand. He looked around seeing all the pretty girls in bikinis and sighed thinking of Kikyo. He missed her vanilla scent and the way how her beautiful chocolate eyes used to look up to him with love.
"You have to get over her, Inuyasha."
"Shut up will you," he growled.
He turned himself over to see Miroku looking down at him with pity. "I don't need your stinking pity or your stupid advice on how to get a girl. I have a girlfriend and her name is Kikyo."
"Correction, I believe the keyword is had a girlfriend. Inuyasha she moved and its not like she had a choice, ….besides she was sort of bitchy.
Sighing he knew this was true. Kikyo's mother died a month ago and no one else would take her in. 'I was the only one Kikyo truly had .'
"You don't understand. She's been though so much."
Miroku snorted. "You had never been one for being sympathetic or even sensitive towards others.
Sighing he slowly began to spill Kikyo's story to Miroku whom didn't like her guts one bits
" Kikyo's mother, a beautiful human, was in an arrange marriage with a wealthy demon. Although the demon was deeply in love with her, she didn't feel the same way about him. One day she met another of her species ….and it was a male. Soon after they fell in love and then she got pregnant. Her husband, heartbroken, couldn't believe it. Influenced by others, both humans and demons, he forced her out, leaving him more broken, if possible. Kikyo's mother, however was secretively happy. Skipping along with the moons and the stars, she went to the father of her child only to find him with another woman."
Inuyasha remembered how Kikyo told him how her mother bashed out against the father of her child… and then she too started to cuss her father not knowing where he was or who was he. The cussing turned into sobbing as Inuyasha tried to comfort her.
( Italics would be Inuyasha speaking and the bold would be the other man.)
"You bastard, how could you" she screeched.
"Could you give us some privacy…." that was all he said to the other woman whom left the scene completely confused and oblivious to it all.
A moment of silence filled the air that laid between them. He finally broke the silence but couldn't even look at her in the eye.
"Look, girls are like cities for me. I spend some time in one place and then move onto another exotic place.
"I thought you loved me. What exactly did you feel for me?!" There was another moment of silence that lingered in the air. "Now you can't even answer or fucking look me in the eye!" Her screams echoed onto the streets. She turned to leave with red puffy eyes filled with tears only to be stopped with his quiet response.
" I don't believe in feelings or love." He still hasn't look her in the eye and she still had her back turned to him.
"Funny because I only believe in love. What do you believe in then?"
"…. Needs. I simply believe in needs and fulfilling them."
With two drops fallings, she finally turned back to face him. "Well congratulations. Thanks to your needs, your going to be a father!" A slight gasp left his lips and he finally looked at her. His eyes scanned her body and then sticked on her lower abdominal. She still couldn't look at him. A few moments went by and their gazes finally met.
"Well that's your problem" Although he didn't mean to, he said it regretfully and with sorrow. "I'm sorry, but I'm not ready to commit or to have a child. I really am sorry." And with that he turned and left her to cry that night.
"Miroku…. that's only part of the story." Inuyasha knew there was so much more, more than what he probably knew
Miroku and Kikyo never got along for some reason and he never understood why Inuyasha was interested in her especially when thousands of girls were after him. 'But instead… he chose Kikyo…..'
"She dealt with so many hardships even before she was born….. and so many after her birth." Those very words that Inuyasha said played over and over in his mind. He felt bad for her …. Hell he didn't even like her.
"We should get ready for the performance many people are going to be there tonight." He spoke briefly to Inuyasha but knew his mind was somewhere else.
