Hey there old readers and new ones. This is obviously a new story that I wanted to do. This story is somewhat based off of a song called "She didn't have time" by Terry Clark. The story just kinda started to form after hearing it. But I hope you guys like this story because I'll tell ya it will be a hoot.
Give Love a ChanceKagome thought she had been in love with her college boyfriend, Naraku, but after ending up getting pregnant with his child and having to be married to him for a year, she had learned that she was naïve. Naraku leaves her and their daughter Kimiko. Leaving Kagome took care of their daughter on her own, not wishing to fall in love ever again. But after five years her happily married friends, Miroku and Sango, encourages her to go back out there and find someone. But she refused not wanting another heartache. But one day her car breaks down on her way to work and Inuyasha drives up and helps her. Will she give love a second chance? InuKag, MirSan, a little of SessKagura. Yes I'm doing another Sesshoumaru and Kagura one! I need a different variety of stories with those two as the pairing, since most of my other ones are Sesshoumaru and Rin.
Chapter 1: DisappointmentKagome had been waiting patiently in the living room of a beautiful ranch that she had inherited from her mother and father before moving in with her grandfather at the Higurashi Shrine a little bit outside of Tokyo. She was rocking back and forth in her wooden rocking chair that her loving father had made for her as a wedding present. It was almost midnight and her husband, Naraku Chan, still hasn't come home. Kagome was 21 and Naraku was 23, the two met in college in the school library. Kagome was studying for a huge exam for one of her classes and Naraku was there just fooling around with his college friend, Onigumo. They had begun talking after he bumped into her and Kagome agreed to hangout with him and as the months went on she had started to like him more than just a friend. He seemed to have been a great guy with a caring loving heart. She had falling in love with the boy.
However, she was a naïve girl and told him about her feelings hoping he would feel the same. She had no idea how it happened but he had somehow convinced her to prove it to him and she did the unthinkable…she had sex with Naraku. Wanting to prove that she was in love with him and wanted to be with only him. But again she was naïve, not evening thinking that a few weeks after that she would be pregnant with his child.
After finding out she had gone to tell him, he was not happy about it one bit but decided to take some responsibility and married her, oh so she thought. Right after the two were married Kagome gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Kimiko. Kagome was happy but unknowingly to her…Naraku was not. Kagome, being the responsible one, stayed in school wanting to get her education more than anything while Naraku dropped out to get a job. So after they had been married for a year problems began to arise. Since a few months into their married after Kimiko was born, Naraku was fired from his job at the factory because he accidentally dropped his cigarette into one of the gas machines that he was working at making that part of the factory blow up. She had really detested that habit of his, but knew he wouldn't stop the habit unless he wanted to so she just left it be.
After he got fired Kagome decided to get herself a job while still going to school to help pay the bills so Naraku could take his time getting back on his feet. She began working at the Tokyo bank and loved it. But when she got a job things at her home began to get way out of hand. Naraku began hanging out at the bars with Onigumo and a couple of their college friends, at first she didn't mind but as the months continued to go by Naraku's friends started to come around their home. Every time she would walk into the door expecting to have some piece a quiet after a rough day at school and work she would find Naraku and his friends having a huge drinking party, even with Kimiko in the house! Naraku had even been neglecting Kimiko all the time she was at work. She had scolded Naraku for it but he would just end up ignoring her and continued to do it, but what made it even worse was that some of his friends had tried to rape Kagome. But she never let them, since all she had to do was poke them in the eyes and they were down.
However, what made Kagome even more furious was the fact that Naraku had been cheating on her! How did she know this? Well that's quite obvious with all the phone calls from some girls that she had always received when she was home and always had a couple of hookers coming up to her door, sometimes with Kimiko in her arms, asking for Naraku assuming that Kagome was his sister.
Now that was the last straw! Kagome was going to take care of this once and for all, even if it ends badly. So after she came home from work she had dropped Kimiko off at her older sister, Kikyo's house, for the night and was now just waiting for her darling husband to come home so they could "chat".
Kagome sighed as she glanced up at the clock hanging over their TV, 'He should be here soon.' She thought to herself turning her attention back towards the front door, 'He usually leaves the bar or those parties at least around 11pm.'
Her thoughts were immediately interrupted by the sound of a car door slamming. Kagome crossed her arms while narrowing her eyes as she stared at the front door. The door opened revealing Kagome's so called husband, Naraku.
"Oh man! Was that one hell of a party!" Naraku laughed out loudly in a slurry tone meaning he was drunk.
Kagome grumbled, 'Good thing Kimiko is with Kikyo for the night.' She stood up and called his name out firmly, "Naraku."
Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts to look at her, he narrowed his eyes, "Oh it's you." He crossed his arms, "Shouldn't you be in bed or something? You do have work in the morning."
"Oh I took the liberty of asking the day off so I take my "time" tonight talking to you." Kagome told him in a mocky angry tone.
"Talk?" Naraku repeated not liking the sound of that. He was in such a good mood before coming into this hell that he dared to call a home.
"Yes about what has been going on these past few months." Kagome replied in a slight snarl glaring up at him.
"Oh great don't tell me you have more things to complain about?" Naraku growled out, 'She is such a whiny bitch!'
"Well I have the right to complain considering of all the shit you have done these past few months!" Kagome said loudly.
"Oh I have done nothing! You are just being a moody bitch." Naraku snapped at her.
Kagome jerked before growling and shouted, "Yeah right you bastard! How could you call sitting on your lazy ass something you haven't done!?"
"Hey I just lost my job! A job that I liked!" Naraku defended.
"Oh and it is taking you almost a full year for you to get back on your feet practically leaving all the bills and responsibilities for me to handle!" Kagome argued loudly waving her hand up in the air.
"That's because you're my bitch! Meaning you do everything and everything that I ask while I just relax and have a rocking time!" Naraku told her confidently.
"What!?" Kagome screeched out, "I am not your fucking bitch! I am your wife! You should be supporting me and helping me out with all of this! Including taking care of your daughter, who you have been neglecting and letting your messed up friends into the house with her in here! Don't you even care about your own daughter's safety!? Especially with you guys drinking all the time!"
"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I don't care for her?"
Kagome gasped and shouted, "How could you not care for your own daughter!? Your own flesh and blood!? Since if it wasn't for her we wouldn't have been brought together!"
"Which is precisely the point!" Naraku growled out loudly.
Kagome gasped as she jerked back feeling her heart break.
"Since if it wasn't for that stupid brat I wouldn't be married to you!" Naraku pointed out to her loudly.
Kagome stood there speechless totally shocked of what she was hearing. Was the alcohol getting to him?
She growled as tears began to form in her eyes and shouted at him, "Don't go blaming this on Kimiko! She doesn't deserve the blame! We are the ones to blame for doing it in the first place!"
"Okay then you're to blame for this!" Naraku said loudly pointing his finger at her.
"Me!? How the hell is this my fault!?" Kagome asked loudly glaring at him.
"You just had to say you loved me and look where your love got us." Naraku replied in a mocking tone.
"Hey you were the one that told me to proved that I loved you and I did! I did that because I loved you and I wanted to be with you!" Kagome defended loudly.
"Well had it ever occurred to you that maybe I didn't want to be with you!" Naraku pointed out gruffly at her with his eyes narrowed.
Kagome gaped as her eyes went wide, "Wh-What?"
"I thought you would have figured this out by now." Naraku grunted closing his eyes as he rubbed his head before glaring at her, "I only said that so I could steal your virginity."
Kagome gasped as her heart shattered.
"I never loved you I just went out with you until I got you laid and then afterwards I would dump you." Naraku hissed at her.
Kagome felt her heart burn up and narrowed her eyes and growled out loudly, "If that's how you fucking felt then why did you even fucking agree to marry me!?"
"Heh." Naraku shrugged, "Did it figuring I would get a couple kicks out of." He smirked, "And sex anytime I wanted it."
Kagome growled, "You pig!"
SLAP
Naraku's eyes went wide after feeling Kagome's hard hand slap him right across his cheek.
"How dare you toy with my emotions you jerk!?" Kagome growled out in a slight sob glaring at him with such hatred, "I loved you! I REALLY LOVED YOU NARAKU!"
Naraku growled narrowing his eyes, "You fucking bitch!" Then in one quick move Naraku punched Kagome hard in the gut causing her to gasp out getting the air knocked out of her.
Naraku then grabbed her neck and threw her across the room making her slam right into the wall knocking some of the frames off of the wall.
Kagome groaned in pain as she slowly got up off of the floor while leaning against the wall. She looked up just in time to have Naraku grabbed her neck again and slammed her against the wall again.
"AH!" Kagome yelped in pain while feeling her body throb in pain.
"No one hits me! Not even a fucking women, even if she is my wife!" Naraku growled lowly at her glaring at her meeting her slowly opened eyes, "No one slaps me and expects to live afterwards."
Kagome growled and snarled softly, "Let…go of me!" She gripped onto his sleeves and shocked him with bright purple bolts.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Naraku yelled in pain as he was forced to let go of her and was thrown back and slammed into the couch making it flip over.
Kagome panted as she gently touched her neck and growled before shouting at him, "You are now never allowed to touch me ever again!"
Naraku growled as he started to stand up, "Oh really?" He glared at her, "Well I'm sorry my sweet Kagome but I'm going to have to if I'm going to kill you!" He charged towards her again.
This time Kagome was prepared and quickly held up her hands to produce and barrier causing Naraku to slam into it and pushed him back onto the ground.
Naraku growled again as he sat up to meet Kagome's glare.
She snarled, "Get out!" She then shouted it again, "GET OUT!"
"Oh you are not kicking me out of my house!" Naraku shouted at her wanting nothing more than to charge right at her again but he couldn't because of the barrier around Kagome.
"Since when was this ever your house!?" Kagome shouted at him, "You have never even paid the moorage, I have! I also inherited this house from my parents meaning that this house is again mine!"
"Doesn't mean I still can't take it from you." Naraku snarled motioning to step towards her.
Kagome jerked keeping her glare and shouted, "If you come near me I'll purify you to hell!"
Naraku jerked and immediately stepped back but continued to glare at her as she continued to shout at him, "If you don't get out of my house right this instant I will call the police!"
Kagome then screamed, "NOW GET OUT!"
Naraku growled not making a move, he knew he was defeated, since if he charged her he knew she would purify him in an instant, Kagome was a very strong miko and could very well send him to hell. If he also didn't leave she would call the cops on him and knew that with him drunk the cops would believe her in a heartbeat.
He grunted having no choice but to walk out the front door once again but not before brutally slamming it shut practically shaking the whole house.
Kagome sighed as she put down her barrier and listened as she heard a car door slam again and heard the car leave the driveway never to be seen again.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome screamed out in frustration as she ran up to her room and went towards his dresser and threw each and every drawer out of it and threw it onto the floor dumping all the clothes out of them making a huge mess. But she didn't care she was furious and probably punch anything that got in her way right now. She picked up some of Naraku's clothes and started ripping them to shreds and tossing them in the garbage can. She then went over towards her dresser, his dresser and their end tables and knocked all the picture frames of her and him right off of them breaking them and then throwing the pictures into the garbage can again.
After her room was completely torn apart ripping up anything that was his she finally sat on her queen-sized bed and curled up into a ball and began to cry.
'How? How could he do this to me!? I loved him.' Kagome thought softly to herself as sobs started to come out of the throat, 'I loved him with all my heart and he just throws it aside like none of it even mattered!'
Kagome opened her eyes to stare at the wall, 'I was so stupid. How could I have been so stupid to not see he didn't feel the same way I did!?' She sighed, 'I probably saw it but didn't want to believe it because of my love towards him.'
Kagome narrowed her eyes, 'I swear from this day forward I will NEVER fall for another man as long as I live!!'
5 years have now past since Kagome and Naraku separated and no one as ever saw Naraku again. The first few months had been hard on Kagome, mainly emotionally. Everything was now on her shoulders, including taking care of Kimiko. But thanks to her family and her friends she was able to put through the hard times and came back to being happy. Kimiko was also a big help to Kagome, because Kimiko was what helped keep Kagome going. Seeing her daughter smile and happy and just spending every moment with her…made her life worthwhile. She really loved Kimiko and was thanking God that he had brought her into his life, even though she had to get her through a heartless jerk, but she had to admit something good came out of it. Kagome finally graduated from college, which was precisely three years ago, and she had started to work at the bank full time because she loved it so much. She loved it because after her divorce with Naraku her manager and boss gave her reasonable hours for her so she could take care of her daughter. She was grateful for that, she was grateful for everything. She had all she needed, her friends, her family and of course Kimiko. She didn't need anything else not even a man.
It was a beautiful Thursday afternoon and Kagome was working at the bank finishing up with a customer.
Kagome sighed as she typed in some numbers and went into the register and took out the money, that the middle-aged man in front of her asked to withdrawal, and handed it to the man.
She smiled, "Here you go. I hope you and your family have a great trip."
The man returned the smile and tipped his hat at her, "Thanks I hope so too. I would hate to have it be a drag."
Kagome chuckled lightly, "I'm sure no one does."
"Have a good day." The man called out to her as he waved.
Kagome waved, "Thanks you too sir!"
"Ah Kagome you are just a sweet person."
Kagome stopped waving and turned her attention towards the voice only to groan, "Oh good afternoon…Mr. Wolf."
The bank's new manager, Koga Wolf, chuckled as he walked up to her station, "Oh Kagome you don't have to call me Mr. Wolf, you can just call me Koga. We are not trying to be formal here or anything."
Kagome smiled weakly, "I'd rather call you Mr. Wolf okay?" 'Why must he do this everyday? Can't he get the message that I want him to leave me alone?'
Koga had started working here two years after she graduated from college and ever since he started working here he had been hitting on Kagome. Kagome did not like it one bit, but was being nice and just acted friendly towards him. But as the months went on she began to find him…very annoying. She'd admit he had his moments when he was nice but…he's a bit of a bragger and too full of himself. But what she found more annoying was that after the first week with him working here he had already claimed her his woman! Now that just infuriated her! So she stopped being friendly towards him and started becoming hostile towards him to get him off of her back. But apparently it ain't working all that well.
Koga became that manager after the old one retired wanting to travel around the world and he was good friends with the old manager and that's how he got his new position. Now that is what infuriated her the most, since now he could schedule her anytime he wanted her to come, which was like everyday that he was there. The day he became the manager was when she started to detest working at this particular bank.
Koga sighed in slight disappointment, "Well if that's what suits you…"
"Yes it does now if you don't mind I'm in the middle of work." Kagome cut him off getting back to her paper work.
"And that's precisely why I'm here to talk to you." Koga said quickly stepping in front of her station catching her attention again, he holding out a piece of paper, "I'm actually out here to give you and everyone else their schedules for next month."
"Oh let me see it." Kagome replied holding out her hand ushering him to give it to her.
Koga smirked, "I will if you give me a kiss."
Kagome narrowed her eyes and snarled, "How about I punch you in the face?"
Koga jerked getting a cold vibe from, "Okay here." He handed her the piece of paper and sighed, 'Jeez why must she be so hostile?'
Kagome inspected the paper and sighed in relief, 'Good I have mostly all the weekends off this month. Meaning I can spend more time with Kimiko.'
"Oh and before I forget…" Kagome looked up at him who smiled brightly, "We are kinda short on staff tomorrow because of everyone going leaving on vacation because of the three day weekend that the schools are giving the kids. So I want you to come in tomorrow."
"What!?" Kagome gaped out loudly with wide eyes starting to feel her heart beginning to break, "But…that's not right. I asked for tomorrow off!"
"Well I did give you the weekend off." Koga reassured her proudly, "You'll have plenty of time to rest up for next week."
"No no that's not why I asked for tomorrow off." Kagome started to explain in slight panic, "The reason I asked tomorrow off is because that's my daughter's first T-Ball game and I promised her I would be there for her."
Kagome had never broken a promise to Kimiko and she sure as hell wasn't going to start now.
Koga shrugged, "Don't worry your family will be there for her. Besides there will always be other games." He walked away and smiled back at her, "See ya tomorrow Kagome." 'And tomorrow I'll have you all to myself.'
Kagome growled as she watched him walk back into his office, 'Damn him! Damn him to hell!'
"Man what an ass." She heard a voice grumble from behind her.
"Mm?" Kagome mumbled as she turned around to find her best friend, Sango Hiroshima, rolling her chair to look at Kagome.
"To have you come in tomorrow after you requested it like last week and when it's Kimiko's first game." Sango hissed out with her eyes narrowed.
"Heh no kidding." Kagome snorted in a slight snarl as she crossed her arms, she then sighed in disappointment, "This is so frustrating! I have never broken a promise to Kimiko and now thanks to him I have to break it!" Kagome felt like she wanted to cry, "You know how I hate disappointing her."
Sango looked at her with sad eyes, "Yeah I know." She narrowed her eyes, "And I swear if he wasn't the manager I would kick his fucking ass to Timbuktu!"
"Way ahead of you Sango." Kagome replied.
Sango had been Kagome's best friend since they were in college. So Sango knows about all the things that had happened to Kagome. From the time she met Naraku, had sex with him and ending up getting pregnant with his baby. To the time they got married, to their separation and everything that has happened up till today. Sango was the main one that has been there for her, especially during college when Kagome was under so much stress. Sango began working at the bank a few months after Kagome did, since she was going into a banker as a career in the first place. Kagome just got it to get a job, since they needed the money.
Sango was married to her college boyfriend, Miroku Hiroshima, who's now working as a substitute teacher working his way up to becoming an actual high school history teacher. Miroku and Sango met around campus by Miroku grabbing Sango's ass earning him a hard, hurtful slap. But a few days after that the two started slowly get together to hangout and such and eventually, sometime after Kagome had sex with Naraku, became a couple. Miroku was a very sweet man, a perverted man, but sweet nonetheless.
Anyone could see after they started going out that they were made for each other and they knew this as well. So a year after they graduated from college they two were married and have been married for three long happy years.
Kagome grunted as she pointing towards Koga's office door, "Ever since he has started working here I have detested this place."
"Yeah me too. He makes everything here so not worth it." Sango agreed in a monotone.
"You know…this is almost making me considering of getting a job in another bank. I mean there are plenty of other banks in Tokyo." Kagome said more to herself than Sango.
"Yeah you should and when you decide tell me, because I won't stay in this place as much as you do." Sango reminded her.
Kagome chuckled lightly smiling at her best friend, "Yeah I'll remember that. So why don't we both search around for a way better bank than this."
"Righty oh captain." Sango replied giving her a soldiers' solute.
Kagome just chuckled while shaking her head, "You always have a way to make me feel better."
"Hey that's what friends are for." Sango reminded her softly as she smiled warmly at her, "We stick together like glue."
Kagome just smiled at her, 'I'm glad she's here with me. I don't know what I'd do if she weren't here, especially at this bank. I think I probably would have killed Koga by now.' Kagome looked up at the clock over the lobby it was almost three, "Oh!"
Kagome quickly grabbed her purse, "Speaking of my daughter." She looked back at Sango, "I have to go pick her up from school."
"Oh that's right she started school this year." Sango pointed out to herself smiling as she stood up, "So how's Kimiko doing in kindergarten?"
Kagome smiled at her, "Oh she's doing great! She absolutely loves it, which is something I would expect from my little girl."
Sango chuckled, "Yeah that girl is almost a spitting image of you Kagome." Her head jerked as a thought popped into her head, "Say how about Miroku and I coming over this evening and just hangout with you and Kimiko? Does that sound okay to you?"
"Okay? Sango, Kimiko and I would be thrilled if you two would come over. Kimiko loves it when you two come by." Kagome exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay then it's a date. See ya tonight." Sango called out to her as she walked out of the building.
"See ya!" Kagome called back to her.
Kagome leaned against her red four door tracker as she waited, outside of Shikon Elementary School, for her daughter, Kimiko to come out.
She grumbled, 'How do I tell her? I know she will be totally disappointed.'
BRRRINNNGGGG
Kagome's head jerked up when she heard the bell ring meaning school had been let out for the three day weekend that had been coming their way. She watched as the doors went flying opening as kids from kindergarten to the six grade coming out of the school. Walking towards the other cars, the buses or just plainly walked to get back home.
Kagome glanced around searching for her 5 year old Kimiko in the crowd of children.
"Mommy!" She heard a sweet baby sounding young voice call out to her.
Kagome looked ahead towards the doors and smiled when she spotted Kimiko running towards her with her brown, fuzzy teddy bear with a blue tie and vest in her arms. Kimiko had Naraku's colored hair but had Kagome's sweet innocent chocolate brown eyes. She was a very beautiful child built the same exact way Kagome was when she was her head.
Kimiko was wearing blue jean overalls that had a picture of pikachu and a poke-ball in the middle and a white tee-shirt underneath the straps and had blue and white sneakers on.
"Hey mommy!" Kimiko greeted smiling as she hugged her mother.
Kagome sighed pleasantly, "Hey to you too sweetie." She kissed Kimiko's small head before pulling away from her smiling brightly, "So how is my baby?"
Kimiko smiled cutely, "Me good mommy." She tilted her head down at her teddy bear, "Misty good too."
"Well I'm glad to hear that both of you are good." Kagome replied pleasantly.
"Oh and Misty and me made you this drawing mommy!" Kimiko exclaimed proudly as she handed her paper to Kagome.
Kagome smiled warmly taking the paper from her as she knelt down to her level, "Oh sweetie you two didn't have to do that."
The paper had a painting on it of what Kagome could tell was a picture of Kagome, Kimiko and her teddy bear, Misty. Kagome was painted in a blue, Kimiko was painted in pink and Misty was in purple and Kimiko had painted an orange sun. In the back she there were a couple of more people, of what Kagome guessed was Sango and Miroku. Miroku was green and Sango was red.
"But me wanted too, because we love you mommy." Kimiko said sweetly still smiling hugging her teddy tightly.
Kagome smiled at her, "Awww." She hugged her daughter, "Well I love you too Kimiko and Misty." She pulled away slightly still smiling at her, "When we get home we are putting this right on the fridge okay."
Kimiko's smile grew bigger, "Okay!"
Kagome chuckled as she stood up, "Now let's be on our way you two." Kagome opened the car door and helped Kimiko hop into the car and put her in her car seat.
Kagome went up to the driver's seat once Kimiko was securely strapped in and started the car and drove off home.
"So how was school today Kimiko?" Kagome asked as she glanced into her mirror to look back at Kimiko.
Kimiko smiled, "It was fun! Ms. Taka taught us a new song want to hear it!?"
Kagome giggled still smiling, "Sure let's hear it."
"A B C D E F G H I…J K L…M N O P…Q R S…T U V…W X Y and Z now I know my ABCs next time won't you sing with me." Kimiko sang happily.
"Oh that was sweet baby." Kagome complement, "You sang it so well."
"Thank you mommy!" Kimiko exclaimed loving the praise.
"Why don't you sing that to Miroku and Sango tonight when they come to visit?" Kagome suggesting hinting to her about them coming over.
Kimiko gasped her smile going from cheek to cheek, "Auntie Sango and Uncle Miroku are coming over to my house!?"
Kagome giggled nodding her head, "Yep that's right."
"YAHHHHH! Me wanted to see them so bad!" She held up her teddy bear, "Misty did too!"
Kagome just chuckled at her sweet baby girl, "And Aunt Sango and Uncle Miroku wanted to see you two as well."
"Good thing me drew them in the drawing huh mommy." Kimiko said to her.
"Yep sure was." Kagome replied brightly.
KNOCK-KNOCK
Kagome raced to the door not wearing her suit and now wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a blue tee-shirt and socks with her hair up in a ponytail. She opened the door and smiled at Miroku and Sango whom were right outside the door.
"Miroku!" She hugged him and then hugged Sango, "Sango! It's so nice to have you guys over."
"Glad you think so." Miroku replied smiling at her.
"Well come in come in don't be standing out there all day." Kagome said ushering them in smiling at them, "Kimiko was so excited when I told her you guys were coming over."
"Aw where is the little tike?" Miroku asked glancing around for her.
"Oh she's in her room playing with her teddy and her toys." Kagome answered him as she led them into the kitchen.
"Mmmm it smell really good in here." Sango complemented as they sat at the dinning table.
Kagome smiled at her, "Thanks! I'm making steak, mashed potatoes and corn."
"Wow, you are going all out just for us?" Miroku asked and pretended to sniff as he wiped a fake tear from his eyes, "I am so touched Kagome."
Kagome rolled her eyes still smiling, "Well you guys are my guests and I have to feed you well enough so you guys aren't starving when you go home."
"True enough." Miroku replied pointing a finger at her, "I tell ya working with high schoolers' really works up an appetite."
"Got another subbing job?" Kagome asked as she checked up on the steaks in the oven.
"Yeah and let me tell ya those kids are a piece of work." Miroku groaned out as he leaned back on the dinning chair.
"Well that's high school kids for you. You should have known that by now Miroku, considering you were one." Sango pointed out to him.
"Yeah I know. But I really want to teach kids so I guess with every job there is always some sacrifice to be made." Miroku replied wisely while tilting his head at his wife.
"Ain't that the truth." Kagome replied leaning her arm on the counter with her hand on her hip holding an oven mitt in her hand, "I'm already making a sacrifice just to work at that stupid bank!"
Miroku sighed while crossing his arms, "Is Koga still hitting on you?"
"That and he scheduled me to work tomorrow." Kagome complained to him as she sat across from them.
"You're kidding me!?" Miroku gaped out in shock, "I thought you asked tomorrow off considering the fact tomorrow's Kimiko's first game?"
"I did but that stupid asshole, Koga, refused my request and I bet ya any money that he has to work tomorrow!" Kagome replied loudly still furious at him.
Miroku sighed in disappointment, "I swear I think that guy is trying to get in your pants or something."
"That's what's worrying me!" Kagome told them loudly, "After the whole thing with Naraku I don't want to deal with anymore men! Which is why I'm refusing Koga's flirting in the first place."
"Though I'll admit I can't blame ya for not wanting to be with him. He is full of himself and if he's scheduling you on a day that's important to your daughter and doesn't even care then that probably means he's not to fond of kids." Sango pointed out to her gruffly hating the fact that someone would hate kids.
"So starting today I'm going to search around for a new bank to work at. Since I refuse to work with that shit head any longer!" Kagome replied crossing her arms.
"Yeah I think that would be a wise idea. If Koga is making your work life over there horrible then just go to a different bank." Miroku replied approving of her decision.
"And who knows…" Kagome and Miroku looked at Sango who smirked, "Maybe one of these days you'll meet a far better man than Naraku and Koga."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Oh please like I would even waste my time looking for a man." She looked at Sango, "I have too many things to do Sango. I can't afford to get mixed up with a stupid man."
"Hey I'm a man and you're calling me stupid!?" Miroku said firmly pretending to sound hurt.
Kagome chuckled rolling her eyes, "Well…expect you Miroku."
"But Kagome," Kagome looked back at Sango who looked at her with concern, "I really think you should get back out there and try finding someone. Just because things didn't work out with you and Naraku doesn't mean it won't work out with every guy you meet."
Kagome narrowed her eyes, "Sorry Sango, but right now my main focus is getting a new job at a new bank, dealing with that asshole Koga and taking care of my daughter. I can't focus on those things if I'm off searching for a guy who probably never exists."
Sango was about to argue.
"Mommy me hungry!"
The three adults immediately stopped the conversation when they looked towards the opening of the kitchen as Kimiko, still holding onto her teddy bear, came walking in rubbing her belly.
Kagome giggled as she smiled, "Dinner should be done in a few minutes sweet. Just be patient."
"Can I have a cookie while me wait?" Kimiko asked.
"No snacks before supper." Kagome said firmly.
Kimiko grumbled but jerked her head when she noticed Miroku and Sango sitting at the table, she smiled, "Hi Auntie Sango! Hi Uncle Miroku!"
Sango and Miroku smiled.
"Hey sweetheart." Sango greeted as Kimiko ran up to her, "How's my favorite girl?"
Kimiko smiled brightly, "Me good…just hungry."
"Yeah I can hear your stomach growling from all the way back here." Miroku teased her.
"No you can't." Kimiko giggled smiling up at him.
Miroku smiled, "Oh yes I can. I can hear it going grumble, grumble, globbe."
Kimiko rubbed her small belly, "Can you rweally Uncle Miroku?"
"No it's just playing with you Kimiko." Sango tattled on her husband.
"Hey! You tattle tail!" Miroku gaped playfully.
Sango smiled back at him, "Sorry Miroku but she had to know you can't hear that well."
"Oh I am so getting you tonight for that." Miroku teased her blowing his breath on her ear making her shiver in delight.
"Okay okay not in front of my daughter please." Kagome scolded playfully as she stood up from the chair, "I don't want her to end up puking because of you two."
"Fine I'll stop." Miroku replied before he flashed a perverted grin, "For now."
Sango rolled her eyes, "You will never change will you Miroku?"
"Nope, because you love me like this." Miroku said softly to her in a playful way.
"Miroku, don't make me put you in a time out!" Kagome scolded playfully.
"Yeah put Uncle Miroku in time out! He been a bad boy!" Kimiko played along not really understanding what was happening.
"Aw Kimiko you are making me sad." Miroku said pouting playfully.
Kimiko giggled as she climbed up on his lap and hugged him, "Me love you Uncle Miroku."
Miroku smiled as he hugged her back, "Good you better love me."
Kimiko giggled at him, "You're funny."
"Okay dinner is now ready." Kagome announced as she began setting up the table.
"Yah! Me hungry!" Kimiko cheered happily.
Kagome, Miroku and Sango just laughed at the little 5-year-old.
It was 8pm and Kagome and Kimiko said goodbye to Miroku and Sango as they retreated back to their own home for the night.
"Thanks for dinner it was great." Sango thanked hugged Kagome and Kimiko.
"Yeah I enjoyed it as well." Kagome replied softly happy that they were here tonight.
"Me had fun too!" Kimiko exclaimed happily.
They chuckled as they looked at her.
"Yeah you really tired Uncle Miroku out with all that dancing you made him do." Sango pointed out to her.
"No he's not." Kimiko said smiling in disbelieve.
"Oh yeah…you did." Miroku panted out trying to catch his breath after dancing with the young girl for almost three hours.
"But you're Uncle Miroku! You never tired." Kimiko told him.
"Oh Uncle Miroku can get tired, especially if you work him out long enough." Miroku explained to her.
"But don't worry sweetie by the next time you see him he'll be all ready to play with you again." Sango reassured her brightly.
"YAH!" Kimiko cheered and smiled back at him, "Then we can dance again Uncle Miroku!"
"Yeah…great Kimiko." Miroku said weakly to her.
He looked at his wife, "We should get going hun."
Sango nodded before smiling back at Kagome, "Well see you tomorrow at the game."
Kagome sighed nodding her head, "Sure."
Sango and Miroku smiled at them one last time before closing the door behind them and left for their home.
Kagome sighed and looked down at Kimiko who then yawned.
Kagome smiled, "I think someone is tired."
Kimiko jerked, "No me not tired! Me wide awake!"
Kagome just chuckled at her daughter before picking her up with Kimiko holding onto her teddy bear's one arm in her hand, "Well let's just put your pjs on and talk okay."
Kimiko smiled softly, "Okay mommy."
Kagome sighed as she walked her down the hallway to Kimiko's room. The walls were painted white with a pink, red and purple heart board circling the upper part of the wall, the carpet was a mix of purple and red. Kimiko's bed was a small twin sized bed with pink sheets and a red and white quilt with hearts scattered on it. There was a brown wooden dresser and a sliding closet, next to her dresser was a plastic blue toy box that had random toys in front of it. Though most of the toys made their way towards the middle of the room but they were mostly in front of the toy box.
Kagome sighed as she walked in, "One of these days I should have you clean up this room."
"But me like it this way." Kimiko told her tilting her head up at her.
Kagome looked at her as she set her on her bed, "Yeah but you or I could end up hurting ourselves if we step or trip over one of your toys and you don't want that do you."
"No." Kimiko said shyly laying her teddy bear right next to her.
Kagome smiled softly grabbed her pjs off of the bed, "Then this weekend you and I will clean up this room okay."
Kimiko gave her a small smile, "Okay mommy."
Kagome giggled as she changed Kimiko into her purple nightie outlined in white. She sighed as she picked up Kimiko's clothes and put them in the hamper. She looked back at Kimiko who was sitting cross-legged on her bed now holding her teddy.
She smiled, "What you want to talk about mommy?"
Kagome sighed sadly as she walked up to her and sat on the bed beside her, "Honey, I have something…I need to tell you."
Kimiko's smile faded once she heard her mother's voice and instantly knew something was wrong, "What wrong mommy?"
Kagome wrapped her arm around her shoulder while looking down at her, "Well…mommy's boss did a mean thing to her today."
"Then put him in time out." Kimiko replied narrowing her eyes as she waved a finger at him, "If he mean then he go in time out."
Kagome chuckled light heartedly, "I wish it was that easy Kimiko. But I can't if I want to keep my job."
Kimiko tilted her head as she heard her mother sigh, "Kimiko, I don't think I'll be able to make it to your game tomorrow."
"What!? But you gotta mommy! You promised to be there!" Kimiko whined soon sounding like she was going to cry.
Kagome's heart ached when she saw her daughter's eyes, 'Koga I swear I will make you regret this!' She hugged her daughter tightly, "I'm sorry sweetie. But my boss did a mean thing and forced me to work tomorrow, even though I told him how important this was to you and me. But he refused to change it."
Kimiko started to sniff as tears began to fall from her eyes. She knew her mom didn't mean for this to happen just by the sound of her voice. But she was still sad that her own mom wouldn't be there for her first game. Sure everyone else would be there but…it just wasn't the same without her mommy there.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and pulled away from Kimiko, "But I promise you I will try and be there for you tomorrow."
"But what about your meany boss?" Kimiko asked.
Kagome smirked, "Well he'll just have to each my dirt as I walk out that door as 1."
Kimiko smiled softly, "So you will be there?"
"I'll try to be sweetie. I wouldn't want to miss your game for the world." Kagome reassured her, 'Yeah Koga can just kiss my ass when I leave work early. I will not break my promise to my daughter, even if it means getting fired.'
