OKAY!!! This is my second chapter in which Kagome will get stuck in an elevator with Inuyasha. At this point things get interesting and relationships to one another begin to appear! Soooo…. Enjoy!! - . Right now I'm going to sleep!! I'm really exhausted!
I'm a bad girl!! I forgot to tell put up a disclaimer last time so here it goes… IDONTOWNINUYASHAANDANYOFTHECHARACTERS… that was easy!
Kagome slapped the offending alarm until it toppled over onto the floor.
"I'm up, I'm up…" Kagome said to herself. She slowly slid out of bed and into the bathroom to shower and get ready. Hot steam trailed out of the bathroom after she was done and she began to hum. She sighed happily reveling in the feeling of being a true adult now as she skipped to her room for something to wear. Opening her remaining piece of luggage, she peered in to see what she could wear for her first day of work. Ah, my first REAL day of work is going to be great! I can feel it. Kagome thought back to the reason why she had been hired.
Back when she was a student at New York University, she had been a star writer. Her professor ended up helping her publish an article for the New York Times and she soon began working for them. After graduation, she then moved to into a real apartment to be closer to her office. Her brother was following in her foot steps and went to NYU only he was going to major in business. Her mother and grandpa had been proud of the both of them and resided in upstate New York on a secluded garden estate.
Quickly grabbing her bag, she headed out to the elevator as her heels dug into the soft carpet. Up ahead she heard soft thumps heading her way. Looking forward she saw Inuyasha waving at her. She smiled at him and continued to move along. The elevator once again. He stood against the far wall and Kagome stood meekly in the middle. Suddenly the elevator shook and came to an abrupt stop making Kagome lose her balance.
"Are you okay" Inuyasha asked. He was currently kneeling besides Kagome with his hand on her shoulder. Kagome sat on the wall trying to shake the dizziness from her vision. She saw three Inuyashas and laughed giddily.
"I think I'm okay. I just don't think I'll be making into work on time now." Kagome said eyeing her watch.
Inuyasha got up and pushed all buttons available to him. Nothing. Nothing responded back. Not even the emergency button.
"Its completely down. I don't think we're getting out anytime soon."
"Well that's just dandy. To think I'm paying a shit load of money to be in this apartment building and yet the elevator doesn't even work." Kagome said bitterly. Inuyasha laughed and Kagome found herself liking it. His laugh was rich and deep.
"So did your friends leave?" Kagome looked up from where she sat a blank expression on her face.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Ha. They went to work and now… I'm stuck in an elevator and late for work. And you? I assume that was your girlfriend I saw yesterday?" Inuyasha looked like a fish without water.
"I-She- I guess" Wow. I sound stupid. Inuyasha said to himself.
"You guess? Shouldn't you know?"
"I-
"Sorry, I shouldn't be asking 21 questions."
"No, that's fine. Well, her name is Kikyo and we have been going out for two years, but now she's… different I guess." Inuyasha snapped out of his reverie in favor of looking at Kagome.
"How about you? Got anyone special?"
Kagome smiled a small smile and looked up at Inuyasha. He was startled to see a hurt expression written on her face.
"I did once before… but he hurt me to deeply for me to ever forgive him." Kagome kept staring at him.
"Well, you'll meet someone new. Hey, he might even be right under your nose (HOW TRUE IS THAT)!" Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled knowing he was trying to cheer her up.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon. I think I'll fly solo for now." Kagome could feel the elevator quiver and soon she felt it moving.
"Here" Inuyasha offered a hand and Kagome took it gratefully. When their hands touched, Kagome could have sworn she felt of jolt of tickled heat crawl through her body. She shuddered.
Inuyasha looked at their interlocked hands when he felt a certain feeling rise in his chest. He looked at Kagome who in return looked at him.
The ding of the elevator doors opening caused them to jump apart.
"Ummm… I, I'll, um, see you later" Inuyasha stammered out.
Kagome smiled at him before nodding and walking off in a different direction. She sighed and breathed out as if she had been holding her breath up until that moment. What was that all about? Kagome talked to herself for a few minutes before looking around her trying to locate the subway.
YAY!! Second Chapter!! I hoped you liked it. I just needed a way for Inuyasha and Kagome to meet for real. Now I have to start coming up with a way for them to see each other more often. Anywho I really appreciate all the reviews I have got so far. I feel like I have an obligation to those people to continue to write. THANX DUDES!! Next chapter will be MUCH better…
