Inuyasha crossover Brothers Conflict
Playing House
Recently Asahina Ukyo had taken up a rather troublesome case that requires him to handle at the moment and this brought to the case as to why Kagome is now housing with the Asahina family in one of their guest room.
Originally Kagome was one to not want to stay with them, but because of certain circumstances, she was not really given much of a choice and ended up staying with them until the court case is finally over and done with and filled up once the sentence has been given.
"Thank you for the breakfast onii-chan," Ema smilingly said to her oldest brother as she sat by the table.
With a polite smile upon his face and a somewhat apologetic smile, "I'm not the one who prepared breakfast this morning," Ukyo told his only sister looking at her with much affection and unspoken fondness as he prepared a cup of coffee for himself.
Everything had been prepared and placed on the living room this morning when he awoke up early as usual, something that he had been surprised about at first, but since this had been going on for quite a while, it did make him wonder if it had been Ema, but found out later that it had all been Kagome.
Even dinner, they would usually come back to find meals prepared for those who would need it, as well as. And what surprises him was how she had made little changes like making bento for each of the family members in the morning, and placing it on the kitchen ledge, labeling each nicely wrapped bento boxes with their name on a slip of paper.
Sometimes even when they come back in the early afternoon, tea time snack will be there, but as always not many see Kagome about. And according to Ukyo, even he does not know, but she would constantly message him to let him know that she is safe so far, or to ask about his opinion on what to cook that day. Usually he would be the one to do the cooking and taking care of his various siblings, but since her appearance, it felt like he really did not have much need to do those, instead it was Kagome that took over it all with much ease.
They had tried to tell her that it was not really necessary for her to do so, but she kept insisted saying that she did not want to trouble them any further than needed, and that included getting in their way, which is the few reasons as to why she hardly make an appearance or let her presence known. Though the little things that she did was already enough, even for Ema who does not have another female companion in the building felt sometimes more at ease when there is someone else helping her to take care of her personal needs and hygiene at times whenever she forgets about it.
"Have anyone of you seen Kagome?" Ukyo asked of his brothers one of the evenings after having cleaned up after dinner.
He frowned at their answers and had tried calling her phone a few times, except that it was always sent to voicemail, which had him worrying even more that something even worse could have happened.
Just as he was about to make another call, he heard the buzzer intercom ringing loudly like a shrilling alarm as he walked to in an unrushed manner, not wanting to show his anxiousness as she looked at the screen and frown at the image that he sees.
"Is this the Asahina residence in which Asahina Ukyo stays?" a male dressed smartly in a stylish suit asked as he looked into the camera.
"This is he speaking, you are?"
"Gitsune Shippo, I'm here to collect the items belonging to Higurashi Kagome," he replied and stated the reason for his appearance.
Ukyo frown at the image of the male indeed he is someone familiar, however he could not really put his finger on who he is exactly until the other told him of his name.
"Please wait for a moment," Ukyo said as he rushed to grab his coat and wore it whilst on the way down to pick up Shippo, this is also to prevent him from entering the premises without permission and doing things that he did not want.
"Kagome!" Ukyo called out in surprise, seeing her standing by Shippo side looking relaxed like when she spent time with his family.
"I hope that I've not cause much of a problem to you for not messaging you today," Kagome smiled apologetically at Ukyo.
"No problem at all, please come in and talk," he said, glancing to the other and saw a black car parked outside of their building.
Whilst Kagome went to her room to arranging her things, she gave the time to Shippo to explain to Ukyo of the current situation before judging the time and making her way back down to the living room where she sat down beside of Shippo with her things in between of them as she looked between of them.
"Thank you for taking care of me (her) these few days," the two say in unison as the made a courteous bow towards of Ukyo who stood up and did the same.
And soon after she left them, even the case was taken off Ukyo's hand and left to Shippo to handle, something that he had not expected and felt disappointed. They went back to their usual routine, and even though they were used to having Kagome's cooking in such a short time, they did miss that simple lingering touches that she left in her cooking for each of them. Even the bento that she created for them each has their own uniqueness that was left for each of them to find out.
Though Ukyo kept track of the case on his own findings and even tried to find out when was the case so that he could attend the case. Though they have very little time together, even if they live under the same roof, but she did left quite and impression on him even if their interaction is rather limited. It is different, she gave him the feel of a mix of Ema, and yet still uniquely her.
"If you miss her, you should let her know about it," Hikaru told him one of the days when he was outside in the balcony drinking a cup of whiskey as Hikaru walked out from the darkness of a corner to stand behind of him, leaning against the wall.
"You really should dress as per your gender, what a waste of good genes," Ukyo lightly scolded his younger brother.
Hikaru shook his head as he took a sip from his own glass of wine and took the sit outside of the balcony.
"Perhaps," he replied his brother to his earlier suggestion and did not saying anything else but to slowly drink the remainder of his glass of whiskey.
That night when he returned to his room, Ukyo looked at his phone for a long while before picking up the phone and messaged her.
