Ch. 2 Haven't We Met
Kagome woke up the next morning feeling extremely off. Then she realized what was so off, there was no breakfast smells, no nagging wake up calls from her best friend, or any noise whatsoever. She peeked out the door to her room and looked both ways thinking that Sango was trying to trick her by hiding. The girl often had a habit of scaring the shit out of her, especially in the morning when Kagome was still sleepy and didn't have her coffee.
When she didn't see her friend leering around the door, she slowly crept out and walked to the living room. No Sango. She walked to the kitchen, then bathroom, and even outside to see if her car was in the lot.
Kagome closed the door then pondered to herself, "That's funny, her car's here but where…"
Realization hit her hard and she quickly stood in front of Sango's room. She burst the door open and it slammed to the wall waking the woman in bed up.
"WHAT WEBSITE!" Sango yelled as she shot up from bed.
She had the look of pure horror on her face as she looked at Kagome at the door. Kagome just giggled at her disorientated friend and said, "Sango, are you watching hentai again?"
Sango blinked and instantly felt relieved. She was having second thoughts about signing Kagome up on that website and instantly regretted her decision after she pressed send thus spending a restless night in bed. However, she didn't regret trying to speed up her best friend's love life, she just didn't like what the consequences. Kagome, no matter how loving she could be, had a very nasty temper and could hold a grudge for life. If she were to find out about what she did, she would probably never be forgiven, even if she were to find her perfect match.
"Y-yea, I didn't want to but I just couldn't avoid the pull." Sango said playing along and hoping that Kagome couldn't see through her lie.
Kagome sighed and shook her head with a smile. "You said you were trying to stop watching it besides, isn't Miroku enough."
Sango smiled back while scratching the back of her head and said, "You know how bad of an influence he is."
"Come on, get up and feed me already."
Sango rolled her eyes before getting up out of bed and said, "Feed yourself, we both know that you could cook to at least cook save your life, don't know why I always have to do it."
"Cause like you said, I could only cook to save my life, you could make it your career so you, kitchen, now."
~G~K~O~D~
The rest of the week went on and as it did, Sango has gotten stranger and stranger. It was like she was hiding a dirty little secret. Sango would stutter, not stay in the same room with her for long or at all, and she wouldn't look her in the eyes anymore.
'Is she that guilty for watching a little porn… maybe she's into yoai too.' Kagome thought as she saw Sango go into her room when Kagome went into the kitchen for something to snack on.
When she went into the fridge, to find it half empty. She sighed and closed the door. "I must have eaten all the good stuff while watching movies. Guess I gotta get some more."
She knocked on Sango's door and said through it, "I'm gonna get some more food, want anything?"
"No, you're fat ass will probably eat it while watching another shitty movie anyway." Sango replied through the door.
Kagome huffed before saying, "Well, I wasn't going to get you anything anyway."
She heard Sango's laughter and she walked away and left out the apartment.
The supermarket wasn't but a few blocks away so Kagome chose to walk, she needed the exercise anyway. Sango has been going out every night which caused her to grab what every snack she could get her hands on out the refrigerator and pantry and keep shoveling it in her mouth until the date was over. Those dates lasted longer and longer each night which gave Kagome a naughty thought to why Sango was avoiding her besides the anime porn. She shook her head and shoved Sango's sex life out her mind not knowing why she was thinking of it to begin with.
When Sango heard the door close and then silence, she let out a sigh of relief. It was getting harder and harder to face Kagome without blurting out the truth. She couldn't hold secrets for long when she felt guilty, which is why she had been keeping away from her friend. She assumed that Kagome was getting suspicious to her behavior but knowing her usually clueless friend, haven't put effort into getting information from her or even really worried about what she had in stored for her. Well it was too late to turn back now. She hoped that when Kagome found out that her death would be quick.
Kagome placed her headphones in her ear before turning on her iPod. Although she chose to walk, it didn't mean that she likes to but listening to her favorite songs took her mind off the journey. She bounced and skipped all the way to her destination, crossed the street, and went inside the store. She stocked up with as much junk food as she could and left the store with two full bags in each hand. Kagome reached the street and started skipping her way across to the beat of the song pumping in her ears. She was so engrossed with it that she didn't notice the sleek black car that was coming at her dead on until it was but a few feet away. She stood paralyzed, wide eyed, and in fear as she dropped everything in her hands.
SCREEEEEEEAAAAACH…
She was dead, she knew. She died so quick that she didn't feel the pain at all. This was not how she wanted her life to end. She was much too young and hasn't done anything other than sit on a couch and watch TV.
A growl caught her attention and she slowly opened her eyes to see two intense golden ones looking back. Her eyes focused more on the face that the eyes belonged to and she nearly gasped at the high cheeks with two sets of magenta stripes on them, a navy blue crescent moon framed by silver bangs, and even longer silver tresses flowing behind the tall muscular male down to the backs of his knees.
Not being able to help herself, she reached out to touch the stripes that entranced her so, the male's eyes widening slightly as her hand neared his face. The moment her fingertips brushed his cheek, he pulled away and growled even more while setting her with a cold hard stair.
"You should refrain from touching me, mortal, or you won't touch anything again when I remove that vial appendage." He nearly spat at her.
Kagome retracted her hand in fear before feeling anger boil. "You almost ran over me and I don't get a damn apology?!"
"Why should I apologize when you were the irresponsible one by crossing the street without taking precautions?"
"Hey don't you know that a pedestrian has the right of way on a fucking crosswalk!"
He sneered at her then replied, "I don't see a pedestrian, I only see a mouthy female who is annoying me."
"Well I see a jackass who doesn't know how to drive!"
He growled down at her while she growled back but the sound of a car horn caught their attention.
The demon turned on his heel and walked back to his car. "I have better things to do other than to argue with the likes of a human bitch."
Kagome was ready to run after him, open his door, and drag him out the car by his pretty hair but was ready to go home. She picked up her bags and stepped on the sidewalk. She then was about to turn her iPod on again when she realized that she had dropped it also in the street when she panicked. She turned around ready to dive for it but the black car that almost ran her over, took the life of the music player.
Her heart stopped for a second as she looked from the smashed remains of the iPod to the car that the pompous jerk was driving. She then scowled as her fist tightened.
'That bastard better not cross my path again. I'll kick his ass for this.' She thought as she looked at what was left of her priceless possession that was currently getting run over by other cars.
With a sigh, she began her walk. It sure was going to be a long one without her music.
Kagome opened the door and slammed it closed as soon as she entered the apartment before trudging over to the couch and plopped down. She opened a bag of chips and started munching on them.
"Stupid, inconsiderate, asshole, murderer."
Sango couldn't help but be curious as to what her friend was talking about.
"Kags, what's wrong? I haven't seen you this upset since Miroku's dog made a chew toy our of your mp3 player."
At Sango's words, Kagome gave a big, angry groan. "It was horrible San, I was walking home when I almost got ran over."
Sango gasped and quickly sat down next to Kagome, inspecting her to see if she had any scratches. Kagome pulled away from her mother like friend and said, "I'm alright, I was almost run over. Anyway, the guy that nearly did me in was such a hot bastard, but he was a bastard none the less. He mutilated my iPod with his car."
Sango sighed and shook her head. Kagome love that little piece of metal and treasured it as her prized possession. She wouldn't even let her touch the thing.
"I'll try to convince Roku to get you another for your birthday, or get him to tell your mom."
Kagome sighed and said, "No, don't worry about it. I'll either buy it myself or hunt the bastard who killed it and make him pay and frankly, I rather go with the latter."
The two women sat in comfortable silence before Sango decided it was time to set her plan into action. She was told to be at the meeting place around 5:00 and she only had over thirty minutes to get there. 'Well here goes nothing.'
"Hey Kagome, I know what will make you feel better." She said while getting said woman's attention. "I know how you've been looking for a job. I believe I found the perfect one for you."
Kagome perked up, she had been job searching for a while now. She either didn't like the place or her attitude would get the better of her.
"What is it?"
Sango looked around not sure what to say but then came up with, "Uh… I um… can't remember exactly… but the man said that he's doing an interview and we have to go… now."
Kagome didn't want to go anywhere else at the moment being that she just got home but she did need the job, especially if she was to buy another iPod. She slowly got up to get ready for the 'interview.'
~G~K~O~D~
Kagome was getting really confused to where they were going since they passed the office buildings of the city and were now headed outside city limits.
'What, did Sango get me a job of a farm?' Kagome thought as they passed fields of grass and small houses. The fields became larger as did the houses and the trees were also coming in greater numbers as they traveled.
They eventually turned on what looked to be a nicely paved driveway. It was when they came to a giant iron gate with two large iron demon dogs painted in gold. There was a guard house sitting in front of it and Kagome became even more curious to what was going on.
"Sango, are you sure you can't remember what kind of job this is?" Kagome asked as she looked further on and saw the mansion sitting on top of a hill.
Sango didn't know what to say and figured that she was about to be in big trouble. Thankfully she didn't have to lie because the tapping at her window told her that someone was trying to get her attention. She rolled down her window to see a large bear demon in a guard's uniform.
"State your business."
Sango tilted her head to Kagome and said, "I'm here to drop off my friend to meet Mr. Taisho for the… um… interview."
The guard looked in past Sango and saw the woman who was taking in the beautiful home.
"I didn't expect you to be the one that I was to keep an eye out for. Never had a human paired up for the master, milord must be desperate."
At the demon's words, both Sango and Kagome looked to him with wide eyes.
"What was that?" Kagome asked not sure what was said.
Before the demon was about to elaborate, Sango budded in, "I remember that the job was said to be a bit hard for humans but anyone can do it." She then looked to the bear in a silent plea to play along with her. "Please let us in."
The guard just nodded and let them in with a sigh, he knew that Sesshomaru wasn't going to be happy about this. It was one thing that his father was trying to set him up with any demoness in heat, it's another to get a human for him. He felt a little sorry for the girl but there was nothing that he could do.
The two women drove up to the house and out the car. After walking up the twelve steps to the door, they stood in front of the large oak door that had paws carved in them and large glass windows. Before Sango could knock, the door was opened and behind it stood a little green toad.
"I'm sorry but in order to receive charity, you will have to-"
"We're not here for charity ya little booger." Kagome growled as she lashed out at him.
Sango held her back with a skittish smile. She then cleared her throat then said, "We're… well she's actually here for the 'interview' with Mr. Taisho."
Jaken blinked a few times then said, "She's the female that is to seduce the master…"
"WHAT?!"
Sango was trying to shut him up but he continued, "How could you not know about the matchmaking ad that milord has set up?"
Sango was about to try to get Kagome's attention off Jaken but she pushed her aside and asked, "What matchmaking ad?"
The demon sighed and replied, "As embarrassing as it is, milord is trying to find a suitable mate for his son and he has created a website for it. He has gotten a response from who I suppose is you since you are here to meet today."
Kagome glared at Sango then turned to walk back to the car. "Sango how could you, take me home now!"
Sango ran and grasped her shoulder before saying, "No, I'm doing this for your own good. I mean seriously Kagome, your wearing a hole in the couch."
Kagome stopped walking and said, "You care about a damn couch more than me, your best friend. I mean you're going to leave me to sit in front of a stranger who might really be some rapist, or murder, or worse, gross and boring!"
"Well at least a couch doesn't bitch when her best friend is trying to help her get a love life."
Kagome's eyes went wide and she was taken aback which gave Sango a chance to pull her back inside the mansion.
"Besides Kagome, look at this house… no mansion. The guy you're getting set up with is obviously has cash coming out of his ass. He can't be all those things you think he is."
Kagome stopped Sango and pointed to the house while saying, "Rich people are stuck up snobs and above all, boring! You know how much I hate boring people."
Sango rolled her eyes and muttered, "And yet your version of a night out is melting your eyes in front of a TV."
"I heard that!"
Sango sighed and placed both her hands on her friend's shoulders and said, "Chill Kags, I'm sure your date is a great guy. I seen his picture and he's as sexy as hell. If I wasn't with your cousin, I would sure set myself up with him. In fact, I must really love Miroku to not go after him."
Sango hoped that she sparked Kagome's curiosity. She was only telling part of the truth. Sesshomaru's picture was a handsome one but there was no life in his eyes. He was like a soulless hunky shell but she believes that he could possibly be a good choice for Kagome. His description was the perfect match for her.
"And you didn't show me, what kind of a friend are you."
"The best and I rather keep his good looks a surprise."
Kagome groaned knowing she would regret what she was about to say. "Great, now I'm curious, you know I won't be able to resist seeing what you sold my soul for."
"Okay then, stop complaining and sit down."
Kagome gave in just once and allowed Sango to push her back to the door. Jaken escorted them through the large house and into a living room that looked as if it could fit their entire apartment.
"Milord will be with you in a moment." Jaken said as he bowed and left.
Kagome looked around the tastefully done room. Everything was very classy yet had a homey feel to it, which was something that she didn't expect. She figured that whoever lived there would always be at work or traveling. Maybe there's an upside to this.
The women sat for almost three minutes when they heard foot steps behind them. They both turned and their eyes settled on the handsome male. As Kagome looked him up, her mind was waving red flags. She seen this male before but then she hasn't. His long silver hair was up in a pony tail and looked like it would stop at his waist if it was loose, the only marks he had on his face was a single jagged blue stripe on his cheeks. His dark amber eyes swirled with excitement as he looked at the women then locked them onto Kagome.
"Ah, you must be Kagome Higurashi." His deep voice broke the silence in the room.
Kagome stood up and bowed to him and with a smile said, "Yes, I am. Are you the one that I've been set up with?"
Toga tilted his head then asked, "You think I'm the one that you are to date?"
Kagome became confused and at this the demon let out a rumbling laugh. "No my dear, it is not me but my eldest son that you are to meet."
Kagome blushed which Toga thought was cute and innocent, if he was younger and not married or mated, he would go for her.
"Sorry, it's just that you look too young for me to assume you to be a father." Kagome apologized as she looked away.
Toga stepped up to her and lifted her head to meet his gaze with a single finger and said, "Trust me, I get that comment all the time so there's no need for you to apologize. I and my sons do look alike especially the comparison between my eldest and I. Many have though of us as brothers but I am also much older than I seem."
Kagome smiled and he signaled her to sit as he too sat across from the women.
"By the way, I am Toga Taisho, I know you as Kagome from your profile, who are you?" He asked as he looked to Sango.
"My name's Sango, I'm Kagome's friend…"
"And the one who set me up without me knowing." Kagome finished and Sango blushed in embarrassment.
Toga looked taken aback. "Normally it's parents who sign their troublesome children up since they want grandkids being that the name of the site is Grandkids on Demand."
"What did you say?" That caught Kagome's attention. She vowed that she would pay more attention to what her friends were doing from now on.
"Well, I just saw the e-mail and well, here we are." Sango responded while ignoring Kagome.
The inu smiled and said, "That you are. Now all we need is for Sesshomaru to be here. That pup of mine has been gone for hours. There's no telling where he goes, he just up and leave without a word said. It's only been after his accident that he's been doing this. I'll never understand him."
Kagome's eyebrows came together when she heard what Toga said. "An accident?"
"Yes well…"
"Father, whose car is that for outside? I don't recognize it as one of your associates." A deep voice inquired from the foyer. Kagome's attention was now directed to where the voice came from. It sent shivers down her spine but it, like the male before her was familiar. She had a foreboding feeling about this and was ready to say screw it and leave.
Toga smiled, it was show time. "Sesshomaru my boy, I have someone I would like for you to meet."
'Oh great, another bitch that I have to share air with.' Sesshomaru thought as he closed the door.
Soon the tall silver haired inu came into the room and stood frozen on the spot. His eyes locked with the female he only met and nearly flattened almost an hour ago, and from the looks of it, her anger hasn't settled.
What's to happen now that Kagome and Sesshomaru have come face to face again? Will she get her revenge for the death of her beloved iPod? What is that evil gleam in Toga and Sango's eyes? Most importantly, will I get anymore reviews?
