A/N Okay so I'm updating it again, because I always update new stories immediately after first writing them…
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter 2: We almost flew right out of the sky
"We almost flew right out of the sky mom and into that stupid Takashi corporation billboard… I hate the planes here…" Kagome said into her cell phone while walking towards her luggage. Sango only rolled her eyes before following her best friend out of the airport.
They walked towards the taxi lane as Kagome put her cell phone down. "You ride in one private jet, and all other airlines suck…" Sango mumbled making Kagome turn to stare daggers.
"Yeah, like you weren't holding on to the seat in front of you… when that monster of a plane began to swerve." Sango rolled her eyes for about the hundredth time that day. Kagome had been complaining about everything since they left their apartment. Though on her defense, Kagome wasn't a morning person. "
"It was just a little turbulence… we landed safely."Sango said as they approached a running taxi towards their left. "Now tell me… what are we planning on doing…? I took two weeks off of work yesterday." She said while opening up the taxi's trunk. "It would be mondo cool if we cheered up Kikyo today, flew back tomorrow and wasted the other week and a half on partying."
Kagome nodded agreeing with her best friend. "That would be super cool, but we have to really nip this Kikyo thing in the bud. I don't want her calling me down here again. So we're staying here as long as it takes for her to get out of this Takashi jam."
Sango groaned as she went around the front to enter the Taxi. This would be the stupidest most tedious trip back home ever. They'd cheer up Kikyo and then they'd leave, then Rin will call back and tell them that Kikyo moved back in with Inuyasha. Then in a couple months they'd be right back here again doing the same damn thing. She shut the taxi's backseat door rather abruptly before crossing her arms in frustration.
INU POV
"I'm thinking what we need is someone to man a chain in the City…" Inuyasha said as he got up from the unusually long ebony conference table. His brother was heading the meeting, but like always Sesshomaru wasn't interested in anything he was saying. Only Inuyasha had a real passion for this sort of stuff. He got up making everyone around the table look up towards him. "Once we get a chain in the City then we'll really begin seeing profits rise."
Sesshomaru looked at his brother for a minute before walking away from the front of the room. He didn't much care for these sorts of things. He actually didn't care for his father's business at all. He swept a hand towards his brother signifying he had the floor. Inuyasha let a charming smile sweep over his endearing features. "If we set up a real branch in the city, hired a capable employee to lead it, then there's no saying how far we can go."
A middle age woman in the back raised her hand wanting to speak. Inuyasha pointed at her and she stood up. "Yes…I agree, but what kind of characteristics are you looking for in this employee." Inuyasha thought it over for a moment, before facing the boardroom.
"Probably a person who is at a good standing in the company…" he let his eyes sweep over his older brother making Sesshomaru shake his head. He hadn't voiced anything yet, but Inuyasha could already tell that was a sure fire no. "Okay… well we've made good progress today. Meeting adjourned…" the room filled with executives began mumbling while evacuating the conference bureau. Inuyasha waited for them to all leave before pointing all his attention to his older brother. "Why not…" He asked bluntly.
Sesshomaru sat up while grabbing his files from the head of the table. "No Inuyasha I have obligations here…" He boredly said while standing up. He pulled down his dark navy blue suit before heading for the door
"Obligations… I'm carrying this whole damn company… I have obligations here…" Sesshomaru didn't say anything as he paused. He turned only slightly to face his younger brother. Inuyasha shook his head in frustration. "This company needs me; if I were to leave... it would be a liability"
"Inuyasha, either hire someone to take over the city branch, or take over it yourself. You're twenty three years old for crying out loud. Stop thinking about obligations, and start living…"
"You sound like dad," Inuyasha stated while traveling the length of the room. "You're both only interested in living, but what about the cost of living, what about the financial endeavors that come with timeshares all over the world. It's up to me to take care of it… while you guys are just living."
"Listen Inuyasha I have a family, I can't just get up and move to the City…"
"A family…" Inuyasha sarcastically laughed before turning to face Sesshomaru completely. "You have no kids… your married… that's it. I would hardly call that a family."
"Well Inuyasha you said it yourself, I'm married… that's more than anyone can say for you, so I say you pack up your shit and get moving to the City…" Sesshomaru said. He didn't spare his younger brother another glance before leaving the office completely. Inuyasha just stared at the door in utter annoyance. The city branch was one of the biggest of the company; he couldn't just leave anyone in charge of it.
KAG POV
"And then he said have my stuff packed and gone by Friday…. Friday…. Can you believe that…Friday." Kikyo cried as she sat on the open bar's stool. Kagome looked over at Sango and back at Rin. They were both trying to console her, but the whole bar had their eyes on them. Rin was patting her back while Sango grabbed hold of yet another tissue. "I mean I don't know what I'm going to do…I guess I should just apologize…"
"No you don't…." Kagome said while ordering another round of scotch. She wanted to comfort her sister too, but she just wasn't the lovey dovey type. She didn't understand why Kikyo rather cry her eyes out then stand up and get over it. "You should take mom and dad's offer; get out of town for awhile…come back in a couple months fresh and new." Kikyo looked up at her younger sister before crying even harder.
Kagome watched her cry while grabbing her shot glass and drowning it in complete annoyance. "I don't even know how I'm going to muster the energy to get my stuff… it's still at his house, and it's already Friday….Kaggy…" Kikyo sobbed while sitting up in her seat. All eyes were on Kagome now as she waited for her sister to talk. "I… I … I was wondering… if you could… if you could get my things for me….?" Kikyo asked in the middle of an ear shattering sob.
Kagome turned to face her sister. She was completely speechless. Everyone knew Inuyasha Takashi hated Kagome; he would never let her into his house to do anything. "Um… Kikyo… you're hysterical, you're not thinking straight…" Rin said while stroking Kikyo's long brunette hair "Why don't I and Sango go pick up your things tonight. You just stay home and rest…"
"No… I want... him to suffer like I'm suffering. I want Kagome to get my stuff…" Sango rolled her eyes, before grabbing her own shot glass. There were three major reasons why Inuyasha Takashi hated Kagome Higurashi and two of those reasons revolved around Kikyo. The first was because during High school every time Kikyo had a problem with Inuyasha, or broke up with him. She always sent her little sister to fight her battles. Kagome was always the head strong independent one in the family, and she would always come up with the most ridiculous pranks to get back at Inuyasha with.
The second was because Kagome was always unusually popular. Even though she was two years younger than him she always seemed to dictate the school. Since Kagome naturally hated Inuyasha, she always spread the most ridiculous rumors about him that most girls believed. The third and last reason why Inuyasha hated Kagome was unknown. Neither Kagome, Kikyo, Sango, nor Rin knew the third reason. Only Miroku and Kouga knew and none of them were willing to tell.
"Listen Kikyo…it's not smart to make Kagome do that… you know how Inuyasha feels about her…" Rin said making Kagome roll her eyes. Rin was the only one here at that very moment who didn't have a problem with Inuyasha. Actually she happened to love Inuyasha like a brother, which of course by marriage he was. Rin had married Sesshomaru Takashi, Inuyasha's older brother.
Kagome got up from the bar and grabbed her purse. She was sick of these stupid little get togethers they were always having. She wanted Kikyo to get on a plane, fly down to their parent's summer beach house for a few months, come back in the fall with a new guy, and never call her about Inuyasha Takashi again. Was that too much to ask? Rin and Sango stared at her as she paid the bartender with cash. "Where are you going?" Sango asked as Kagome shrugged on her winter coat.
She sighed before looking down at her sister. "Kikyo… I'm going to go get your stuff, but you have to promise me one thing, you'll pack your things up tonight, order a flight, and stay in mom and dad's beach house for the rest of the year…." Sango tried to hold a blatant smile by looking away from the discussion at hand. The idea of never coming back here was just so uplifting; she couldn't hide the excitement that came over her. She should have been telling Kagome it was a bad idea. She should have stood up for her best friend, but she decided that never coming back to her hometown was more important than Kagome's safety. Plus Inuyasha Takashi wouldn't dare hurt her over a series of things that happened years ago.
"Really Kaggy…. You'd do that for me…" Kikyo screamed in delight making Kagome roll her eyes before heading to the exit. "Okay… I promise… I'll call mom and dad as soon as you get back."
Kagome opened the heavy metal door before turning. "This is the last Takashi related battle I'm fighting for you…" She hissed making Kikyo nod in utter happiness. She knew that as soon as Inuyasha saw Kagome come through his apartment, he'd call her in complete anger. And the idea of getting a call from him had her thinking extremely fuzzy at the moment.
INU POV
"Well if you ask me… I think moving to the city is a great idea…" Miroku said as they headed up the Takashi Corporation's stone steps. "It'll be a nice change of pace… I'm sick of living here anyway. There's nothing to do…"
"Perhaps if you got a job…" Inuyasha said as two large men opened the glass doors for him. They both nodded and said there 'hi's' to the corporation's youngest leader. "Besides when did I ever say I'm moving with you...? I'm trying to get work done. I'm already going to be moving near Kouga, and he's a bigger pest than you. I really don't need two." He walked towards the elevator pressing the up button. "Besides… I haven't really made up my mind. It's all so sudden."
Miroku nodded as he listened to his friend. "That's true… but hey, once you make up your mind, come get me." The elevator doors opened and Miroku stepped back. "But now I've got to get going, apparently Sango just flew down, and you know I've always had the hots for her."
"Yeah, but she's never had them for you." Inuyasha said as he rolled his eyes. He already knew she was in town. He was determined to work throughout the night and day so he never ran into her. The doors shut and Miroku took off in the other direction. Inuyasha was also determined to keep his mind off of her, whenever he thought of her, bad memories aroused. The elevator doors opened and he walked out.
Several people said their hello's as he strolled towards his office. "Did I get any calls?" He asked an older woman at a desk. She shook her head before looking through a binder.
"You do have a visitor…" she said, and Inuyasha nodded. "Oh and some mail came in for you." The woman passed him a series of envelopes before sitting back in her seat. He didn't have to think too hard to know who the visitor was. He was guessing it was Kouga. He had said he'd fly down this weekend, but neither Inuyasha nor Miroku were expecting him on Friday. He could have sworn he had said he'd be in on Saturday.
He unlocked the doors to his office while looking down at the assortment of mail. He opened one while closing the door with his foot. He was so engrossed in what he was doing he hadn't noticed the extremely attractive woman sitting on the edge of his desk looking at a picture of his younger brother.
"Shippo is growing like a weed…" She said and Inuyasha looked up immediately before dropping his mail in shock. She didn't make any move to help him pick it up; instead she let a seductive grin highlight her enticing features. She moved ever so slowly to face him before getting up. "Did you Miss me?"
