Chapter 2: Welcome back, Kag…is that you?
Last chapter:
Sesshoumaru stood there in shock. This girl couldn't possibly be Kagome Higurashi. The Kagome Higurashi he knew was fat, round, and ugly. This Kagome was…Dare he say?……….sexy.
She had fine breasts, not very big, but not small. She wasn't very tall, but not short, she had perfect height. Her waist and abdomen were perfect, and her legs were sexy as ever. Her black hair was long, shiny and smooth, and her face looked so cute and innocent.
That was Kagome Higurashi?
(Sesshomaru's expression: OO)
"Kagome Higurashi? The girl that was Yasha's friend?? God…it's so hard to believe it's YOU! I mean, you look totally different from what you were before and...and...," Sesshoumaru stuttered in Japanese.
"I know. I look different. What are you doing here in California?" Kagome answered in her beautiful native tongue.
"Honeymoon, with my lovely wife, meet my Kagura." Sesshoumaru explained, smiling at Kagura who in turn smiled at Kagome, realizing that this girl was not a threat to her new marriage.
"Nice to meet you, Kagome. I'm not very sure who you are right now, it's obvious you were Sesshoumaru's neighbor, but here, this is our hotel number. Please call, I want to talk to you about something," Kagura gave her a scrap of paper with the phone number of their hotel.
"Hey! You guys done down there? There's a line you know!" A guy who was in line behind the Takahashis yelled agitatedly.
Kagura and Sesshoumaru quickly paid, and Kagura said before leaving, "Please call!"
--
Kagome lay on her bed staring at the ceiling like she usually did when she needed to think about stuff. 'Should I call? No. Why should I? But again, I feel like calling them. But he DID make me suffer. But it's Sesshoumaru and Kagura, not Inuyasha, I guess its ok. What did she want? I want to call...' Finally finished reasoning with herself, she took the plunge.
She dialed the phone number. Kagura answered, sounding overly bouncy and extremely happy.
"Yea, I guess. Uh…why are you asking about my weight?" Kagome was talking to Kagura on the phone. And then, the shock: "YOU WORK FOR AN INTERNATIONAL MODELING AGENCY AND YOU WANT ME TO BE ONE OF YOUR MODELS?"
There was an awkward silence.
"I don't know! I have to ask my mom! Of course I want to work for you! Yes, I am 20." Kagome admitted that she was excited about this. Wow, an international model!
At dinner, Kagome was talking to her family about her meeting with Sesshoumaru and Kagura, how Kagura asked her to be a model, and…if she could go back to Japan.
Sota spit the food that was in his mouth. "Sis, you realize that some months ago, you couldn't hear the word "Japan", "Inuyasha", "love" or "Takahashi"without bawling? Now you want to go back?!" Sota was 15 years old now and was surprised by Kagome wanting to go back to Japan, work for a Takahashi, and besides all that, not even complain about the latter.
"Geez, Sota. I just want to be a model. I'm doing this for my carreer. And I still hate hearing the name Inu- You get the point." Kagome turned to her mom. "Please, ma? Please? I want to take this opportunity!"
Mrs. Higurashi smiled and nodded. Kagome's grandpa was complaining about how kids change their minds too much these days and something about "young whippersnappers".
'Even though you broke my heart, destroyed me even, I'm coming back. You'll see how very wrong you were seven years ago. You'll pay for not giving me a chance. You'll see, dear Inuyasha, you'll see. I'm coming back.'

"Inuyasha! You idiot! WE.ARE.THROUGH!" Kikyo yelled and slapped Inuyasha's face.
Miroku and Sango were laughing their asses off.
"Yo, Inuyasha! What's the count now... three times just this month?" Miroku joked and patted his friend on the shoulder. Inuyasha smirked.
"Feh. She'll just come back to me saying she a little bit harsh and blah blah blah, then there we are: dating again." Inuyasha said, not worried about a thing.
Seven years ago, when the Higurashis left, Sango and Miroku were "promoted" to the popular clique. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were the most known people in school. Sango and Miroku did still feel sorry about Kagome, but there were no more that they could do.
Two years later, a girl named Kikyo Midoriko came to the high school. Immediately, she became popular because of her sexy looks and good grades. Of course, that got Inuyasha's attention and so they started dating and had been ever since. They break up easily, date other people and always get back together.
About a year after the Higurashis moved, Sango and Miroku confessed their love for each other and now, they still date and things almost never go wrong, it only goes wrong when Miroku starts flirting with another girl…then the provberbial "WHACK" sets him straight.
Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Kikyo all entered in Tokyo University together, and they were still considered very popular.
"Aw, come on, everybody's going to the club tonight, right?" Sango asked very innocently.
"Uh…no, because Inuyasha just broke up with Kikyo, again." Miroku glared at Inuyasha.
"Like hell I need someone to go to the club with. I can get any chick at the club; I mean, right now, Kikyo must be making out with some other geek and tomorrow she'll come back to me." Inuyasha said confidently. Sango giggled at his overblown ego.
"So it's settled. We're going to the club tonight!"
Inuyasha went home and laid on his bed. To tell you the truth, he felt like the guiltiest person on Earth. He felt wrong saying those words to Kagome. And because of his stupid mouth, he made a girl move to another COUNTRY, just because of him and his huge fucking mouth. Even though it was the truth, he wished he hadn'tve said it that way. Breaking out of his mental self-bashing, he sighed.
Then, the phone rang.
"Uh…hello?" Inuyasha yawned.
"Yasha, you won't believe who I met here in California." Sesshoumaru was speaking on the other line of the phone.
"Lemme guess…you actually talked to Avril Lavigne," Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"Uh…no. Does the name Higurashi ring a bell in your empty liitle skull?"
Of course it did! Inuyasha didn't know what to say.
"So…is she really pissed at me? Did she cry when she saw you? Was she eating 100 hamburgers at McDonald's to make her feelings disappear? How did she react? What does she look like? SAY SOMETHING DAMMIT!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Hey, it seems like you so wanna see her and date her or something," Sesshoumaru joked, he knew that when Inuyasha saw her, he would be all "tangly doo" inside.
(A/N: WTF is "tangly-doo"? I'll have to ask Sesshy Lover where she got that one!)
"Shut the hell up. Now answer me."
"Well, she's coming back to Japan tomorrow. And so are Gura and I, in some minutes we are leaving to get Kagome and then we are going to head to the airport and will get there, um…about 8:00 pm. Hope you'll be there."
"Why is she coming back? You two are coming back already, too? I thought Higurashi hated me?!"
Sesshoumaru laughed. He loved to see his brother so annoyed. "Actually, she's coming back because she's going to work for Gura." (Gura: Kagura. Yasha: Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru is all, you know, cool like that.)
"Work for your wife?" Inuyasha started to laugh. "What else? Is she going to be the janitor of Kagura's office? Ha ha ha!" Inuyasha was laughing hard.
"You better shut your hole up. She's going to model."
"WHAT! HOW CAN SOMEBODY SO….SO….LIKE HER, BE A MODEL! Unless it's for fat people, I think, but Kagura doesn't work with fat people," Inuyasha was surprised. Was Sesshoumaru serious? I mean, Sesshoumaru loved to do stuff to annoy him, but…
"You better shut your hole again. She looks FINE!" And after he said that, Inuyasha heard a "SLAP!" probably because Kagura heard it. "No, no! Gura, you know how FINE you look too, I'm just... SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND DIE! Yes, yes, sorry!"
Apparently, Kagura and Sesshoumaru were arguing. Inuyasha clicked the off button and was still very confused. "She is going to model." Did Higurashi change? Inuyasha was getting very anxious to meet Kagome again. "She looks FINE!" and Inuyasha kept that thought in mind.
Afterward, Inuyasha called Sango and Miroku to tell them the news. Their jaws audibly dropping to the floor as they heard the news. All of them decided to get Kagome at the airport.

"Honey, we will miss you so much!" Mrs. Higurashi hugged her daughter tight. "So, we'll see you in about three months?"
Kagome nodded and let go of her mother's arm to hug Sota.
"Safe trip sis. We'll miss you, not really, but we will." Kagome glared at him. He froze. "I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid!"
Kagome hugged her grandpa and said her teary good byes. After that, Kagome entered the taxi car and Sesshoumaru came outside to help with the luggage. Finally, they were all in the airplane.
"So, what do I do when we get there?" Kagome asked as the plane was settled and going straight in the air.
"Well, you'll have one month of training, then you'll have judges to see if you're qualified, and then you'll be a model," Kagura smiled. Sesshoumaru, Kagome, Kagura were sitting in the same row, talking.
"But, do I have legal age to do that stuff?" Kagome asked. Kagura nodded.
It was a good trip.
--
"Calm down, will you?!" Inuyasha said, giving Miroku a tap on the back.
"It's just…I'm anxious to see her again! By the way, Inuyasha, did Kikyo call?" Miroku asked jumping up and down, like a rabbit on crack.
"Yeah she did. We're going to meet her here. She'll be here in a couple of minutes. "
"I wanna see Kags again!" Sango joined Miroku on jumping up and down.
"There! There's Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha pointed. "And there's Kagura! Where's Kagome? I don't see her!"
Sesshoumaru was in front of Kagura and Kagura was in front of Kagome. Sesshoumaru came to Inuyasha with his arms wide open. "Yasha! How I've missed you!" Sesshoumaru kidded.
"Where is she? Come on Sess, where is she?" Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were looking around anxiously.
Sesshoumaru got Kagome's arm from behind Kagura and said to the group of friends, "Meet Kagome Higurashi."
"Hey guys, it's been a long time…" Kagome waved, trying to not look at Inuyasha at all.
"Welcome back, Kag….whoaa! HOLY HELL!….is that you!?" Miroku's eyes dropped out of his poor hentai-infested head. Inuyasha and Sango were completely speechless. Kagome had totally
changed!
