Sorry for the long wait, here's the new chapter!
It was a boring Sunday for Kagome as she waited for her family to come back home from church in her bedroom. Kagome's mother forbids her to go out of the house after what happened two nights ago.
"Kagome..." Kikyo ran gracefully toward Kagome's bed and sat down beside her.
"Kikyo, do have some manners. Can't you knock? What are you doing here anyway? The mass doesn't end 'till 45 minutes." Kagome said.
"Oh, father sent me to check on you. The whole town's talking about you and Inuyasha, you know. Pity, the women think you're a dirty slut and men are lusting after you." Kikyo said as she stood up from Kagome's bed and walked towards the window. "Isn't that a shame? But you can change all that Kagome." Kikyo said.
"How?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Stay at Aunt Anne's in New York. I sent a letter to her saying your coming to live with her." Kikyo sat down beside Kagome and said excitedly, "You can go and live there as long as you want until the rumors circulating around this town disperse."
"Aunt Anne?" Kagome said. Aunt Anne was her mother's sister; she was very bossy and evil. There's no way she would live with her. "How dare you plot this without my consent!"
"Do you really want to stay here, Kagome? Look, I'm doing this for your own good and Inuyasha's as well." Kikyo said.
Kagome stood from the bed and said, "Oh, I see where this is going. You want me to go away so I won't ruin your plot into plotting Inuyasha into marrying you. Well let me tell you something, Kikyo. Inuyasha doesn't deserve you, he deserves better someone better."
"He deserves me as much as I deserve him. A marriage to me will give him benefits. You see if he marry me he'll have the Warfield stud."
"What about me? Don't I have the share of the stud? Why, I was one of father's best jockeys." Kagome said.
"Of course father won't leave you with nothing. I'm sure father will give you a dowry. Tell you what, I'll give you my best dress if you go to Aunt Anne's."
This offer made Kagome fell silent and think. If she leaves Beaux Town, Kikyo would probably seduce Inuyasha into marrying her but no Inuyasha isn't that stupid. She told him to watch out for Kikyo. Maybe she's right; it would be a shame if she would stay here. If she'd go away, maybe the rumors would disperse. She turned to Kikyo and said, "Which of your best dresses are you send me?"
"She what?" Inuyasha said after Kikyo tearfully announced that Kagome ran away.
"It's true," Kikyo said as she carefully wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "I tried to stop her but I was too sick and weak to do so. She packed her bags and said 'I'm going away; I have shamed my family and Inuyasha. It's all my fault.' She said she wants to be left alone for a little while."
"Where is she? Tell me, child. Where is she?" Oliver asked as he grabbed her daughter's arm and shook her.
"She didn't tell me..." Kikyo said and ran into Inuyasha's arms for comfort.
"Damn her! Damn her! Why did she have to do this? This is your entire fault, Inuyasha! If you hadn't seduced her this wouldn't have happened!" Oliver pointed his finger to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha grabbed Kikyo's arms and set her aside. "Now, Oliver, its no use pointing your fingers at someone. Besides, I think I know where she went off."
"You do?" Oliver asked with a relieved grin in his face.
"Maybe she went to her Aunt Anne's in New York." Sae suggested.
Inuyasha fell silent and thought; Kagome is not that stupid to go to her Aunt Anne. She's told him all about her and her bossiness."No, perhaps not. I think I knew where and I promise you, Oliver and Mrs. Higurashi, that I will bring Kagome back safely her in Beaux Town."
Kikyo ran towards Inuyasha and said, "No, I don't think you must, Inuyasha. Kagome said she wants to be left alone for a while. I'm sure she can handle herself."
"It's not good for a woman to be traveling alone. She might be in danger." Inuyasha said.
Oliver patted Inuyasha's back and said, "I have your word, Inuyasha. I trust my daughter's life into your hands."
2 weeks later...
"My lord, there is a lady who wishes to see you." Jaken, the Lord Sesshomaru's most trusted servant said.
"A lady?" Lady Rin, Lord Sesshomaru's wife asked.
"Yes, my lady. A woman named Kagome Higurashi. She wishes to see both of you. She also mentioned that she is a friend of Inuyahsa's." Jaken said.
"My brother Inuyasha?" Lord Sesshomaru asked.
"Does his lordship wish to see her?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I've heard from him. Perhaps, I'd like a chat with a bit on how Inuyasha is doing."
I'll update as soon as I can. Please review!
