Chapter 7: Anniversary

The next day neither Kagome nor Mori showed up for hosting. Both were there for school but neither showed up for hosting. "Sesshomaru?" Haruhi approached Sesshomaru.

"Is Kagome okay?"

"He is. Don't worry about him he'll be back by tomorrow." Sesshomaru flashed her a small smile.

"What about Mori-sempai?" Haruhi asked.

"They're probably together." He shrugged.

"Poor Mori! Kagome's a ruffian! Who knows what they could be doing! They could be taking down the Yakuza! Or...or..." Tamaki gasped. "Mori could be in danger!"

"Kagome is a lot of things but she is not reckless." Sesshomaru pointed out. "If she was doing something dangerous where she could get extremely hurt she wouldn't put anyone in danger and she surely wouldn't ask for help."

"Hunny-sempai. Did Mori say where he was going?" Haruhi looked at the small boy.

"No. Takashi just said he wasn't going to be here hosting today." Hunny shook his head. "Maybe he and Gome-chan are on a date!"

"DATE!" Even Kyoya looked up from his work stayion in surprise

"Alright men. He have to go find them and make sure Mori-sempai is okay!" Tamaki thrust his finger in the air. "Kagome's violent ways will not taint our beloved host!"

"You have fun with that. I have some things to attend to." Sesshomaru shook his head. "Bakas."

-Later-

The hosts had been following Kagome and Mori for a while. They caught them at a flower shop and watched as Mori pointed at blue Lily's which Kagome picked up. When she tried to pay Mori stopped her and payed for them. "This is a date!" Tamaki whisper yelled. "And look at that obviously expensive dress she's wearing!" Kagome was wearing a flowing knee length green dress. Her hair was curled and a green headband was on her head.

"Or maybe they're just talking." Hikaru said. It was what he wanted so desperately to really be going on.

"Hai it seems only logical." Kaoru piped up.

"Look at them. They're at a bakery buying cake! It's definitely a date." Hunny smiled. "Takashi's on a daaa-aate." He sang.

"Hunny-sempai. Now isn't the time." Haruhi said.

They continued to follow them until they got to a cemetary. They stepped inside and followed them to a tomb stone all the way in the back of the cemetary. "Why are they at a grave?" Kyoya asked.

"This is where Kagome's mother is buried. Oh my!" Haruhi gasped. "It's the anniversary of her mom's death."

-With Kagome and Mori-

"Hey mom." Kagome sat on the ground with her knees pulled to her chest. Mori took a seat next to her and glanced at her sad face. "I didn't think I could do this alone so I brought a friend with me." She smiled and gestured to Mori. "This is Takashi Morinozuka. But I call him Mori. He agreed to come here with me."

"How did she die?" Mori spoke running his hand over the stone.

"When I was 7...someone killed her. Sesshomaru's mother to be exact." Mori's eyes widened. Kagome continued on. "My mother met Sesshomaru's father when I was 5. I'd often gone to play with Sesshomaru after they met. They both fell in love with each other But Sesshomaru's father had just buried InuYasha's mother who died in a fire at the time. And although InuTaisho had been with another woman after his first marriage had ended, Sesshomaru's mother was still in love with InuTaisho.

"At first Sesshomaru wanted nothing to do with me because I was not his mothers child. But after a while he warmed up to me and claimed me as his sister. Then soon promised to protect me if he needed. I was a sister in his eyes. More of a sibling than Inuyasha, who is his half brother. Inu-kimi, Sesshomaru's mother, was enraged at the news of InuTaisho and my mom's engagement because, as I said, she still loved him.

"A while after the wedding, she came to the Taisho home. She ran around screaming for my mother to come out. Of course this woke the entire house including me. She planned to kill me and My mother to show InuTaisho what it felt like to lose the one he loved. SHe killed my mother, Then came for me but Sesshomaru protected me. He guarded my body with his own and Inukimi knew she couldn't hurt her only son. So she left. No one has heard of or from her since.." Tears came from Kagome's eyes and Mori wrapped a hand around her pulling her into a hug.

"Why did you tell me that?"

"I don't know. Just felt like I should." Kagome laughed half-heartedly and pushed him away. "Stop making me go soft Takashi." She rubbed her eyes. "Don't go telling those idiots. Although they'd been following us all day I don't think they heard me. You can tell Hunny-sempai if you want though. He's trustworthy. Just not anyone else." Kagome shook her head and stood up dusting herself off then helping Mori to his feet.

"Hn." Both walked out of the cemetary and Kagome locked eyes with Hikaru who jumped in surprise.

'So she knew.' Hikaru thought blushing. 'Kagome Higurashi you never cease to amaze me.'

-Next Day after Hosting-

"How did you know..." Hikaru started

"That we were following you?" Kaoru finished. Kagome'd just finished scolding them.

"For one, your disguises were terrible, Two, I can recognize Haruhi in the largest crowd. And Three, I kind of had a feeling that Tamaki would want to follow me to see what I'm up to and why I have Mori with me. And no, Tamaki, I was not planning to take down the Yakuza." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I thought you were endagering the life of my precious host." Tamaki whined.

"I told you, Kagome's dangerous, but she's not reckless. She wouldn't endanger the life of anyone that she cared about. Although I do wonder why you chose to take Takashi and not Haruhi."

"Haruhi would've flashed me an annoying look of pity. I don't want pity. I just didn't want to be alone." Kagome shrugged and sipped some tea.

"Why not take me?"

"Because we both know how you feel about my mother. So we both know what your behavior would have been like." She shrugged again and went back to drinking tea. Mori looked back at her and she smiled mouthing a 'Thank You.' He nodded.

"OH GOME-CHAN I'M SO SORRY!" As expected Hunny was in her arms in seconds hugging her like mad. From her guess, Mori told him what she told Mori. "I never knew! How much cake do you want? Or would you prefer ice cream?"

"It's fine Hunny." She said.

"Would you like to eat cake with me Gome-chan?" Hunny tilted his head and she sighed.

"Sure Hunny-sempai." She let him lead her to his table that was piled with cake. He pushed a chocolate cake in her hands and gave her a fork.

"Eat. Eat!" He urged her on. She laughed. The first real laugh she's done in a while.
