"Kagome I would like you to run a errand for me. I need you to take this pouch of money and deposit it into the account for the store. The bank is a little ways up the road. Here is the account number." Kagome took the money and account number and headed for the bank. While Kagome was gone someone stopped and dropped off something then left.
Meanwhile at the bank Kagome was waiting in a long line to get served by a teller. As she stood there she counted seven people ahead of her and at the moment she only seen two bank tellers helping customers. She saw three people on the side which helped people open new accounts and so forth. First day back to work and here she was on a errand for the boss by standing in line to put money in the bank account for the shop.
"Kagome how are you?" Kagome looked at the person that said her name.
"Hey Kouga. I'm doing good. Are you here to put money in or take it out?"
"Neither. Actually I am one of a few who help new people to open accounts as well as help people out if they have any problems with their accounts. Are you here to open a account?"
"No my boss had me run a errand for her by bringing in the money and putting it into the account for the store."
"Where's the store you work at again?"
"It's called Enchantment Of Delights. It is not far from here. You should stop by sometime. You might even find something for Ayame. Well, looks like I better move up and you should get back to work before you get into trouble."
"During my lunch break I will stop in and see this place that you work at."
"That sounds good, but I don't know if I will be there or not. It depends if I am delivering anything or on another errand, or out to lunch myself." Kagome then stepped up to the available teller.
"How my I help you?" A woman with lavender eyes and long blonde hair asked.
"I would like to deposit this money into this bank account please." Kagome watched as the woman picked up a slip of paper and wrote the account number down. "You have the most beautiful color of eyes. What is your name?"
"My name is Shiori," the teller said. When she filled out the slip of paper she handed it to Kagome to sign then Kagome handed the money that needed to be put in the account to Shiori. "Thank you Miss Higurashi and here is the transcript of what we did today." Kagome turned and started for the door.
"See you later Kagome." Kouga stood from his desk and waved. She waved back as she walked out the door.
At Taisho & Son Attorneys At Law
"So son have you thought who to invite to the 10th Anniversary party of this law firm being open?"
"No that has not come to mind."
"How about asking that delightful young woman Kagome Higurashi." Sesshoumaru walked out of his father's office and down to his office as his father sat at his desk calling the people who were on the memo Sango left in his box. As he finished the calls he walked to the front filing cabinets to see if any of the people whom he called had a file with them as well as stop at the front desk. "Would you know where I might contact Kagome?"
"Are you looking for a home address or work address? Because I just so happen to have both." Sango got a piece of paper and wrote both addresses down and gave the paper to him. After receiving the paper with the addresses he walked away and headed down the hall but walked into his son's office.
"Here is were you can contact Miss Higurashi." He then turned and left his son's office.
Speaking of Kagome, she was just pulling into a spot to park and locked the door of her car and walked in and back to the manager's office and handed Kaede the bank slip then headed to the front until Kaede stopped her.
"Kagome this was delivered here for you while you were out." Kaede handed the envelope to Kagome. She opened the envelope and read the note as she walked up to the front.
The phone rang and Kagome put the card that she was reading away and answered the phone. But all she heard was a clicking sound just like the ones on the answering machine at home so she hung up. Not long after she hung up the phone rang again.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm working, that's what I am doing. DId you need to order anything?" Kagome listened with a pen and paper ready. "Yes I just got done reading it, and because you're a good friend I will accept the invitation to go. I need to go unless you are going to buy something." She hung up a few minutes later without having to write down a order.
"Kagome today when you clock out for lunch, you need not clock back in for the day."
"Are you firing me Kaede?"
"Oh no dear nothing like that. I will be teaching Kanna here how to do the evening work shift." Five hours later Kagome was clocking out and drove home.
A few days passed...
A Hour Before The 10th Anniversary Party
It was an hour before the anniversary party and Kagome was just walking to her room wrapped in a towel. As she was going to her room Ayame came out of her room dressed and ready.
"Your still not dressed! You know Inuyasha will be here soon. Do you even know what your going to wear?" Ayame had that feeling to follow Kagome. "While you were in the shower I took the liberty to set out a dress for you to wear." They both looked at the dress. It was a silver floor length empire dress with a powder blue sheer overlay. Kagome put the dress on then Ayame done Kagome's hair. While Kagome was putting a little make-up on there came a knock at the front door. "You finish up here and I'll answer the door." Ayame headed out of the room out into the living room and answered the door. Opening the door Ayame saw both Kouga and Inuyasha standing there. "Come on in. Kagome is putting on the finishing touches. I'll left her know your here." Ayame walked to Kagome's door. "Inuyasha and Kouga are here. Kouga and I are going to head over to the party. We will see you there." Ayame and Kouga left and as Inuyasha was about to sit down on the sofa Kagome opened her door and walked out and over to Inuyasha.
"Evening Kagome. You look great. Are you ready to go?"
"Thanks. Just let me get my purse." She opened the closet and got her purse. "Say would it be alright if we took my car?"
"That would be alright." They headed out and to the car. Inuyasha gave her the directions to get to the place they were going. Sometime later they pulled up to a big house. Inuyasha got out and walked around to open the driver's door for Kagome. "Welcome to the Silvermoon estate, though I don't live here anymore."
"This is a big place. How many people live here?"
"My father and brother, the butler, seven maids." He placed Kagome's arm around his as they walked into the main door.
"Welcome home sir. Welcome miss. Your father is in the parlor." Inuyasha lead Kagome to the parlor.
"This place is full of people." Kagome voiced as they made their way to the parlor.
"Yes, it's like this everytime father calls for a party to celebrate the opening of the firm." They walked over to InuTaisho. "Greetings father."
"Son." InuTaisho embraced his son. "Welcome Miss Higurashi."
Meanwhile, someplace else a woman walked into her home and looked around to find no one at home but found a card on the counter so she picked it up to read what it had to say, then she took a shower and changed and walked out of the building.
"So where is Sesshoumaru?"
"You know your brother."
"Yep. Mister bad ass attorney who don't enjoy parties that much."
"Why don't you take Kagome and show her around."
"Because that is reserved for his wife." Came a female's voice.
"Kikyou!" Inuyasha smiled as he walked over to her and kissed her deeply.
"Who is this woman your with? Have I been gone that long that you start seeing someone else? And you missy don't even dream about a future with my husband."
"Wait Kikyou you got it all wrong. Kagome is, but a friend. She knows that I am married." Inuyasha walked off with Kikyou leaving Kagome standing in the parlor with people she did not know. Even InuTaisho was no longer in the parlor so she started walking around. She walked between people looking at the pictures and art work until she came to a pair of glass doors. She opened a door and walked through. She found herself outside on a balcony over looking a garden that had water fountains. Looking around the balcony she noticed steps leading down so she went down them and made her way over to one of the fountains.
"What are you doing here?" She looked to see where the voice came from. She saw who it was coming closer.
"I came with your brother."
"Why are you not with him right now? Or did you misplace him like you do with time?"
"No I did not misplace him. His wife showed up so he is with her. Why do you care if I am here? Do you not think someone else would invite a cold fish? Did you find anything to do with your gift that I had your brother bring back to you?" She turned and went back the way she had came leaving Sesshoumaru by the fountain. Upon entering the building she spotted Ayame. "Ayame I'm going to head home. See you when you come home."
Several hours had passed and Kouga drove Ayame back to her apartment. When they arrived Kouga woke up the sleeping Ayame and helped her up the steps.
"It's late so I will see you later." Ayame kissed Kouga on the cheek and opened the door and walked into the apartment and saw the apartment was dark. Due to the fact she had a few to many drinks she could not sense anything so with the thought that Kagome went to bed Ayame went to her own room and fell asleep.
When the sun rose the next morning Ayame had a bad headache so she slowly got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. Opening the medicine cabinet she got something for her headache then headed to the kitchen. On the way to the kitchen the phone rang so she answered it.
"Hello," Ayame said.
"Is Miss Higurashi there?"
"I will check." Ayame laid the phone down and walked to Kagome's room and knocked on the door but did not get a answer, so she opened the door and walked in and found that Kagome was not there. She walked back to the phone. "No she is not here. She must of already went to work."
"This is her boss and she is not here. That is the reason I am calling. If you hear from her ask if she plans to come in at all today?""I will." Then the phone hung up so Ayame hung up her end. "That is really weird. Usually Kagome is real good at showing up where she is suppose to be. Where could she be?" Ayame spoke to herself as she headed to the kitchen and got a glass of water and took the aspirin. She had just taken the aspirin when there came a knock at the door. "Wonder who this is." Getting to the door she opened it and saw a police officer standing there. "Can I help you?"
"Sorry to bother you this early, but may I speak with Mrs. Charlotte Higurashi."
"Mrs. Higurashi does not live here, but her daughter Kagome Higurashi does."
"It is very important that I locate her. Do you know were she can be located?"
"I can't remember the address off hand, but I can show you the way. Just let me get dressed."
"Alright miss, but you must hurry." Ayame ran into her room and throw some clothes on and grabbed her purse and walked out of the apartment locking the door and followed the officer to his car. A half hour later they pulled up and parked then walked up the stairs leading to the shrine. Ayame knocked on the door and when the door opened Kagome's grandfather stood there.
"Is Mrs. Higurashi here?" Ayame asked.
"Yes please come in." The grandfather let Ayame and the officer in and shut the door then called his daughter. Mrs. Higurashi walked into the room.
"Mrs. Charlotte Higurashi?" The officer spoke.
"Yes that is me."
"Mrs. Higurashi my name is officer Roderick. I am sorry to disturb you this morning, but I bring you news your daughter."
"What about my daughter?"
"At ten minutes to 11:00 am your daughter was rushed to the hospital."
"W-what happened?" Mrs. Higurashi asked shocked.
"Your daughter's car was found at the bottom of a embankment. Your daughter had to be cut free from the car."
"Could you take us to my granddaughter?"
"Yes get what you need and I will take you."
"Mrs. Higurashi, tell me where your purse is and I will get it for you." Ayame said and was told where it was and Ayame ran and got the purse then they were off to the hospital.
