For the Love of Fashion
I'm Not Jealous
Kagome glanced again over at InuYasha and the woman. For some reason, it gave her chills to see them together.
"I'm sure they talk all the time.." She went down a few aisles, in "secret agent" mode. She slithered behind a few stacked bolts and peeked her eyes over them.
"Yeah..Sesshomaru has been riding on me to finish the last part of the last dress for the fashion show saturday. I just needed a few bolts of fabric." InuYasha said.
"I wish he'd lay up on you a little bit.." the woman tucked a stray hair behind her ear and smiled.
"As if. I need some baby pink satin that matches your blush, a spring green cloth that matches your jacket, and 20 yards of shiny tulle to match the gloss on your lips," he leaned over and kissed her, only for a few seconds, and pulled back.
"Hmm..I'll go see about your fabric." She giggled and walked through an open door.
"What!" Kagome screamed in her head," he has a girlfriend!" She somehow managed to knock over an entire shelving case of fabrics, each one causing a domino effect.
"Kagome!" he yelled and ran towards her, knocking her to the other side of the room.
The shelf came tumbling down on the spot where Kagome was standing only seconds before.
"Are you okay?" InuYasha asked, still on top of Kagome.
"Ye-Yeah. I'll be outside.." Kagome, completely flustered, pushed InuYasha off of her and ran outside to take a breather.
"Wha- What!" The woman came running around the corner and halted in front of the mess Kagome caused.
"He-Hey Kikyo." InuYasha half-smiled while rubbing the back of his head.
"What the hell InuYasha! How did this happen?" She slammed the fabric on the counter and helped him off the ground.
"It was..," he looked out the window at Kagome and sighed," I did it by accident. I'll have Sesshomaru send over a check and-"
"No, that's fine. I guess it was about time I remodeled the store anyway. See you after work?"
"Yeah, I'll stop by and pick you up on the way to the house." He quickly kissed her on the cheek, bought the needed fabrics, and hurried out the door.
Kagome was waiting inside the car beside Jaken, looking away.
"I, uh, finished getting the fabric. Do you want to go to the park?" InuYasha threw the sack over the back seat and hopped over.
"I'm not really in the mood. Can you drop me off at my apartment, Jaken?"
"Mr. Taisho won't be happy." Jaken started the car and headed back towards the shop.
It was silent the rest of the way, with only the wind blowing through Kagome's hair.
"Turn left up here and it's the apartment building with the front gates." Kagome said.
Jaken turned and met the front gates," Wow. What a nice place.."
"Thanks. I got it from here." Kagome opened the door and waved goodbye as the car drove away.
"Today has not been my day." She scanned her i.d. under the scanner of the gate, causing the gates to open, and she solemnly walked through them.
"Kagome got car sick and had to go home." InuYasha firmly said.
They had managed to get back to the shop but Sesshomaru stopped them in their tracks when he saw Kagome wasn't trailing behind them.
"Hmm.." He folded his hands behind his back and circled around InuYasha, examining his every move. InuYasha just stood still with his head held high.
"Because of you she'll get a warning." was all he said and he turned to walk upstairs to his office, Jaken following right behind him to fill in for Kagome.
"Bastard.." InuYasha let out. He picked up the bolts of fabric and marched up to the fabric department.
Sango had been sitting on the couch, finishing up her lunch when the guys came in, and suspicion had gotten to her after the little quarrel just happened. She reached in her purse and pulled our cellphone.
Kagome heard the tune from "Every Heart" play and looked up from her pillow to see who it was.
"Sango?" She grabbed it from her nightstand and opened it up.
"Kagome! Are you okay?" Sango yelled from the other end.
"Yeah.."
"InuYasha and Jaken just got back from their excursion and InuYasha said you had gotten sick."
"Oh. I guess he had to tell Mr. Taisho something." She shrugged.
"Something?" The tone in her voice made Kagome jump.
"Uh, Yeah..We went to the fabric store and-"
"You saw his new girlfriend?" She took the words right out of her mouth.
"Uh huh. Listen, I know what you're thinking. It just surprised, that's all. I am not jealous."
"Oh really?" The sarcasm made her cringe. Kagome hated it when people used it against her.
"I'll be at work tomorrow, I promise. I need some rest before Saturday since I'm sure Sesshomaru will have me running around everywhere."
"Look, we'll talk later. Obaa-san is calling me up to fix a hem for my dress. Bye."
"Bye." Kagome slammed her phone down and pulled the covers up to her chin. She started to close her eyes but then realized she had forgotten to turn the light off.
"Damn it!" She yelled.
Sorry it's been a while. Everything has settled down and my writings will now normally continue for weeks to come.
So, you like this chapter? This is one of of those "I rushed and finished in a hurry" chapter. The next one will be 100% better, I promise! And, it won't be late :)
2 birds with one stone.
I hope the reviews are great, yet critiqued too.
