Chapter Ten: Surprise Kikyo
It was around nine o'clock when Toku came down to see his daughters sprawled on the couch. Kagome's head on the left arm of the couch and Kikyo's on the right. Their feet dangling from the couch itself. Kagome had a half smile on her face and Kikyo had a big ear to ear grin. Toku laughed causing the girls to jump and fall completely off.
" W-W-What happened?" Kikyo asked jumping up.
" Were are we?" Kagome asked popping up to the couch. Toku was rolling on the floor laughing his ass off.
" Ahem." Ayeka entered the room at this point.
" Oh um..." Toku stood dusting off and clearing his throat. " Morning girls. Sleep well...Phf... hahahahaha!" He started laughing again.
" What is so funny dear?" Ayeka asked.
" Well...ha...Kikyo was lying on that arm of the couch and Kagome on that one." He pointed to the spot's were their heads once were. " Then their feet were hanging off and they had faces that were priceless. I started to laugh and they fell off...HAHAHA...causing me to laugh harder. That's when you showed up dear." Ayeka giggled as the girls' faces turned beet red.
" Come now let's have breakfast. Where's Sota?" After this was said a loud thud came from above and a small black haired boy came tumbling down the stairs. " Sota?"
" Can't talk mom I am sooooo late! I have a date to be at the arcade for a special on PACMAN! I am so excited!" Sota shouted.
" Son you need to eat breakfast." Toku said sitting at the table. Sota frowned and sat.
" Okay, but I'm late as it is." Ayeka smiled and went to cook delicious fried pickles and omelets. She finished and placed the foods on the table. Kagome and Kikyo came walking from the stairs laughing. They had changed in blue-jean shorts and tank-tops. Kagome's was purple and Kikyo's was green.
" Well good to see y'all decided to change and come eat with us." Toku said smiling. Kagome and Kikyo blushed as they kissed their parents' cheeks.
" Morning all. Sota what's the hurry?" Kagome asked sitting by Kikyo.
"I...have...a...gulp...arcade...chew...date...swallow...for...chew...swallow...drink...PACMAN!" Sota said between bites, swallows, and drinks.
Kikyo laughed. " And you're excited no?" Sota nodded.
" He needs to slow down!" Ayeka said handing him a napkin. Sota took it and blushed.
Toku smiled and looked over to Kikyo. " Honey tell us of Teo. We have seen him a lot lately. Are you two officially an 'item'?" He asked. Kikyo about choked on her omelet.
" Dad!" Kikyo blushed. " FYI yes, we're an item." Toku laughed after taking a bite of his yummy pickle.
" I trust that kid. I like him too. A nice guy is what I wanted for you. I'm happy, who knows you could marry him and then he have no reason not to help with the baby." Kagome smiled. 'But I know they will one day.' Toku thought. He grinned.
' Just like she wanted.' " Dad...it's true though. He promised me he would, I trust him too." Toku smiled. 'For your sake dear I hope he does.'
Everyone finished and Sota ran out. " Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Bye Kikyo and Kagome!"
" Bye runt!" They yelled back. Toku and Ayeka smiled.
" Well I'm off to work. Bye Mom. Bye Dad." Kikyo hugged them. She had gotten a job at a restaurant as a waitress. Kagome smiled.
" I'm off too. I have a big day today. The Casino is going under construction in about two
months so I need to head in and help Inuyasha. Bye Mom. Bye Dad. Love you!" She ran off.
" Bye girls! Love you!" Ayeka said waving. Toku smiled and then frowned. ' How my girls are growing so fast.'
Kagome had gotten a job at the Casino after Inuyasha decided she needed one. She'd been looking for awhile, just last week he gave her one. She didn't know he knew about her dream to work at the Casino she had gone to since the age of fifteen. She was a waitress and a poker dealer. She was good at both. She arrived alittle after time to be there. Inuyasha was in the back room when she arrived. She threw on her black skirt and black shirt with 'Hiya I'm Kagome' written on a pendant above her left chest. She ran to the poker table and told the counter girl she'd take over.
" Yuki I'll take over from here. Sorry I'm late." The girl Yuki smiled and nodded.
" No problem Kagome. It hasn't been all that busy, yet. There will be soon though. Today's the special day, play five get five free. It's fun!" Yuki smiled and walked off. Kagome giggled.
" Silly Yuki." It wasn't long before a crowd of people showed up and surrounded Kagome. All in which were guys.
" Hey Kagome!" One guy yelled. " Deal me up!" Kagome smiled.
" Okay, but Hoshi you better be careful, last week you lost two thousand dollars." Hoshi smiled.
" Yeah I know." Kagome dealt and they had a blast. Hoshi won back the two thousand he lost.
" Finally! I can buy Kameka that ring she's wanted for some time. Thanx and bye Kagome."
" Bye Hoshi and tell Kameka I said hey!"
" Will do Kagome, will do!" He was out. The next guy came up and he was a rough looking guy.
" Hey sexy deal me in." Kagome gave him a eye roll and dealt. During the game he grabbed her chest. " You cheated!" He yelled Kagome screamed.
Inuyasha was walking along the Casino when he heard her shout. " Hands off you bozo!" Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha reeled back and busted the mans lip. " You okay baby?" Kagome rubbed her sore chest. " Yeah...I guess." The guy was thrown out and banded for harassment towards the dealer. She kissed Inuyasha. " Thanx, I'll repay you later." Inuaysha grinned.
Kagome finished her shift and ran off to the bathroom to change in her red skirt and white top, same pendant. Her apron too that held her pad and pen. She ran back out and started to wait tables. She came to one with a sweet elderly couple.
" Hi I'm Kagome. Can I take your order?" She asked sweetly.
" Yes...dear I'll have a Ceaser Salad and a ice tea please?" The elderly woman said. Kagome wrote it down and smiled.
" Sure thing and you sir?" The man didn't respond. " Sir?" Kagome repeated. The elderly woman nudged him.
" Shun this nice young lady is talking to you." The man named Shun looked up.
" What is it Reiko?"
" This nice young lady wants to take your order." The woman named Reiko said.
" She wants to take my what?" He asked.
" Your order doof!" She said a little louder.
" She wants to take my underwear off?" Kagome gave a laugh.
" No sir I want to take your order. I'm a waitress. What would you like to eat?" Kagome asked kneeling beside him.
" Oh why didn't you say so?" Reiko slapped her hand to her forehead.
" My husband, what a joy." She smiled though.
Kagome smiled. " I would like a bowl of delicious tomato soup and a iced tea please." Kagome smiled and wrote it down.
" I will return shortly. Please direct your view to the television while you wait." They turned to T.V that Kagome pointed too. " I'll be back in a sec." She ran off.
Kagome entered the kitchen. " Hey Momoko I need a Ceasar Salad and two iced teas. Also a bowl of hot tomato soup. Please an thank you!" Kagome yelled to the head chief.
Momoko smiled and brought out the food and drinks. " Here ya go kid." Kagome smiled.
" Thanx Momoko." Momoko smiled. ' She's gonna be a great mother someday and a great wife. She's so sweet.' Momoko thought. ' I wish I could have been.' She thought of her little girl that died at the age of two with her father in a plane crash. ' Yuri, Keitaro. Why did you have to leave me?' A tear slid down Momoko's cheek. She smiled and wiped it away. ' A better place is were you are.' She looked up and smiled.
Kagome took the food back and smiled. She returned to Shun and Reiko. " Here we are. A Ceasar Salad for Mrs. Reiko with an iced tea and a nice delicious bowl of tomato soup with an iced tea for Mr. Shun. Anything else I can do for you?" Reiko smiled and handed Kagome two hundred dollars. " What is this for?" Kagome asked.
" For helping us tonight." Shun said eating his hot soup.
" But it's too much, please take it back, I can't accept this." Reiko smiled.
" No please take it back. We have plenty more." She said.
" But..." Kagome was caught off.
" No butts Miss. Kagome, take it." Kagome smiled.
" Anything else?" Reiko shook her head.
" No dear thank you." Kagome smiled.
" No need to pay. It's on me." Kagome bowed and took the money to the register. She added the need money in it and took the rest with her for Kikyo's gammbling money. Hours passed as did Kagome's need to stay awake. It was only one pm, but it felt like twelve am. Kagome's shift was over and she walked to the back room and collapsed on the couch. " Finally! Nap time." She slowly nodded into sleep. Inuyasha walked in and saw her asleep.
" Kagome...alwasys working over time." He chuckled and slipped his coat over her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. " Sweet nap my love." He walked out closing the door.
Kikyo
Kikyo was waiting a table near the far corner of ' Denny's' the nice little resturant that they had been at the day or so before. Kikyo was wearing a black skirt with a white shirt and a green apron. Her stomach was showing signs of pregnancy. Her pendant said, ' Hiya I'm Kikyo .' She waiting a table that a sweet gentle family sat at. Wait did I say sweet and gentle... I meant...
" Hey give me that Yoko!"
" No Rei I had it first! Stop you loser! Mom!"
" Dad tell Shin to give me my doll back!"
" Keiko started it!" Kikyo smiled. ' Nice kids...' She thought.
" Kids! Stop now! We're in a public place now cut it out!" A woman in her mid 30's said.
" Your mothers right, stop or no dessert!" A man in his late 30's said.
Like that the kids all sat down and behaved. " I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I take you orders or will you need more time." Kikyo asked smiling.
The woman smiled. She had green eyes and beautiful long red hair. Her lips were painted a slight pink and her skin was a peach color. She smiled and looked at Kikyo's name tag.
" Hi Miss. Kikyo I will order four iced teas and two diet cokes. Childsized teas please. My kids are messy." The woman laughed.
" I'll get right to it. When I return..." Kikyo was caught off by the man.
"Then we will be happy to order." He smiled. His eyes were a warm chocolate color, his hair was a nice midnight black, and his skin tone was a nice tan color. His features were a nice built body and his smile was nice and welcoming. Kikyo smiled and walked off.
She returned with four child sized teas and two adult diet cokes. " Here we go, four child teas and two adult diet cokes." The woman smiled.
" Thank you Miss. Kikyo."
" No just Kikyo. Please I insist." The woman and man smiled.
" I am Susami Higuro and this is my husband Yoshi Higuro. Our kids Yoko, Rei, Shin, and Keiko. He is nine our oldest Yoko, Rei is our eight year old daughter, Shin is our third oldest six years old, and Keiko is our youngest four year old. She's the loudest some say."
" Mommy!" Keiko cried. The other kids laughed. She wailed." Stop being so mean!"
Yoshi smiled. " Keiko it's okay... kids quiet please." They all stopped laughing and smiled. Keiko was a cute little girl with red hair in pig-tails. Her eyes were a mixture of green and violet. Her smile consist of two missing teeth, but that made her adorable. Shin was also cute. He had jet black hair, green eyes, and tan skin. His teeth were all there, but he had braces. Rei was most cute. Her hair was dark brown with matching eyes. Her skin was pale and she had freckles. The oldest had brown hair also with green eyes. He's skin
was a peach color and he had braces too. They all smiled and said hi.
" Hello, I'm Kikyo Higurashi. Nice to meet you all." They all nodded. " What would you like to order?"
Yoko raised his hand. " I am I am!" He chimed. Kikyo walked to him.
" Yes?"
" I want a kids chicken meal please!" Kikyo smiled and wrote it down.
" Next?" Keiko raised her hand. She walked over to her. " Yes and you cutie?"
" I want a cheeseburger kids meal with no pickles!" She stuck her tounge out and squished her nose.
" You bet." Shin raised his hand.
" I want a chicken kids meal too!" Kikyo nodded and wrote it down as well as Keiko's. Last, but not least Rei raised her hand.
" I would like a hamburger kids meal with no mustard." Kikyo laughed and wrote it down.
" No problem. Now for the parents." Kikyo walked over to them also. " Mrs. Higuro?"
" Oh Sasami please. I would like a chicken plater with extra honey mustard with side fries." Kikyo wrote it down and smiled.
" Mr. Higuro?" Kikyo said smiling.
" Oh call me Yoshi. I would enjoy a nice plate of spaghetti with side toast." Kikyo wrote that down as well and smiled.
" I will be back soon. Here ya go kids." Kikyo hands them color sheets and crayons.
" Thanx Kikyo!" Keiko said smiling. Kikyo smiled.
" No problem. I'll be back soon with more tea and coke." Sasami had drunk most her coke and Yoko had half his tea gone.
" Arigato Gozamazu!" They all said and smiled bowing their heads.
" You're very welcome." She walked off. Into the kitchen came the sound of crashing.
" Teo baby you okay!" Kikyo ran in and saw him on the floor.
" Yeah alittle trouble balancing with a frying pan and slipping on mustard ." Kikyo laughed.
" Teo be more careful please baby." Kikyo said helping him up. " Now I have the orders for a nice family." Teo smiled.
" Okay right away." Teo kissed her before taking the pad from her pocket. " Two chicken kids meals, a hamburger kids meal with no mustard, a cheeseburger kids meal with no pickles, a chicken plater with extra honey mustard side fries, and a plate of spaghetti with side toast. You got it babe." His kissed her again. " Now scoot so I can cook. Your beauty is distracting me." Teo said covering his eyes.
Kikyo laughed. " I bet." He popped her butt as she walked out. She picked up two pitchers and walked back to table. " Here we are. More coke for Sasami and Yoshi and more tea for our youngest ones. Anything else?" They shook their heads. " Okay five more minutes and your food will be served." Kikyo bowed and walked off. Teo rang the bell.
" Baby order up!" Kikyo blushed and walked to the counter.
" Thanx honey." She took the plater and walked back to the table. " Here we are. Cheeseburger with no pickles for Keiko, chicken kids meal for Shin and Yoko, hamburger with no mustard for Rei, speghetti with side toast for Yoshi, and last but not least, chicken plater with extra honey mustard for Sasami." Kikyo said setting down the food.
Sasami smiled. " Thank you Kikyo. You remembered."
" No way I could forget orders, it's my job." Kikyo said smiling. She bowed and walked off. She returned to see all plates empty and smiling kids.
" Ice cream mommy!" Keiko said smiling.
Sasami smiled. " Okay. Four ice cream cones, two vanilla, one strawberry, and a chocolate. I will have a chocolate milkshake and Yoshi will have a vanilla one." Sasami said.
Kikyo didn't write she just smiled and walked away. "Four ice cream cones. Two vanilla, one strawberry, and one chocolate. Two milkshakes vanilla and chocolate." Kikyo said to Teo.
" Sure thing!" Two minutes later. " Here ya go babe!" Teo handed her a brown box with four cones and two shakes.
" Thanx Teo!" Kikyo walked off. ' Nice butt! ' He thought. ' I hope she likes her gift.' He said fiddling with the box in his pocket. He watched her walk away. ' I bet she will.'
Kikyo handed out the desserts. " Here we are! Anything else?" They shook their heads.
" No thank you. This will do." She smiled,(Sasami), and nodded. Five minutes later she returned to the table to find it empty.
" Were did they go?" Kikyo asked. She looked down to see a folded note. It read:
' For Lady Kikyo'
She opened it. Inside was a note and twnety dollars. It read:
Dear Lady Kikyo,
Thank you for all the service. It took real courage to serve me and my family. It was a lot for you, my kids aren't the most behaved when going out. Thank you so much for all you've done. Here is twenty dollars for your services. Arigato again. Have a very special day.
Arigato, the Higuro Family.
Kikyo smiled and put the note in her pocket. They payed the booth monitor (dunno what their called) and left. Kikyo smiled. ' No arigato Sasami, Yoshi, Keiko, Rei, Shin, and Yoko. I am happy to serve you. Ja ne.' She walked back to Teo.
( Somewhat mushy scene! If you're not fluff don't read till you see FLUFF OVER! Arigato!)
" Well our shifts are over, wanna head home?" Kikyo nodded. She was wore out.
" Please!" She changed and walked back out to Teo. " Ready?" He nodded.
On the way home he stopped at the movies. " What's with this Teo?" Klikyo asked curious.
" You'll see." He parked on the sidewalk and got out. He pulled Kikyo out and stood her in front of the movie theater. " Kikyo this is were we met and this is were I wanted to ask you. I've known you for at least, what two months and I love you. ( Yes I skipped up to a couple months. Sorry!) I want you to know how much I care for you and the baby you're carrying. I know it isn't mine, but I love it as if it were my own! Kikyo what I'm trying to say is..." He pulled out the box he was fiddling with in the restaurant. " will you marry me?" He was know on his knee. Kikyo was so wound up.
" I...I...I dunno what to say.."
" You could say no, but Yes is what I want to hear." Teo said smiling.
Kikyo thought about it for a moment. ' I dunno what to say...should I say yes? Should I say no? Should I say, I need to think about it?What do I do? I..I..I..I love him. I love him!' Kikyo thought a moment and soon tears poured down her face. " I love you Teo, so yes I will marry you!" Kikyo said as Teo placed the silver ring on her finger. A nice diamond shaped heart placed in the middle. Kikyo's eyes sparkled along with the diamond. " I love it!" Kikyo shouted. She threw her arms around him and kissed his lips passionately. " I love you!" Kikyo said panting.
Teo smiled. " I love you more my fi'ancee." Kikyo smiled. She liked the sound of that.
Kikyo paused. " What about my dad?" Kikyo asked.
" I asked him weeks ago. He agreed. I'm so happy know!" Kikyo smiled kissing him.
" Me too Teo, me too." They back in the car and drove to her house.
" Night my angel." Teo said.
" Night my love." They kissed before she entered the house. Kikyo smiled entering the house and softly closing the door behind her.
(FLUFF OVER!)
Ayeka, Toku, and Sota were sitting on the couch. Sota was reading a magazine.
" Hey sis." Sota said smiling.
" Hey Sota..." Kikyo said. She ran and hugged Toku. " Thanx dad! I love you!" Kikyo said tearing again.
" I see he asked." Toku said hugging back.
" Are you getting married?" Sota asked.
Kikyo smiled. "Yup see!" Ayeka gasped and hugged her daughter.
" I'm so happy honey!" Ayeka smiled tearing too.
" Thanx mom!" Kikyo said. " Were's Kagome?" Toku smiled.
" With Inuyasha at work. She'll be home shortly." Ayeka said.
" Okay." Kikyo said humming up to her room." Night everyone!" Kikyo said signing. She closed her door.
Inu and Kag
" Kagz...Kagz...wake up..." Inuyasha said in her ear. Kikyo's eyes fluttered open.
" Inu-kun?" Inuyasha liked that nickname.
" Yes and it's time to go home. It's seven o'clock time to go home." Inuyasha said pulling her up.
" Okay...(yawn) Let's go." Kagome stood and Inuyasha and her walked out to his car. He drove her home. " Night Inu-kun. I'll see you tomorrow." She kissed his nose.
" Night my beautiful angel Kagome. I will be here at twelve is Kikyo coming along?" Kagome shook her head.
" No. Teo and her have another date." Kagome said.
Inuaysha smiled and pulled her into a deep wet kiss. " Night love."
" Night my Inu-kun." Kagome said blushing from the kiss. He smiled and walked to his car. When it was out of site, she walked in. " Mom Dad, I'm home!" Kagome said slipping her shoes off and walking into the living room.
" Hello sweety." Ayeka hugged her. " Kikyo is upstairs waiting on you." She said. Kagome nodded and kissed her father's head and ruffled Sota's hair.
" Hey Dad, hey runt." Sota was now playing a game and smiled.
" Hey sis." She walked upstairs and knocked.
" Kikyo?" Kagome asked before walking in.
" Kagome! I have big news!" Kikyo said tackling her sister with a hug.
" Nice to see you too. What is the big news?" Kagome asked plopping on Kikyo's bed.
" Well..." Kikyo took a deep breath. " I'M GETTING MARRIED TO TEO! I'M ENGAGED!" Kikyo shouted showing her the ring. Kagome grinned wide and hugged Kikyo. " It's beautiful Kikyo!" Kagome pulled away.
" Does dad and mom know?" Kikyo nodded.
" Teo talked to dad weeks ago and asked me tonight were we met! At the movies!" Kikyo smiled falling back on her bed. " I'm so happy." She said hugging a pillow.
Kagome lay beside her. " I would be too. Congrats sis." Kagome said. " I help with the plans?" Her eyes closing.
Kikyo nodded. " (Yawn) Yeah you know it..." Kikyo's eyes closed too. " Night Kagome." Kikyo said falling out.
" Night Kikyo..." Kagome replied rolling on her side. ' My sister is getting married. I am so happy! Maybe I will get married to Inuaysha...one day...' Those were Kagome's last thought before falling asleep.
Teo
" Hey girls I'm home!" Teo shouted after opening the door.
" Teo! Teo! How did it go!" Tea asked smiling.
" Great! I'm engaged!" Teo shouted.
Tela walked in. " Bout time!" Tela huged him as did Tea. " A new sister-in-law? I like it!" Tela said.
" Yeah me too!" They all sat and talked for what seemed like hours.
