Hi-Hi!! I am SO sad right now because I saw the last episode of Inuyasha on AdultSwim Thursday night. It was so sweet and the ending was such a rip-off, but I totally shrieked at the part where Kagura's thinking that at least she got to see Sesshomaru one last time before she dies. And the part where Kagome ran through the acid to stop Inuyasha from transforming into his demonic state! It was all so cool, and I cried at the end because it was the last episode! Okay… gotta stop that. All right, I can obviously see that you guys loved that last chapter and that makes me really happy and joyful! All right now, you guys totally rock! YEAH! And thanks again for reviewing, you guys are the best! Well, read this chapter!
Chapter 11: A New Look
"You're kidding!"
"Nope, I'm serious!"
"Miroku really did that? I can't believe he'd stood so low!"
"Duh! It was a shock when Kagome told me, but I guess it's not my fault he has a poor sense of judgment." Sango sighed, though she never knew Miroku would say such a lie. I hope he gets what he deserves! Sango smiled and laughed loudly at what Kikyo has said. Kikyo continued to sip her coffee while Sango was talking about the gossip. "So it seems like Miroku is a better matchmaker than you are, Kikyo. I mean, he actually found her a guy while you got her a date with a brainless idiot!" She laughed again while Kikyo pouted and narrowed her eyes. Just then, she saw the door open and it was Miroku. Why does he have to come on my lunch break? Oh man! Miroku turned his head and smiled when he saw his wife and Kikyo sitting down. He walked over to them and grabbed a chair. "Hello ladies." He gave Sango a kiss on the cheek.
"Afternoon Miroku, Kikyo was just telling me about the incident with Totosai she heard from Kagome. Did you actually say that she and Sesshomaru were engaged and that she was pregnant with his kid?"
"Yeah, why?" She gasped and slapped him upside the back of his head. "OW! What was that for?"
"How could you be so stupid? A relationship should not happen like that!" Kikyo picked up her sandwich and took a large bite from it. She shook her head and refused the urge to laugh. "Hey, I did us a favor! Now Kagome can take whatever anger she has out on Sesshomaru, and besides… I think that you girls are taking this too seriously."
Kikyo swallowed the food in her mouth and raised a brow. "How so?"
"You'll see, this plan of mine will most certainly work. Sango, I have a job for you."
"What kind of a job?" Sango replied, with a slight worry and doubt mixed in with her sweet voice. "A very important job. Just listen to me and Kikyo…" He turned his head towards her. "Yeah?" She answered impatiently.
"Don't you dare tell Kagome or anyone about this plan of mine, you got that?" She nodded her head as Miroku began to explain his masterpiece plan to them.
One Week Later
Inuyasha walked through the revolving doors of Taiyokai Inc. and began to laugh manically. "She ain't here! She ain't here no more! HAHAHA!" Everyone stopped and stared and their recently declared crazy VP. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and growled angrily and the people watching him. "What the hell are you looking at? Get back to work!" He yelled and they all soon stopped staring and went back to their own original business. He breathed in and out as he walked towards the elevator and pressed the button for the 40th floor. Too bad it's only for two months. The elevator dinged as it reached the 40th floor and the elevator doors opened to a screeching Totosai. "Inuyasha! Do you know that you are 3 minutes late?"
"So? Who gives a fuck?"
"I do, so listen here youngster. Just because your father left you and your brother this company, it doesn't mean you can treat it like a toy!" Inuyasha moved towards Totosai's left and began to walk away from him, but the old man followed after him. "You should be more responsible for your actions and to be more mature!" He stopped in his tracks and turned to the old man who he thought senile. He took in a huge breath and tried to speak as calmly as he could. "Listen you old fool, I don't give a damn if I'm not here by the clock, all right? And it's not the end of the friggin' world if I'm three minutes late!"
"If only your father was here to see you like this, I'm sure he would be so ashamed that his youngest son turned out to a pain in the behind!"
"Whatcha say to me you old fart?" Totosai lifted his finger and scratched the side of his head. "I don't know, can you tell me?" Inuyasha growled with annoyance and his hands clenched into fists. Why am I cursed with this old guy? I know who'll get him off my back! "Miroku!" Inuyasha waited for 30 seconds before he saw Miroku coming out of his office and walked towards him. "You yelled?"
"Totosai would like to express some words of wisdom to someone here and I thought that you could use them."
"But I don't…" Miroku started but was interrupted but Inuyasha. "Trust me, you need them." He patted him on the back and walked rather quickly to his own office leaving a confused Totosai with a pissed Miroku. Calm down, after all… it's only for a little while, right? Out of nowhere, Totosai began to give some business, moral, and unnecessary lessons to Miroku. He hung his head back and groaned. Oh Kami-sama, kill me now and spare me this pain of being around with this old coot for four months!
Taiyokai Inc. Second Building
Kagome leaned back in her chair as she listened to Myoga explaining the major details of Project Tessaiga to her and Kikyo. She sighed as Myoga went into even further details. Though it looked as though she were capturing every detail into her mind, her thoughts were elsewhere. Far away from the business world and all those non-worthwhile affairs into something that involved one moment alone with her boss. I still can't believe that Sesshomaru agreed to Miroku's silly and idiotic idea to impress Totosai-san! So does that mean I have to kiss him, hug him, and pretend to love Sesshomaru every time Totosai is near? But why do I actually like that idea? I mean, kissing Sesshomaru for no reason? I can't do that, even though he was a pretty damn good kisser and his voice was so deep and smooth and… NO! What in the hell am I thinking? I shouldn't, no… WON'T get a crush on my stupid, arrogant, and selfish boss! "No way he's gonna get the best of me!" She stood straight up from her chair as she declared her vow. Kagome's mind opened and she remembered that she was with Kikyo and Myoga, and she had just embarrassed herself in front of them.
Kikyo's eyes widened as she saw her younger cousin yell. "Ummmm Kagome… are you okay?"
Kagome laughed nervously. "Oh yeah, sure. Just… peachy!" She ended her nerve-wrecking laughter to listen to Myoga. "Well, I have explained the details of the project; I suggest you get started right away."
"Yes Myoga-san." They both answered. Once their answer was spoken, Myoga left the window-filled room, leaving Kagome and Kikyo alone to talk. "Kagome, what was that about?"
"Oh relax, would you? It was nothing, I was just…"
"Cursing someone, who?" Kagome shook her head and sighed. "Absolutely no one! There is nothing to worry about Kikyo." She smiled, but Kikyo could see right through that cheap smile of hers. I doubt this stupid plan of Miroku's is gonna work after all. Especially since Kagome cursed Sesshomaru just now…
3:00 pm
"See Kagome, that wasn't so bad now, was it?" Kikyo put her hand on her cousin's shoulder. "Yeah, I was just too nervous as usual. Thanks Kikyo."
"Oh yeah, almost forgot to tell you Kagome. Sango is waiting for you outside and she wants to pick you up." Kagome lifted a brow. "What about you?"
"Oh, I'll take the bus to my place since Inuyasha is working late. So go with Sango." Kagome nodded her head and exited the room with Kikyo. They both laughed and began to talk about nonsense things until they reached the lobby. "Well, looks like Sango is already here."
"Aren't you gonna come outside?"
"Oh, I'll wait until you leave." Kikyo smiled at Kagome. "Oh okay, well… see you later!" Kagome waved and ran outside to find a little surprise waiting for her. She gasped when she saw the little girl in the backseat of the car. "Rin, why are you here?"
"Come on in Kagome, Sango and I are gonna take you shopping!" Kagome nodded nervously and entered the front seat of the car and buckled in. "Sango, why is Rin with us and why are we gonna go to the mall?"
"Miroku filled me in on the fiancé business so, you need to look more you're engaged to a multimillionaire president and less like you're working for him, got that?" Kagome nodded her head, though she thought it was all unnecessary. Sango started the car and Rin began to talk about her day to Kagome and Kagome soon told about hers. Though she left out the part about her cursing Sesshomaru. After a while, they made it to the mall and parked in Sango's reserved parking space. "Come on Kagome, we better hurry." Rin told her. Kagome got out of the car and still thought that Rin and Sango had both gone nuts. They walked through the parking lot and made it inside. "Where are we going?" Kagome blurted out.
Rin sighed and walked to Kagome. "Just trust Sango and me, you're in good hands." She shook her head and ignored the small voice in her head that was telling her not to trust them. Why do I bother? Sango is acting weird enough, but Rin won't do anything that bad… right? They soon stopped at a store called Heavenly Chique, and Kagome stopped in her tracks. "Kagome, why have you stopped? Let's go in."
"What kind of apartment do I have?"
"Not a really good one, why?" Sango answered, confused at why Kagome was acting like this. "If I live in rat-hole apartment, then what makes you think I can afford the clothes in here?" Sango laughed at her reply.
"Kagome… I'm paying for it, and you won't owe me." Kagome's face brightened. "Well in that case, let's go in!" She ran in and began to look around. Rin giggled at how Kagome was acting like and Sango just sighed. "Suzaku! Suzaku, where are you?" Just then, a man with red hair and fashionable clothes appeared from under the cast register. "You called?"
He gasped. "Sango darling, I haven't seen you in so long!" He moved away from the desk and walked over to Sango. Suzaku and she blew air-kisses to one another. "Nice to see you too."
"Where have you been? You haven't been here for a month and I was starting to get a little worried that you might never ever come back!" He sighed while Sango giggled slightly. "I was just busy, but we need to talk right now."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I have the new line you were looking for, it's in the back room and I'll let you pick anything out!"
"Great, but today isn't about me."
"Suzaku-chan!" He heard a sweet and loud voice coming from next to Sango and he saw that it was Rin. "Hello little Rin, I know! Today is your birthday, isn't it?" Rin smiled and shook her head. "No…"
"Suzaku, it's not about Rin or me. I want you to transform my friend Kagome."
"Oh, well… any friend of yours is a friend of mine. Where is she?" Sango yelled out Kagome's name and she soon appeared. "Yeah?"
"Suzaku, this is Kagome." He turned around and his face absolutely dropped. "WHOA!" He shook his head and walked a little bit closer to her. Sango had to give me a tough one, oh well! "She's very pretty, but what is she wearing?"
"Clothes?" Kagome answered. "Well, this is gonna be hard! How do you want her to look like?"
"Transform her into someone who doesn't look like they're paying rent." Kagome frowned. Bitch! "And I can safely assume that it's gonna go on someone's credit card?" Sango sighed and took out her wallet. She looked through it and handed him her gold card. "OH Sango, you always were my favorite!"
"Well, I can't stick around. Rin will help you and you will call me when you are done with her… can I trust you?"
"Honey, she'll never look better!" Sango laughed and waved goodbye. Suzaku turned around again and began to circle Kagome. Rin began to rub her chin and smile. "Dark colors won't look on her and… no tight clothes."
"Of course, but… this will be a challenge for the both of us little Rin. Are you ready?"
"Yup!" Rin exclaimed and now Kagome crossed her arms around her chest. "One condition though…" Suzaku and Rin exchanged looks and shrugged their shoulders. "Anything." They both answered.
"NO… brown OR yellow!"
5 hours later
Suzaku sighed and slumped into a chair. "I never would have thought that it would be this much trouble to change one woman! I'm gonna need a break, huh little Rin?" Rin walked over to him and slumped into the chair next to his. "Who knew Kagome could say no to so many things? I'm tired! Did you call Sango?" Suzaku nodded his head and looked at his watch. "Sango should be here in a few minutes… get the girl ready!" Rin nodded and ran into the dressing room. "Kagome, Sango's coming!" Rin jumped up and down with excitement.
"Rin… do I look okay to you?" Rin nodded her head. "Don't worry Kagome, you look fabulous!" Kagome smiled brightly and hugged Rin. "Thanks!" Rin opened the door slightly and gave a thumb's up to Suzaku, which meant that Kagome ready.
He tapped his foot and clapped his hands when he saw Sango enter. "Oh finally! I thought you were never coming!"
"Shut up!" She yelled playfully. "So where is Kagome?"
"All right Sango. Now… prepare to meet the new and improved Kagome!" Sango looked at the dressing room until she saw Rin exit the door and behind her was Kagome. She wore a sea-blue dress that in a blue rose pattern, which she could twirl around in and it went to her knees. It was a V-cut, but not long enough to show her breasts. The dress was tied around the neck and Kagome wore blue high heels to match it. "Well, what do you think?" Kagome asked, feeling a bit scared by the silence.
"Kagome… you look… hot! I mean, Suzaku, you did a great job on her!"
"Of course Sango and I already ran your card through so everything is paid for." Suzaku answered. "How many bags are there?"
Suzaku looked over to Rin. "Ask little Rin." Sango raised a brow and looked over to Rin. Rin whistled and began to roll her eyes around, avoiding Sango's. "Rin, how many bags are there?" Sango asked, a little louder.
"Uhhhh… well, there's uh…" Just then, Kagome cut her off. "Sango, there's ten bags and Rin helped pick out some on the clothes and Suzaku here thought that most of them were really good."
"Okay, but Rin…" The little girl lifted her face and looked up to her. "You'll have to tell your father why you were so late, all right?" Rin pouted and nodded her head. "Get the bags and I'll be waiting the car." She turned over to ground where all ten bags were. She grabbed four and walked out. Rin sighed and looked sad. Kagome grabbed her hand and a warm smile appeared on her lips. "Something wrong, Rin?"
"No, it's just my dad." Kagome nodded and walked Rin over to where the rest of the bags were. She carried four so Rin only had to carry two. They walked out and Kagome had to know what else was wrong with Rin. "Rin, what about your dad? I know he's a jerk and all, but… did something happen?"
"No, it's just that… sometimes he ignores me and doesn't even look at me. Jaken says it's because I talk too much, but my dad hates me."
Kagome shook her head. I can't believe that Sesshomaru is a jerk to his own daughter! How low can you get? "Rin, I'm sure he doesn't hate you. It must be… something else."
"Yeah right, he's always been like this. Well, if my dad hates me then… I hate him too!" Rin exclaimed and began to run into the parking lot. Kagome gasped. Rin is so sweet, but she can't hate him. I mean… there must be some reason for his behavior. How sad! Kagome ran after her and soon, she made it to the car. Sango opened the trunk for her and she put all of the bags there. Rin's eyes began to become very heavy and Sango smiled at this. "Kagome, carry Rin into the car." She nodded and lifted Rin up. She opened the door and placed Rin into her seat and buckled her up. Kagome closed the door and went around the car to her own seat in the front. "Kagome, there's something I wanna tell you."
"Yeah?" She said as she put on her seatbelt. "There's a business party coming up and everyone's going to it."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Well, Sesshomaru was also invited and you have to bring a date. So that means…"
"I have to go?"
"Yup, and you'll have to convince everyone that you and Sesshomaru are lovebirds!" Sango laughed while Kagome groaned. Work, away from him. Home, away from him. Party, date with Sesshomaru! Why can't I avoid him? Fate really hates me!
