Chapter 11: A Different Side of Me Part 1
All that week, the gang spent most of their time together rehearsing for opening day for the second semester of school. It seemed that that week they spent with each other went by way too fast for them, seeing as most of them are going out of town to spend the rest of winter vacation either in Europe, the States, or Spain. Sango was heading off to the States with her step-parents, Miroku was going to Italy with his grandfather, mainly to check out the ladies and your huge asses (why else . ) and Kouga went to Australia and Ayame off to Spain. Sesshoumaru and Rin went off together to the Bahamas for a "per-honeymoon" vacation, so they said. Inuyasha was going on vacation to Europe with his uncle for slight business with part of the company that resides there, but Inuyasha mostly going to be lounging around at the 5-star hotel anyway. The only person not going anywhere was Kagome, on account of that her mother was way to busy at the office to take a vacation anyway; not even while she's at home, but Kagome didn't mind, because she had other things up her sleeve that she had to do before school started …
Everyone else had already left on their vacation except Inuyasha and his uncle. Kagome rode with them in their stretch limo to the airport so that she can say goodbye.
They arrived at Tokyo's First Class and Expense Airport; a very expensive and high class airport for the rich and famous. Kagome walked with Inuyasha and his uncle to the gate.
"Well, this is it. I'll meet you on the plane Inuyasha." Takahashi said, walking off towards the gate.
"Alright Unc, I'll be there in a sec." Inuyasha replied, turning towards Kagome, "It sucks that I have to leave now, especially since I was starting to like you." Inuyasha said, sarcastically.
"Ha, ha, funny," Kagome said, hitting him on the shoulder playfully.
"But seriously … I'm really am going to miss you Kitten."
"Yeah, me too." They fell silent for a while, not knowing what else to say.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me? I mean, since you're not going anywhere, and I can sure use the company while my uncle is busy with other stuff at the office." Inuyasha asked after breaking the silence for like a minute.
"No, it's alright Inuyasha. Besides, I have things I want to take care of before school starts." Kagome replied.
"Really, and what is that?"
"You'll see when school begins."
"So, you're not going to be here when I return back from Europe?"
"No, I'm going to be here, but you won't see me until Monday." Inuyasha had an uneasy look on his face, saying that he was very concerned, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Trust me." Kagome reassured him.
"Alright, but if I find out that you're hurt are in the hospital, or…"
"Yasha, Yasha, don't worry. It's nothing like that. Honest." Inuyasha calmed himself down and took a breather.
"All flights at 12:45 to Europe will be departing in five minutes. Thank you." The announcer said over the intercom.
"Well … I better be going now." Inuyasha replied, sadly.
"Yeah … have a safe trip …" Before Kagome could finish, Inuyasha pulled her into a tight embrace. Kagome returned the hug.
"I'm really gonna miss you Kitten."
"I'm really gonna miss you too … Inuyasha …" They pulled away from each other, and Inuyasha lightly kissed Kagome on the forehead.
"I'll see ya my little angel. I'll call you as soon as I get there!" Inuyasha waved off to her. Kagome chuckled to herself.
"Bye!" She yelled back. Once Inuyasha disappeared beyond the gate, Kagome walked over to the window to look out at the departing plane that was heading to Europe.
"Be safe … Inuyasha …"
Inuyasha sat in his uncle's private plane by the window. The plane was decked out with two comfortable leather beige chairs and beautiful carpeting that really brought out the interior of the plane. There was also a mini bar left of Inuyasha on the other side of the plane. Takahashi was currently on the phone with some clients. Inuyasha's eyes were glued to the window, looking out at the city below him, thinking about no one else other than …
"Kagome …"
Inuyasha sighed, knowing how much he missed her already …
"Alright then, we'll be there in three hours … alright … bye." Takahashi got off the phone and walked over to Inuyasha and sat in front of him on the other chair, "Now isn't this peaceful."
Inuyasha just sighed, not really paying attention to what his uncle was saying.
"I see that your mind is on something, or more accurately, someone." Takahashi stated, factually.
"Man, it's like you and Sesshoumaru just want to be in my personal life, shit." Inuyasha cursed.
"Calm down, nephew. Just a little concerned." They fell silent for a while.
"You know, you can't really know for sure if the person you love feels the same way if you don't ask, but I guess some things are better left unsaid then done. Isn't that right nephew?"
Inuyasha didn't say a word. He still had his attention directed outside the window.
"Now that I said what I needed to say, I going to make a few phone calls to some employers and then we can talk more." Inuyasha didn't reply, "… or not."
As Takahashi walked back over to the phone, Inuyasha sighed growing a little sadder that Kagome wasn't with him right now.
"I would tell her, but … but I know she's not ready for a boyfriend yet. Kitten's already gone through too much right now as it is, and I don't want to make it worse … but soon … soon I will tell her, just not now."
-------------------
Kagome arrived home an hour later after she said goodbye to Inuyasha. She had to go pick up some stuff before she returned home. She was immediately greeted by her mother who was just about to head back to the office …
"Kagome dear, it took you awhile to get home." Ms. Higurashi stated.
"Yeah, sorry mom. I had to go pick up a couple of things for my room." Kagome replied, holding up the bags of stuff she got.
"Oh yeah that's right. Well, I'm on call right now, so you can go ahead and call for pizza in a while if you want for you and Souta, he's upstairs right now, and I left all the supplies that you need on your dresser in a box that I got out of the tool shred and, oh, please promise me that you won't make a mess."
"Yeah, yeah I know, and I won't. Now, you should go mom."
Ms. Higurashi looked at her watch that read 2:15, "Damn, you're right. I'm already late. I'll be home around 10:00. Bye dear." She rushed herself out of the house as Kagome waved to her mom goodbye.
Kagome then closed the door and headed upstairs to her room. She instantly dropped the bags onto her bed. She walked over to the box full of supplies that her mom said that she left her and pulled out the materials.
"Good, everything's here." Kagome said to herself.
Kagome then changed out of her dark blue jeans and black sweater into some baggy beige overall's and a short sleeved dark blue shirt that said in white 'WARNING: Chick at Work.' She then tired her hair in a high ponytail.
"Well, it's time to get started." Kagome then started to take down all of her posters of No Doubt, Velvet Revolver, Maroon 5, and other bands she likes. Next, she started moving all of her furniture, expect her bed, to the outside of her room.
After moving her bed to the middle of the room so she could have some space, Kagome took out her supplies that she bought earlier. She bought two cans of paint, two brushes, a thick one and a smaller one, and a stirring stick to mix the paint with.
She opened the can of paint with a screw driver that was in the box and stirred the paint around so that it would apply smoothly on the walls.
"Time to put on some music." Kagome decided as she headed for her radio and plugged it into the wall on one of her outlets.
Instantly, her favorite song played through the small speakers …
She clings to me like cellophane So what if the sex was great Why you always kick me when I'm high
Fake plastic submarine
Slowly driving me insane
But now that's over
Just a temporary escape
Another thing I grew to hate
But now that's over
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now
Kagome started laughing and dancing around the room while she painted it, totally rocking out. For once, she was having fun …
I used to hang on every word She taught me how to trust
Each lie was more absurd
Kept me so insecure
But now that's over
And to believe in us
And then she taught me how to cuss ... that bitch!
It's over
I used to be such a nice boy
Why you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now
Kagome was twirling around dancing and moving her head up and down like a rocker pretending to play the guitar while the song went on …
She clings to me like cellophane
Fake plastic submarine
She's driving me insane
But now that's over
Why you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now
Kagome ended the song panting and sweating. She totally rocked out and loved it so much.
"Man that was fun," Kagome exclaimed, "This week is going to be so awesome."
With that said, Kagome continued to paint her room as the radio continued to play.
---------------------------
At around 4:45, Kagome was finished with the new paint job she had given her room. She was very pleased with her work and mentally congratulated herself for a job well done.
"Well, that's that." She said. Kagome then headed downstairs to call for pizza for her and Souta. Souta was currently watching television on the couch eating some cereal.
"Souta, don't eat that. I'm about to order some pizza." Kagome said, putting the phone to her ear.
"Really! Well, nuts to this." Souta said excitedly, heading back to the kitchen to throw away the remainder of the cereal.
The pizza came in a snap, and Kagome headed back up to her room an hour later after eating.
Kagome was glad to know that the paint had dried quickly.
"I'm glad I left my window open so that the paint would dry quicker," she said to herself, "Well, back to work."
Kagome decided to rearrange her room the way she wanted it. She moved her bed to the right side corner of her room so that now the back of her bed had a little open space in between it and the corner it was placed in. Next, she placed her wide computer table up against the left side of her room and her clothing dresser on the side next to the bed and her closet. Then, she added a couple of decorative little nick-knacks that she bought and positioned them either on her dresser or nailed to the walls. Finally, she re-taped all of her posters back on the walls the way she wanted them. It was now 8:30 and after all that was complete, she stood in her doorway, admiring her work.
"Wow! This looks so much better than before!" Kagome exclaimed. She replaced the faded light pink color of her room with a nice floral semi-faded green color that blended in nicely with her room.
"Wow sis'! Your room looks awesome!" Souta exclaimed coming up beside her.
"Thanks Souta. I think so too." Kagome agreed.
-----------------------
"I'm totally exhausted. I'm glad I got that out of the way today instead of holding it off until the weekend." Kagome said to herself as she began undressing in her bathroom. She then turned on the showerhead and stepped into the shower, immediately starting to lather herself with her favorite body wash, fresh Country Apple.
"Mmmm, this stuff always puts me to sleep." She exclaimed to herself as she gently washed away the suds from her body.
After about 2o minutes in heaven, Kagome walked back to her room that is connected with her bathroom.
"That feels better." Kagome sighed. She then walked over to her dresser and pulled out her under garments and pajamas. After she dressed herself into her nightwear, she heard her cell ring. Kagome walked over to it that was placed on her dresser and answered it.
"Hello."
"Hey, I told you that I would call."
"Inuyasha! Hey!"
Inuyasha chuckled over the phone, "You sound excited."
"Of course I do. I miss you a lot. How is it over there?"
"Keh, it's alright. Pretty boring if you ask me. I much rather you be here than me by myself. So, what are you up to?"
"Well, I just got out of the shower and I'm about to go to bed right now. I was pretty busy today."
"Oh really? With what?"
"That's only for me to know, and for you to soon find out."
"How come I can't know now?"
"I said soon. Can't you be patience?"
"Not if you're keeping secrets." Kagome giggled at Inuyasha's anxious voice, "Well…I guess I'll let you go so you can get some sleep. I promise to call you tomorrow when you're not about to bomb on me."
"Yeah, alright then. Have fun."
"Yeah right. Later Kitten."
"Bye Yasha."
After hanging up with Inuyasha, Kagome instantly snuggled up into her bed and turned out the lights.
"… Inuyasha … Well, this is just the first stage of my new life. The next stage continues on Saturday. I can't wait!"
Next Chapter
Kagome looked over the picture of the girl in the magazine then glanced back up at herself in the mirror. She laid the magazine on the counter, and started running her fingers through her hair, using two of them to measure the exact length the girl has it in the photo. Almost instantly, a light bulb went off in Kagome's head …
