Chapter 14
...
Sango and Kagome were watching a comedy movie while letting their painted toes dry when they heard a car pull up.
"Must be Inuyasha," Kagome announced.
"I hope his date went well," Sango commented.
A few minutes later Inuyasha unlocked the door and came inside with a grin on his face. When he saw the girls staring at him it disappeared.
"What?" he asked.
Kagome and Sango exchanged knowing glances. "The date went well," they said in harmony.
"Oi! Don't talk about my personal life woman," he glowered at Kagome.
"Don't be so embarrassed. It was just a date,"Kagome replied.
Kagomes cell phone rang and she looked at the caller ID that read Sesshoumaru.
"Oh my god that's right! I never gave him my number yesterday! How did he get my number?" Kagome asked frantically.
"I don't know answer it though!" Sango yelled.
"I'm not ready to answer it! What do I say?!"
"How bout you start with hello?" Sango suggested sarcastically.
"Haha funny. Wait! This is ridiculous! I am a grown woman, I'm not in highschool anymore!"
Inuyasha snatched the phone from her hands. "Yo," he answered.
Kagome and Sango gaped at him.
Give me that! Kagome mouthed.
"Yeah she's right here gossiping about you with her friend. They've been at it for hours talking about men."
Sango put a pillow over her face to muffle her roar of laughter.
Kagome just looked at Inuyasha with her mouth open in disbelief at what was going on.
Does he have a death wish?! Kagome thought.
"Here she is." Inuyasha tossed the phone at Kagome who caught it with grace and glared Inuyasha's back as he walked into the kitchen.
"Hi," Kagome greeted uneasily.
"Gossiping for hours? We haven't even been on our date yet."
Kagome blushed. "I have no idea what lies that stranger told you when he stole my cell phone. At this moment I live alone!" Kagome made the last part extra loud so Inuyasha could hear.
She could hear Sesshoumaru chuckle. "Of course. I wanted to let you know I'll be picking you up at 5 o'clock Sunday."
"Alright that sounds good to me. So hey, how did you get my number exactly?"
"The half-breed while you were sleeping."
"Right, of course."
"Good night Kagome."
"Good night," she replied and pushed a button on the phone and threw it on the couch.
"Inuyasha! You better sleep with your eyes open tonight!"
If Sango wasn't there she would have zapped him with her powers as soon as he took the phone. She wouldn't even have cared if the house smelt like burnt hair.
Inuyasha came out of the kitchen. "What?"
"Don't what me! I can't believe you told him that!"
"You wouldn't answer the damn phone so someone had to! Plus a little pay back for talking about my personal life," he grinned. Obviously taking full advantage of the situation knowing Kagome wouldn't purify him with a guest in the house.
"How can you have a personal life when your dead, huh? And I was going to answer it! Ever heard of making a man wait?"
"The phone was going to go to voice mail and that's just annoying to a man anyway!"
"How would you know? Your not a man!"
"Ah Kagome...you didn't hang up the phone..." Sango interrupted and held the phone up for her to see.
"What?"Kagome jumped for her cell and pressed the end call button quickly. She stood there with her cell phone in silence for a moment. "Maybe he didn't hear anything?" Kagome said eventually.
"Yeah, I'm sure he hung up," Sango said encouragingly.
Her phone vibrated and there was a text message from Sesshoumaru:
Making a man wait. What an interesting theory you have there.
Kagome dropped the phone like it had burned her and walked towards the kitchen. "I'm going to go drowned myself in melted ice cream..."
Inuyasha cracked up when he looked at the message and Sango went to consul her friend-after she stopped smiling herself that is.
...
"Yo," Inuyasha greeted.
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. "I'm calling to speak with Kagome. Is she there?"
"Yeah she's right here gossiping about you with her friend. They've been at it for hours talking about men."
"Really now? How interesting," Sesshoumaru replied. It was nice to know he was worth talking about for hours.
He glanced at Rin coloring with her crayons. "May I speak with her now?"
"Here she is."
There was a moment of silence before he heard Kagome's breathing.
"Hi," Kagome greeted uneasily.
"Gossiping for hours huh? We haven't even been on our date yet." He smirked to himself knowing she was probably glaring at the half-breed.
"I have no idea what lies that stranger told you when he stole my cell phone. At this moment I live alone!" Kagome made the last part extra loud probably talking to Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru chuckled. "Of course. I wanted to let you know I'll be picking you up at 5 o'clock Sunday."
"Alright that sounds good to me. So hey, how did you get my number exactly?"
"From the half-breed while you were sleeping."
"Right, of course."
"Good night Kagome."
"Good night." she replied.
Sesshoumaru was about to hang up when he heard the next line come from the female's mouth.
"Inuyasha! You better sleep with your eyes open tonight!"
Sesshoumaru put the phone back to his ear. He'd rather listen to this conversation then return to the papers presently in his lap.
"What?" he heard Inuyasha retort.
"Don't what me! I can't believe you told him that!" Kagome yelled back fiercely.
"You wouldn't answer the damn phone so someone had to! Plus a little pay back for talking about my personal life."
The half-breed was swimming in deep waters.
"How can you have a personal life when your dead, huh? And I was going to answer it! Ever heard of making a man wait?"
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.
"The phone was going to go to voice mail and that's just annoying to a man anyway!"
He agreed with Inuyasha on that notion.
"How would you know? Your not a man!"
But he also agreed with Kagome on that point.
"Ah, Kagome...you didn't hang up the phone..." a female's voice interrupted. His employee Sango?
"What?"he heard Kagome ask before there was finally silence as the call ended.
Sesshoumaru knew Kagome was hoping he hadn't heard the conversation but he couldn't very well pass up the opportunity given to him. So he sent her a text message and smiled to himself.
"That was Kagome right?" Rin asked.
"Yes," he answered.
"Do you like her Sesshoumaru?" The child looked at him with curiosity.
"Hn. I do Rin."
Rin smiled. "Do you love her?"
Sesshoumaru looked at the child questionably. "Why do you ask such a question?"
"Because when two people love each other they get married right?"
He had to stop letting her read all those fairy-tales so much. "Who told you that?"
Rin shrugged. "I wouldn't mind Kagome living with us either sooo I give you my permission to marry her if fall in love."
"Hn."
"Sesshoumaru if you married Kagome would you have a baby? Wait, where do babies come from?"
Rin was at that age where everything that came out of her mouth was a question since she was curious about everything. He knew she was too young for the truth. And he was not ready to have such a conversation with the child, ever.
"A magical stork who brings babies to married people in love," he answered.
Maybe one more fairy-tale couldn't hurt all that much.
...
Kagome laid there with her legs up alongside Sango's on the couch.
"Inuyasha's probably asleep now," Sango commented.
"Most likely," Kagome replied.
"Payback time?" Sango asked.
"Oh yeah," she smirked.
Both girls jumped up in a swift movement.
"I've got the sharpies," Kagome said coming out of the kitchen.
"I've got the cell phone to take pictures for present and future ridicule and blackmail," Sango replied.
They headed up the stairs shushing each other and smiling deviously.
