Chapter 14- Sesshomaru Gets A Phone Call

"So, how are things with Kouga then? Are you still friends?"

"I don't know. I saw him earlier and he asked me and my friend Sango if we wanted to hang out and I said that we would. I'll probably regret it."

"You guys have known each other a long time. He was a jerk, but I think a friendship with him would be reasonable."

"Yeah, but I'm not sure how Inuyashas gonna feel about that."

"I understand, they hate each other."

"Yeah, but I won't go back on my word. I told Kouga I'd hang put with him and I will. Now, let's talk about you. How has your life been going?"

"Actually, it's been going great. I am training to become a doctor."

"That sounds great! Do you have a girlfriend or anything?"

"I did, but things didn't work out. I don't think she was the girl for me."

"Oh, well as they say when you meet her you'll know."

"I think I've already met her. I just keep letting her go without telling her how I feel about her." He looked into her eyes, but she quickly looked away. ojo had always been in love with Kagome. The whole town knew it, but he just wasn't Kagome's type.

"Hmm, you know this has been fun and everything, but I have to go find my friends."

"Oh okay. Bye then and it was really great seeing you again Kags."

"You, too."

Kagome and Hojo stood up and hugged each other. They then headed off in seperate directions and Kagome was glad to be out of that awkward conversation.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome hugged the man she had been sitting with tightly and walk away. He blocked Kagome's path and she could see he was very angry.

"Did I just hear right? You want to go hang out with Kouga?"

"I told him I would. Sango's going too. What's the big deal?"

"Have you forgotten what he did to you?"

"No, I haven't forgotten! I just want to move on from that."

"And hanging out with Kouga is the best way?"

"I tried other ways, but they didn't work out for me did they?"

"And what about that guy? You sure did hug him really tight."

"Are you listening to yourself? That guy is an old friend of mine. I shouldn't have to even explain that to you, because you should know what kind of person I am! You are so paranoid. And you say I'm the one with no trust? Yeah, right."

Sango and Miroku ran up to them cutting their conversation short.

"Come on Kagome, we're leaving now."

"Come on Sango I was only joking! I don't really think that photographer has a nice butt."

"Then, why did you keep making up exscuses for her to bend over!?"

Inuyasha and Kagome fought hard not to laugh.

"I wasn't! Those were not exscuses."

"Miroku, you threw your wallet on the ground and then asked her to pick it up. You could have picked it up yourself!"

"I have a bad back I didn't want to bend down and get stuck."

It was proving harder and harder not to laugh. Kagome snorted once, but covered it up as a seeze and they continued with there argument.

"Get stuck!? Even if you had a bad back why didn't you just ask me to get it? And why did you throw it in the first place?"

"I didn't throw it. I dropped it."

"You took it out of your pocket for no reason at all and then you threw it. I know the difference between a drop and a throw!"

"I swear I dropped it."

"Oh, so you 'dropped' it three times and all those times you just figured you'd ask her to get it?"

"Come on guys people are starring. Let's just go Sango."

"Yeah, let's go. I'll deal with you later Miroku."

"I look forward to that." Miroku said sarcastically.

They couldn't help it this time they really did laugh. Even Sango joined in and eventually Miroku did too. After a minute they caught their breath and headed on there way out of the mall.

"I'll see you later Miroku!"

"Okay, bye!"

"See ya Kags."

"Bye Inuyasha."

Sango and Kagome talked about Miroku and the photographer all the way home. It was a releif for Kagome to be laughing with her friend instead of fighting with Inuyasha.

"Miroku is really a nice guy Sango. You shouldn't worry. I doubt he would ever do anything to hurt you."

"I know, but I hate his wondering eyes."

"I can't blame you for that one, but I suppose that is just part of who he is."

"I know, but it still gets under my skin."

"Yeah."

"So, what did you and Inuyasha do?"

Kagome knew this subject would come up. She knew there was no way she could be left in peace when it came to the subject of Inuyasha.

"He said I was avoiding him and I told him I couldn't be his friend. Then I saw one of my friends and we talked for awhile. Apparently, Inuyasha had been listening to our conversation because after my friend left he came over and started yelling at me about hanging out with Kouga. Then he said that I was hugging my friend in weird way like I liked him. I deffinatelt don't like Hojo in that way."

"Inuyasha, was just jelious is all. He'll get over it."

"Yeah, I know, but I've never seen him act that way."

"I hate to say it, but I know how he feels."

"I guess you would."

"Yes, well your mom said dinner would be ready soon and it's already been a couple of hours and I'm starving!"

"Good, my mom can cook really well."

Sango had taken off running at a speed Kagome didn't even know a human could manage. She took off running after Sango hoping Sango wouldn't get lost.

"Your over reacting Inu. She isn't going to end up falling back in love with Kouga."

"Kouga can be very persuassive."

"Maybe but Kagome will be ready for his charming ways."

"I guess."

"Come on, stop worrying. Nothing will happen."

"What about that other guy?"

"The one she hugged?"

"Yeah."

"Show me how they hugged each other."

"What?!"

"Come on, hug me the way she hugged him."

"I don't know..."

"Come on!"

Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and hugged him just the way Kagome hugged her friend.

"That is probably just a way to say 'it was nice to see you' or 'it's been too long'." Miroku said still hugging Inuyasha.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but had she hugged him like this", Miroku pulled Inuyasha closer, "that would have meabt there was something going on."

A man walked by them and whistled at Inuyasha. Inuyasha jumped ten feet from Miroku who yelled:

"Hey back off he's mine!"

"I'll kill you Miroku."

"You wanted me to show you."

"Yeah, but I didn't want the whole town thinkin me and you were together, which they now do."

"Ah, who cares? I thought it was rather amusing."

"Maybe for you."

"Inuyasha, I didn't know you went that way." called a girls voice behind them.

"Ayame! Of course I don't."

"Who's the girl?"

"She's a friend. Don't think about it."

"About what?"

"What are you two mumbling about?"

"Nothing, so I hear you still live here in town?"

"Yeah, I'm a nurse at the hospital. I saw your brother there a little while ago with Kyumi."

"Yeah, I know he told me she was hurt."

"Yeah, so where's Kikyo at? I'd love to chat with her."

"I don't know we broke up."

"Why?"

"She cheated on Inuyasha."

"I always knew she was a bad choice for you Inuyasha."

"Yeah."

"Well, I have to go know, but we should all hang out some time."

"Sure sounds fun."

"That was a very beautiful girl."

"What about Sango?"

"She's even more beautiful. How come you two never got together. She obviously likes you."

"No she doesn't amd because she's annoying. You just don't know her yet."

"I guess, so let's go. There are still guys starring at you."

"I'm going to kill you Miroku."

Sesshomaru sat starring out of the window at the spot Kyumi would always lay down on the grass and stare up at the sky. He couldn't help but feel that the whole situation was his fault. It was his ex wife that had caused all the problems. He got up and went down stairs. He saw his brother running towards the door after his friend and quickly went out the back door. He looked up at the sunny sky and had to sheild his eyes. He head the door slam and yelling and knew they had just reached the house. He smiled a little to himself and lay himself on the grass. His phone began to ring and he quickly answered it.

"Yes?"

"Is this Sesshomaru?"

"Yes."

"This is the nurse from the hospital. We think you should come down here immediately."

"What's going on? Is she okay?"

"Just come as quick as you can. We'll explain everything then."

"Fine, I'll be there in a moment."

Sesshomaru hung up his phone. He decided not to bother with his car and used his demon speed and headed hurriedly toward the hospital.

I know it's a cliff hanger, but I', starting the next chapter now so I'll post it soon. Bye!
