Chapter Twenty-Six: Date With Zain
--
"Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha. "You're not going on a date with that guy!"
Kagome hissed, "Shh! Raiko is sleep in the other room!"
She grabbed the wireless phone, but Inuyasha snatched it out her hand and glared,
"Kagome, why are you being so stubborn."
"You're one to talk." glared Kagome.
He huffed, "What if he finds out who you are?"
"If he does," started Kagome, trying to take the phone from him. "I'll make sure you're the first to know. Now give me the phone!"
He held the phone above his head, "How are you going to tell me when you're locked up in some wet cave in the middle of nowhere. With a bunch of horny men."
"Give it here!" shouted Kagome, jumping on his back, reaching for the phone.
Neither of them noticed Raiko come out the room rubbing her eyes. Sango and Miroku walked out their room; looking like zombies. Sango blinked,
"What in the heck are you two doing?"
They paused and looked at the three. Kagome sent Sango a thankful look and snatched the phone from the distracted Inuyasha. She ran into their room, and locked the door. Inuyasha banged on the door,
"That wasn't fair!"
"Inuyasha, I have to do this! Whether you like it or not!" yelled Kagome.
He growled and replied, "So I get no say in this huh!? Alright, fine! I'll go to that damn company to beat the hell out of Naraku! Get myself killed! How about that!"
"You're so immature!" yelled Kagome.
Raiko walked over to Inuyasha and tugged on his hand, "You're going to die?"
"Aw man." grumbled Inuyasha when he saw her eyes tearing up.
The door swung open and Kagome pointed an accusing finger at him,
"See what you did!"
Kagome glared at him as she picked up Raiko. She walked into the room and slammed the door in his face. Miroku shook his head,
"Inuyasha, my friend, I'm willing to teach."
"Screw you!" spat Inuyasha.
He looked amused, "Lesson number one; watch your mouth around children."
"Oh whatever!"
Sango yawned and shook her head while she walked back into the room. He followed. Next thing he heard was Sango screaming,
"Miroku! Sleep on YOUR bed got damn it!"
"Yeah." said Kagome's voice on the other side of the door, she smiled at Raiko who was playing with Kagome's necklace which was still around her neck. "Thanks."
Kagome tapped her knee as she waited for the dumb butt to come to the phone. Some women picked up, her voice sounded tired and restless. She knew he was some type of player; had the looks for it. Finally, his cocky voice came,
"I'm surprised you didn't soon as possible."
"Sorry to disappoint you hun," started Kagome, trying to sound NOT like herself, "but I'm not interested in becoming a prostitute."
He laughed, "By the way you looked, I assume you were. What exactly were you attending when you came to the office."
"Can we get to the point please!" yelled Kagome.
Zain laughed again, " Yes, meet me at the 'Roid Rage' club."
"Time?" asked Kagome; trying to stop herself from cursing the idiot out.
He replied, "Eight p.m. Sharp. If you don't mind I have to go."
The next thing she heard was the dial tone. Kagome hung up, huffed and dropped the phone on the bed. She groaned and fell back onto the bed. Raiko laid her head on Kagome's stomach, still playing with the necklace,
"Kagome?"
"Hm?" asked Kagome, staring at the ceiling.
She asked, "Is Daddy going to die?"
"Oh Raiko," replied Kagome, sitting up, "your father was just talking silly. He's not going to get hurt, okay?"
Raiko looked at Kagome with tears, "Promise?"
"I can't promise that because your dad is…he's very…-er-…pig-headed." replied Kagome, not want to promise anything, not able to see the future.
Raiko giggled, "Heh heh…you called Daddy a pig head!"
"He is." laughed Kagome, poking Raiko in the side.
Kagome was soon tickling Raiko. She laughed until she was red. There was a knock at the door and then Inuyasha's voice came,
"Kagome come on, open the door."
"I don't know if I should." mumbled Kagome, poking Raiko in the side again, getting another giggle out of her.
He sounded like he was aggravated, "Kagome…"
"Alright, alright." sighed Kagome.
Raiko smiled, and hid under the bed. When she opened the door he was leaning on the frame. She crossed her arms,
"Inuyasha, I am listening to you, but…I'm still trying-
He captured her lips into a heated kiss; Kagome pushed away and glared looking back,
"Inuyasha! I swea-…where'd she go?"
She heard giggling under the bed. Kagome smiled and walked over to the closet,
"I wonder if she's in here!?"
Inuyasha smirked. She looked under the covers, hearing giggling under the bed. Kagome dropped to the floor,
"Found you!"
Raiko busted into laughter as Kagome pulled her out. Inuyasha watched as Kagome tickled Raiko, a smirk on his face. Raiko soon escaped Kagome and ran to Inuyasha. Kagome laughed, sitting up. She caught Inuyasha staring, and smiled.
Rin called,
"Raiko! Want something to eat!?"
She giggled and ran toward wherever Rin was. Inuyasha closed the door behind him and leaned against it,
"Guess you don't have to worry about Raiko liking you or not."
"How did you know about that?" asked Kagome, crossing her arms.
Inuyasha smirked, "Well you talk in your sleep."
"Oh." blushed Kagome.
He wrapped his arms around her, "She likes you Kagome; she'll love you as a mother."
"I love you Inuyasha." smiled Kagome, hugging him back.
He smirked, "I love you too."
Seven Forty-One
"No." repeated Kagome, for the hundredth time that day.
Inuyasha sighed heavily, "Please."
"No." replied Kagome. "You're not following me. That man's a demon, he'll sense you following before you can sense him trying anything funny. Stop worrying, I'll be fine."
He glared, "How can I not worry?"
"I'm leaving." murmured Kagome, slipping on her shoes, pulling her blue jean ends over them, and then grabbed her sweater.
She looked back at him, he had a scowl on his face. Kagome sighed heavily, then left. She nodded to the others, to makes sure he didn't follow. Once out the door, she changed into the same features she was before. Kagome huffed once again, then left the hotel.
'Roid Rage Club
"Wow, you actually dressed causal." spoke Zain over the music.
Kagome glared, "May I ask why you choose to discuss something in a club!"
"So I won't have to listen." he replied.
Kagome grabbed his arm roughly and walked outside. Once outside where it was quiet she glared,
"You're going to listen whether you like it or not."
"Fine, fine. Shall we walk around the pond?" asked Zain, gesturing toward the dark sidewalk, which brought out the glistening pond.
She grumbled, "Whatever."
"So are you married or just engaged?" asked Zain, signaling at the ring.
Kagome sighed, "Engaged-
"How old are you?" asked Zain, stuffing his hands into his pocket.
Kagome glared, "Twenty-three."
"Riiight." nodded Zain. "You look seventeen to me."
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
"With long jet black hair, Dartmouth green eyes." continued Zain.
Kagome stopped in her track, "Wha-
Zain stopped walking, turned around and smirked. Kagome turned to the pond to see her reflection. She gasped. Zain snorted,
"A professional would have thought to look at their own reflection before leaving."
Kagome looked disappointed, and clenched her fist. What happened? Why didn't her powers work? He snorted,
"I knew you were a Dust Miko; day one. Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. You're to cute for that."
"You'll hear me out?" asked Kagome, glaring at him when he looked her up and down.
He shrugged, "Whatever you want."
"Thank you!" huffed Kagome. "I thought you were a bad guy."
Zain smirked, "I' not stupid enough to trust that Naraku guy."
"Well, anyway, listen…
