Few days passed and Kagome went to her daily routine. Waking up like a zombie, eating a sandwich and run to the office, the same office Inuyasha was once held in the company.
Once there, she would get some papers done, and Sango, her friend and secretary will bring her some painkillers and her favourite tea, chat a bit, then run again , back and forth from the office to the field, to meetings, then comeback home, have dinner with Izayoi and Toga, take a bath and fall asleep.
That was her life in general and never complained about it. It was the only way she survived and this is how she learned to act and live without him beside her.
Sango POV.
Her job wasn't easy but she liked it, to not mention that she actually enjoyed being in this world. She and Kagome were classmates since highschool and their friendship reached the peak pretty fast. She took care of Kagome business life and she wasn't afraid of admitting that she also took care of her love life.
Not once she saw Kagome crying over Inuyasha in public or at the company, she couldn't possibly understand how she felt but supporting her was the best she could do for her friend and boss.
The elevator reached the 11th floor and her high heels started to click until the Boss office.
3 Years ago Inuyasha left this same room, telling Sango a simple "Good Job and Goodnight".
If she knew that he would be leaving the same night, she would have used the rope and handcuffs prepared for emergency cases in the building ,to keep him from doing whatever that crazy mad semi demon brain was thinking.
After that, Kagome was nowhere to be seen for one week. Yes, it took her only one week to get over and work in his place, she spent nights looking and resolving all the papers, the projects he had made, she even kept his office clean and the never moved something from its place. Told the mass media that her husband was busy and hardworking no matter what.
She and the Taisho family kept a secret his leaving, she still pretented to be his wife and all the happy marriage.
What it pained Sango the most was that Kagome forgot how to live, how to smile for real, how to eat. She skipped her meals, had only tea and bread most day, she remembered to eat only at the Taisho residence where her mother in law would probably force her.
Sango really wanted her friend to be able to forget this political stupid thing and actually have fun for a little.
That's why she planned a whole friday night at a nice club, just them, no boys, no worries.
Truth be told, Sango wasn't single, she had a boyfriend, Miroku, which ironically enough was Inuyasha's best friend since they were kids. Miroku actually took some ownership of the clubs Inuyasha once had.
Sango knew that the boys still talked over the phone but never really got a information out off Miroku .He was secretive, even to her, his girlfriend ,which made her mad but somehow understood the situation.
She knocked on the door before entering Kagome's office.
⁃ Hey, bestie! how she greeted her was no shock.
⁃ Hei Sango. Kagome never looked at her, already knowing who she was, her eyes kept busy reading something on the laptop.
⁃ Hope you don't forget that tonight we go out , okay? she put her hands on her hips looking like a mad mother.
Sango was bossy and Kagome didn't mind her style at the work place.
⁃ No, i wouldn't miss seeing you getting drunk and make a show at the club. she finally grinned devilish and turned toward her best friend.
⁃ oh come on, it wasn't that bad last time. she complained like a kid.
⁃ Sango, you puked on the bodyguard and almost had us banned from the club. if the owner wasn't Miroku then i don't know . she shuggered, taking a sip from her tea.
⁃ well i guess he is useful sometimes. sarcasm was her speciality and you could hear her laughing a bit.
⁃ actually, i want to take out someone with us. she stated, checking up her phone.
⁃ oh? who? a man? she asked curious in her little sneaky manner.
⁃ Sango! her eyes looked at her with a face that said" no way".- Its my brother in law girlfriend.
⁃ thats fine with me. i will wait for you at 8 pm and don't be late! she said before closing the door and answering phone calls.
Kagome POV.
Kagome wasn't in the mood for clubbing but she really needed a change of mood.
Sango really took care of her and a genuine smile appeared on her lips when thinking of her little friend.
She knew that her boyfriend Miroku might still be talking with Inuyasha but she wanted to ignore any subjects when they met occasionally.
She couldn't date another man, she couldn't be involved with anyone, and the ring on her finger remembered her of this every moment.
Closing her eyes for few moments she pictured herself when Inuyasha proposed to her.
They were in bed, Inuyasha was tired and a bit tipsy from a party held by his father.
She wore a red cocktail dress that night, his favorite colour, something that he asked she should be wearing in his presence and outside of it. He said that red was his lucky colour and it turned him on , that being said, she really wore everything with red for him.
Suddenly..
She opened her eyes, blinking , now she realized she never got the chance to wear red in those 3 years, and maybe tonight was a good idea.
Kagome invited Rin tonight, she was sure Sesshomaru didn't mind it, and to be honest she didn't care.
All men in theTaisho family were hella possesive, she heard some stories from Izayoi about dog demons blood, heritage and mating.
In 2100 , Tokyo held around 10 pure demon families while the rest on Asia counted 10 more. She tried to study in this matter more but making money was her goal right now.
Before Inuyasha left, he was holding a big party to commemorate some kind of parternship between two big families. She overheard him speaking at phone quite often in that last week.
And one particular night, he cameback at home around 2 Am in the morning and her sleepy body went to welcome him like usual.
But what she heard made her stop and listen more behind his study door.
One business men that held a chain of hospitals and medicine faculty, wanted to get pure blood demons samples and make a fishy research, and from Inuyasha's voice and frown, she considered that it was something worth to worry about.
She never thought that Inuyasha left because of another women, but who knows?
Kagome made up her mind, tonight she was going to forget about him and all this work, at least for few hours.
Rin POV.
She searched the club for a while, the invitation Kagome gave her didn't exactly said the exact address and the club looked scary to her.
⁃ Hello, Kagome sama, are you here? I'm outside. she informed over the phone.
⁃ I'm picking you up in 2 minutes. She heard over the phone and nodded simply.
Rin was excited, she admired Kagome's work and one day she wanted to follow her steps. Sesshomaru didn't oppose about the hang out, he trusted Rin in Kagome's hands.
After few minutes, a car parked near her, and one long leg got out of it before she could spot Kagome. Rin looked at her and couldn't believe how she dressed, it made her wonder what kind of club they were going in.
A strapless red dress was hugging Kagome's delicious curves, that most of the men near the club enjoyed watching.
She wore some diamond starshaped earrings and white high hees that made Rin wonder how she was able to walk.
⁃ Sorry, the traffic. Again Kagome was talking in her rushed style and smiled.
⁃ No problem, you look ravishing. a chuckle could be heard from both of them.
⁃ you too. but i guess that devilish jackass of Sesshomaru wouldn't approve of tonight dresses.
She nodded in agreement because Rin wore a gold cocktail dress with high white boots and little earrings. She wasn't emanating that much sex-appeal like Kagome but she knew better than making Sesshomaru mad or jealous.
They got inside and Rin was surprised how easy they passed the bodyguards and went to the VIP section.
The music was crazy, many couples dancing and the light was getting her dizzy.
Kagome took a sit and told the bar tender to give her a green apple. She didn't want to drink alcohol for the moment but she made sure to do it later.
⁃ order anything, it's on Sango, her boyfriend owns this club. she told her still keeping her calm smile.
⁃ Thank you but i don't really drink, i will take a lemonade. she confessed and Kagome ordered it.
⁃ Hei, sexy ladies.
Sango really came up, all fresh and wearing a similar type of dress like hers but deep purple with black highheels.
⁃ I'm surprised you didn't show up with Miroku, he let you out looking like this, huh? Kagome asked, knowing Miroku's pervert side.
⁃ He is upstairs, bla bla, i told him to it's girls night. Hi, im Sango, i work with Kagome. she told Rin and took a sit next to her while holding a champagne bottle.
⁃ work as in, she works for me. Kagome informed Rin with an evil smirk.
⁃ Yada yada, My boss , what can i tell. she said making a bored face, then she opened the bottle and served the girls.
⁃ Nice to meet you. Rin was getting comfortable finally and totally liked the company. They started to chat about the company, where Rin worked, and how the club was actually full of hotties tonight. She wanted to make a remark at some point about Inuyasha but Kagome was having too much fun in her opinion and preferred to not say a thing.
After one hour, the girls got a bit tipsy , except for her, which made them even more open about their feelings and mood. Few minutes later, a guy tried to speak with them and flirt a little but she only blushed trying to hide herself behind Kagome's back.
⁃ Hei little vixen, would you like to dance? he asked Kagome, holding a glass of red wine with him and you could tell from a mile he was out of his character, smiling like a puppy.
⁃ I'm not sure... She answered totally unbothered by his presence and question. She wasn't in the mood to dance with someone because she was too tired. She felt good staying there at the bar, drinking with the girls.
⁃ Oh come on Kagome, just one song! you promised me you would have fun. That was Sango 's voice, whispering in her right ear.
Miroku POV.
Miroku watched from his chair what happened in his club. The big dark window in his room upside the stage was the perfect way of seeing wide open everything.
He let Sango to do what she wanted, he liked his woman free, totally safe in this place.
Checking his phone, the new song that played catched his attention, looking down at the girls who stood at the bar.
Seeing Kagome here was reassuring for him, he liked to see the girl was laughing despite being hurt by his best friend.
Inuyasha was a fool in his opinion but after some time, he got his point of view and considered the reason behind his leaving.
His eyebrow rose when he noticed a guy took Kagome to the stage and started to dance with him.
He started to text a certain message, taking a sip from his skotch glass.
‚'' Tha's turning out quite funny'' he thought before pressing the button send on his phone.
" She is wearing red and dancing with a dude"
The text was simple and informative enough and he knew it said exactly what the receiver wanted to know.
He closed the door of the room and went downstairs to look closer to the girls, getting to touch Sango's butt in that dress was a chance he had to take.
Kagome POV.
She was dizzy enough to not mind the guy roaming hands around her hips.
The song was hype and she liked the rhythm, with one hand she touched herself into mischievous moves while the other held a glass of champagne.
Memories..
Kagome went dancing with Inuyasha when they first started dating, but once they made the engagement official, everything changed.
He started to get busy, work was his first priority, he was late to their dates, which she didn't mind at all. She understood his goal, that's why she gave up on her dreams and started to act like a soon to be wife of the second son of Inu No Taisho, the heir of such an enamours power.
She remembered how her body got so hot for him, dancing together, not caring about the other people around them. His hands would cup her warm cheeks and kissed her worries away.
⁃ Um, dude , hands off, I'm married. she told with the same boring face. The damn pervert actually touched her butt and that was off his limits. The poor boy probably didn't know who he messed up with.
In 2 seconds he left her on the stage, looking scared like shit, and it took her few minutes to figure out why.
Miroku was 2 feet away, looking deep into her eyes, like he wanted to warn that guy to keep his hands off from what is not his. She is the women of his best friend and that's final.
Kagome wasn't sure why Miroku was so protective of her and her status, but What he actually did was to keep an eye on her , on behalf of his friend.
Kagome showed him the middle finger and he laughed.
Miroku was fun in general, and he really loved Sango, but his pervert side was something he showed only to her only. That didn't stop him from making his stupid sexual remarks which remained for all women he met.
⁃ This pervert old man is Miroku. she made a remark that made him and Sango punch her in the back while Rin laughed.
⁃ Kagome, how can you say that and scare this little girl ? Miroku asked with a bit of fake worry in his voice.
⁃ Hands off Miroku, she is Sesshomaru's. she said yawing already.
The office work made her asleep, the alcohol added to that effect, because her eyes started to get blurry.
Rin just made a little remark and reassured Miroku that it was ok and that his club looked awesome.
Before he could say another stupid thing, Sango took his hand and went to dance with him.
Kagome started to drink again, the bar tender served her very well, since most of the workers there knew who she was.
Another glass of champagne was done in less than 5 seconds and Rin was starting to worry about her well being.
She noticed how some time ago at the dinner, that Kagome looked so unhealthy, a total wreck, skinny and you could tell she was actually faking.
⁃ Rin, be the responsible one and take me home, you can go to Sesshomaru's room and bed him. That came out of nowhere and Rin nearly choked on her drink.
The girl just nodded and held onto Kagome's body until the car, and started the engine.
Kagome was quite silent at first, she really enjoyed tonight and made sure she would repeat this again. Not wanting to disturb Sango from dancing, she tested her to not worry that they left early.
Her head was spinning and Rin really obeyed what she asked her without saying much.
⁃ I'm sorry i put you to drive for me.
⁃ No, Kagome sama , don't worry, i understand.
She understood? Kagome doubted she did but who was she to judge.
⁃ i'm not usually like that. i had drink tonight you know...the last part she whispered more to herself.
⁃ i know, you deserve that. don't worry really.
deserve? did she deserve to drink? oh yes, she had to do that so she could forget the empty feeling she had, all the thoughts inside her head.
⁃ you might think i'm a bad wife. she said out, bumping her head over the car window.
⁃ no, i think you are amazing in fact.
Again she was surprised by what this little girl told her.
⁃ i...i try my best..she whispered again, the alcohol was speaking for itself.
⁃ you are the best. i wish one day to be like you, you really inspire me Kagome sama.
⁃ then don't do what i did tonight. she said that like an advice, not wanting to see Rin doing it, Sesshomaru would get very angry at that.
⁃ i can take care of myself don't worry.
she said when they reached the big residence and helped Kagome to walk to her room.
Once in bed, Rin tried to get off the dress for her, leaving Kagome half naked.
When she heard her little snoring, Rin knew it was the time to go to her boyfriend room.
One step far from the door knob, she eyeed a picture on the wall.
It showed Kagome with Inuyasha at their wedding, wide smilling and hugging each other.
Taking a glance at Kagome's sleeping body, then at the picture , Rin felt sad, why they weren't together?
