Ya know, I was just thinking about this fanfic and seeing how everyone is all grown up and all, and how un-adult-like they're acting. It's kind of boring if I make all of them boring old adults with their work and everything, but isn't it more fun if they act like teenagers?
Whoa, I haven't updated in a while! Here goes!
WAIT!! The hair color confusion. It is silver/white-ish.
The Perfect Brother In Law
Fishing (Part II)
"That stupid Inu-Yasha jerk white/silver haird guy! Ugh, I hate him!" Kagome was sitting next to Sango, her arms folded across her chest, her face showing an angry expression.
Sango nodded in agreement. She had no idea why Souta admired that guy, what's his name?, Inu-Yasha so much. Why couldn't Souta have liked the other guy, who had much more self control than Inu-Yasha did? Oh, well. Maybe he sees something that we don't see, Sango thought. She decided to side with Souta. After all, playing matchmaker was one of her hobbies.
"Oh, Kagome, he's not that bad! He's just a little rude." Sango said.
"Isn't that an understatement?!" Kagome shouted. In the background, Sango could see the fire get bigger. She shook her head.
"Never mind, Kagome." Boy, this mission was starting to get hopeless.
"Hey, um, Sango?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are we here again?"
*----------+---------+-----------+--------+------------*
In the Meantime, Souta was reuniting with his hero. "Hi, Inu-Yasha!"
"Hey, kid! How ya doing?" Inu-Yasha smiled at the boy.
"I'm okay. So, what do you think of my sister?" Right after the words had come out of his mouth. He heard a voice in his head. Never ask questions directly when playing matchmaker! Sango had told him. And Souta had just blantantly asked what he wanted to know. Souta began to self-chastise himself. He started to panic and wondered if he had blown his mission. Luckily, Inu-Yasha didn't get take the question the way Souta had thought he would. He didn't even remember who Kagome was.
"Your sister? I don't remember meeting her." Inu-Yasha looked puzzled. "But I assume that she's a nice person, seeing that you're such a cool kid!" Oh, Boy. Souta thought. My sister, a nice person? Souta began thinking of how Kagome always makes him do the chores and all the hard work while she just sits in front of her computer every day, just typing away. But then again, she had always taken care of him.
Inu-Yasha's next question shook Souta out of his thoughts. "Is she pretty?"
"Who?" Souta asked.
"Your sister." Souta paused for a moment. Yes. The perfect opportunity to get them to start liking each other. Don't blow it, Souta.
"Well, she has long black wavy hair, pretty eyes... she's very nice, like you thought... " Yea, right. "She graduated as valedictorian from her high school... um...."
"Oh, so she's really smart." Inu-Yasha commented.
"Yea!" Souta exclaimed. "She used to study a lot during junior high, but she could have done better. The last year of junior high, the well had overflooded, so we had to stay over at a relative's house for some time until it was fixed. During that time, my sister would have to help out a lot with the chores and laundry and stuff like that cuz my mom had to work longer hours cuz our relative's house is a lot farther from her work place than our home." (Whoa, Souta! Long run-on sentence there!)
"Um, okay." Inu-Yasha had no idea why Souta had just said all that stuff, but okay whatever. "Anyways, what are you doing here anyway?"
"I'm fishing with my sister and her friend. Over there!" Souta pointed to where Kagome and Sango were sitting.
"Whoa, wait a second. You mean THAT girl over THERE is YOUR sister?!"
"Yep! She takes care of me." Souta looked at Inu-Yasha and saw a very confused face. "What's wrong?"
"Didn't know the two of you were even related. Didn't pay attention to the little details. FEH!"
(AN: Yea, Inu-Yasha met Kagome before, but he didn't really care who she was back then and Kagome also said last chapter that Souta was her brother but he only heard the word "baka" in her sentence.)
Okay, some of you might be wondering where Sesshomaru is at this point of time during this point of day. Well, to summarized what happned to Sesshomaru: Kagome and Inu-Yasha were fighting and Sesshomaru had stepped in and stopped the fight. He had asked if Kagome was feeling okay. Kagome, still glaring at Inu-Yasha, told Sesshomaru that she was fine. Thanking him politely for his concern, she stomped off, her secretary following behind. Sesshomaru did not like seeing Kagome angry and had wanted to make her happy again, but looking at his watch, he realized that he had to go to a meeting with the city government.
"Yo, Inu!"
"Yeah?" Inu-Yasha looked at his brother.
"I have to go to an important meeting now. It's with the city."
"Wait a minute, Sesshomaru." Inu-Yasha started. "I invited you to go fishing today cuz I have to tell you something IMPORTANT. And it just so happened that some people interrupted our conversation."
"Sorry, Inu-Yasha, but it'll have to wait. We'll talk another time. Bye." Sesshomaru got into his car and drove off to work.
Inu-Yasha clenched his fist. "Sesshomaru! Even now you don't have time for you LITTLE half-brother!" He noticed that Souta was staring at him. "Sorry about that. My brother just doesn't seem to have enough time for me, not in the past, not now, not ever."
"It's okay. My sister doesn't always spend enough time with me either."
"Speaking of you stupid sister, what the heck is she doing with that fishing line?"
Indeed, what was Kagome doing with the fishing line? "Ugh, this stupid string. How the heck are you supposed to untangle it?" Kagome shouted (very loudly).
"Um, Kagome, I think YOU'RE tangled with it." Sango pointed out.
"Oh, Shoot." Kagome was bound up by fishing line. She had not been paying attention to what she was doing because she was still in a bad mood, and now, she didn't know how to get out of the mess she was in. Struggling against the line, she just got herself into a bigger mess. Then, as if by magic, the line loosened around her and fell to the ground. Looking to her right, she saw Inu-Yasha there, cutting the line up. (Hey, he has a sharp knife.)
"Hey, you're cutting up my line!"
"It's your fault for getting tangled in it! You're so pathetic!" He finished cutting Kagome loose.
"Me? Pathetic? I'll bet you I can catch a bigger fish than you! I've been fishing ever since I was little!"
"Hm... is this a bet? What are you betting?"
"A bet? What?"
"You said, 'I'll bet you I can catch a bigger fish than you!'. What are you going to bet?"
"Hey, Kagome," Sango said. "Why don't you guys just stop arguing?"
"No! I'm going to prove this guy wrong!" Kagome had a fierce determination. "If I win, you have to pay me $1500. If I lose, I'll pay you $1500."
"Why $1500?"
"I dunno. Cuz it's a cool number."
"Contest only lasts till noon. At noon, we'll compare fish. Sound good?"
"Yea, sure!" Kagome replaced her cut up line.
"Better start writing that check." Inu-Yasha said. He went back to where he was before and got ready to fish.
"Bleh! What the heck are you talking about?! I'm the better fisher!" Kagome hooked her bait and waited for the fish.
"Geez, so competitive." Sango said. "Are you sure you want to do this, Kagome? $1500 is quite a bit of money."
"So? I'm gonna so prove him wrong!"
Geez, it's gonna be hard getting those two together. Sango looked around and saw Souta, who was also fishing. She went up to Souta. "Ya know, it's gonna be pretty hard getting them together." she told Kagome's little brother.
"Yea, but I know they're perfect for each other. I can just FEEL it." Souta replied.
"Well, I'm gonna help you. But if they don't get together, don't be suprised." Then something hit Sango. "Why are you fishing? The competition is only between your sister and Inu-Yasha."
"I love to fish. It's so much fun!"
"I have no idea why you think it's fun. Isn't it boring?"
"No."
"..."
"What?"
"Nothing."
-------------+------------------+--------------+-------------------
At noon, Kagome and Inu-Yasha both had some pretty nice fish caught. They brought them to be weighed.
"Hah! My fish is 9.5346 pounds!" Kagome shouted. "Bet you can't top that!"
"Too bad for you. Mine weighs 9.95475 pounds! Beat ya! This just proves that I'm the better fisherman." Inu-Yasha held his fish up and smiled proudly.
"NOOO!!!!"
"I told you you shouldn't have bet." Sango said to her best friend/boss.
"Hey, SIS!" Souta shouted. I caught a big one! It weighs 18 pounds!" Inu-Yasha and Kagome's mouths dropped when they looked at the fish Souta caught. It made theirs look like minnows.
"What's wrong?" Souta asked. The two adults shook their heads.
"So," Inu-Yasha began. "Where's my check?"
"Oh, right." Kagome searched her purse (why did she bring a purse when she's fishing?). First, the seach was slow, then it became frantic.
"Is something wrong?" Inu-Yasha asked.
"Sorry, I left my checkbook at home. You can come to my office on Monday and collect your money. Sound good?"
"Your office? Where do you work?"
"At MICRO-SHIKON. I'm the Finance manager."
"Oh, so that's the case. Could you get me a job at MICRO-SHIKON? I'm in a search of a job right now. Could you do that instead of giving me the money?"
"Yea, Kagome! Give Inu-Yasha a job!" Sango said. "After all, one of the guys just moved to Antartica!"
"But we don't know if he is even qualified!" Kagome argued.
"Come on, Sis! Isn't that better than giving away our money?" Souta said.
"Why don't you listen to your secretary and brother?" Inu-Yasha suggested.
"No!" Kagome angrily shouted. "I'd rather give you the money! Come pick up the check next Monday! Byebye!" Kagome stomped off for the second time, except this time, towards the car.
"Oh, well." Inu-Yasha sighed. "See ya around, Souta! You're so much cooler than your older sister. Later!" Inu-Yasha loaded his car with the fishing stuff and left.
-----------+------------------------+------------------
On the way home, Souta and Sango asked why Kagome would rather pay him than give him a job.
"Two reasons." Kagome said. "First of all, I don't even want to SEE his face at work! Secondly, if I did give him the job, he would earn a lot more money than just $1500 and I'm not gonna let him do THAT!"
----------+----------------------+-------------------
That night, Souta gave Sango a call.
"What are we going to do?" He asked his senior in matchmaking.
"Hm..." Sango thought about it. "This is a tough case. It's time to raise the notch a bit. Meet me tomorrow really early. We're gonna go back to the Fishing place. I have an idea."
"Will it work?"
"Trust me. I think it will."
Kagome was getting ready to go take an evening shower when the phone rang for her. "Hello?" she said into the phone.
"Good evening. Is this Kagome Higurashi?"
"Yes this is. Who's calling?"
"This is Sesshomaru Takashi."
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, what is the news that Inu-Yasha really needs to tell Sesshomaru? Sango has devised another plan, but WILL it WORK out? And what is Sesshomaru planning on doing about Kagome? Why did he call her? Why is Inu-Yasha in search of a job anyway? Read next time and find out. Oh, and Please...

If the above turns out distorted, it says, "REVIEW!" I was having fun playing around with my computer and making words and stuff. But please do read and review. My goal is at least 40 reviews before I release another chapter. I might change my mind, but pleaz! review! comments mean a lot, they tell me what I should keep and what I should change. So... yeah...
Whoa I just realized that this chapter was longer than my other ones. Weird...
