~Chapter 2: Dishonesty and Flashbacks of the Past~
Kagome woke up at the sound of the birds chirping nearby out her window. The sun illuminated the room with its bright rays, revealing its morning sky. Kagome mumbled a few words, feeling so exhausted from last night. She got up and spread her arms out, letting a big yawn escape from her mouth.
A Saturday morning it was, the day before it was time to appear on the big show. Kagome grinned evilly as she walked out of her room, opposite of InuYasha's. She stood in front of his door which was slightly opened, and sighed. Then she turned away and opened another door that revealed to be the bathroom. She stepped into the small compartment and closed the door after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome felt fresh and squeaky cleaned. Her wavy hair blow-dried and combed down, leaving it to flow freely down her shoulders. Wearing a blue tank top with a light blue denim jeans, she walked out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen.
Taking out the needed materials and ingredients, Kagome started frying eggs and toasted some bread. When it was all done, she placed the food onto her plate and poured in a glass of orange juice.
She began to hear footsteps coming closer to her. She turned her head to see InuYasha walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge. Kagome grabbed her food and attempted to walk out the kitchen, but InuYasha spoke out, "I thought I smelt something cooking," InuYasha glanced up from the fridge to Kagome. "I see that you made breakfast, so where's mine?"
Kagome glared at him. 'Who the hell does he think I am? Do I look like a fucking maid to him?' "Does it look like I made your breakfast?" She raised her plate in view. "No I did not, so go make your own." Kagome added, and walked out to the living room. It surprised InuYasha to hear her speak to him that way.
Kagome sat down on the couch, and started munching on her food. It felt good to tell it right to his face.
Moments later, Kagome felt somebody sit next to her. She didn't turn to look at him but continued eating. Kagome could sense InuYasha staring at her and was getting a little annoyed by it. "Is there something you want?" She asked, coldly. InuYasha didn't respond, but ignored her question and flicked on the TV.
InuYasha flipped several channels until he stopped it on a sports channel. Kagome placed her plate down on the table, after eating the last bite of her toasted sandwich. She stretched her arms out, feeling relieved that she wasn't hungry anymore.
Kagome glared at the TV, hated what was playing. She never did like to watch football but InuYasha loved it. She snatched the remote from his hand and turned it to a soap opera.
"Hey! I was watching that!" InuYasha whined.
Kagome rolled her eyes; and made a look on her face that read 'she didn't give a damn'.
"Aww, poor baby!" Kagome whined, mockingly.
InuYasha glared at Kagome, then turned his attention back to the TV.
"Why are you acting like a stubborn bitch today? What did I do to you?" InuYasha asked, not caring what her reaction would be.
Kagome's jaw dropped in shock and the remote slipped away from her hand 'Did he just call me a bitch?' Kagome thought, blankly.
"Anyway, I'm going over to Miroku's house in an hour. We're going to, uh, help his dad fix his motorcycle, the Harley." InuYasha explained. He scratched his nose, trying to ignore the fact that Kagome was angry with him.
Kagome calmed herself, resisting the urge to smack InuYasha right in the face. She reminded herself that she had upcoming plans for him and wasn't going to act as the villain here.
"Oh, really. Since you like to help and WORK all the time, I'm coming with you. In fact, I'm assisting to help you guys fix the Harley, if you don't mind. This should be so much fun!" Kagome said excitingly, placating a fake happy look on her face.
InuYasha looked at Kagome as if she was some kind maniac. The sudden change of emotion was weird enough for him. "Yes I do mind! There's a lot to fix and besides, you're going to get in the way. No offence but, we don't need a lady helping us do a man's work." InuYasha pleaded, getting up from his sitting position and walking off into his room.
'Yeah right, you lying jerk!' Kagome thought to herself. She wasn't going to let him off that easily. Remembering the message she heard last night made her just want leave InuYasha and not ever wanting to see him again. But her undying love for him made her just want to cry and forget about what happened.
A tear ran down her cheek, caressing her soft, pale skin. If InuYasha was cheating, what did she do to make him unfaithfully do that to her? And what did the other girl have that Kagome didn't have? Does he even love her anymore? Kagome was going to find out sooner or later, and hopefully InuYasha will tell the truth.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome walked into a large property with her hands crossed, as she appeared in front of a large white house. She puffed, thinking about the previous argument with InuYasha, if she should come along or not. Tired of hearing his girlfriend's retorts, he gave up with no other choice but to take Kagome with him.
She looked behind her to see InuYasha still in his car, now talking on what looked like his cell phone. But whom is he talking to?
Kagome pressed the doorbell a couple of times and waited. Suddenly, the door flew open; revealing a boy wearing dark blue baggy jeans and a baggy black shirt that said in white prints 'Play Boy'. The boy's short dark hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, revealing his small golden-earrings on both of his ears.
Miroku smiled when he saw Kagome standing in front of him. "My girlfriend's lovely and beautiful companion came to see if I was in good condition for this Saturday noon? Or did you come to torture the hell out of me today. Which one is it?" He asked sweetly.
Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled back. "Well Miroku, the second guess sounds more reasonable, don't you think? No, I just came here with InuYasha because he told me that you guys were going to fix your dad's Harley or something. So I came along to help. Is that okay with you?" Kagome asked, glancing back to still see InuYasha in his car.
Miroku looked over to where Kagome was focusing her attention. He saw InuYasha in his red, Mercedes Benz sports car, parked along the sidewalk in front of the house.
"Well, um, I don't have any problems with you volunteering. But did he actually tell you that we're fixing my father's bike today?" Miroku asked, with a confused expression on his face.
Kagome nodded, still glancing back. "I'm curious to know why because we fixed it two weeks ago. The bike is working fine now and might I add, brilliantly. My father just rode it out three hours ago, probably trying to attract ladies along the way." Miroku explained while rubbing his chin, wondering what else his dad was intended to do.
"What!! Two weeks ago! But he told me you needed help today." Kagome yelled. Miroku slowly shook his head sideways.
Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see whose it was. Yes of course, it was that egotistical boyfriend of hers, InuYasha. "What up, Miroku. How's it going?" InuYasha greeted, coolly. Kagome looked away, not wanted to see her so-called boyfriend's face.
"Its been good, nothing much...." Miroku responded. And so, Miroku and InuYasha began chatting about their previous day events.
Kagome snuck her left hand in InuYasha's black jeans pocket and took out something. InuYasha looked down to see what Kagome took out, until he realized she grabbed his car keys. Before he could ask why, Kagome fled to his car and entered into the driver's seat.
InuYasha could hear the car start, and began running towards it, to stop the mad Kagome. The car loudly screeched leaving skid marks behind it, as she quickly fled down the road.
"Kagome, wait!!! Where are you taking my car!!!.... Kagome!!!" InuYasha called after her, as he continued running. InuYasha slowed down, knowing it was too late to stop her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hours later, night began to show visibly. Near the busy streets of Tokyo, there was huge property with a mansion occupying it. In the mansion, was a man sitting in his dining area, typing furiously on his laptop.
The chandeliers hung high above him, with its bright light showering the large room. The room was designed to look like a royalty's dining area. Candles had lain stationary on the huge, long, burgundy table he sat beside in.
Sesshomaru had less work to do today. He was almost done typing up his speech for the upcoming business convention, for top businessmen all over the world. Although he was known to be one of the fewest young men to own a very successful company, having time for himself and his wife was so rare these days.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(~FlashBack~)
Seven years ago, Sesshomaru's father owned a large company known as the Tagaisho Corporation. His skills of determination and hard work led his business to grow rapidly in a short period of time. He hired about five hundred high-skilled workers, to become employees for his new business. Paparazzi and reporters soon surrounded the building, waiting for the man's appearance to show up. They would ask him questions about his company and his future plans for it. This continued on day after day, until he decided to hire security guards to protect him from them.
His company also caused his two only sons to become famous throughout the world. In high school, the paparazzi would hide behind the bushes, taking rapid pictures of them.
They were the most popular kids in their school, and their classmates would surround them wherever they go. Sixteen year-old InuYasha and eighteen year-old Sesshomaru liked their popularity life and enjoyed it as others would.
Getting girls was no problem for the two half brothers. Their gorgeous looks were so magnetizing to the eye, the ladies would scream or faint if they were touched by one of them (A/N: Don't ask.).
Their father later enrolled them in one of the best colleges. InuYasha majored in engineering, since he loved to fix things that didn't work perfectly. His older brother Sesshomaru was so interested in business, he majored in business administration.
In Ukiazu College, was where InuYasha met Miroku because of their interest in engineering and soon became best friends. For Sesshomaru, he met a woman that was also majoring in business and later fell in love with her.
One day, the boys went to visit their father at his mansion. When they arrived, they saw five ambulances and three police vehicles parked along the mansion. They ran into the house and went towards his father's bedroom, where the sulking maids and butlers told them to go. They stopped in front of their father's room, as they saw paramedics rushing to use A.E.D (A/N: Stands for Automatic Electronic Defibrillator - The electronic simulator paramedics use for jumping up somebody's heart or something.)
InuYasha ran in and pushed several paramedics away as he watched his father being treated. His glistened eyes were so saddened at the sight of his father. His father's slumbered figure jolted up each time the electronic device was placed against his chest.
Sesshomaru had displayed no emotion as he watched the whole scene from the doorway.
After several more tries, the paramedics shook their heads, showing no hope for the man's survival. "Mr.Tagaisho is dead." One of them said, along with a sigh.
~After college~
Taking over the Tagaisho Company due to his father's Will, Sesshomaru had proposed and later married the woman he fell in love with.
After his father's death, InuYasha denied his father's Will to become Co-boss of Tagaisho Company. The Company reminded him of his father and made him want to grieve longer. So InuYasha left the mansion, taking no possessions or money his father had left for him in case of his demise.
InuYasha went to live with Miroku, which Miroku accepted without hesitation. Miroku later introduced his new girlfriend and her close friend, Kagome. One night, Miroku had invited them for dinner at his house.
They all sat in a huge, beautiful glass dinner table, with steaming foods lined in the center. Miroku proposed a toast with his Wineglass filled with red wine, and the others imitated him with their own.
InuYasha took a sip of his wine and looked at the girl across from him. There was something about her that couldn't allow him to break off his gaze.
Kagome smiled nervously as she looked up from her plate to see InuYasha intensely gazing at her. She too locked eyes with his and went on for what seemed like eternity.
From then on, InuYasha and Kagome got together and soon bought an apartment in which they now live in. (A/N: So, it was a Happy-ever-after story…..Not!!)
(~End of Flashback~)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru closed his laptop and gathered the piles of paper lying on the table. He stood up and walked into another room, where he laid his paper works in a file compartment.
He looked at his time '8:49' and knew that he had to get ready and surprise his wife with a special dinner tonight. He had already made reservations at the 'Shikon Noh Tama', one of the riches restaurants in Japan. The last time he took his wife out to dinner was four months ago, when he told one of his associates to take over for one day.
He past through the corridors and attempted to step in his elevator, but he heard a faint voice call out to him. He turned to see one of his butlers quickly walking towards him from the other end of the hall. The short, old man fidgeted and bowed down when he stood in front him.
"Master Sesshomaru, please excuse me for my interruption, but your wife has written a note for you. She seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere, so she requested me to give this to you." The butler handed him a small envelope, which Sesshomaru took without hesitation.
The butler looked at his master's emotionless face, who opened the envelope and took out the note. He began to read it:
'Sesshomaru, I received an emergency phone call from a close friend of mine, who told me she was sickly. I informed her that I would come visit at her apartment and also bring one of our hired doctors to treat her if necessary. I'm sure you are pretty busy to have any plans for us tonight, so I wrote this note to let you know where I have gone. I should be coming back around midnight or so, but I will call to let you know I'm all right. See you soon.'
Sesshomaru crumpled up the note with one hand. The butler could see a glint of anger in Sesshomaru's cold, golden eyes, but his face remained emotionless. "Myoga, I want you to call the 'Shikon Noh Tama' restaurant and cancel the reservations I made for us."
Myoga bowed, "Yes Master Sesshomaru, I will do that right away."
"Before you leave, did you see my wife bring one of the doctors with her by any chance?" Sesshomaru asked curiously.
"N-no, Master Sesshomaru, I just saw her run to the car and drive off." Myoga responded, getting a little nervous by the second.
Sesshomaru stepped into his elevator and waved his hands, signifying the butler to leave him. Myoga bowed once again and walked off to do his duties.
Closing its door after him, the elevator slowly accelerated up. Sesshomaru sighed, placing his hands through his long, white hair and rubbing his temples.
'When I have little time to spend with my wife and take her out to dinner, she just happens to run off at that exact moment to aid her friend. But I'm a little aware of why she told me she's bringing a doctor along, when Myoga told me she didn't. And who is this close friend of hers that she always go to?' Sesshomaru thought to himself.
The elevator suddenly slid open and he stepped out, then walked past a few doors down the hall. He stopped in front of a large double-door room and opened it, stepping in and shutting the door behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"See you later Miroku and thanks for the ride back!" InuYasha called out, getting out of Miroku's car, as Miroku pulled up in front of his building. Miroku gave him a slight good-bye wave with his hands and drove off.
InuYasha walked towards the building, but stop when he heard Kagome's voice out of nowhere. "I've been waiting here for you for quite some time. Why hasn't Miroku dropped you off earlier?" InuYasha turned to see Kagome in his car, parked near the building.
"How long have you been out here?" InuYasha asked, as he began walking toward the car's driver side, where Kagome talked through its open window.
"You haven't answered my question. Why the HELL did it take you so long to be dropped off!!!?" Kagome raised her voice, getting angry.
"That's your problem so don't get mad at me. Miroku was busy doing other things and was Kind enough to drop me off! Tell me why'd you run and take off with my car in the first place?"
"Get in the car." Kagome said, coldly. She twisted the ignition with the key and the car started.
"Feh. Why? " InuYasha asked, crossing his arms.
"I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Now get in the car!!!"
Startled by Kagome's yell, he hastily walked to the passenger side and opened the car door. He hesitated before entering.
"Lets say we're taking a little trip." Kagome grinned, as she hit the pedal and the car quickly roamed down the road.
A woman watched as the couple's car left out of sight. She started her SUV (Jeep) as well, and began driving slowly away from the apartment. 'I guess our plans tonight was interrupted by this girl of his. Maybe next time.' The woman thought, as she drove off into the dark night.
