"Irasshaimase!"
The waitress called happily, putting them in their favourite booth. Rin was having a quick talk with her friend Mika, ordering drinks for them as she did so. Inuyasha and Seshoumaru talked about where they thought Kagome was found, since Kagome's meowing sound was not helping their questions.
"Osaka, no doubt. The best rare demons are found there. But to think Kimura had the brains to go over there and find her…"
Seshoumaru mused to himself, Inuyasha growling with his arms crossed, as Kagome played with his napkin,
"Kimura has Shiaku, that bastard would have hacked into programs too… that probably explains their little holiday."
Inuyasha grumbled, Kagome yipping when Inuyasha took the napkin away, acting on instincts and following it, lunging for the napkin and ending up head butting Inuyasha.
Inuyasha frowned down at her, Kagome meowing in discomfort while she flopped into his lap, the napkin falling onto her face. Plucking the napkin out of her face, Inuyasha pulled her into a more snug position, patting her head, Kagome grumbling to herself. Rin came back with a tray of drinks, putting a cappuccino in front of Inuyasha and Seshoumaru, and one for herself.
"Kagome Mikas' going to bring you some hot chocolate in a bowl, is that okay?"
Kagome nodded, mewling when Inuyasha dipped a claw into his cup and offered it to her. When she tasted it, she made a disgusted sound, trying to take the taste out of her mouth as Inuyasha and Rin laughed at her cute behaviour.
Seshoumaru was busy typing away at a mini laptop, being able to fold it into an envelope size, and unfolding it into a normal laptop size, but very thin.
"They're competing in Naira tomorrow."
He stated, Inuyasha thinking about it.
"Are we taking Kagome with us? They might try taking her back."
Seshoumaru eyed Kagome who'd stilled.
"Does she want to?"
Rin frowned, taking Kagome from Inuyasha and cuddling her tightly, Kagome giving a surprised meow.
"Why should she? She should stay with us and fight with us! We can erase her profile from them and put it in ours can't we?"
She whined, Kagome meowing up at her new friend. She liked the idea. Inuyasha took a sip at his coffee, looking to Seshoumaru as he sighed, scratching his head. Mika came a few seconds later with Kagome's hot chocolate, who leaped out of Rin's arms and started lapping at the warm drink happily.
Rin watched her as if she'd snatch her if Kagome tried to run off.
"Well if it isn't my little Kagome."
They all looked up to find the whole of Tsuki standing by their table, Kagome nearly choking when Rin actually did snatch the poor kitten off the table and backing up against Inuyasha.
Seshoumaru stayed calm but had a warning glare as Kimura stood with a smirk on his face. Kouran and Sanami were close to his sides; giving Kagome death glares as the kitten gulped. Inuyasha had a hand going into his jacket, Kimura knowing he was ready to reach for his gun.
Then his beetle eyes landed on Kagome, who was trying to kick out of Rin's arms. Rin was worried Kagome was wanting to go back to them, holding on tighter. Kagome finally had enough of having her tummy squizzed so tightly and meowed loudly, Rin accidentally letting her grip loosen and Kagome took the opportunity to leap out, landing on the table and walking up to Seshoumaru. Leaping up onto his shoulder, she made growling and hissing sounds towards Kimura.
Kimura raised an eyebrow, cracking his knuckles in a warning manner.
"Remember Kagome I picked you off that greasy alley, and you owe me for that. Don't you even think about betraying me."
Seshoumaru knew Kagome was frightened by his menacing voice, her claws clenching his shirt and unclenching. His absently patted Kagome, her body jumping at the contact. Then Seshoumaru faced Kimura with his own death glare.
"You said you found her in an alley. Why?"
"She was a whore."
Kagome's loud shriek of protest made Seshoumaru's ears ring and he winced, looking to Kagome. Kimura smirked at her.
"What, have you forgotten how you paid me, dear Kagome? Your body wasn't quite the adult, but it was good enough."
He laughed cruelly, Rin and Inuyasha's wide eyes turning to her, Seshoumaru's face hardening as he eyed her too. Kagome cringed, shaking her head hastily and protesting wildly. Seshoumaru could see Inuyasha's disappointment, and nearly snarled at her. But another idea came up and he snorted calmly.
"Then, Kagome will be having more tests than we thought."
Kagome's mouth fell open, and made another mad objection with loud growls. But Seshoumaru ignored her, standing up. Rin and Inuyasha followed suit, still not looking too happy with Kagome. Mika came along with her hands on her hips, glaring up at Kimura who raised an eyebrow in return.
"Will you please get the hell out of here because you're annoying my customers."
Kimura snorted, winking down at Kagome still pissed off on Seshoumaru's shoulder.
"I'll see you soon, Kagome."
With that Kimura lead them all out, all of them throwing back dirty looks. Seshoumaru sighed, and gave Mika a ten-dollar note.
"Keep the change, we've got a problem to fix."
Mika winked, but didn't let him leave until another waitress came up with a bag, and Mika gave it to Seshoumaru.
"Eight brownies, three caps. And another hot chocolate for the kitty."
Mika gave Kagome a pat, although she only had a frowning meow in response. Mika smiled.
"Don't worry, these guys aren't as cruel and stupid as Tsuki are. But behave, won't you?"
Kagome made a whinny sound, but nuzzled her hand anyway, Seshoumaru rolling his eyes.
"Mika, you are always too nice, to pups especially."
Mika thwacked Seshoumaru on the head this time, getting an annoyed growl from him too.
"You were a pup too you know."
With that she left to serve a new customer, and Rin and Inuyasha lead them out, while Seshoumaru picked Kagome off his shoulder and dropped her on his brother's head. Kagome's claws came out, instinctively gripping his skull making him grunt in annoyance, and snatch her off his head.
He brought her down to eye level, looking her in the eye, Kagome freezing and gulping.
"Did you or didn't you rut with Kimura?"
Kagome shook her head slowly, some people looking at him weird for talking to a small cat. Inuyasha glared at her, making her meow uncomfortably.
"If your test results come up negative, I'm gonna throw you back in his face. Understood?"
She nodded, but yelped when he suddenly dropped her. She growled to herself and hurriedly trotted behind them, cursing and making little mutters although they only sounded like pissed off meows.
****************
"Right! I think we got enough clothes for Kagome, let's go stop at a café or something. I think us men need a little rest from your clothes shopping illness, Rin."
Seshoumaru sighed, slumping into a booth at a nearby café in the large shopping mall. Inuyasha followed suit while Rin huffed at the boys, crossing her arms and glaring at the two.
"Hello, I haven't bought her pyjamas yet! And it's only in the store next door- Oh! Hikaru!"
Rin whipped around and ran off towards the store next door to find her friend screeching and hugging Rin. Inuyasha opened a tired eye down towards the spine of the table they were sitting at and found a slumped Kagome sitting in an uncat-like position, looking all depressed and upset. Seshoumaru followed his gaze and sighed; it was about time they let her off the hook.
"Kagome, you can sit up here you know."
Inuyasha sighed, patting the space next to him. Kagome didn't response in any way, except for turning her back on him. Her shoulders, as tiny as they were, slumped a little more than they were a few seconds ago, making Inuyasha grumble. She yelped for about the fifth time that day when he lifted her up onto the seat.
When she looked up at him he frowned at the sad look.
"You can't blame us, you could be having his pup."
Kagome's eyes widened and she started a massive fit, snarling and furiously hissing, Inuyasha sweat dropping and grabbed her and giving her a bit of a shake to quieten her down. She glared at him once she stilled, and put her nose in the air in an offended fashion, Seshoumaru sweat dropping along with his brother.
"I think she's not too happy with us."
Inuyasha mumbled, Kagome going at him with her claws. Seshoumaru offered one of the chocolate brownies to her, and she stopped her swiping, eyeing the delicious chocolate and wagged her tail, Seshoumaru grinning.
"Have you ever heard that chocolate is bad for kitties?"
Kagome whined, nipping at his fingers, Seshoumaru tsk tsking as Inuyasha wagged a waitress down and ordered some lunch for them, since it was already 3:30.
"After those tests. That is if they come out positive."
Kagome purred and nodded, still starring at the brownie as he put it away in their bag. Inuyasha started petting Kagome as she remembered how nice it felt to be petted by him, purring a little. Rin came a few minutes later with a few extra bags, explaining that Hikaru, her friend, had given her free pyjamas since she was now working there.
"Hikaru? Is her mother a fan or something?"
Inuyasha asked, Rin nodding.
"Yeah, apparently her mother has met Utada Hikaru before and she wanted to name her daughter after her. But Hikaru-chan is a great singer too!"
And she went on, as Kagome wrinkled her nose at smelling delicious pancakes. As soon as the waitress set them down, Kagome made a pout when she only found three plates. And a bowl of water.
Rin, Seshoumaru and Inuyasha started to talk about the festival coming up that night, taking bites out of their pancakes as Kagome just sat in Inuyasha's lap patiently.
"Is everyone going? I want to wear my mother's yukata!"
She giggled, Seshoumaru smiling and wrapping an arm around her waist, hugging her close. When he found Kagome looking all depressed again, he placed his fork back on his plate and got the waitress again.
"Can we take the rest for take away? We're going to… go see a movie and it's going to start in about ten minutes."
The waitress smiled and nodded, taking their plates away quickly to put them in takeaway containers. Inuyasha made an annoyed sound, still munching on a piece of pancake.
"Why did you do that for?"
Seshoumaru pointed down at his lap, Inuyasha frowning and patting Kagome, who made a dull purr.
"I forgot that she wasn't to eat before taking that blood test. At least two hours."
Kagome yawned and gave Inuyasha a lazy eye.
"Alright, let's go."
