This one is longer for the people that say my chapters are too short... (in
which they are) heck, I would too..... On with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that day Kagome was released from the hospital, she had suffered from a small concussion, and minor bruises; nothing too serious. Her mother drove her home in silence; Kagome's mind still reeled with questions. As they pulled into the driveway she thought to pose a question. 'I haven't talked about Inu-Yasha and the others since the day he died...I wonder if my mom will remember him' "Hey mom? Um, do you remember Inu-Yasha?"
"No, I'm afraid not; is he a friend of yours?" The woman saw the dejected countenance her daughter acquired at this answer.
"Yes, a dear, dear friend...." 'More then a friend, well almost' she added to herself sadly.
"Would you like to talk over some coffee?"
"Yes, I would like that a lot" With that they got out of the car, and entered the house to have a looong talk. ************************************************************************
The Inu-Yasha look-a-like paced with his cell phone pressed against his ear, talking furiously into it. "Look Callaii, I am not going to be home 'till after 10 ...." Pause "Yes I do enjoy your company" Smirk "No, I will not be there tonight, you will have to keep yourself warm for once!" Click. He rubbed his eyes, 'oh she will have to go soon'.....
Other side of the conversation:
"Konte! (Kohn-teh) Why won't you have dinner with me? Then later we can snuggle" She stated in a seductive way. Pause "Don't you enjoy my company?" Pause "Then come and be with me! Who will keep me warm and safe at night? Konte? KONTE??!!!! Why that self-absorbed workaholic!"
************************************************************************
"Everything was in slow motion, I saw him there, and the rest of the world was still... It was just me and him. He was really hurt, the many cuts that scattered across his body was nothing to the gash that was probably three inches deep, three inches wide and over a foot long; it stretched from his right shoulder to the left of his waist." She paused looking down. Trying to hold back tears, "He told me..... He told me he would always be with me, look out for me, I just wish he...." she trailed off, and after a moment said, "The funeral was held the next day and I couldn't stand it, everything was telling me 'he is gone, and he won't come back' I ran away. I ran from my friends, from family, from memories...." "Then a few days ago, before the accident I couldn't run anymore I thought about everything I had held back for so long, I brought the memories of my friends out of the darkest corners of my mind. I thought and thought, but badly enough, while I was driving.... and of course you know this part..... But the odd thing is, the man I hit... He looks JUST like Inu-Yasha; his eyes are golden still and hair long, but not the silver it was before.... You said that he is my cousin Rin's husband's brother?"
Her mother had been silent, taking everything in, she believed her daughter, but it was still a lot to absorb. "Yes, he is Sessh's half brother... His name is Konte.... But I do not see how this could be possible, for Sesshoumaru was a demon, and as you said demons do not die by old age, how would Konte be related to him?"
"I'm not sure, this is so frustrating!"
"I know Rin was adopted by my sister, but no one can really remember when or how, she kind of became part of the family"
"This just gets odder and odder...."
************************************************************************
Konte got to his apartment early, only to find it empty, 'figures, Queen La'Whore is probably out with her guy 'friends'; Feh!' He flopped down on the couch, and turned on the television. (Ha, Inu-Yasha flopped...oops did I give something away, Baka Kitara!) "No," *flip* "no, GRR there's nothing on!" He decided that a night on the town might be fun, he wasn't a businessman ALL the time.... Well, this was business too... (lol)
************************************************************************
"I don't know Hojo, I JUST got back home...."
"Oh! It will be good for you!" He remarked.
Giving in "Where would we be going again?"
"The new nightclub that opened on 40th."
"Alright...." She was so excited, can't you tell?
"Good. Pick you up at 10." Click!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the club
Konte sat at the bar, very bored. He had denied 4 juvenile girls already, he wondered why they were even aloud in here! Turning around, drink in hand, he saw a lovely woman walk in, 'Ah, too bad, she's with someone....' Looking harder he noticed who she was. 'Great...' With a swift moment he popped the shot, and set the glass upside down on the counter. He moved through the franticly dancing people, with an ease that comes from experience. He took a seat behind the couple, rudely listening in on their conversation...
"I don't know Hojo, maybe I should just go home." Kagome said exasperated. She only had one thought on her mind, and didn't want it to get bumped out of the way by anyone, especially Hojo......
"We just got here, lets go out on the floor, you like this song right?" He reached over and grabbed Kagome's hand, and pulled, probably harder then he meant to because Kagome let out a squeak of surprise.
"Hojo, stop! I want to go home!"
"Kagome, right?" Konte turned and held his hand out to her over his left shoulder....
Kagome just sat there, looking into his golden eyes..... Realizing that she was starring she quickly answered "ye-YES, I am Kagome, the one who crashed into you" she spat out nervously.
"I noticed. And who is this?" Gesturing to Hojo (*cough cough*) with his free hand. (Kagome was still holding his hand lol) Hojo saw this and glared at Konte (It is SO Darn hard to not say Inu-Yasha!!!!!!) Kagome looked down, where Hojo kept glancing at.... A dark blush cascaded over her face, even in the dimly lit club; you could see its crimson tone. Kagome let go of his hand quickly, muttered her apologies, and turned away; the blush still present. "I'll be right back" she stated and rushed off to the bathroom; leaving Hojo, and Konte to.... chat.....
************************************************************************ Five years earlier
"You know he wasn't supposed to die, this changes everything"
"This changes nothing! It can be fixed... Time can be altered, memories forgotten... We will have it soon enough, you will see."
"Will they allow you?"
"They cannot refuse me!" The other said with a smirk..... It was all piecing together...
