The Story of Two
Chapter Four
Problems Arise
Kagome opened her eyes only to find herself in the arms of a certain white- haired someone. Then a sudden realization dawned on her. She had spent the night at Inuyasha's.
She had spent the night with Inuyasha. At HIS house, in his BEDROOM.
Kagome looked down to see if she had her clothes on. Yep she still had them on; she sat up and looked around. Yep she was definitely in HIS room. Seeing his peaceful face, Kagome quietly slipped out of bed and went in the bathroom to fix up.
Quietly as possibly she splashed the cool water on her face and then looked in the mirror. She had remembered what she had done last night. They were in the living room talking and then he had kissed her. Then they had dinner and then they had.They had talked about everything. Well almost everything.
She turned the knob off to stop the water and dried her face with a small towel that lay next to the sink. It smelled of him. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly and set the towel down.
Kagome headed out of the bathroom and went into the bedroom and grabbed her shoes that were splayed out on the ground next to the bed. She looked at the sleeping figure one last time and headed out the door.
Kagome closed her eyes as she sat in the back of the taxi cab thinking. She had already given her heart away once, was this a chance she should take? When the cab had stopped she paid the driver and climbed out of the car.
Staring at her complex she sighed. Wondering if everyone else's love life was just as complicated. Kagome knocked on the door. There was no answer. She pulled out her key and put it in the keyhole and turned. The lock unlocked and stepped inside. No one was home. 'How weird' she thought. She closed the door and set her stuff on the table near by and headed into the kitchen.
Finding what she was looking for she ripped the note off the fridge. It was just a reminder for Kagome to pick up the girls clothes at the cleaners. And that Suki and Ayumi were going on a major shopping spree and wouldn't be home for most of the day.
Kagome set the note down and looked outside of the kitchen window. There was one thing that was troubling her. What about him.
Sango sat behind the sewing machine humming away happily. It had been awhile since she was this happy. Perhaps it had been way too long but how could she deny the fact that she liked him. It seemed like a fairytale out of a book. It seemed like a subliminal bliss that could never end.
Looking at sketch she had design she carefully placed the material under the needle and gently tapped the pedal to let the needle do the stitching.
While watching the material go through the needle Sango wondered about Kagome. Over the past few days it had seemed as if she wasn't really there. In fact she hadn't seen her last night.
But that wasn't unusual. After all Kagome had mentioned she was working on a charity fund. Maybe that was it. Sango shook her head clearing any gloomy thoughts that were trying to take over. Instead she looked at the fabric and continued to work on it when.
Sango's purse shrilled out a high pitch tune. Actually it was her cell phone, Sango pulled the phone out of the purse and flipped the top and answered.
"Hello?"
"Well hi to you to Sango."
"I thought it was you. So how are things going?"
"Great and you?"
"So and so. The day is starting out a little slower than I expected."
"Really? Care to explain why you sound so happy?"
"Like you don't know Kagome!"
"Hmm. It doesn't have to do with a certain purple-eyed club owner man does it now?"
"How did you know? Have you been stalking me?" Sango joked
"On darn it you found out my secret. Back to plan b for me." Kagome joked along.
"So where were you last night?"
Kagome turned bright red thinking of the things that happened last night. "Umm. At a friends?" "No seriously Kag where were you specifically?" Sango said knowing Kagome better than that.
"Well do you remember about how I have always been looking for that someone? I think I might've found him and no it's not what you think."
Sango mouthed a sudden oh and then said "Okay well I guess you'll have to tell me all the juicy details over lunch then." "Okay but you have to spill your half too!" A smile lit up on Sango's face and she said "Of course."
Inuyasha woke up and looked at his clock it read 11:30. He woke up late. But at the moment that didn't' matter. What matter was why Kagome wasn't here. But before he could process that though any deeper his phone rang. Startling him out of his thought he picked up the phone a mumbled "Hello?"
" Oh good morning Mr. Taichi are you not feeling well? Because. Well you're suppose to be here to set up those reports and you still have to arrange the date to see Miss Higurashi for the charity. And.Well a lot of other stuff. The faxes just keep on growing. Oh look ten more just came through. And umm Kikyo Himingyo said she is going on her break today. So I'll be filling in for her. Hi I'm Kaede Himingyo, her sister."
Inuyasha groaned it was too much at once. It was overwhelming. He rubbed his right temple and then replied "No I'm not coming into work today, just e-mail me some of the stuff and the legal documents should be faxed to my home office. I'll have it ready by tomorrow. And for the date concerning the charity and for Miss Higurashi I'll contact her and see when it will be suitable. Oh and if my brother sends you anything, burn it. That's all for now, I'll see you tomorrow Ms. Himingyo goodbye."
Inuyasha hung the phone up rather loudly and stretched. It was going to be a long day.
Kagome stepped inside Coralline's and told the lady at the desk her name and was led into the back. There Sango was waiting for her.
"Long time no see Kag!" said Sango as she pulled her dear friend in an embrace. "I know I know my fault, I'm so sorry Sango. Let's just say this week has been stressful?"
Sango shook her head showing that she knew what Kagome was going through.
"Kagome you know that if you feel like there's a connection you should go for it. But not to fast. Remember last time?"
Kagome shook her head yes. "Gods Sango that was ages ago. I mean I was young and stupid. But when I'm with Inuyasha it's.Well it's like I've known him all my life. It's really weird. Maybe because of the fact that our enemy has to do with Naraku."
Sango gasped. "Inuyasha? Inuyasha Taichi of Inu-Tech Corporations? You're.Your dating him!"
"Well I really don't know where we are at right now. I mean.I don't think we ever discussed the fact of what we were. Other things came into play last night." Kagome said.
"Well looks like you've stumbled into another tangle of web Kagome. Just remember not to fall to quickly in love with him."
"Yeah sure Sango. Same for you too you know."
"Well let's order Kag. I'm getting way too hungry and I still have to finish up that dress."
Kagome laughed along with Sango. Never seeing the figure in the window that stared at them. But continuing their conversation about their love life.
After lunch Kagome headed back to the complex to organize the charity and the public attendings that she and Inuyasha would go to. Overall it was fairly easy work compared to the modeling she usually did all day.
Then the phone rang. Kagome stood up from her desk and ran into the kitchen to get the phone. "Hello Kagome Higurashi speaking." "Hey it's me. Umm we need to talk."
Kagome gulped quietly "Okay where do you want to meet?" Then she turned her head around to the front door and heard a knock. "We can talk here, if that's not too much trouble."
Kagome hung up the phone and went to the door. She slowly turned the lock and opened the door. It was Inuyasha.
"Uhh.Come in" Kagome said meekly. She looked at him and for a moment saw a hint of pain in his eyes. But quickly disappeared as he turned his head away and sat down on the couch.
Following the suit Kagome sat down on the couch next to his and looked at him. "So what did you want to talk about Inuyasha?"
"Isn't it obvious? Why did you leave this morning?"
Kagome froze, it was hard for her to explain why she left. Then she felt another weight on the couch that she was sitting in and looked up. Inuyasha had sat down next to her.
Even though he wasn't dressed nicely in his suit or had shaved properly. He was still amazingly sexy. His hair had looked ruffled as if he had run his hand s through it while he was thinking. But his eyes were what made her stare at his face, which made her unable to look away.
"Please tell me Kagome so I can make it easier for the both of us. Don't you trust me?"
'Don't you trust me?' that was the same words he had said when she found out about.
Inuyasha cupped his hands around Kagome's and stared at her face. Looking for any clues that he could read.
"I.I just needed some space, you know to think."
"To think about what? You know you can tell me Kagome."
"About us Inuyasha. About my past relationships, about Naraku, my friends, my life, about everything. I don't know why but when I'm with you everything seems to be forgotten and it just us. And I.I'm a little scared that's all."
Inuyasha took in the words Kagome said and then said "I would never ever try to hurt you on purpose Kagome. Don't think you're the only one that feels like this I mean I've been thinking about us too. And I'm just as scared but that doesn't mean we have to hide our feelings."
Kagome's eyes started to water. It was all so touching. "I'm sorry I just have a lot of issues with trust. I mean my last relationship.Well it wasn't love let's say." Inuyasha shook his head and then leaned over and kissed Kagome on the forehead.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. Call me when you're ready. In the mean time we need to wrap up our charity fund and the whole mess of it all. It'll be professional. Our relationship will be on hold for awhile until you prioritize; okay?"
Kagome hugged Inuyasha back. "Thank you for understanding." Inuyasha stroked Kagome's hair and took a deep breath. "No problem anything for you. Plus it'll be worth the wait."
Inuyasha stood up and added on "I have to go to do some things and sort out a few details myself. But you'll call me right?"
Kagome stood up and said "Of course." She went and opened the door for Inuyasha. Inuyasha kissed her on the forehead once more and then said goodbye and left.
Kagome closed the door when suddenly the phone rang. She went over to pick it up. "Hello?"
"Hey I just wanted to let you know that I'm in town. See you soon. Very soon." Then the dial toned appeared.
He had hung up.
Kagome hung up the phone and looked at it. He had found her. He knew where she was. Worse of all she was alone at home.
Miroku stared at the plasma TV. Nothing was on but he kept on clicking away with the remote. It was a habit he had picked up from Inuyasha. Then suddenly Inuyasha made a loud entrance.
"Not again." Miroku muttered and shut off the TV.
Inuyasha spotted Miroku at the bar and headed over there. "I need a drink Miroku."
"Girlfriend problems?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "No more like Naraku. I saw him when I was leaving my house today."
Miroku stared at Inuyasha in disbelief. "I can't believe he would have the nerve to show his face near you. I mean after all he has done to you and Kagome."
"Miroku that's the least of my problem at this point. I think someone is after Kagome and it's not Naraku or at least I don't think it is."
Miroku looked at Inuyasha. "Who do you think it is?"
"That's the problem I don't know."
Miroku set out a cup and poured Inuyasha's favorite drink and passed it to him. Only this time Inuyasha didn't catch the drink.
AN: There you go Chapter 5 will be up soon.
