Chapter Ten
The phone rang. Miroku rushed to the laptop and opened it. He signaled Kagome to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" Kagome said waiting for a reply.
"Sorry to call so late but is Inuyasha home? It's Myouga. I've received great news." Myouga said.
Kagome sighed with relief and gave Inuyasha the phone. "Who is it?" Inuyasha whispered.
"It's Myouga, he has something to tell you." Kagome whispered back.
"Oh." Inuyasha took the phone and said, "I'm going to put you on speaker."
"Well, recently, this evening, we've caught Naraku's partner, Kagura. Although she isn't talking, we'll get it out of her though one way or another, we've put a lie detector on her and asked her questions. But she just responded with no reply. We've put her to sleep and now we're starting to track her memory. (A/n, if that's even possible. Doubt it.) We'll call you once we get some more information."
"Alright thanks." Inuyasha said and hung up the phone.
On the other line, Myouga was holding up the phone, "Don't people ever say goodbye anymore?" And he hung up.
"Well, at least we can some more information" Miroku said closing his laptop and joining the others on the couch.
"Yeah, but not much yet." Sango sighed.
"Well, we might as well go to sleep." Kagome said. So they went to bed, but none of them could sleep.
'I hope that we can catch Naraku soon enough. Why must he do horrible things? Just because his lost love died and loved another man, there's always new love. That person just wasn't meant for him. But that doesn't matter now does it?' Miroku thought and went to sleep.
'I'm finally having a life. I'm finally happy, but I'm not completely happy. I love my brother, I miss him. Why do I have to be in such a mess? I just want to be happy with my friends and family. Just what everyone needs in their life. Why is that so hard for you to give? I've been a good person; I have good friends, why do bad things happen to me?' Sango thought and waited as though she was waiting for a sign to come and tell her. After a couple of minutes, she fell asleep.
'Kagome, I'm so sorry that things have come this way. I wish to catch Naraku, not just because it will benefit me, but also because it will help you. Why do I even care so much? She's a fugitive, an innocent one though. I know it's my job to help, but I feel it's more than my job to help her. It's like I want to help her, like I more than want to help her. It's like my destiny to. What is this feeling? Is it even one?' Inuyasha thought and let sleep overcome him.
'Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? I hate my life! I want my cousin back. My family moved to America once my mom got a promotion. And I really have to save my cousin. He's the only family I've got here with me. I'm happy and sad at the same time. I like having friends and a boyfriend. But I like having some family also. I don't even know if he TRULY likes me or not. I know he has to help me and I know that his best friend likes mine, but is he just playing along because Miroku wants him to or not? I can't worry about my love life now. I need friends and family. I like having a life, but life isn't complete without family AND friends.' Kagome thought and went to sleep.
The next morning...
"Oh crap, we're out of food." Inuyasha closed the fridge.
"Well, either we can go buy some more food or eat out." Miroku suggested.
"Let's go out to eat. I don't really want to eat burnt food that Inuyasha makes." Sango said.
"HEY! My cooking isn't that bad!" Inuyasha said and everyone flashbacked to a couple of breakfasts later where there was burnt food and the smoke detector going off. "Uhh, yeah, that's a good idea, let's go out to eat." Inuyasha thought over.
So they all drove to breakfast buffet in downtown Tokyo. When they got there, Inuyasha rushed to the buffet table and grabbed everything in sight. Everyone else went to get a plate and took some off from the plates. They sat at a table really close to where all the food was because Inuyasha suggested to. After the meal, Inuyasha rushed to the bathroom.
"I guess he ate too much, I'll go check on him." Miroku said at got up from his seat towards the bathroom.
"Your boyfriend sure eats a lot." Sango said to Kagome, "Where does he put it all?"
"Haha, well as long as he keeps his body in good shape that's all that matter's right?" Kagome and Sango laughed.
"Yeah, well, that's all you care about don't you? In relationships, that's all that matters...what the guy looks like." Sango laughed. Kagome didn't say anything. "I'm sorry Kagome, I didn't mean it."
"I know, you were just joking. I was just thinking, am I really in a relationship?"
"Of course you are, if you want to. Why would you even ask?"
"Well, it's like I told you before."
"You're still worried about that?"
"Yeah, I mean what if he's only going along with it because Miroku likes you so much?"
"I assure you, he likes you."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I'm not." Sango said and smiled brightly.
Kagome hugged her tightly, "You're such a good friend, Sango."
"Can't... breath." Sango said.
"Oh, sorry." Kagome said and released her.
They guys came out. Inuyasha was leaning on Miroku, Miroku's arm as around Inuyasha's shoulder to hold him up for support.
"Is he ok?" Sango looked at Inuyasha.
"Yeah, just had a little too much to eat." Miroku said, "Let's just get him home to rest."
"Inuyasha, you are such a pig." Kagome said to Inuyasha once they were driving to the apartment. Miroku was driving and Sango was sitting in the front. Inuyasha was lying on Kagome's lap in the back.
"Well, it's not entirely my fault. I have a thing for food." Inuyasha said looking up at Kagome. Kagome bent over and gave him a little kiss on the lips. :"What was that for?"
"I don't know, just wondering how you would react to it." Kagome smiled.
"Oh, well can you help me up? We're home"
"Yeah, sure." Kagome got Inuyasha up and up the apartment stairs.
Once they got there, they all relaxed on the couch for an hour. Then the phone rang.
The phone rang. Miroku rushed to the laptop and opened it. He signaled Kagome to pick up the phone.
