"Just Desserts"
By Night Youkai
Chapter 2
Kagome was still fuming by the dinner-shift. She knew that hanyou was probably laughing his head of thinking that he got the better her. Well that's what he thought. Mayu, Sango's cousin came into the kitchen with good. Sango's uncle was a fisherman and had caught a nice load of crabs and mayu save all the best ones for them. She also had all the oysters. Growing up mayu was the close thing to a sister that Sango had and she was always giving the best fish and shellfish to them.
"So Kag you going to the triplet's birthday? I know Yashoki misses you."
"Yeah, I know mayu I miss him too, but Inuyasha will be there and I don't want to see that jerk. I just can't stand him!"
"I understand that but their cousin of course Inuyasha is going to be there. Just ignore him. Yashoki is one of our best friends since we all could walk and he started flying." Kagome smiled at the memory. She could see a small inu-night pup jumping out of the trees flapping his huge bat like wings on his back, desperately trying to stay in the air. Only to come crashing down face first.
"Fine, I'll go. Plus it will be nice to see Akora and Keiko too. BUT as soon as that short order cook of a hanyou starts to tick me off I'm gone!"
"Alright it's a deal! See you Saturday." Mayu could always talk Kagome in to anything. As he soon as she closed the door to the kitchen she gave Sango two thumbs ups.
Kagome stopped working on her current order and hand off to an under chef then told Sango she needed to take ten. Kagome sat in her spacious office trying not to think of a certain Hanyou with a boyish grin. Once a long time ago in school she had a crush on the sliver-haired boy. Yet every time they got close he had to go and ruin things by opening his big mouth. Then the on going war of who was the best started. Kagome wasn't sure how it started really. When they were little it would be little teasing like 'I colored in the lines and you didn't!' or 'I got an A you got a B' small stuff like that. Didn't become a full out war till Inuyasha's jealously got the better of him. She was standing with Yashoki when the hanyou came up and started talking to them somehow it turned in to a shouting match. Which lead to Inuyasha shouting at the top of his lungs 'WELL YOU CAN'T DATE HIM BECAUSE YOU'LL KILL HIM WITH YOU COOKING!' now there was two things wrong with this statement. One she didn't want to date Yash he was her friend and it would be like dating her brother. And Two She could cook like no other it was her passion her life. At the time Kagome was to upset with Inuyasha to set him straight that she Challenged him to a cook off in front of the whole school.
~*~ *~*~*~*~ Flashback~*~*~*~
"A cook-off what is this Iron-chef?"
Hey you are the one saying I can't cook you could tell salt from sugar!"
"Is That so? Well I accept your challenge! I'll show you what a real chef is!!"
"Fine and when you lose I doubt even the pigs will eat your slop!" with that Kagome stormed away dragging Yashoki behind her.
~*~ *~*~*~*~ End Flashback~*~ *~*~*~*~
Surprising enough things ended in a tie. Which made them even more determined to top the other. 'It's just a party I can get through this. I'll show Inuyasha That I'm not afraid of him!' After a ten-minute rest a self-pep talk Kagome was ready to finish off her shift and go home for some much-dissevered sleep.
*****
The Bone Eater's Well was really packed. Tonight Sesshomaru had made a total of 55 martinis in the first two hours of the dinner-shift. He was so busy filling orders that he didn't notice that someone just walked up and sat on the bar. His mind was shaken not stirred at the moment but he didn't look it.
"Hey Handsome busy night, tonight?"
"Akora I thought you had the night off."
"I do what can I say I just can't stay away. Besides who ever heard of a night youkai with the night off?" she giggled as she stretched out her wings in the confined space. Sesshomaru just smirked as he handed off an order to a waiting waitress. " So Sesshy is Inu around?"
"Yeah probably still in the freezer." Akora's dog-ears perked up at this tidbit of news.
"Let me guess it has something to do with Kagome." The Inuyoukai just gave her a pointed look. " Then he's not going to like the news I have to give him. Mom and Dad sent me to inform you both of our birthday party this Saturday and you both have to be there. She Demands the you both attend!"
"How is Uncle Inuyouki and aunt Sonora?" Sesshomaru had to smile when he thought of his aunt and uncle. The night-youkai, singer, that fell in love with the inu-youkai, of the high rising Western Corporation. When his father and stepmother died after being attacked by an unknown youkai while they were on vacation He and Inuyasha were sent to live with their father's brother and his mate along with their triplet pups. That's when they met Kagome and her cousin Rin.
"Mom and Dad are fine just slightly offended that their two wayward pups are too busy with their restaurant to pick up a phone."
"I don't know about Inu but I called aunt Sukora two weeks ago." His aunt was always so caring and always treating him and Inuyasha as if they were her own pups. She even blood bonded with them so they could train with the others in how to use the mysterious night-youkai powers. "So who's going to this party for you three brats?" teased Sesshomaru as he filled another order.
"Ha-ha Sesshy I'm not going to tell you now." She huffed as she crossed her arms.
" Yeah right the day Akora Inushiku keeps a secret will be the day they start severing snow cones in hell."
" When did you become such a punk? Anyways FLUFFY they didn't tell me but I can guess. I'm sure all our closes friends will be there. You know Kagome, Sango, Ayame, and Kirara. Oh and of course my best friend Rin will be there." The ever-graceful Sesshomaru suddenly fumbled and spilled the drink he was mixing. "Something wrong cuz?"
"Uh . . . yeah just felt the subway go by."
"Sure you did. Well I'll let you get back to work. Oh and don't forget Saturday 6:30 at mom and dad's!" Akora jumped down from her spot on the bar and gave he cousin a loving smile before head back to the kitchens. As she made her way to the freezer she thought how the men in her family could be such idiots when it came to their feelings. It seemed that the only time Sesshomaru ever felt the underground subway go by was when Rin's name was mentioned. Although he would never admit she knew her cousin was totally in love with Rin. It was love at first sight, sappy yes but love nonetheless. The first time he met Rin was when she first came to live with her cousin Kagome. She had just lost her mother to cancer and her father up and left them before she could walk. Despite all that had happened she was a happy little girl. They were all at the park playing; well all but Sango who was hitting Miroku with an oversize boomerang, When Sesshomaru came to fetch them home for dinner. Being ten and the oldest he didn't play with the others. Life seemed to harden him he lost so much he felt he had to watch over the other and care for them to insure they too wouldn't disappear from his life. When He got there his heart stopped. Sitting on the swings was a small girl of seven with her short brown hair half up in a ponytail on side of her head. She had a bright smile and musical little giggle as she laughed at Sango and Miroku, but her smile did not reach her eyes. Her doe lie eyes reflected the sorrow she held with in her heart and he wanted nothing more then to do anything to wipe away that sorrow. Little did he know that Akora and Keiko were watching their cousin's Ice covered heart melt before their eyes. Unfortunately he never did any thing to win her heart.
Akora sighed 'Since plan A didn't work on to plan B. If that doesn't work, I'm going to lock them in a Closet!'. She instantly wrapped her wings around herself as she entered the freezer. She spotted the hanyou mercilessly punching a side of beef. " Inu don't you think it's cruel to beat a dead cow?"
Inuyasha stopped pounding the beef and turned and smirked at his cousin. " Well I don't hear it complaining."
"Ha-Ha. Boy everyone's a comedian tonight. Anyway I'm on a mission." Inuyasha ears twitched in curiosity as he picked up a towel and wiped the blood from his hands as he eyed the inu-night.
" A mission huh? All right I'll Bite. What's this mission your on?"
"Mom's Orders are that you attend our birthday Party on Saturday."
"Is she going to be there?"
"Most likely. Before you say no Mom said you better be there or she'll rip those cute doggy-ears off your ugly head, you mutt." He was beat and he knew it. No one ever crossed Aunt Sukora and lived to tell the tail.
"Fine I'll go, but I won't stay long."
"Inu she doesn't like Yash like that and he only likes her as a friend. How many times do we have to tell you that?"
"Friends? Right Kora that's why they hang all over each other. Gods why am I even talking to you about this?"
"Because you are a jealous stubborn hanyou."
"I am not JEALOUS! I don't even like her!"
"Right and I am a toad! If you would look past your own pride you'd see she like you too. Don't be a baka!" Sometimes the thickest heads have the softest hearts. Akora watched as he sliced perfect steaks with one swipe of his claws. It was clear to everyone that he likes Kagome and vice versa. They showed it every time they competed over something. It was like they were trying to say ' See I'm the best and the strongest please love me.' Two stubborn hearts were going to get a helping hand weather they want it or not.
"Kora I'm busy right now, but I'll come to the party. I'll go say hi and that's it." She gave him a pat on the back and a bright smile.
"Ok Inu see you Saturday and you better buy me a present." She left her hanyou cousin to his loneliness and heartache.
'I'll be there. I am not afraid of her.' Inuyasha stated over and over in his head. He had three days to convince himself her didn't care about Kagome Higurashi.
