Alternate Lives

SilverHanyou1: Hi all! Sorry its taken me so long to up date. Much problems. I KNOW its way shorter then the last one and I'm sorry. Please forgive me!

CHAPTER TWO: And this would be the 'Plan' and how it got...well...Never mind.

Kagome grinned as she watched her staff and friends working in unison to build Club NightShade in a very short amount of time. Inuyasha was busy drilling the girls on what to do if trouble arose and Miroku was staring vacantly at their bodies as Kenshin tried to divert his attention. Kagome frowned. He shouldn't be looking! She stalked up behind him and dropped a LARGE glass on his foot. He yelped and whirled to glare at her, "What was that for?!"

Kagome smiled sweetly, "For staring at my friend's asses when you should have been working you idiot!"

Miroku looked serene, "You must be mistaken Lady Kagome. I would do no such thing. I come from a long line of monks."

Kagome snorted, "Yeah monks for the religion of Perverted Freaks from Hell."

Inuyasha snorted and even Shesshomaru cracked a smile. Kenshin came and took Kagome's shoulders and led her away, talking soothingly, "Now miss Kagome I need your help with this. Not that I mind alcohol for myself but some of the younger members shouldn't be allowed to drink. I think..."

Kaoru smiled, a tinge of jealousy lighting her eyes. Kagome had come into their lives quickly and seemed to have become everyone's favorite girl. She didn't really begrudge her that, Kaoru was happy so long as she had Kenshin. But it hurt to see Kenshin with an arm around Kagome's shoulders so casually. It had taken them months to get over their shyness.

Megumi nudged Sano and pointed to Kaoru. Sano got the hint and walked over to Kaoru before tossing an arm around her shoulders, "Hey there little missy."

Kaoru smiled. Though she and Sano were pretty much the same age he acted as if she were a younger sister. "Hello Sano. What can I help you with?"

Sano shrugged nonchalantly, "You can tell me why you're jealous of Kagome. You know Kenshin doesn't have a thing for her, right? I mean, he's just Kenshin. The big oaf is too dumb to try cheating on a girl."

(A/N: Ca–calm down Miss Megumi...Kenshin...Calm, calm...)

Megumi threw a glass at Sano's head, yelling, "And so that means you don't mind cheating?!"

Sano laughed nervously, "That's not what I meant fox! Calm down. I wouldn't cheat on you...Honest!"

Megumi huffed and flounced away. Kaoru was laughing so hard all she could do was wave Sano after the angry young woman. Sano ran after Megumi, pleading with her, saying that he really did love her.

Sango laughed along with Kaoru, watching in interest as Kirara and Rin tossed random objects to Aya and the young woman kept them all going, juggling them, under legs over people...Kagome walked back from her small talk with Kenshin when Shesshomaru called her over. Sighing, the weary young woman walked over, "What's up Fluffy?" Inuyasha heard the nickname and started snickering. Koga had also heard it and fell down laughing. The stoic Shesshomaru glared angrily at his brother, Koga and Kagome, "Never call me that again."

Kagome smiled sweetly and replied, "Aye, aye Cap'n Fluffy!"

Rin watched in avid fascination as Shessy's eyebrow twitched in irritation, as he snapped out, "Girl do you have a death wish of some sort?"

Kagome smiled once again, this time with eyes that hinted at a malicious joy in annoying the cold demon, "Do I have a death wish? Not really...But I do really wanna do this."

Running forward Kagome poked Shesshomaru's nose and said, "Werrrh!" before dashing off screaming, "Please don't kill me!"

Kaoru laughed so hard she fell, and Kenshin was holding his sides. Megumi had stopped beating up Sano and was in his arms laughing. Rin and all the others laughed. Inuyasha grabbed Shesshomaru's arm, "Don't. She was just having fun...Fluffy."

Inuyasha watched as his brother's eyes turned icy, "She may call me that...You may not."

Rin poked her boyfriend's arm, "Can I?"

She received a small shake of the head as her answer. Rin frowned, he never denied her anything. So why this?

He seemed able to read her mind and explained, "I believe she needs something to help keep her human. If it is calling me by some annoying childish name, so be it. She needs to relive her childhood and we have to help her if we ever want to have her full potential. So she may call me..." Shesshomaru shuddered at the word, "Fluffy. For now."

Kagome peered out from behind Omi and said, "Is it safe or am I gonna die? I don't wanna die. Because dying really is bad for my health. I'm allergic to it, really..."

Aya laughed, "You're crazy Kagome. Get your butt out here. I need help with this, and Shesshomaru, don't kill the poor girl."

Kagome nodded, "Yeah. Cause, you know, murder isn't legal in Japan. So if you're gonna kill anyone you gotta drag 'em off to the Amazon first and then blame it on the crazy natives." having realized what she just said she clapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide as she watched the laughing gang, "I did NOT just say that! Please tell me I didn't give him any help as to how to kill me and get away with it!"

Inuyasha walked over, laughing, and put an arm around her shoulders, "Its okay Kagome. No one is gonna die. We need you around you know. So c'mon already, I need your help with the weird tunnel thing you got going on."

Kagome grinned, "Fox trails!" having shouted that she took off, dragging Inuyasha behind her, eagerly chatting with him.

Omi watched on with a fond eye before saying, "She hasn't been this happy since before her parents died. You people are good for her."

With that he turned his back on the stunned teenagers and returned to his talk with the other guards, making sure that there was nothing that would hint at Kagome being the leader of the Sakura Blades.

Kenshin blinked hesitantly, "Did he...and...not....kill...how? WHY?! What is wrong with this world?"
