Chapter 5- Fly me to the moon
"Fly me to the moon,
and let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand!
In other words, darling, kiss me!
Fill my heart with song,
and let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true!
In other words, I love you!
Fly me to the moon,
and let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand!
In other words, darling, kiss me!
Fill my heart with song,
and let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true!
In other words, I love you!"
She put down the microphone and walked off the stage away from the people clapping. Inuyasha, as usual, was standing next to the bar, giving Kagome a standing ovation. His eyes were wide and cheery.
"Someone's having a good time," Miroku stated.
"Like a child at Christmas," Sango replied bluntly, "Inuyasha, we need to talk."
"About what?"
"About your relationship with Kagome," Miroku said.
"What about it?"
"We saw you two at the dance club last night."
"So?"
Sango grabbed him by his collar, pulling over the bar. "You idiot! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT YOU'RE MARRIED?!"
"Sango, calm down, people are staring."
"Let 'em stare then!"
"Um, Sango, I can't breathe," Inuyasha choked, who was turning blue. She let go of him somewhat hesitantly and folded her arms across her chest.
"Now, listen to me, Inuyasha," Miroku said, "you are married, you can't be spending time with another girl. You can only do that when you're dating. Not that I do of course!" He added the last part nervously because of the glare Sango was giving him.
"Don't worry about it, you guys," Inuyasha said, "besides, what I do is none of your business."
"THAT'S IT!" Sango started throttling the hanyou, Miroku trying to pry her hands off.
"Um, guys?" They all turned to Kagome, who was watching curiously.
Sango released Inuyasha, who in turn fell over the bar, on top of Miroku.
"Inuyasha, are you ready to go?" she asked the dog-eared heap on the floor. He jumped up. "Yea, let's go."
Sango grabbed her tray and brushed by him. "If you hurt her," she whispered, "I'll kill you and make it look like an accident." He froze on his tracks, if there was one girl he was afraid of, it was Sango, for when she says something, she meant it. Her lethal glare didn't help either with the situation.
"Shall we go, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. He nodded and she took his hand, heading out the door.
Meanwhile...******************************************************
"Why don't you tell him?" Kagura said, plopping down a chair in the kitchen.
Kikyo took a drink of Chardonnay, spinning it around in the glass. She shook out a tablet from the bottle of aspirin. She knew that medication didn't go well with alcohol, but at this point she didn't care. She plopped it in her mouth, drowning it in liquid before swallowing it.
"You know how Inuyasha is with these kinds of things," Kikyo said.
"Who is the person you're working with?"
"His name's Naraku Omigumo."
A crash was heard from glass hitting the tile floor. Kagura was shaking, looking out to seemingly nothing.
"N-Naraku?" she managed to choke out.
"Kagura, what's wrong?"
"I-I thought I had gotten away from him, but... he's gonna try to pull me back in, I know it."
"Kagura!"
Kagura stood up. "I'm sorry, but I-I can't work for you anymore," she said, "I have to leave."
Kikyo stood up, grabbing her friend's shoulder. "Kagura! What is wrong? You're my best friend, you can tell me." They both sat down on the couch in the living room, and Kikyo looked at her friend worriedly.
"You promise, not to tell anyone?"
"I promise."
"....Naraku...he's-he's my father."
"Father?"
"I'm not supposed to tell anybody, even though he'd deny it. He's older than he looks; he's about fifty years old. After he had his way with my mother, he found out she was pregnant, then called her a stupid wench and pushed her down to the ground. He disowned her, denying all rights to my mother when she was pregnant with me. She found out he had given birth to several other children, all disowned from him, all different mothers. A few hours after I was delivered, she had just laid down and died, doctors didn't know why, but I do, when I was going through her things. I also found a cufflink, with his initials on it. When I got older, a few years ago, I came to him, confronting him about it. He looked at me then smirked. He started making me do his dirty work, threatening, beating, even killing, along with the other children he had made, using them. I tried to leave, several times, but each time he would find me, threatening to kill me and my siblings. He could always find me, he knew it, I knew it. He has eyes everywhere. Finally, when he was out of town, I took my sibling and left, I couldn't leave them. I know he knows where I am, but he come for me for some reason, maybe he has no more use for use for us. But I can't face him, not after what he did to me."
"Kagura, I understand you wanting to leave. Take this." Kikyo picked up and notepad and a pen, scribbling something on it, passing it to her. Kagura inspected the name on the piece of paper.
"This person's looking for a maid, but just to let you know, not many can get along with him," Kikyo said, "but I'm sure you'll make it."
Kagura nodded and they walked to the door. Kikyo opened the door, giving her best friend a quick hug, resting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Be safe."
"I will, but remember what I said Kikyo. He won't stop until he gets what he wants. I know you're strong, but-"
"Don't worry about me, just go and get that job."
"Right, I'll come and visit." Kagura walked out the door into the night. Kikyo closed the door then leaned against it, rubbing her temples. "Not only do I have to get a new maid, I also have to find a way to tell Inuyasha that I'm working for his worst rival. Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, nor will it give me a headache."
Later....***********************************************************
Kagura exited the elevator. In front of her, was a door. 'Penthouse, this guy must be loaded, and in one of the best places in Tokyo too.'
She rang the doorbell, wanting patiently at the door. The door slowly opened, and she looked down to what had to be the most repulsive little person she had ever seen. Obviously it had to be the butler.
"State your name and business," the toad looking creature said.
"None of your business, now where is your employer?" she said.
"Jaken, who is it?" A man stepped into the door, his amber eyes gleaming.
"Sesshoumaru Takashi I presume," Kagura said, "I hear you're looking for a maid."
"Any experience?"
"I worked for you brother the slob, I'm pretty sure I'm qualified."
Sesshoumaru smirked. "I believe you are qualified enough."
