A Divine Plan, Indeed
Hello! Everyone, it has been a while and I am back with one of the last chapters before the Epilog. I hope you enjoy....
"Family Secrets and Miroku"
I last left off with Kagome and Sango getting everything together for the surprise dinner. Kagome had made several calls one was to her mother and Inu Yasha's mother informing them of Inu's proposal. However, she did not tell them that it was not her so she played along, making them think the obvious. A tear shed from Kagome's eye knowing that her first love is engaged to someone other than her. The mother's were more than excited to hear the news and agreed to come to the dinner. Now everything was set all Kagome needed to do was call the last of her friends Kouga and Ayame.
Sango talked about spells that only Kaede knew of since she was a miko. Kagome laughed knowing Sango didn't know that she too is a miko a powerful one at that. "What's so funny Kagome, I mean I know that Kaede is Kikyou's sister but she does have knowledge on spells." Sango reminded Kagome who now had stopped laughing and with a true smile Kagome looked at Sango saying, "Sango, I didn't tell you that I to am a miko! I know spells that even Kaede wouldn't even know." Kagome said with a stern face as she continued telling Sango about her miko and demon training. Sango couldn't believe what Kagome had told her she was truly one of a kind.
"How stupid could Inu Yasha have been to lose someone so important. I hope you know what you are doing Kagome! Does Inu Yasha even know?" Sango asked with concern in her voice. "No, he never had the time when it came to my lessons. He knows that I am a miko however, he doesn't know how strong and powerful I am and that my heritage is that of demons and miko's only a few selected individuals know. So I trust you Sango not to tell anyone." Kagome said, as she took Sango's right hand using her nail made a kanji on the palm of her hand and it glowed pink for a mere second. Sango's eyes remained wide as she witnessed for the first time a demon-miko bond of loyalty and friendship. "Kagome, I am honored! I swear to you that no one will find out and I will always protect you as my friend and ally." Sango stated as she hugged Kagome abruptly and then released her.
I know a perfect spell that will keep dog boy from sensing what will be going on." Kagome proudly stated when all the sudden they both felt a warm sensation touch their butts. Both Sango and Kagome turned around out of reflex punched and kicked the pervert who groped them. Miroku let out a loud cry of pain as four fists collided with his face and chest. "My dearest Sango, Kikyou!!! I could not resist your....." Another, fist came flying at him cutting off his sentence. "I am not Kikyou!!! How Dare You-you Stupid Perverted Jerk!" Kagome yelled at Miroku as she continued to beat him.
"Kagome!" Sango cried out. "Kagome! Whose Kagome!" Miroku replied as Kagome pushed him backwards. "I'm Kagome you jerk!" Kagome said, glaring at the now bruised Miroku. Sango looked between the two and frowned knowing he didn't know either. Sango had expected Miroku to know since he is Inu Yasha's best friend. "Miroku, I like you to meet Kagome. She's Inu Yasha's girlfriend, sorry Kagome! I mean soon to be ex-girlfriend." Sango stated as she introduced them.
"Wait! You mean Inu Yasha's cheating on Kikyou with her!" Miroku stated in vain shaking his head side to side. Kagome and Sango both looked at each other with disdain written on their faces. "WHAT!!!" Kagome cursed as she began to point her index finger at Miroku and shake it in front of him saying. "For your information Mister, I have been Inu Yasha's girlfriend for over seven years. So, you better watch your mouth for one more mistake I'll cut your tongue out and make you eat it." Kagome finished her threat by scissoring her fingers opening and closing her middle and pointed finger.
Sango intervened informing Miroku on the up to date events, and what was going down. Now that he knew, Miroku apologized to Kagome saying how sorry he was for his mishap. "Please forgive me Kagome, I will be happy to help you in any way I can Milady." Miroku smiled a perverted smile as he half bowed to Kagome knowing she was more than what she lead on to believe. Sango knew what he was about to do and whopped him upside the head before he could even begin to grope Kagome. "Don't worry about it, besides I'm used to getting beatings from my lovely Sango, who has a beautiful right hook as you now know. She can whip just about any guy from here to China with those lovely fists of hers." Miroku finished as he put his arm around Sango and began to move them closer to Kagome.
Standing next to Sango and Kagome now Miroku held his hand out in a gesture of friendship, which surprised Sango who only glared at him with a weary smile as Kagome and Miroku shook hands. Kagome just looked at Sango smiling. "You should be more careful in whom you grope because, it just maybe your last. You're lucky your still standing. It irks me to no end. Besides, if a certain someone saw you grope me, I wouldn't doubt you be maimed or dead." Kagome stated with clarity while looking at Miroku then to Sango. "Well, you have no choice but to help us out Miroku since I know your Hogo's best friend whom, I don't want running off and informing him of my plans. I hope you understand that I forgive you! However, right now we need you to help load the car with the groceries." Kagome stated as she smiled to Miroku and Sango who were now standing close to one another.
"So, your saying that, I the great, powerful and handsome Miroku has to do the dirty work! It never seizes." Miroku stated with a mocking hurtful tone. "Yes!!!" Both Kagome and Sango said in unison. "Then you shall have my services my lovely ladies. I am at your command and I will be honored if you both would bare my chil.....dren." Miroku tried to finish as Sango punched him in the face saying, "I warned you not to say that Houshi! Now let's get going."
"Yeah, time is running short and we have a lot to do before the dinner. I have a feeling that tonight will be a night that Inu Yasha and Kikyou never forgets. Oh, the webs we weave." Kagome chirped happily, as they began to load the groceries in Sango's car. "This surprise dinner will be the beginning of an end. Everyone will know what Inu Yasha has done and it's a great way for Kagome to confront him instead of hunting him down like the dog he is. Besides, Kagome deserves the love of someone who truly respects her. I believe that when the dinner party begins there will be no need for the after dinner entertainment." Sango stated and Kagome laughed knowing it would really be something to laugh about in the future.
"Come on we have a lot to set up, so lets get going. Sango, Miroku I want to thank you guys for your help. I just wish I had met you both before this." Kagome smiled to them as she hopped on to her bike revving it waiting for Miroku to get into Sango's car. Sango, and Miroku led Kagome to their apartment where they cooked and made all the appetizers and elegant side dishes along with the main course. 'Kagome had bought and cooked enough food to feed the entire base. Just who is coming to this dinner party of hers?' Miroku wondered as he made the preparations.
The food had now been cooked and set up in the portable hot ovens and ice carriers. It was now time to for Sango to go and pick up Kagome's and Inu Yasha's mother's from the train station. Once Sango picked them up, she would drive them around until it was time to meet Kagome and the others at the cottage. Kagome's plan of getting everything out in the open was sure to be a smash. Everyone who knew about Inu Yasha, Kagome and Kikyou would be surprised at the outcome of this little get together. However, what did Sesshoumaru have in store for the dinner, of course, he would not dream of letting this fine day go by without having something planned.
Sesshoumaru had made a few calls one being to his father's long time friend and ally Konojaru, Lord of the Southern Lands who remained a friend and ally. "I will be delighted to perform the ceremony and what a treat it will be to meet the beautiful and powerful miko-youkai whom has melted your cold heart my friend." Konojaru stated as Sesshoumaru smiled and replied with only saying "Don't forget the amulet it's needed again." Sesshoumaru then hung up the telephone and proceeded to get ready. He had a surprise for Kagome and he wanted nothing more than to please her. Rin and Shippou walked down the stairs dressed in traditional Western Lands Japanese attire signifying they are part of the royal family.
Rin wore a beautiful white kimono with red sakura blossoms along the collar and sleeves with a yellow, gold and black designed obi. Shippou wore a white hakama and houri with matching sakura blossoms as Rin and his new father. Reaching the bottom of the stairs Rin and Shippou looked into their adopted father's eyes for approval. Smiling, using both hands to brush along their cheeks Sesshoumaru said, "Wonderfully done my children, you made this father proud." Sesshoumaru had dressed in his traditional hakama and houri signifying his status of Lord of the Western Lands. He wanted Kagome to know of his status and ask her to become his mate and mother to his pups so he made all the arrangements needed for this night to be unforgettable.
Everything was set and ready for the surprise dinner and special events that are to take place. Kagome made sure to call and remind everyone not to make any noise what's so ever for this was a surprise. Setting the food inside Miroku's black and purple Nissan Quest van, he set out for Kagome's cottage where she had left to set up the decorations, tables and chairs. Kagome had stopped a block away from her cottage knowing Inu Yasha could sense her motorcycle coming and she didn't want to spoil the surprise. Making her way to the outskirts of her land. Kagome chanted in what was to believe a lost and forgotten language. Kagome chanted and drew kanji's in midair knowing the seal would not be broken. Now it was time to test the spell.
Kagome let out a loud growl and made such ruckus that the passer Byers looked at her as if Kagome was crazy. Silence filled the air as Kagome waited to see if her spell worked. Kagome felt her heart pound waiting after a few minutes nothing not a peep from her dog-eared boyfriend. Kagome jumped in the air and said "Yes! I've done it..." Now it was time to set up for the festivities. Inu Yasha would have the shock of his life when he finds out about what she had done this would be the end of their relationship and seeing him as her Hogo... Kagome began to think about Sesshoumaru, and how he stole her heart. Kagome felt guilty knowing that she to in a way she has cheated on Inu Yasha as well.
Kagome admitted to herself as she realized that if not for Inu Yasha's cheating and his proposal she would not have been granted the chance to profess her love to Sesshoumaru. Kagome wondered how she would ask Sesshoumaru to become her mate as she looked for the decorations. Sesshoumaru had slowly captured her heart and somehow mended it before it could break. Kagome would do anything for Sesshoumaru, for he did something that no other could do. "He brought out the animal in me!" She stated as she giggled knowing she loved the feeling of being hopelessly lost in his embrace as she looked into his eyes, Sesshoumaru is the one she could spend the rest of her life with, he made her feel complete.
Kagome shook her head violently removing the thoughts knowing she had to get things done before everyone arrived. Kagome made her way to the garage and removed the tables and chairs setting them up and placing them behind the cottage, which her bedroom overlooked. The tables and chairs were set with silver and blue tablecloths accenting the candelabra's and moon lilies. Kagome had turned on the lights that lead from the front of the cottage to the courtyard. Deep blue colored floodlights had lighted the path adding a touch of fervor to the multicolored rose pathway that Kagome and her late grandmother planted years ago. Kagome looked at her handy work sighing and nodding her head she let herself inside the house and began to make preparations when she heard screams and groaning coming from upstairs.
Kagome knew what was going on upstairs and did her best to ignore the sounds of love making as she made her way setting up the decorations all over the house making it look inviting and not overdone. Everything was set. Kagome had gone outside looking down the driveway when her cell phone rang. "Kagome here! Oh yes, that's fine Sango tell them that this is to be hush hush and not to make a sound when they arrive because Inu Yasha is sleeping." Kagome said as Sango relayed the message to the mothers who excitedly yelled "of course dear." Kagome hung up and dialed Miroku who was just down the street bringing the food.
