Hey ya'll! It's my first fanfic ever...so be nice, ok? Review and let me know what's good and bad, and since I don't have anything actually ready for this story, you can all write to me what you'd like it to include.
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or anyone else of the characters. I might get a little sentimental and include some of my friends, but we'll see...
'I wonder how they are ' she thought silently to herself.
Sango, Miroku....InuYasha... how to think that they had been together with InuYasha for more than 5 years...
After highschool the gang had promised to keep in touch, not to let the distance destroy what they felt for oneanother. Somehow they just had lost contact.Sango had moved down to Miami, Miroku had said that he wanted to travel, see the world etc., rumour was that he was somewhere in China studying ancient temples...and InuYasha had been seen in Chicago. Kagome had no idea of what they were doing anymore.
She had gotten a letter from Sango a couple of years ago, but nothing else. InuYasha had broken contact almost emmediately after graduation.
"I guess he really didn't love me after all", Kagome muttered.
'But it had felt so real! It was like we were ment to be together forever!'
Later she heard that he'd married his childhood-friend Kikyo, a lifelong rival to Kagome. But that was years ago, Kagome said loudly. I wonder how he is...
Without a moments hesitation Kagome picked up her stylish mobilephone and dialled the number to her secretary.
"Yes?" her secretary answered, ready to do anything for her boss.
"Rin, I want you to find me the number to InuYasha. You know him from Highschool. He was a couple of years older than you, in my class..."
"Oh, yeah. InuYasha. Want me to put him through to you when I get a hold of him?"
"Yes, thank you Rin"
"No problem."
'I guess I just want to know how he is...' Kagome thought as she put down the phone on the dark mahogny table.
In just a few minutes Kagome heard Rin say over the speaker.
"Kagome? He's on line one."
"Thank you Rin, I'll take it now please." Kagome replied as she took a deep breath.
'This was it, there's no turning back.'
"Hello?" She answered as she sat down on her couch.
"Hiya Kagome. It's InuYasha...You wanted to talk to me?" a youngish voice said.
"Yeah, hi InuYasha." Kagome said as the memories flooded her. Memories of when he had said those words with affection dripping all over them.
'How different his words now sound. It's as if he's really tired and anxious' Kagome thought as she tried to figure out what to say next.
"I was just wondering how you were." Kagome said as she finally got over the disturbing feeling that he'd been expecting more.
"Oh, I'm fine." He answered. "I was just about to call you in a matter of fact."
Kagome's heart took an extra jump. 'Call me?'
"...oh..." was all that she could say in response.
"Yeah. I rememberd that you went to lawschool after graduation and then I read in the paper that you'd been offered partnership in a major lawfirm...and I'm in need of some help now actually." he explained.
"Oh..." Kagome replied as a sudden feeling of disappointment washed over her.
'that's all??? He wants me to help him??? In businessmatters only???'
" Yeah, well...I married Kikyo some time ago, as you might know, and...well it's not working anymore...I want to get out of it, but I need a lawyer to do that...and I was kinda hoping that you'd help me...?" he continued nervously.
"Oh, well...I guess I could do that..." Kagome replied still confused over what she had just heard.
'InuYasha was getting divorced?'
"I guess I could come there so that we could talk things through..?" InuYasha asked. "I mean if it's ok with you?"
"Wha? Oh, yeah..yeah..sorry, I was in my dreams again..." Kagome said with a laughter. "When would you be coming?"
"As soon as possible." InuYasha replied with a smile. "Is tomorrow too soon?"
"Oh, no. Not at all. Just give me a call when you arrive at the airport so that I can send a car to come and pick you up, ok?"
"Ok, so it's settled. I'll see you tomorrow!" InuYasha said happily as he hung up.
' I can't believe it! He's coming here! Tomorrow!' Kagome thought as she spun around in her chair, giving her the view of the hundreds of rooftops of NewYork. It all looked so beautiful now.
As soon as Kagome got home from her office, she called on her maid.
"Kanna! I need your help!" she shouted as she walked through the massive hallway leading into her livingroom.
A small young girl walked calmly into the room.
" You called m'lady?" she asked in a friendly tone.
"Yes Kanna. An old friend of mine is coming over here tomorrow, and I would want the house to look nice and welcoming. Welcoming but not like it was when we were children...you know with all the ribbons and stuff..." Kagome said kindly. "Just some fresh flowers in all the vases and so on. You'll know."
"Yes, m'lady. It will be done by today." Kanna said with a slight nod. "Do you want me to prepare a room for your guest?"
"Oh yes! I almost forgot that he should sleep somewhere too!" Kagome laughed. "Yes, you can prepare the spare room next to my bedroom. I hardly ever use it anymore."
"Thank you m'lady. And are you staying in tonight?" Kanna continued.
"No, I need to go over some stuff at the office with my colleagues. I was thinking that I'd let Koga take care of some of my cases...he's so eager and all that..." Kagome said with a smile.
Koga had followed her to lawschool soon after graduation. He'd been pursuing her eversince he found out that she had split up with InuYasha. It was partly thanks to him that she'd gotten over the break-up more easily...
" Yes, I think he could use the training...I don't know what time I'll be home tonight, I wouldn't want to stay that long...I need to get some sleep before InuYasha comes."
With that she left her maid to preapre for the arrival of InuYasha, and headed back to the office.
"Hey Kagome!" a confident voice shouted. It was Koga. "Where have you been? I thought you never left the office!" he continued with a grin.
"Oh, hey Koga" Kagome answered dully.
She never really understood why he'd bother still pursue her. It was not as if he'd never noticed that his secretary Ayame only had eyes for him.
" I just popped by the penthouse to tell Kanna to prepare for tomorrow."
"What's happening tomorrow? Have you finally decided to have me overnight?" he responded with dreamy eyes.
Kagome was shocked. Not as if he'd never said such things to her before, this was just weird. Her head was only set on one person, and one person alone. InuYasha.
"Huh??? No, my old friend is just coming to stay with me for a few weeks, and I need to make the place look comfortable. You know, nice." she said as a slight blush spread over her warm cheeks.
"Is it someone I know?" Koga asked apparently disappointed that it was someone else than he that'd get to spend the night with Kagome.
"Oh, you should know him..." Kagome said with a smile.
" It's InuYasha."
