Chapter 4

Do I know you?

7years, thought Kagome. Why hasn't InuYasha come back yet? It's my birthday! Kagome started crying.

For seven years her mother never celebrated her birthday, as for her brother Naraku, never even cared about her unless he wanted money.

"Kagome! Get down here right now! The costumers are leaving!"

She went downstairs and stared right into her mother's eyes, "I'm not going to sing or dance for them," her voice was low a fierce.

"What did you just say?"

"I'm getting out of here, for good!" carrying her small amount of possessions, she left.

Kagome, thought InuYasha, holding a small doll.

"InuYasha! What do you think you're doing?!?"

"Chill Kikyo! I wasn't doing anything."

"I know what you were trying to do. You've been doing it for years. You're trying to take MY stuff!"

"It's not yours. It belongs to Kagome and always will."

"Don't you dare mention that name in front of me again!"

"You could never replace Kagome. NEVER!!!"

"STOP!!!!!!!!"

"Kagome! What happened?" asked a tall friend, Kouga.

"I can't stand my mom anymore! I-I J-just," she stammered, crying softly as he took her in his arms. "Kouga, I'm scared, I've been scared for 7 years, seven!"

"Your stupid dog-breath brother shouldn't have left you. It's okay Kagome you have me now. Everything will be alright, you'll see."

"Thanks Kouga," she gently pushed away just when he was about to kiss her.

"Come, you can live at my dad's hotel and work there to pay for the rental."

"Thank you so much Kouga!"

"InuYasha, Kikyo, we're going back to Tokyo next week so pack up okay?"

"That's great mom!" Now I can find Kagome! Thought InuYasha.

"Dad! Do we have to go?"

"Yes Kikyo, and no complaining so that's that. Your mother and I have to go to this business there and make a settlement."

"How long will we be there then?" asked Kikyo, Please say in 1 week.

"Maybe for a month or so. It's late, we'll discuss it another time."

"Kouga, don't you think this work clothes is a bit too short?"

"Kagome, Kagome, it's fashionable don't you know?"

"But no one else has to where is this short."

"Are you going to sit here and complain or work?"

"Okay, okay! But where's my room?"

"Right across from my room so when ever you need me I'll be right there." Kouga flashed one of his so called, sexy smiles.

Kagome was speechless, Why is he so nice to me, I don't even like him in that way.

"Finally! Were here! Which hotel are we staying in mom?" InuYasha couldn't wait to settle in then go look for Kagome.

"In Suzuki."

When they arrived, InuYasha quickly ran up the stairs and bumped into a girl that had a familiar scent. "Oh! Sorry sir!" she apologized.

"Kagome?"

She stared at him, then confused, "Do I know you?"

InuYasha quickly held her, he gasped, "Kagome! It's me, InuYasha! I came back!"
