Love is Never Easy: Chapter 9
More Info For Inu and Rin and Sessy Make Their Appearance
Gossip spread as people walked away. "Kikyo's got something up her sleeve." Sango said looking over to Inuyasha. "What should we do?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha folded his arms. "You think you two can handle keeping an eye on her while I go watch over Kagome? There something strange going on, and I'm not just talking about her attitude and I'm gonna find out what." They both nodded, spying on Kikyo and catching her was always good fun for them. Inuyasha leaped off. He was headed home then to Kagome's. he had to get some advice though and he was hoping a certain someone was home. And Miroku and Sango went to go get some spying equipment from... guess where?... that's right...Miroku's house.

Kagome and Aya appeared in her living room. "Oh that was great.", Kagome said in between laughs," You knew just what would scare her off. You always have the best ideas Aya." "Ya well there's no point in fighting her when she's not ready, that would just be a waste of both our time. And personally I would like to see her destroyed when she has something she can hold against you." "So what do you think she's going to pull on Monday?" Aya smirked, "Only one way to find out." Kagome smirked but frowned, "I think we should wait, I mean, I can take anything she throws at me, and I don't want to attract too much attention. Let's just go to work."
"Aw, okay...but can we spy on that boyfriend of yours. I think he recognized me today." Kagome nodded as she stood up and grabbed a coat, "What was with that whole floating thing anyways." "...Don't know." Aya smiled evilly, "But it was fun to see him wig out for a second. "Ya ya."

"So why do you have all this stuff?" "Umm...no reason?" *Slap* "perve" "what was that for Sango dear?" "For being a fuckin' leacher and don't call me dear!" Sango and Miroku were going through boxes that were laid out in various spots in Miroku's room. "Would you believe they were my fathers?" "Shut up and keep on searching! We still have to track down Kikyo after this." "No problem here's a tracking device and a tracker. ... Oh! And here's the walkie-talkie wrist watch and the ear peice. And my high definition binoculars." Sango glared at him. "Bird watching. I swear!" "Bird watching my ass." "Which is quite lovely." *grope, grope* *SLAP!* "Stupid lecher. Let's just grab this stuff and get going."
Miroku and Sango picked up a couple of boxes and headed out to Miroku's car. "So where do you think she is?" "Well being a girl myself and knowing Kikyo, and seeing as how its around 3:30 and she just backed out of a fight and postponed it...I'd said at the salon getting a mani/pedi." And Sango's assumption had been correct, they arrived at the salon to find Kikyo torturing the girls inside. "I'll handle this." Miroku said as he got out of the car and grabbed a tracker before he left. He walked inside and up behind Kikyo. 'What's he doing?' thought Sango. 'I can't believe I'm doing this.' thought Miroku. One ear-piercing shriek and slap later miroku stepped out of the salon with a red-hand mark on his cheek and a grim look on his face.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you did that." Sango said as he got back into the car. "It's almost enough to make me swear off woman...almost." Sango just shook her head and chuckled. "Come on Miroku, let's just get back to work." Miroku and Sango spent the greater part of their afternoon and evening following Kikyo, bugging her house, and hacking into her cell phone calls. So far, nothing. The got a call around 7:30, it was Inuyasha. "Ya, what do you want?" Sango asked. Got anything yet? ( other side of phone conversation) "Nope. She has just made a few phone calls to her friends, bought some makeup and junk, nothing out of the ordinary. She's heading home and we already bugged her house so we were just gonna go set up base at Miroku's house." Okay, my mom's dragging me off to some restaurant to night, but give me a call on my cell if you get anything. "Okay we'll let you know." Sango hung up her cell. "Hey Miroku. You really think she's gonna pull something." "Well she's has already thrashed her rep by backing out today. She needs to do something to rebuild it, and she can only do that by beating Kagome." "Ya...I guess so."
*With Inuyasha*
"Mom I have things I need to take care of, I don't have time to go out to dinner." "Humor me and your father Inuyasha." she said as she got out of the car and walked next to her husband with Inuyasha trailing into the restaurant. "I've always wanted to go here and I heard they had the best service, and the prettiest waitresses." Inuyasha merely "feh"'d "The only one I think is pretty is Kagome." he mumbled to low for his mom to hear, but his father heard and smirked.
The sat down at a booth. "Oh, this place is adorable!" "Aiko, Calm down." "Your not much better Nishi." Inuyasha folded his arms and mumbled something about embarrassing parents. Service was fast, their food came about ten minutes after they ordered which was surprising seeing as how this place was packed and their wasn't many waitresses. Inuyasha wasn't really hungry though since his mind kept on drifting to Kagome and what that girl said earlier, and the fact that she was there with Kagome. Kagome must know her which confirmed that the girl also had miko powers. 'But what did she mean. Kagome doesn't trust me because of something that happened, but she loves me. So I have to gain her trust...but how? If only I can figure out what happened, then I could fix this and Kagome can go back to being Kagome.'
Aiko looked sympathetically at her son. She knew what was wrong, she knew how to fix it, but she couldn't interfere. How did she know? She had ran into Aya who felt obligated to tell her. Aiko understood, she was there, at the temple visiting when it happened, but she would have never guessed that Kagome's family could up and leave. She turned to her husband. "Isn't their anything we can do dear?", she whispered to him. "Calm yourself Aiko. The boy needs to figure this out for himself. We knew there was bound to be problems with him getting involved with such a strong one, and we both know this is only the beginning. But he has to get through these obstacles on his own." he whispered back. Inuyasha looked at his parents. "What are you two whispering about?" "Oh...nothing.", they answered in unison.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the two, but turned away. Then he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. 'Orange?' He looked at the door in the back that said 'employees only' and say a girl with orange hair enter carrying a tray. 'It was that girl, I know it.' "Umm..excuse me, I'll be right back." Inuyasha got up and hurried to the bak. He looked through the circle window in the door. 'It is her...opps.' Inuyasha ducked away as he saw her turn and head this way. When she came out he was standing right in her way. "You!" "Eep." She turned to head back inside the kitchen but was stopped. "Would you mind giving me an explanation?" "Do I have a choice?" "Nope." Aya sighed.
"Aya, what's the hold up?" Kagome walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray filled with food. "Inuyasha!" Kagome leaped slightly in her surprise and dropped the tray. The three watched as it feel to the ground but was stopped, re-collected, and put back in Kagome's hand. "You should be more carefully Kagome." Kagome looked past Inuyasha to see another girl standing there. "Heh *sweatdrop* thanks Sakura." "No prob, just stopped blocking the way to the kitchen." All three sweat drop and backed away into another hallway.
"What is going on here?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome stepped in to explain, "While its true their aren't many mikos, those that do exist band together after leaving the temple so we are never alone since we tend to be shunned by most of society. Places are set up where we can work together, this restaurant for example." "That explains everything. Anyways, we need to talk Kagome." Kagome sighed, "can we do this later Inuyasha? I'm sort of working." "Stop avoiding me Kagome, I'm serious." "So am I!" Inuyasha phone rang, it was Sango. "Ya Sango." Inuyasha we got something. She met with a guy named Naraku. "Naraku." Kagome dropped her tray and it landed with a loud clatter and dishes breaking. Inuyasha, what was that? "Nothing. Hey I'm in the middle of something here. Can you tell me the rest tomorrow?" Umm. sure, I have it recorded. "great." Inuyasha hung up is phone and looked up. "Huh? Where's Kagome?" "She had to leave." Aya said then turned to leave. "Hey! What a minute? Why?" Aya closed her eyes and sighed, "Your getting close Inuyasha. But at the moment it's too close for Kagome." Aya walked off leaving him standing there.
Inuyasha walked back to the table and sat down just as his fathered got the bill. "Hey mom?" "Yes dear?" "Have you ever heard of a guy named Naraku?" Aiko's face went pale. "Inuyasha...where did you hear that name?", his father asked. Inuyasha explained to his parents about that afternoon, Sango and Miroku, and his run in with Kagome. "So then Sango called and said Kikyo was talking with some guy named Naraku. Kagome freaked out and disappeared and Aya said something about how I was getting close but maybe too close." They had just arrived home as Inuyasha finished his story. His mom and dad looked at each other. "How do you suppose Kikyo knows him?", Aiko asked her husband. "I'm not sure, but then again I don't know everything." "Will you two please tell me what the hell is going on?!" "Lets go inside.", Nishi said.
Inuyasha sighed and followed his parents inside their house and they sat down in the living room. Aiko and Nishi sat on the couch and Inuyasha sat in a chair across from them. "Earlier I had a run in with Aya and she told me that something happened at the temple and when Kagome got home that 'impaired' her ability to trust. Then Sango finds out that Kikyo knows some guy named Naraku and everybody is freaking out at his name. So will someone tell me what is going on?" His parents glanced at each other once more. "Son, Naraku is an incredible strong, sly, and tricky demon that was once human. And he is a shape-shifter because his body is made up of many demons. That's just about all I know.", his father said.
Inuyasha nodded and glanced to his mother. "Do you know anything?" "Uh...heh...well...look at the time....I should get to bed. See you both in the morning." Aiko hurried out before either of the two could say a thing. Inuyasha merely huffed and glared at his father. "We should be getting to bed as well." Nishi hurried out of the room and Inuyasha sat there for a moment. 'Dad knows more, mom knows something, and Kikyo's up to something. Kagome must have had a run in with this Naraku guy that no one wants to tell me about though I have every right to know...maybe Rin can give me some advice.'
Inuyasha stood up and walked down one of the many corridors in this house. Okay, it wasn't actually a house, it was a mansion. His father was head of Takashi Co. Which manufactured just about anything. There wasn't anything in Tokyo now-a-days that didn't have his name on it. Which is why Kikyo was all over him, she wanted his money. Sango, Miroku, and now Kagome were the only ones that were ever around him without wanting something. His stopped at a door and knocked. "Who is it?" a sweet voice sounded inside. "It's me Rin." He could hear footsteps and then the door opened. "Inuyasha, what a surprise. I hardly see you anymore since I heard Kagome came back." Inuyasha looked at her, she was also similar to Kagome. Brown round eyes with long black hair, but she always wore a smile on her face and her eyes were of innocence. She was his older brother's fiancé, and how such an arrogant, self-centered, cold hearted guy like Sesshomaru could be engaged to a pretty, hyper, innocent, warm, free-spirited girl like Rin was beyond him. "Ya, about Kagome...can I come in?" Rin turned serious and nodded stepping aside to let Inuyasha in closing the door behind him.
Twenty minutes later Inuyasha had explained everything to Rin who had so far just sat there and listened. That's what he liked about Rin, he could talk to her without getting sympathy or the cold shoulder. "Inuyasha, it sounds liek to me that this Naraku had a very serious effect on Kagome. I don't know what happened, nor have I heard of him. I don't think anyone's really told you anything because they all feel that Kagome should be the one to tell you, but for her to tell you she would have to trust you and you can't gain her trust without knowing. It's really one big circle." Inuyasha sighed and looked down to the ground. "So it's hopeless?" "Not nessecarily." Inuyasha's ear perked. "You can approach this one of two ways. You can either find out what happened when she got home which might give you some idea of what's going on because it sounds like whatever happened at home and at the temple are closely related. Or you can wait till moday in which this Naraku guy should make an appearance if he is doing a favor for Kikyo. You should do the second thing anyways just to make sure because it sounds like Naraku can stand up to Kagome's abilities. But its your choice." Inuyasha nodded and said his thanks, that was another thing eh liked about Rin, she was smart.
He got up and opened the door where his brother was standing. Inuyasha nodded to his brother and left to go to his room. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at his brother then looked at Rin. "He was seeking advice Sessy." Sesshoumaru nodded. "Hey, can you do me a favor?" Rin asked. "Anything." "I need to speak with Kagome Higarshi." "You mean the wench my brother is dating." Rin glared at him, "Watch what you saw, and yes, her. I'd like to know more about what's going on so I need to speak to her directly. But not now, wait till tomorrow after school." Sessy sighed and nodded, "Fine, I'll get her for you." Rin smiled and pecked him on the lips. "Thankyou."
