Oh, how short things are! K, this is my second chapter. Just dun kill me!
Kkk? Merci!
One more thing, PLZ R&R! I mean it.
Kagome woke up. She forgot how long she slept, but when she was awoke, she got a better look at the man that was her kidnapper. He had scars on his cheeks that resemble scratch marks. Kagome started with surprise.
'You are a demon!' she cried. He examined his fingernails in a posh way.
'You have finally noticed, not really dumb, human,' Kagome was so angry that she could have kicked him, but she never did that to strangers.
'Here we are,' they were parked in front of a gigantic mansion of which Kagome instantly identify. It was the house of one of the richest people in the states. The man got off the limousine and started to drag her towards the house but seemed to remember his manners in time.
'Please forgive my rudeness,' he stood in front of the door and allowed his butler to open it for him.
'Inuyasha, call him here,' he said.
Inuyasha was lying on his bed as usual, bored to death. There was a knock on his door. Inuyasha scowled at the butler of whom he had kicked earlier that day. The butler, who was not really eager to be beat up again, crawled in with his knees trembling. Inuyasha lifted him up with his foot.
'What do you want?' he demanded. The butler crouched on the floor.
'Master Tako wants you.' he said, trembling from head to toe. Inuyasha immediately got up. His father was one of the few people he respected, apart from his brother. Shoving the nosy butler out of the door, he flung on some clothes and headed down the stairs.
Inuyasha was in for a nasty surprised when he opened the front door. There, standing on his doorstep was Kikyou. Well, not Kikyou, but a girl who had the same eyes as his last playmate. Inuyasha stood stunned at the door. Kagome stared at Inuyasha, hard. Without thinking, Inuyasha reached out his hand, as if to slap the memory away from him. He did. Well, he did the slap part. Unfortunately, the image didn't go away. It stood there, as solid as rock.
Kagome put her hand to her cheek, momentarily touching the bruise that Inuyasha had just given her. Then, her shock was replaced by anger. How dare this stranger slap her!
Mr. Tako was equally stunned. Although he was violent, he never slapped perfect strangers. Kagome narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha angrily. Inuyasha was taken aback back at her reaction to his slap. Kikyou would have just slapped him right back. Frowning, he pushed the thought to the back of his brain. He never liked Kikyou, she was just a friend, but losing even a friend was painful. He closed his eyes in horror and then opened them again, wishing with all his might that this twin of Kikyou's would just disappear. But Kagome just stood there, glaring up at him with utmost fury.
Suddenly, as if by a miracle, his mother's voice drifted from her resting place.
'Is the new girl here yet?' she asked, giving Kagome what she thought was the brightest smile. Then, her eyes flickered to her husband.
'How did you bring Kikyou from the dead?' she asked. Mr. Tako looked sheepish.
'I didn't exactly raise Kikyou from the dead,' he said. Then, with a sheepish expression, he leaned forward and whispered something into her ear.
'YOU WHAT?' Mrs Tako's usually calm face was contorted with fury. Kagome crossed her fingers behind her back. Maybe she'll let me go home, she thought hopefully.
'Well, she looked like Kikyou, and well, Kikyou died and erm...' Mr. Tako's stammering did little to help with his speech. Inuyasha whirled around, trying the best he can to not glare at his father.
'Kikyou... is dead. No one can replace her,' was all he got out and stormed up the stairs. A maid was in his room, cleaning it.
'GET OUT!!! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!' he screamed at her. The maid immediately bowed and left the room.
Meanwhile, Kagome's hopes were rising. Maybe, they might let her go home. She crossed her fingers tightly behind her back.
'Well, I suppose she could stay,' Mrs Tako said. Kagome sagged against her couch.
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo! She thought. Let me go! She wanted to box the woman's ears.
'Sango, please lead Kagome to Kikyou's old room,' said Mr Tako getting up and leaving. Kagome scowled at his retreating back. Sango pulled on her sleeve.
'Will you come with me now?' she asked impatiently. Kagome sighed. Say goodbye to my freedom days, she thought sadly.
Sango lead Kagome into a room with pictures of mikos everywhere. Kagome stared at everything in wonder. There were wardrobes full of clothes. Everything was in order as if a person had been living in there. Nothing was taken away. Even the dust stayed on the very books that were laid out on the desk. Kagome took out an album and began flicking through the pictures. She looked at one picture in surprise, Inuyasha was standing next to a girl, and that girl was... Kagome squinted at the picture.
No, it can't be, but it is. The girl was her.
Kagome dropped the album as if it was poison. Inuyasha chose that moment to make his entrance into the room. He snatched the book off the floor and caressed it as if it were a long lost memory. He glared at Kagome.
'Don't you dare touch my books you bitch.' He snarled. Kagome tried to look unconcerned although she was quaking silently with fear.
'They aren't your books,' she replied. Inuyasha was tempted to slap her again, but saw the bruise that he had gave her earlier. That cheek that held the bruise looked so much like Kikyou's that he felt like a traitor.
'Here, let me help you with that bruise,' he said, almost gently and went to fetch some ice.
'Here,' Kagome took the ice pack from him, surprised.
'But don't think that little act could change my mind about you,' she said, although she was quite pleased to have the handsome hanyou waiting on her. Inuyasha scowled.
'I'm not doing it because I want to, it was because you looked so much like my old friend that I couldn't bear to see that bruise on your face ok?' he said angrily. Kagome thought that it would be best to get him out of the door – quick.
'Well, Inuyasha,' she said, feigning a sweet smile.
'I suppose I shall be seeing you later,' and with that, she slammed the door on his face.
Inuyasha fumed as he stomped back to his room. How DARE she slam the door in his face?
Meanwhile, Kagome was trying hard not to cry.
'Great Kagome,' she thought to herself.
'You just got kidnapped and you made quite a bad impression of yourself to the cutest guy you've seen so far.' She wanted to kick herself. Instead, she contented with punching her pillow.
'Kagome dear, dinner time!' Mrs Tako called from downstairs.
'Calling 'dear' already? Wow! That was fast, I never knew that I fitted in so nicely,' thought Kagome sarcastically as she lugged herself out of the room.
She nearly collided with Inuyasha, who was charging down the stairs.
'Watch where you're going! Bitch!' he yelled over his shoulder as he ran down. Kagome walked down the stairs, seething with anger.
'We'll never get along,' she thought sadly as she watched him sit down at the dining table.
'What would you like dear?' asked Mrs Tako. 'There is blood soup, deer's heart pie and...' Kagome pushed back against her chair. She didn't feel like eating all of a sudden. Mrs Tako smiled sympathetically.
'I know, you are human, not like my husband,' she said, 'Here, have a dumpling.' Kagome felt relief bubbling up inside of her.
'Thanks,' she said gratefully as she took the delicacy. She looked at Inuyasha from under her eyelashes. He was taking a large portion of blood soup and was eating some deer heart pie. Kagome felt like gagging.
Inuyasha looked at her light green face and sniggered. Kikyou and Kagome may look alike, but their personalities are like the sun and the moon. He waved a piece of deer heart in front of her nose, smirking as he did so. Kagome choked for a while and then glared at him.
'I'll show you,' she thought. She snatched the piece of heart from his hand and gulped it down with her eyes closed, trying hard not to taste it. When she reopened her eyes, Inuyasha was looking away. The maids and butlers were looking at her in amazement as she sank back against her chair, gagging hard. Mr. Tako lifted the napkin to his mouth, trying hard not to laugh. He didn't succeed and ended up laughed and spluttering. Mrs. Tako had her face creased in a light frown. Inuyasha bit his lip. The Dining room door banged open and his brother strode into the room.
'Sesshamarrou, you're late,' he said, trying hard to contain his laughter. Sesshamarrou raised an eyebrow.
'Did I miss anything?' he asked. Mr. Tako, who had finished laughing by now was shaking his head and beckoning Sesshamarrou to sit down.
Kagome looked at her plate and turned red from embarrassment. She bolted from the dining room and up the stairs.
Kagome pulled on her PJs and climbed into the huge bed in the moonlit bedroom. For a moment, she gazed outside. This is horrible, I'll never get to fit, she sighed as she sat down in the middle of the bed, looking out the window. Then, she realized something. Tomorrow was Monday, it was a school day, Kagome smiled, and then frowned. Would they even allow her to go to school? She lay back on the bed and with this thought, went to sleep.
the next day
'Kagome dear! Wake up darling!' Mrs Tako's voice, both sickly sweet and at the same time, sympathetic rang up the stairs, jolting Kagome out of her sound sleep. Kagome rushed to the drawer and retrieved some clothes. Then, she bolted to the washroom.
Inuyasha woke up at the sound of his mother's voice ringing up the staircase.
'Kagome? Why not me?' he wondered angrily as he took his clothes and ran to the washroom. The door wouldn't open. Inuyasha thought that a maid was in there at first an pounded on the door, all while shouting angrily.
'Get the hell out of there!' he called. Instead of a maid's voice, a shrill, angry sounding voice echoed through the spacious room.
'STOP IT! GO TO ANOTHER ONE OF YOU NEED TO!' Kagome shouted through the closed door.
'Why wouldn't he just understand me and be friends?' Kagome thought as she hurried out of the bath and changed into her new clothes, hurriedly brushing her hair and teeth at the same time. She ran out of the door, buttoning her blouse and running into Inuyasha.
Iuyasha saw a figure very much like Kikyou's running out of the room and immediately thought that she was alive again. But when he sniffed the air, he remembered that it was Kagome, not Kikyou. He snarled angrily at himself and dragged himself into the washroom. The first thing that hit him was the new smell that hung in there. It was like honey and jasmine at the same time. He scowled at the smell, it was too innocent, Kikyou's was much was spicier. Although he hated to admit it, he liked the smell – better than Kikyou's anyways. He quickly washed his face and headed down stairs.
Kagome sipped her coffee politely and dabbed at her lips. She glanced at Inuyasha, who had trudged downstairs with a muscular t-shirt and baggy pants. Suddenly, she wished that she had put something on that was more fashionable other than the flare pants she had found in the drawers and white top. Kagome shook her hair and decided to ask the question.
'Ummm...' she started.
'Can I? Erm...' she couldn't get the next words out. Inuyasha scowled at her as if saying, 'what an idiot you are' and spoke for her.
'She means, can she go to school, right?' he asked his parents. They nodded. Kagome took that as a yes and turned to smile a thankyou at the hanyou. Inuyasha shrugged it off as if were nothing and ate a doughnut.
'Kagome, darling, do walk to school with Inuyasha, he would like that.' Mrs Tako drawled out the word 'Darling'. Kagome grimaced silently.
'Yes,' she murmured. Inuyasha did grimace.
Kkk? Merci!
