Memories past

Chapter four:

A wet encounter

Kagome got up to her room finding Kikyo, sitting on her bed reading a mystery novel. Kikyo was so into her book that she didn't even notice anyone was walking in. Kagome made a mischievous face and slowly crept to her side. Kikyo had glasses that surrounded her brown eyes and scratched the tip of her nose. "No need Kayoko, I know you're here," she suddenly said that freaked Kagome out. Now the game was on her.

Kagome placed her hands on her hips. "If you knew then why didn't you call out?"

Kikyo closed her book and took her glasses off of her eyes. "Kayoko, I've known you for a while now, don't you think I know everything you do?"

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, that brings me about the time when Miroku..."

Suddenly Kikyo's face turned red. "He... uh..."

Kagome smirked. "And what was that?"

Kikyo sat up from her bed. "He... he... uh you know what, I uh gotta water the shoes... uh I mean flowers." She quickly ran out of the room. Kagome looked back to see if she really did go, but knowing Kikyo, she forgot her shoes. With one last glance, she lied down on her bed and laughed. "Of course you know Kikyo, all of us were there, you know, swimming and you know how he has a problem with 'tying' knots. And then all of a sudden, his trunks uh... appeared on top of the pool and..."

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" yelled Kikyo by the stair case blushing madly. "Don't ever bring that up again."

Kagome hugged her pillow tightly and giggled even more. "Hey, it's not my fault that Miroku didn't know how to swim then and held onto you tightly. Besides, we were only ten years old, no need to get embarrass."

Kikyo walked into the room, red as a tomato. "A girl at that age still has a reputation you know"

Kagome stopped laughing. "No I don't know."

Kikyo stuck out her tongue at her. "Well, I gotta go, Onigumo is taking me to dinner."

"Ok, lovebirds," Kagome cooed. "Have a nice time."

Kikyo gave Kagome an icy glare. "We're not a couple, it's just a friendly outing between friends."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Uh huh, then you won't mind another 'friend' would join you guys on a friendly outing?"

Kikyo crossed her arms. "You don't mean you do you?"

Kagome jumped up happily, clapping her hands. "Ding, ding, ding you've got it!"

Kikyo closed her eyes and gave out a big sigh. "Kayoko..." She opened her eyes again and saw Kagome sitting back down on her bed, reading the Japan Times.

"Have fun then," she instructed. "'member to be home by nine, ok young lady?"

Kikyo gave out a small giggle and then stood straight like a military cadet and answered, "Yes ma'am." And she went out the door.

Kagome gave out a depressing sigh. "I'm bored!" Right at that moment, her cell phone rang. She rumbled through her handbag and took out her cell phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Kayoko."

Kagome smiled. "Oh hey Kouga, what's up?"

"Uh you know boredom."

Kagome giggled. "You want to do anything?"

There was a short silence before he answered, "Want to go fishing by the lake at my house?"

"Sure," she replied. "I'll be right over."

"Ok, see ya then, bye."

"Bye."

.v.

"... My company is grateful for your offer, Mr. Tashio. We'll have our people call your people for further contract regulations."

Inuyasha nodded at the man's words. "I'll be waiting." They both handshake and Inuyasha escorted the two business man out of his office. Inuyasha sat back down on his chair and sighed. 'I need a break,' he thought in frustration. Just today, he had about five clients to talk to and it's just two o'clock. He stood up and took off his outer coat and swung it over his shoulder. He went out of his office and turned to his secretary. "Yura, I going out for a while, tell my clients to have the meetings another day."

Yura didn't protest but just nodded and answered. "Yes, Mr. Tashio." Taking one last glace at him she got back to work.

.v.

The water splashed at Kagome face in due of the slippery fish. "Ahh... Kouga get the basket."

Kouga held out the basket and she carefully placed the fish inside. "Wow Kayoko! This fish looks good enough to eat."

Kagome wrinkled her nose. "But the fish smell isn't inviting." She quickly swung her fishing pole into the lake and quietly waited. Kouga did the same.

At this silence, Kouga began a conversation. "So, how's work these past few days?"

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him. "It's that insolating manager of mine. The other day when I came to work, I was only like, one minute late and what does she do? Take ten percent off of my pay cheuqe. Who does she think she is?"

Kouga rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh... the manager?"

Kagome glared at him. "That's not what I meant."

Kouga just shrugged in response but then was distracted by a tug on his pole. Kagome jumped in surprise. "Oh, haul it in Kouga!"

Kouga pulled with all of his might and finally got the fish. Unfortunately, it was just a little trout. Kagome sweat dropped. "Uh... all that hauling for nothing."

Kouga had an embarrass look on his face. "How could a little guy like you, weigh so much?" He unhooked the fish and threw it back in the lake.

"Maybe you're just too weak," spoke Kagome, answering his question. "But it's okay. Not all men are strong."

Kouga huffed at her words. "Not strong? You could say I'm the strongest man alive." Showing off his muscles, what he wasn't ready for was the splash of water that was squirted to his face.

"Yeah, sure," cooed Kagome. "Whatever you say."

Kouga smirked. "That's right, whatever I say is true."

Kagome stuck out her tongue then gave out a small giggle.

.v.

Not far from where their playful conversation, Inuyasha stood by the railing looking out in the crescent lake. His hand held onto the half orb that cloaked around his neck. 'Kagome,' he thought. 'I'm sorry.' He felt as if it was his fault. Kagome and her mother were driving over to his house for his eighth birthday. Guessing that he wanted them to come earlier a few days was kind of greedy. It was his entire fault. If it wasn't for him, right now he and Kagome would be together.

He stared at the pink orb once again before a crow fluttered by, making him drop the necklace into the lake. "Damn that bird," he muttered. He took off his shoes and his silver watch to the ground. He slowly jumped over the railing and began looking for it.

.v.

After that small conversation, once again they began fishing. This practical moment wasn't here for long when Kagome notice a man not far from here, walking through the lake. "Oh my god! Kouga, look over there. The man is practically in suicide."

Kouga turned to his left. "Awe man, what does he think he's doing? Come on Kayoko." Kouga began approaching the side of the lake and called out to the man. "Hey, you there, what do you think your doing?" Kouga didn't get a response so he began tugging off his shoes and jumped into the flowing lake.

"Be careful Kouga," she advise him. Now, she could only stand and watch on land.

As Kouga approached the man, he called out, "What do you think your doing? Don't you know how deep this lake is?"

Inuyasha ignored him and continued looking for his childhood possession.

Kouga tried again. "Sir, please come out of this lake. It's not safe at all."

Inuyasha became paranoid and gave out a small growl. "Just get the hell away from me!"

Now Kouga was furious at the man's behavior. "I'm sorry if I have to do this but I have no choice. Kouga grabbed the man's shoulders and pulled to shore. The worst part was Inuyasha resisted and instead punched Kouga painfully on the face.

"I said 'GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" he screamed.

Kouga didn't response but pulled him with full force. "Didn't I just tell you that this place is dangerous? You could get killed."

Inuyasha growled at the man. "WHO FUCK'N CARES!"

Kouga gave a full blow punch at Inuyasha and swiftly swim to shore. He threw Inuyasha on the ground and huffed for air.

Inuyasha on the other hand, was seriously pissed. "Who do you think you are, you smelly wolf?"

Again, Kouga tried to keep his anger sustained but it didn't help. "Maybe I regret saving your useless life. Maybe I should of let you drown to your death!"

Kagome began kneeling down hearing the two men practically biting their heads off. "Would you two boys shut up! Both of you were just in a dangerous situation. I don't think now, is the time for arguing. Now let's all get back to the house and get all dried up."

Both Inuyasha and Kouga had kept their mouths shut from Kagome's lecture. Inuyasha cursed under his breath and stood up. Once Kagome had a good look at him, she gasped. "Mr. Tashio?"

Inuyasha stared at the girl. She looked fairly familiar. With chocolate brown eyes, long raven hair, then it snapped. "Oh yeah, you're the girl from my last convention. Seeing that you know who I am, I surly do want to get out of these wet clothes."

Kagome looked back at Kouga who was steaming up and then turned back to Inuyasha. "Uh... sure."

A/N: So there you have it, meeting once again! Now, surly they don't know 'actually' who their exactly are yet but yeah, that would come out later in the chapters. So I hope all of you would enjoy this chapter and I'll hear from all of you again. Later!
