Chapter Five

By: Mirei

Kagome's POV

It's been over five years since we left the Feudal Era. My father went back to the shrine and reopened it. I went off to Tokyo University and became deeply involved with Business Applications. I soon found this as my major. I also did want to take a Psychology class but they were filled. The first two years were the hardest. I missed them all dearly and I still do. You might be wondered what exactly I'm doing right now. Well I'm sitting in my large office waiting for my secretary to buzz in my next client. I run many corporate conglomerates. I thought that it would be difficult but when I couldn't handle being an intern anymore I took action and used what money I had saved up. I placed my part of the money in the bank, what with interest it all doubled by the third year. I used part of that to begin my own business. It only took a year and a half to become well known. In case you where wondering we sell computers nationwide and provide help to those who call the hotline. But then I also owned my own record label. That was an accident. A friend of mine told me that he wanted to give up it so that he could go and relax and start a whole new carrier. I took the record label and found many talents out there. But you see when we got back I had changed my name a little. I'm now known as Komee Hisha. My father's idea. I was the only one to change my first name also. He kept his name, Onigumo and Souta kept his as well. I just wanted a new start. I went out and got an all new wardrobe and a hair cut. Not too much was removed but enough to make me feel different. I got my own house but I was only a few houses from dad. I couldn't leave him or Souta, who still remained with dad at the shrine. They still refer to me as Kagome as well as my old friend but at work and on my check book it says 'Hisha, Komee'. I still talk to Hojo, who worked in the building next to mine. Coincidence no? We eat lunch together and then car pool sometimes. He's been itching me meet some of the guys he works with but I'm not sure about it. Oh well I have to get back to work one of my new singers just walked in.

End of POV


"Please Maru; please you guys have to meet this girl. She's beautiful, smart, funny and just perfect." Hojo begged his friends.

"Hey bro why don't we meet with her, she does own that building next to this one and a record label. She must be intelligent enough to do all of that and still be, how old is she?" said Maru's brother.

"Twenty-six. I've known her since we were kids. I asked her out a lot in high school but she always seemed sick, she missed most of high school." He looked down as if sad about something.

"What is her name again?" asked Maru (A/N: You know who that is right? Sesshomaru! Yasha is InuYasha.)

"She goes by Komee Hisha, but that isn't her real name. She told me that she didn't want to be known as her old self so I never speak her real name unless I'm with her." Maru and Yasha looked at each other in confusion.

"Why did she change her name?" Yasha asked.

"It was her father's idea I guess and she agreed with his decision. For a long as I've known her I never thought she had a father. Well everyone has a father but I'd never met the man when I visited her. She said that he usually was away on business. Hardly home I guess."

"Why don't we go out to dinner tonight? I'll bring a few of our friends as well. Then we shall see this girl that you speak of." Hojo's phone rings.

"Oh hey I was just talking about you. No nothing bad I promise. Yeah I'll meet with you now. Usual place right? No, you want to discuss something with me? Is it about the new contract with that kid again? Oh no it isn't okay well I'll meet you at the coffee place in an hour then. Sure no problem, yeah okay bye." He hung up the phone. "She said that there's something she needs to talk to me about. I'll ask her about dinner when I go meet her."

"We should be getting back to work." Said Maru.


"Thanks for meeting me here Hojo I really appreciate it."

"No problem, so what's up?"

"You won't believe this but Souta's getting married." She smiled.

"No way that little guy found a girl?"

"Yeah and the weird thing is that her name is Rin. I know that name is common but it has to be a coincidence."

"Rin? Wait a minute what's her last name?"

"I think her last name is Tasho or something like that."

"No way! My friend has a daughter by the name of Rin and his last name is Tasho. This is crazy."

"Yeah I know. Does your friend know that my brother's going to be marrying his daughter?"

"I don't think that she's told him yet."

"Souta called me before I called you and told me that he had asked her and she said yes."

"Maybe if we invited them tonight then they'll announce it."

"Invited them to what?" She gave him a suspicious look.

"Well my friends want to meet you and so I thought that you might want to come out to dinner tonight."

"I have a better idea, why don't you have everyone come to my house. I could have dad help me out with dinner and then we could have like a big family gathering sort of thing. I just had my place remodeled and decorated."

"Sure, I'll make sure to tell the guys. They said that they were going to invite a few of their friends."

"How many are we talking? I want to make sure to make enough."

"Let's see I think about five or six of my friends are attending."

"Okay, counting you, me, my dad, Souta, and Rin as well. Alright then I should go home and get ready." She jumped up from her seat and dashed out of the house. Hojo returned to work and found Yasha and Maru in his office.

"So did she propose?" Joked Yasha.

"No but plans have changed. She wants to make dinner for everyone. So call up your friends and bring them over. Here is the address. She just became so happy about the whole thing that I just agreed."

"So what did she want to talk with you about?" asked Maru in monotone.

"Well that'll have to wait until tonight. Trust me you won't believe it." Maru looked at him with question. What did he mean by that?


Kagome ran around her house trying to figure out what to cook. Her father came over and could have laughed at the whole scene before him.

"Kagome dear why are you in such a fret?" She looked up to see her father standing there.

"Hey dad, I have to cook this big dinner, I think that if we invited over Rin's father then they might announce their engagement."

"So her father doesn't know yet. This night should be interesting." He father laughed a little. "I'll go get the door okay and you just work on this." He left the kitchen and she finally figured out what she was doing. Once everything was where it should be she began to start of the dessert. She started to sing to herself as she placed the crust on the top. "You love me but you don't know who I am. I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand." She started to hum. Someone had stepped into the kitchen but she didn't realize it. "Dad could you take this please?" She didn't turn around but pointed to the bowl on the counter.

"Why don't you take it yourself?" Came a deep voice from behind her. She turned around and her eyes widened. But then she realized that is was wishful thinking. The man that stood only a few feet from her had short black hair with amber eyes. She sighed and went back to cooking. She couldn't sense anything different about him, except that he seemed to have the ability to suppress his energy. His voice sounded so much like…but no it couldn't have been. She could feel his anger at being ignored. Then someone else enters the kitchen. He also had short black hair and amber eyes. They must have been brothers. The shorter on looked shocked to see her for some reason.

"If you two aren't going to help then why don't you place yourself somewhere else, like the living room?" They could here the agitation in her voice. "Wait," She turned around and walked towards them. "I'm sorry for my rudeness, who are you two anyway?" They looked at each other and then at her and the shorter guy started to grin. She didn't like where this was going at all.

"Yasha stop it now, this is most impolite of you." The taller guy said to the shorter guy who obviously was his brother. Kagome didn't know what to feel at this point. Then his name registered in her mind. Yasha? That sounded a lot like InuYasha. She shook her head and tried to forget about her past with them. The taller guy looked back at her and looked into her eyes. For some reason this caused her to have flashbacks of the same eyes on a certain Lord.

"I'm Yasha and this ass hole is my older brother Maru. He doesn't like to talk much though."

"If he doesn't want to talk then it's his decision, but you guys need to go so I can finish cooking. Hojo and the other people will be here soon."

"They have arrived already. Komee is it." Said Maru looked at her strangely.

She seemed quite startled at first. For some reason he knew something that she didn't and she didn't like that feeling at all. "Yes that is correct. So then let's go into the living room and greet these people that Hojo has invited. She walked between the two brothers into the living room. The looked at each other.

"She has no clue does she?" asked Yasha. Maru just gave him a look of irritation. "I know of Hojo because she often mentioned him. But it seems as though he hasn't led us to her quite yet. Maybe we should see how she reacts to the others.

"Yes we shall. Let us make our presence known to the others." Maru stated and led his brother into the living room. They could hear her gasp as she entered the room.

A/N: I couldn't resist the temptation to leave the story hanging a little. Enjoy what is to come! Love you all a lot!
