Revenge is Sweet

Chapter 3

AN: Okay, let's just say I haven't updated this story in forever. It didn't go over very well, and once Love That Dog became quite popular among my fics, I just sort of focused more on that than this story. Because there are those of you out there who like this story, I decided to post a new chapter just for you! ) Sorry for not updating in such a long time! TT I'm such a bad author. :chops off her head:

A while later, I made sure no one was listening, and I started to talk to myself just above a whisper, "That sucker Tatewagi. He's a fool to think that I could ever like him! What an idiot!"

A figure walked up behind me. "Kagome? What are you talking about?"

I threw her hands over her mouth and turned around to see Inu Yasha.

Crap! Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!

This had been really bad, no it had been worse than bad.

I had scratched the back of my head with one hand while I waved my other hand in front of my face. "Oh nothing, nothing! I uh… was talking about some guy I met at the store the other day, real stupid fellow." Oh yeah… like he will believe that.

To my surprise he did. "Yeah, there are quite a few people who are just plain stupid, they can't realize the obvious."

I let out a heavy sigh. This guy definitely did not seem like the Inu Yasha I used to know, was he actually serious when he said he used to like me back in high school? I guess it's possible for him to have liked me, but then why would he set me up with all of those other people…? Oh well, I must get back down to earth or he will think that I am nuts or something.

The reunion carried on for around another three hours before I began to bored. I had talked to everyone that I had wanted to talk to. It was supposed to last until late in the evening, but I had nothing left to do.

"Hey Inu Yasha, I'm getting sort of bored here, and I'm on call tonight, so I better get home." Okay, so it was a lie, I had the night off, but I just needed an excuse to get out of this awful place. I really did not feel like talking to Inu Yasha anymore.

His reaction didn't surprise me with the way he had been acting recently. Inu Yasha's eyes looked sad for a moment, until they began happy again as he smiled at me. "Well, that's alright. Hey, would you mind giving me your number? I thought maybe we could go out on a date sometime."

What a nice guy, too bad I abhorred him. Even though I really didn't want to give him my phone number, I searched through my purse to find a pen and scratch piece of paper. I scribbled my number sloppily down onto the paper. For a moment I just stared at the number and realized something. This was the first time in my life that a guy asked me for my phone number.

It never really occurred to me before that never had I given a male my phone number, and no one had ever called be or even asked me to go out on a date with them. My college life had been so busy that I never took the time to get a real love life started. Was this a bad thing? Maybe I was mentally ill, or had some other rare disease cast on me. The only thing I knew was that if I had a rare disease, it was going to be short lived.

That day was turned out to be one of the best and worst days of my life. The bad was that I had to spend an entire day with Inu Yasha, the good was that I had the most perfect plan to totally pay him back for what he did to me. From that day on, I knew that life was going to be anything but average.

1 Week later. Higurashi Mansion.

"Mom! Are you going to get that? My phone isn't in my room!"

I grumbled, getting off of the couch slowly, my feet hurt and I thought my head was going to explode. Less than five hours before that, I had just gotten off the graveyard shift working on some stupid case that we've been working on for the past six months. There were many positives and negatives with my job, but this had to be one of the worst.

Somehow I managed to walk over to the small nightstand next to my king-sized bed. My hand gentle grasped the cool dark plastic, and I quickly brought it to my ear, knowing that it was on one of its last rings. "Moshi moshi, Higurashi residence."

"Kagome? Is that you?"

I cringed; it was Inu Yasha, the last person who I wanted to talk to at that point. I was dead and I knew I would end up saying something that would totally screw everything over, but I knew at that point, there was no turning back. "Inu Yasha! How good it is to hear from you so soon!" My voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Are you alright?" He asked me. "You sound really bad, well not bad, but you just sound tired."

I lied, "No, I'm fine, just didn't get much sleep last night." I didn't sleep at all last night, it was currently three in the after noon and I had only been sleeping two hours. "So, why did you call me?"

There was a few moments of silence on the other line before I finally heard he speak again. "Well, you see I was wondering if you would like to go to the grand opening of the new Japanese Modern Art Museum (I just made that up, if it does exist, I don't own it). I donated a lot of money toward the creation of it and I'm on the board of representatives for all of the Japanese art museums. They gave me two tickets, and I was wondering if you would like to go."

That was a good question, would I like to go? The truthful answer from normal me, the one who still hated Inu Yasha with a passion would be no, but since I was playing the role of this new Kagome who forgave Inu Yasha in an instant, I knew what my answer was going to have to be. "Sure Inu Yasha, when is it?"

"Well, that's the thing," He paused again, this frightened me, "You see, its tonight at 7 PM, I know it's last minute, but it took be all this past week to work up enough courage to call and ask you."

For a moment there, I was actually a bit touched. When was the last time a guy called me and actually had to work up the courage to do it for an entire week. I thought on it, never. I had a feeling these next few months were going to be a year of firsts. As much as I just really wanted to lie back down on my couch and fall asleep, I knew that if I didn't go on this date, then I would probably end up rejecting all of the other ones. "Sure, I worked last night, I take it that its formal attire?"

"Yes, I'll be at your house around six fifteen, is that okay with you?"

"Yup, I'll see you then."

We said our goodbyes and hung up the phone.

It was three thirty; I only had two hours and fourty-five minutes until he was going to be here. That meant I could get another fourty-five minutes to a half and hour of sleep and still have enough time to get ready. I thanked god and slowly walked back to my couch to catch a few more moments of sleep.

Two Hours Later

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, then I remembered that I had to go on a date with Inu Yasha. Yuck, I just got up from a nice two hour nap and now I had to get ready to go to some stupid grand opening of some stupid art museum.

Two hour nap…

..Wait a minute, what time was it?

My eyes shot over to my alarm clock and I practically fainted. "CRAP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, I only had fourty-five minutes to get ready for this blasted date! I overslept by two hours! That was ridiculous. I should have turned my alarm clock.

The door to my room flew open and I saw Sae run into my room. "Are you okay? I could hear you scream all the way downstairs."

I ran over to my daughter and grabbed her shoulders which made me receive a mixed expression from her face. "Please Sae, you must help me, I'm desperate, I'll do anything!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" A look of concern spread across my daughter's face, I knew that I shouldn't have overacted to the situation as much as I did.

"I need to get ready for a formal gather in less than fourty five minutes!"

Sae rolled her eyes. "Figures, one of these days your going be screaming when it's something really important and I'm not going to come because I think your lying."

I got down on my knees and began to beg. "Please! I beg of you!"

She let out a reluctant sigh and nodded her head. "Alright, alright, I'll go warm up the curling iron and ironing board; you go find a dress to wear." I owed her big time, but what could I give to a child that basically had everything.

Somehow I actually managed to get ready early, which was odd for me, if I was the director of my workplace, I would definitely have been fired by now, if there is one thing I can't do it's being on time.

The door bell rang.

He was here.

It was time.

TBC!

Yeah really crappy ending I know, the next chapter will be better.

Its short, but I just wanted to let you people know I'm still writing this! I am so sorry! I feel so bad for not updating in over year. I got so distracted with Love that Dog, I promise more stories soon.
