Chapter 13- The Weeks After
Akira died two days later; he lived a day longer then the doctors had thought. Everything on his list was completed, all but one thing.
See my father again. His father didn't come when his son needed him most.
His funeral was in a few hours and already Kagome, Sango and Miroku seemed zapped of all energy from loss of their friend.
Kagome sat and stared at herself in the mirror. She wore a black dress, nothing special, just a simple plain black dress.
She then walked over to her closet and took out a black pair of heeled shoes. Kagome was asking along with a few other people to go to the club and wait Akira's mother to read Akira's will, in which he wrote off into the hospital. Then everyone was to go to this funeral. Kagome sighed and decided it was time to go.
Kagome stared out to the other end of the stage where some of Akira's co-workers and close family was. Everyone looked so sad. Miroku was silent since Akira died; they were friends for the longest time ever.
Sango had been crying for a long time and her make-up was badly smudged. While Kagome was just depressed, she didn't smile, not speak, there wasn't ever much for her to say.
Finally Akira's mother arrived and held a piece of paper with her. She walked towards the crowd of people. She stopped. "This is Akira's last wishes, so please I ask that no one gets angry with that someone who gets something better then other."
Then she opened the piece of folded paper; she then started. "First Akira wants his friends and co-workers to be covered."
After she found her spot, she started, "To Miroku, Akira left you his CD collection you admired so much and you get 5% of his share of the family fortune that he owned." (His CD collection is worth about $3000 Canadian)
Miroku didn't look too happy, he seemed to not even want to be there at that moment, just like everybody else.
"To Sango, Akira leaves you his apartment in the Tokyo Palace Apartment building, everything paid for, so not rent to worry about, also 5% of his shares."
Sango too didn't look to impress with what she relieved, she only y wanted to dear friend back. "Kagome gets half the club to run and %% of Akira's family shares."
Kagome felt sick, Akira was leaving his friends things he thought that they'd want, but the truth be told, they only wanted him.
"And then to Sesshomaru, a good friend and good co-worker at Akira's club, he will get the other half of the club."
Kagome and her friend's eyes looked up to see Sesshomaru who sat in the corner of the club. He looked emotionless as usual, but there was a hint of sadness there. (Akira and Sesshomaru weren't lovers; they were just good friends.)
"Okay, now onto family members, to me he has left..." Akira's mother stopped reading and her mouth dropped open. "He...left me 75% of his families shares."
The room was now full of mumbles and whispers, until a man Kagome knew as Akira's father stood. "Kano, what has my son left me if he has given you so much."
Akira's mother read on to try and find the part her ex-husband was looking for. "It says that...if you didn't come to see Akira before he died...then...he leaves nothing to you, or your side of the family. If you had, then he would have left everything else." (Ouch, hehe that bastard deserved it)
Kagome slept most of the weekend away. What else was there to do? The club wasn't going to be open again until next week.
And next weekend was going to be the St-Valentine's weekend, the club was going to be crazy. Not to mention she had a date with Inu-Yasha that night. They were going out to dinner.
He had refused to tell her where, so she didn't know what to wear. She decided on a white blouse and dress pants. It was casual yet good enough for a fancy dinner.
They had gone to a casual/fancy restaurant. It was such a restaurant where you could dress in jeans and order a fancy meal for nothing.
Kagome liked the place, she liked Inu-Yasha's choice in dinning. She reminded herself to tell him that someday.
They had ordered there dinner almost immediately after they got there. Inu-Yasha had ordered a Chinese's dish, while Kagome had got a Korean seafood dish. The food was ready quickly, Kagome and Inu-Yasha continued there conversation.
"So your brother, Sesshomaru was friends with Akira for a while right," Kagome said.
"Well they've known each other since Akira opened the club. His band played there, that was back when they had a different bass player," Inu-Yasha explained.
"Yeah, I remember them playing at the club every week," Kagome said. "They've been at the club longer then me."
Kagome and Inu-Yasha left the restaurant after they paid the bill. They had walked half a block when Inu-Yasha had gotten an idea.
"You want to what?!" Kagome freaked. "You know I'm scared of heights."
"Don't you trust me?" he grinned at her.
"Not with that evil grin of yours," she shot back with a smile.
"Then I'll prove myself to you," he said, the next thing she knew she was in his arms and Inu-Yasha was jumping from roof to roof.
"Inu-Yasha," she shrieked as she grabbed onto his jacket.
"Don't worry I'm not going to drop you," he said. "I'd be crazy to drop someone as pretty as you."
Kagome flushes and refused to let her eyes met his, if she did she knew she'd blush harder. Yet why was she feeling like this, she shouldn't have feelings like these. Not for him.
"You shouldn't be embarrassed," he said. "Especially when it's only the truth." He stopped on a building and set her down.
Kagome looked out at the view, "Oh my..."
"You like it? I found this view when I had a fight with my brother when I was a kid," he smiled. Kagome realized just how much she liked his smile.
The view had continued to keep Kagome stunned. All the lights on Tokyo tower and the buildings around it were all lit. It was amazing.
"I never knew that the city looked like this from above the ground," Kagome gasped when she looked at how high up they were.
"You still don't trust me," he said, in a joke like tone.
"I just don't trust gravity," she continued to look over the edge.
"Careful," Inu-Yasha said as she stepped closer and held her in that place so she wouldn't lose her balance.
"You sound like my mom," Kagome giggled.
"I hope that's a good thing," he replied.
Kagome flushed, "It's a good thing." Kagome leaned back so she wasn't looking over the side any longer. She continued to blush as she realized Inu-Yasha's arms were still around her.
"Inu-Yasha," she said.
"Milla," he started. "Do you like me?"
Now how was she going to get out of this one? How was she going to answer this question? She held her breath, "Inu-Yasha if I didn't enjoy your company, do you think I would have agreed to your invites."
"I suppose, it's just most people I've dated only want to go to the top of the social ladder," Inu-Yasha told her.
"If I was interested in the social status, then everyone would have known who I was a long time ago," Kagome answered to that.
"Why do you keep your identity a secret," he asked. "Everyone would like you for who you are I'm sure."
"I simply want people to like me for my music, not how popular or pretty I am," she replied. "I know they probably would like me for who I was, but still. I like my identity Milla."
"He smiled and held her tighter, "I probably couldn't understand that before, but if you put it that way, I understand perfectly.
Kagome turned her head a little so she could see him some, "I'm glad you understand."
"Why wouldn't I?" he held her even closer. They both looked out at the view of the Tokyo tower and the lights around it."
"This view is really pretty," she smiled. "Thank you again for showing me."
"It was my pleasure," he turned her to face him. "When you smile, I feel happy knowing I'm...well...a part of that."
"Inu-Yasha," she blushes as he continued to look at her with such intensity.
The next thing she knew his lips were brushing against hers. Her eyes widened at first but from all her shock disappearing seconds later her eyes closed and she pressed her lips back on his.

Tsunami001: ...Wow, I want a boy friend really bad now. I want a guy who will show me great views; I want a guy who will give me my first kiss...HECK I WANT A GUY!
Anyway, I hope all my readers enjoyed this chapter. I'm kind of depressed because of the lack up updates I did on the last three days, but beggars can't be choosers. So I hope this update will bring me to 200. And again, the 200th reviewer gets to choose the song for chapter 16. Partly because I already have the songs for chapter 14, and 15 picked.
See you all next time!
