Sorry, very sorry that I've not been able to review, and I need a beta reader! More info at the end to this story.
Disclaimer: no, I don't own Inuyasha and people.
Inuyasha yawned for about the fifth time that day. He had to sit through the boring trial involving Hojo's case of homosexuality. The judge gave the final rule prior to the morning and he was lucky enough to miss it. But now the judge had to give the mild punishment to the poor politician and send Hojo out of the election, which resulted in an automatic win for Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha really didn't care wether his older half brother won the election, he just wanted Hojo out of his sight and most importantly out of Kagome's sight. When exactly Sesshoumaru will give him his money is unknown but Inuyasha is sure that Sesshoumaru is a man of his word.
The tired lawyer hurried to his car and drove back home, stretching the speed limit as far as it can go without breaking the law. He parked his car wearily in his apartment parking lot and dragged his feet as he got into the elevator. He opened the door with clumsy movements and stepped into his comforting home, or until he realized that someone is sitting at the dining table, carefully ignoring his every move.
"Hey Kagome." Inuyasha mumbled as he took off his shoes and put on slippers.
"Take those slippers off, they belong to someone I know." Kagome replied coldly as she picked up an upturned magazine from the table in front of her.
"I bought these slippers, Kagome." Inuyasha frowned. Did I say something wrong? Or did someone get off at the wrong side of the bed today.
"You did not!" Kagome shouted, standing up and throwing her magazine away furiously.
"Did not what?" The tired lawyer replied hesitantly.
"You did not buy those stupid slippers!" Kagome yelled, her face beet red, "Someone I know, someone with at least some human moral in him, someone who is fair, someone who I've been living with the past few years!"
"Who are you talking about? Haven't I been living with you for the past few years?" Inuyasha asked excitedly, getting angry himself at Kagome's bad mood.
"No you're not…Who are you and what have you done with my Inuyasha?" The cloth designer cried, a single tear coming down her cheek.
Inuyasha looked taken back. Her Inuyasha? What did he do to upset her so much? Weren't she just friendly with him yesterday morning?
"Kagome, I…I don't understand…" Inuyasha sat down on a sofa, worn out by their little quarrel.
The girl took a deep breath and said calmly, "Why did you sue Hojo?"
"You're mad about that?" Inuyasha felt like laughing, was this girl just getting hysterical just because he sued that stupid politician.
"Yes…" Kagome gave a fake pout. "Why did you have to?"
"Because…"
"Because Sesshoumaru offered you something right?"
"How did you know?" Inuyasha said sarcastically, he really didn't feel like lying to her anymore. Not after that little fight five minutes ago.
"What did the man offer you?" Kagome took a deep breath and prepared herself for the inevitable.
"He offered me a million dollars."
"Kagome, Kagome!" Kagome looked up just in time to see her best friend, Sango, rush through the door of her office, yelling her name.
"Hello." She greeted with a lighthearted smile.
"You know what, you know what?" Sango shouted excitedly.
Kagome shook her head, but knowing it was something important.
Sango grinned, "You know that Koga?"
Kagome sighed, of course she knew him. Wasn't he her boyfriend?
"Well, some girls got news that he's going to come to see you with a proposal and a diamond ring!"
The cloth designer froze. Proposal? Diamond ring?
"…" Kagome opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She is just way too shocked to make a speech right now.
"I thought it was crazy, no, cancel that, WE thought it was crazy that you barely even know that man and he's going to pop the question." Sango chatted on.
"Are you sure?" Kagome said hoarsely.
"One hundred percent!" Sango grinned wider. "What? You nervous?
Kagome nodded. She felt numb, emotionless.
"Well, I say you say yes, I mean, how often do you get a man begging at your feet?"
"I don't know…" It was true, Kagome didn't know. Come to thing about it, she did fall for Koga pretty fast. Maybe she should say yes? But what about Inuyasha? What will he think of this? Who cares what that jackass says, its not like his my mother!
"So?" Sango propped down of one of the chairs opposing Kagome's desk.
"I don't know…"
"Oh c'mon! Koga's gonna be here this afternoon, for goodness sake!"
Kagome looked at her friend. "Are you sure I should agree?"
"Well, yeah! You guys fell for each other so quick its as if you guys are soulmates!"
Kagome sat quietly. Should she? Was Koga worth getting with? But her life would change rapidly if she got married. Nothing would ever be the same. She won't be able to talk to Inuyasha like she used to, with hugs and kisses…Oh what does she care about that big creep.
"Kagome!!" Sango's sudden shout brought Kagome back to reality. "Koga's here!"
"What? Who? When?" She panicked.
"Hey Kagome." A familiar voice came from the doorway.
"Hi Koga!" Sango laughed and ran out the door to give the couple some privacy.
"What's up?" Kagome stood up, smoothing out her suit as she spoke.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look the day I first say you?" Koga spoke with a gentle voice.
So much different than Inuyasha. Kagome shook her head, blushing deeply. Why was she thinking about that creep at a time like this?
"Well then I'll tell you now."
She blushed deeper. She completely forgot she was talking to Koga just now.
The handsome man in front of her knelt down on one knee. Oh no! Kagome's heart raced at five hundred miles per second.
"Will you marry me, Kagome Higurashi?"
Kagome looked up, desperate for an answer. But she almost dropped dead from shock and panic when she saw someone in the doorway, watching them with sadness.
It was none other than Inuyasha.
Author's note:
Another cliff hanger. An emotional one too! Muahahaha!!
Oh and before you guys kill me, I'm very very very sorry for not updating. I was involved in something else(such as the basketball and tennis team) and couldn't find the time. So sorry!
About the Betareader, I thought it would be a good idea to have a beta reader so maybe I need two. I'll send the story in an email to my beta reader and who ever that vollenteered (I think I spelled that wrong, another reason for beta readers) to be a beta reader can check it for me ok? Ok!
So…
See ya in next chappie!
And don't forget to leave you're comments in the reviews!! Thanks!
Bye!
