A/N : First off, I am SO TERRIBLY sorry for the long wait. Unfortunately only on the second chapter… Haha…I'm so lame. But hope you enjoy it while it lasts. It probably will be a long time before the next update. Sorry. (This chapter has been redone)
Chapter 2 :-: The Reunion
"I'm sorry, but your call cannot be reached at the moment. Please hang up and try again, thank you. Bleeeeep"
"AARRRRRRGHH!" groaned Kikyou. "This is the guy? Unbelievable!"
"What is it darling?"
"What isn't it? Everything is so messed up. I haven't met my fiancé. I haven't talked to my fiancé. I'm marrying my fiancé in a month?" Kikyou bitterly stated. "And oh yeah, my boyfriend doesn't want to break up, so tough luck for all this."
"Who said you had to break up with him?"
"What?"
"This is a business-merge, not a happily-ever-after ending. I did not ask you to break-up with your boyfriend. I don't really care what you do."
"You are unbelievable, who does this? You're letting me date two guys… Seriously! And for the last time, I did not sleep with Kouga! So get off my back." Argued Kikyou.
"Do what you want darling, but you know I'm looking out for you. You know it Kikyou."
"You are not looking out for me, you are just looking at me. Spying on me. Don't think I'm stupid."
"That's where you're wrong. I don't need spies, I have…me." Footsteps were heard walking away.
"Ofcourse father."
Inuyasha stepped into his huge mansion only to be greeted by his maids, chefs, butlers, waiters, home-designers, etc…And ofcourse, his loving parents.
He spread his arms out wide crying out, "Mother!" Running up, to give her a kiss. She burst into tears.
Miroku sniggered.
"My BABY! Oh my God, look at you! You got taller again!" She then tsked, "Did you lose weight? Because, you're not fat, young man, and diets are very unhealthy."
Inuyasha scrunched up his nose (A/N : Yeah let me hear it : Awwwwwwwwww) "Mom, one, I didn't lose weight, two I wouldn't want to lose weight, three you're on diets 24/7. I bet you didn't eat yesterday." He said matter-of-factly.
"W-well, now go say hi to your father, before we hurt his feelings."
Mr.Takahashi rolled his eyes at his wife's comments.
"Son!" He give him a big hug. "How are ya' doing?"
Normally, Inuyasha would ignore his dad seeing he didn't like him much. But, heck, it's been two years. He returned the hug. "Great."
"Still, pickin' up the ladies?" Mr.Takahashi wiggled his eyebrows.
'Now that's just wrong…' Thought a frightened Miroku.
Inutaisho Takahashi was a very attractive man but—No let me rephrase that, he was a very attractive almost 200 year old man. Yes, he was almost 200. In demon years ofcourse.
"Hmmm…" mumbled Inuyasha. He looked beyond his father to see a hot blonde girl staring at him. 'Have I seen her before?' He thought. The girl broke away the staring contest and put on a teary face.
Inuyasha snapped. It was the girl he had dated a year ago when he sneaked back to Japan without his parents (and Miroku) knowing. He had promised her to see each other again soon. Damn him and his promises, and his sensitivity to girls who cry.
He mouthed, -Meet-me-in-my-room.-
She twirled around with her duster and marched up the stairs.
"AHEM!"
"Yes son?"
"Well, I'm very tired, as Miroku would know." Said Inuyasha. "So I'll just be going to my room to rest."
"But I have to tell you something very imp-." Began Inutaisho. Cut off by his wife.
"Oh, let him sleep!"
"Thanks mom!" Inuyasha said as he ran up the circulating stairs. He stopped in the middle, and gave a bow saying , "Thanks for being here everyone!" Then disappeared upstairs.
Inuyasha saw the girl waiting by his door. He desparately tried to remember her name. All that he knew was that it started with an 'M.' He decided to say as much names as he can so he wont mess up.
"Maria!"
"That's not it."
"Melody!"
"No."
"Marissa."
"Nope."
"Mandy?" He asked desperately.
"It's Mealis" (Pronounced : May-A- Lease) The girl said with a strong French accent.
'I went out with a girl named Mealis? Whoa…I must've been in a super bad mood.' Went Inuyasha's thoughts.
"I was just screwing with ya! Ofcourse I know your name!" Inuyasha put on the best smile he could offer. "Mealis! Mealis! My darling… My angel… I've missed you so much!"
"Yayh lite! You hov been scaloowing with ozsa gials! Doo not toolk to me!" She said.
"Ah, you're right…" Muttered Inuyasha.
"Ah em gooeng toe tal yoo fazsa lite now!"
"No, no no no no no no. Let's negotiate!" Inuyasha thought for a moment. "Hah! Got it, I'll get you a raise. Somehow or something…"
"Note happy-ning."
"Get you a job at Takahashi Corps.!"
"NO! Ah am teeling!"
"Fine, I'll get you a car." Inuyasha groaned unhappily. It would be such a waste of money to do something like that. For some total stranger too! Well not stranger, but you know what I mean. However, the thought of skipping school, cheating on his girlfriends, and not telling his parents, will break his mom's heart. Inuyasha just couldn't do that. Maybe he'll just get a her some crappy used car…
Mealis sighed, and smiled brightly at Inuyasha, and said, "How may I help you Mr.Takahashi, long trip I presume? I washed your sheets."
That meaning they were all well and settled. Inuyasha hated bribes, and now Marissa has the power to blackmail him. No wait, or was it Mandy?
Kagome breathed a sigh of relief and flopped onto her couch. She needed some time to think about the past week with Hojo. She twiddled her bracelets with her index and middle finger. Hojo, was one of the nicest guys she's known. They should've stayed friends. He was one of those guys that didn't just want to get in her pants. She's been doing this for years, but the guilt's always there, especially for guys like Hojo.
Whenever she felt nervous, and anxious she played with her bracelets. (That were obviously pretty big for her.) Her bracelets didn't excite her anymore though. They used to be that one thing she used, to make her feel better, and see what she accomplished. They're just regular jewellery now, and if she runs out of room on her left arm, then what'll she do? It'll be tacky to match it with the right arm since they're all the same…
"Ping!" One of her bracelets fell to the ground. It echoed through her huge mansion, even though it was just a mere bracelet.
Tons of maids flew through the door of the kitchen, checking if anything was wrong.
"Nothing! Nothing! You can go back to work now…" They all scurried off.
"Arggh!" Groaned Kagome. "I hate it when this hap—," She cut herself off.
That was the only bracelet different than the rest on her arm. Silver heart lockets were entwined between the two layers of silver of the bracelet. It was her favourite, and it looked like coordinated braids.
"Oh… It's you again." Kagome said to herself. She closed her eyes, and remembers all of it. Every single moment. How could she forget? She opens her eyes, and reached to open the middle locket…
"Kagome?" said Mrs.Higurashi.
"Yes mom?" She turned around to see her mom all dressed up in a satin, red evening gown. "You look wonderful. You got a date?"
"No, but you do."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kagome said with utter confusion.
"We have a part date, part meeting tonight. It's for your good."
"Why didn't you tell me about this, like, uhhh, before today?"
"I forgot." That was all Mrs.Higurashi came up with.
"Great…"
"It's OK. You're dress is up in your room, and you'll love it."
"Doodi, doop doop doop, Doodi, doop doop doop--."
"Hello? Kikyou speaking."
"Hello, this is Inutaisho."
Kikyou gasped a little, and straightened her hair, preparing to flaunt her stuff and suck up a little. "Hi Mr.Father in law! Haha!"
Inutaisho coughed. "I'm just calling to inform you about our dinner tonight. Do you remember?"
"Yes ofcourse!"
"Great, so I'll see you soon then." Just like that, the conversation ended.
'When Inu-poo and I get married, that old geezer is the first to go." Thought Kikyou.
"Are we there yet?" Asked Kagome.
"No sweetheart."
"Now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"Yes."
"N-." Began Kagome. "Oh, nevermind." She looked out her window. "I thought you said we were there!"
"I lied." Said Mrs.Higurashi.
"Why thank-you mother…"
"Now we're there!"
Kagome and her mother, exited their limo just in time to be plummeted down by reporters, and photographers, and paparazzi…blablabla.
"Mrs.Higurahi, how is it being a single mother with so much to do?"
"Well, my husband did leave me a fortune. So I could just hire people to do things for me." She chuckled, because everyone knew how hard she worked. So obviously the comment was a joke.
"Ms.Higurashi Kagome, do you have a boyfriend?"
"I wish I could say yes, then I won't have to hold that many bags when I go shopping." She sighed.
Immediately the crowd cracked up. Then they saw Kagome's far-out gaze, and realized she was serious. And immediately scribbled down what she wrote. The rest of the questions were un-answered, as they were all running late. But it wasn't such a drag, seeing all the reporters raced off to see who's entering from the other grand limousine. They got it easy this time.
'Hmmm, wonder who that is?' Thought Kagome. 'These people got pretty lucky, having this lot of very important people at this one place.' But the thought was soon erased from her mind, as she held up her pink, satin dress, held her head high, and walked into the fancy Mayflower restaurant.
"Reservations in private room number 17 please." Mrs.Higurashi said to the waitress.
"Follow me." She said, glancing back every few seconds to look at the two beautiful celebrities. "Here you are, private room 17." She smiled. "Ah, looks like some of your friends are already here!"
They heard some bickering between two manly voices.
"You didn't tell me we'd come here!"
"I tried, but you were ignorant as always!"
"Now don't blame this on me."
"Calm down, and be gentlemen, our guests are here."
"You didn't tell me you'd drag me here!"
'Friends?' Thought Kagome. 'I wonder who they could be.' The voices did sound vaguely familiar though. She entered the room, and looked beyond her mother's shoulder to catch a glimpse of these strangers. Kagome gasped, and screamed, "YOU!"
A/N: Haha…Yup that's it. Next chapter will probably come sooner, because my Summer's here. WOOT! Well, the story's finally begun hasn't it?
Cute button you go
