Chapter 23: Turning Point
With Inuyasha
Inuyasha awoke the next morning to the smell of breakfast. Groggily getting up Inuyasha made his was downstairs to see Rin, Sesshomaru, and Sakura in the kitchen. Rin was in the process of fixing Sakura something to eat, while Sesshomaru was reading the paper. Sighing Inuyasha made his way to the table and sat down, causing Rin and Sesshomaru to notice that he had arrived, since Sakura had already know since she was watching him.
"Morning Inuyasha" Rin said cheerfully.
"Morning" Inuyasha said in a 'Im out of bed, but that doesn't mean I am awake' tone.
"Inuyasha you do realize that you only have 15minutes before you are supposed to leave for school, right" Sesshomaru said to the hanyou that was now practically asleep on the kitchen table, and never once glancing up from his newspaper. Upon hearing this Inuyasha's eyes snapped open and he dashed upstairs as fast as he could to get ready fro school, and almost knocking the kitchen chair over in the process. Rin laughed at her brother-in-law's actions as she continued to make breakfast.
About five minutes later Inuyasha came downstairs and into the kitchen fully dress and ready to head out the door on a seconds notice. Rin laughed once she saw the sour look on Inuyasha's face, which only caused an to have a slightly aggravated look as well.
"Well since your running late, can I take Sakura to her class?" Rin asked happily
"Sure, if you want, and if Sakura doesn't mind" Inuyasha said
"I don't mind, Auntie Rin promised that once I get home today that we can make some cookies!" Sakura said excitedly
"Auntie Rin?" Inuyasha asked directing the question toward Rin
"Ohh..yea well Sakura asked if she could call me that so I don't mind, do you Inuyasha?"
"No I was just wondering" Inuyasha said
" Don't you think that it would be wise if you started to head to school because if I am not mistaken then you only have about...4minutes before you are considered late?" Sesshomaru said
"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed as he jumped up from his seat at the table.
"Bye Sakura...see ya Sess, Rin..." Inuyasha said as he bolted out of the kitchen and then went hastily out the door.
With Kagome
Kagome had finally managed to get a taxi to drop her off at the hotel she had to be staying in. After about an hour in the taxi, it finally ceased to a stop in front of the Roosevelt Hotel. Kagome paid the driver after he got her stuff out of the trunk of the taxi and watched as the taxi man drove away. Sighing Kagome decided that it would be best if she went inside then stay out here because of all the stories that she heard.
Kagome entered the hotel and asked the hotel clerk for her room key and number, it turned out that she was located on the 8th floor in complex #83 .
(A/N if you don't get how I did the numbers it is fairly simple there are 10 rooms per floor so if she is on the 8th floor that would be the rooms in the 80's)
Grabbing the extended key, Kagome headed into the elevator. A little while later Kagome entered her hotel room, it was big. There was a 42'' flat screen plasma t.v. mounted on the wall and a king size bed across from it, along with an area for cooking and another door which she assumed was the bathroom.
Kagome set her stuff down when she noticed a black folder sitting on the table in the cooking area. On the front was a sticky note that said 'Welcome Miss. Higurashi. Hope you enjoy your stay. Inside is an itinerary of all the meetings that you are scheduled to attend.. ' Kagome opened the folder and looked over the list, there was about a meeting everyday, INCLUDING today.
Kagome quickly scanned the meeting time, it was scheduled for 6:30p.m. and it was 6:00p.m. 'Damn it!' Kagome thought angrily ' I am not even here for five minutes and I already have to go to a meeting' Kagome thought as she quickly grabbed her purse and keycard and left the room.
With Inuyasha
Amazingly Inuyasha had managed to get to school on time. Luckily for him he had Miroku in his class 1st hour and that they were doing group projects. Inuyasha hurried into his class, only to be greeted by Miroku.
"Tisk. Tisk Inuyasha you were almost late. What exactly we you doing that almost made you late" Miroku said giving Inuyasha a suggestive glace which earned Miroku a hit on the head.
"Shut up, Miroku" Inuyasha said
"Why Inuyasha did you hit me. I only asked a simple question, there is no need for violence." Miroku said
"I know what you were suggesting you letch" Inuyasha said
"Now why would I think a thing like that? I wasn't thinking that I was just merely asking a simple question, and you were the one that it that mistook my question as something inappropriate. So technically I am not the pervert." Miroku said simply
"You know what I meant Miroku, you implied it" Inuyasha said as the bell rang and the teacher told everyone to sit in their seats.
" You just keep telling yourself that Inuyasha and one day you might actually believe it" Miroku said as he said down in his seat, while receiving a murderous glance from Inuyasha as he did so.
After roll call the teacher told them to get into their groups for the project that they were doing, and of course Inuyasha and Miroku were working together. Miroku started to explain what they still need to do when he noticed that Inuyasha was not paying any attention to him, he was just staring off into space.
"Inuyasha hello? Inuyasha Heeellloooo!" Miroku said waving a hand in front of Inuyasha's face.
"What." Inuyasha said swatting Miroku's hand away
"Did you hear anything I just said?"Miroku asked
"You were talking?" Inuyasha asked confused
"What is wrong with you! I have been talking to you for the last ten minutes, what is wrong?" Miroku said in pure defeat
"Nothing" Inuyasha said simply
"Ohhh don't try to pull that again, the whole nothing is wrong thing, because clearly there is. Now tell me or I will tell Kikyo where you hide during lunch" Miroku threatened
"You wouldn't " Inuyasha said
" Ohh I would" Miroku warned back
"Fine..I guess I'll tell you I was going to ask you about this later but I then decided I wasn't" Inuyasha said before he stopped
"Well come on tell me" Miroku said
"Kagome has only been gone for two days and that's it! and I miss her already.. I don't know what to do when she is not around, I mean I usually don't see her for 4hours but that's different because then I spend time with her when she gets home. I don't know why I miss her so much" Inuyasha said in a low voice.
Miroku was way beyond shocked. Did his best friend, the Inuyasha who never liked anyone,fall in love and it seemed like he didn't even know it! Miroku then laughed a little bit which caused Inuyasha to send him a death glare.
"it's not funny!" Inuyasha said angrily
"I wasn't laughing at what you said, I am laughing because you haven't noticed it yet." Miroku said
"Noticed what?" Inuyasha said cautiously
"Inuyasha, I have known you since we weren't old enough to walk I know just about everything there is to know about you because that is what best friends do. But now it seems that someone is gonna take my place." Miroku said
"What are you talking about, who's gonna take your place?" Inuyasha asked
"That's not what I mean, Inuyasha what I mean is that you are in love, but to be more precise you are in love with Kagome." Miroku said seriously
Inuyasha's eyes widened dramatically, he never thought of that. He concluded last night that he missed her because Sakura need her here and so that meant he did to, but he never came to the conclusion that he loved her but now everything made sense. The way that she had only been gone for two days and he already missed her like she had been gone three weeks, and how he always wanted to be near her, and protect her from everything and everyone else, I all fit into place.
Miroku watched his best friend across from him as realization made it's way across Inuyasha's face. In a way he was glad and in a way he wasn't for two reasons one: Inuyasha will be moping around for another 28 days and two: Inuyasha wouldn't spend as much time with him now that he was in love, but he still was happy for his friend even if it meant seeing him less.
" I love Kagome" Inuyasha whispered out loud, not meaning for Miroku to hear him, but he did.
With Kagome
Kagome walked through the halls of the office building trying to get to the conference room when she bumped into someone sending both her and the other lady to the ground.
"Opps I am so sorry" Kagome said as she started to pick up the papers the lady was carrying that were now scattered on the ground and handed them back to the lady.
"Ohh it's ok dear. You must be new here" the older women said as she and Kagome both got up off the floor. The older women was a little bit taller then Kagome and had long black hair that was about down to her knees, she had a very elegant look to her, or Kagome though she did.
"Yea, I just came here today, my name is Kagome Higurashi" Kagome said extending her hand
"Nice to meet you Kagome, I am Izayoi" Izayoi said as she shook Kagome's hand
"Hello, amd I am sorry about running into you I wasn't looking where I was going" Kagome said
"It's ok it happens sometimes" Izayoi said
"Well I am sorry but I have to be on my way" Kagome said
"Oh ok well I hope to see you again sometime" Izayoi said as she watched Kagome rush off down the hall.
'Hmm..that name Higurashi, Kagome sounds so familiar I wonder where I heard that from before' Izayoi though as she continued on her way.
A/N Like I said before I am terribly sorry for the last few chapters and their length but I had a small case of writers block not to mention the amount of homework my stupid teachers have been giving out..well this chapter was about normal length..well until next time Ja ne!
