Beside YouChapter 23: Fate's Game
LAST TIME
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.
NOW
It had been an hour since Izayoi's run in with Kagome Higurashi and she still could not place where she had heard that name before. 'This is going to get on my nerves if I do not figure out where I heard that name mentioned' Izayoi though as she leaned back in her office chair.
Leaning back in her chair Izayoi sighed, if she was going to figure out where she heard that name she was going to have find some information on that girl. Pressing the intercom button she called her secretary Tori.
"Hello?" the voice on the other side of the speaker said
"Tori listen, I need you to do me a favor and get all of the information you can about Kagome Higurashi and give them to me in 15 minutes."
"Alight, I will get right on it." Tori said into the intercom
"Thank you" Izayoi before leaning back once again into her chair. Fifteen minutes later, Tori came inside with a stack of papers in her hands.
"Here is the information you requested." Tori said as she set the stack of paper on Izayoi's desk.
"Thank you" Izayoi said as Tori walked out the door and closed it behind her. Izayoi now looked a the stack of papers and started going over the information, one piece at a time. After about half an hour later Izayoi had finally finished sorting through the ungodly amount of information she had received.
There was information on what her blood type was from what bank she used, and even after all of that nothing seemed to drag Izayoi's memory into remembering where she heard her name before.
Yes of course she knew who she was and why she was here, I mean she couldn't be the president of Four Souls and not know why someone was having a meeting in the building, it was her job to know.
Right when Izayoi was about to give up she spotted something on one of the papers, it was Kagomes address. Suddenly an idea popped into Izayoi's head as she remember a similar address, and decided to give them a call. Picking up the phone she dialed the number and waited till someone picked up.
"Hello?" the person on the other line answered.
"Hello, Rin? Is Sesshomaru there I would like to speak with him" Izayoi said into the phone
"Of course! One second" Rin said as she rushed to hand Sesshomaru the phone.
"Hello?" Sesshomaru's voice said on the other line
"Hi Sesshomaru, how has everything going over there?" Izayoi asked
"Everything is going well mother, though you are early for your once a month call, is everything all right?" Sesshomaru said
"Well yes and no. I was wondering if you knew someone named Kagome Higurashi, I know I have heard her name before but I can't place it, and I was wondering because I ran into her today at work." Izayoi said.
"Yes I do know her, she is unfortunately Inuyasha's girlfriend." Sesshomaru replied.
"Ohh now I remember you telling me last time I called, though why is it unfortunate?" Izayoi asked
"Well as you already know, Kagome is there and Inuyasha is here, so now Inuyasha is mopping around." Sesshomaru said flatly
"What about her daughter, is she with Kagome?" Izayoi asked
"Actually no. She is staying with us for the time being till Kagome returns." Sesshomaru answered
"Alright, though it is hard to believe that Inuyasha is broken up over a girl. Do you think that maybe he's in love?" Izayoi asked seriously
"I wouldn't put it past him, from the way he is acting" Sesshomaru answered
"Alright...I have an idea though Sesshomaru and I will need your and Rin's help to complete it." Izayoi said
"Alright" Sesshomaru said as she told her plan.
With Inuyasha
Inuyasha sighed as he sat in his last period class, five more minutes and he would be out of here. Inuyasha watched the clock as it slowly went around and each time it seemed to get slower and slower. Finally the bell rang signaling the end of class.
Inuyasha hurried to his locker and put his belongings away before he headed to his silver mustang and then headed home. Inuyasha pulled up to the house and opened the door to find Rin and Sakura watching t.v. while Sesshomaru was in the at the kitchen table, though the first thing that Inuyasha noticed was luggage near the stairway.
"Hey, is someone going some where?" Inuyasha asked drawing everyone's attention towards him and a hello from Rin and Sakura who were to caught up in the t.v. that he highly doubted that they even heard his question. Inuyasha then walked into the kitchen where Sesshomaru was sitting at the kitchen table and sat down in a seat opposite with him.
"So, are you or Rin going some where.?" Inuyasha asked
"No. You are and I suggest you start packing your bags your ride will be here in half an hour and Sakura's bags are already packed so hurry up." Sesshomaru said
"What do you mean I am the one leaving I can't leave I have school and I am supposed to watch Sakura" Inuyasha said loudly
"Your school will be taken care of and Sakura is coming with you, now go pack." Sesshomaru said sternly
"Where are you sending me?" Inuyasha asked
"You will find out when you get there now go pack!" Sesshomaru said though this time more forcefully
"FIne" Inuyasha said gruffly as he got up and headed upstairs to pack. An hour later Inuyasha and Sakura were on a plane heading for New York, but they didn't know that since Sesshomaru said that they were going to Colorado to visit a dieing old uncle.
With Kagome
Kagome had just gotten out of the meeting she had and it was by far the most boring thing that she has ever done in her life. Kagome was about to head for the elevator when someone taped her on the shoulder. Turing around she saw a girl who was about 16 with shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Excuse me are you Kagome Higurashi?" the girl asked
"Yes I am" Kagome said slightly confused
"Well if you don't mind could you follow me, Izayoi would like to talk to you for a moment, oh and by the way my name is Tori, I am Izayoi's personal assistant." Tori said
"Alright" Kagome said as she followed Tori to Izayoi's office. 'Why would that lady from earlier want to talk to me' Kagome thought as Tori led her to Izayoi's office and then left with Kagome standing in the middle of the office.
"Hello Kagome sit down would you" Izayoi said from the desk in front of Kagome as she motioned Kagome to sit down in the chair in front of her desk. Kagome followed the request and sat down.
"Well hello you remember me from earlier this morning right?" Izayoi asked
"Yes" Kagome said
"Well I wanted to know if you could do me a small favor, you see my son is arriving in New York within the hour and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to go to the airport with the limo driver to pick him up?" Izayoi asked 'So this is the girl that my son has fallen in love with, she seems very kind, I am glad that he fell in love with someone like her' Izayoi thought
"Well I don't know I mean I don't even know your son, I don't think that I would be the best person to ask" Kagome said
"Oh I see, but I must inform you that you do know my son, very well in fact and that is why I wanted to ask you" Izayoi replied
"I do? What is his name?" Kagome asked curiously
"That I am afraid I can not tell you or else it would give away the surprise" Izayoi answered back
"Alright I will go but are you sure that I know your son?" Kagome asked
"Yes I am positive that you know my son." Izayoi said
