.::Chapter Three::.

-Double Trouble-

----"Hi, is this Kikyou Higurashi?"----

"Speaking. Who the hell is this?"

"What? Excuse me?"

-A sigh was heard on the other line-

"This isn't another guy asking me out tonight is it? Cause I'm booked(AU: is that right? Looks rong. Boooooked. Bleah). Nine dates tonight. Forty five minutes per date. Sorry, maybe another time." Kikyou hang up.

Dr. Shidomi blinked. Whoa… "Kids these days… think they're all that," he muttered as he clicked the redial button.

"I told you already, punk. MY SCHEDUAL IS FULL! So leave it before things start getting messy." Kikyou growled.

"Listen, missy. I am not calling to ask you out. I'm not even calling to ask you anything. I'm calling to talk to your parents. So you go and get them to answer the phone, before things get REALLY messy…" Shidomi said into the phone.

Kikyou was stunned. No one ever dared talk back to her. Heck, no one dared to even talk to her much. But his guy, he had the nerve… and her parents? Psh. They don't get a quarter of the phone calls she does. But she did as she was told. "Mom! Pick up the damn phone!"

"Alright, honey! Can you please come in here and give me the phone? You know that's the only one we have." Kikyou's mom called from her room.

The stuck-up girl huffed and puffed and carried the cordless phone to her mother's room. That phone was not meant for anyone but Kikyou. Inuyasha had bought it for her. (Just like almost everything else she owned…) She passed her mom the phone.

"Hello? Mother of the house speaking!"

"Oh, hello, Mrs. Higurashi. This is Dr. Shidomi calling. I've got important news to inform you of. Is this a good time?"

"Oh yea, sure. Just give me a moment." Mrs. Higurashi put the phone on her husband/ her's single bed and gently shooed a pissed off Kikyou out of the room. "Alright, all done. What news have you got for me, doctor?"

"Ahem… Mrs. Higurashi, I don't know how I should say this. There's been a mistake. You see…"

"Uh huh?"

"Kikyou is not your daughter."

-silence- "Ahahaha, doctor, you're funny. I nearly fell for that. Not my daughter… ahahahahaha. Good one!"

"Y-you don't understand. I'm not joking. I'm serious, Mrs. Higurashi," Dr. Shidomi stuttered. "Kikyou is not your daughter." He stopped to give Mrs. Higurashi a minute to register everything he had just said.

She finally came back to her senses. "You're serious… Ohmygod… ohmylord… holy crackers… then… how did this happen? Where's my real daughter? Where's Kikyou's parents?" The poor old woman was beyond confused.

"Yes, I'm serious. We are not sure how it happened, but we do know who and where your real daughter is, and yes, we also know where Kikyou's real parents are."

"Oh… I see." Said a still very startled Mrs. Higurashi.

"This is a way too big subject to talk over the phone. How about I make an appointment for you and your husband to come here tomoro- "

"Now."

"I'm sorry?"

"I'd like an appointment with you now, please." Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Sure! That could be arranged. Is your husband and daugh- excuse me, Kikyou, all going to be there?"

"Yes."

"Alright then. You guys can meet me in half an hour at this location…" Dr. Shidomi went on to explain his location and then hang up.

----------

"You're insane. You expect me to cancel nine dates and go listen to some lame-o doctor tell you that I'm not your freaking daughter? Heh. You guys are screwed." Kikyou said coldly to her parents.

"Kikyou, please. It's very important." Mr. Higurashi pleaded.

"No. My dates are important. Not that appointment. Now I'm going to ask you to leave my room. Because I've got to get ready for my first date." With that, she pushed both her parents out of her room. And quickly shut the door.

Kikyou looked at her room. If you could even call it a room. The attic. Had room to fit a single bed and a flat screen TV(bought by Inuyasha). Largest room in her house. You do the math.

She sighed. Why did she have to get such loser-ish parents that were as poor as beggars and acted like Kikyou was their treasure? Why couldn't she get parents that were rich and spoilt her with money on top of money? THAT was what she wanted. THAT was what she deserved. So why had God made her life so difficult?

----------

"Ah, you must be Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi," Dr. Shidomi said as he greeted the parents.

"Nice to meet you, doctor." Mr. Higurashi said, shaking Shidomi's hand.

"I'm glad we had the opportunity to meet you." Mrs. Higurashi added in.

"Pleasure's all mine," the doctor muttered. He felt guilty. Very guilty. Here were two perfectly kind and caring parents. About to get their lives all tangled up because he had found out about the two girls. Tough. "Right this way, you guys." Shidomi said, leading the couple into his office.

The Higurashis sat down and looked at the doctor anxiously. "So, doctor, please tell us more about this daughter of ours." Mrs. Higurashi said quietly.

"Well, her name is Kagome, and she is eighteen years old. She is in this hospital right now because of a car accident. That was how we discovered the mix-up."

"Wait, sorry for interrupting, but… did you say she's here in this hospital… right now?" Asked the oh-so-polite father.

"Yes, that's right."

"Can we go see her?" the couple blurted out together.

Dr. Shidomi was stunned. "Well, ofcourse you can!! Come with me!!!" he said excitedly. Damn… the Higurashis are way better then those Myishis… this is exactly what Kagome needs!! I'm so glad.

----------

"Here we are. Would you two please wait out here for a second while I go tell Kagome that you've arrived?" the doctor asked.

"Ofcourse!" Mrs. Higurashi said.

-Now hush little baby, don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright. Stiffen that upper lip up, lil' lady I told you, Daddy's here to hold you through the night. I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why. We feel how we feel inside. It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby. But I promise, momma's gon' be alright. And if you ask me to daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird. Imma give you the world. Imma buy a diamond ring fo you, Imma sing for you imma do anything to make you smile. And if-

"Kagome?"

Kagome quickly stopped her music and looked up to see Dr. Shidomi. "Oh, hi there, Mr. Shidomi. I'm feeling a lot better now. Can you tell me who my parents are? Where they are? If they know about me? If they care about me? If they even want me? Or do they just want to leave me here because they don't know me? Do you think they love me? Will I be able to live with them?"

"Ofcourse you will!" Mr. Higurashi said as he walked into the room, along with his wife.

Kagome stared at them both. "Oh my gosh… are… are you my parents?"

"Well, as far as we're concerned, yes!" Mrs. Higurashi said. "How are you feeling, dear? Are you alright? No, please don't try and get up. You really don't need to."

"Thank you." Kagome said faintly.

"Well, I guess there's no need for an introduction here. So I'll leave you guys to it. I'll be in my office after you finish chatting with Kagome." Dr. Shidomi said to the parents. Then he left.

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence before a sniffle was heard. Mrs. Higurashi was crying.

"Honey, what's wrong?" her husband asked worriedly.

"Oh, I'm fine. Don't mind me. It's just so awkward. Here's our eighteen year old daughter, that's sitting here looking so sad and lonely. If she had been with us, I could swear she would never be in this state!" she sniffed.

Kagome was heart-warmed. Her mother was so sweet… how she wished she could hug her and go home with her. Then her eighteen-years old nightmare would finally end. She sighed.

"Now, now, dear. Calm down. We'll sort this out. How about we go and have a little talk with Shidomi now? Everything will work out. I promise. Now Kagome, I hope you feel better soon. Your um… mother and I will be back later to say goodbye before we leave. It was really great meeting you, honey." The nice man said.

"Oh okay, then. Thank you so much for coming to visit me… Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi." She couldn't say it. How hard was it to say the word 'parents?' ughhhhh. Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi looked uncomfortable. Mrs. Higurashi gave a final nod and the disappointed couple left.

----------

"You know, you look a-absolutely gorgeous tonight, my dear Kikyou…" said some guy named Johny… or was it Jerry? Heh… who cares? Not Kikyou, at least. The guy moved closer to Kikyou. "W-would you like to come over to my house lat- "

"Time's up I gotta go. Nice meeting you Jared." Kikyou said as she got up from their reserved table #10… and moved to #12, where another guy was waiting.

"It's Jeremy…" 'Jared' muttered.

----------

Flashback::::

He watched from the window of his room at the lonely girl sitting on her front porch, with her head in her arms, crying. Her parents had been screaming at her again. Maybe even beating her. He had heard. The coarse language being shouted out, the many cries of pain. He could hear everything that happens in his neighbour's house. Everything. He sighed and walked out of his bedroom, down the steps, and out the door. He was planning to sit next to his neighbour and comfort her, when her snobby sister came out. So instead, he stood next to the snob, and began dissing the innocent girl. He didn't mean anything he said. He just said them because that evil sister was there. She may be a snob, but a popular one. If she were to look down on him, then his reputation at school would go right down the toilet. He yelled out horrible insults at the crying girl, cursed her, and ended it all by giving her a mighty push and spitting on her. Then he ran back into his house.

-End of Flashback-

"Inuyasha, get your ass down here right now. That is, if you want your dinner."

Inuyasha sighed. Were there any good maids out there these days? "What's the magic word, Ayame?" he teased.

"NOW!!"

"Nope, wrong word. Try again."

"Alright, two words. Ramen, garbage." Ayame said evilly.

That got Inuyasha off his chair in less then a second and down the stairs to the dinning room. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!! SHEESH, WOMAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I'M HERE!!! Now… step away from the garbage can… yea… now… put my ramen onto the table… GOOD GIRL!"

-SLAP!-

That last comment had cost him. Ah well. At least his ramen was safe…

----------

"Kagome? We've come back with great news!!!" Mrs. Higurashi said excitedly. Her husband and her had just finished talking with the doctor.

Kagome looked up and smiled. "Really? What is it?" she asked.

"You'll be able to come home with us today, right after Rin here does a little check on you!!!!"

"REALLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I'M SO EXCITED. ARE U SURE I CAN COME HOME WITH YOU? I MEAN… how about… your other daughter…?"

"Oh, that's no problem," Mr. Higurashi said kindly. "Kikyou will probably be staying the night at her boyfriend's house again."

"GREAT!!! I can't wait! Where's Rin? What's taking her so long? I wanna go now!"

Kagome said hyper-ishly…

"Here I am! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!! Forgive me for being late, miss Kagome!" Rin said with tears in her eyes.

"Um… its okay, Rin, uh… I forgive you?" Kagome said.

"Oh! Alright then, I'll start the tests right away!" Rin said excitedly.

----------

'BRINNNG BRINNNNNG BRINNNNNNNG!!!! BRINNNNNG BRINNNNGGGGG BRINNNNG BRINNNNNNNG-'

"Inuyasha, get off the phone right now please, before I break your arm so you wont be able to use the phone for quite awhile."

Inuyasha scoffed. Sesshomaru. But he hang up the phone anyways. "No need for violence, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled. No point waiting on the phone for Kikyou. She said she was going out with her parents to some fancy restaurant, and wouldn't be back till pretty late.

"Whatever, little brother," Sesshomaro said calmly. "Goodnight." And walked out of Inuyasha's room.

Inuyasha sat on his king sized bed for a few minutes, then jumped up and got ready to go outside. He was going to go check if Kikyou was home. Maybe her phone wasn't working. Maybe she was just waiting for him to go there. Anyways, inuyasha felt bad always having her come over to his house, instead of the other way round. Come to think about it, he's never even been there before. Well, now's the time to go check it out.

----------

"All done!!!" Rin said triumphantly. "Kagome, you're all recovered! You can go now!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!"

"Thank you so much, Rin. You've been so nice to me while I've been here. I promise I'll come back sometimes to visit you!" Kagome said as she climbed out of her bed for the first time in five days to hug Rin.

"I'll be waiting for you." Rin said softly.

"Bye!!!!!"

"See ya! Good luck with your parents! They seem so nice and all!!!"

Kagome smiled. "Thanks, Rin." She walked out of her hospital room and to her brand new parents, who were having a few final words with the doctor.

"Ah, Kagome, dear. You're ready!" Mrs. Higurashi said warmly. "We'll just be a minute." She turned to the doctor and continued. "We just want to thank you so much for all of this!!! This is so exciting!!!"

"It was great meeting you too, Mrs. Higurashi. Same to you, Mr. Higurashi, Kagome." Dr. Shidomi said, smiling.

"You're a good man, Shidomi." Mr. Higurashi said, giving the doctor a handshake. And then the happy family turned and went out the hospital doors.

----------

"I'm sorry for the small space, dear. But we've been having a little money problem. I hope you don't mind…" Mrs. Higurashi said worriedly.

"Nono, it's fine, Mrs. Higurashi. Really. Thank you so much. I wouldn't care less of where I was right now. As long as you and Mr. Higurashi were here." Kagome said sweetly and meaningfully.

"Aww… such a sweet girl. Well, you can stay in Kikyou's room for the night," Mrs. Higurashi said, showing Kagome the attic. "Get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning we'll all introduce each other. Good night, dear!" with that, the kind lady closed the door gently.

Kagome looked around the small space. Nothing like her old bedroom. But this one somehow seemed even better. It just seemed… right. She did a three-sixty to take everything in. Then she heard something rattle. She turned to the direction of the small window… and saw a tall sillouette of a person. She took a step back.

"Oi, wench, who the hell are you?"

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE!!!! WHOOPEEEEE!!! SHO HAPPY Man sorri for the slow update… I couldn't think of a way to end this chap. But I've figured it out, finally!!!! YAY!!!
