Chapter 14: A Best Friend in Need
'But does she have you?'
It was now math class and Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha all went to class together. Kagome took her seat beside Miroku and he frowned, glaring at Naraku who sat in front of Kagome.
"Hey babe," Naraku winked at Kagome. She sighed and nodded in his direction.
"Kagome, how the hell could you go with a bastard like him?" Miroku asked. He knew about how Naraku tried to rape Kagome 2 years ago and his 'older brother' instincts kicked in.
"Because he blackmailed me." Kagome said as she started doodling.
Miroku shrugged. "Heard you backhanded Kikyo, tell me, how did it feel?"
This particular conversation subject caught Inuyasha's attention.
"Oh man it felt great! Being considered a 'Kikyo look-a-like' pisses the hell out of me. So, a little pain killing." Kagome smirked.
"Ouch, tell me did it leave a scar?"
"I don't know Naraku and I left before we saw what happened to her. Ask Takahashi." Kagome said as she poked the back of Naraku's head.
"What?"
"I'm bored."
"Talk with Inuyasha."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Do you want me to castrate you?"
Inuyasha ignored Miroku as he watched his best friend just talk to the man that tried to rape her 2 years ago.
"How are you going to sing Carol of the Bells?" Naraku asked Kagome. Kagome whipped her gaze at Miroku. "Or maybe I'll castrate Miroku…"
"We ain't dogs Kagome. Don't treat us like it." Miroku said.
"After I'm done with you, you'd wish you were a dog." Kagome growled as she jumped Miroku.
Totosai-sensei walked in to find Kagome straddling Miroku.
"Higurashi! Stop sexually assaulting Miroku."
Kagome sent a look at the teacher. She grumbled as she got up and kicked Miroku's shins.
"You okay Houshi?" Inuyasha asked him.
"I've had better…"
Naraku sniggered. Kagome flicked her pencil at him and he glared at her. "Watch it Higurashi."
"You can't do shit to me Naraku. I have Miroku and Kouga backing me up," Kagome said. Naraku smirked. "What about Inuyasha?"
Miroku raised a brow. 'Inuyasha?' he thought, 'man, her being Sweetheart gets stronger and stronger by the minute.'
Kagome sighed not liking how her life was going at the moment… she had to be friendly with Naraku or else he'd spill, Miroku and Sango are catching on and Inuyasha is leaning towards Kikyo more…
'Why did I have to fall in love with you Inuyasha?' Kagome thought miserably as she constantly wrote her first name and his last in her notepad.
Kagome Takahashi
Kagome kept on writing that in beautiful calligraphy. Unknown to her, her 'best friend' had seen all this. Inuyasha frowned seeing her writing her first name and his last name.
'What?' he thought. Kagome shook her head and shut her notepad just as the bell rung. She got up and walked to her Biology class and took her seat beside Sango. Just as she did Kikyo walked up in front of here with a band-aid on her face.
"Bitch," Kikyo spat as she grabbed Kagome's hair. Kikyo however didn't know the very important fact that Kagome and Inuyasha had been learning Karate ever since they were little kids. Kagome grabbed Kikyo's hand and dug her nails into her forearm. Just as Kikyo let go Kagome quickly stood up and slapped her other cheek.
"Watch it Hiromi," Kagome said using Kikyo's full last name.
"What the… how DARE you say Hiromi!" Kikyo said grabbing Kagome's arm.
"What? Isn't Hiromi you're full last name? I don't want to taint my brothers' girlfriends' last name now do I Kikyo? After all, her last name is Hiro and that is oh so much better then Hiromi."
"Bitch, Hiromi is my father!"
"I've been told… I feel sorry for your mother. Being stuck with you and your father…"
"SHUT UP!" Kikyo 'attempted' to slap Kagome but the keyword here is attempt. Kagome noticed the teacher walk in and took the slap. The teacher looked at Kikyo and her eyes widened. "Hiromi KIKYO!"
Kagome smirked and started acting. Hey she wasn't in Musical Theater class for nothing. She had fake tears in her eyes and she looked at the teacher. "It's ok Kaede-sensei… she… I…" Kagome let the tears fall as she ran out of class. Sango had to hide the laughter as she ran out after Kagome. Inuyasha frowned seeing all this going on between his best friend and girlfriend.
Kagome howled as they left the school. Sango grinned as she hugged Kagome. "You just did not slap Kikyo and get us out of class all in two minutes now did you?"
Kagome grinned. "Oh man, her slap was nothing!"
"Tell me Kag-chan, are you PMSing?"
"Yes, that's why I can be so emotional!"
"AND ABOUT CAROL OF THE BELLS!" Kagome growled as she turned to Sango. Sango went into chibi form and tried to run away but Kagome grabbed her shirt and lifted her up in front of her eyes.
"I…DO…NOT…LIKE…SINGING!"
"CALM DOWN!"
(I'm so hyper rite now… I think Kagome and Sango's attitudes can prove that much…)
"Fine I will." Kagome said as she took in three deep breaths. Sango returned to human mode and patted Kagome's back.
"So, how is it like slapping Kikyo again?"
"Oh boy! I can't wait to tell Miroku." Kagome said. She wasn't exactly mad at her friends for making her sing. Just worried that they're catching on and how she was gonna pull it off…
"So do you wanna go back to class?" Sango asked.
Kagome looked at her wrist watch and shrugged. "We just bumped half an hour of class…"
"Might as well," Sango said as they walked back. Right before they entered, Kagome rubbed the cheek Kikyo slapped her at to make it look red then she rubbed her eyes a lot to make it look red and to make it look watery. Sango put an arm around Kagome and they walked in.
"Higurashi, are you alright?" Kaede-sensei asked.
Kagome nodded as she took her seat. Inuyasha raised a brow. He knew Kagome was acting but why?
After class, Kagome, Sango and Miroku started walking home.
"So, Kagome…" Miroku said in caution.
"I have no idea how I'm going to sing! I can't sing… my voice is horrible." Just then her cell rung and she picked it up.
"What do you want?" She said knowing it was Inuyasha.
"Why are you mad at me?"
"Oh no reason, I'll come over tonight and try on her dress for you okay?" Kagome growled as she hung up.
"So Kagome, let's go dress shopping tonight."
Kagome looked at Sango as if she were insane. "What? But the Winter Festival is in two months…"
"Yes but by the end of this month we're going to the Ski camping trip, we won't have time to go shopping."
Kagome considered this and nodded. "Alright!"
Suddenly her phone rang again… it was her mother.
"Moshi Moshi,"
"Kagome."
"Mama. What's up?"
"I'm taking your brother to a dentist appointment right now."
Kagome gasped. "But I don't have the keys to the house!"
"Then go to Inuyasha's."
Kagome sighed as she said bye to her mother and hung up. She then speed dialed Inuyasha and he picked up. Kagome heard a distinct high pitched giggle.
"Yes?"
"Mama's taking Souta to the dentist."
"So?"
"I don't have the keys to the house…"
"I'm really busy Sweetheart."
"Fuck you." Kagome growled as she hung up. She chucked her phone at Miroku who caught it.
"Can I see who you're friend is?" Miroku asked.
Kagome sighed with tears in her eyes. She looked at Miroku, took her phone from him and ran away. Sango's eyes darkened. "We need to have a chat with Inuyasha…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha was in the car with Kikyo, he can't believe he just blew off Kagome but by the way she's been acting, he'd say she deserved it…
'Deserve being locked out of her own home?' He asked himself as Kikyo sat in his lap, kissing his earlobe.
'No, Sweetheart doesn't deserve that.' Inuyasha sighed to himself. He pushed Kikyo off and looked at her. "Sorry babe, I'm needed somewhere else."
Kikyo flared up as she put her hands on Inuyasha's chest. "I'm your girlfriend Inuyasha, what can be more important than me?"
Inuyasha opened the door for Kikyo before saying. "A lot of things." And he sped off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome called Sesshomaru on her way home.
"Hello?"
"Sesshy-kun," Kagome cried.
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"I… there's no way home… mama is taking Souta to the dentist… and Inuyasha ditched me."
"I'll send Jaken right away." Sesshomaru said and Kagome hung up. Kagome rubbed the tears away as she sat on the shrine steps. She looked at her phone and decided to look at the pictures. She opened up the file and saw files of herself and Inuyasha from the day she got her phone. She growled as she flipped it shut. She stared at the sky until she heard a honking noise. She looked up to see Inuyasha…
"Get in."
"No."
"Get in."
"NO!"
"GET IN THE DAMN CAR!"
"WHY DON'T YOU COME AND MAKE ME BASTARD!" Kagome shrieked as she stood up. She then looked to the side to see Jaken and the limo. She glared at Inuyasha as she ran to the limo and got in.
Inuyasha cursed as he rode behind the limo the entire time.
Kagome sat in the seat and glared at her phone. She threw it onto the floor as Jaken opened the wall that secluded the drivers and the driven.
"What's wrong Kagome-sama?"
"Inuyasha is what. I have to try on a dress he bought for Kikyo."
"You really hate them right now then?" Jaken asked.
"Yes." Kagome growled.
Jaken sighed and decided not to bug Kagome any further. They arrived at the mansion and Kagome got out. She ran to the gate and opened it, only to bump into Sesshomaru.
"FLUFFY-KUN!" Kagome squealed as she hugged him around his neck. Sesshomaru's arms went to her waist to support her, because she was a feet off the ground (she was hanging from his neck).
"What's up Kagome-chan?" asked a 6 month pregnant Rin.
"BELLY! WAI!" Kagome squealed as she went to her knees and put her ear against Rin's bloated stomach.
Kagome felt the baby kick and just as she did Inuyasha walked into the house.
"Oh Kagome, I heard you're Winter Festival was in two months."
Kagome stood up and turned to Sesshomaru. "Yeah."
"I have a dress for you."
"WHAT?" Kagome screamed. Sesshomaru chuckled as he wrapped an arm around his wife's waist. "Yes, Rin and I thought, that since we didn't give you a birthday present, we'd buy you a dress."
Kagome stared at her two close friends. "A dress…?" She whispered.
"Yes, come with us sweetie." Rin teased. Kagome squealed as she latched onto Sesshomaru's back. He lifted her up so she was on him piggy back style. Sesshomaru put his arm around Rin's shoulder and the three were off to Rin and Sesshomaru's bedroom.
Inuyasha glared at their backs before going to his own bedroom.
'Can't believe I ditched Kikyo…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome gasped as Sesshomaru took out the dress from the closet.
It was a two piece midnight blue outfit. The top ended right above the belly button. It tied behind the neck and it had no sleeves. It had pretty sequins that decorated the whole thing. Just below the belly button was a beautiful matching midnight blue skirt. It hugged every curve and flared down to her ankles. There were matching sequin patterns on the bottom as well as the top. The dress was simple yet elegant, just how Kagome wanted it to be.
"Oh dear god this is so beautiful."
"Yes, it was either this or some second dress that Inuyasha bought for Kikyo."
Kagome touched the silk soft fabric.
"We even have jewelry and shoes for you." Rin said as she held out a beautiful diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings along with high heel black shoes. Kagome's eyes bulged as she looked at it all. "Oh my god,"
"Happy belated birthday." Sesshomaru grinned.
"You two are the best." Kagome squeaked as she hugged them both.
Kagome tried on the dress in the bathroom and walked out with the jewels and shoes on. Rin squealed as she exaimined Kagome.
"Go downstairs and show Inutaisho and Izayoi!" Rin said.
Kagome tried her very best to walk down the stairs. Sesshomaru was in front of her and Rin behind her. Kagome went downstairs to see Inutaisho, Inuyasha and Izayoi all sitting down and watching T.V.
"Ahem," Kagome said. Sesshomaru moved out of the way and revealed her. Izayoi squealed as she launched at Kagome, tampering with the dress. Inutaisho grinned.
"Really sexy Kagome."
Kagome grinned. "Oh great, now I'm sexy for Naraku."
Inutaisho's eyes darkened. "Naraku? What about him Sweetheart?"
Kagome sighed and walked over to him. He patted the seat beside him and Kagome sat down. "Naraku forced me to go with him to Winter Fest or else he'll blow my cover."
"Do you want me to murder him?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No, then your child will be fatherless. Speaking of which, what is the gender of my godchild?" Kagome asked looking at Rin.
"Girl!" Rin squealed.
"WAI!" Kagome jumped up but then fell face forward to the ground, since her dress tangled up. She screamed as Inutaisho and Inuyasha launched at her, both grabbing either arms and pulling her back.
"Thank you." She said as she walked over to Rin.
"What are you gonna name her?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru. He smirked as he put a hand on Rin's stomach.
"We were thinking Mina Choujo Takahashi." Sesshomaru said.
"Choujo? Doesn't that mean First Born?" Kagome asked looking at Sesshomaru.
"Yes it does."
Kagome squealed. "Mina Choujo Takahashi… my godchild!"
"Choujo is a stupid middle name for my goddaughter." Inuyasha barked at his brother.
"It's my child Inuyasha! And besides, the godmother approves." Rin said.
"But then again, the godmother has to try on a dress for some stupid two cent whore." Kagome muttered.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha roared as he stood up.
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY NAME! IT'S HIGURASHI TO YOU BASTARD!" Kagome screamed as she walked to the kitchen.
Kagome sat down on a chair and rubbed her arms. There were still marks on it from when Naraku grabbed her. She sighed as she drank a glass of water.
"Might I say something Kagome-sama?" SaidAni the cook.
"Sure,"
"Are you in love with Master Inuyasha?"
Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at Ani. "Na-nani?"
"It seems pretty obvious Kagome-sama."Ani said. "I mean you constantly look dreamy."
Kagome frowned at her cup of water. "No, I do not love that stupid jerk!"
"If you say so."Ani said as she handed Kagome a glass of coke. Kagome finished it in two seconds before standing up. She walked to the grand hall and smiled at everybody excluding Inuyasha. "I'm going to go get changed and check if Mama is home yet."
Izayoi nodded as Kagome left.
"Inuyasha! How dare you scream at her!" Rin yelled at her brother-in-law when she was sure Kagome was out of earshot.
"Why did she call Kikyo a two cent whore?" Inuyasha asked.
"That's because she is one?" Sesshomaru said simply.
"Shut up. Nobody asked you." Inuyasha shot at his brother.
"You didn't really direct the question to anybody specifically." Sesshomaru said as Rin sat down.
"Mina Choujo Takahashi, cute name Sesshomaru." Izayoi complimented her son.
"Thanks mom."
Kagome bounded down the stairs with the dress, shoes and jewels in a bag. "Mama's home. I'll take Jaken ok?" Kagome said.
"Why not take Inuyasha?" Inutaisho asked.
"I don't want to poison the seats. He and that two cent whore must've done something that Miroku only dreams of doing in there." Kagome said as she hugged everybody, but just glared at Inuyasha before leaving.
"Why are you two in a fight?" Sesshomaru asked as Izayoi went to see Kagome off.
"Because I asked her to try on a dress for Kikyo."
"Then duh! She hates Kikyo with her guts! It's pretty harsh when her best friend asks her to try a dress on for her." Rin screamed.
"Did you not notice the bruises on her forearm Inuyasha?" Inutaisho asked her son.
"Bru-bruises?" Inuyasha asked.
"I think it happened when Naraku 'asked' Kagome out." Sesshomaru said.
"I do hope she's ok. She's such a darling." Inutaisho said before getting up.
"SESSHY!" Rin squealed. Sesshomaru chuckled as he picked Rin up bridal style and carried her to their bedroom. Inuyasha dug his face in his hands. 'What the hell is wrong with me?'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later the evening Kagome and Sango decided to go shopping. Kagome told her about the dress that her friends' brother gave her. Sango hyped up when she saw and was really hyper now that Kagome can give Sangos' dress her undivided attention.
"So what type of dress Sango-chan?" Kagome asked.
"EXACTLY LIKE YOURS!"
"How about no,"
"Ok fine, but a pretty dress JUST LIKE YOURS!"
"Man what are YOU PMSing?"
"Yes."
Kagome laughed as they got into Miroku's car.
"Where to first ladies?"
"Downtown Mario!" Kagome shrieked.
"Mario?" Sango raised a brow.
"Uh… Souta was playing Luigi's mansion today…"
Miroku and Sango laughed as he sped off.
"So Kagome, that dress is digging! To bad it's for Naraku." Sango said disgustedly.
"Yeah I know." Kagome muttered.
"Why did you accept?"
"Stupid bastard has too many things against me." Kagome said.
"Like?" Miroku wiggled his brows.
"Just drive Houshi." Kagome barked.
"Man, she acts more and more like Inuyasha everyday." Miroku said.
"Oh shut up." Kagome sighed.
They arrived at downtown and Kagome and Sango ran into the biggest shopping central there is. They launched into the biggest store inside the mall and started choosing clothing for Sango.
"Go on and do manly things Miro." Kagome said as she shooed him out of the store.
"Women." He muttered as he walked off to some cell phone store.
After hours of dress wearing, picking, screaming, scrambling, shouting, tugging, pinching, KAWAIIing, more dress wearing, more dress picking, more screaming, more scrambling, more shouting, more tugging, more pinching, more KAWAIIing, even more dress wearing, even more dress picking, even more screaming, even more scrambling, even more shouting, even more tugging, even more pinching and EVEN MORE KAWAIIing, they finally picked out the perfect dress for Sango.
It was black spaghetti strapped and low v-cut. It hugged her breasts and flowed down past her hips. The back trails on further as the front of the dress ended at her knees. There were beautiful red flowers decorating it and it had a shawl that tied around her neck.
"Sexy!" Kagome said as they bought it.
"Now shoes and jewelry."
"Why are we doing all this today?"
"Because we have to prepare for our ski trip in one week!" Sango said!
"Ok, ok fine." Kagome said as they went to a shoe store. Miroku was still looking at cell phones.
They picked out silver strapped high heels and an imitation gold jewel set. (Kagome's diamond set was real).
They found Miroku still at the cell phone store. Kagome had to drag him out of the store because he was still staring at a particular Virgin Mobile phone.
Kagome sighed as she jumped into his car. Just as she did her cell phone indicated she had a text message…
'A Best Friend in Need.'
Kagome's eyes widened. "Miroku, take me…" Kagome couldn't say it… but she had too… Inuyasha needed her… that was their code message if something really bad happened and calling was not a good option at the moment…
"What?"
"Take me to the Takahashi mansion…"
Ohh what now? Hehe things are getting tensy!
Stay tuned!
Lub,
Sakura
