Looking In The Past
Chapter 5
You?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters other than Miroku…In a way. But some of us know other wise. (Smiles to a side)
You?
"I'd say, your just fooling around." Kagome told Kikyo, as they had apparently met up with each other on the street. For some reason, they were having a friendly talk. Kagome didn't want to be enemies anymore.
"Oh, really? Then why don't you remember him?" Kikyo responded as she smirked to a side of her mouth. Hoping she'd won this debate.
"Who?"
"Inuyasha."
Kagome stopped walking and sat herself down on the bench, "…Inuyasha? Kikyo, I honestly think you're just thinking oddly. I don't remember an Inuyasha!"
Kikyo sighed, and then gave Kagome a look telling her she was crazy. "Kagome. You two were practically married when we were younger! The two of you, best friends. I know the way you acted around him. That's why I was always an enemy with you! I liked him, too, you know!"
Kagome looked oddly at her new friend, "I wish I could remember…but I don't quite remember anything from when I was younger. Time goes by too quick!"
"He was the boy in high school. The one that was always quite around you. He hung out with the other two, Miroku and Sango. They never really talked to you, either."
"I…I remember Miroku and Sango. He was a pervert, she was the one he liked…and she wanted to be a cop when she was older."
"Right." Kikyo bit into her taco and brushed the sauce running down her cheek with a napkin, "And you four were all best friends. As for Sesshomaru, Naraku, and I…" Kikyo hesitated, "Well… You hated Sesshomaru, were always enemies with Naraku, and we just got off to a bad start."
"Really? I can imagine all of this…but why would I have ever hated Sesshomaru? He's such a nice man…my boyfriend for Pete's sake!" There was a large look of disappointment on Kagome's face.
"Honestly, Kagome. I don't understand you sometimes. You don't belong with that boy, Sesshomaru. He's just too…keen." She rolled her eyes, "Kagome. You and Inuyasha belong together, no matter how much I'd hate that…as for me, I'm meant to be alone. Okay? So…please, Kagome. Take Inuyasha and be with him forever. Heal his broken heart."
Kagome couldn't accept what she was hearing, but she knew that Kikyo was honestly telling it from her heart. "I'll think…thank you, Kikyo."
"And, Kagome…?"
"Yes?"
"I think Sesshomaru only liked you at first…to…well…" Kikyo's face dropped, "Because he wanted to get back at Inuyasha."
"WHAT?"
"I'm sorry. Forget it. Just…forget what I just said. Think about the rest. Please, Kagome…I have to go." She hurried to stand up and run away, acting as if there was some important meeting she was late for.
Kagome sat on the bench; she didn't know what to think. But today, she was going to be with Inuyasha. She could figure things out then.
Sesshomaru stretched across his bed, last night he had stayed out under the tree with Kagome Higurashi later than he'd usually stay up. He then brought himself out of his bed and walked sleepily to his phone, hitting a button where a beep sounded. "You have 5 new messages. Message One."
"Sesshomaru, you have to come to the station as soon as possible. There's been a boy wandering around near your apartment and we've got him here. Blood tests say he shows some relation to you! Come down immediately!"
"Message complete. Message two."
"Sesshomaru? Hey! I was just calling about tonight; it's Sango…by the way. And I was wondering if you were sure you wanted to go there? It's a really expensive place! Anyway, thanks for the invite!"
"Message complete. Message three."
"Actually, it's Sango again. I didn't mean you didn't have any money or anything when I said it's expensive, I just meant that I haven't been there often or actually at all! I'm so sorry, please tell me you still want to go!"
"Message complete. Message four."
"Oh, did I say this was Sango? Because I need to if I didn't! This is Sango! And I shouldn't have done another message, which can get really annoying and seem like I'm obsessive. Oh dear, I'm sorry! Oh no…I really shouldn't be doing another message! But I can't erase all of what I just said. Ack!"
"Message complete. Message five."
"Hey, Sesshomaru…It's Kagome. I…eh…well, I just want to let you know last night was great and I highly appreciate all you've done for me. Thanks for the evening."
"Message complete. End of messages." The beep sounded again, and Sesshomaru began to burst out into laughter. He, in his life, had never known Sango would get so paranoid over a message. But then he stopped laughing thinking about Kagome's message; she was the sweet girlfriend that he'd known all of his life. Heh. Things were awkward these days. Thinking about the messages brought him to the first message, his co-worked, Tomahoshi. He quickly put some pants over his boxers and didn't care about changing his shirt. And then Sesshomaru span out of the door and began his way to the Police Station, just a block or two away from his apartment.
Sesshomaru pushed the door open to find Tomahoshi standing at the front desk, waiting. "I thought you'd never come, Sesshomaru. Were you sleeping or just out with that girlfriend of yours?"
"Keh. Toma, where is he?" Sesshomaru said clearly, impatient with his co-worker.
"Whatever Sesshomaru…he's right here." Tomahoshi stepped back, and there sat a man appearing around his age sitting in a chair, quiet. He, too, had silvery long hair, but he just stared at Sesshomaru looking as if he wanted to get out of the station, quick.
"Hi." The boy said.
Sesshomaru was irritated, "Who the hell…"
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha then said, knowing what he was thinking.
"Inuyasha…hey…you…Why are you here, half brother?"
'Keh, yea…that's my old half brother.' Inuyasha thought, "I need to talk to you. Now would you get these damn bitches off my back!" He tilted his head towards Tomahoshi and the other detectives and policeman standing around.
"Sure…" Sesshomaru nodded towards the workers and they all rolled their eyes walking away. "Now, Inuyasha…what?"
"Kagome."
"STAY AWAY FROM HER."
"You're a fake."
"What?"
"I know what you did…I just…know. Why?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play stupid. Come on, you idiot! Why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"You only started going out with her to get back at me!"
"I did?"
"YOU IDIOT! YES!"
"Oh…wow…OH! Now…I remember. But things have changed, she loves me, I love her…yea!" He nodded continuously.
Inuyasha snorted, "No…That's impossible."
"What?"
"You really love to play the fool, don't you, Sesshomaru?" With that, Inuyasha stood up and walked out of the station.
Sesshomaru watched him leave, clueless.
The door had a knock on it and a beautiful Kagome opened the door, wearing the same dress only a different color, red. And her new shoes…those shoes Sesshomaru gave her. And there Inuyasha stood, eyes wide. "Hello, Kagome." His heart hurt once more, but he had to win her over. Kagome. The one he loved.
"Inuyasha." She smiled, showing her white teeth and Inuyasha took her arm, he then led her down the steps of her apartment building and the two walked down the sidewalk.
"I hope you don't mind walking…"
"Not at all, Inuyasha. It's fine." She said calmly.
"That's good. So how are you and Se-…your life, going?"
"Oh, it's been fine! I'm working this really hard case where a man is being sued because he 'killed his girlfriend'. Heh, it's crazy, isn't it?" Kagome didn't catch his mistake.
"That's good. We're almost there…" Inuyasha pointed to a glowing sign that had Deadline 900 written across it.
"Yea." Kagome quickly padded down her dress and straightened her position, wanting to look her best for the best restaurant.
A man approached the two and held put one arm across his stomach and the other behind his back, then bowed. "You are booked in for a seat, I suppose?" The man said, smiling.
"Yes. Under Inuyasha."
"You are here. And you booked a very nice table, might I add. Please follow me, your table awaits."
The two followed the skinny Japanese man, and sat down across from each other once they were at the table. They each took a menu and began to look at beverages. "So…" Kagome started.
"Yea?"
"Well. I was just wondering how'd you get us booked so easily?"
"I kinda, pulled some connections." He tugged at the tie he was wearing, he never normally wore one and he was a half demon, after all!
For the real story, Inuyasha had really gone to the manager and strangled him, pulling at him and threatening him…until finally he'd gotten the second best table there, because the first was already taken. That was good enough for him, all Inuyasha wanted was to please Ms. Kagome Higurashi.
Kagome giggled, "That's nice of you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha blushed, "Thanks."
The waiter then came up with a pad and a pen, "What can I get you two tonight for a drink?"
"I'll have sweet tea." Kagome said looking up from the menu.
"And I'll have…water." Nothing really appealed to Inuyasha, so he ordered the simplest thing. Since it was in such a fancy restaurant, it should be good water, though!
"I'll be right back with your drinks." The waiter smiled and walked off.
"Thank you for bringing me here. It's so nice of you, Inuyasha…I'd think such a handsome person like you would be busy tonight." She blushed now.
"Kagome, even if I did. I would easily take away those plans for you."
Kagome smiled, "Your too kind for me." She joked.
"Lets hope not."
Just then, two more fancy dressed people came through the door. Kagome didn't notice, neither did Inuyasha. And the two didn't notice Kagome or Inuyasha.
The waiter came back with Kagome's and Inuyasha's drinks, and he placed the water in front of Inuyasha as it knocked against Kagome's sweet tea. When it knocked, it knocked over onto Kagome's red dress. "I'm sorry, miss! Here, go to the bathroom and get cleaned up. Please, I'm so sorry!"
"That's okay…excuse me, Inuyasha." She said getting out of the booth and walking to the back into the bathrooms.
Sango and Sesshomaru were sat down next to the booth Inuyasha and Kagome were at, but you couldn't see because a wall acted as a barrier to the two groups. "Excuse me, Sesshomaru. I've got to use the ladies room." She, too, walked to the bathrooms.
They instantly ran into each other.
"Sorry." They said at the same time.
"Sango!" Kagome said.
"Do I know you? You look awfully familiar."
"You don't remember?"
"No."
"I'm Kagome!"
"OH!" Her eyes instantly lit up, and then she remembered Sesshomaru. She was confused, "Are you still with Sesshomaru?"
"Yes."
"Oh no."
"What?"
"I'm here with him."
Kagome's heart fell. "…"
"Who are you here with?"
"Inuyasha…"
"Like when we were younger…" Sango said. "So will you decide who you want? After I realize you're still with Sesshomaru I don't know if I want to stay with him…"
"How long has this been going on?"
"A few weeks."
"He…Heh. I don't care anymore."
"Kagome?"
"Yea?"
"I've got an idea."
"What?"
"Let's pretend we don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's pretend we didn't ever meet up, then we need to meet up somewhere. Both of us, me and Sesshomaru, and you and Inuyasha. They'll have to confront!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea! They'll both be forced to tell the truth."
"Okay."
"But…"
"I'm a little hurt, if that's what you were going to ask."
"Yea…you're okay with doing this?"
"Hai…let's go!"
"Bye!"
"Bye…"
Reviews- Chapter 4
Diana: Lol, apparently…yes. But it gives the story a twist!
Toxiclollipop: Yea, they're both bad for cheating. They'll find out though!
Inhyel: Yea, I wouldn't really buy them either. I guess it's just an expensive shoe store. Lmao, Kagome was smart not to buy them. Sesshomaru was stupid to buy them for Kagome. Okay…it was sweet, but a lot of money.
DarkMale: It's not an enormous TV; it's only 12 inches by 12 inches. I have that size sitting in my room and it's the smallest TV in the house!
Next Update By: Sometime this month…
A kiss on her crimson lips
And she fights back the tears
With death just a moment away,
She preys to stay
I'll love you forever,
I promise
