Future Lives

Chapter 3

Oh He is so… dead?

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the fabulous characters; I can only wish to own something as great as it.

Last time on Future Lives…

Kagome suddenly sat bolt up in her bed, her blankets were strewn about. The memory suddenly coming back to her of all her friends, when she suddenly realized that she had some one to kill… well maybe not kill just mortally injure. "INUYASHA! I'm going to KILL YOU!"

Somewhere not so far away…

Inuyasha looked up from where he had just landed. He had heard some one scream his name… and that they were going to kill him… and knew right then and there that he was in some serious trouble, "Hmmm, I better ask Shippou what her favorite flower is and send her dozens, and I better hid afterward."

Several days after the dream Kagome had calmed down quiet a bit, though no longer wanting to kill or wound the bastard she had just decided to sit him as hard as she could. She had had the change in heart because yesterday she had received a vase of her favorite flowers, Sakura's, with a little note telling her that he, Inuyasha, was very sorry. Now that she remembered everything there was still just this one little thing she couldn't figure out; why in the 7 blazes of hell was Sesshomaru allowing her to work for him. 'I mean he must know that I am the same woman that followed Inuyasha around several hundreds of years ago?' This really puzzled Kagome to no end till on day she just got so stump that, with out thinking, she just marched her happy butt into his office to find out way he allowed her there. "Mr. Tanaka Mon, Sesshomaru, why did you give me a job! I know you have to know who I am."

"Miss. Hirogashi, I have no idea what you are talking about. Now get out and leave me be, I have work to do." An older, yet young looking, Sesshomaru said.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm that sniveling little human that use to fallow Inuyasha around." Kagome said snidely.

"Shut up, I know exactly what you are talking about. I only gave you this job because my brother asked me to. He wanted you to be safe, happy, and carefree, until he found you and was able to take care of you, and hopefully raise a family with you. My little brother has never up some much for anyone in his life, not even for that clay pot before she was that." Kagome just stood there shocked. She had never heard Sesshomaru talk about Inuyasha like that before. She was wrong to be angry at Inuyasha for what he did years ago.

"Sess… Mr. Tanaka Mon where… where is your brother now? If you don't know or wish to tell me that is fine." Kagome asked a little taken aback.

"I do not know where my brother is, but… I have his cell phone number. That was the only new electronical devise I could pursued him into getting, here take it and go. We both have a lot of work to do." Sesshomaru said passing a small business sized card to her.

Kagome sat in her living room looking at the small card Sesshomaru had given her earlier. She had the phone in her hand, she wanted to call him, but she was unsure of what to say to him. "I… I have to do it, I miss him so much." Dialing the number Kagome punched the talk button; the phone rang several times before…

"He… He… hello Kagome…" it was his voice only much older.

Smiling Kagome looked at her watch and said, "Inuyasha, it is good to hear your voice again. Will you please come and visit me… I will have the man downstairs let you in… I… I want to see, I've missed you. There is also some thing that I want to tell you."

"Well... uh… what would that be?" Inuyasha asked nervously.

"Inuyasha, please trust me on this, please. I need to see you, so please come over." Kagome said desperately.

Sighing, Inuyasha agreed and told her that he would be there in about an hour, considering that he lived outside of Tokyo.

After hanging up with Inuyasha, Kagome called down stairs and told them to let Inuyasha in when he arrived. Then she showered, and fixed her hair. Afterwards she made two bowls of instant Raman and sat out chopsticks right as the door bell rang.

The moment she opened the door she saw Inuyasha exactly the way he looked the last time she had saw him, Feudal era him that is. Suddenly she felt warm salty tears run down her eyes and she new that she had never really forgotten him. She had held the memory of him deep inside her subconscious. "Oh, Inuyasha…" She suddenly flung herself into his arms, her tears falling freely, "… I've missed you so much. I don't know what you wished for, but you shouldn't have. I would have stayed with you, I swear I would have. I loved you so much, and I still do." Suddenly she crushed her lips to his, it was a short kiss, but the passion was there.

When they finally broke apart, Inuyasha looked down at her and pushed her into her room, closing the door behind them. "Kagome, you don't… do I smell Raman?"

Smiling, Kagome nodded, "Nothing gets by that nose, does it?" Then she led him to the table and they ate Raman together.

"So how did Shippou take it?" Kagome asked as she started to clean up the table.

"Oh, Kagome don't do that, I'll get those." Inuyasha said before answering her. "Shippou probably took it the worst, but he grew out of it. I took over the parenting job for you and he grew up to a fine young demon, if I do say so myself."

"You raised Shippou… willingly?" Kagome asked stunned.

"It was the least I could do. He had no home or family, and Miroku and Sango couldn't take him, they had enough as it was. It was my fault, so I took him."

"I just can't see it… that is just so out of character of you." Kagome said as they walked into the living room.

Kagome looked at the clock and say that it was 12:19 when Inuyasha said, "Well Kagome, I'm going to go home, goodnight."

"Wait, don't go… will you stay here with me… for old times sakes?" Kagome asked timidly.

"You want me to spend the night, here?" Inuyasha asked getting a nod from Kagome. "Kagome I would be glad to."

Then Inuyasha started to fold out the sofa when Kagome stopped him, "No, not in here… in my room… with me." Inuyasha was shocked and without words, so he just followed Kagome into her bedroom.

When they got into her room, she went to the bathroom to change, emerging in small silk pajamas. She then crawled into bed and offered him a spot, which he nervously took. "Don't worry Inuyasha, I just want to sleep like we use to in Keade's hut." Sighing Inuyasha nodded and propped himself up with pillows, as Kagome snuggled into her blankets. Then Kagome sighed saying, something Inuyasha never thought he would hear from her, "I love you, Inuyasha."
