Well, I'm halfway done now. Just a few more chapters and you all can be happy! Or upset. Whatever suits you...
Chapter Six: Surprising Calls
What idiot calls me and expects me to NOT rip him to shreds? No one even has my home phone number. Then again, they have to call on my home since a certain hanyou pissed me off and caused me to shatter my phone. I walk to the phone then growl at it. It rings once more then I pick it up and hold it to my ear.
"Hello?" I ask dully. This had better be something interesting.
"Mr. Taisho! How good to know this is your phone!" Some guy says. I stare directly ahead of me, trying to figure out who this is. He hasn't called this phone before, and he sounds pretty relieved. Perhaps he hasn't called before.
"Yes, this is my phone. Who is this?" I ask. My thumb rests on the off button, just in case I don't like who I'm talking to.
"This is Miroku... I'm one of Kagome Higurashi's friends." He says. I bite my lip gently as I try to think of him.
"Weren't you the pervert who keptgrabbing the other woman's ass?" I ask him. I hear a nervous laugh, which tells me it is him.
"Yes... That's me... But I called to invite you to something!" He says. I glare at the wall in front of me, as if it'll make this pervert leave me alone.
"What? I'm not going to a bar with you just because you want to thank me for getting Ms. Higurashi out." I say rudely. Perhaps if I show him no kindness, he'll get off the phone. I don't like talking to him due to the fact that he's a pervert. I can almost garuntee that he's already tried to grab Kagome too. Just the thought of that makes me want to rip the phone to shreds.
"No, I wasn't going to invite you to a bar." He says. I let out an inaudible sigh then sit down on the couch. That's a relief.
"Then what are you inviting me to?" I ask.
"We're celebrating Kagome's freedom. There's a resturaunt called the Seaside Hut, and I'm hoping you'll meet us there." He says. I let myself smile (since I am alone), and look at the stack of books on my coffee table.
"Why are you inviting me? I'm her lawyer." I say calmly. I'm curious why they would think to invite me, when no one mentioned our relationship to them. But, if Kagome had mentioned it, then she is happy with it.
"Oh? She says things that make you sound like a couple. Not to mention, she was talking about you quite a lot. I assume she has feelings for you from that..." He says. He sounds confused, as if I was supposed to know all this.
"Hmm... Alright, I'll go. What time should I try to be there?" I ask him. I get up and walk to my room so I can find something else to wear. It'll be somewhat formal, but it won't be the suit I was wearing in court. That's too much.
"Be there in... Sango and Kagome are still getting ready, so... Be there in one and a half to two hours." He says. I look at my clock before groaning. What would I do for that long!
"Alright. I will see you then, Miroku." I say. I hang up the phone then put it back on the phone hook. I begin to pull a shirt off of one of the hangers before the phone rings again. How many people have this number! I pick it up, trying to keep my fist from tightening over it and breaking it. Then I'd have no phone for people to call me on. That's be relieving, yet irritating.
"Hello?" I ask through clenched teeth.
"Hi, big bro!" I hear someone say on the other line. I let my quiet growl grow louder, so he can know that I don't enjoy his call.
"What now, Inuyasha?" I ask, trying to keep from murdering another phone. I grab the headset from the drawer by the phone and set it up. There, now I can't squeeze the phone to death.
"Have any plans tonight?" He asks.
"I do, but it doesn't include you." I tell him in my rudest tone. He doesn't get it, because he keeps talking.
"Are you available the rest of the week?" He asks me.
"Sorry, little brother. I don't go on dates with men." I tell him.
"Shut up! It's not a date!" He snaps.
"Oh? Sure sounds like a date." I tell him.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asks. I blink then shake my head. Why is he interested? Is he stalking me so he can get a hit man to kill me so he can get a job at father's firm. Wait... No, he can't think that much. Nevermind.
"Why do you want to know?" I ask.
"So I can avoid you. I'm going to meet my girlfriend tonight and I want to make sure that we don't run into you." He says.
"Since I would appreciate not seeing you, I'll let you know. I'm going to the Seaside Hut to meet my client and her friends. She got out and they're celebrating." I tell him. It grows quiet on the other line, meaning he must be thinking out loud.
"What's her name?" He suddenly asks. I hesitate on telling him before my stupid side (the side that thinks I should be nicer to Inuyasha) gives in.
"Kagome Higurashi. Now, little brother. I am going to hang up with you before you cause me to rip another phone to shreds. Bye!" I say. I hang the phone up then put it back on the recharger. I stick the phone headset back in the drawer and stare at it.
"What was I doing, again?" I ask myself. I stare at it for a while before my memory returns. I was getting clothes together for Kagome's party. The thought of calling it a party is enough to intimidate me.
I notice the shirt that's hanging off the hanger. I smile to myself then pull it off and search for a pair of pants. After finding one, I pick both up and close my door. Whether or not I live alone, I close the doors. Patrick likes to come in randomly and talk to me. It gets annoying when I'm taking a shower and he's talking to me casually.
I dress into a black dress shirt and black pants. I don't enjoy the color black, it just happens that most of my clothes are that color. Black and white are formal colors and all my white clothes are being washed at the cleaners. What? Did you expect me to know how to wash my own clothes?
I grab my keys and my wallet. I'll have to stop by the bank before I go. I intend on paying for the check - however much that may be. I walk out to my care, sighing.
Now, why would Inuyasha be so interested in where I was going and the name of who I was going with? He hardly even cares for his jobs, let alone the people from my jobs. We don't get along, so I know that he wouldn't have called me unless he had to. He has his own agenda for what I told him, but what?
He doesn't know Kagome, and he doesn't want to bump into me. Perhaps he's going to poison my food? Then why would he care for the name of who got out of prison? I bite my lip before my eyes widen. No, that's not... That can't be right. It shouldn't be right. The world is such a small place, and I feel as though I'm trapped out of it. He's trying to avoid me, but there's something else he's planning.
I get in my car and quickly start the ignition. If I turned the key any faster, it'd break off. I drive to the bank quickly. She won't be there yet, so I won't be able to tell her. I walk up to the bank and pull out around $300. I get back in my car, trying to calm down. I take a few deep breathes before I drive over to the office. This will confirm whether or not I'm right.
I just hope I'm not.
Sorry, everyone. I know it's a bit short, but I don't know what do put in this chapter or the next one. You see, they're mainly about Kagome and I don't know what Sesshoumaru should do.
Oh, don't expect any updates tomorrow (December 30th). FanFiction is doing some maitenence and there's no working on the stories or uploading chapters allowed. Sorry! Also, I'm about to go back into school once again (break is over). I'm sorry, but this means less updates as I deal with my failing grades. -cough-Science-cough-
