"Okay, I think I should tell a little more about Koji." Jack started, "He's a very bright young man, but this situation started a long time ago…"
Flashback"What are you doing here?"
"I didn't come to see you…"
"Well, I know that! You are not allowed here anymore!"
"But I just wanted to see…"
"We had a deal! And that deal is final!"
"Not Kagome! She didn't do anything!"
"This is the penalty for betraying my father… my family… and our friendship."
End of flashback"The deal was if he couldn't come up with the money, Kagome was the backup plan sort of. He had no choice so don't judge your grandfather. I was 13 at the time and I was, too, upset that he made that deal. I had cared about you very much, Kagome, but I had no power over the situation. Then the family moved to California to get away from him, Gramps that is, and I move here on a college scholarship. I was, too, keeping an eye on the Keno's. They are a very wealthy family, I don't know why even want the money. That's something I've wanted to know for years. All I know is that Gramps and the head of the family, Haku Keno, were best friends until the fight." Jack explained
"But who's Koji? Some spoiled rich kid?" Sota asked.
"He's mysterious when it comes to his personality. No one really knows him, because he doesn't talk much. He doesn't that many close friends; he just tends to his studies. Girls want him, but he doesn't give them the time of day. He'll follow his grandfather's orders, no hesitations. He knows about the situation and he is okay with it. As long…" Jack answered.
"…As his grandfather is happy." Kagome finished. InuYasha looked at Kagome, he knew what she was thinking… and he didn't like what she was thinking about. InuYasha got up from his seat and left the room. Kagome followed him, concerned if he was upset. She found him on the balcony of the house. He was just looking in the distance, the same face he had when he was sitting on the rock near the spring a couple of days ago. "InuYasha?"
"Don't say anything. I know what your thinking…" He said.
"What am I thinking?" Her voice started to shake, she knew InuYasha was serious, but the way he talks when he is serious, makes her uneasy for some reason. "That if you don't marry Koji, your grandfather will be unhappy… but if you do get married to him… I'd be unhappy." She started to cry, that was exactly what she was thinking. Without even thinking, she just grabbed his waist, and buried her teary eyed face in his chest. He hugged her back, resting his head on top of hers. "InuYasha. I'm so confused, but there is one thing that I'm not confused about. My love for you…"
"I love you, too," InuYasha said, "but like I said before, I'm not letting you get married to him, and I always keep my word."
"So what'll we do?"
"We have to find out the whole story about why your grandfather fought with Koji's grandfather."
"How?"
"I don't know, but I'm not letting you get…" InuYasha stopped himself.
"Not letting me get what?"
"Forget it. It's not important." I almost blabbed! He thought, but she isn't getting killed for no one! "Let's go back. I think we can get some answers from that party we are going to tonight." So they walked back to the room to see that Jack was on the phone. "Who's he talking to?" Kagome asked.
"Mr. Haku Keno." Ms. H said.
"Yes, sir… I'm fine, sir… she is here… no he couldn't make it… I know that was the deal, but sir he has fallen ill… Yes I'm sure he's fine… Of coarse sir… See you later Mr. Keno… okay bye." Jack hung up the phone, "I hate lying, but another part of the deal was that he be here in person or…" he looked at Kagome, "or no deal."
"So when's the party?" Kagome asked.
"Tonight at 7, what everyone is wearing is okay, but there will be a ball soon, so that's when we'll get formal." Jack answered.
"What's the occasion?" Ms. H asked.
"Koji always throws a party… so it's just a little party. The ball is his birthday party."
"So me and Kagome have an idea. If we can find the reason that her grandfather had to pay the money in the first place, maybe we convince them to let it go." InuYasha said.
"That's not a bad idea." Jack said. "We can 'mingle' at the party and get some info from other people."
"Yea!" everyone yelled.
"Umm… Mr. Higurashi?" Leon interrupted.
"Yes Leon?" Jack answered.
"Phone call…"
"Who?"
"It's him, Mr. Koji Keno."
