Blacked Out
Sorry about the last chapter but like I said it was just half of the real chapter. Anyways here is the second half of chapter 6. Oh by the way just to make sure no one gets confused with Sango's pregnancy she's now in her 2 month. I don't want you to get confused now.....
Chapter 6b: Surprises around every corner in the full moon.
They closed their eyes and slept the moonless night away still in each other's embrace. The sun rose and they stirred. They slipped into something comfortable and sat in the kitchen while waiting for Shippo to wake up.
They talked about nothing important, just stuff like when Sango would be expecting and money problems. They just finished their conversation when the little kitsune decided to wake up. Shippo came out and climbed into a chair at the table.
"So what's up for today? More importantly what's for breakfast? I'm starved!" Shippo asked while his stomach growled.
"We're all hungry runt. Can you whip up some ramen for us Kagome?" Inuyasha said.
"Well I'd love to but we have no food here at the moment. How about we get Sango and Miroku and go out to eat? We can get the food for here later. Does that sound good?"
"Well what are we waiting for?" Inuyasha stood up and started heading towards his room. "We don't have all day, let's go already."
Right next door.... (We finally get to see sango and Miroku in there apartment!)
Miroku and Sango sat in there bed also in each other's arms. Miroku moved one of his hands down to her belly and rested it upon the obvious bump. He smiled at Sango and kissed her forehead.
Just the thought of him having kids made smile. He never felt happier. Life as he knew it had totally changed and he supposed for the better. He no longer had the fear of dying, he was married and was expecting, and now he lived in Kagome's time which was totally unexplainable as to how that happened.
Sango snuggled closer to him for warmth but the little moment ended when the sound of knocking could be heard. Kirara mewed to let Miroku know. He got up and put on some jeans and a shirt and quickly made his way to the door to answer it.
He opened it and was immediately pushed aside as Inuyasha came barging in yelling, "Hurry up and get ready 'cause me and Shippo are hungry." Kagome and Shippo were not that far behind.
"Good morning to you too Inuyasha. Are we eating at Midoru's again?" Miroku asked.
"No, we're going somewhere else. Hope you don't mind. We could have it to go if you want." Kagome said.
At that moment Sango came out wearing a very long shirt and had a look of curiosity on her face. "What's going on Miroku? I swear I heard Inuyasha and Kagome in here." That was when she saw them sitting on the couch.
"Oh. What's the occasion? Why are you guys here so early in the morning?"
"Well Kagome wants to eat at another one of those restaurant places again." Miroku politely exclaimed.
"That sounds good! Let me get ready too!"
In no time they were ready to hit the road. Getting into the car, Kagome checked her bag to see if there was enough money and that her keys were there. Off they went into the streets of Tokyo.
She decided that Anno Miller's would be a perfect place to eat breakfast at. (If you've read 'Your and My Secret' then you'd understand but I doubt it. It's a parody of Anna Miller's. ANYWAYS!) They stepped inside, were quickly seated, and were quickly feed!
By the time they got out of the restaurant it was already 10:00 (they were up at 9:00 so that really was some quick service.) so they had a lot of time to kill. Wanting to stick to the schedule, Kagome lead them to the grocery store next.
The last time they went to the store, things kind of got out of hand. It was Sango and Miroku's first time and so they of course got excited and started going through everything. But this time was different, now they knew what they liked to eat. Occasionally they would be adventurous and try something new.
They went down the isles of the store looking at the varieties of food, picking out whatever seemed nesscessary. They finally came to the counter and paid and loaded the stuff in the small car. The clock in the car read 12:00 which was a big surprise because they really did have a lot of time to kill. And so the next stop was home.
Nothing else really happened that day and nothing else really happened in the two weeks that followed. It was now the day before the full moon and so Kagome decided she would go out and secretly get some jobs for Miroku and Inuyasha. She saw an ad in the paper earlier that day and decided to pay this company a visit.
She drove up in front of a huge building with the words 'Silver Fang Inc.' written in big bold silver letters. She walked into a long hallway that lead to another door and upon opening that door she saw the secretary.
She asked the woman behind the desk if she could see the president of the building but was immediately turned when she didn't have an appointment. Kagome sighed in defeat and turned around disappointed.
As she walked towards the door leading into the hallway, a silver-like blur blocked her. She looked up to see the tall figure before her with golden eyes and silver hair, but it wasn't Inuyasha. It was Sesshoumaru!
"I thought I smelled you. You're that girl who would always hang out with my pathetic brother. Yet you seem quite different. You're a hanyou now aren't you? Anyways, what brings you here?"
"Uh...yeah I am a hanyou now, but look at you! I mean I'd ask the same thing because you've certainly changed too! You cut your hair and got new clothes! That's quite a surprise but you still kept your tail. (I love sesshou's fluff!) Do you work here or something?"
"Yes, well living for over 500 years, a change is definitely in need. As for me working here, I'm the president."
"WHAT?!"
"Is there a problem with that? And you still haven't answered my question." His eyes narrowed and stared intensely at Kagome.
"There's no problem at all. It's just that....the reason I'm here is.... I was hoping....youdletmirokuandinuyashaworkhere." Kagome said as quickly as she could. Sesshoumaru looked shocked like as if someone just shot him. (Could you imagine that? Sesshoumaru shocked? LOL!)
He quickly regained his composure and looked at Kagome again. "Why don't we discuss this some more over lunch?" He turned around and started walking in a different direction then she intended but she followed him all the way to his car.
They drove to a small but private coffee shop and sat down near the window. They put in their orders and while they waited their earlier conversation was continued.
"So you were hoping I'd hire Inuyasha and that monk friend of yours, Miroku right? I highly doubt they would be of use to me because they don't have the proper skills, but I'll think of something."
"Oh my God! So you'll hire them? Thank you so much!"
"Yes, but why do you want me to hire them?"
"I have my reasons...."
"And how exactly did you bring the monk here? Did you bring the other people in that little group of yours?"
"We found a way to bring them here after Sango found out she was pregnant!"
"Ah. That explains why I couldn't find that little brother of mine. So the taijiya is pregnant. By the monk I presume?"
"Yeah! How did you know?"
"Well the two seemed to be all over each other already. Anyways, I don't mean to be rude or anything but can I ask what those reasons you mentioned early are? You don't have to tell me but I'm just curious."
"Oh, you have every right to be curious! Well one of the reasons is because we need the money and I don't want to mooch off my mom forever. Another reason is Sango's pregnancy and I'm sure that they would need some stuff. The last reason is that Inuyasha and I are getting married and we don't have enough money. Even if it's going to be a small wedding...."
"Those are all good reasons. What's this about a wedding? So you and my little brother are mates now too? Took you guys long enough. I'll tell you what, I'll sponsor you're wedding. You'll have the money and everything you need but on one condition."
"What might that condition be?" The food finally arrived and was passed out. Kagome still waited for Sesshoumaru to answer before eating her food.
"You have to find me a mate as well." He said taking the fork.
"That won't be so hard what kind of girl do you like?"
"It doesn't matter..." He sounded as if he were lonely. I mean Jaken was still around but the toad was starting to really get on his nerves. After the death of Rin he tried to get over it because she was just a human but he couldn't.
It seemed like the little girl who grew up and left to start her own family rubbed off on the guy. He wasn't so stern or serious anymore. Kagome looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
"It's okay, I don't need your pity but that's the one condition. So if you want me to sponsor you then you better get to it." He tried to say that as a rude remark but it didn't work.
The rest of their lunch was quiet. Kagome talked about some other things to lighten the mood. Sesshoumaru drove her back and said that he would call her if he found a job for them.
She drove back home still thinking about her lunch with Sesshoumaru. 'Wait till Inuyasha hears about this.' She thought. She climbed up the stairs and unlocked the door. She opened it and was immediately tackled by Shippo.
"Hey Kagome! Where have you been all day? Inuyasha was worried sick!"
Shippo jumped down from Kagome's shoulder and walked inside followed by Kagome. "Well I went to go do an errand. You won't believe who I ran into while I was out!"
"Welcome home Kagome." Inuyasha said as he walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead. "Who did you see?"
"It was your brother Sesshoumaru!"
Inuyasha's eyes started to fill with anger but also with worry. "Why is he still here? What did he want from you? More importantly what did he do to you?"
"Calm down Inuyasha its okay. Actually the reason I bumped into him is because I was looking for a job."
"Why?"
"Well it's not really for me....but for you and Miroku! I don't want you guys sitting on you ass all day long. Plus yesterday I signed you up to learn how to drive because I'm not going to do it all the time."
"What?! How come I have to do it? Why can't Miroku?"
"Because I said so. Oh yeah, Inuyasha can we go and visit Kaede? There's so much I want to tell her!"
Inuyasha looked kind of reluctant because he still didn't tell her that he used the jewel, but he played along so as to not make her mad. I mean it was one thing to say no but to say no and have her go anyways only to find out she can't get back? He didn't want that to happen.
Kagome took Shippo's hand and walked out the door followed by Inuyasha who locked it. (Now you must be thinking 'he's way to short to be walking right next to Kagome without dangling.' Well guess what he finally grew a bit taller.)
They walked down the street and walked across to the Higarashi Shrine. Kagome's grandfather was outside and was sweeping as usual. They said hi and walked to the well. Kagome looked at it for a few seconds before walking towards it.
Inuyasha reached out his hand and grabbed Kagome's hand in his own. She looked at him and then at the well. She sat on the wood looking down at the bottom. Her feet dangling as she got ready to jump. She got into her position and was about to jump when Inuyasha stopped her.
"Kagome, I really don't think you want to go through the well."
"Why not? I just want to see Kaede. It won't be for long. I mean it's not as though I'll encounter a demon while I walk through the forest."
"It's not because of that it's just that it might not be the right time. Maybe another time...."
"That's funny Inuyasha. You don't want me to go back? If we didn't defeat Naraku already you would be pushing me like crazy to go through. I promise, I'll be back in 5 minutes."
"But...." Too late. Kagome already jumped in and with a thud she hit the ground. She looked up expecting to see a clear blue sky and the sounds of birds chirping but all she saw were Inuyasha and Shippo looking down at her.
"Wha....what happened? How come I didn't go through?"
"I was trying to tell you Kagome...."
"Inuyasha you still have the jewel on you right? Let me use it real quick...."
"Kagome listen to me!" he said with a firm voice. "I wanted to tell you earlier but I was so worried you would get mad. Kagome, I used the jewel to turn you into a hanyou."
"And you think that telling me now would make me less mad at you? Inuyasha, you should have told me earlier!" She jumped out and landed next to Inuyasha. She had a look of disappointment and anger. She started to cry a bit but after a while they became sobs. She fell to the floor and started crying. Inuyasha knelt down and wrapped his strong arms around her whispering his sorry over and over again.
"I'm so sorry Kagome but I told Kaede a head of time that when I use it, you wouldn't be able to come back. I'm so very sorry; I really did want to tell you earlier."
She leaned in closer to his embrace and cried on his chest making her tears soak his shirt. "I wanted to see her so much. I wanted to tell her that we were getting married and that Sango and Miroku settled right in. I wanted to tell her all that and more but now I can't."
"I'm so sorry Kagome...." Inuyasha let her go when she stood up. He watched her as she wiped her tears away frantically. He got up as well and hugged Kagome from behind.
"What a touching scene. Too bad, it's going to have to end here." Said the unknown voice. A person stepped out from hiding and crossed their arms. "Girl, let Inuyasha go. You're coming with me!" the person ordered.
"Ayame?! Why are you here? Is Kouga with you?" Kagome asked.
"How do you know my name? It doesn't matter; Kouga asked if I would take you back with me. He's busy doing something else at the moment though. Anyways, come with me or your little kitsune here will get a big boo-boo, one that can't be fixed."
Ayame held up poor Shippo by the tail. He was crying and kicking around. "Let me go! Kagome help me!"
"I'm sick and tired of this. Let Shippo go Ayame."
"Why should I? I don't listen to the likes of you. Hmph, the nerve of ordering around a demon when they are merely a hanyou. Just hand of the girl and I'll let go of the kitsune."
"Inuyasha, its okay I'll go with her." Kagome walked forward and Ayame did as she promised. She dropped the kitsune and grabbed Kagome's hand.
"You're coming with me. Yay! Now Kouga will be so happy. This is bound to make him love me more!"
"Is that why you're kidnapping me? So that Kouga will love you more?"
"Apparently, now shut up and start moving."
Kagome started walking forward followed by Ayame and then Inuyasha and Shippo. Inuyasha looked amused while Shippo looked confused. I mean Ayame wasn't even trying to prevent Kagome from escaping, she didn't even tie Kagome up, and she just walked right next to Kagome. Not only that but she was casually talking to her as if they were old friends.
Inuyasha and Shippo followed Ayame all the way to Kouga's apartment still surprised by the fact that Ayame didn't stop them. They walked inside the apartment too and stayed their till 7:00. Meanwhile, Kouga and Kikyo were looking for Sango and Miroku's apartment.
They followed Sango and Miroku home but kind of got lost on the way. "This is all your fault Kouga. Why did you have to say you were hungry? WHY? We could've forced the information from them already but NO you just had to say 'I'm hungry let's go eat at Wacdnald's, it won't be long'. HMPH yeah right! You took like an hour to order and an hour to eat the damn stuff."
"Hey, it's not my fault that I got hungry all of a sudden so don't blame this all on me. I mean what about you? You stopped us to go look at some shoes that were on display. You said 'I have to go buy them! They're on sale and they're so cheap!' WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT HUH?"
"I say SHUT UP! MY FAMILY AND I ARE TRYING TO HAVE SOME QUIET TIME!" A man yelled from on of the upper levels.
"Sorry sir." Kouga yelled back. "Where were we? Oh yeah, let's get back to searching for Inuyasha's friends."
"Can't you remember their scent? Gosh you're pathetic."
"Like you could do any better....wait, got it! I found their scent, let's go." Kouga ran to the fourth floor and whizzed passed a couple of rooms until he landed in front of room number 427. He waited for Kikyo to catch up before knocking on the door.
He waited for the door to open and slowly Miroku came out. "Hey there buddy." Kouga said as he pushed Miroku in. Kikyo came in after him. "Do you mind if you tell us a few things? It really won't take long. We just need you to truthfully answer our questions otherwise we will force it out of you."
"Just shut up Kouga and let me handle this. It's exactly what Kouga said now if you if give us a fake answer it will only result in your death." Kikyo pushed Miroku on the couch and Kouga brought out a struggling Sango.
"You have got to be kidding me! Fine, I'll answer your stupid questions just don't hurt Sango. Let her go or I won't answer your questions."
"Have it your way. Kouga let the girl go. Anyways, here is your first question. When and where is this wedding going to be?"
"How....how did you find out about that?"
"Ah ah! You didn't answer my question."
"Err...fine it's at the Higarashi Shrine 2 months from now at 1:30 in the afternoon." 'At least that's what Midoru said.' Miroku glared at Kouga and Kikyo and turned to see if his wife was alright.
"That's a good boy. See if you just answer it immediately nothing will happen to you and your precious wife. Second question, will there be a reception and if there is one where?"
"Yes there might be one if Inuyasha and Kagome have enough money. Where it is? I don't at the moment."
"I guess those are all the questions, but if we have more we will be sure to call you. You cannot tell Kagome and Inuyasha that we were even here and that we had nothing to do with you. Alright? If we find out that you did tell, consequences will be made. Have a good evening. Let's go Kouga, with all this interrogating I'm hungry."
"Oh and I'm supposed to feed you? For the love of Pete! You're just like Ayame, always complaining...." Kouga's voice trailed off as the two walked down the hallway.
Sango and Miroku just looked at each other for a minute. They both didn't know what to say! All they knew was that things were heading for the worst now that they found out.
Kouga and Kikyo made their way to Kouga's apartment. It was now 7:30 and both were now pretty hungry. They stepped inside and saw Ayame already waiting at the table with a big smile on her face.
"Welcome home Kouga! I did as you asked and brought the girl back."
"What?! Really?! Where is she, where is Kagome?"
"Well she said she had to go home so I let her. She's such a nice girl. We became friends! Isn't that great Kouga?"
"NO it's not great. You were supposed to keep her here till I came back! Why did you let her go? Dammit Ayame, can't you ever listen to me once?"
"Well sorry! I don't remember you saying you wanted me to keep her here." The two quarreled and Kikyo just ate her food and watched the entertainment.
Back to Kagome and Inuyasha.....
Ayame let them go home without any complaint and so they made their way back to the apartment. Stepping inside Inuyasha flopped himself on the couch and turned on the television. Kagome turned on the answering machine to hear the messages they missed. One was from Midoru saying when they will plan some more for the wedding. Another one was from Sesshoumaru.
"Kagome, this is Sesshoumaru. You asked for two jobs right? Well I found some that are up to standards for Inuyasha and Miroku. See me tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. and tell the secretary next time that you are to see me even if you don't have an appointment. Also bring Inuyasha with you, I would like to see my little brother after he supposedly disappeared for 500 years. Have a good evening."
"Well Inuyasha? You heard Sesshoumaru. You're gonna see him again and boy won't you be surprised."
"Eh, fine. Like I could complain."
There was one more message on the phone from Miroku. He sounded kind of worried, as if something happened. He said that he wanted to talk to Shippo about something. Not wasting anytime, Kagome sent the Shippo next door.
Miroku answered it and let the kitsune in. Shippo was kind of curious as to what was wrong. Sango and Miroku looked so uneasy. That was when Miroku talked.
"Shippo the reason I asked for you is that Kikyo and Kouga came to us just a while ago and asked questions about the wedding. How they found out, I don't know but they told us not to tell Inuyasha or Kagome that they were here."
"And how does this involve me?"
"We can't tell Inuyasha or Kagome but we can tell you. They wanted to know when and where the wedding was and if we didn't say they would've killed us. We don't want Kikyo and Kouga ruining Inuyasha and Kagome's wedding. Don't tell them just yet I mean right now we need to find a way to stop them."
"Okay I won't but what can I do?"
"We'll have to think about it. That's all I needed to tell you so you can go back if you want."
"Okay then. See you tomorrow."
Shippo opened the door to his apartment and saw his foster parents making out on the couch. Paying no attention to it he slammed the door making himself known and walked to his room. Inuyasha and Kagome broke apart and watched Shippo's retreating form before starting up again. They ended up sleeping on the couch until morning came.
It was now 7:30 in the morning and the couple was up and running. They left the apartment at 1:00 so as to not be late for Sesshoumaru's appointment. Walking up to the secretary's desk, Kagome told her that Sesshoumaru asked for her to come. She and Inuyasha were immediately escorted to Sesshoumaru's office.
They stepped inside this huge room with a big desk and behind that was a tall leather chair in which sat Sesshoumaru. He was facing the window which over looked most of the streets in Tokyo. The secretary went out and closed the door.
Sesshoumaru turned around and looked at Kagome then Inuyasha. Inuyasha gawked at him because he looked so different. Sesshoumaru gestured for them to sit down and they complied. A few moments of silence passed between them before Sesshoumaru grabbed some files that were on his desk.
"Well. It's good to see you again Inuyasha. How long has it been since you disappeared? 500 years, I believe so we have quite a lot to catch up on. The reason I asked for you to come was that Kagome here has asked for a job."
"I know she told me yesterday."
"Yes well I have found some suitable jobs in my company. Both are jobs that come to your standards but they will be supervised by me."
"So I'm working directly for you?"
"That is the plan. I won't give anything to hard. They will be simple things like errands and stuff. There will be times when I give paper work but those are easy too. You'll get paid 85,000 yen I do think that should be enough at the moment." (I really don't know if that's enough. I'm from America so I don't yen that well.)
"Okay. Kagome, would that be enough to pay off the reception?"
"Oh you don't need to worry about that. I told Kagome that I would pay for all of your needs at your wedding." Sesshoumaru smirked when he saw Inuyasha's surprised face.
"What?! You told him we're getting married?!"
"Yes well it kind of blurted out. He said he would pay for everything but on one condition."
"And I do hope you haven't forgotten what that was." Sesshoumaru said as he leaned in closer.
"Not at all. You were looking for mate right? You didn't say what you liked in a girl."
"WHAT?! He wants a girl? What about Rin, what happened to her?"
"Inuyasha! That was rude."
"It's okay Kagome I really don't mind. My brother is like that. To answer your question Inuyasha, she died a long time ago and to answer your question Kagome, I would have to say that if you weren't going to get married to my brother I would have chosen you. Your kindness reminds me of Rin, my precious little Rin."
"Why you no good...." Inuyasha rose form his chair to strangle his brother but Kagome stopped him. She had never seen nor heard Sesshoumaru open up like thus.
"I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean it like that because Kagome has already chosen a good mate. Congratulations little brother."
"What's the matter with you? This isn't the Sesshoumaru I know. You're usually mean and cruel and so stern. What happened to you?" Inuyasha sat back down.
"It must be Rin. She must have rubbed off on me...."
"It's okay Sesshoumaru I will find someone suitable for you." Kagome said.
"Thank you....."
Their appointment ended and so they went home. Kagome decided to take a shower and walked into the bathroom. She took off the ribbon that tied down her dog ears but when she took them off they weren't there.
"Inuyasha! Look I'm a human again! The full moon must be my night to change back."
Inuyasha came into the bathroom to see if she wasn't joking. It was true! Since it was Kagome's night to become a human again she decided to take this chance to hang out with her friends. After she took her shower of course. That night Kagome and Inuyasha dropped off Shippo at Midoru's house and went clubbing with Kagome's friends, along with Sango and Miroku.
They stayed until late at night, dancing until they could dance no more. They didn't arrive home until 2:00 a.m. and were so tired they didn't bother to change their clothes. So ended Kagome's one night to become human again.
WOW! That was a long chapter. This time it was 4,703 words. I beat the 4th chapter by 100 words. Well a little less but still. I hope that made up for the last chapter. This is a little present before school starts up once more so I hoped you enjoyed. This time I really do ask for 15 or more reviews because I don't know when I'll update again. I need to think about what's going to happen next.
