She hesitated to answer it. The call was a blocked number but she knew who it was, she knew that it was him, who ever him may be. She let the phone ring over and over again, debating whether she should answer it or not. Every ring that sounded out was nagging her to pick it up and when she was about to press send the phone went silent. She sat there waiting for who ever were calling her to call back but as an hour passed no one did.
"I better get ready." She got up and took a shower and when she was done she put on a strapless blue dress and applied a light layer of make-up. No one called her for hours as she got ready and that made her worry. What if I did something wrong? What if he kills some one because I didn't answer the phone.
She sat there for a long while just thinking and as minutes past another ring sounded through out the room. She picked up the phone that rested beside her on the bed and she almost dropped the blue phone before answering it but the line was dead. No one was calling her but a loud shriek rang out again and she got up. She picked up her phone on her nightstand and answered it with a quick hello.
"Kagome I have some bad news." Kagome looked at the phone and it was Kira's number but not him but her sister Sango.
"What is it?" She said monotonously.
"You're brothers grave has been dug up. We don't know who have did such a thing but we're investigating on the case." She literally felt her heart speed up as she listened. She had to play it cool and to sound as convincing as possible. She gripped the necklace tightly and started.
"What! My brother's grave! How why!"
"Kagome please calm yourself down. It happened two days ago. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I didn't have any idea how to tell you this. I'm sorry."
"But why?" Her voice was trembling. "Is my brother's body untouched is everything okay with the coffin."
"No Kagome, His chest was completely sliced open with a saw. It won't be showing on the news don't worry it is all confidential and we're making sure that this doesn't go out to the press. I'm doing as much as I can to find out who did this." Sango let out a sigh and it seemed like she was staying up all day, her voice was somewhat soft and distorted.
"Thank you. But how about my mom and dad and Ayame please don't tell me-"
"It was only your brothers grave. The others are fine. This case is going to be difficult, we've been looking all around the area for clues but we didn't find anything, no shoe prints, no fingerprints, nothing. All we have is a saw, a rope tied to a head stone and a shovel, no prints on the shovel or nothing it was all clean. It seemed like a one man job but we might be wrong." Sango let out an irritable sigh and Kagome was happy. Not happy that she was the one that had disturbed the grave but happy that she wasn't going to get caught. She still felt bad and wasn't happy at all that she did that in the first place but she had to. She had no choice. There was a long pause for a minute or two until Kagome sniffed as if she was crying.
"This is horrible. I want to help, to catch the person. I-I can't imagine-" Her voice trailed off as she began to cry out of guilt and fear.
"Just calm down. We'll take care of everything. Oh and I heard you have a date with my brother so don't cry. Have a good time and let me worry about this. And if you're wondering how he got the reservations it was all my doing but don't tell him, he'll get mad because he wants to get all the credit and land a kiss on you." She laughed.
"Like he doesn't already land kisses on me. It's not like it's anything new but thanks any way. I better get ready and I'll talk to you later. Please don't hesitate to call me if anything comes up."
"Of course. Bye and don't forget to have fun." Kagome smiled as she hung up the phone but soon dropped on her back and stared at the ceiling.
"This is getting to complicating." She said as she grabbed the blue phone that laid beside her and put it in her purse. She had to call Kira to set the date in plan. She dialed his number absolutely forgetting that Sango had his phone and could have just asked for him. So she waited as it began to ring.
Everything went as perfect as it should be and she hopped it would stay perfect just until this date was over. Sesshomaru picked her up and they walked to the restaurant that wasn't to far away while Satoru waited for her at the Restaurant. Ren made sure that their tables were far enough for her to get back and fourth quickly but out of site. All she had to do was equal the time she spent with both of the boys and only pray that they wouldn't find out.
So they got to the restaurant where hordes of people lined up to go in. The both walked to the front desk, after saying his name they waited for a matter of seconds before a familiar voice broke out.
"Hey you two." Ren said with a smile as she held menus in her hand. "Right this way."
"Ren? I didn't know you worked here." Sesshomaru asked monotony.
"Yeah one of my little secrets. Well right this way." She repeated as she motioned them to there seat set right next to the glass wall full of fishes. Kagome wasn't really enjoying the scenery as much as she wanted to. She was to worried to do so and as they took there seats, Sesshomaru pulling out Kagome's chair to take a seat, Ren went up to her and leaned over to her ear.
"Kira's down the aisle to the left under the canopied table." Kagome nodded as Ren set the menus down in front of the couple and slightly bowed her head. "Well you know who I am so I'm not going to be so polite as I am already. These rich bastards can be such bitches." She whispered. "Well order up and I'll get you your spring water that is fresh from the water falls of the mountains which I don't know what mountain but yeah. I'll get the tap water." She smiled and went down the aisle.
She was fidgeting a lot than she usual did when she was at school although she did calm down when she stared at Sesshomaru leaning his chin on his hand, admiring the fishes. It was like he admired the vicious looking sharks than the beautifully colored fishes. It was cute when he picked her up at her front door. It was like a book, the usual flowers and him all dressed up in a tux. It was different but she could tell that he was uncomfortable in it.
"Like the view?" Sesshomaru immediately looked at her as she smiled.
"Not really but now I do." He smiled and Kagome couldn't help but blush. Ever since Kira came into the picture all she saw in Sesshomaru was anger, jealousy and hate. Now he's relaxed and actually smiling at her.
"You know that is so corny." She laughed as she took a look at her menu. "Well it's quite expensive. Jezz." She widened her eyes at the high prices and sighed. She didn't bring that much cash on her even though Sesshomaru insisted that he was buying she still brought money so she could talk him into just paying half.
"Don't worry about the prices Kagome." He looked down at him menu also as Ren approached the table.
"Okay here's your spring that is really tap..water and Sesshomaru, you don't mind if I steal Kagome away for a couple of minutes. I have to show her the kitchen it's awesome." He raised an eyebrow. "It really great. Didn't Kagome tell you she wanted to become a chief so I asked if she could look inside for a while." She winked at Kagome who looked confussed but soon nodded.
"Yeah just for a few minutes. You don't mind do you Sesshomaru?"
"No. Go right a head. That's fine with me." She smiled at got up as Ren led her down the aisle.
"How did you come up with something like that?" Kagome whispered as they continued down the aisle.
"While I was at home. I was thinking about how you could save your bathroom excuse so I came up with that one. Now I'll come to your table when Sesshomaru gets a little edgy okay."
"Ren I so owe you one."
"I know now go." She pushed her to the right and she immediately spotted Kira waiting patiently.
She let out a sigh as she approached. "Sorry I took so long. I didn't know where the restaurant was."
"I could have picked you up."
"I know but I had to do something before I got here." She took a seat and she thought to herself how long this night was going to be. She glanced at her watch and she noticed it was only 10 minutes since she got here and she was already feeling exhausted.
"You seem a bit jumpy." He said as he took a sip of water that was set on the table.
"I'm not jumpy. I'm just overwhelmed that all. This place is beautiful." He showed her his same old smile and placed his hand on hers. She stared at him as his face showed a sort of tensed expression.
"I'm glade you came. I was afraid you just left me here."
"Of course not. You did so much for me I wouldn't do that to you." As always, guilt pressed upon her chest as she stared at his chaste smile. He was like an angel, always looking out for her, always being there for her and trying his best to make her smile. Kagome was everything to him and she just wish she could return the same feelings.
"Well I just-"
"Kira." She interrupted. "You know on my birthday, in the park where you said that Sango's family wasn't your real family. Is that true. I mean if it isn't than we can let the subject go, maybe I was just hearing things and-"
"You weren't hearing things. What I said back there was true." He down cast his eyes at the table and smiled gently. "My mother died a long time ago and my father wasn't there to support us. So I ran away from home before they ever got a chance to send me to an orphanage. That is where I met Sango and her family adopted me."
"I'm sorry I had to ask but I just wanted to get things cleared. I didn't mean to ruin your whole night."
"You didn't ruin it. It was a simple question that I answered. You can ask me anything about my life, It kind of makes me happy that you're even interested in my plain old boring-"
"So is the happy couple doing alright?" Ren asked as she refilled Kira's cup that was half empty.
"Yeah everything's great." Kira replied.
"So what'll it be?" She motioned toward the menus and as they ordered Ren motioned her head that she had to leave.
"Kira I'll be in the bathroom checking my make-up. It'll just take a minute or two and-"
"and I'm taking my best friend to the fish tank to take a special tour of the fishes. It's only a once and a life time chance you get to be here. So it may take a while." Kira smiled at the two girls and nodded. It was weird how he didn't protest about her leaving but she didn't have the time to think about that.
"I'm getting tired of this." Kagome whispered as they made a beeline toward Sesshomaru.
"You got yourself into this."
"I know." She admitted as she took a seat in front of her date. "Sorry I took so long." She looked down at the food placed in front of her and cocked an eyebrow. "What the hell is this?" She whispered to Ren.
"It's clam soup. It's really good." Ren departed from the table leaving them to talk.
"How's the kitchen?" He inquired.
"The kitchen?" She paused for a second. "Oh the kitchen. It was great I didn't expect it to be that busy and chaotic."
" I hope you're not going to go somewhere again." He had a slight scowl on his face and she could tell he was trying to stay calm. She was gone for almost 20 minutes and she could understand why he would be mad.
"No. I told Ren to not take me anywhere in this place anymore. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry it's just that I haven't seen you for so long since that bastard Kira moved here."
"He's not that bad you know. He can be annoying but once you get to know him he's really nice and caring."
He cornered his eyes as he sighed. "He's growing on you. I knew it."
"What do you mean growing on me?"
"I mean that you're liking him now than later on you'll be going on a date with the guy. You know when Ren says I'm jealous and I just deny it. Well I am jealous because I found you first and I love you so much but that guy is stealing you away from me."
"He's not stealing me away."
"Than why aren't you calling me your boyfriend and why can't I kiss you with out asking your permission. It's like you're unsure whom you're going to be with but I guess I understand. I know I should be happy who ever you choose but it still-"
Her phone rang out and she quickly reached for her phone in her purse. She was just wishing it was her regular phone but it was the blue one. It was hard to breath and she just quickly put it up against her ear, not wanting to make the same mistake like last time.
"Hello?"
"It's me. You didn't answer the last time." He said monotonously.
"I'm sorry I-" She trailed off as her hand trembled.
"Well I want you to get out of that restaurant. I want to see my little girl again."
"How did you know-"
"Just get to the park where we first met." She almost dropped the phone. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and her shoulders tensed up as she tired to speak.
"Hiten?"
